Have International Bolt-On set-up. Have been texting South Africa but being charged multiply for every text. Customer Services told me that the longer the text the higher the cost. What exactly are the charges - how many characters make up a single text? Why do customer services simply cut off my calls when I ask this question?

For clarity, one text is 160 characters. 480 characters is 3 texts and you will charged in multiples of 160 characters.

@MrsCY The maximum single text is 480 characters. ( One standard text is 160 characters)

If texting South Africa with the International bolt on, it should be 15p per text.
