Hi @Stevio777,

Welcome to the Community!

If your message sends as MMS then you may be charged.

Your text message will sometimes automatically get converted to MMS.

This is completely beyond iD’s control. It depends on your phone’s operating system, and the person – or persons - you’re messaging. It might happen for these reasons:

  • Your text includes a photograph, emoticon, GIF, video or sound clip.
  • Your text has more than 160 characters.
  • You send a text to an email address.
  • You send a text to enter a competition or make a donation.
  • You send a text with a subject line on it.
  • You use iPhone Messages to send a text to a non-iPhone user.
