I have a 14p plus vat fee on my bill under text messages. I checked the number and the date of the message on my phone. The number belongs to my yoga instructor and on the day of the charge she sent me a message which I reacted to with a 🩷. Have I been charged to react to a message?!? If so, can anyone direct me to where this is explained by IDmobile please? And why would this reaction be chargeable but not others?
charged to react to a text message?

Hi
If you have replied to a text message with a picture, photo, emoji, GIF, video or sound clip then you will be charged for an MMS message.
This is outlined in their ‘Call charges & Add-Ons’ and are not included as part of the ‘Unlimited texts’ in a contract package….

(Scroll down to MMS (Multimedia Message Service)).
If you wish to send (free) MMS messages then you will need to use an app that allows this e.g. Whatsapp.
I hope this clarifys the situation x
