do you charge me when I include an emoji in a text message?

Best answer by Kash M

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.

    I’ve sent plenty of SMS messages to UK mobiles with an emoji, and iD haven’t charged me for sending these @Stevio777.
