Did anyone know that even if you get free texs if you send a group on you get charged for it. ??
Apparently it's an apple thing !!!

And how is Apple charging you for these group messages? What wireless provider do you have?

OK... from what I understand about wireless providers outside of the United States (EE included), they're mostly pay as you go or pay per use non-contract wireless plans. When a group message is composed and sent... it will send as a Multimedia Message. MMS' use data each time they send and reply. So, you will see data usage and charges incured for these.

Is that what your daughter is seeing... data usage and/or charges?
