Apparently, unless you have the auto top up feature enable and have topped up by £10, premium rate texts are barred. You can successfully send a text, but it will only be a standard text, as if you were texting a friend, which is why the texts are only costing you 10p a time.
The charity is not getting its £1.50, your balance is just going down by 10p a time.
Sorry folks.0 -

Yes, sorry I forgot one bit. If it is a premium rate short code, then what I said applies, i.e. if it is like the poppy number 85099. But if it is a normal long phone number like 07*** then I think that bypasses the rule.
Taken from their website,
Premium Rate numbers (e.g. 09XX)75p, £1.50, £2.50When you call a premium rate number or any other pay service or information number. Please check the charges related to these calls as they may be per minute or per call depending on the kind of service you are calling. Some calls may be subject to a minimum call charge of one minute. If you have any doubt please contact our Customer Services Team.
Please note:
Premium Rate services are only available to customers who have signed up to Auto top-up.

come on guys, lets get this one going.
i have now tried to donate £6.00 to the Poppy appeal and £3.00 to the Yorkshire air Ambulance. neither has worked and i am trying to use up my Easy Mobile credits (about £120.00 worth).
can can we get this thread rolling on who has actually donated successfully using Easy without the need for autotopup or anything else.
times running out, and i would hate the credits to be wasted.0 -

Apart from buying ring tones, I have found another couple of sites that allow pay by text (no idea if they are any good)
http://www.lumisoft.net/index.htm - can get a-z of london for phone
New age gifts shop that accepts payment by text
http://secure1.mppglobal.com/ishop/234/Home.aspx?Guid=6652fb0899574ccc9ea426c6aeafb81d
Also seen that a Mint credit card allows credit card bill to be paid using text
