    Might be worth checking with your network. Its possible that something in the network setting on the server is not counting the messages correctly.

    You could note when you get the message the 2 texts are needed and then compare it to your bill and see if that's the days you're changed for a text. . .

    Just thought to do that now! I've sent a big message and the same message popped up, I will log on to my Orange account later and see what it says.

    I think the message that pops up is probabaly something you can switch off in your phone's settings. my texts regularly go into two or even three, but I've never had a pop up warning. I'm on Orange too.

    How about replies to competition entries or something like that? Can you go to your account online and see the numbers?

    Thanks I will look into my settings, its a new phone, so I'm not totally to grips with it yet!

    Can't be texting competitions or anything because I've never done that!

    MMS multimedia message (pic message).

    I've never heard of that (but that means nothing!).

    Are you being changed the standard text message cost per text ?
