o2 - pic messages used to count as 4 txt - not so sure with new contract!

Options
Used to count as 4 text message but new contract is a bit vague and I'm not sure they're included. 20p instead.

Any ideas?

    march this year, if you renewed your contract after then they will now be charged, same with the international txts from abroad.

    If you're on a tariff that gives you a text allowance , e.g. 500, then a pic message is worth 4 out of that allowance. If you're on a tariff that gives you unlimited texts - unfortunately it charges you for a pic message :(

    Only heard about this from a mate who has just upgraded

    retentions still have access to the old tariffs so you should be able to change to one of these. 1200 mins, 2400 texts and unlimited data is an 02 old iphone promo tariff at £30pm. its called iphone simplicity 30 and i think they also do 600min 1200txt at £20pm. internatonal msgs and pic msgs count as 4.
