Standard Network Rate Charge

Hi,

If you have a bundle of free text message, and text to a shortcode number that charges 'standard network rate charge', does it go from the free bundle or are you charged separately for it?

Thanks!

    Short code messages are charged for. They don't come out of your bundle (unfortunately!)

    There are exceptions, for example your network may have an agreement with the provider so that the message comes out of your allowance or you are allowed so many free each month (twitter, facebook etc).
