mms charges?
I have loads of sms txts included in my Tesco mobile contract so dont understand why if I send a txt to more than one person it converts to mms and I get a 25p charge. Also if I send a long txt instead of using two or three sms credits it also converts to mms and I am charged 25p. Is that correct and fair? I have spoken to their chat and they say this is correct but I am sure this was not always the case. Anyone able to advise?

Its usually down to the phone. What phone do you have?
For example i have an xperia arc s. I have used it on vodafone, orange and t-mobile. I can send long texts and it tells me when i reach the specified number of characters that it will be sending 2, 3 sms. Also i can use a
and it still goes as a sms. If my wife uses the on her S3 (on Orange) is converts it to a mms. 0 -
If you're using Handcent on Android the last update switched the default to mms for text's longer than 3 standard length (rather then their old default of always set to sms). I didn't find out until the next bill after the update!!0
