Are you an iPhone user who's received a higher than usual bill? Could it be emojis?

Hi there,

At the end of last year we published this story: Beware texting sad or smiley faces - you could pay £100s. At the time, our research showed certain Samsung phones converted emojis/pictures in text messages into the pricier MMS. Apple denied there was a problem with its phones but we think it may also be happening with iPhones.

If you're an iPhone user and you've received a slightly higher than usual bill and you think it's because text messages with emojis are converting to the pricier MMS, please can you get in touch with news@moneysavingexpert.com with the details?

Many thanks, MSE Paloma
