    I've occasionally had the same problem with O2, and recieved double texts from a friend on Orange! Fortunately I haven't had the extra ones taken out of my allowance.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
  • Vodafone had an issue recently where when the receiving network was vodafone, they would not aknowledge receipt of the text/mms, and as a result, the sending network would be requested to send again.

    On orange network this affected customers with the 6233/6280 as far as i'm aware, and when sending to vodafone network (due to a back-log, slow clearance) people were being charged multiple times.

    It'll be a case of checking your bill, and contesting it if you think it's happened to ya

    pS) they say it can't happen, but it most definately can, and clearly has if it's happened to you!!
