Other Charges

Text credits are charged at the advertised rate but the text to the access number (07786 200056) should count as an inclusive text although you should check with your service operator as some don’t (including T-Mobile). Alternatively, you may be charged the standard UK text messaging rate by your service operator (which in many cases is still cheaper than the operators international rate!).

Texts should not exceed 160 characters (including dialing code, destination number and spaces). If you exceed this you may be charged extra by your operator.
