I?m a bit stumped by my unit.
A couple of weeks ago, I sent a text message to someone, asking them to contact my email address.
When I pressed ?Send?, I got the usual ?your balance is ?20.99?, so I pressed O.K. Within a split second I got another pop up saying ?your balance is ?20.87?,,,, then another, then another ? with the balance going down 12p at a time.
I contacted 02, who said ?yep ? you?ve sent 4 messages?. Of course I only sent 1.
02 sent me a printout to show the records. (I initially thought they were all timed the same, but now see they were a few minutes apart). (the pee take is that the number I texted to, is no longer in use !?).
This occurred a couple of times, with one young lady saying: ?you don?t need to send me 3 copies? !?
After a couple of other niggles, I had the unit changed (I bought it from Phons4You. If I had known they were part of DialAphone, I wouldn?t have touched ?em with a barge pole).Yesterday, I got the same thing again ? charged twice for a message just saying ?I?m on the way?.
When I mention it to 02/Phones4you, they always ask ?how long were the messages ??.
So, my questions are:
Are text messages limited to a certain amount of characters ?
If so, how many ?
Without having to count ?em, how do we know how many we use ?
Unrelated: How do I tell if I?m using G2 or G3 ?
I?m slowly getting used to this new fangled gear ?!
