Just checked out my November and December bills on T-Mobile UK, and i've been charged 17p+VAT for the Twitter SMS, which it has deemed 'International', despite being a +44 number

I've contacted T-Mo for clarification...

Got a refund for the charges, but 'now I know' that it is a Channel Islands number (or something) I will be charged in future.

Rubbish

Interests:The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Hey Paul - you can check what network a text-in number is on by going here - this site tells you whether it's a uk or other number -if it is eg a manx number, you're likely to be charged more for it.

If you want a number that will work on t-mobile, try going to aql - > they do free twitter numbers but you should always check your online bill to make sure you're not being fleeced for texting to a service
