Picture text chareges

Why am I being charged £0.95 each for a 2 picture text which I seem to have sent on WhatsApp? In total I have 4 texts charged over the month. Another one was on messages. 4 in total for £2.85. I'm on a 2k data plan with lots of data left.

Thank you. But these pictures were sent to my son on normal phone number along with lots of others and only those 2 were charged. That's what's confusing!

Disable MMS on your phone. If any app uses it then you'll be charged.
