You haven’t contacted Sky by posting here. This is a customer ▶️ customer discussion forum where we try to help other customers.

 

To what type of number? Is it to a UK 07 mobile number?

Hi @GARY+LEWIS+FALOON  there has to be more to this ? Text messages from a UK mobile sim to another UK mobile sim are part of your inclusive package.

@GARY+LEWIS+FALOON 

If you have two UK mobiles they'll both start 07. As suggested already there is more to this than disclosed so far. 

Subject to a fair useage policy all texts from your Sky mobile to another UK 07 mobile number are inclusive. 

What does the number start with that you're texting to and incurring this charge?

If there is no additional information alongside the entry for these charges on your itemised bill you'll need to call Sky. We obviously can't see your bills. Contact Sky by dialling 150 free from a Sky mobile.

It looks like a billing error.  As above, see what Sky say...
