[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1462663, member: 38928"] Vodafone UK - wouldn't trust them to give me the time of day without lies and mis-information. (sorry very very poor customer 'service' experiences). But, my Vodafone bias aside, downloading from the App Store, including in app purchasing does not use text messaging as a charging mechanic. All charges are debited from your iTunes account. The only way I can see this happening is using a webapp - which is just like being on a web page so all bets are off. Though I can't think of how a) this could happen without user knowledge and b) I don't think the web browser has access to the SMS system. I'd get back in touch (without holding your breath) and ask for details - dates, times, number used etc. Knowing which number these texts went to may help track it down. [/QUOTE]
