Does anyone know why I may be charged for multiple international texts when I’ve not knowing sent any? 12 yesterday apparently? iPhone with no known malware installed. I use iMessage but it’s been activated for months if not years.

@2degreescare can you help?

Linux: @AKT What does the number start with +?

I didn’t realise you could find out the number, but now that I have I realise what’s happened. I had an (old)overseas number in as well as an NZ number for one of my contacts and for some reason I’ve started texting the overseas number which isn’t his anymore. It explains the very confusing conversation I was having too!

Cheers. Problem solved!
