Being charged for MMS when sending email to email on 3 UK
Hi All. I'm currently on the network Three UK on one of their all you can eat data plans. I noticed the other day that there was a charge for additional usage on my account. When I called them to ask what it was they advised it was for 2 MMS's that had been sent. I've never sent an MMS from my iPhone and told them this. Turns out it was a couple of emails I'd sent to another email address that had photo's attached to them. Three advised that emails with photo's attached were treated as MMS's even when it was from email to email.
Has anyone come across this and found a way around it? I've now turned off MMS in message settings but I can't stress enough that this was email sent to another email address through the mail app.....NOT through text or iMessage.
Don't worry Chris, "someone trying to screw you" means the same here as over the pond in this context. It was only about 70p for two emails (about $1.10) and I demanded the money back when I called them. They said they would return it on this occasion as I didn't know there would be a charge but in future if I sent any more emails with images attached I would be charged the MMS rate.
I'm hoping this was a glitch as when I spoke to the guy in the shop (re-assuring local) he had never had it happen to him or even heard of it happening and categorically stated I should never be charged for an emailed image.

Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!
WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?! This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!
Hello NotHappy101,
I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
Thanks,

HT1918 Why is my credit card being charged for Apps when my daughter has an iTunes card?
Why is my credit card getting charged for my daughter's apps for her iPod when she has $8 on an iTunes card left to use?
Login to the account on iTunes and under payment info, select none for the credit card. iTunes is supposed to use gift cards and store credit over credit cards but it doesn't.

Hello I had a bunch of songs on my iPad and a friend told me I can re-download them onto my iPhone with the username I have and I did that and I was charged for them. I really wish I knew I would of been charged for this or else I would of had to wait until I can do so without being overdrawn in my bank account.
You can, but you need to click the "Purchased" section of the iTunes Store to see your previously purchased stuff (you'll see little "cloud" icons to indicate your just downloading, not repurchasing). If you're on your phone, you click "More" then "Purchased" and you'll see everything there.
You should contact Apple support. Using iTunes for the Mac or PC, go to the iTunes Store, click your account name to get to your account section, then you can look at your purchase history and "report a problem" for a specific purchase. -

When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.
Thanks for the help, Allan Sampson.
I updated itunes, shut the phone off and on, it still didn't give me blue bubbles. Kept following the suggestions on the page ... I didn't know there was an IMessaging switch, but, shoot, it was OFF. Anyway, I toggled it on and now the text bubbles are blue again. -

SO CRAPPY!!! SO FED UP WITH VERIZON!! WE ARE GETTING SCREWED OVER!! I am being charged for 3 GB that apparently Verizon hadn't caught up on that I had used!! The last night of my cycle I called and checked and I had .5 GB left and right before midnight when the cycle ended it caught up on 3 GB!! I now have to pay for this data I know I did not use! I never have my data on!! Now it says I used 7 GB last month!!!
Data usages are always estimated...I don't believe any carrier post data usage in real time. I've had my data increased due to a large chunk being unaccounted for at the time of my cycle. Thankfully when I'm billed for it...it has never pushed me over my limit.

Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not order. They said that my account had been compromised and it was in my best interests to delete it for security reasons! I am convinced the operator deleted my account out of sheer malice because I complained - can anyone advise?
No. It would have been done for security reasons. You notified them that money was being unknowingly taken from your account, so they froze it.
Change your Apple ID here
And also check for unusual activity on your credit card with your bank. Change all your security password while you are at it.

I just checked my bill online after upgrading my phone to a iPhone 6 and now I am being charged for something called Total Mobile Protection. Is this some kind of phone insurance or something?
I was never charged this before so was kind of upset to see it added on without my permission/knowledge (I specified to the Verizon Wireless agent in the store I went to that I only wanted the contract for the $60 2GB and Unlimited talk/text plan that I currently had. They said that would work).
How can I get this extra $10 a month off my bill?When you upgrade online you do have the option to deny this though the deny option is way down the page. make s it look like you have to choose an insurance option. Also I've done 2 recent upgrades in a retail store twice and both times they added the protection without asking. Luckily I always check my account so I easily removed this feature on the first day. Let's just say I won't be upgrading at this store ever again. No wonder people get mad when they upgrade multiple lines and their bill is $30, $40, $50 higher than what they a were told because of this unasked for feature.

My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP
I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
Is there anything else I can do?? -
Am I being charged for international texting?
So I am doing a masters program in Ireland, so I'm international. Everyone that I talk to back home has an iphone just like I do, and I have a question that I cannot find an answer to.
Since I'm in Ireland, I don't want to have a huge phone bill every month, so I have all forms of roaming off (voice, data, and international CDMA). I also have Cellular data off, as well as MMS and SMS messages.
I've checked under the current data usage period, and current period roaming, and the data usage is 0 . When my friend back home texts me, he says that they are sending to me as regular texts. He receives mine as regular texts as well unless I'm in a wifi area, then we are both send and receive them as Imessages.
My questions is that even with all roaming turned off, cellular, ect, I'm still able to send and receive text messages while I'm NOT in a wifi area. This only works for my friends and family that have Iphones, so I'm assuming that it means I'm okay to text them while I'm not connected to wifi?
one thing to mention, that since I'm in Ireland, my service provider at the top left of the screen no longer says AT&T. It says "Vodaphone IE" and sometimes changes to other names like Meteor, O2, and a couple others. My plan is still through AT&T, so i'm not sure why it changes over to those. Maybe that's why I'm able to send texts?
I just don't want to rack up a huge phone bill, not knowing I was accumulating international charges. Because if everything is turned off except for Imessage, and the data under cellular in settings isn't going up, then theoretically I'm not using data right? or that it should be free? I've been here about a month, and my mom pays the bill. She hasn't called to say that the phone bill was extremely large, but I don't wan't to text if there's some kind of risk. That being said, I would really appreciate some help with the above scenario that I just described, because this has me clueless.If the messages you receive are coming in as green, then they're coming in as text messages. If you can, check your voice, data and text usage on AT&T's website - that will tell you for sure if you're being charged for anything.

We paid the annual premium and are still being charged for the monthly.
We started with Adobe by paying $14.99 monthly. Last August, we decided to go with the annual to save money, Since that time, we have continued to be charged monthly since August - December 14.99 monthly, in error. How can I get refunded the overcharge $59.96 and stop this charge?
Sara, thank you for your response. I was in touch with customer care before they contacted you to contact me. They said they could not help completely but that you should be able to. I need to cancel the $14.99 monthly charge and be refunded the $14.99 charges since I paid the annual fee. The $14.99 is a duplicate charge as I only have one form. Please advise as to how I can stop the monthly charges and receive a refund for the duplicate charges. My phone number is 931.372.7200 if you would like to speak in person. This is the transcript:

I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email. How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?
Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.
