I am being charged for iMessages

I am being charged for iMessages by AT&T. Most of my texts are in blue as iMessages and it says iMessage on the white line before I start typing. I only pay for 200 texts a month, so I look at my data using my AT&T app a few times a week. I looked at my AT&T app to see my data on Friday and it said I have used 170 texts. I looked today and it says I have gone over with 214. I then looked at my texts made since Friday. I had only texted non iPhone users 8 times which are green and 30 something texts with iPhone users which were blue. I contacted AT&T to resolve the problem. They say it all 214 show they are all text messages and for me to contact Apple. In order to talk with an Apple representative by phone or online I have to purchase a $29 single incident of support.
What should I do? On myiPhone my texts are iMessages in blue, but my iMessages are showing up as regular texts with AT&T. So they are charging me for them and I have gone over my 200 text a month.
Please help!

Then take a screen shot of the messages in blue and tell them to go F themselves because you have the evidence right in front of them.

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.

HT3529 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.

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.

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,

I am being charged for something I already paid for and want to know how to stop this insanity. How do I cantact apple and get the chages reversed. How do i get the inapp purchase that I already paid for into my new iPad.
Thx

You can contact iTunes support here : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
But not all in-app purchases can be re-downloaded for free or transferred to a different device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009

I have unknown charges on my account. How can I tell what I am being charged for?

I would like to know how to tell what I am being charged for. I have two .99 charges on my bank account and I am unsure as to what they are for. One in particular is from today and I have not purchased anything. I did do some app updates. Am I being charged for updating a purchased app?
I would like to know how to get the specific information of purchases that are appearing on my bank statement. I have tried searching for the reference number from my statement but did not find anything.
Thank you!

It could be:

I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

Hi If you have another Apple device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

I am out of the country. I turned my cellular data off and connected to wiFi . However, it is still showing that i am connected to a network. How can i be sure that i am not being charged for roaming?

Make sure data roaming and cellular data is turned off. If you don't want to receive calls or SMS then put your phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi

HELP. My brother is being charged for broadband. h...

Can someone please help my brother is being charged for bt broadband that he doesn't have after being charged £125 installation fee for a bt man to sit in his van for an hour and not do a thing. After numerous phone calls to resolve this he asked me to come on here has the mods really helped me out.

Hi Dolphin,
what i would recommend is for you to help your brother by contacting BT directly and find out who and when the order was processed for BT Broadband.
Secondly, has your brother received a BT Home Hub? If not then i would ask BT why?
You state that a BT engineer sat out in a van for some time, what was this for? was this for a booked instalation for BT Broadband? if so, raise a complaint with BT, hopefully this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/2702,2705,2719 will allow you to e-mail BT or you can always dial 150 from a bt line to complain.
Here is more info if you wish to complain with BT, follow the procedures to BT's book, if they fail, you can complain to Otelo

Why my iphone is being charged for 2 days

why my iphone is being charged for two days to be fulled?

If you are using the wall charger it is because your phone or charger is broken. If it is using a computer it is likely that the computer shuts off its USB ports when idle.

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:

HT1918 Why is my debit card being charged for iTune purchases when my account is set up with my Amex card

Why is my debit card being charged for iTunes purchases when my iTunes account is set up with my Amex card?

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.
