What's with being charged for picture messages?

I got a text saying on October 14 or something like that, that we will be charged for sending/receiving picture messages now. How much is this going to cost? Also, is there going to be some kind of new plan out there that we could get to still send pictures without being charged? What will happen to the $10 messaging bundles then?

On the $10.00 plan you will have picture and text unlimited on verizon to verizon and you have 250 texts for other contracts. The message was saying if you forward three pictures to three different people would be a charge for 3 texts, but no charge if its verizon to verizon but if its from or to a different contract like ATT etc. then it would cost you 1 text for each of those three people to send and 1 for each person that received the picture or text message. Actually nothing had changed as the unlimited part its mainly for people that do not have a text plan. So don't worry about it.

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!

How do I know what I'm being charged for?

I pay my itunes with PayPal. If I buy something, I don't see the charge till days later in an email from PayPal which only identifies it as coming from iTunes, but not which product. Thus I frequently have no way to figure out whether the charges are legit & what product they relate to. The latest is I just downloaded an app that claimed to be free. Shortly after, I got a $1.99 charge from PayPal from iTunes. I have no way of knowing was that the supposedly free app or some app I bought a couple of days earlier that just now showed up on PayPal. I can't go into iTunes & see which apps were bought when or what I was charged for them. I can't go to PayPal & see was I being charged for an app or song I even bought. How does one verify charges are correct?

Log into your iTunes Store account and click on the Purchase History. All your purchases with the prices you were charged will be listed there. If you believe you've been charged for an app that should be free, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

What do i get charged for?!

just got a nokia n95 and i am unsure of what i am being charged for when using the mapping system. do i get charged for planning a route, finding places like the restaurants or local hotels etc. i have searched everywhere and found lots of different answers!
help would be much appreciated!!

I am assuming you are refering to charges for using Nokia Maps.
Firstly there is no charge to use nokia maps to locate you position and to download any maps you want. So all map updates are also free.
You will however have to pay for navigation if you wish to get turn by turn instructions. There are various rates for navigation. You can buy a single country or regions (eg. western Europe) for different durations such as a week, a month, a year etc. There used to be a 3-year license but I am not sure if this is still available.
Typical costs depending on country/region for a 1 week license is around €7.99, 1 month €8.99, 1 year €79.99 and 3 years €89.99. I got the 3 year license for Western Europe and everytime I go away on holidays I might get the 1 week or 1 month license for the region I am visiting.

There could also be associated network charges if you choose to go online and use AGPS when navigating. Network charges can be avoided by pre-loading your maps to your phone using the Map Loader programme and turning AGPS off.

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.

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.

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.

I am being charged for itune purchases I did not make. Charges are appearing on my bank statement. I have been going around in circles trying to dispute the charges but am going round and round in circles with no success. Suggestions please.

I cannot get any response for HELP!!

I was informed that my data plan was eligible for a free upgrade from 250mb to 750mb and told the rep to do so. but it was never done. I am being charged for overage. What do I do?

I called in to do a temp upgrade on my data and was told by the rep that my account was eligible for a free upgrade. I said okay, but it never happened and now I am being charged for an overage. When I check my plan specifics I see that my data is set to the old amount, I will not pay what I don't owe. Now I am having trouble contacting anyone to help resolve this issue.

Dusty4691,
This is a stumper! As MrHelper stated, we do not have a 750MB plan so I'm curious as to what that offer was. How much data did you end up using for the month and how much were you charged in overages?

I am being charged for a phone I never recieved

Verizon sent me a replacement phone through the US postal service and I never recieved it. Verizon then sent me a phone from FedEx (I believe) and I recieved it and sent the impaired phone back. Now I am being charged for the phone the post office never delivered. I have been working on this for more than two months and I still haven't gotten it straightened out. I have spoken with mulitple service representatives who all seem very nice and helpful and they all tell me that they can see the issue and that it should be cleared up in a couple of days and that they will follow up with me to let me know that it has been taken care of but to this day I have not recieved any follow up and the charge is still on my bill.
What do I have to do to get this taken care of.
Regards,
One extremly upset customer

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.

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,
