IPhone 6 and multiple text messages

[dobe384]

I had a friend set up my iphone 6 with public moblile.  I have the standard $10.00 plan to see how things work.  This limits me to 50 text messages and 50  minutes per month.  During the first month I have been sending multiple text messages according to my account when I can only recall sending one text message.  Are the settings on the iphone sending multiple messages when it cannot get through due to lack of data or WiFi connections.  Help or advice would be appreciated

LOL, it was the first thing i noticed when I started with PM mainly because with PM you have the ability to easily look at text in self serve.

Apple uses text to set up imessage this should only be for the first little while than it will stop.

Similar thing happened to me, with my new activation of an iphone 6, text messages to some unknown number (474663).  It only happened within the first 1-2 days of my activation.  About 10 text messages sent.  It is a known issues with Apple.  Possible your iphone trying to connect with imessage or facetime. 

I messaged the moderators, who were nice enought to credit me the 10 texts for that month.  It stopped though after the first couple of days....

@dobe384 yes, iPhone sends multipe messages for the first several days while it sets up iMessage/iCloud.
