Hello. i have the $10 pre paid plan which includes 50 text message
I am on Wifi . and cellular data is off
i have disabled SMS on my i phone setting also i have Imessage on .
when i am sending i message ( which is going through Blue color ) as well as i message it is counting as a message send.
even so i just activated the number with SIm card. i have only send a total of 4 message which was i message but on my account it is showing i have used 9 /50 messaging
can someone clarify this or is this a billing mistake ?
thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

@NDesai nice find!!! It never occurred to me that the short code could spell iPhone, but you're 100% correct.

Looks to me like nobody has reacted to your post...
Just to make sure that you understand how things work at Public Mobile:
- If your plan doesn't have the texting feature included you will not be able to receive incoming texts, period. If you need the ability to receive text messages (ie two way verifications) you need to choose a ready made plan that includes texting, or make sure that you include the texting feature if you use the plan builder (most often the plan cost stays the same or gets even cheaper due to bundle discounts for more than one choice!).
- Also, Public Mobile does NOT have any pay per use features. If it's not included in your plan or add-on, you can't use it. There are never any surprise charges.
Edit: Ninja'd by @Anonymous , again... 🙂

You won't see it in your phone. Go to your usage history in your self-serve account and you will see those texts went to the number that spells "iphone".

Hopefully plans here don't charge for receiving text messages when on plans without unlimited texting.

@mooj1i Since you're using an iPhone, it is common that iPhone sends a few texts automatically to verify their services. But this is only once and should not reoccure unless you switch to another iPhone.
