Sounds like the person you spoke to doesn't know how iPhones work on their network.

You can stop using iMessage/FaceTime and that would stop the messages. See below for how to shut it off. You MUST do both steps to stop the messages. Information courtesy of Lawrence Finch

You need to follow these steps:

• FaceTime: Go to Settings/FaceTime. Tap on your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
• iMessage: Go to Settings/Messages. Tap on Send & Receive, then tap on your Apple ID and tap Sign Out.

Once you have done that there will be one more text to the UK for each to notify the server that you have signed out, but there should not be any more after that.

Your options are:

1. Call Vodafone and escalate your request. This is their problem to solve
2. Continue using iMessage and pay for those activation messages
3. Stop using iMessage

It is more likely Vodafone's problem. iPhones send texts to a number in the UK for activating iMessage and FaceTime.

What country are you in?

Contact Vodafone. They're a supported carrier in Egypt and should not be charging you.
