If your iPhone is used with a carrier not found in the wireless carrier articles, an international SMS is sent each time you activate iMessage/FaceTime. (One SMS Only)


If there are 4 SMSs that indicates you have activated iMessage 4 times.


Each time you change the SIM or activate iMessage/iCloud/FaceTime you must have got these warnings (As Shown in the pic below). If you had tapped on OK then only then the SMS is sent .....

Thank you! Yes it is true and I have changed a sim card and activated iMessage + FaceTime only once by beginning of this month, but I have received an invoice today starting from 1st July and there are 55 SMSs! sent to number +447786205094 which belongs to Apple (UK). Is it possible to insure these messages will not continue to be sent?
