SMS messages are used to activate facetime and iMessage. If you are using an unsupported carrier, you may be charged for those messages. That’s made clear up front. If you’re using an unsupported carrier and don’t have a plan that allows for free international SMS messages, your best course of action is to disable facetime and iMessage entirely until you can switch to a supported carrier.

Supported carriers will not charge for those messages. If you are using a supported carrier, contact them and make sure your account is properly provisioned for an iPhone.

You will not get a refund for your text messages. No text is sent to connect to FaceTime or iMessage, those are connected through WiFi.
