iMessage and FaceTime activation use background SMS messages to Apple's activation servers in the UK. If you are using a supported carrier and your account is properly provisioned for an iPhone, most carriers do not charge for these messages. If you are using an unsupported carrier, and you do not want to pay for these messages, turn off FaceTime and iMessage and do not turn them back on.
