Apparently there is a 16p charge now to use iMessage

Is this correct?

Before I was on Voxi, I was on a contract with Three and occasionally used to end up with a bill for £8.12 instead of £8 when I sent an SMS to a shortcode - not a premium-rate one, but one advertised as "billed at your standard message rate". It is indeed billed at your standard message rate, but doesn't come out of your bundle! There are all sorts of little gotchas like this.
 
iMessage is nothing to do with SMS, it's all cellular data anyway

Is an iMessage treated as a MMS which isn't part of the bundle ?

Hmm, does seem a bit off they do this. Is it even legal?


Update: After enough complaining, they waived the fee and added some credit to my account, and then my imessage started working.

It may seem that they run a squeeky wheels get greased kind of customer service system.
 
iMessage uses your mobile data connection. If you are on pay as you go and do not have a data allowance then they might have charged you for the data used to send it.
