Bongo text messaging service?

Lately I've seen people texting 'bongo' their name and the town they live in and I tried this but it doesn't send. I have an iPhone 4S and I put my full name and the town and it starts to send but then it says 'Not Delivered' does anyone know why?

Not sure if you're aware, but Bongo uses a premium rate number costing £2.50 per message sent.

I'd hazard a guess that as your parents wouldn't enjoy you texting Bongo 248 times in a month and racking up a bill of £620 + they've asked your network provider to block premium rate numbers. Aren't they smart!

  • Why can't my iPhone send or receive pictures in text messaging? My dad bought me the iPhone 4S unlocked. I got the prepaid service at tmobile which was 50$ unlimited talk text and web. I can't send pictures during text messages and I can't receive them. If someone sends me a picture I don't get it, it's just blank. The little camera icon next to the text area to type is light grey indicating I can't press on it. I can only send or receive during iMessage. Please tell me why this is happening.

  • Text messaging with iPhone So, I was writing this HUGE text message to a friend in help and before I could even press send, my phone shut down because it ran out of batteries. Will my message still be there after my phone opens even if I didn't send it! Is there a way to get it back! It took me a lot of time to write it and it won't be as good the second time I do.
  • Text messaging monitoring service? Does anyone know of a text messaging monitoring service that lets you monitor messages by either sending duplicates to another phone or an email address? Additional info, both phones are on same plan and primary account holder wants to monitor a child. Service provider is AT&T. Phone to be monitored is an iPhone 4 Primary phone is an Android. Looking for something free or a reasonable charge for service and unbeknownst to the child. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
