Your carrier may charge for sms messages used to activate facetime?
I'm on contract and last week was able to change my phone. I got an iphone 4s but when i turn facetime on, it says 'your carrrier may charge for sms messages used to activate facetime'. Due to me being on contract, would it charge me on my monthly bill if i activated it? I managed to do imessage. All i had to do was make sure it didn't send as an sms but for facetime i'm unsure. Could probably do with a full explantion because as you've gathered, i'm new to iphones/ipods.
Thanks anyway.
Added (1). @Mr K; Thanks, really helped me with that:-) As i'm only level 1 it wouldn't let me like your comment or comment back but yeah, thanks!
It is standard procedure. It will add on to your monthly bill, it may even be free in your inclusive text messages. You must have Wi-Fi connection to use FaceTime. If you activate it the instructions on screen are easy you follow. Although Skype I find better to use.
- Is it possible that some iPhone text messages may not send to the receiver? Well I asked one of my friends if she received one of my text once, since she never responded, and she said no. So my question is, is it true that some iPhone text messages may not properly be sent to the receiver? Also, how can you tell if someone received the text or not on the iphone 4?

- IMessage and FaceTime on iPhone sending not one but up to 15 activation SMS? Why does my iPhone send so many SMS to activate iMessage it should on send one or 2 and then should stay activated as I have never turn iMessage on and off again. I got a new plan and now I get billed for international SMS it is no longer included. $0.45 each SMS adds up quick as my plan is already $120 a month just for the included stuff.
- If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
