Author	Multiple text messages.Being billed for Photo Messages

I contacted Orange and was informed after explaining I don't send photo messages (maybe 1 or 2 per month max) but certainly not the 286 that I was being billed for! I was informed it is the hand set (I have a De-Branded C905 with latest SE Firmware) apparently if I forward a text to more than 4 or 5 people at a time the phone sends it as a Picture Message...Is this true?? I was promised a refund for the charges, yet My February bill hasn't shown the refund, so I will phone and sort that out, I also noticed I still had about 22 Photo messages on it, but not as many as last time as I tried to only forward texts to no more than 5 people at a time (so there theory seems to work) but any more than that and my bill does show up as Photo messages sent.... It is really annoying as I sometimes need to send a message to more than 25 people at a time and have to keep doing it in blocks of 4 or 5, has anyone else come accross this problem with this handset? Thanks for reading, Mark
