Why do you get charged every time for Activating iMessage or Facetime.
For iMessage/Facetime to activate after SIM change, iOS update or iMessage off/on,
iOS would be trying to send a background international TXT to the UK +44 (is 31c/SMS on prepay).
This is for Apple to validate the mobile number as yours so that people can't spoof your mobile number
and pretend to be you through iMessage/Facetime.
iMessages themselves are of course, not charged at all by Vodafone per message,
iMessages only use a relatively small ammount of internet data be that mobile or WiFi at home or whatever.
