When the iPhone is turned on, FaceTime and iMessage services send SMS messages to a number from Britain to authorize the smartphone on Apple's servers. And each such authorization can lead to a write-off of money if these messages are not included in the cost of the operator's package of services. writes about this "Exploit" / Telegram Telegram channel "Exploit".
So, the authors of the channel found out that each reboot of the iPhone costs them almost 10 rubles. And the charge also occurs when the SIM card is replaced and the iOS operating system is updated.
The solution may be to simply disable FaceTime and iMessage in the settings, or prohibit sending SMS abroad through the operator's support service. In the second case, the functionality of the applications must be preserved.
As it turned out, similar cases have occurred before. For example, in 2021, users already complained Kotovskiy / Twitter for a similar problem, and also with the SIM card of the MegaFon operator. We advise you to check your account for similar charges.
