Earlier when I had iPhone3gs there was nothing like Facetime and iMessage, but since my new iPhone5 these both have been a pain in my neck.
Even thought I have disabled the Factime and iMessage switch, they still send activation message from the background
.
And those messages are International sms sent, 5 times more the cost of a local sms in our country
.
Now why in the blue sky does Apple wants me to activate Facetime and iMessage, if I am really not interested to do so
.
Apple takes so much caution in making sure that there is no security loop left behind and in the other way round they have designed something that sends sms from the background without your knowledge
.
I have been charged so many times because of those international sms that now I have a prepaid card installed which has no balance
.
But either ways I am suffering, because now I am unable to make any calls because of insufficient balance

Oh no.
When in previous years i had a Samsung galaxy core, they also keep sending messages whenever i changed the sim. Even if i changed the same sim 5times in a day, they would charge.
So, it was in some settings which i hardly found that t could be stopped... Finally did. :)

@ShifaLk Good your settings worked out for you, here that also is not working. I am using a sim card with zero balance in it or each time I need to make sure that the balance is below $5 or else the sms gets sent. I still don't understand what so great in iPhone that people are ready to pay so much on it. Thank God my sister gave one of her or else if ever I had brought it then
