Expert Opinion
Watch out for hidden SMS charges that can appear on your bill after a new Xiaomi phone is activated. Many users report that the device sends an automatic verification text to a UK number without showing it in the message history, and carriers then bill for the international send. This behavior isn’t a scam from a third party; it’s built‑in auto‑SMS functionality that some operators treat as a chargeable service. To avoid surprise fees, revoke the SMS permission for the Xiaomi verification app, disable auto‑send in the phone’s settings, or use a custom ROM that removes the feature. Regularly audit your bill for unknown numbers and contact your carrier if you see unexpected entries.
