Charged for texts to 5Live

Just checked my bill and 4 texts to 85058 (Radio 5Live) are described as Premium Text charged at 10p per text. I have searched for details but to no avail. Are all short code texts treated as Premium Texts or is this particular to the BBC?

It says on BBc site
If you're texting us on 85058, you will be charged at your standard message rate for each message.

it must be your provider that is charging the costs that way

Re: Charged for texts to 5Live

Your inclusive texts covers "person to person" text messages only.
Messages to numbers such as this are outside your allowance and charged separately.
