Do you receiving the message when you are trying to activate iMessage and Facetime?

Perhaps Is your Wi-Fi network Is unavailable?

Turn on Wi-Fi network: Settings ☞ tap on Wi-Fi ☞ turn Wi-Fi ON

You have to make the Wi-Fi network available, because the phone sent 'silent' message at the background to the server, trying to activate your request.

Then you get charged.
