Information on the app settings is also here.
Sometimes apps send text messages using billable Premium services. Android
detects every attempt by an app to send an SMS in your name. A warning is displayed
when there is a suspicion that an SMS entails additional charges. Text messages can
be discarded, or sent anyway, in these cases.
