Go into you message settings and tick the box to warn you when the sms converts to mms otherwise you will be racking up charges of 35p per mms. Anything up to 480 character will normally go as standard sms.

I don't think their is many people who use MMS due to the high charge. 😞

As in the link many use Whatsapp etc or e mail.

I use iMessage an an iPhone user when sending such material to another iPhone user.
