It depends on the length of messages and character count. Have a look here....

Hi @Anonymous Have a look at this thread...https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/ba-p/1014132
Particularly this section
Adding “Emoticons”
An emoticon is a smiley face, a thumbs up or any other tiny picture that many people like to add to their SMS messages.
THESE ARE THE BIGGEST SINGLE SOURCE OF ACCIDENTAL MMS SENDING.
Adding an emoticon by itself won’t, in many cases, force the message into MMS format, but, what it will do, is eat up your character count.
A simple smiley face or wink will use 90 characters.
With this in mind it is easy to see how just by adding 3 emoticons actually reduces your character count to only 210 letters (that’s not much!)
You can avoid this by inserting a smiley using keyboard characters rather than hitting the emoticon key and choosing a picture. A smile can be written as : ) or a wink as ; )
On some phones you will find 2 versions of emoticons (pretty ones and basic ones).
The basic ones will use less characters but you should always keep your eye on character count and auto MMS conversion.
