Turn off iMessage to MMS?

[gemz4the1]

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread - i'm not 100% sure if it should be here or the Pay Monthly/PAYG thread.

I was using my mobile on Sunday on 3G/4G. I tried to send a fews pictures over iMessage.  The area I was in had bad signal so it would not sent via the internet so they sent as MMS (which I did not want to).  MMS aren't included in my tariff so I have been charged for these.

I don't know how to turn it off.  I know there is an option in the Messages tab of the iPhone to turn off the messages being automatically sent as text messages if the iMessage can't get through, but is there a way of doing it for just MMS?

• From the Home screen, tap Settings.
• Tap Messages.
• Tap the MMS Messaging switch to turn on or off .

I don't know how I missed that option as it is right below the send as SMS option.

Thank you @jonsie
