MMS

[Isabel1a]

Can someone please help me? I don’t like to send long text messages like MMS . It used to stop you typing when you used so many words. I really liked that a shorter text stopping you from texting a novel. Please help. I’m not very technical.

@Isabel1a What phone do you have? A standard text message is usually 160 characters. Please take a look at this link which may help you: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/ba-p/1014132

If you have an iPhone. You can turn mms off

Adding emoji's to to a text will eat up character count. ie a single emoji uses in the region of 90 characters...so if you use two thats 180. An awful lot to use when 1 text is 160 (though you are usually allowed 3 texts (480 characters) before it converts to MMS

There are fair cheaper ways of sending pictured or emoji's if you use Whatsapp or Messenger over WiFi.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum.
