Media messages are messages that contain some form of media - picture normally but could be video.
They also appear if (when) you send a text but use a number of emojis (smiley faces).
You would be charged as they are not part of any allowance.

Or a long text which exceeds the 460 character count for SMS.

If you go over that by sending a long text...it will convert to MMS. All explained in the guide above.
