All networks charge for mms either directly or through buying a bolt on to allow a number of free ones to be sent.

They are chargeable because they use and old level of tech which is not compatible with current data systems.

They way you can avoid charges is to use apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, line, wickr etc.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
