About text and multimedia messages
SMS messages are also know as “text” messages and can each be around 160 characters. If
you continue to type after the limit is reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count
as more than one message. These are called “concatenated” messages.
MMS messages are also known as “multimedia” or “picture” messages and can contain text,

multimedia message as soon as you add a subject or an attachment, or if you address the
message using an email address rather than a phone number.
