6.1 SMS and MMS
Text messages
: One text message can contain up to 150 (English) / 130 (Spanish) characters.
You can send a text message of any length. If the message length exceeds 150 (English) / 130
(Spanish) characters, the message will be sent as a multimedia message (MMS) and charged in
the rate of a multimedia message.
Multimedia messages
: Multimedia messages make everyday messages extra special. You can
record a message and send it as an audio file or send a slideshow of photographs. For example,
you can sing "Happy Birthday" to someone, send them a video message, or send photos of a
special event.
