Exchanging messages
You can send text (SMS) messages of up to 160 characters to another mobile phone. If you keep typing
after the limit, your message is delivered as a series of messages (if supported by your carrier).
Multimedia (MMS) messages can contain text and a picture, a recorded voice, an audio file, a video, or a
picture slideshow. Messaging automatically converts a message into a multimedia message if you send
it to an email address instead of a phone number, add a subject or attach a media file.
