About MMS messages

With an MMS phone number, you can send and receive MMS messages that contain media files such as .jpg, .gif, .wbmp, .midi, .vcf (vCard®), or .vcs (vCalendar®) files. An MMS phone number is a phone number that your wireless service provider enables for MMS messaging.

You can add pictures that are not copyright protected to an MMS message, but the message cannot exceed 300 KB.
