Creating and sending SMS and MMS messages
Send short text messages (SMS) to other mobile phones. If you
exceed the limit on the number of characters for a single text
message, your text message will be delivered as one but will be billed
as more than one message.
Multimedia messages, also known as MMS, can contain text and a
picture, a recorded voice, an audio or video file, a picture slideshow,
contact card (vCard), or appointment (vCalendar).
Note The Messages application automatically converts a text message into a
multimedia message when you entered an email address in the To field,
added a message subject, or attached an item.

several recipients, separate the phone numbers with a comma.
