What’s the limit on sending photos and videos via MMS?

If you want to send photos or videos to a phone number via MMS, you can attach up to five photos or one video (you can’t combine media types). The total size of an MMS message is limited to 1.2 MB.

How do I decide whether to send something via text or MMS message?

You don’t have to worry about it. Just compose your message and add any attachments; your phone will automatically select the right way to send. In general, when you send a message that’s just text, it will be sent by text message; when you attach media to your message, it will be sent by MMS. If you address your message to more than one person, the message will switch to MMS; you can switch it back to text by tapping Switch > Text in the menu.

Note: Text messages are also known as SMS (Short Message Service) messages.
