How do I download Text Photos?

[AC Question]

Text Photos

I can not download text attachments unless I turn on Mobile Data, I thought texts didn't use the Internet/4G network? I have it off due to minute uses, can you change how attachments are obtained?

When attachments are sent to your device, they are received and sent as MMS, especially images. If its documents, then sometimes there's need for the internet. I am not sure whether its possible to send the attachments without an internet connection, but I do know most of them are sent via MMS, which largely depends on the internet.
