Embaressing newb question...

[dt81]

This is such a newb question that I am embarrassed to ask because I SHOULD know this....here goes...

Sending and receiving MMS, is that data used against your data plan or is that included in the "unlimited text" feature with Verizon? I know its sent and received using data but not sure if its deducted from your data plan.

I'm pretty sure it's from your data plan. The unlimited texting probably refers only to SMS.

Will I get charged extra for sending or receiving a multimedia message while roaming internationally?

When you send or receive a multimedia message domestically, there isn't a data transport charge. The message itself is either $0.25 or deducts from any applicable messaging package.

I'm still on unlimited data, so I haven't really cared, but as far as I know, MMS pictures do not count toward your data. It counts as a text, so if you have unlimited texts, then you're safe. Now, if you choose to email those pictures or videos, then yes, they count against your data. However, as for anything, I'd recommend contacting VZW and ask them to make sure that they don't count.

Like I said, "as far as I know". They really need to check with Big Red. You might have given them the correct answer!

I think Patrick Schroedl's Verizon link confirms it. Unless that only refers to MMS messages on featurephones.

Here in Ireland, mms is not covered under my allowance /unit plan so we get charged extra for every mms sent. We get unlimited sms, calls and data plans but they don't include mms. These are charged seperately at approx €1 per mms.
