Why can't I attach a photo to a text message?

[AC Question]

I was able to send multiple photos attached to a text message on my 2015 Moto G running Android 5.1. After I "upgraded" to Lollipop I am no longer able to send even one 500KB photo attached to a text message.

Unless your carrier has drastically cut the size allowed, you should be able to send up to about 1MB total. Check the texting app to make sure that there's no SMS size limit causing thee problem. If not, bring the phone to the carrier and ask for help.
