I've looked through the Messaging app but nothing specific about making MMS or SMS as default, so it'll depend on what you add to your messages. As for failing, that could just be a signal strength issue or your plan does not give you free unlimited txts so you may be paying for each message (200? characters long per message) and have no credit left or txts left. The account is unlimited texts per month for $10. signal srenght is ok. PJ |

| 1447943 | 2018-04-02 07:19:00 | Keep in mind that many different phones have their own text character count limits. In my experience with my phones these are lumped into segments. If your carrier detects that the number of 'lumps' is exceeded, then the carrier may convert it to MMS. I've only recently discovered that if I exceed the number of 'lumps' of texts, then the phone or carrier tells me that the message will be sent once mobile data is switched back on. I tried this, but even though my messages were eventually sent (just a matter of a minute or less), I didn't notice on my online control panel record that any data was extracted from my available data balance (or maybe I didn't look at the data figures closely enough). So basically in my case, the message has always gone through without any noticeable cost. Also keep in mind that some carriers charge a set price for texts (depending on plan), like 20c per sms text. But 50c per MMS. |
