Just seen my latest bill for my iPhone SE and see there is an MMS message charge when I get "free messaging".

Why is MMS vs SMS and why would the charge me extra for it?

Cheers

This should be something you take up with your carrier, not us.

MMS = Multimedia Messaging Service
SMS = Short Message Service

Back in the day, SMS was deemed anything that was just text and MMS was anything that involved audio/video/pictures. These days, they are grouped together simply as "messaging". If you are seeing a fee on this, they might not be combining them and charging you separately. So talk to them and have them explain it to you.
