Data & MMS messages

Reinhad — Mon, 09 May 2022 01:44:05 GMT

I keep getting a message " tap here to allow MMS Messages when data is off " I do not have much data 100 mb a month. I am afraid of inadvertently being charged for data so I turned off data on everything I could find,to avoid this. If I set to allow Mms messages when data is off will this use ny data allowance ?

Hi there @Reinhad. Thanks very much for reaching out to the Bell Community 🙂

Is this a device message popping up on your phone, or a message from us?
MMS messages do not count against your data.

It comes as a pop up.

Thanks for letting us know @Reinhad.

It sounds like your device does allow open protocol for MMS without having to turn on data 🙂

What is Bell's MMS max picture size? i.e. 800kb? 1.2MB? or more?

Hey there @Number Change Fee ,

Great question!

The Bell MMS platform is configured to accept MMS messages up to 2MB from Bell customers.

Note, the max MMS message size, a Bell customer can send, also depends on their mobile phone capabilities and those capabilities are different for different OEMs(original equipment manufacturers).

Let the Community know if you have more questions.
