    If you go into Settings>Messages on your iPhone 4s you should see an option to toggle MMS Messaging On/Off 'under SMS/MMS'.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    and even then you have no indication of successful delivery.
    SMS delivery reports have been available as an option in the settings of most phones since 2G was introduced.

    Orange used to charge a fraction of a penny for each one, but I don't think that's common now. I've always found it useful to have confirmation of an SMS delivery, or not.

    Thank You Dolly, Any iPhone users out there who could try this please?

    Hi, for iPhone user. Unlike iMessage, the long messages you can send on your iPhone are regulated by your carrier and have 160 characters as limit. :)

    Mine receives 140 characters.... it annoys me to receive a text that arrives in 2-3 separate texts as I have to open each one and read each one to get to the point. It could've fitted in 140 characters most of the time.... if you can't say it in 140 characters, why not phone me on my landline? If I'm in you can talk to me.
