    No need to do any of that.  As explained by others , if you want to send images in messaging in some lebara plans you have to top up on the lebara app and then can send images in messaging.
    Some , like me , didn't realize this untill we try sending an image in messages. That's all. Now we know how. 
    All of the options including whatsapp etc are there of course , but having all options available to send images is useful to suit all sorts of situations.

    Is there any provider that does not charge extra for photos in messaging?

    I think that only applies to RCS messaging and if you are using that you may as well use WhatsApp or similar.

    The websites for both are specific in their mentions of unlimited free MMS so don't think this is so. Don't have either SIM to check however.
