Does texting and/or sending photos via text use up my data allowance?

I am just trying to confirm this for a friend---that texting and sending photos via text does not use up my data allowance. Can anyone confirm this for me?

After thinking about this a bit more, we would need to know HOW you text and send photos.
Sending SMS/MMS text/photos DOES NOT use up your data allowance. This is what I assumed when you simply said "texting and sending photos via text".
After thinking further, SMS/MMS is not the only way people "text and send photos via text. For example, iPhones can use iMessage and THOSE messages would use up your data allowance for actual messages sent via iMessage to/from other iPhones.
Other apps have their own texting capabilities which will ALSO use up your data allowance. Examples would be Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Instagram, Tango, etc...
If you are simply sending via SMS/MMS, then no you are not using up your data allowance. If you are utilizing some other method, then the answer could very well be yes.

How can I send photos via email using play memories online

Hi...I'm unable to email my photos...can anyone help me please. I log on, drag my photos over click on upload...and it goes south from there

Hi shooter_24,
The PlayMemories Home software is synced with the Microsoft Outlook Email server. Web mail servers such as Yahoo, Google, etc. cannot be used with the program. If you're using one of these, we suggest uploading the photos outside PMH. You can do so by opening the folder containing your files.
NOTE: My Pictures is set as the default folder for imported files.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

No phone can send photos via SMS. You would need MMS (or iMessage or a 3rd party app such as WhatsApp). SMS messages are limited to 160 characters of text only.

Restrict receiving and sending photos via texting

Is there a way or an app that will restrict the ability to receive and send photos via texting?

You are able to receive and send an MMS with MMS Messaging turned off at Settings > Messages?

IPhone 4 IOS 7 - unable to send photos via text

I have been unable to send photos via text since updating to IOS7. All of my settings are up to date and this problem occurs on wifi, 3G and makes no difference if I send the photo via message first or from my camera. I have read all the troubleshooting guides and nothing has provided a permanent solution. Resetting the network seems to work for a limited time before the photos come up with the same "not delivered" icon again.
Does anyone know why the reset would work and then stop working if I haven't switched my phone off?
Thanks

You may have to backup and restore through iTunes. Have you contacted your carrier about this since this feature is carrier-provided?

Treo 700wx: Sending photos via Text Message

Spoke with Sprint people and I was told my phone doesn't have the capability to send photos via text.
Does anyone know of a workaround to allow me to send photos from thumbnail photos?

Go to the thumbnail window and take your stylus and hold down the picture and you should see some options.

Droid Charge - 3rd one, same problem with sending photos via text (MMS)

Sending photos via text messaging (stock messaging client) does not work consistently.
In a 4G area, the texts go through fine with minimal errors (perhaps 1 out of 20 failures to send)
In a 3G or less, the texts give me an error message of "Failed" or pending, whether or not the recipient gets it (usually the recipient does not get the message) - this is true of recipients with AT&T, Sprint and Verizon service with smartphones and Blackberries.
If I do not delete the thread, I get the message "Too many unsent multimedia messages" and the phone will not initiate the send. The phone will, however, continue to try to sending the photo, causing very rapid battery drain.
The last phone was replaced because the phone was not closing out the message, according to the last technician to whom I spoke.
Is there something else I can do to get the full functionality of the phone I paid for? This is an extremely frustrating issue, and makes me regret switching to Verizon.

Hi moonchef!
Sending pictures is something I do on a daily basis, so I know how important this is! It is true that pictures have to be sent over the VZW network and not Wifi. I would like to ask you if you resent the same picture that failed? Or did you send the same picture again, but in a separate message? Please try sending it again separately and let me know the results. Thanks!

Send photos via text

Is it possible to send photos via text message instead of email?

No. This is called MMS and is not a function of the iphone.
E-mail works as you can send and receive pictures to and from your iphone, to and from other peoples cell phones.

I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

Thanks for your replay,
Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨ but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
any way, this new version is ok..
thenks a lot

Unable to send photo via iMessage

Hi Guys,
I am having some issues sending photos via iMessage between my fathers iPhone 5s and my iPhone 6.
my fathers iPhone 5s can send me photos but when I try and send him a photo it fails with "not delivered", however sending normal text iMessage between the two phones works fine.
and another weird thing I can send photos to other people's iPhone's ????
so is the issue with my iPhone 6 or his iPhone 5s ?

Hi jake85au,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are experiencing an issue where you cannot send MMS from the Messages application to your father’s iPhone 5s only. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,
Joe

I updated to ios 6.0 - now I cannot send photos via messaging, although text will send - how to solve this?

Make sure MMS is enabled.
Contact your carrier to make sure MMS is provisioned on your account.

I have lost ability in the share module to send photos via e-mail from my catalogue to selected addresses

I have lost the ability in the share module to send photos via e-mail to selecred addresses. I have checked my settings and everything seems in order but still does not work, can I just reinstall elements 10 over my original elements 10 to repair

Hi Bob,
If you are using Windows Live Mail (WLM) 2011 then I think you may need the fix mentioned in this document to enable WLM in the Elements sharing preferences.

If you want,m you can update to Windows Live Mail 2012 from here
Windows Essentials - Download Windows Live Essentials
When you try to send an image using Photomail, how far do you get and what happens?
Brian
Edit: The fix mentioned in the first reference above seems to have dropped out of the system. It is probably best to go for the 2012 version which doesn't need the fix.
