Things you need to know
- International picture and video messages have a size limit of 300 kilobytes per message. If you try to send a message over this limit it may not be delivered.
- You do not have to do anything special to your phone or service number to use international MMS. If you can send within Australia then you can send overseas.
- Check with friends and family overseas to ensure they have MMS working on their mobile.
- Also ensure their carrier and country is listed on the Telstra International Mobile Destinations list.
- Travelling overseas and still want to be able to send and receive your pictures and videos? Find out more from the international roaming site. If you are set-up so you can make international calls whilst overseas you can still send to friends and family within Australia and also to overseas destinations providing they are on the Telstra International Mobile Destinations list.
- Don't forget that you can also send MMS to any email address worldwide too.
- If the recipient isn't with a participating phone company, they may receive a text message directing them to a website to see your MMS.
