Sending messages overseas As a Telstra mobile customer, you can send texts, picture and video messages (MMS) to friends and family overseas on selected international phone companies' networks and also receive messages from them. 

You can also send a picture or video message to any email address worldwide.

If you can send within Australia then you can send overseas. Just make sure your friends and family have MMS working on their phone and that their carrier and country are participating.

International picture and video messages have a size limit of 300 kilobytes per message. If you try to send a larger message it may not be delivered. If the recipient isn't with a participating carrier, they may receive a text message directing them to a website to view your MMS.

Pricing

The cost of a 160-character text message originating in Australia and sent to an international number is 50c (incl GST). All international picture and video messages (MMS) are charged at a flat rate of 75c (incl GST) per message, per recipient.

If you're travelling overseas and want to send and receive pictures and videos, please see details on International Roaming. If you're set-up to make international calls while overseas you can still send to friends and family in Australia and to overseas destinations if their carrier and country are participating.
