General information about voice calls and text messages

Are incoming voice calls and text messages deducted from my voice and text allowance?

If you are on a standalone voice plan no data included), incoming text messages aren’t deducted from your plan allowance. Incoming call time is deducted from your plan allowance.
Our LTE smartphone plans include unlimited local callings and text messages so you can talk and text to your heart’s delight.

Are text messages data?

Contrary to popular belief, text messages have nothing to do with data. Think of them as a call but with a written message instead.

Can I send a picture via text message?

Unfortunately not. One’s network doesn’t support picture messaging aka MMS.
