A 100MB file transfer over MMS? I’m not saying you’re lying, but recognize that is highly abnormal and most carriers aren’t going to support anything near that high. 100MB would be a huge upgrade for most people over MMS.

I have no idea what carrier this user is with and I agree that sounds absurd. Photos and videos are automatically downgraded before being delivered. The file size limit is typically below 5MB. Videos are like 480p and photos are 720p. I hate sending photos through MMS and would rather use data with a different messaging app if RCS isnt available.

Ah I missed that. Thanks.

In any case, I think this user is confused. See here: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-14641/

The maximum file size for picture/video messages depends upon the device software and device’s network capability. View the signal indicator on your phone to determine which signal is being received:

4G / 4GLTE = 1.2MB image / 3.5MB video

5G / 5G UWB = 1.2MB image / 3.5MB video

Using Verizon Messages = 100MB over Wi-Fi

I think this is where the confusion stemmed from.
