I’ve been using my phone on a pay as you go basis for over twenty years apart from a brief moment on a rolling thirty day contract in the mid-noughties. Am now considering going on a contract, partly because I need to send my sister photos without using Whatsapp or Facebook (that’s my anti-Zuckerberg moratorium). I blithely assumed that sending MMSes would come out of data allowance. But I notice in my current network's small print for contracts (more of a recurring bundle really) that MMSes are still charged separately. Is that normal with phone contracts??

*I’ve tried emailing photos but it’s not doing it for me.
