Unhappy [Q] Will MMS work over WiFi?

If I'm on WiFi, will MMS use my data plan or wifi?

MMS goes through your texting plan on AT&T. It doesn't count as data usage.

So it uses no data at all? Then why does it require data to send mms?

You don't need a data plan to send an MMS, but it needs a data connection to send the information because it still routes it over the 3G connection.

Because of the way it routes the MMS as opposed to regular web traffic, they track it and don't bill you for data usage even though it uses the data connection.

That's how it is with AT&T on a locked phone, but I don't know about other carriers or if you are using an unlocked device.

Yea and T-mobile supports wi-fi calling as well and At&t Does not.

Pretty sure it has to be a T-Mobile Device With Wi-Fi calling option in order for that o work...could be wrong though.
