Charges for sending text messages

P.S. Note the fine print says,

For T-Mobile planes de servicio prepagado, texts from the US to international destinations, excluding Canada and Mexico, have a pay-per-use rate of $0.10/SMS

AFAIK, sending text messages from the US is free to all destinations.* There are a few countries where, while roaming, it may cost something to send a text message (e.g. cruise ships, Cuba)

*Except for old PAYG plans.

You need a balance on prepaid plans for international sms.

It probably explains why when I try to send a text reply to someone from the UK. I get message "Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active." despite having blocking international calls/texts turned off in my account. I have prepaid monthly $40 10GB plan with no prepaid balance. I just switched from Xfinity Mobile which allowed free international texting but needed to switch due to disconnecting my Xfinity cable service (without it they impose $25 line access which makes it financially infeasible).

Thanks! Is MMS included for the same rate as SMS?

It should be since it's counted the same even though it uses a small amount of data.
