Pretty sure MMS do not count towards data usage. Even if they did with 4gb/ month I doubt they would be a significant factor.

You can send MMS pictures messages and they are included with the plan. The data connection is used to send them, but it should not count against your plan's data alottment.

If you do send pictures through an internet messaging applications (such as Facebook Messager, Viber, Whatsapp, etc), it will count as data usage.
