@RossNYou do need data on to use picture/video texting, but it will not use any data from your plan. If you look in your account history mms texts will show up as using data, but it is subtracted from your actual data usage.
I know this was just a typo, but @RossN, your 250MB does not get used for sending or receiving MMS.

Just checked my iphone.
Go to your itunes & App stores section
There is one line Use Cellular Data. Turn that off (for updates).

yes I was thinking that may happen so what would the fix be on an iphone is there a setting you know off to stop updates unless on wifi?

Yes, any data use will use the 250 MB first, then use the data add on afterwards if needed.

thanks for the info also I already have have a data add on, I am assuming if I switch to this plan it will use the 250 first?

Therein lies the tricky part of the 250mb. You need to be sure of what all apps want to update and if they will only update on wifi. Same with the OS.
You turn on data to allow the MMS to work and your phone sucks down a bunch of updates using up your bucket.
