Picture messages are MMS not standard SMS texts and are charged extra.

Media messages are not included in your tariff @Morag-Munto 

Photos are best sent using email, Whatsapp or Messanger as they will then be free.

@Morag-Munto Photos sent by text are classified as MMS and sent using data, which is chargeable.
