Over MMS? Without quality loss? To someone not on the same network?

No way was Verizon allowing 10MB videos over MMS in 2006. They don't today. And that was the really early days of MMS when you were lucky if anything got delivered.

    As I said, on Verizon. May have forgotten to say to other Verizon phones.

    And yes, they did, and the do. I can send 50mb videos over MMS to Verizon iPhones. I've done it. Last time was last year as another test.

    Verizon doesn't seem to have an MMS limit.

    But keep on gaslighting me and telling me I didn't perform this test between a Verizon iPhone and a Verizon Android that I control.

    The iPhone receives the video just fine. You can even see the size of the video. But when it sends it back, iOS butchers the quality.

    It's not gaslighting to be skeptical. There's way way too much misinformation, guesswork, misinterpretation, etc happening in this thread . Yeah, I'm real skeptical. I even sent you links from Verizon about their limits that you've ignored. That's not "gaslighting".

    Verizon says they currently supports 100MB MMS if you're using their proprietary app. What are you using? And you're not using RCS for this "unlimited" Verizon->Verizon texting you've done recently (since you're saying today they support unlimited)? That also seems weird.

    I can also send a 50MB file over ATT MMS. It doesn't arrive 50MB.
