I mean, I have the same problem on Android talking to android friends who don't use an rcs-coompatible messaging app. Which is more rare than it used to be, but still.

Again, that's the carrier limitation at that point.

If you were both on Verizon, which doesn't seem to have an MMS limitation, this wouldn't happen.

Which exposes that Android can do it, when the network allows it, while iPhone never can.

What? iPhone can do it. If the network allows it. Same as Android.

Also. Verizon has severe MMS limits. Which are less severe if you're using their proprietary app.
