MMS messages are, but not SMS, where every message to every recipient is 
an individual message.

Google got that "wrong" on early Android messaging apps, by promoting 
SMS messages to MMS when there were multiple recipients involved, what 
they didn't realise was that there's a USA -> Europe difference where 
MMS messages tend to be expensive while SMS messages are often 
effectively free.
