Do I need to turn on SMS or MMS to text?
What exactly is SMS and MMS and can you explain it as simple as possible. I've been finding really complicated answers. Also, I have unlimited texting on the iPhone 4s with Verizon and a 2GB shared data plan. I was wondering if SMS or MMS uses data. As well as my main question, do I need to turn on SMS or MMS to text regularly?
SMS = Texts. Must be turned on to text. No data used.
MMS = Picture message. Uses data.
SMS is known as texting. It consists of any letters or numbers that you type. MMS is texting but includes any images or pictures with the text message.
When you text message (SMS) it doesn't use any data internet plan. So it won't use any of your 2GB. However if you send or receive MMS (picture texting) then yes it does use part of your data internet to receive or send image or pictures with your text message.
SMS - short messaging service, aka a text message
MMS - multimedia messaging service, basically a text, with the option to include pictures/videos
You need have them on to text of course since that is basically what it is.

I might as well just use email.
