I have received many MMS in the past sent by commercial companies. And I
have sent some, but the cost is prohibitive, something like 0.60€. My
ISP certainly allows them, I just checked, without actually sending one.

Due to lower cost and improved functionality provided by modern
internet-based instant messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and
Signal, MMS usage has declined,[15] and it has been discontinued by
several telcos since the early 2020s. Countries with operators that have
discontinued MMS include: India (BSNL; from 1 November 2015),[16]
Philippines (Sun Cellular, Smart Communications, TNT; from 28 September
2018),[17] Singapore (Singtel, M1, Starhub; from 16 November 2021),[18]
Kazakhstan (Kcell; from 6 May 2022),[19] Switzerland (Swisscom, Salt
Mobile; from 10 January 2023),[20][21] Germany (Vodafone; from 17
January 2023).[22]
That's not every country.
