a question about messenger apps

hi!

id just like to ask, do all messenger apps in the WP store also require the recipient (the person youre sending messages to) to have/install that "same" app youre using for him/her to receive videos/photos or multimedia?

follow up question - is there a free WP app that doesnt require my recipient to install that app im using for her/him to receive my multimedia messages?

thanks!

Re: a question about messenger apps

Aside from using MMS (Multimedia Messaging) which is part of all phones but typically costs more to send. Most messaging apps require both people to have the app.

There are some apps like this one - TextMe | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United Kingdom)

I can't vouch for the quality or the safety of using this app though.
