We can see we have the size of the multimedia message as well at the bottom
.
It says, 29KB out of a possible 300KB. 300 KB is the limit and right now we are using just slightly under 10% of that or 1/10. That is the total amount of space we can have for sending multimedia messages.

Once we have done that, we will press the icon that is a blue speech box with three blue lines in it, and it says "Slot 1" because that is where our SIM card is located
