Depends on your PoV. For me, the size is only one aspect, and not even the most important one:
  • SMS, IM - short; phone, email, MMS - long
  • SMS, MMS, IM, phone - receive instantly; email - receive as and when
  • IM, phone - respond immediately; SMS, MMS email - respond at your leisure (or not at all)
  • SMS, MMS, email - content saved for future reference; IM - content kept but out of my control (depends on which IM service of course); phone - content lost unless call recording in place
  • Phone - voice only; SMS, IM - text only; MMS, email - multimedia content
  • Phone, SMS, MMS - free to receive; IM, email - may cost money to receive depending on your contract and location (3G or WiFi etc)
  • Phone - expensive to make; SMS - free to send; MMS - costs money to send; IM, email - cost to send depends on plan and location

No two tick all the boxes in one group and none in the other so for me, the are all different. And that's even before we start talking about the logical separation, such as for different email accounts
