What is MMS?
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a new standard in mobile messaging. Like SMS (Short Messaging Service), MMS is a way to send a message from one mobile to another. The difference is that MMS can include not just text, but also sound, images and video. It is also possible to send MMS messages from a mobile phone to an email address. Formats that can be embedded within MMS include: • Text (formatted with fonts, colours, etc) • Images (JPEG, GIF format) • Audio (MP3, MIDI) • Video (MPEG) Images could be downloaded from WAP sites, selected from a menu within the phone, or could even be photos taken using a built-in camera if the phone has one (e.g. the Nokia 7650, Sony Ericsson T300, etc). MMS is an extension of the SMS protocol, making its usage familiar to existing SMS users. An MMS message is a single entity, not a collection of attachments. One of the main practical differences between MMS and SMS is that whilst SMS messages are limited to 160 bytes, an MMS message has no size lim
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is an upgraded version of the SMS (Short Messaging Service) through which you can send and receive multimedia messages such as texts, pictures, video clips, audio clips, etc., with any other compatible cell phone. It’s an advanced messaging service that lets users send multiple media in one single message to one or more recipients.
