MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service, a new standard in mobile messaging. Like SMS it is a way to send messages from one mobile to another, however it differs from SMS due to the fact that it can send, sound, images and videos as well as the standard text. It also allows SMS from mobiles be sent to email addresses.
Formats that can be embedded within MMS include:
- Text (formatted with fonts, colours, etc)
- Images (JPEG, GIF format)
- Audio (MP3, MIDI)
- Video (MPEG)
MMS is an extension to the SMS protocol so it’s pretty easy to use if you are familiar with SMS technology. One of the main differences between MMS and SMS is that while SMS messages are limited to 160 bytes, an MMS message has no limit and can be many Kbytes in size.
A great catchy title and a good read. Well done.
