MMS Picture Messaging Information

Here is some general information and advice on MMS Picture Messaging, and how it works.

What is MMS?
MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service and is commonly referred to as ‘Picture Messaging’ to wireless users. MMS is similar to Text Messaging (SMS) but adds animation, images, sound and video.

What can you do with MMS?
Some uses included:
* Take digital photographs and store photographs on the Internet
* Send and receive full color pictures
* Send and receive voice clips
* Add a text message to your picture
* Purchase pictures and sounds from the Internet
* Have enhanced polyphonic ringtones

In order for MMS to work on your phone, you need to have ‘Media Messaging’ enabled on your plan. You will also need a phone or device that supports the MMS service. Today’s cell phones and smartphones (including the Blackberry, Android, Palm Pre and iPhone) are usually MMS-enabled. On most carriers, if you are sent an MMS message and don’t have a suitable handset  or plan, you’ll receive a SMS to notify you with a link to a web page.
