What is MMS?
MMS is abbreviation for Multimedia Messaging Service. This standard is an extension of SMS, and stands for a for sending messages that include multimedia objects (images, audio, video). An MMS message is a single entity, not a collection of attachments, and could be many Kbytes in size. MMS requires a third generation (3G) network to enable such large messages to be delivered. AT&T will begin support of MMS on their network starting on September 25, 2009. Multimedia content created by one brand of phone may not be entirely compatible with the capabilities of the recipients’ phone that could create additional challenge in mass adoption of protocol. Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS will support MMS.
