Picture Messages
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging
service very similar to Short Message Service
(SMS). It provides automatic and immediate
delivery of personal multimedia messages from
phone to phone or from phone to e-mail.
In addition to the familiar text content of text
messages, multimedia messages can contain
images, graphics, voice and audio clips. An MMS
message is a multimedia presentation in a single
entry. It is not a text file with attachments.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive
multimedia messages. You can also send picture
messages, which are short messages that contain
images, such as your photos or graphics you
downloaded from the Internet. This function is
available only if it is supported by your service
provider. Only phones that offer picture message
features can receive and display picture messages.
