Information on MMS
The GSM MMS (multimedia messaging service) allows users to
send and receive messages containing multimedia content (including images, video,
audio and text). Applications include personal messaging and delivery of
paid content. The ability to deliver efficiently paid content is
seen as an important step in allowing companies other than
GSM network operators to make money out of the service.
The
Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC) is at the heart of
the MMS (multimedia messaging service) , providing the switching
and network storage required.
The concept of the GSM MMS
(multimedia messaging service) is an extension of the GSM SMS
(short message service), which supports only text messaging.
