MMS messageMMS message refers to a multimedia message, which contains text, audio, video various other multimedia content sent via mobile phones in the mobile telephone network. MMS message extends the capacity of SMS sending, which is limited only to text messages up to 160 or 70 characters in length. A maximum 300KB extension can be transferred in an MMS message. Because of their extended content, MMS messages are sent differently from SMS messages. The sending device first encodes the message, then it forwards to an MMS Centre (MMSC). The MMSC informs the recipient device of the message. The recipient device downloads the content from the MMSC and displays the content. Some mobile devices are unable to display MMS content, because their screens can only show texts. If the recipient device is incapable of showing the message, the MMSC sends a text message including the URL (the address of web pages) where the MMS message can be opened and viewed. MMS message is compatible to be sent from different media. Besides GSM mobile phones, MMS services enable specialized MMS Gateways to transfer MMS. Enterprises use automated MMS sending by installing an MMS Gateway software into their systems. Such software is Ozeki NG SMS Gateway, which is suitable for sending both SMS and MMS contents. MMS Gateways set up a GPRS link and download the MMS messages from the MMSC. As the download occurs a unique message ID is assigned to the message. It is important to know that incoming MMS messages are made up from individual files, such as JPG and GIF pictures, WAV files and TXT content. They are the attachments of the messages with ID and saved to the same download directory as the messages. Entering the inbox the message ID with the attachment list are displayed and can be found in the download directory. MMS messages can also be received by subscribing for MMS services. The subscriber sends a code to a preset phone number and receives the MMS with the content. MMS messages can contain ringtones, wallpapers, pictures, photos, videos or music. After saving them to the GSM device, the usage of the MMS content becomes possible. Visuals can be set as background pictures and files that with videos and music can be used as ringtones. MMS messages can offer unlimited ways of communication, self expression and information mediation. MMS messages are useful tools for commerce and business as they demonstrate the content more explicitly and leaves no gaps in content. Visuals and audios help to underline the meaning of a simple text message, which would otherwise arouse no interest. To get more information, please visit the following websites: |
