MMS messagesMMS messages are multimedia contents managed by Multimedia Messaging Service. They enable the sending of visuals and audios besides text messages to mobile phones through the mobile network. MMS messages broaden the way of information exchange. MMS messages create new channels to the mobile using community by extending the length of messages. As opposed to an SMS text message the sender can create a maximum 300KB large MMS message. This way more illustrious and richer texts can be transferred to mobile devices making messaging more creative and popular. MMS messages extend the limits of information transfer. But because of their extended length, there are differences between MMS and SMS sending. When they are sent the MMS messages are needed to be encoded by the sending device first then it forwards the content to an MMS Centre (MMSC). The MMSC informs the recipient device of the message and the recipient device downloads the content from the WAP. Finally it displays the content on the screen. If the recipient device is not able to display the message, the MMSC sends a text message including the URL (the address of web pages). The recipient has to connect to the Internet logs in to the web page given and views the multimedia content. MMS messages are developing to be compatible with many devices of communication. Besides mobile handsets, MMS services through specialized MMS Gateways are constructed to transfer MMS. MMS Gateways set up a GPRS link and download the MMS messages from the MMSC. As the download finishes 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 visual files, WAV audio files and TXT text content. They are the attachments ID given messages and are saved to the identical download directory as the messages. When the recipient enters the inbox the message ID and the attachment list are displayed and can be viewed in the download directory. MMS messages can also be received if a subscriber applies for an MMS service. The subscriber sends a code to a preset phone number and automatically receives the MMS with the wished content. MMS messages can contain visuals such as wallpapers, pictures, photos, or audios ringtones or music with audiovisuals like videos. Ringtones and wallpapers are especially popular as they can be stored for further usage on the mobile handsets. All the user has to do is to save the MMS content. Visuals are suitable for background settings while videos and music can be used as ringtones. MMS messages increase the functionality of mobile communication as it combines creativity with textual expressions. MMS messages provide potentials for mobile marketing and business as they illustrate products and services with visuals and audios. They affect the auditory and visual senses more than a simple text message. They also underline text messages as well to catch and increase attention.
