MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) Question:
What is MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)?
Answer:
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a new standard in mobile messaging. Like SMS (Short Messaging Service), MMS is a way to send a message from one mobile to another. The difference is that MMS can include not just text, but also sound, images and video. It is also possible to send MMS messages from a mobile phone to an email address.
Formats that can be embedded within MMS include:
► Text (formatted with fonts, colours, etc)
► Images (JPEG, GIF format)
► Audio (MP3, MIDI)
► Video (MPEG)
Images could be downloaded from WAP sites, selected from a menu within the phone, or could even be photos taken using a built-in camera if the phone has one (e.g. the Nokia 7650, Sony Ericsson T300, etc).
