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 message.
