MMS, it's a fact.

MMS means Multi - media Messaging Service, this is different from SMS messaging which I have posted about previously because it can allow the user to send not just text in the message but also other items such as pictures, videos and sounds.

There are a good number of formats a sender can use for MMS.
Some formats include :
Text (Colour, type of text and size can be changed.)
Images (JPEG, GIF)
Video (MPEG)
Audio (MP3, MIDI)

Generally MMS messaging is used for mobile phones but it is also possible to send MMS to email addresses from a phone. Essentially MMS is just an advancement of the SMS protocol, so is roughly simular to use and reliable.
The first MMS capible phones were introduced in 2002 and it has continued to grow to be on many phones today. Although some companies such as Sony Ericson introduced EMS to their new phones, which has some features of MMS but is just an advanced version of SMS in simple terms.

SMS, what is it?

'SMS' is a shortened term used for short messaging service. Short pieces of text than can be sent from one mobile phone to others in an instant. It is so widely used today, we all text as it is so easy and simple to do, also many of the abbriviations we use are because of it! We can keep in touch with everyone at our fingertips.

Tex messages are now to be considered lower and older technology as it has been around for a while whereas mulimedia messaging (Sending of text, images and videos.) Is now more advanced but SMS is where it all began. I can't imagine a mobile phone these days without SMS!
