Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
Also known as “Picture Messaging”, MMS allows users to create and messages combining text, sound and graphics. You can send and receive images, voice clips, music, greeting cards and more…even if your Next Generation phone does not have a camera embedded in it. It should be noted, however, that both the sender and the receiver must have a Next Generation phone which is MMS capable.
There is a $.20 per message charge for each message sent. The data (kilobytes) used to transfer of the MMS file will also be deducted from the data in your monthly Wireless Internet plan. (If not a Wireless Internet subscriber, the sender will be charged $0.03 per kilobyte for the data transfer.) When receiving an MMS message, the recipient pays nothing; however, the data (kilobytes) used to transfer the file will be deducted from the recipient’s monthly Wireless Internet data plan balance.
Sending/Receiving MMS Messages
There are 3 ways to send an MMS message: between phones, PC to phone, and phone to PC.
Note! To send MMS message between phones, both the sender and the receiver must have a Next Generation phone. If the sender has a Next Generation phone and the receiver does not, the receiver will receive a text (SMS) message with a unique URL (web address) that can be accessed via PC to view the content.
