Text Message

Short message service (SMS) allows you to send and receive a short text message to and from other phones.

Multimedia Message

Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging service similar to Short Message Service (SMS). It provides asynchronous delivery of personal multimedia messages.

In addition to the familiar text content of text messages, multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, video, and/or sound.

An MMS message is a separate multimedia presentation in a single entry, not an attachment to the text file.

Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive a multimedia message and/or send a picture message, depending on MMS availability from your service provider. Only phones that support the multimedia message feature can receive or display the multimedia messages.
