About MMS messages

With an MMS phone number, you can send and receive MMS messages that contain media files such as .jpg, .gif, .wbmp, .midi, .vcf (vCard®), .ics (iCalendar), .avi, .mpg, or .mov files. An MMS phone number is a phone number that your wireless service provider sets up for MMS messaging. If you have more than one phone number associated with your BlackBerry® device, your device sends MMS messages using the first phone number that appears in the drop-down list at the top of the Phone screen in the phone application.
