MMS


The Multimedia message service is the protocol used to send multimedia objects from mobile phones directly to another. Media such as pictures, videos and sound clips can be sent via this protocol.

The MMS feature doesnt not send the multimedia directly to the receiving phone, it actually sends as an SMS (push notification) and is then directed to a URL that the receiver must retrieve to view the contents of the MMS.

To send an mms the protocol initiates a GPRS Protocol and then is stored in a internet cloud which is later received by the other mobile device.
