In contrast to SMS, the MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) enables the transmission of multimedia messages to other mobile end devices. Thereby, a multimedia message (MM) maybe composed of any number of attachments of any type (for example, texts, images, videos).
Due to relatively high costs of the mobile network operator, MMS has not been able to achieve a breakthrough until now. As things stand now, it will probably be ousted by the email, which is increasingly finding its way into mobile phone devices.
