MMS

Multimedia Message Service (MMS (opens in a new tab)) is a channel that was built with the introduction of SMS messaging to offer additional functionality to send multimedia messages, rather than just text.

MMS is most commonly used to send images with text, however, it also supports other media types in the same way as modern chat apps, for example, video, audio, contacts, and so on.

MMS requires only a cellular connection with a mobile operator to deliver messages. This is an optimal way of ensuring that messages are delivered to those without data or internet connectivity.

MMS file size limits depend on carriers and the device, however, all operators reliably deliver MMS messages of up to 300 KB of data as a standard.
