Simple, but effective ideas "shoot" much more than complex, confusing concepts. This has been known for a long time. Therefore, one should not be surprised that a simple, somewhere even scanty service called SMS has gained such popularity.

But people doing mobile technologies, have already prepared a replacement for the good old SMS. Yes, you guessed it. It's about MMS.

Abbreviation MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. Unlike SMS, with its significant limitations on the size and type of transmitted information, MMS technology allows you to instantly transfer not only text, but also other multimedia content: photos (which you can take in a few seconds using the camera built into the device), music, voice recordings, videos... The list goes on.

According to the description of the MMS standard, there are no strictly defined data formats for transmitted attachments. Moreover, the receiving device must be able to process any type of attachment. Manufacturers are now trying to adhere to the pre-agreed "MMS Agreement" so that in the future there will be no problems with the compatibility of multimedia messages, but it is quite possible that this document will be changed and supplemented.

As already mentioned, there are no official limits on the size of MMS messages sent. However, in reality, each operator cellular communication introduces its own limits on the amount of information sent for a more accurate calculation of the cost of the service provided.

One of the positive properties of multimedia messages is the compatibility already mentioned above. The owner of a Siemens phone can send a picture to his friend's Nokia and be sure that the addressee will receive exactly what was sent.

With the help of MMS, you can exchange almost any information: photos, videos, audio recordings…

Wheels and gears

Even if you do not know if the recipient's device supports MMS, you can still safely send him a message, and it will not be lost, not erased, and the recipient will be able to read the message, even if his phone model is not equipped with an application for working with messages of this type .

The thing is that MMS transmission is controlled by more than one service center, as it was with SMS, and the whole complex. The brain of this system is MMS Relay- message switching server. It receives, processes and forwards all multimedia messages of a particular operator, communicates with MMS centers of other operators, and also allows you to work with MMS not only from the screen mobile phone. Auxiliary components are, first of all, the WAP gateway, which is responsible for the delivery of the multimedia component of the message, the database server, in which messages are stored for some time, as well as the already familiar SMS center, which manages the delivery of reports and service information to subscribers' phones . With such a complex system, the end user has a wide range of options for working with multimedia messages.

  • We can send an MMS from a mobile phone to an e-mail, and the recipient will receive the message as a regular e-mail.
  • With the help of special mail MMS-gates, we can send e-mail, which will be sent to the cell phone as a multimedia message.
  • It doesn't matter what phone model the recipient has: the system will figure out how to display the information. First, the MMS center will send a system SMS with service data to the phone, and only then will it either send a text message with a link to your message (if the device does not support MMS), or connect to the server using WAP and download the message to the phone. By the way, you don't have to worry about traffic - incoming MMS from our operators is free.

Do you want to arrange a meeting of two of your acquaintances or explain to a friend how to get to the place where you are now? Use MMS.

Motivation

The functionality of MMS is much wider than it might even seem at first glance. Conditionally opening before the user opportunities can be divided into four groups.

1. The actual exchange of messages. If you want to convey information that does not want to fit into not only one, but three SMS messages, use a multimedia message.

Note to schoolchildren and students: this thing is great for passing cheat sheets.

Would you like to congratulate someone with a small message, but don't want it to look dull? Attach a nice picture to the MMS, or maybe even voice recording congratulations.

All this will be displayed on the recipient's screen in the form of a Power Point presentation: first the illustration will appear, then the text, and finally the recorded message will sound. Such a virtual one will leave few people indifferent!

Made an appointment at unfamiliar place? Found a street but can't find a house (perhaps because a sign or sign has fallen off)? Ask to send you a picture of the meeting place, and thanks to the picture, you will instantly find the right building.

Or, for example, your friend needs to meet another person, and only you know his face. And in this situation, it's hard to come up with something easier than sending a photo of the right person using MMS.

2. Information services based on MMS. This is a worthy alternative to similar SMS-services, as well as WAP-pages. The most obvious advantage of multimedia messages is the much richer possibilities for designing informational messages. But there is also something else. For example, MMS can be integrated with the subscriber's location system, and then the user, having sent a request with the address he needs, will receive in response a map indicating the best route.

3. Business services. MMS seriously expands the range of services for business people. For example, a subscriber can receive on his device not only the latest exchange reports, but also graphs or diagrams of their changes for an arbitrarily chosen time interval.

4. Entertainment. According to British analysts, more than 70% of MMS messages in the UK contain sports or erotic content. In addition, the operator mobile communications together with third-party content providers can offer its subscribers such services as: MMS chat, MMS games, MMS dating, etc.

Also, do not forget that special server applications are created on the basis of MMS, which contribute to a more convenient and quick access to content. This is a media box MMBox) and multimedia album ( MMS Album).

multimedia box

If a subscriber actively uses MMS services, then sooner or later he will need to store his messages somewhere. Do not keep them all in the phone's memory!

To solve this problem, the operator creates a separate database, which is called a "multimedia box". In this base, the subscriber can store his messages for an arbitrary period of time. In addition, the subscriber can create and send multimedia messages without first downloading the necessary content to the device. To do this, it sends a control message to the MMS center containing information about the recipient and the necessary attachments, which the MMS center automatically picks up from the subscriber's multimedia box. The subscriber can also access his messages via WAP or the Internet.

multimedia album

To fill an MMS message with the necessary content, the operator creates a content base, which is called a "multimedia album". This base is located on separate server and contains audio and video fragments, pictures, logos, which the subscriber can freely download to create MMS.

Workshop

But in the sense of simplicity MMS settings loses SMS a little. Here it will not be enough just to enter the number of the message processing center (which is often already packed into the SIM card).

So, MMS are transmitted via WAP. There are two types of WAP connection:

  • CSD (direct call to the mobile operator's pool; data transfer rate leaves much to be desired);
  • GPRS. In a fair competition, the second option won a long time ago by knockout, so we will not even consider CSD. It's too dark stuff. Below are instructions for three major Moscow GSM operators, while information on others can be found in their sales offices or on their official websites.

"Beeline"

There are two ways to connect GPRS-WAP and MMS (the so-called “Three Services Package”):

1. Call the number 06709181 .

2. Dial a command on the phone *101*181# .

After connecting the “Pack of three services”, the device must be rebooted.

Next, you need to set up the phone itself. Order settings for GPRS-WAP and MMS on the official Beeline website or in the subscriber service. After they come to you with service SMS, save them and reboot your phone to register in the MMS system. Finally send an MMS with any character to the number 000 and wait for a message confirming the final activation of the service.

To disable this package, you must call 067409180 .

MTS

You can activate the GPRS service in the following ways: by coming in person to any of the sales and service offices; directly from a mobile or landline phone through the ACCA system (for this you need to dial the number 08802449 and then press 1 to confirm the addition of the service), or through the CCIS Internet service.

"Megaphone"

This operator has the easiest setup option.

If you use a contract tariff, then the GPRS service is already activated, and users of LITE tariffs just need to dial a special command *105*4*4*2# .

After that, order from the site or through the subscriber service free settings specifically for your phone model, and then activate MMS services using the Service Guide or dial the command *105# and follow the instructions on your phone screen.

It is easiest to find out the prices individually, although we note that in most cases the cost of one multimedia message fluctuates around 20 cents (6-7 rubles).

The maximum volume of MMS is also set mobile operator. Most often, users are allowed to send messages no more than 100 kb, although during some promotions the bar can rise sharply to 512 kb. Another thing is that some mobile devices with MMS support have an internal limit on the size of messages, which for one reason or another is less than that set by the cellular operator. In such cases, either changing the phone's firmware to a more recent one, where this problem may have already been solved, or installing (at your own risk) unofficial patches can come to the rescue.

Articles and Lifehacks

Multimedia messages in cellular networks allow subscribers to exchange photos, videos and music among themselves. However, not every user knows what is the maximum size of an MMS message he can send or receive.

It should be noted that the volume limits, as in the case of , depend on the standard used. In addition, there is a dependence on the specific mobile device and the own restrictions of a particular operator.

How MMS messages work and their maximum size

So, MMS are multimedia messages that support voice recordings, audio, graphics, video, animation, etc. In our mobile device, such messages look like slides. You can also attach audio to them. In addition, we can send various graphic images, video and regular animation. If our device supports MMS, we will also be able to receive multimedia messages from other subscribers.
It is quite convenient to send other users photos that have just been taken using the camera of the mobile device itself, or sounds recorded on the voice recorder. You can add accompanying text to all this.

In fact, MMS are a special kind of messages. The data is transmitted in 2 parts - the information itself, as well as the header.

Messages are stored on the wap server

If a mobile device does not have MMS support, we will only receive an SMS message with a link. It is best to view the sent MMS by entering the sent link into the browser of a computer with Internet access.
So, what is the maximum size of an MMS message? Sometimes limits can be set by the mobile device itself - for example, no more than 100 kilobytes.

Let's also consider the dependence of MMS size on various operators and specific mobile devices.

Maximum MMS message sizes for different operators

Theoretically, the size of such messages is not limited, but in reality everything is different. Most mobile devices released by various companies support sending MMS up to 30 kilobytes, while most operators support up to 300 kilobytes. The last digit corresponds to the size of several photos, or the size of a video no longer than 40 seconds. So, it is worth considering this moment.

Sometimes users change the firmware on their mobile device, which allows them to increase maximum volume MMS, or use special patches, at the risk of harming your phone. Many cellular operators independently set limits on the size of MMS messages. For example, MTS users can send MMS no more than 500 kilobytes.

What is MMS? This question is asked by many mobile users. Despite the fact that now it is far from zero years, this function is still actively used by many mobile phone owners. The reasons for using MMS can be different: poor Internet speed on a smartphone (or its complete absence), an old mobile phone model that does not support modern programs, etc. In this regard, users often ask questions: "How to send MMS?", "How to transfer MMS from phone to computer?" etc. If you are now reading this review, then you are also probably interested in similar issues. Especially for you, we have created a publication that fully covers this topic. We invite you to familiarize yourself with it in order to get comprehensive answers to your questions and finally find out what MMC is!

MMS. What does this word mean?

As many might have guessed, MMS is an English abbreviation. It stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. By the way, the well-known word SMS is also an abbreviation and means Short Messaging Service.

What is MMS and how is it different from SMS?

We figured out the meaning, now let's go directly to the topic of the article. MMS is a multimedia messaging service. This function allows a mobile phone user to send and receive on their device not only text messages (as is the case with SMS), but also graphic images, audio files and video recordings.

While an SMS message is often no larger than a few bytes, an MMS message is typically up to 100 kilobytes. If a person wants to send a video to someone, then the size of the MMS will be much larger. But do not forget that 100 kilobytes is only an approximate parameter. The maximum upload file size is determined by your provider subscription services, and it can be different for each subscriber.

Sending MMS messages

How to send MMS? Another question that is of great interest to many mobile subscribers. In fact, sending MMS messages is a very simple procedure that does not take much time. A mobile phone user just needs to go to the "Messages" item on his gadget, select the MMS section, write a text (if necessary), attach a picture / song / video, select the person to whom he wants to send it, and then click " Send".

It is worth saying that in order to use this function, it is necessary that the mobile device supports it and is properly configured.

The answer to this question will be even shorter than the previous one. To view the contents of an MMS message that was sent to you, you need to go to the previously mentioned "Messages" item, then go to the "Inbox" section and select the MMS you need from the list. Now you know how to watch MMS. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this. Got it? We move on.

MMS to MTS

"How does MMS work on MTS?" is another popular question among users. Well, let's try to answer it.

Like other subscriber service providers, MTS allows its users to send MMS messages to other mobile phones, tablets and email addresses.

Sending one MMS will cost the subscriber 9.9 rubles (for residents Russian Federation). There is no charge for receiving incoming MMS.

MMS exchange is possible with MTS users, as well as with subscribers of other operators on the territory of the Russian Federation and other states.

Sending MMS is possible only if the "Mobile Internet" function is available.

When sending a multimedia message outside the Russian Federation, traffic charges will be charged according to the roaming tariff. MMS delivery time to MTS is 72 hours. The size of one MMS in the MTS system is 500 kilobytes. Messages to numbers of other operators - 300 kilobytes.

How to manually set up MMS on a smartphone or tablet?

Setting up MMS on the device will go like clockwork if you follow the following rules:

  1. iPhone OS: Settings - Cellular - Cellular network data transmission.
  2. Android: Settings - Wireless networks- Mobile network - Access points (APN).
  3. WP: Settings - Data transfer - Add an Internet access point.

Print the following information:

  1. Default APN settings: mms Username/Username/Login:gdata or leave blank.
  2. Password/Password/Pass:gdata or leave blank.
  3. APN type: mmsMMSC (address home page): http://mmsc:8002.
  4. Proxy server MMS (IP address): 10.10.10.10.
  5. Port proxy: 8080.
  6. MCC: 250.
  7. MNC: 0.

To access the Internet, enable data transfer:

  1. iOS: Settings - Cellular - Voice & Data - 2G/3G/LTE.
  2. Android: Settings - Wireless networks - Mobile network.
  3. WP: Settings - Data transfer.

As you can see, there is nothing supernatural in setting up MMC. Follow the tips above and you'll be fine!

Sending MMS from PC to mobile phone

Many users of the World Wide Web want to know how to send SMS or MMS from a computer to a phone. Surely someone will think that only some experienced hacker can do this, but not the average network user. In fact, almost everyone can send MMS from a computer. Moreover, it can be done absolutely free! The only thing that is required from the user is access to the Internet and the ISendSMS program, which allows you to send SMS and MMS from a PC to a mobile phone.

This program can be downloaded from the official website of the developers. With its help, you can send both text and multimedia messages to phones of different operators from the CIS. Although easy to use, it has two disadvantages:

  1. When receiving a message, the recipient will not display your phone number, which means that he may not know who sent him SMS / MMS.
  2. This program does not work on all mobile operators. Some providers mobile services have a good security system, which is why the user will not always be able to send a message to the number he needs.

How to send MMS online?

If you do not trust this program and simply do not want to download anything from the Internet, then we can offer you an alternative, namely sending messages online. In the open spaces world wide web there are many services that allow you to send SMS and MMS through a browser without downloading any additional applications. But there were some drawbacks here: such sites may be unsafe for your personal computer, and therefore we recommend that you once again not take risks and do not use the services of suspicious Internet portals of this type.

But do not despair! Some mobile operators (for example, the previously mentioned MTS) allow you to send letters directly from their official website. This does not take much time, and the security of such a procedure is guaranteed by the mobile service provider itself. But such a system also has its drawbacks: firstly, the user is given strictly limited quantity messages that he can send; secondly, he can only send text messages, which means that he will not be able to transfer MMS from a computer in this way; thirdly, a person can send messages only to the numbers of this mobile operator.

As you can see, all the proposed options have both their advantages and serious disadvantages. You can try each method yourself and choose the one that suits you best.

MMS and viruses

Not so long ago, all owners of the Android system were stirred up by unpleasant news: the Stagefright MMS virus was actively spreading on the network, which penetrated smartphones, thereby giving hackers full control over these devices. On the this moment the hype about this has subsided a little, but do not forget that the danger of "infection" of the phone is almost always present. Every day, computer hackers create dangerous viruses through which they can gain access to all your personal data.

But for now, let's focus specifically on the Stagefright virus. It works according to the following principle: on the phone Android user an MMS arrives, "infecting" the operating system with a virus, which starts automatically sending the same message to numbers from your phone book. The worst thing is that even deleting a suspicious message will not help the user in any way. The fact is that on all Androids, the Hangouts program is installed by default, which automatically processes all received SMS and MMS messages without the knowledge of the owner. Hence the question is brewing: how to remove MMS with a virus without harming your mobile phone? Can it be done at all? Well, let's figure it out.

In fact, the easiest and surest way to protect yourself is to replace the Hangouts program with another text messenger. There are two ways to change the default application for receiving and sending messages:

  1. It is carried out through the smartphone settings: "Settings - Wireless networks - More - Applications for exchanging SMS". It is worth adding that the different smartphones such an algorithm may differ, but its essence always remains the same, namely: to find a program for sending and receiving text and multimedia messages.
  2. It is carried out directly in the Hangouts application: "Settings - SMS - SMS exchange is enabled."

If you have Hangouts automatically installed in the list of programs for exchanging SMS and MMS messages, then go to any other application that is present in this list. In the event that, apart from Hangouts, you have nothing else, you will have to find and download an alternative to this messenger yourself. It is best to download applications from trusted directories ( Google Play, for example) to avoid "infecting" the phone with malware software. If you are already used to Hangouts and do not want to bother once again, then you can simply turn off the automatic reception of messages.

Other meanings

Some people may be surprised, but the abbreviation MMS is very common and has many different meanings. Now we will share with you other interpretations of this word:

  1. MMS (Multimission Modular Spacecraft) is a multipurpose modular satellite.
  2. MMC is a wet self-grinding mill.
  3. MMS - mechanized escort bridge.
  4. MMC - motorized connection.
  5. MMS - soft magnetic alloys.
  6. MMC - intermunicipal court.
  7. MMS - modeling of mental abilities.
  8. MMS is a settlement in the Medvezhyegorsk region of Karelia.
  9. IMC - International Mathematical Union. A worldwide organization created for the cooperation of scientists working in the field of mathematics.
  10. MMC - International Music Council. Organization attached to UNESCO, established in Paris in 1949. It consists of 16 international musical organizations and musical committees from more than 60 countries.

Now you know what MMS is. We hope that the information presented in the article fully helped you find answers to the questions that interested you the most.

Benefits of MMS

mms on android

FROM operating system Android in most cases support data transfer using MMS. Just need to set it up. You can change the configuration on android using auto tuning, you can immediately contact your mobile operator, set it up manually or order settings on the operator’s website.

Automatic MMS setting

This method very convenient, because the technique will do everything itself instead of the user. The probability of making a mistake or harming a mobile device tends to zero. The only downside is to use automatic configuration is possible only once (at the first registration in the network of a mobile operator). How to set up MMS automatically:

  1. Install a SIM card.
  2. Launch your mobile device and enter a pin code if required.
  3. Receive settings in the form of SMS messages from a mobile operator.
  4. Run the configuration and wait for the installation to complete.
  5. Now you can read sent messages.

Asking for help from the operator

Unlike the previous method, you can ask for help from the operator an unlimited number of times. But here the user will have to follow the instructions clearly in order to achieve positive result. Each operator mobile network have your own free number technical support. You need to ask to send MMS settings to mobile phone number:

  • MTS - 0890;
  • Megafon - 0550;
  • Motive - 111;
  • Beeline - 0611.

After ordering the settings, you must accept them, and then restart the device in order to start using and sending messages. It happens that the service does not connect the first time and requires additional activation. In this case, you need to call again technical support and ask to enable the service for this number cell phone. After all the manipulations, graphic messages will be activated.

Setting MMS manually

If it is impossible to get through to the operator, and the MMS service is needed any minute, then you will have to install it on your own. Instruction:

The next steps depend on the operator. Only some columns are the same for users of Beeline, Megafon, MTS, Tele 2, Motive. These are the “access point type” - mms and the “MMS port” - 8080 (there is an alternative code 9201 for MTS and Tele 2 subscribers). An example of settings for the Beeline mobile operator.
