Techopedia Explains Multimedia Messaging Service
MMS allows mobile subscribers to send multimedia files such as images, videos, audios, etc., as a message.
It extends the limited capabilities of the Short Messaging Service (SMS), which only supports text messages, and the Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), which can only send simple media files between subscribers. There is no specified size limit in MMS except that enforced by the mobile carrier. MMS requires 2.5G or higher mobile communications technology to work.
