MMS messages
MMS messages are structured in a similar way to slide
show presentations. Each message consists of one or
more slides, with each slide able to contain text, an
image, an audio file, a video clip, a file attachment or
any combination of these. When the message is played,
each slide and it’s contents are shown in order. You can
optionally adjust the timing of the slides, for instance,
to keep showing an image until a clip of music has
finished playing.
Note: MMS messages require a GPRS connection as
part of your service provider agreement. Also, not all
mobile phones can accept or display MMS messages.
You must also choose the correct initial settings to
match your network. Please see
MMS connection
configuration
at the end of this MMS section.
