FAQ

MMS is the abbreviation for Multimedia Messaging Service. It is the mobile standard that allows users to send messages with elements like photos, audio, video, GIFs, and rich text features like bold, italics, and underlines. Unlike normal text messages, MMSs require cellular data or Wi-Fi to be sent or received. Also, text messages have a 160-character limit, while MMSs can be up to 1600 characters long.

Support is another issue with MMSs. Text messages are supported on all mobile devices, but MMSs can only be sent/viewed on smartphones or feature phones with MMS compatibility.

Carriers often have limits on the elements that can be sent as an MMS. This size is usually around 1 to 3 MB. Even if you send a high-resolution video, carriers will compress it to keep it under the specified size limit, impacting the quality during the process.
