FAQs

Answers to your questions about MMS.

A multimedia messaging service (MMS) lets you go beyond plain text by sending engaging visuals straight to your customers’ phones. With MMS, you can share images, videos, GIFs, and audio — along with up to 1,600 characters of text — all in one powerful message that grabs attention and drives action.

When you send an MMS message, the multimedia content is encoded and forwarded to your (the sender’s) mobile carrier’s Multimedia Messaging Service Centre (MMSC). If your recipient is on a different carrier, your MMSC relays the message over the internet to the recipient’s MMSC. The content is stored on a temporary server, and an SMS control message containing a URL to the content is sent to the recipient’s phone, triggering the device’s WAP browser to retrieve the multimedia. 

MMS messaging requires a cellular data connection (unlike SMS, which only needs basic cellular service) for the transmission of images, audio, video, and longer text messages. Most carriers reliably handle up to 300 KB, with some allowing up to 1 MB (and larger files may be compressed) making MMS suitable for smaller images and short video clips rather than high-resolution files. Other multimedia messaging options include WhatsApp and the new RCS

You can send images (JPEG, PNG, GIF), videos (MP4), audio files, and PDFs—perfect for showcasing products, sending instructions, or sharing documents.

Businesses can enjoy several benefits with MMS messaging:

• Higher engagement rates than SMS alone

• Increased conversions with visually rich CTAs

• Enhanced brand recall with multimedia content

• More effective marketing through dynamic storytelling

• Two-way communication for customer interactions 

MMS pricing varies based on your messaging volume and carrier rates. Check out our Pricing page or contact our team for a custom quote based on your messaging needs. MMS has a one-time setup fee of $500.

MMS is available in the U.S. and Canada, with coverage dependent on carrier support. We’ll help ensure your messages reach the right audience.

 • Promote new products with visually engaging content

• Deliver coupons, offers, and event invitations
