What are MMS messages on the phone? MMS


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

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

Abbreviation MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. Unlike SMS with its significant restrictions on the size and type of information transmitted, MMS technology allows you to instantly transfer not only text, but also other multimedia content: photographs (which you can take within 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. Now manufacturers are 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 restrictions on the size of MMS messages sent. However, in reality, every operator cellular communications 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 recipient will receive exactly what was sent.

Using MMS you can exchange almost any information: photos, videos, audio recordings...

Wheels and gears

Even if you don’t know whether the recipient’s device supports MMS, you can still safely send him a message, and it will not be lost or 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 was the case with SMS, but a whole complex. The brain of this system is MMS Relay- message switching server. It receives, processes and forwards all multimedia messages from a specific 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, a WAP gateway, which is responsible for delivering the multimedia component of the message, a 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 . Thanks to such a complex system, the end user has a wide range of possibilities for working with multimedia messages.

  • We can send MMS from a mobile phone to e-mail, and the recipient will receive the message as a regular email.
  • Using special MMS mail gates, we can send an e-mail that will be sent to cellular telephone as a multimedia message.
  • It doesn’t matter what phone model the recipient has: the system itself will figure out in what form to display the information. First, the MMS center will send a system SMS with service data to the phone, and only then will it send text message with a link to your message (if the device does not support MMS), or using WAP it will connect to the server 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 between two of your acquaintances or explain to a friend how to get to that place, where are you now? Use MMS.

Motivation

The functionality of MMS is much wider than it might even seem at first glance. The opportunities available to the user 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 just one, but three SMS, use a multimedia message.

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

Want to congratulate someone with a small message, but don't want it to sound dull? Attach a nice picture to the MMS, and 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 be played. Such a virtual one will leave few people indifferent!

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

Or, for example, your friend needs to meet with another person, but only you know his face. And in this situation it is difficult to come up with something simpler than sending a photo the right person via MMS.

2. Information Services based on MMS. This worthy alternative similar SMS services, as well as WAP pages. The most obvious advantage multimedia messages - much richer possibilities for designing information messages. But there is something more. For example, MMS can be integrated with a subscriber location system, and then the user, having sent a request with the address he needs, will receive a map in response indicating the optimal 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 stock market reports, but also graphs or diagrams of their changes for an arbitrarily selected time interval.

4. Entertainment. British analysts estimate that 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, it can offer its subscribers such services as: MMS chat, MMS games, MMS dating, etc.

Also, do not forget that special server applications are created based on MMS, facilitating more convenient and quick access to the content. This is a multimedia 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. It’s not possible to keep them all in the phone’s memory!

To solve this problem, the operator creates a separate database called a “multimedia box”. In this database, the subscriber can store his messages for an arbitrary period of time. In addition, the subscriber can generate and send multimedia messages without preload necessary content into the device. To do this, he sends to the MMS center control message, 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 database called a “multimedia album.” This database is located on a separate server and contains audio and video fragments, pictures, logos, which the subscriber can freely download to create an MMS.

Workshop

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

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

  • CSD (direct call to a cellular operator pool; data transfer speed leaves much to be desired);
  • GPRS. In fair competition, the second option won by knockout long ago, so we won’t even consider CSD. This is too dark a thing. Below are instructions for three major Moscow GSM operators, while information on others can be found in their sales offices or on official websites.

"Beeline"

You can connect GPRS-WAP and MMS (the so-called “Package of three services”) in two ways:

1. Call the number 06709181 .

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

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

Next you need to configure the phone itself. Order settings for GPRS-WAP and MMS on the official Beeline website or at the subscriber service. After they arrive to you by service SMS, save them and reboot your phone to register in the MMS system. Finally send 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 (to do this you need to dial the number 08802449 and then press 1 to confirm the addition of the service), or through the ISSA Internet service.

"Megaphone"

This operator has the most easy option settings.

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

After that, order from the website or through 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.

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

The maximum MMS volume 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 mobile operator. In such cases, either changing the phone’s firmware to a more recent one, where perhaps this problem has already been solved, or installing (at your own peril and risk) unofficial patches can come to the rescue.

It is difficult to find a person who has not sent or received SMS messages. This is one of the oldest ways communication on a mobile phone - it is already more than twenty years old. In today's episode of “How it Works” there is a story about SMS and MMS technologies.

SMS service short messages(Short Messaging Service), which transmits a small amount of data over a cellular network. The concept of SMS was developed by Friedhelm Hillerbrand and Bernard Gillebert in 1984. They suggested transferring data between phones at the moment when resources GSM networks are idle. The message length was limited to 128 bytes, this standard size signal package.

A test SMS message was transmitted in 1992 on the network of the British operator Vodafone. In 1993, subscribers of cellular operators in Sweden, the USA, Norway, Great Britain and Finland began sending the first messages. The first phone to support SMS was a Nokia device. Now SMS supports all types of cellular networks: GMS, 3G, NMT, CDMA, UMTS and others.

One SMS message can transmit 160 characters in 7-bit encoding (Arabic numerals and Latin alphabet), 140 characters in 8-bit encoding (French and German languages) and 70 characters in 16-bit encoding (Cyrillic and hieroglyphs). Along with the text, other information is transmitted in SMS: time of sending, recipient and sender numbers, encoding scheme, protocol identifier, delivery message, etc. This data allows you to address the message to the correct recipient and ensure the readability of the message.

When transmitting a larger amount of data, the text is split into several messages. Each of them contains Additional information about the number of text segments and the segment number.

After sending from the phone, the SMS message goes to the server, where it is stored until it is delivered to the recipient. The server finds out whether the recipient is online and where. When the location is determined, the message is transmitted to base station, to which in currently the subscriber is connected, and from there - to his phone. The SMS will arrive even if the subscriber is talking on the phone or consuming Internet traffic. The scheme seems simple, but in fact almost all elements are involved in it cellular network.

You can send an SMS even if the recipient's phone is turned off - the message will arrive when it appears online. Since sending SMS uses a lower priority band than voice and Internet traffic, the message may be delivered to the recipient with a long delay or not delivered at all. A small percentage of messages are lost even when normal functioning networks.

Many mobile applications (for example, instant messengers and banking) use SMS to register users, social media(Twitter, Facebook, VKontakte) and postal services- for two-factor verification and password recovery.

Since 1998, there has been SMS billing - money is written off from the subscriber’s account after sending SMS on short number. This type of payment is used when collecting donations, voting, paying for virtual or real goods or services. It has a number of disadvantages, which scammers take advantage of: they indicate a low price for an SMS message or write that it is free, arrange a long-term subscription without the subscriber’s consent, send an SMS in hidden ways and so on. This type of fraud is even profitable for operators - their commission is approximately half the cost of an SMS. Now SMS billing is being replaced by “operator billing” - debiting money from a subscriber’s account without using SMS. This type of payment allows you to exclude dubious intermediaries, large trading platforms cooperate directly with operators.

MMS - multimedia messaging service. With it you can send to phones or email photos, videos or sound files. An MMS message consists of two parts: SMS standard length and multimedia file, which is saved on the operator’s WAP server. If the recipient's phone does not support media downloads, a link to the file will be shown. MMS specifications limit the size of attachments you can send to 999 kilobytes. Russian operators set a limit of 300 kilobytes. Usually, sending MMS costs significantly more than SMS; incoming messages of both types are not charged in Russia.

SMS and MMS are a complex, expensive and unreliable method of delivering messages, but it works on all mobile phones and does not require Internet charges per kilobyte, so it will be able to compete with free messengers for a long time.

The MMS function is supported by many modern models phones. The ability to send multimedia messages allows mobile phone users to share with each other their impressions of a vacation, a walk, wish them a good mood along with a beautiful melody or interesting picture. This function is now actively used by those subscribers who own older cell phone models. Multimedia messages are also convenient when it is not possible to use more in modern ways information transfer - Wi-Fi and WhatsApp.

The question of how to set up MMS is asked by subscribers of all existing operators. The system for setting up the function of sending multimedia messages is approximately the same for all operators. To be sure that the feature will be available and you can use it, you must complete all possible settings, which include the following three steps:

  • Step 1 - you need to activate the service;
  • Step 2 - configure account;
  • Step 3 - Check your phone settings manually.

Here it is done setting up MMS on your device. Enjoy the service!

Hi all! Today I will tell you about MMS messages x, their development and future prospects.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a service for transmitting multimedia messages (pictures, video and audio files) using a mobile network. Messages can be sent not only from phone to phone, but also from phone to E-mail. Mobile operators have restrictions on the size of MMS. For example, Megafon maximum size message is 300 kB, for Beeline - 500 kB, for MTS - 500 kB.

It's clear what to send high quality photo or the video won't work. Therefore, MMS is more of an entertainment that allows you to please your friends cool picture, a new melody or a short video.

The MMS service was developed by an international organization Open Mobile Alliance, which includes such famous companies as IBM, Nokia, Vodafone, Motorola and some others. If you look at the history of the launch of MMS in the world, you can see that the first country where it appeared this service, became Norway (July 2001). After this, mobile operators in other countries began to provide subscribers with the ability to send multimedia messages.

In Russia, the pioneer of MMS was Megafon (October 2002). They were followed by MTS in May 2003. A little later, all Russian mobile operators began to include the option of sending MMS in their tariffs.

The very idea of ​​the transfer multimedia files from phone to phone it looked very interesting and tempting. At that time it had already picked up its cruising speed SMS service. Amid the popularity of short text messages new service MMS was supposed to be a nice addition to the usual way of sending SMS. It was expected to develop rapidly, BUT... The plans remained plans, because MMS messages did not find their mass application. Why?

I was lucky enough to use the MMS service on my first phone. Based on my experience and my observations, I will tell you the reasons why subscribers did not like MMS.

1. Expensive. At that time, when one SMS message cost from 50 kopecks to 1 ruble, the cost of an MMS seemed very high - as much as 7-8 rubles!

2. Nothing to send. It would seem that mobile multimedia content should be popular... But now we think so. 10 years ago, via MMS you could send a snippet of a melody in MID or MMF format, a small picture in GIF or JPG format, and a short video in 3GP format of terrible quality.

At first it was fun and cool. But very soon I got tired of just sending pictures and melodies. Photo? The ability to take a photo was not available on all mobile phones. And on those where there was a camera, the quality of the photos left much to be desired... Send a beautiful melody with a signature? Once or twice is possible, but constantly is pointless and expensive.

3. Complex settings. In order to set it up on your phone MMS, I had to go to the operator and ask for help. I didn’t want to delve into the phone’s settings myself, register the IP address there (which was initially unknown), or enter any other data. This situation changed later - you just had to send SMS to operator to a short number, and the settings were sent automatically. But in those wild times this was not the case.

4. Slow speed. To send one MMS message containing a picture weighing tens of kilobytes, you had to wait several minutes. Against this background, messages that were sent instantly seemed super-fast. To receive an MMS, you had to wait no less.

5. No delivery report. Was the message delivered? One can only guess about this. If the person to whom I am sending an MMS does not have this service configured on their phone, then they will not be able to view my picture or video. Instead, you receive a link, clicking on which you will be able to see the message. What if the Internet is not configured either? Well then, excuse me...

Now many of the shortcomings and problems of the MMS service have been corrected. Sending multimedia messages has become easier. The camera capabilities of phones have grown, MP3 ringtones have appeared, and the speed of data transfer over the cellular network has increased. Almost everyone has a cell phone, and MMS is configured automatically. In addition, many operators provide packages from free MMS for a reasonable price. I don't want to use it!

QUESTION: WHY, DESPITE THE GROWTH IN THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF MOBILE CONTENT, IMPROVED SERVICE AND REDUCED PRICES, MMS MESSAGES ARE NOT IN DEMAND?

I know very few people who send MMS (it's surprising that they send them at all). And I myself last time sent MMS many years ago... What's the matter?

Answer: SMARTPHONES and SOCIAL NETWORKS are to blame for everything.

At a time when using the MMS service was becoming more convenient and cheaper, the first smartphones were already appearing and the Internet was beginning to develop rapidly. Modern smartphones With mobile applications for social networks allow you to instantly share photos High Quality, videos and music. It's faster and easier than sending MMS, which are already obsolete.

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

But people involved in mobile technologies have already prepared a replacement for the good old SMS. Yes, you guessed it. We are talking about MMS.
