MMS (Multimedia Message Service)

standardized by the WAP Forum and the 3rd Generation

primarily phone numbers, thus the traffic goes from
phone to phone. MMS also provides support for e-mail
addressing, so that messages can be sent by e-mail. In
addition to the text content of SMS, MMS messages can
contain still images, voice or audio clips, and also video
clips and presentation information.
