Multi Media Services (MMS) allows your customers to send/receive video, streaming video, and image messaging, improving on the industry standards of text and voice messaging. MMS services are being hailed as the compelling revenue generator in the next generation value added services that build upon the advantages offered by simple SMS based communications services.

MMS greatly enhances peer-to-peer messaging services presently offered by going beyond text/voice messaging and including streaming video, video, and image messaging. It provides operators with the first real opportunity to increase the uptake of packet data services, such as GPRS, and is predicted to appeal to a wide subscriber base.

With these high-value services, service providers must ensure that these are open not only to postpaid subscribers but also prepaid customers; and since these services involve much higher levels of transaction, guaranteeing that operators are paid for the services they deliver is absolutely vital.
