The difference between SMS and MMS

The differences between SMS and MMS are as follows:

1, SMS only charges information fee, usually 10 cents. MMS can transmit pictures, ringtones and other information, so you have to charge a traffic fee. It's usually 90 cents each.

2. SMS is a text message transmitted by No.7 signaling network. The size of information content is limited to 70 words (140 bytes). Short messages are mainly sent and received end-to-end through mobile phones and between mobile phones and the Internet.

3.MMS is not a real short message with multimedia information. Technically, it has nothing to do with texting. With the support of GPRS network and WAP wireless application protocol as the carrier, it transmits not only words, but also pictures, animations, sounds and other information.

However, because the receiving process of MMS is very similar to SMS, it will cause an illusion that MMS is an extension and extension of SMS.

The English name of MMS is MMS, which is the abbreviation of MultimediaMessagingService, which means multimedia messaging service and is usually called MMS. Its biggest feature is that it supports multimedia functions and can transmit comprehensive content and information, including text, image, sound, data and other multimedia formats.
