Cellular operators offer an instant multimedia messaging (MMS) service for subscribers that allows you to send text, photo or video files to other people. The size of such a message is no more than 500 KB, and the number of characters is no more than 1000. Moreover, you can send it not only to a cell phone number, but also to a subscriber's e-mail within Russia or abroad. The cost may vary.
Pros and cons of the service
Although MMS is not considered the most popular service among mobile operators, it has several advantages:
- no need to do additional uploading of files to hosting and file hosting services;
- you can send video and audio recordings, the main thing is that the total size does not exceed 500 MB;
- you can send to the selected e-mail and to the numbers of any operators in Russia.
There are also disadvantages - this is the limited shelf life of MMS, which in Beeline is 72 hours. If during this time the subscriber does not view the data, they will be automatically deleted. Also, this service must be configured on the receiving phone.
Shipping costs vary depending on the selected shipping rate. For example, the cost of one shipment is 6.45 rubles.
