It’s as easy as text messaging but you can add more to your messages by taking a photo, recording sounds or downloading pictures to send on to friends. You can send your media message to anyone with a picture messaging phone on a UK mobile phone network. Why not send your pictures to.....
• make someone laugh - let them re-live the moment from their fabulous karaoke performance last weekend...
• prove it - so they actually believe your celebrity sighting!
• get a second opinion - does my bum look big in this?
• make someone jealous - yes, I am on the beach sipping sangria while you're in the office...
• show someone what you’re up to - let Granny see the kids having fun at the park....
If your friends and family don't have a compatible phone you can still share your pictures. Most UK Networks operate online storage albums for photos, where you can save images from your phone or PC, to be viewed online. Or you can even send the message to their email address.
On a more serious note, MMS is being used increasingly in the working environment...the following is taken from MDA Market Research:
'We send pictures of building sites, so we can quote quickly' - Operations manager
'On site staff send pictures of problems on site to our maintenance department' - Proprietor, Consruction
'The MMS picture has made us quicker' - Company Secretary
