MMS vs SMS: What are the differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a cellphone, you must have used some multimedia applications. SMS (short message service) and MMS are often going hand in hand. They are both delivered over a cellular network; however, while SMS has a limit of 160 characters, MMS messages don\u2019t have a limit. See more differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. SMS contains text messages only; MMS contains videos, pictures, texts and other media files.<\/li>
  2. You can send one SMS message to multiple recipients separately, not in groups; MMS uses group messaging which delivers one message to a group of recipients<\/li>
  3. SMS & MMS both use cellular network: SMS texts are usually included in your plan; MMS messages use your mobile data<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    RingCentral currently supports both SMS and MMS services. They are automatically activated for RingCentral Office users. More service providers such as Nextiva and Vonage are releasing MMS support soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
