Creating a "Special Offers" MMS message
We want to send a message with a 'special offer' and a pizza image. There are many
ways to send such an MMS message. We can:
Compose it using a mobile device and send it from there.
Compose using a mobile device, send it as an email, and send it to customers
from there.
Write a script to generate an MMS message through an MMS library or SDK.
Send out via an MMS gateway.
Compose using Nokia, Openwave (or any other) toolkit and send it via
the server.
