3, in co-operation with Yospace, now lets their customers in the UK to send MMS to any email address. Later, recipients can also reply by email within five days. The ‘MMS-to-Email’ MMS arrives in the recipients inbox embedded in a formatted HTML email. The email text will then transformed into an MMS. The service closes the MMS communication loop so network differences and international coverage are no longer issues for MMS senders and ensures all MMS get to intended email recipients.
MMS, however, is not the same as e-mail. MMS is based on the concept of multimedia messaging. The presentation of the message is coded into the presentation file so that the images, sounds and text are displayed in a predetermined order as one singular message. MMS does not support attachments as e-mail does. [ source ]
On the PC, when an email is received, the recipient and can either Play the Video MMS using Real Time or another player or look at the text and pictures included within the MMS mms to email. The recipient of the MMS is also given the opportunity to respond to the sender for free with up to 500 characters of text which is delivered back to the sender’s handset as a text-only MMS.
“3’s MMS-to-Email service is set to drive MMS usage on its network,” said David Springall, Yospace’s CTO. “Users need to feel reassured that their MMS will reach eventual recipients regardless of network or country. Our MMS-to-Email Gateway takes away one of the few remaining obstacles to mass use of MMS.”
