Several other messages are exchanged to indicate the status of the delivery attempt. An SMS "control message" containing the URL of the content is then sent to the recipient's handset to trigger the receiver's WAP browser to open and receive the content from the embedded URL. If it supports the standards for receiving MMS, the content is extracted and sent to a temporary storage server with an HTTP front-end. Once the recipient's MMSC has received a message, it first determines whether the receiver's handset is "MMS capable" or not. If the receiver is on a carrier different from the sender, then the MMSC acts as a relay, and forwards the message to the MMSC of the recipient's carrier using the Internet. The message is then forwarded to the carrier's MMS store and forward server, known as the MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Centre). The first step is for the sending device to encode the multimedia content in a fashion similar to sending a MIME message (MIME content formats are defined in the MMS Message Encapsulation specification). MMS messages are delivered in a different way from SMS. This is due in part to the wide adoption of smartphones. increased by 70% from 57 billion to 96 billion messages sent. The commercial introduction of MMS started in March 2002. Multimedia messaging service was built using the technology of SMS messaging, first developed in 1984 as a captive technology which enabled service providers to "collect a fee every time anyone snaps a photo." The 3GPP and WAP groups fostered the development of the MMS standard, which is now continued by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). Media companies have utilized MMS on a commercial basis as a method of delivering news and entertainment content, and retailers have deployed it as a tool for delivering scannable coupon codes, product images, videos, and other information. The most common use involves sending photographs from camera-equipped handsets. Unlike text-only SMS, MMS can deliver a variety of media, including up to forty seconds of video, one image, a slideshow of multiple images, or audio. The MMS standard extends the core SMS (Short Message Service) capability, allowing the exchange of text messages greater than 160 characters in length. Users and providers may refer to such a message as a PXT, a picture message, or a multimedia message. Multimedia Messaging Service ( MMS) is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from a mobile phone over a cellular network.
