Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting
photographs or video clips, sound files, and short text messages over
wireless networks.
When the phone radio is turned on for the first time, the GSM/GPRS
Manager application detects the mobile phone service provider and
automatically populates the MMS settings on the HP iPAQ. For more
information on changing settings in the GSM/GPRS Manager, refer to
Chapter 5, in the section “Modifying the GSM/GPRS Network Settings.”
Alternately, you can access some MMS settings by taping, from the Start
menu, Messaging > Tools > MMS Settings. It is not recommended
to change the MMS settings provided by your mobile phone service
provider unless they request the change.
