[edit] explain MMSC as MMS Server/Relay

Hi, i woluld like to include a hint: (MMSC is a common, but standard name for the combined functionalities of a MMS Server and MMS Relay).

Since you won´t find the term MMSC in the refered OMA or 3GPP specs. Nonetheless you can buy a "MMSC".

what do you think?

[edit] Trancoded to what?

I don't completely understand how it works, but it seems that more often than not, pictures, video and audio sent via MMS are transcoded to a given set of standards, specified by the OMA. So, which are those standards? I mean, which codecs/formats are used to store and transfer MMS media? --Pfc432 03:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but I believe that audio is sent as AAC, video as 3GP and pictures as plain jpg. Although I also believe that audio may be sent as midi (since that was the only kind of audio my old SE T68i supported). Mp3 can't be sent as audio, that much I do know. 90.224.152.178 18:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)/Håkan 2007-08-21

It's down to the transcoder used by the MMSC e.g. the Philips transcoder.. etc. it uses the ua profile for the retrieving handset and transcodes according to it's configuration.

[edit] Specs...

This article has too little (no) technical information or specs about standards and limitations.. let's get some! 84.234.176.26 22:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MMS call flow

could anybody please add MMS call flow from sombody who sent the MMS until MMS received by the receiver.

best regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.81.68.100 (talk) 02:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] this requires major cleanup

the article probably contains no more than three encyclopedic facts, is long winded, and appears to be entirely lifted off of the back of the packaging this MMS thing came in. does really nobody who cared enough to write/copy and paste this know enough about it to write an even halfway encyclopedic entry about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.85.210 (talk) 00:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
