I received a text message on my phone welcoming me to MMS. What is MMS and why am I receiving this message?
MMS is our Media Messaging Service. We are in the midst of making some changes to our wireless network, and as part of these changes we have launched Media Messaging as a replacement service for our old Picture and Video Messaging Service. MTS customers with compatible phones will receive a welcome message in the coming months as they are moved to the new service.
