EMS (Enhanced Message Service)
An adaptation of the Short Message Service (SMS) that allows

Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) networks.
EMS senders can use text, melodies, pictures, sounds, and
animations to enhance the expressive power of messages that
are limited by the display constraints of mobile devices.
