Message conversion
The MMS-C is able to perform limited message
conversion - for example, from MMS to SMS - so
that processing and air time is not wasted in
sending messages to mobile terminals that do
not have adequate capability to receive them. It
also handles service aspects such as store and
forward, guaranteed delivery, subscriber
preferences, operator constraints, and billing
information. The MMS-C also vouches for high
quality messaging, e.g. by format conversion.
This means that the MMS-C recognizes which
formats are supported in the mobile phone, and
adapts the MMS messages to these formats.
OTA configuration
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not
have to configure the settings manually.
The configuration is done by the operator.
