Mass MMS Messaging | Best Way To Send Bulk Images and Videos In 2024

What Is Mass MMS Messaging?

MMS, which stands for multimedia messaging service, allows you to send videos, images, and other multimedia via text. Mass MMS lets you send multimedia to multiple recipients at once.

With regular SMS text messages, you can only include links to audio or visual content. However, with MMS, you can send these items directly within your message.

Better yet, because you send MMS texts using a cellular network, recipients don’t need to have access to the Internet to access and view these files. Additionally, the limits imposed on the length or size of traditional SMS text messages don’t apply to MMS messages.

Those without access to multimedia messaging services have a much harder time sending multimedia files or attachments.

For example, an MMS message can include a picture. Meanwhile, an SMS message can only mass text a picture if it’s hosted on a photo hosting site and the text message contains a link to that site.

Eliminating this extra step makes the picture or content more accessible to recipients, allowing them to see attachments with minimal effort. This visibility is especially important when trying to get your recipients’ attention quickly.

For instance, when sending out an MMS marketing message for business, it’s key to reduce any possible friction to seeing your message.

Is An MMS Message A Text?

Referring to MMS messages as text messages is technically incorrect. Text, by definition, refers to words. Instead of words, MMS messages include multimedia content such as pictures, videos, and gifs.

However, it’s common to refer to MMS messages as MMS texts. 

This likely stems from the fact that the process of sending or receiving SMS and MMS messages is very similar. Many people use the term “texting” to describe all communication done through native phone messaging apps.

Mass MMS Messaging vs Mass SMS

The difference between SMS and MMS messages is simple: SMS messages include only words or text. 

On the other hand, MMS messages can include multimedia content. Essentially, an MMS text is any message with an attached:

• Video
• Picture
• Gif
• Sound clip
• Phone contact

Of course, MMS messages also allow the sender to send words. This can be especially useful since SMS text messages tend to have a 160 character limit. MMS messages do not have these limitations, so you can send longer messages instead of breaking it up and sending it as consecutive messages.

While SMS and MMS messaging are distinctly different, they also have aspects in common. For example, you send both via a cellular network. This makes them accessible anywhere in which there is a strong enough cell phone signal.

You can also send both types of messages using DialMyCalls mass texting service.

• Messages from the local animal shelter including a picture of a litter of kittens available for adoption
