What is Difference Between SMS and MMS ?

SMS stands for Short Messaging Service and initially referred to text messages sent using a specific GSM protocol. MMS is an acronym for Multimedia Messaging Service.

Both SMS and MMS are based on GSM protocols, SMS is designed for sending text messages while MMS messages were designed to send multimedia content. The MMS messages can include any type of multimedia including: photos, audio, videos or contacts.
