A plain SMS has a length limit and no room for images. SMSEagle supports MMS, so you can send and receive photos, video, or audio alongside your text messages.
Some situations, like confirming equipment damage or verifying a delivery, need a picture, not a paragraph of text. MMS lets you send and receive images, video, or audio directly through SMSEagle, across API, Compose, Email to SMS, and SMS Forward.
A standard SMS forces you to keep messages short or split them into parts. MMS carries far more text in a single message, so longer text is sent as one message instead of several.
Adding picture messaging to an alerting system often means a separate app or service. MMS is a universal standard that works across almost all phones and carriers, with no extra software, as long as MMS and mobile data are enabled on the SIM card.
MMS requires a modem and a carrier plan that supports multimedia messaging, the same as on any regular phone.
Send and receive MMS through the API, WebGUI Compose, Email to SMS, Email to SMS Poller, SMS to Email, and SMS Forward.
One page for the whole feature
Modem enablement and carrier connection parameters live together, so multimedia messaging is ready to use without hunting through menus.
All you need is your carrier's settings
Turn on MMS for the modem you want to use and enter your carrier’s connection parameters, so messages actually reach the network.
A photo instead of a paragraph
JPEG, PNG, and GIF images are the most widely supported by carriers; most other file types work too, deliverability just depends on the recipient’s carrier and handset.
Don't leave incoming MMS unanswered
Turn on the MMS autoresponder with one reply text, and every incoming picture message gets acknowledged automatically.
SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway
SMSEagle combines hardware and software into a single, self-contained gateway. It is designed for critical environments, so security is built in from the ground up, confirmed by CE, FCC, ISED, UKCA, PTCRB, RCM, IMDA, TDRA, CB Scheme, GCF, carrier certifications (Verizon, AT&T) and ISO 27001.
Multimedia Messaging Service, an evolution of SMS that combines a longer block of text with images, photos, video, or audio in one message.
No extra software or third-party services are needed. MMS travels over the operator’s data network, so the SIM card must have MMS and mobile data enabled on its plan.
JPEG, PNG, and GIF images are the most widely supported by carriers. Most other file types work too, though deliverability isn’t guaranteed since it depends on the recipient’s carrier and handset.
Through the API, WebGUI Compose, Email to SMS, Email to SMS Poller, SMS to Email, and SMS Forward.
There is no limit on text length. Each MMS can carry one attachment of up to 300 KB.
MMS is available on SMSEagle devices with a modem and carrier plan that supports MMS.
