Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting

photographs or video clips, sound files, and short text messages over

wireless networks.
When the phone radio is turned on for the first time, the GSM/GPRS

Manager application detects the mobile phone service provider and

automatically populates the MMS settings on the HP iPAQ. For more

information on changing settings in the GSM/GPRS Manager, refer to

Chapter 5, in the section

“Modifying the GSM/GPRS Network Settings.”

Alternately, you can access some MMS settings by taping, from the Start

menu, Messaging > Tools > MMS Settings. It is not recommended

to change the MMS settings provided by your mobile phone service

provider unless they request the change.
