SMS vs. MMS

SMS stands for Short Message Service, otherwise known as your typical cell phone text message. It allows the exchange of text messages that are up to 160 characters in length.

MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. It extends the SMS capability to include multimedia like pictures, videos, and ringtones.

Think before you text - not everyone has unlimited texting plans!
