Hello,

We are using the MMS Gateway service. For how long does the MMS content stays in the system?

Can we set a specific time for the message expiration?

We also use the option of converting the mms to SMS with web link. For how long is the content stored in the platform?

Hi,

By default, MMS mesasge content is retained for 15 days before it is expired.

To change this timeout, it is necessary to edit MMSC.INI, and under the [MMSC] section header, add DataRetainDays=##, where ## is the number of days for MMS message data to be retained by the system.

The same timeout applies to messages that are converted from MMS to SMS.
