Hi,

Can someone explain to me the difference between "Send MMS Notification" and the "Send MMS" options in the Web Interface of NowSMS. From what I see, when I use "Send MMS", the entire file gets pushed to the mobile device. How does this happen? As you guessed, I'm pretty new to this technology.

Thanks

Probably the best place to start is the following link:

http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm

That'll give you an overview of how MMS works.

Basically, "Send MMS Notification" takes a URL for a precompiled MMS message sitting on a web server and sends a notification out for the referenced URL.

"Send MMS Message" causes NowSMS to assemble the content into an MMS message format, and NowSMS then publishes a dynamic URL on its own server ... and sends out a notification referencing the dynamic URL.
