MMS enables multimedia messages containing content such as pictures, music, images, graphics, and ring tones. MMS is expected to be one of the key services that will drive demand for WAP and GPRS. The MMS standard, based on 3GPP and WAP Forum standards, includes an MMS mail client on the device, a WAP gateway for sending and receiving messages, and a multimedia messaging service center (MMSC) for storing, transcoding and relaying messages.

See the Tools section of this page to download the recent version of the MMS SDK.

Client MMS Capabilities
Developers can now use the Openwave® SDK 6.2 to start validating their MMS content on devices that will ship with Openwave MMS software. The Openwave MMS Toolkit leverages the Openwave Mobile Browser core features to provide MMS networking and MMS message viewing functionality that complies with the WAP and 3GPP MMS specifications, the GSMA M-Services Guidelines, and the MMS Conformance Document.

Openwave MMSc

Openwave is actively recruiting developers to begin creating MMS-enabled applications and services using its standards-based developer API and SDK. We are currently providing a Java implementation of the MM7 standards which allows developers to programatically deliver MMS messages via any MM7 compliant gateway. The Openwave Developer Network is also operating a live MMSc for developers. If you are interested in testing your MMS applications through the Openwave MMSc, please visit the Openwave Developer website and fill out the interest form there. An Openwave Developer Services engineer will contact you with the connection details once you have been provisioned
