An MMS API (application programming interface), allows a software developer to easily integrate the ability to send and receive multimedia messages via wireless networks into their software or application. A multimedia message or MMS is different from SMS in that it contains a media attachment, instead of just plain text or an emoji.
MMS enables you to send and receive images, video, audio, and GIFs. This is different from SMS, which only allows you to send text and emojis.
Yes. Bandwidth offers both an SMS and an MMS API.
Yes, Bandwidth’s API enables you to both send and receive MMS.
Yes. In fact, you can api send MMS over any type of number (short code, toll-free, or local). Currently, Bandwidth does not offer short code MMS, but it’s something we’re working on (so stay tuned).
No. MMS doesn’t have character limits the way SMS does, but there can be data size limits based on the provider you’re working with.
Yes, but still on a per-message basis (not based on the type or size of media you send).
Bandwidth stores MMS media for 48 hours.
Yes. Bandwidth does currently offer this feature.
No! While newer phones, software, and applications translate emojis into more graphical representations, emojis at their core are still just characters that can be sent over SMS. 😀
