When reading messages, sometimes we do not feel the emotions that the interlocutor conveys in his message. And why all? Yes, because most mobile operators limit the number of characters and words that users can exchange. It is for such cases that the MMS service was developed - a multimedia messaging service. In order for the subscriber to receive or send such messages, you must configure your mobile phone. This is exactly what this article is devoted to - how to set up MMS on Beeline.
About the service
MMS Beeline allows you to transfer video, audio and photos with a total size of up to 1 MB via a regular message to the subscriber’s phone. Also, one file can contain up to 1,000 characters (if this value is exceeded, the cost of payment increases). The advantage of the service is that the subscriber can also send data to an electronic mailbox.
How to connect MMS on Beeline for free? You need to send a USSD request to *110*181# (a “Package of three services” will be activated: GPRS, GPRS-WAP and MMS). To activate on your phone, you need to configure it (see below).
What is MMS
We are all familiar with text messages and use them quite regularly, but they cannot send any images or sounds.
The MMS service was created specifically for this purpose. The name itself is an abbreviation that translates into Russian as “multimedia messaging service.” It seems incredible, but in the US and Norway, more than two-thirds of the total is MMS. There is a version that the technology was developed by the first providers for paid storage of photos taken from users’ phones on their servers. The difference between MMS and SMS is that thanks to it you can send not only text, but also an image, sound, presentation or video. You can combine all this with each other or with text, provided that the resulting size does not exceed 999 kB (in some phones the size is limited to 100 kB). Almost all operators support this type of message. In order to successfully send MMS, you must have 3 and 4G protocols. This is UMTS and higher. Previously, low-speed data could be transmitted via GPRS, but today this does not seem to be a serious problem.
Packet transmission can be used for any purpose, but is usually used specifically for accessing the Internet. Because it is convenient to charge based not on time, as in a telephone conversation, but on the volume of transmitted information. Which is what is required in this case. MMS is delivered in a fundamentally different way. It was found that not every message the recipient wants to read. Therefore, to save traffic, the data is delivered to the server, from where a short request about the availability of the package comes. The shelf life usually does not exceed 3 days.
Network protocol information is transmitted at the moment when there are free voice channels formed by frequency and code methods. It is believed that the operator himself decides what type of information to give the prerogative, but if the quality of voice communication deteriorates sharply, then many will want to change the cellular operator. Be that as it may, with the introduction of smartphones, multimedia messages have become so popular that the issue of priority has had to be reconsidered in recent years: in the United States, many are dissatisfied with the service!
Not all phones support MMS because it requires some minimum capabilities. And the first of them is access to the Internet. Cheap phones can't do this because they don't have the hardware or software to do it. Physically, the phone can receive encoded information, because the transmission is on the same frequency, but it is not able to decipher and display it: there are no decoders or means of playing multimedia.
How to get settings
Immediately after connecting the service, the subscriber needs to make settings. Beeline MMS settings can be automatic or manual (depending on the model of the mobile device). In the first case, all the necessary parameters are set with virtually no user intervention. A service message arrives on the phone, the subscriber clicks “Accept” (sometimes you need to enter PIN code 1234), the settings are set.

Connection methods
The period for receiving a sent multimedia message in the Beeline network is limited to three days. Such sending from this operator can be carried out to the numbers of any domestic operators. In addition, MMS can be sent to foreign countries, but not all cellular networks abroad support this service. There are also additional volume restrictions. For example, some networks abroad limit the size of such a message to 300 kilobytes. However, most cellular networks allow you to send a message up to 500 kilobytes in size. If you try to send a larger amount of data, the service may not work.
In fact, the MMS service is an expanded version of the function for sending a text message, in which you can now send a video or sound file, various images and photographs, some other file formats, as well as text of no more than 1000 characters. File attachments are limited to 1 megabyte.
