Many people use third-party applications to communicate. Despite this, sending images of various formats remains available in the form of multimedia messages. New opportunities for exchanging data via cellular communications have somewhat reduced the popularity of MMS messages, however, they have not reduced it to zero. If communication services are unavailable or text messages are sent in larger sizes, MTS offers customers to use.
What does the service provide?
People communicate not only through instant messengers, but also multimedia messages. The MTS provider does not cancel the opportunity to use the data exchange service, but, on the contrary, offers you freedom of choice depending on the situation. Now you can send MMS messages in any convenient way:
- Free shipping from the official website of the company https://www.mts.ru.
- Quickly send messages of various formats using a home computer or tablet and receive them on the recipient’s smartphone.
- Messages inside the MMS-show service from MTS.
- Connecting a package at a minimal price.
This method of communication is still relevant. The MMS function is used not only for exchanging photo and video files, but also for guaranteed sending of text messages of a volume exceeding the permissible limit. In this case, SMS messages are automatically processed for sending as MMS.
Methods for setting up mms
If the multimedia message is not sent, and automatic settings were not sent when you turned on the phone, you should first check your mobile device to enable this function. Perhaps the parameters simply disappeared when the SIM card was disconnected, the phone was rebooted, or for another reason, so you will have to contact customer support for help or use other convenient methods.
You can configure mms from MTS using several methods:
- using the Internet assistant in the user’s personal account, where you can order multimedia settings, to do this you need to indicate your region, find the “Support” item, enter your phone number there, where the data for auto-tuning will be sent;
- by dialing the short telephone number 0876;
- by sending an empty SMS to the toll-free number 1234, after which a response message will be sent to your number with data for setting up mms on an MTS phone, which requires saving on a portable device;
- by visiting the nearest MTS office, where experienced employees will quickly set up any required functions; most importantly, do not forget to take your passport or any other identification document with you.
Similar steps should be taken if the multimedia message does not open on your mobile phone and is accompanied by a link to view the file in the internal operator gallery. But what to do in cases where these methods do not help set up MMS from the MTS operator. You will have to enter the information manually, and these parameters will be different for each mobile device.
Multimedia service capabilities
If you periodically resort to sending data in this way, then it is better to take advantage of special offers from MTS. The cost of such messages is somewhat more expensive than usual SMS messages. Wanting to save money, but not limit yourself to the number of messages, the provider offers to use the “MMS+” function. In this case, each subscriber receives:
- Possibility of exchanging files of standard and increased size even in the absence of Internet access;
- Convenient and fast data transfer;
- Transferring photos and videos when instant messengers and social networking applications are unavailable.
In any case, having such an opportunity on your phone will provide you with another way to communicate with your family and friends.
How to set up MMS?
In order for sending and receiving messages to work, certain parameters must be met. Make sure you have data transfer enabled as the file is downloaded via gprs traffic. Take your gadget and open the “Wireless Networks”, “Access Points” menu. If it already exists, then just check it is correct, if not, then create a new APN; on the IPhone the sequence will be slightly different: “Cellular data” - “Cellular data network”. Enter the following information in the fields that appear:
- Name: MTS MMC;
- APN: mms.mts.ru;
- Login: mts;
- Password: mts;
- MMSC: https://mmsc;
- MMS Proxy: 192.168.192.192;
- MMC port: 8080;
- WAP 2.0 protocol;
- MCC 250;
- MNC: 01;
- APN: mms.
If any line is missing in your phone, then it’s okay, if, on the contrary, there is an extra one, then just don’t fill it out. Do not leave any symbol there under any circumstances, as this will cause all existing settings to fail. On an iPhone, in addition to the existing lines, you also need to fill in the modem mode and APN for the Internet: internet.mts.ru . Next, restart your smartphone and check its functionality. This can be done for free by sending a text mms to 8890.
If you don't have time to tinker with manual settings, then order them automatically. Go to the operator’s official website in the “Help” section. In the window that opens, enter your phone number in federal format and click “Submit.” Configurations will be sent to your gadget, which you will need to accept and save. After receiving, you also need to reboot the device.

Add-on Features and Limitations
The principle of exchanging multimedia content is similar to that of instant messengers or social networks, but with its own characteristics:
- After sending a message, it goes to the operator’s dedicated WAP server.
- The message is divided into 2 parts: text and main, the sent file is attached to the latter.

Sending MMS is a separate service and is paid according to the tariff established by the operator. No money is charged for receiving a multimedia message.
The document must not exceed the size set by the mobile service provider, on average 300 KB when sent to numbers of other operators and 500 KB within the network (with a maximum allowed size of 999 KB). Such a message would contain:
