MMS Beeline: how to set up the service and view messages - find out!

MMS cannot be called the most popular service from mobile operators. But sometimes it is the only way to send multimedia files to another subscriber. MMS has many advantages - you don’t need to upload files to hosting and file sharing services, you don’t need to worry about email addresses. Simply enter the recipient's phone number and the files are on their way. MMS is an ideal tool for sending videos and photos to friends and family.

Via MMS you can send not only photos and videos, but also many other files, for example, audio recordings. The main thing is that the total size of all transferred files does not exceed 500 KB - this is the limit on the maximum size of MMS messages. You also need to understand that the receiving subscriber’s phone must be able to receive MMS and have the appropriate settings on board. Otherwise, he will receive a link to view the received message from his computer. In addition, MMS can be sent to an email address, but the return message will end in failure.

MMS delivery time in the Beeline network is limited to 72 hours. You can send MMS from Beeline to phones of any Russian operators . MMS are also sent abroad, but not every recipient operator supports this service. In addition, some operators limit the MMS size to 300 KB. In this review, we will look at all the issues related to setting up MMS on Beeline and figure out how this multimedia service works.

More about the opportunity

MMS is a unique correspondence format available to all subscribers of Beeline and other providers. As an attachment, the consumer is able to attach a photograph, picture, or audio recording of a limited size. Despite the rapid development of social networks and instant messengers, this method of communication continues to be popular among users. It is suitable for congratulating a loved one on a holiday, sending him a bright postcard or telling him some news.

Let's look at the features of the service and its characteristics:

1. You can write an MMS to any region of the Russian Federation, as well as beyond its borders.
2. The consumer must pay to provide the offer. Funds are debited automatically after sending. Tariffing depends on the tariff plan installed on the SIM card.
3. The size of the sent file is limited. The content should not exceed 500 kilobytes, and the text content should not exceed 1000 characters.
4. The function works abroad, in international roaming conditions. The provider guarantees high-quality communications in more than 50 countries.
5. The maximum duration for MMS delivery to the recipient is 72 hours. If the recipient is outside the Beeline cellular network and is unable to receive the letter, it is automatically canceled after a specified time.

Management Rules

After the MMS service is activated and all parameters are adjusted, you can use its functions. In order to transfer a file, find the “Send MMS” item in your phone. Most phones have a function for auto-detecting the type of message, so you just attach an element and write the text, and the system itself will send it like an MMS. To ensure the successful completion of the operation, you can set notifications about the result in the settings.

Until recently, it was possible to send MMS via the Internet, from the Beeline website. However, Beeline has now disabled this option. So now, to use the service via a computer, only third-party services are available. It is better to choose verified ones from among them, otherwise the phone number may end up in the spam database.

If you receive an MMS with unconfigured parameters, an SMS will be sent instead; using the link located inside, you can receive the file. So, for convenience, it is advisable that both subscribers have the correct configuration installed, then they can view the content directly from the phone.

How to open a message with attachments on your phone

If you receive an MMS message, you can view the attachment just like a regular SMS. Sometimes, instead of a file, the user receives a notification with a link to an external resource. Causes:

• the recipient has an outdated cell phone model that does not support the function;
• MMS service is not installed on the SIM card;
• The mobile device is not configured to work correctly.

In this case, to open the message, you will have to follow the link in the attachment. The content will be posted on the official portal of the Beeline company – mms.beeline.ru. You are only allowed to view the parcel once; after viewing, the message will be automatically deleted from the service.

Let's sum it up

Despite not being in great demand, the MMS service is still relevant. After all, a situation may arise when the supply of Internet traffic has already been exhausted, and there is simply not enough money on the balance to order a new package of megabytes. Then you can send a photo or a short video by message, however, you need to set up your phone before doing this.

Ordering MMS settings and connecting to the service itself are free and will take a little time. If you can’t set automatic parameters, you can do it manually. All data for this is on the operator’s official website, where you can also order auto-tuning.

If communication with the subscriber through such messages occurs regularly, then it is necessary that he also set parameters for himself, this will make it possible to view the content directly from his device.

Why may they not be sent?

When sending MMS from Android or iPhone, the user may experience problems. Let's look at the most popular reasons why a message is not sent:

1. The MMS service is not activated on the cell phone and the system settings have not been completed.
2. The user does not comply with the operator's restrictions; the content size exceeds the established norm. For the internal network, the quota is 500 kilobytes, while for other providers it is 350 kilobytes.
3. The subscriber entered the recipient's contact information incorrectly.
4. The recipient's mobile device is faulty, turned off, or out of range of the network. MMS is stored for 72 hours, after which it is deleted.
5. The user's smartphone has airplane mode active, which blocks cellular communications and data transmission.

If any problems arise, contact technical support or visit a communication shop.
