Frequently Asked Questions
An MMS text message is any message that either exceeds the 160-character limit or includes other media such as a picture or video. An MMS marketing campaign can include a picture text, a video text, a text message with an animated GIF, or a written text message that's too long for SMS.
Sending an MMS message costs 3 credits. While an SMS message may cost less at 1 credit per message, it’s worth considering your business, your products, and your strategy when considering sending an MMS versus an SMS — humans are visual by nature and adding an image or video consistently drives more engagement.
You can upload a JPG, GIF, PNG, WAV, MP3, 3GP, or MP4 file. If you would like to upload an MP4 (video) file it is important to make sure that the size of it is no larger than 5MB. It’s often best to send links to video files as larger files attached to messages will not be sent. MMS files can be chosen from our royalty free Shutterstock image library, photos or video taken by a mobile device, or files uploaded from your computer.
SMS messages are shorter and better suited for alerts, notifications, and other brief messaging, whereas the visual power of MMS is perfectly suited for dazzling your audience with product shots, new car models at an auto dealer, and any instance where you really want people to take notice. For more, see our article SMS vs. MMS: What’s the Difference?.
That all depends on the number of messages you plan to send. One SMS message costs 1 credit, while one MMS message costs 3 credits. If you know how many opted-in contacts you have, simply multiply by three for the rough cost of sending one MMS message. Want to send multiple MMS messages in a campaign? Simply multiply the new number by the number of messages you plan to send.
Absolutely! We offer a number of colorful, free MMS templates that you can use to add some kick to your messages. You’ll find MMS templates for “thank you,” birthday, and holiday messaging at our MMS templates page.
