Intrigue? You’ve read the title right, ebooktechie.com is the mobile ebook guide for the new generation of bookworms and don’t want to mislead readers for the sake of SEO (search engine optimization).

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is the evolution of Short Message Service (SMS, which is a text-only messaging technology for mobile networks). It allows the sending and receiving of multimedia messages such as graphics, video and audio clips. It has been designed to work with mobile packet data services such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service).

File size – MMS has file size limitation of 100kb for older GPRS capable models and 300kb for S60 current models. We should know the recipient’s phone capability in able to send files via MMS otherwise he will just receive a blank MMS

File – MMS allows sending and receiving graphics, video and audio clips. How about other files such as games, application, themes, ebooks etc? It is possible with a simple trick.

In able to send mobile ebooks via MMS is by renaming the file type by using third party file manager like FExplorer. To avoid recipient’s confusion and to send other files other than graphics, video and audio, the best way is to have the file compressed to zip or rar, just make sure the recipient has compression tool like winrar or any file compression tool installed on his phone to open the file. It is really possible to send eBook via MMS.

Another way is by sending it using mmsIt mobile application which I will be discussing soon.
