Media Options
There are 2 options for MMS delivery exclusively available on touchSMS – Send via MMS or Send via SMS
Send via MMS – this will deliver your actual image along with up to 4000 characters of text to each of your recipients. Each MMS is charged at 25c AUD.
Send via SMS – this will convert your uploaded image to a clickable short link and add it to your message content. You can then add details of your offer or promotion to the message content also. Standard SMS charges apply when using Send via SMS.

This short line of text (up to 40 characters) will appear at the top of your text message in bold when your MMS is delivered. It’s a great way to highlight your offer or brand your message. This is a mandatory field.
