Customer Reviews
Excellent low-level descriptions of the MMS protocols
The books explains in detail message format and protocols, network element of MMS messages. A must-have for anyone who is into MMS application development.
Good, but incomplete
A good overview of SMS from the protocol side--but seems to miss handset integration. If your question was "how does the handset receive an out of band message?" you wouldn't find it here.
