To navigate the landscape of SMS marketing successfully, it is crucial to understand the differences between SMS and MMS, as well as the importance of complying with 10DLC (10 Digit Long Code) regulations.
SMS refers to the standard text messaging format, allowing for the exchange of short text-based messages between mobile devices. These messages are limited to 160 characters and typically consist of plain text. SMS is widely supported by all mobile carriers and devices, making it a reliable and accessible communication method. In contrast, MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. Unlike SMS, MMS allows for the transmission of multimedia content, including images, videos, audio files, and longer text messages. MMS messages can be more visually engaging and interactive, providing businesses with the opportunity to create richer and more immersive marketing experiences for their audience.
