One of the things that I have just received recently is that, somehow,
the network detected that I had a phone that was not able to receive a
MMS. It just sent me a text message with a web address in it to
retrieve it. This implementation is not too good as it immediacy of
SMS is lost.
iirc, thats how mms works. it sends a special kind of sms that a mms
enabled device will pick up on. said sms points to a wap server that
hands out the mms to the phone.
at least thats my experience when getting a mms on a "very" old phone.
another option is that if a mms failes to be picked up within a set
number of days (or something like that), the mobile service provider
will send a sms telling you to go to their webpage to read your mms. i
know mine have done so in the past. even to a phone i had that was fully
mms enabled.
but then im not up to speed on the mms specs and design. this is purely
personal experience...
