I cannot send a multimedia, MMS and PXT messages

What is a Multimedia, MMS and PXT message?

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a mobile messaging standard that allows users to send multimedia content—such as images, audio, and video—over a cellular network. It extends the basic SMS (Short Message Service) by supporting longer messages and rich media. MMS messages can include up to 40 seconds of video, one image or slideshow, and audio clips, with a typical size limit of 300KB. 

PXT is simply another name for MMS, commonly used by some mobile providers to refer to picture or multimedia messages. So, MMS, PXT, and multimedia messages are essentially the same thing—just different labels for the same service. 

These messages are useful when internet-based apps aren’t available, and they rely on mobile data for delivery.

You will need to ensure that your phone is capable of sending multimedia messages, and also that the phone you're sending the message to is capable of receiving MMS messages.

These services are not considered standard text messages and therefore there will be casual rates charged for each MMS message sent.

It also pays to make sure the Access point details are set up with the correct details to send a MMS. The access point details that you will need are located [1]here.

To configure your phone for multimedia messages or for instructions on how you can send one from your phone, please refer to your mobile's instruction manual.
