SMS stands for Short Message Service, and refers to the sending of short text messages from one device to another; in most cases from one mobile phone to another. The size of an SMS text message is restricted to 160 characters.

MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service. MMS is an expansion of the SMS format that is able to send larger quantities of information per individual message. In practical terms, this means that there are no character restrictions on MMS messages, and also that a variety of multimedia content types; including video, images and audio can be sent using MMS.
