Single short code could save MMS

Until now any content provider which wanted to attract input from cameraphone users had to jump through hoops to get people to use MMS. At CeBIT, conVISUALannounced that it can offer one short code to provide access for both text (SMS) and MMS messages. The Inquirer reports.

"In essence, if you were a TV station - for example - and wanted to let viewers send in the silly photos they'd taken, you'd probably have given out an email address. Now they can send the photos to a shortcode - usually a 5 digit number - no matter which German network they are on."
