Vodafone to offer interoperable SMS in Netherlands

Mobile services provider Vodafone claims it is providing a "first" to Dutch mobile users in offering SMS and MMS interoperability with all three other Dutch mobile operators. Through the newly-launched service, customers can send MMS messages directly to and receive MMS messages from KPN network users; the network's interoperability with Telfort and T-Mobile began earlier this year.

"Vodafone customers can use the camera on their Vodafone live! handset to take pictures. They can add text and/or sound and send the result as an MMS message to other Vodafone live! customers. Now it is also possible for Vodafone customers to view MMS messages from KPN customers directly on their mobile and send them MMS messages in return."
