MMS Access Manager

Customers can use the MMS Access Manager service to send and receive large volumes of multimedia messages using their own MMS application to directly access the Telstra MMS network.  Using this technology, bulk MMS messages, such as video, audio, images & text, can be managed in an efficient, easy and cost effective way.

The MMS Access Manager service can be connected using HTTPS, Internet VPN or for customers who already have the SMS Access Manager product, via their existing Frame Relay connection.  In addition, customers can choose to receive delivery reports or personalise their messages with the use of alpha ‘from’ addresses*.

MMS Access Manager can be used in a number of ways to improve productivity. This could be by efficiently sending large volumes of MMS messages or by receiving bulk incoming messages in response to a consumer competition.

* Delivery reports are not available where an alpha sender has been used to send the message, and we may not be able to track a MMS message sent to another carrier’s network.

MMS Access Manager can help to increase your company’s productivity, saving you time and money:

Here’s what you get:

• Easier and quicker - to generate and send MMS messages from a customised application, rather than a standard handset 
• High throughput levels - enable efficient submission of high volumes of MMS messages 
• Competitive volume based pricing structure
• Direct access to the Telstra MMS network
• A range of access options designed to create the most productive messaging solution
• Send and receive large volumes of MMS messages across Telstra networks and other networks.
• Keep track of your messages with the delivery report function - this allows you to choose to be notified when your MMS message reaches its final state 
• Two-way messaging capability - the current arrangement for MMS interconnect enables a reply path from handsets on all networks.

MMS Access Manager can be used in a number of ways to improve productivity.  It can be used for business and consumer communication - including permission marketing, consumer competitions and content provisioning.

Take the example of a large corporate motor racing event. The content provider could send value added content such as pictures of drivers to patrons at the race track.  MMS Access Manager could help save your business time while minimising costs.
