More specifically, you can send a message to E-mail. In return, you will lose a fee to be able to use this service. Currently almost all carriers support MMS service, though it is no longer used by many people. Operators Viettel, Vinaphone, Mobifone, Vietnamobile also supports users to send MMS with very cheap fees (ranging from 1000-2000 VND / 1 MMS).

SMS is the abbreviation for Short Message Services which means Short Message Service.
