Verizon Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) settings for Verizon for Android devices and iPhones. To successfully send MMS messages, ensure that you have set Verizon APN, have an active Verizon data plan, and are within Verizon network coverage. Verizon has one of the widest network coverage in the United States so network coverage should not be an issue.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) Was developed based on SMS technologies in the early 2000s. MMS can send pictures, short videos, and audio files using cellular networks. To successfully do this, you need to set up MMS settings on your device. MMS is gradually being replaced by Rich Communications Service (RCS) on Android devices and iMessage on Apple devices.
