More and more clients are now integrating the ability to send MMS to their users. The biggest usage is as an auto-responder - send in a text or an mms to request something and have it sent straight back as an MMS. I think what small businesses are realising more and more is that delivering something simple back via a wapsite is tedious; for them to build in the first place and then for the user experience in trawling through several screens to collect the item. Sending back an MMS, now it works across the board, is simple and easy.
