Vodafone has now officially confirmed that MMS will be completely disabled “from the end of January 2023”. The provider writes that the technology that was launched about 20 years ago is outdated and users today send photos and videos almost exclusively through messengers like WhatsApp.
The situation is different with SMS, which moreover is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary. “SMS will accompany us in the cosmos of short messages for many years. It is simply too simple and remains essential, in particular for double authentication of access to online services or as a notification service for mailbox messages. letters,” says Tanja. Richter, technical manager at Vodafone.
