Sharing ideas, feelings, pictures. And today, customers of Sprint (NYSE: FON) and T‑Mobile USA, Inc. are able to communicate with more people than ever before, thanks to an agreement that enables picture messaging exchanges between subscribers. It's called Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) interoperability. It allows T‑Mobile and Sprint customers to send and receive picture messages across carriers. In other words, the world of communication just got larger. "Sprint continuously looks for ways to enhance Sprint PCS Picture Mail service to make it easier and more convenient for its customers to share, print, store, manage and display digital images," said Pierre Barbeau, general manager Picture Mail, Sprint. "Picture sharing interoperability with T‑Mobile helps our customers stay better connected to their friends and family." "This is just another way T‑Mobile is enhancing how customers communicate," said Michael Gallelli, director of product management for T‑Mobile USA, Inc. "T‑Mobile's customers want to expand their communications world by allowing more people -- regardless of wireless provider -- to receive their text, instant and picture messages." The MMS interoperability for Sprint is made possible by VeriSign through its LightSurf GX-MMS service. LightSurf GX-MMS service helps operators enable MMS traffic to more customers through a completely hosted and managed service. Sprint and T‑Mobile support a wide selection of picture message-enabled phones.
