Mobile operators provide the following value added service:- MMS, Voice SMS, Contest Service, Interactive Media, M-commerce, Missed Call Alert, Multimedia services, Mobile Marketing, M-search, Music, Phone back up, Ring Back Tone. This paper makes an attempt to understand the attitude of the people from different fields towards the MMS in terms of Prestige, Fun, Blackmailing, Quick sharing, and Promotional campaign.
