Abstract

SMS (short message service) is a popular service for transferring and exchange of short text messages between mobile phones. MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is another technology in mobile phones for creating, sending, receiving and storing messages that include text, images, audio and video clips. But MMS is not available in some countries. So, we cannot send images in those countries by mobile phones. In this paper, we present a method for solving this problem. In this method, the image is converted to a text file by using Base64 encoding and it is sent through several SMS messages.
