Note on Provisioning for MMS:
Unless your primary number is provisioned for both SMS and MMS, all picture and video messages will be sent from a
separate MMS-enabled short code by default. Provisioning a dedicated short code for MMS can add an additional 2
months to the process. Toll-free numbers come pre-provisioned for MMS.
