Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for causing a first multimedia messaging service center (MMSC) on a home network to communicate a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message to a second MMSC on a foreign network, the MMS message being modified to conform to multimedia-messaging parameters of a recipient mobile device. A query is issued by the first MMSC to the second MMSC to obtain one or more multimedia-messaging parameters of the recipient mobile device. The parameters include characteristics of the recipient mobile device and subscription details as well as parameters set by the foreign network. The first MMSC modifies the MMS message to conform to the parameters and communicates the modified MMS message to the second MMSC. The second MMSC delivers the MMS message to the recipient or provides a failed-delivery notification to the first MMSC. A reason for the failed delivery might also be indicated.

The SIP server has a session data system that receives the session request having the session segment identifier and not the SDP data set. The session data system responsively authorizes the session request and transfers a session instruction having the session segment identifier. The signaling data system receives the session instruction having the session segment identifier and responsively identifies the SDP data set with the session segment identifier and transfers a second SIP message having the SDP data set.
