This crap is super-old-style and in no way advanced. MMS is turned off in a majority of countries in the world for years. This crap never gained traction outside the US. And this is 20 years back.

I asked chatgpt.
Is it true that MMS service has been disabled in most countries?
Yes, it's true that MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) has been gradually disabled or limited in some countries, particularly in regions where newer technologies and messaging apps have become more widely adopted.
While MMS was once popular for sending images, videos, and audio via mobile networks, many users now rely on internet-based services like WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and other messaging apps. These apps often offer better quality and more features, which has led to a decline in MMS usage.
Some mobile carriers in certain countries have either reduced support for MMS or completely phased it out, especially with the rise of 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi-based communication methods. However, in many regions, MMS is still available but may be less commonly used.
In short, while MMS isn't entirely gone, its use has dropped significantly in many places due to the popularity of internet-based alternatives.
So, not the majority of countries.
