Sending, receiving MMS messages with short codes

We support sending and receiving picture messages between Twilio US Short Codes and major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint). The majority of our short codes also support MMS over US Cellular, but there are a small subset of short codes that do not. Twilio does not currently support MMS on Short Codes in any other countries.

Notice: Google Voice and other providers not listed above do not currently support MMS to/from Short Codes.

Customers applying for a new short code can indicate that they want MMS on the application; existing Short Code customers can have MMS added to their short code by contacting their account manager. Adding MMS to a short code costs a one-time fee of $500.

Short Code provisioning can vary considerably depending primarily on the time that it takes for mobile carriers to review and approve your short code. On average, short code provisioning takes 6 - 10 weeks from the time that you make your initial payment to when the short code is live on major carriers, but in some cases can take longer.
