Inbound Roamer Multimedia Messaging Systems ("IRMMS") are described that
transfer Welcome Multimedia Messages ("MM") ("WMM") or Welcome Roaming
Content ("WRC") to devices of inbound roamers. The IRMMS transfers MMs to
inbound roamers without involving components of the corresponding home
network (HPMN). The MMs include text messages, music clips, voice clips,
video clips, photographs, and drawings, but are not so limited. Use of
the IRMMS eliminates payment by a VPMN with which a subscriber is roaming
to the subscriber's HPMN because components of the HPMN are not included
in the transfer of the MMs. Thus, charges typically incurred by the VPMN
for transmission of free WMM/WRC sent to the inbound roamer via the HPMN
are avoided.
