A multimedia message service center and telecommunication device for
accessing deposited multimedia messages. The forwarding and receipt of
multimedia messages transmitted in networks that are configured for the
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) independent of the communication
between the networks and the infrastructure and the topology of the
respective network from any transmitter to any addressee. A dial-in
information (EWI) is indirectly or directly sent to the telecommunication
device in addition to a communication message (MN) sent indirectly or
directly e.g. via a short message center and/or an additional multimedia
message center to the telecommunication device (ETKG) in response to a
multimedia message (MMN) destined for a telecommunication device (ETKG)
and deposited in the multimedia message center (MMNDZ). This dial-in
information (EWI) tells the telecommunication device where to dial in to
be able to access the multimedia message (MMN) addressed to the
telecommunication device. The telecommunication device then accesses, in
accordance with the dial information (EWI), the multimedia message
service center (MMNDZ) or a depository (HLS) associated with the
