5.0 out of 5 stars The reference book in mobile messaging technologies, February 7, 2003 By         FREDERIC VILLAIN (Paris, FRANCE) - See all my reviews

Don't know what mobile messaging is about ? Read the first chapter and you will feel more comfortable about it ! You're an engineer in mobile communications but you lack expertise in EMS and MMS ? Go for this book !

To put it shortly, Le Bodic's book is first an excellent introduction to mobile messaging and then turns into a great reference manual for all those who work in this promising field. It is a must have !

I particularly liked the way he turned the boring "standardization" stuff into clear figures and tables. Le Bodic made 3GPP litterature accessible and that was quite a challenge !!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read..., July 15, 2007 By         T. Leland (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mobile Messaging Technologies and Services: SMS, EMS and MMS (Hardcover) 
I would recommend this book to anybody who needs a survey level knowledge of MMS/SMS. I think it also has value for developers who want to better understand the whole ecosystem and not just their more narrow area of expertise. The quality of the descriptions were excellent, particulary when tables were used to simplify and contrast the relevant messaging profiles and specifications. If I had one complaint, it was that a bit too much detail was provided on the evolution of the standards, rather than using those pages to provide more use cases and detailed flow charts.

          4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of SMS and MMS technology, March 3, 2009 By         The Agnostic Sheep - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mobile Messaging Technologies and Services: SMS, EMS and MMS (Hardcover) 
A really good technical introduction to SMS and MMS technology. Explains in easy to understand terms how SMS works, what protocols are involved etc... The author currently works for Airwide, one of the 2 main players in the SMSC space, so he knows his stuff.
