BSNL goodbye to MMS

With the advent of instant messengers like whatsapp, viber, hike, line, etc. now sending photos, videos, voice notes has become very convenient and platforms like MMS have become obsolete. BSNL has sent out notification SMS to its subscribers informing them that BSNL will no longer be supporting MMS and that subscribers can manually edit their APN settings and select BSNLNET for accessing mobile internet on their phones. We may soon witness a similar move by private operators as well.
