How to Send an MMS with Java

What's this blog post about?

Twilio allows developers to send MMS using Java, making it easy and fast to deliver messages without needing to use their mobile device. To get started, you'll need a free or paid Twilio account, some prior knowledge of Java, and a smartphone with active service. You can purchase a Twilio phone number from the Twilio Console, select your country, and check if MMS is available for that region. Once you have your account credentials set up, you can use the Twilio Java helper library to send an MMS by creating a file named SendMMS.java and pasting in some code that initializes the Twilio client and creates a new message instance with the recipient's phone number and a media URL. After saving and compiling the file, you can run it on your terminal to send the MMS.
