PURPOSE: A method for checking reception of a multimedia message service is provided to allow a sender to recognize that a high-priced MMS(Multimedia Message Service) message is properly transferred to a receiver through a relatively low-priced SMS(Short Message Service). CONSTITUTION: When a transmission terminal(10) provides a multimedia message and its phone number to an MMSC(Multimedia Message Service Center)(20), the MMSC(20) stores the corresponding information. A reception terminal(30), namely, a destination of the multimedia message, is informed of the data reception through an SMS. The reception terminal(30) is connected with the MMSC(20) to check the corresponding message. A short message informing that the reception terminal has checked the received message is provided to the transmission terminal(10).
