mms.att.net is for any message containing some type of media beyond text
(JPG image, video, etc.)  The other AT&T gateway is txt.att.net which
handles straight text and uses the base SMS system meaning a 3G/4G GSM
data link is not required, only base cellular signal.  The MMS gateway
requires the receiving phone to have its GSM data link up to receive the
media portion of the message (signalling occurs by the SMS cellular
baseband and then a handoff to the GSM link occurs to transfer the
message data.)

I use the txt.att.net gateway all the time to forward critical event
messages (e.g. apcupsd power loss messages) and specific types of email
alerts filtered and rerouted by procmail.
