The large interworking coverage is made available trough :

With the rapid expansion of the mobile community in terms of subscribers, networks and technologies, making MMS a truly global service with user experience similar to international voice calling has become a complex issue which many mobile and fixed operators consider to outsource.

The service model is built on the traditional interco business models and is supported by the same high level of service, quality and futureproof as other Belgacom ICS carrier products.
