The invention discloses a method for forwarding multimedia messages (MMs) between different multimedia messaging service centers (MMSCs), comprising: a) an originator MMSC receiving a MM submitted by an originator terminal, then editing and generating a routing forward request message; b) the originator MMSC sending the routing forward request message generated in step a) to a recipient MMSC; c) the recipient MMSC returning a routing forward response message to the originator MMSC after receiving the routing forward request message; d) the recipient MMSC delivering the MM according to the MM related information contained in the routing forward request message; and e) the recipient MMSC generating a delivery report according to the current delivery status and sending it to the originator MMSC. With this invention, the problem is solved that the originator MMSC cannot exactly know whether the MM has been correctly delivered to the recipient terminal from the originator terminal under the condition the recipient terminal does not generate a delivery report in the process of MM forwarding.
