Again I can only speculate from my limited need and use of MMS in different 3 Country's.
quick guess here is that they send the initial special sms (some very old phones will show it in the usual sms inbox, i have seen it myself), then if its not reacted to within some timeframe, a normal sms will be sendt, pointing the user towards a telco run web page where the mms can be accessed...
