The receiving mobile communication terminal receiving the SMS message is connected to the MMS server by a user's operation, and the MMS client program is driven in the receiving mobile communication terminal. The MMS client program downloads the stored multimedia message from the MMS server. The downloaded multimedia message is displayed on the screen by the viewer program.

On the other hand, the multimedia messaging service (MMS) should provide the function so that the receiver can download or reject the stored multimedia message. To this end, in the prior art, the MMS server provides information for confirming the contents of the stored multimedia message to the receiving mobile communication terminal, whereby the receiver can determine whether to download the stored multimedia message. In this case, an MMS client program and an MMS message viewer program are driven in the receiving mobile communication terminal to display preview information of the received multimedia message on a screen and provide a menu for determining whether to download.

However, in the conventional technology, since two programs are simultaneously run in a mobile communication terminal with limited resources, a lot of time is spent checking basic information of a stored multimedia message, and a lot of time is required to process an unwanted multimedia message. There has been a problem in that it is consumed and provides inconveniences to users who use multimedia messaging services.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, the present invention is a mobile communication terminal to drive only the MMS message viewer program, to display the basic information message for the message stored in the MMS server on the screen, An object of the present invention is to provide an MMS message receiving method and a recording medium recording the same, by which a selection key included in the displayed basic information message can be downloaded or rejected.
