An arrangement for testing a mobile telecommunications network is described. To test whether the network is operating correctly to allow the successful transmission of a picture in the form of an MMS, a test data packet is generated by an emulator (step A). This is passed to an element WSB of the mobile telecommunications network (steps B,C) and a determination is made (step D) as to whether the test data packet is indeed a test data packet or a "normal" data packet associated with an MMS. If it is determined that it is a test data packet, it is then determined by WSB whether the test data packet is for testing the WSB or some other element (steps G,H). If it is determined that the data packet is for the element WSB, an error report is generated and sent to the emulator (steps I,J). The error report can include any information useful to the emulator for determining whether the WSB is operated correctly. <IMAGE> |
