1. A method of testing multimedia messaging service (MMS) messaging capacity of a wireless network and performed by a multimedia messaging service center (MMSC) of the wireless network, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of seed MMS messages from one or more client devices, wherein each of the plurality of seed MMS messages is targeted at one of a plurality of destination numbers, wherein none of the plurality of destination numbers is associated with any database that the MMSC uses for routing determination, wherein each of the plurality of seed MMS messages gets stuck in a respective infinite loop of a plurality of infinite loops associated with the plurality of seed MMS messages, and keeps generating MMS messages;
capturing at least a portion of the seed MMS messages and the generated MMS messages;
determining that a number of captured MMS messages reaches a predetermined threshold; and
in response to determining that the number of captured MMS messages reaches the predetermined threshold, terminating each infinite loop of the plurality of infinite loops.
