What is the error you are getting when you try to send a picture?

Are you able to send a plain message to the account in question?

Is the phone your trying to send a picture on the Verizon Network or a different phone network?

Yes I can send regular text, its on Verizon. Does it matter if I'm on Wi-Fi

or not?

It might. Try sending the same picture to the same phone number through the Verizon Network. It should say something about the picture being too big and need to resize it before sending. I am not sure if that resizing is happening while on WiFi or not.

Tried sending without wifi no luck. Could it be a 3g problem?

I am not sure at this point. You might want to call Verizon Customer Service and see if there is something going on with either your account, or the other persons account.

Hello bigdaddydave,

I know it must be aggravating not being able to send MMS (picture) messages.  I would like to assist you with resolving the issue.

First, thanks to curtterp for the great feedback & suggestions.

If you're still unable to send MMS messages, please reach out to me directly so I can further investigate.

Thanks,

I had the same problem and fixed it by going into:

settings, wireless & networks "more", mobile networks, then you need to "enable" data access over Mobile networks

It will then have a check mark on "data enabled"

After I did that I immediately was able to send and receive MMS.
