Perhaps they want you to set the correct MMS settings.

First, verify your APN settings in your SMS app, whichever app you are using. Your carrier's website should have the correct settings listed.
One of those settings is the max size of data allowed in the individual message. Often this is something fairly low, like 600 KB.
If your picture is bigger than that limit, you will need to resize the image down to that size then send the small version.
