If your Intercept is a Virgin Mobile one, then you have to pay xtra to send attachments (emails,doc & pics) by way of SMS. If you are using a custom rom on it, then you may need to check the settings either in your picture app (if not stock) or in the SMS app. If the size limit settings are restricting how large an attachment can be sent, that can be a problem too. My old man's Intercept ( VM ) sent & received pics, but I had to play with the settings before it did. If you can, you may want to think about an upgrade to the Optimus or better, It has a better camera, better support, better everything. My old man's Intercept couldn't do the job anymore and now enjoys life in a junk drawer. Just a thought! Samsung Intercept has it's own forum, so you may find helpful info there. Good Luck.
