Is this a known restriction? Other carriers apparently require data to be turned on for MMS to be downloaded. Is it also true for Verizon?
I have no problem w/ texts/SMS via WiFi, just with MMS.
Then how come my wife gets SMS on her dumbhone with no problem when she has no data?

Oops, I meant MMS.

But if you block data on the line, you won't have data capabilities. So if the OP wants to test it with his wife's dumbphone he can block data on her line and then send her an MMS.
You don't block data on a dumbphone. You block data on the line that has a dumbphone on it.
You do this by logging into verizon online and selecting her device. Over to the left will be the option to block services. Select it and block data on her line.
B/c he said his wife could receive MMS fine on her dumbphone line that didn't even have a data plan so he didn't understand how MMS could require data if she could receive them.
If he blocks data on her line and tries to send her an MMS, she won't be able to receive them.
