Take the phone to your carrier for help. Text messaging certainly does allow insertion of picture files. (You're limited to 300k, though - if the file is larger, the text won't send. If that's the case, email it (the limit there is 25MB), or put it up on a file-sharing site (like a public folder on your cloud account) and text the URL for the picture.
