Cannot send sms picture messages unless mobile network is enabled

[Whatah#AC]

Wife has a Pantech Crossover. AT&T carrier.

Smallest data plan, She mainly uses the internet just under wireless networks.

Since she only has about 2 days before her billing cycle resets last night she turned on her mobile networks so she could check something.

The moment she did so all of her SMS messages with image attachments she had been "sending" over the last month actually sent.

One of her coworkers said she has the same issue, when mobile data network is disabled SMS with media attachments (pics) are not actually sent.

Is this an AT&T issue? Is this how all android phones work?

Can someone suggest a free app that can get an android phone that is connected to wireless and phone service (no mobile data service) to send picture messages via SMS?

That's how all phones work. if she wants to send someone a picture, either email it or you have to be connected to mobile data.

This is true. Picture use data and they were kept in the que to be sent out. Send them via e-mail. You use to be able to send it to someone's via an email account associated with the cell phone number. 7135551212@carriername.com.

Try WhatsApp - it still uses data but it runs through the internet so your pics can be sent via wifi (instead of mobile data).
