picture message service not available?

[Shashikant Sanghvi]

Has anyone else experienced this problem... When you try to send a picture message, no matter how many bars you've got, no matter how good 4G is working, no matter if your wifi is at full strength, the phone will not send a picture message. Well, not right away, at least. It says "Currently unable to send your message. Message will be sent when service becomes available".

I have used the standard SMS, and also am now on Handcent, with the same issue. Is there a setting I don't have correct? Are my pictures too large? I've turned the appropriate setting to downsize pictures. Help!

For anyone having this problem now because I know this is late. However, you need to turn on airplane mode. And send the picture to yourself in airplane mode which won't send. Then you turn airplane mode off and it will send. That fixed my problem!
