Thank you. I did try that, but I keep getting "Message failed to send". I'll call the person. Maybe something is wrong with their phone. Thanks again.

Who is your carrier? Who is the recipient's carrier? Are these messages SMS (green) or iMessage (blue). If they are SMS, in addition to lobsterghost1's suggestion that there may be a size limit, there may also be a file type restriction. My carrier, Verizon, does not allow texts to be sent over SMS/MMS.
