Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send an email address

ERROR: iPhone 5 "Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address."


DESCRIPTION: When attempting to use my new iPhone 5 (unlocked on T-Mobile) to text to a new iPod email address (on a home WiFi to a Hotmail account), I get the above error message. I am able to send and receive text messages (SMS) to mobile phone numbers. I have iMessage enabled and am using iOS 6.0.2. What is the fix? Thanks.


REQUEST: Apple please produce an iPhone with a five inch screen in order to compete successfully with Samsung. 🙂
