They should fix the picture message things I would like to send a picture without turning on the cellular data

I feel like I should be able to sit at home and send a picture without turning on my cellular data.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2

If you are connected to a wi-fi network, you can send an iMessage with a photo or video without having to use cellular data.


Regular text messages (SMS) are exchanged via your carrier's cellular network - the same network as calls. Data is not required.


Picture messages (MMS) are exchanged via your carrier's cellular data or internet network.


This will not be fixed since there is nothing to fix.
