Not receiving texts without wifi

I have an iPhone 4 and an ipad, synced for iMessage and such. When I iMessage somebody through my phone, and leave the house, I don't get the text until I have wifi again (I don't have cellular data). I used to be able to, not anymore. And when I text somebody without wifi, I don't get a response until I have wifi again. Please help!!!

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3, Mac OSX Lion

I am having the same problem sending text messages to my daughter on her Iphone 5S. She has shut off the cellular data, as she will be traveling internationally. Do I need to shut off MMS Messaging on my iPhone for her to receive my text? Or if both SMS and MMS are on, will it be sent as both?
