It'll work if I'm connected to wifi and sending through an imessage, but it doesn't allow me to send a picture through actual "text". How do I fix this?
iPhone 5
MMS requires a cellular data connection.

My phone isn't disconnected, everything else works on my phone, just not the picture messages
Can you surf the web or use any apps that require data when not on Wi-Fi?
Yes, everything works. It's literally just the pictures that won't go through. It'll say it's sending for an hour or two and then it'll say the message failed to send.

IF the link provided doesn't help then contact your cell phone provider as MMS is a carrier feature.
Had this problem too with Iphone 5s after ios7 update. Researched and found this advice which worked for me:
Reset Network Settings.
"Settings", "General" go to the bottom and select: "Reset", "Reset Network Settings".
It then will reset, reboot and if as mine, will work fine afterwards.
not sure what carrier you are using but i use straighttalk and had same issue....here is how i resolved it
1. delete any profiles you have saved settings>general>profile delete if you see profile there if not go to step 2
2. turn on wifi (my internet was also not working)
3. open safari
4. type iapnupdatetfdata.straighttalk.com
5. download profile
6. turn off wifi
7. turn off phone
8. turn on phone
my internet and pictures worked after this, any user, any carrier, no issues....hope this is helpful!
