Send a picture as MMS instead of iMessage?

[Pokernut]

For some reason when I try and send a picture on iMessage it takes forever, like 2-3 minutesto go through. When I used to send a picture as a MMS it was fairly instant. Is there a way to switch back to sending pics as MMS instead of using iMessage?

Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot decide unless you turn iMessage off from under Settings --> Messages.
