Hey guys I'm so frustrated right now, I have the verizon iphone4 wich I love!! okay here is my problem. Everytime I try to send a MMS message or a SMS message with a picture from my camera roll "HDR" quality it takes like 5 minutes to send then shoots me a red exclamation point saying "message send failure".. everytime .. Do you guys know why it might do this?? Thanks so much!

Its a good idea to first check if that kind of sending is possible with Iphone4
Check network as well.
 
My wifes phone has thw same problem(we are with att).. We spent a few hrs on the phone with att reps and finally found the solution. She has a problem sending mms when wifi is turned on. She has to turn wifi off and reboot and then it works. The att rep told me there should be a fix soon. I think the iphone is trying to send the pic message thru wifi but mms is sent over the network. Try turning wifi off and rebooting and see if that works

My GSM i4 sends MMS fine even when Im connected to wifi. MMS never goes thru wifi, it uses carrier data.
Its probably an isolated issue with your phone.
To the OP I'd call verizon and have them troubleshoot it. Maybe some setting needs to be turned on with your account on their end.
 
Update- turned off wi- fi and did the reboot ... It sent! I'll have to play around with it and see what the deal is the phone is less than a month old and I have unlimited everything on my verizon account so ... Hmmm mysteries

Not all iphones have this probel, my iphone works fine when im connected to wifi, but my wifes does not. S3he has to have wifi off for her to send mms.
