There are many ways to send photos from your Windows Phone, such as through email, chat apps, photo-sharing apps, OneDrive, OneNote, BlueTooth transfer... and one of them is through MMS - is this what you're referring to as "multimedia messages"? If yes, then you should check with your mobile service provider regarding the availability of this service, since this service is sometimes withheld by the mobile service provider by default to prevent incurring unwanted charges.

MMS (picture text) requires cellular data, not WiFi.

Also, search "<carrier name> MMS settings" and save that page or write down the values.

On the phone go to Settings > cellular + SIM > SIM settings > edit MMS APN > make sure the values match the ones found in your search
