Adding a photo to a text message?

[Carl Muir]

This might be a complete n00b question but when I try to add a photo from my albums to a text message, it bounces back with "Cant send message, try again"

Am I missing something? I can text till my hearts content...just not pictures?

On my HTC 8X

Did you turn on data?? I noticed that I have to.

Text only is SMS and uses a carrier channel on the phone signal. Adding images, video, etc. turns it into an MMS which uses data so you must have a data signal active to send that. Also there could be an issue with the local server MMS data routes through on that specific carrier, but that's hard to tell.
