Windows Central Question

Email comes with attachment, I do not use data to phone provider only WiFi.
Does this mean I have to buy non windows phone ?

No, on WP you need to enable mobile data to receive MMS. I'm not sure why this is but that's the way to resolve it.

Needing cellular data for MMS is not unique to Windows Phone. MMS is a carrier side function.

You may want to explore alternate messaging services that allow pictures to be sent.
