Before going further, how Do You Know iPhone Won't Send Picture Messages Using iMessage or Regular Text Messages?
Whenever you send or receive a text or picture message on your iPhone, it is sent as a regular text message or as an iMessage. In the messaging app, the iMessages you send appear as blue bubbles while the text messages you send appear in green.
Although they work seamlessly together in messaging applications, iMessages and text messaging use different techniques to send images. iMessages are sent using Wi-Fi or the wireless data plan that you purchase through your wireless carrier while the regular text/picture messages are sent using the text messaging plan you purchased with your wireless carrier.
To determine if your iPhone is having problems sending messages using iMessages or text messages, please open the Messages app and open a conversation with the person who can't send the image to. If the other message you sent to that person is in blue, your iPhone will not use iMessage to send the image. If the other message is in green, iPhone will not use your text messaging plan to send the image.
