MMS is a bit of a can of worms, tbh. The most likely explanation is that it's not provisioned on your account and this is something the tech team here can help with. Hang on, they'll get to your post in due course. MMS is often disabled on new accounts (and even upgrades) for reasons no-one has ever really made clear, though possibly because there's a cost involved (they're not available in any bundle). Now that you can send pictures and attachments by email at no cost other than the data usage, MMS is a bit of an anachronism really.

Yes, I agree. Hardly ever use MMS now, but a contact has no other means of receiving images as no web connection. Not sure if it's cheaper to send an email with attachment via the mobile network than an MMS! My iphone works fine for sending and receiving MMS.

If you have a data bundle, then sending an email attachment will simply use this - there won't be an additional cost as long as you don't exceed your allowance. There will always be a cost associated with MMS (40p I think) as they're not bundled.
Is your iPhone on the same account? If not, then MMS is provisioned on that, but not on the present one, but than can be arranged. If it is, then text WEb to 40127 on this phone. You'll get a configuration message back with the correct settings (although it sounds as though you may have them). These sometimes arrive silently, so go into Messages, then hit Menu and look for Configuration Messages in there. That's where it'll be.
