I cannot send a picture message to non apple devices

I have an iPhone 5s. The issue with messaging is that I can send iPhone users pic messages, and them to me (with wifi or data on) but non iPhone users can send me a pic, which I receive, but I cannot send a pic to them. I can text to non iPhone users fine, it's just the image that won't go through.

Obviously I can use Apples service, but obviously not Verizon's? And I don't mean their app.

Be aware that I have done a network reset and have checked to make sure that MMS is turned on and on top of that I have 4 addresses that are stored for sending and receiving.

Thank you!

I want to ensure you're able to send and receive, picture messages from non iPhone users as well as iPhone users!

When did this problem begin? Have you been able to send picture messages to other non iPhone users in the past? Do you get an error message when you attempt sending a picture message? Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

I don't think I ever have been able to.

Sorry, have never gotten an error message either. Would push the red !next to the could not send notification but it does not take me out of that space.

This is what it looks like- I've tried with basic phones and smart phones

With same results.

In Settings >Messages Toggle on "Send as SMS" and lower down, Toggle on "MMS Messaging".

As I stated, this is already on. I guess either my phone or Verizon's service stinks.
