Why won't my device send images or MMS messages over Wi-Fi?

My phone will not send images or MMS messages over WiFi. Is there a setting I need to change? They will send over regular data, but I need ability to send over WiFi. Help!

If you're using the stock messaging app, MMS' require a mobile data connection to send/receive ... they won't send/receive over wi-fi.  You may want to switch to Verizon's Integrated Messaging as it allows MMS to send/receive over wi-fi.

The hangouts application? Is that the integrated messaging you refer to?

Thank you,

I was referring to this one:

And please don't post personal information on the forum; it's against the Terms of Service.
