The problem is with PICTURE MESSAGING (i.e., sending a text message with an attached picture), not with plain text messaging. (Note: receiving picture messages works over wi-fi, but sending does not.)

I sent a few text messaes this morning, and I had my wifi on. All went through fine (and were received fine). Unless it somehow skipped wifi and used evdo? Isn't an active wifi connection the default if you have it turned on?

I'm not on Verizon - stayed with Sprint - but on this network MMS works just fine on or off wifi.

Receiving picture messages works fine, but when I'd try to send one I would get the error message: << Unable To Send Message. A network error occurred. >> The issue remained unresolved until the capability to send picture messages magically returned when I left the house. Long story short, when I'm in my house using Wi-Fi, picture messaging sending fails. If I turn off Wi-Fi (or otherwise use the EVDO network), it works. Does anyone else notice this? Is picture messaging supposed to only work on the data network, and not on Wi-Fi?
