anyone else experience this? whenever my wifi is on and I try to send a MMS, I get "Error would you like to retry". If I click yes then it will give me the same error, any suggestions(other than turn wifi off)?

don't messages have to go through the carrier?

That is correct, MMS will not send/receive over wifi, you must be on verizon data service.

is there any reg edit or setting that will make mms use verizon's data when wifi is on or is the only solution turn wifi off when using mms?

As far as I know, wifi has to be turned off in order to send/receive MMS. Sorry, but I don't remember if you can have wifi and verizon data both on for MMS to work (allow MMS to pick VZW data vs. wifi when both are on).

VZW has nothing to do with it, it cant be done on sprint either
