Sending/receiving texts with pictures?

[RampantLion]

I am using Verizon Wireless. The thing I don't understand is that if someone sends me a text that has a picture attached, I do not get any notification, I don't even get the text. So basically, if someone sends me a text with a picture, I don't get anything at all. And when I attempt to use nueMMS, the same thing happens, it says it sends it okay, but the person doesn't receive anything at all from me, not even a blank text.
