Text and multimedia are two differnt systems.

SMS - Text
MMS - Multimedia with text

Also sending multimedia messages cross carrier may not work unless sent to an email desinated for that phone it will fail 100% of the time if it is GSM to CDMA unless emailed.

Are you

Sending it via SMS?
Sending it to a phone number?
Getting at least 2 Bars of signal?

Its not going to work US standard only allows for 160 character transfer. GOnna have to use the MMS system, I am not sure why it isnt letting you access the same things, it should grant full access to the phone unless the information is sustained on a previous message and not saved to the phone anywhere except the inbox
