Start sending a text. Hit the attachment icon and it will let u take a picture. Phone will automaticlly make pic smaller so that it can be sent via text. Videos do The same. I had same problem. Hope this helps.

The maximum file size for picture / video messages varies from device to device. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device:

  • Devices with a .3 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 100 KB.
  • Devices with a 1.2 - 2 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
  • Devices with a 3.0+ megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
     Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.

Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB). A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
