using multimedia messaging with wifi not 4G

We have 2 Samsung galaxy S4 phones.  One of them will receive MMS messages while the phone is on WiFi settings, the other one will only receive them if it is on 4G.  What settings do I need to change so both phones receive MMS messages while on Wifi?

Ensure that mobile data is turned on; MMS will not send/receive over wi-fi.

Are you sure, because my husband has his phone set to wifi and it is receiving MMS messages.  Mine won't.  I have to turn on my mobile data.

If you're using the stock text app, mobile data is required to send/receive MMS.  If you're using Verizon Messages, those will send/receive over wi-fi.
