Do you have a data block on the line? That would also block the ability for MMS.
MMS does not draw from data but must have the capability to function.

She has NO Data plan on her phone.

Do you have to have one to receive pictures that are texted ?

You do not have to have a data plan, but you cannot have a data block in place.

Call Customer Service to see if there is a data block, and remove if you want to be able to send/receive MMS. However, note that if she accidentally hits the internet button you may incur data pay-per-use charges @ $2/MB (minimum charge for any access is $2.00)

There won't be a data charge. It uses a data connection, but charges the messaging plan, not the data plan. So if you have unlimited texting, there's no charge for it at all.
