I can only send pictures in text messages when I'm on data and not on wifi or no wifi network?

MMS uses unmetered mobile data.  Generally you need to have mobile data enabled to send MMS.  As for iMessages, that is an iOS platform.  Android users would not be able to receive or send iMessages.  

@EggYolk  Yes because of iMessage wanted data to send turn off iMessage and send sms that should work without data

That's correct. MMS text messages need to have cell data on. If you have an iphone then you should be able to send to other iphones using wifi or cell data. But that's not real MMS.
