How To Send Pictures From a T-Mobile Cell Phone to an E-mail?

While, this may be self-explanatory, I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm trying to send some photos from my T-mobile phone to my e-mail. I've done this before on Verizon and it worked flawlessly.
Every time I attempt to do this, I receive an automated text message: "picture sending failed: you must upgrade your service for this option"

Again, while this may be self-explanatory, there HAS to be some way around this. Does T-Mobile really make you have internet (or a date plan, whatever) on your phone to be able to send pictures to an e-mail? That's so ridiculous, it's free on every other service.

If I do need a data plan on my phone, is there anything else I can do to get these pictures sent to my e-mail?

I'm aware I'm asking some stupid, obvious questions...but I have to at least try. You never know. Thanks in advance, everyone.
