I wondered if it's a file size issue (since I have my camera set at higher quality), but I would think that for SMSs, the images get resized before sending? Or, I would think ~500kb file would go through fine.
I saw some other thread about this, stating something about Mobile Data must be on? Why can't it go through WiFi?
I guess I would assume that SMS is mobile data, via mobile data plan, and thus... must have mobile data enabled. But why is it that when I have it disabled, I can still receive SMSs?

MMS uses your cell network, so mobile data must be enabled. Unfortunately, MMS is not supported through VoIP-type connections.

Also, what is your signal strength during these calls? (check the actual dBm in About | Status) Perhaps its a signal+RFI issue. Does the problem occur in a different location?

The problem will occur in other instances than just phone calls, I've noticed. Even with the stock Samsung S3 charger. People have reported problems with WiFi tethering while charging.

I'm getting more and more certain that something is goofing up with the slightly modified, and proprietary, GS3 MHL port. Some pin must be connected that is causing interference with particular wireless options.
