It could be done technically. AFAIK all communication between MMS enabled components is done via standard TCP/IP.But in a regular provider setup the MMS store and forward server(s) (MMSC) are only reachable via the providers network. That's why you can not send and receive MMS via WiFi.
It's also the reason why you can not make a call and send/receive an MMS simultaneously when you have only 2G (GPRS/EDGE) connectivity.
Normally android will drop the GSM data connection if there is WiFi connectivity and all data will be routed through the WiFi interface, but there is one exception: The MMS traffic will still go through the mobile data connection.

Your network probably uses a separate MMS APN for multimedia messaging, and these are restricted to the operator's own network, so the messages can't be received via WiFi. Also, the messages are directed to your phone number so this could be compared to using SIP/VoIP through your regular phone number.
If there is an active WiFi connection, it is ignored and packet data is used instead (if enabled).
This is dependent on the Carrier. UMA is the form of radio that allows the sending of traditional texts and mms over Wifi. T-Mobile in the US is the carrier who has it, as for where you are, I would check with your provider.

As others have mentioned, the only way to receive a MMS directed toward the number serviced by your carrier is for you to be connected to their service. However, you might consider a service such as Google Voice. Google Voice provides an alternative number that is then routed to your phone. Currently Google Voice only supports SMS, but there may be other services that offer MMS support. A SMS message sent to your Google Voice number would then be visible in the Google Voice app, even if you only have a WiFi connection.
I think that most (smart) phones do not know how to create a separate IP socket to send/receive MMS over wifi. So they revert by default to the data socket provided by the carrier. Or they may not have the ability to switch between two different sockets automatically. If you do root your phone and change the default MMS IP socket, you may lose all MMS connectivity depending on the phone.
This is an old thread, I know, but I wanted to add that the Nokia N900 multimedia messaging app could receive notification of a MMS via the cellular network and retrieve the MMS, itself, via the Internet, at least on Wind (now Freedom Mobile) in Canada. This avoided roaming data charges and is the one feature that I miss most from my N900, now that I am using an Android phone.

It’s possible to send and receive MMS over WiFi on Android if your carrier supports it. However, in case your carrier doesn’t support that, you can still do MMS over WiFi. Most Android phones intelligently switches from WiFi to Mobile data when you send or receive a MMS and then switches back to WiFi when the MMS job is done. But, for some users even that fails and their device just leaves them with “Message Download Failed” upon receiving a MMS while connected to a WiFi network.
Can I Download Mms With Wifi Windows 7
The classic solution to this problem is using an alternative messaging app from the Play Store. There are a ton of free messaging apps to chose from, and we recommend the Textra SMS app for its beautiful UI and simplicity of functions, plus it has also been reported to fix the MMS issue by a number of users.
Open Textra SMS app and go to Settings » MMS Settings
Tick (check) the Prefer WiFi option, this is for those users only whose mobile carrier supports MMS over WiFi, but still give it a go if you aren’t sure about your mobile carriers policies. If it doesn’t works, just untick the option to enable your default MMS behavior
If the above option doesn’t work for you then your only choice here is to use mobile data to send and receive MMS, for that tick (check) the “T-Mobile WiFi Calling Fix” checkbox to let your device temporarily de-activate WiFi when sent or received a MMS └ In case this doesn’t work for you, tap on “Manually Configure APN” in Textra, find correct APN settings and change it from your device’s Settings » Mobile Networks » Access Point Names.
Even after failing to send MMS over WiFi using Textra, then you might wanna take this to your mobile carrier’s customer executive.
