You can't receive pictures until you've sent one. So without a camera you're pretty much out of luck unless you put your sim card in another phone and send an MMS or you just send a blank MMS to someone.

I have this phone and, even though it has some colour backgrounds, I think by 'picture messaging' it means those black and white images you can send. If you go to:
Menu --> Messages --> Picture messages You can see the choice of images you can send - there are 30 preset on my phone. The picture is sent as 3 text messages (with 60 characters leftover). The phone doesn't have MMS which would be needed to receive actual photo messages. I made this mistake when buying the phone too when I saw picture messaging. I only found out this wasn't possible when I bought it. Hope this helps.
