Contact your phone carrier again and ask to speak to a tech, MMS and SMS are their features.

To be sure I understand properly, the issue is not apple related but a carrier issue? Could it have to do with transferring carriers when we purchased the new phones?

SMS/MMS is a feature that you pay monthly to your phone carrier. If you changed carriers and it work with the old carrier, then it's a carrier issue. Apple has nothing to do with SMS or MMS, only imessage.
