MMS travels on top of WAP. So without WAP, you wont have MMS.

WAP can be provided in different ways however.

a) you subscribe to a WAP service of your operator
b) you subscribe to data services of your operator and you call an ISP 
to get access to the internet  and you use a WAP gateway on the 
internet.
c) you subscribe to GPRS services and you use a WAP gateway outside of 
the operators network.
