That behaviour is normal for MMS messages, unless you have an allowance for them. The data it uses for sending and receiving MMS is free, but you are charged for the actual message - it either gets added onto your contract, or in your case taken from your prepaid credit.

Isnt this theft due to i have unlimited mms or a defect in the phone?

I would speak to AT&T about the plan you're on and what exactly it includes, since the same would happen in any other phone that can send MMS messages.
