Bit confused. When you compose said message does it say "new message" or "new mms"?
you tried turning show subject field off?
Settings -> messages -> show subject field off.

New MMS...when u go into the message app...it comes up with new message as the heading then you put the contacts name into the name field...then theres a small box with Subject and on the lower left is a camera icon...once you have put in the subject and then go to type out the message...it changes to new MMS at the top.

No i have it set to on...maybe thats why its confusing me somewhat because according to Tmo i have all the settings in the phone.
LOL ok maybe im just not getting it...i was under the impression that its 2 separate things ie mms and sms like most other phones....but if i send a message but do not add any images or multimedia files to my other phone then it comes up as mms on my other phone whether or not i send a multimedia file or not.

Unsubstantiated rumors are flying around the interwebs about iOS 4.0.2 and iOS 3.2.2 (or 4.1/3.3, whatever) updates to be released within hours that will close the PDF hole and root escalation bug that made jailbreakMe possible. No idea if it's true, but we know that Apple claims to have an upgrade in the pipeline, and no less of a personage than the Dev-Team's @cpich3g hints that it's about to drop, so better safe than sorry.
Obviously, if you're prompted to update firmware, don't do it. But to avoid any possibility of losing your jailbreak and apps, back up your SHSH blobs now if you haven't already done so, before the saving window closes

Thanks for the "heads up". D/L'ing TU just now. Better to be safe than sorry. 
I think if you enter anything into the subject field it becomes an MMS, just like adding pictures, etc.
Try turning off the subject field option, or just leaving it blank and it should just send as an SMS.
Wierdly I cant find any SMS setting when going through the Phone settings only MMS, so you maybe right. AFAIK to initiate a MMS you select the file first and opt to send it via MMS, rather than go into the 'MMS app' and attach the file
I think SMS/MMS operation for the iPhone is entirely transparent which isnt that surprising considering the protocols involved...

Ah yeah, thats jogged my memory - basically SMS is just a field of text so to use an option like Subject it has send as an MMS. Theres no such thing as a subject line for normal SMS IIRC...

This is correct ^^
Just the Jailbreak fix. 4.1 will have any real improvements in it.

Yep that seems to have done it...turned subject field off and i can now send sms texts....strange way of doing it though i have to admit.
Cheers to all that helped
You were doing it wrong. The "subject" box is actually split into two horizontally. Top portion is the subject (if text is entered here it becomes an mms), and the bottom half is the message itself.
So to send a regular SMS you would just enter contact and the lower section of the text box.
As has been mentioned already though, much simpler to turn off "subject" box (mine was by default). This means a message is sent as an mms only if you chose an attachment and actually select to send as mms.
