Charges for conference call numbers
I am a new T-Moble customer as of August. Today I received a rude shock when I learned that some conference call phone numbers (in the US) are "out of plan" and that T-Mobil will charge me extra...
Ok here's what is going on and what they are trying to stop. Traffic pumping
AT&T actually started blocking people from connecting to these numbers and continue to add to the list. There is a legal battle going on over it.

Verizon has been rumored to start charging or cutting off depending on the outcome of the verdicts.

This is 100% wrong. Why would you post wrong information when you don't know?
The only mobile carrier that charges is T-Mobile.
AT&T does NOT charge or block.
Verizon does NOT charge or block.
Thank you so much. I was trying to figure out my options for getting off of T-Mobile. I came from Community Cellular which leases ATT towers which have little coverage in my neighborhood in comparison to T-Mobile and Verizon. I didn't want to have go with weird Verizon phones but I certainly will if I need to in order to avoid huge charges from calling conference calls.
