When I saw the post above it sparked my memory that I had enabled parental controls/web filtering .. and sure enough I go into my account, go to her line and "Web Guard" was set to "High" which included the description below.

Log into your T-Mobile account and look for “Family Controls” and then “Web Guard” and adjust filtering from High to Medium.
Web Guard High includes this description:
