Prepaid Plan: Whitelisted vs Data
Hello. I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered--I just couldn't find a satisfactory answer through a quick search or when calling T-Mobile customer service. I just signed up...
One white listed data is mms since it's sent using data and doesn't count towards your plan. Another one is the streaming music services that T-Mobile offers for free .
Since no one has replied to confirm, I just wanted to follow up with an answer to help people in the future who search for an answer to whitelisted data.
I've been able to confirm by daily usage that "whitelisted data" doesn't count towards the data used. If you want to confirm, it is pretty easy. Leave the data on for that day but have a baseline summary data usage (e.g., 10.45 MB at the start of the day). You will see that at any point during the day, the regular "data" will add to the data summary on top but will not include the "whitelisted data."
Now I’m not exactly sure what whitelisted data is--I’m not that knowledgeable in this area--however, I think it is a type data interaction between the device and T-Mobile but it is not being counted towards normal usage data.
