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 .

I just signed up for the 55+ Magenta Max plan yesterday, and at first that is the plan I saw listed in my cellular setting on my iPhone, But after they finished porting my previous number, the plan changed to "WhitelistAndRegularData". If that is normal and is giving me everything my plan is supposed to be offering, that's fine, but it seems strange.
If your 55+ Magenta Max plan has unlimited data, these whitelisted and regular data shouldn't really be of concern. You get unlimited data anyway (subject to lower speeds after a certain amount). As was discussed, T-Mobile likely differentiated the two types of data to show which counted towards a user with a limited data plan. The whitelisted data appears to be just routine connection data necessary to "speak" with T-Mobile's network while regular data is the connection between the customer's apps, etc.
Thank you. It does have unlimited data and 40GB hotspot. I don't want to unnecessarily burden the support team or drive over to the local store if I don't need to, so as long as everything is working according to what the plan offers I won't fret about it. But if something isn't working right in the future I'll keep it in mind as a possible place to look.
