Socked with data charges from T-Mobile without having a data plan

You got caught, pay the bill. You got internet for "free"...ahem....stolen really and now T-Mobile sent you a bill.

Pay up.

 

I COMPLETELY, 100% wholeheartedly agree -- suck it up and pay your damn bill like the rest of us do.

I agree, pay up and just be glad they didn't send you a bill for the 2 years you stole their data, for 2 phones that could add up to close to $1,000.

 

Suck it and pay the dues, brah.

Exactly.

 

You should pay the bill.

 

Be a man and pay your bill, no wait, have your mommy pay your bill. Another slacker that wants stuff for free.

 

Pay the bill first, then call them up and ask them to cancel/remove the data service on your sim. You can still using internet when you have access to wifi. There is no way to get around using internet for free through your sim.

 

Just pay your bill and get a data plan if you want/need to use it like all of us do . Sometimes I just don't get you people .

 

"my sister and I got charged $50 EACH"

boohoo, we've been paying $25 to $50 a month each for data a month for all those months you were stealing it. Pay the bill and get a real data plan.

 

Don't pay.

UMTS carriers (like T-mobile and AT&T) are perfectly capable of filtering or blocking NRT traffic (data, sms messages, etc) from specific phones.

The reason that they don't is precisely because of what is happening to you right now:
They allow users without plans/authorization to access the service and then charge them out the wazoo for it.

It is not an accident, and it is not a coincidence that your $50 bill is more expensive than their standard $20 or $30 monthly data packages.

They are trying to get your money.

Call them up. Complain about the charges and tell them that you do not want ANY data services or charges on your phone at all. T-mobile won't drop you as a customer, but they WILL block data to your phone once they figure out that you're not going to pay for it.

 

WTF dude, he's been stealing internet for 2 years, and now has to pay $50?????? Only $50 for 2 years of internet??? Sounds cheap to me.

 

It's not a bajillion dollar bill, just pay it. I was expecting some post about a $50k bill, no, it's just a $50 charge.

 

You randomly discovered how to steal data? How google search "steal Tmobile data plan"?

 

He obviously Googled "I'm a good person and don't feel I should have to pay for T-Mobile Data like EVERYONE ELSE, how can I be an exception"

Google is a very powerful search engine, watch out.

 

Really?

I thought you'd come back and say "Yeah, I was stealing but I don't care."


But instead you're going to go with the "getting something for free that everyone else is paying for isn't stealing" argument instead, huh?

 

OK, your original post you basically asked all of us if you should lie to them about why your usage was so high. It seems pretty obvious that you knew you were doing something you weren't supposed to...and you wanted to know if we thought you'd be able to continue doing it after you talked to them about it. You're surprised that people said that you're freeloading? Really? Did you expect a pat on the back?

I'm actually bummed that T-Mobile let you off the hook so easy, considering that you've been stealing internet service for 2 years. And I find it hard to believe that you just randomly discovered how to do it.

 

You're damn right they're trying to get his money -- and rightfully so.
I'll personally write T-mobile and tell them they should be asking for MORE than $50.

Sounds like you really need a reality check.

 

Lol
You were getting internet for free without paying for it and you knew it.
So that's not stealing it? Just because you randomly discovered it then you dont have to pay?
What Im socked about is that you're suprised that they finally caught you and want to charge you for your usage. They only charged you $50 so you got lucky they didnt charge you for all the previous time you were using it without paying.
Sounds like your and Tarzanman dont live in the real world. How rude of Tmobile for wanting to charge you for a service that you been using and not paying for

 

So you're saying T-Mobile's scheme was to give him $480 worth of internet for free and then charge him $50 for it?

Yeah, what a rip off.

 

Ah, yes. "Get off your high horse" - the hew and cry of the individual who seeks support for unethical behavior, and is told that the behavior is unethical.

If, by "dumb luck", I discover that I can access someone's credit card number, then by your logic I could use that number for my purchases. I didn't hack it, or go looking for it - it fell in my lap. Therefore it is mine to use.

The twisted and tortured logic used to rationalize unethical behavior is remarkable.

 

Maybe the spokesmodel on their commercial is also their accountant!
