It's a shitty system, but they openly admit to doing this: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1680
If you have a plan that doesn't offer unlimited calling, calls made over Wi-Fi Calling count against your plan minutes. For Pay In Advance prepaid lines, calls made over Wi-Fi deduct from the plan bucket just like regular calls.
That’s one thing but he’s saying it’s counting Data. I can’t believe that.
Believe it. They confirmed it last night when I spoke to them, they changed my plan without permission - tried to swindle me, but I got them to revert my data plan... too much to type on mobile, I'll come back and post more.

Oh, that's crazy. I just saw "wifi calling" and automatically assumed it was their crappy policy on plan minutes (AT&T doesn't charge them).
Thats a pretty bold claim. Can you name a single site Tmobile blocks when using WiFi?
Yes I can, but don't care to do so here.
T-Mobile, for example even monitors and freaking blocks your usage to certain sites when on airplane mode and on wifi - even when you have wifi assist disabled.
Further, they even deduct from you data usage wifi use!
It's provable! I've proved it and T-Mobile Philippines call center says "oops let me reset your data plan" when called on it.
I proved it by only being in airplane mode and used wifi calling, and seeing that data was being deducted from my account when I wasn't using cell data.
