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).
