How can they determine what is a joke and not real versus actual deals being made? How would they be able to tell if you were talking about a movie you just watched?
Ask the guy the trash feds threw in jail over a funny meme.

Well the language is very clear.
Had you told me 20 years ago you could lose your job for accidentally calling a co-worker by an incorrect pronoun, I would have thought that sounded ridiculous too.
But here we are.

What gives T Mobile the right to levy and collect fines for behavior they deem unsavory?

And yet it's still clear it's specific to messaging campaigns. Even better, this applies to all carriers and A2P services. It's much easier to grab the pitchforks and cry instead of spending 2 minutes reading.

I'm not clever. I just know how to read and think for myself.

Where is that clear for Tier 2?

That is for Tier 1. Not Tier 2.

No, all 3 tiers apply. It's specifying the level of the fine. Do yourself a favor and do some googling. It's really not that difficult.

Which is a great option, but they are a VAR like I mentioned. They just resell the main carriers product. Yes the carriers get less of the profit margin from your acct, but they still get their piece of the pie. And their policies should still carry over to the VAR customers.
I think Patriot Mobile was a T-Mobile only VAR (Value-added Reseller) originally, but I think they carry the others now too.

I've had T Mobile for 17 years because it's cheap and reliable

Correct.
Imagine if the electric company turned off someone's power because they didn't stand for the anthem. It would cause a firestorm and rightfully so.

Amazingly people don't understand that the 1A only applies if the Government restricts your free speech.
Yea and they’re using big corporations as a loophole to get around this. It’s time SCOTUS gets a case to rule on this. Big corporations shouldn’t be able to infringe on your rights especially with something as big and common as telecommunications. They can’t fine you because you text your friend a picture of a gun you just bought

Please disregard this because it is a B2B bulk provider interoperability contract agreement between bandwidth.com and t-mobile, not a t-mobile subscriber agreement.
(also because laura is an idiot who can't formulate a hypothesis correctly based on reading very small amounts of unrelated information to what her theory is)
Bandwidth.com provides SIP and messaging services. To send messages to cell providers, there needs to be an interop gateway, T-Mobile is essentially stating that marketing (shortcode and 10-digit-longcode) messaging and such are prohibited from being spammy.
They will fine the service provider a lot of money (which a service provider has) if they are ineffective at stopping spam.
Please read this:

This is decidedly "non-consumer" and links to the Code Of Conduct right in the middle of the page.
[Edited to add: I should also say that being an MVNO, the subscriber utilizes Verizon's and T-mobile's own messaging systems, so there is no sort of interop gateway needed between USMobile and other carriers. This agreement is only for bulk third party senders of messages. Like "text CRAP to 555321 to save on your car insurance!" or the SMS votes you can do for like TV shows to vote an audience winner for American Idol if that still happens]
Per Reddit. No idea how accurate.

Reb, does this mean they don't want me calling my friends the n-word in texts anymore? What about fig... can I call them figs?
