T-Mobile adds automatic surcharge
T-Mobile charges customers to get a detailed breakdown of their monthly bill - but customers are not forced to get it.
The wireless giant applies a $2 fee for customers to receive a more detailed bill in addition to their basic breakdown of charges and purchases.
Unlike the basic bill, the detailed bill provides an itemized breakdown of all local, long-distance, and roaming calls.
The charge itself is listed as 'Detailed Billing All.'
While $2 may seem small, over the course of a year it turns into $24.
Fortunately for many customers, the charge is not mandatory.
Customers who just want to get their basic bill are not forced to get the itemized bill.
And those who want it for their records for just one month are not forced to keep purchasing it month after month.
But, for customers who need an exact breakdown of their cellular activity, they'll have to cough up an extra $2.
