T-Mobile has a feature that allows you to block chargeable Text Messages, if you subscribe to the $4.99 plan 400 text messages or the $9.99 1000 text messages plans. When you enable three features they block chargeable text, instant messages and picture messages. You can not enable these features if you have the unlimited plan as none of your text messages are chargeable.

Now one would assume that it would block any message over 400 txt or 1000 txt depending on your plan, as the T-Mobile site doesn’t really say anything, it just says it will block chargeable messages, and it is what I assumed until I noticed that my text messages did not work at all. Apparently these features block every SINGLE message regardless if you are with in your plan limit or not.

So the question is. Why would T-mobile offer these features if it doesn’t block your chargeable messages but every message? Doesn’t make sense T-Mobile, and I was shocked when I was told this by T-Mobile on the phone. They simply said the Block Chargeable Message options overrides any messaging plan you have, but you are still billed for the subscription you selected. I was then told if a user is afraid of going over they should get the Unlimited plan.
