Thousands of believers are realizing they’re being charged extra by one of the nation’s leading wireless service providers for participating in prayer line conference calls after a new policy was instituted last year.
In October, T-Mobile announced a new policy in which it charges customers $0.01 per minute on top of what they already pay in their monthly service plans when they call “out-of-plan numbers.” According to the organization, out-of-plan numbers include chat lines, radio broadcast lines and similar services. The company said it charges the fee because “out-of-plan calls tend to cost more for T-Mobile to complete.”
