  1. T-Mobile has allegedly misrepresents its "Regulatory Programs and Telco Recovery (RPTR) Fee" as a required federal government charge for two decades; this monthly "hidden" fee, $3.49 per line, is disclaimed in the "Government Taxes and Fees" section. A recent class action lawsuit filed against T-Mobile alleges the company has been charging this deceptive RPTR fee to its post-paid wireless customers, while misrepresenting it as charge handed down by the federal government. T-Mobile has made up this fee to increase T-Mobile’s revenue.
  2. Verizon charges a one-time surcharge for each device added to the monthly cell phone bill, two extra fees - the first monthly payment, and the next billing period -, a one-time activation fee for each device, a fee for the upgrade, a fee for Verizon Cloud or Apple Music, a late fee if the past-due balance surpasses $7 or $10, a $10 fee if a payment is made in advance, and a $2.99 fee if paying the bill at a CVS or a 7-Eleven store, and several more fees.
  3. 5G speeds ranges from around 50 Mbps to 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) depending on the RF channel and base station load. Faster speeds require use of the mmWave bands, reaching 4 Gbps with carrier aggregation and MIMO, assuming a perfect channel and no other base station load. Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band), by far the most common, can deliver between 10 and 1,000 Mbps; it will have a much further reach than mmWave bands. In the sub-6 bands, C-Band (n77/n78) was deployed by various U.S. operators in 2022.
  4. T-Mobile US was the 1st company in the world to launch a commercially available 5G NR Standalone network. Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE were the first companies sold 5G radio hardware and 5G systems for carriers

Telegraph dates only from 1832 when Pavel Schilling invented one of the earliest electrical telegraphs. A telegraph message sent by an electrical telegraph operator or telegrapher using Morse code (or a printing telegraph operator using plain text) was known as a telegram.
  7. A cablegram was a message sent by a submarine telegraph cable, often shortened to "cable" or "wire". Later, a Telex was a message sent by a Telex network, a switched network of teleprinters similar to a telephone network.

    Dealing with Unwanted Calls

    • Unwanted calls – including illegal and spoofed robocalls - are the FCC's top consumer complaint and their top consumer protection priority. Most unwanted calls are made from Robocalls, which are calls made with an autodialer or that contain a message made with a prerecorded or artificial voice.
      • Federal Communication Commission (FCC) data shows that the number of complaints about unwanted calls, including robocalls and telemarketing calls, has fluctuated somewhat over the past few years, with 172,000 complaints in calendar year 2015, 150,000 complaints in 2016, 185,000 complaints in 2017, and 232,000 complaints in 2018.
      • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has brought 140 enforcement actions against companies and telemarketers for abandoned call, robocall and Do Not Call Registry violations. As of December 2018, 121 of these FTC enforcement actions have been resolved, and in those cases the agency has recovered over $50 million in civil penalties and $71 million in redress or disgorgement.
    • If you answer the phone and hear a recorded message instead of a live person, it's a robocall. If you’re getting a lot of robocalls trying to sell you something, odds are the calls are illegal. Many are also probably scams.
    • Robocalls often seek personal information, or credit card or banking information. They may also attempt to acquire certain phrases or words, such as questions that will elicit a “Yes” response, to ultimately use your voice and words to authorize charges on a bill or a stolen credit card.
    • Robocalls may pose as authoritative organizations, such as the DMV, IRS, or Social Security Administration. These calls may announce that a free trip has been won, or that money is owed to the government, or that a donation to a charity is being solicited. Some calls prey on topical subjects such as national tragedies or tax season.
    • Robocalls may employ “neighbor spoofing,” which makes calls appear to come from a recipient’s area code.
    • When the phone rings, you may not have enough information to determone whether the call is wanted, unwanted, or illegal. The phone may display Caller ID and possibly a label from their voice service provider or a third-party application. But Caller ID may be spoofed or blocked, and labelers may not have complete information about the calling party. Currently, the only certain way to determine whether a call is wanted or unwanted is to answer it or let it go to voicemail, and hope the caller leaves a message.
    • You can take the following steps to avoid being victimized by robocalls:
      • Register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov or 1-888-382-1222. This will take effect within a month.
      • If you received an unwanted call after your number was on the National Registry for 31 days, report it to the FTC. Note that after your phone numbers are registered, some other types of organizations, such as charities, political groups, debt collectors and surveys, may still call you.
      • Sellers and telemarketers can go to https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov to access the National Do Not Call Registry.
      • Install robocall-blocking applications (e.g.; Truecaller, RoboKiller, Mr. Number, Nomorobo, Hiya and YouMail) on your smart phone. Many phone carriers, such as AT&T
        • , Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Cox, and Comcast, often have free services available to reduce unwanted and anonymous calls.
    • There are a number of steps to reduce to be a victim of unwanted call or robotcalls:
      • If a caller claims to be an authority, such as a debt collector, student loan office, or bank, hang up and directly call the office to see if they actually need something.
      • When receiving a phone call you should not press any number, even if it suggests that doing so will take you off their call list, only talking when you have reached a live person.
      • Regularly check your banking, credit card, phone, and cable statements for unfamiliar charges. Dispute anything that you didn’t authorize, and demand proof if they claim you were recorded approving the charge. You can also contact the Federal Trade Commission to dispute charges.
