This really seems like something the FCC should be enforcing... T-Mobile has no authority to make anyone pay fines... Terms of Service are not legally binding like that. All they can do is refuse service, and report the activity if it's actually illegal.
They're enforcement would likely escalate to a stopping of message delivery from the offenders.
When you replace government regulations with self regulating corporation, this is the best we can hope for I guess.
…yes they do. This is for vendors that use/enter into a business relationship with T-Mobile directly to send short codes or SMS. I.e. companies like Vonage and Twilio.
You can absolutely enforce fees against your direct customers for certain behaviors.
This would not work for messages received from other telcos
FCC is kind of a joke.
Corp tells them what to do.
If FCC did what it's meant to do, we wouldn't have such crap mobile and Internet infrastructure, terrible privacy policies, etc etc.
