“T-mobile will start monitoring SMS and fining users for violations” is not the title of the article and doesn’t seem to be what’s communicated. It looks like to me this is about commercial customers who use the network and is an increase in fines.

The guidelines in question[1]. They seem to be from 2020, with copyrights as early as 2007.

Without expressing a larger opinion: many of the individual restrictions on commercial SMS activity seem reasonable, e.g. forbidding use of the T-Mobile network to advertise payday loans (Page 18).

How is CBD a violation? Isn’t it legal?

The submission title is "In 2024T-Mobile will start monitoring SMS and fining users for violations", yet there's no mention of "monitoring" in the article, even though that may be a consequence of these policies.

Note this is for users of bandwidth.com enterprise messaging plarform, not for T-Mobile cell phone users.

dang, can we change submission title to non-editorized version?

For context, this appears to be referring to fines imposed on senders of bulk SMS, not recipients, nor legitimate consumer-to-consumer messages.

If I get a promotional text message from my local dispensary about their holiday sale, who gets the $1,000 fine?

So all my 2-factor codes are good, right?
