<prompt> Human: After long time lurking in the shadows decided to create an account to vent off some frustration.So long story short. I believed all the uncarrier hype and switched to T-Mobile. Got unlimited calls and data and used Google Voice service to call my parents in Russia, rate is 2 cents per minute for a landline. Without my realization, Google Voice app crashed and stopped routing calls to Google so international calls went to T-Mobile instead. Turned out T-Mobile charges 2.69 per minute 134 times more than google and Im on a hook for 700 now for 4 50-60 min calls during the month. Funny enough I used my t-mobile phone in Moscow and it was 20 cents per min inout 13 times cheaper. And no, dont count on T-Mobile to give you a courtesy of a phone call to warn you of incurred charges. I checked TM international rates and find out the hard way they charge 2 per minute for most countries and up to 15 per minute for some destinations.Whatever you do guys, NEVER use t-mobile for international calls.prooflink  <response>: um... thats pretty standard for any cell phone carrier. they charge up the wazoo for international calls and bill you for it later. you should have noticed your calls were not going through google voice because google voice gives you an voice msg before the call connects telling you how much it costs and what your balance is. best thing you can do in the future is to just have the phone company block international calls.
