Lesson Learned: Verify Stories Better Before Using Them as My Source

T-Mobile isn't charging consumers or businesses for text messages

After further review, the story I reacted to was not the full picture. Bandwidth is a company that provides automated communications solutions for businesses. T-Mobile isn’t charging consumers fines for text messages - T-Mobile is charging the “Bandwidth” company.

I got too excited seeing a well known journalist expose something T-Mobile related and I jumped on it. I’m new at this and I’m going to make mistakes as I learn, but I promise to own my mistakes and be honest, open, and transparent about my journalism and story telling.
