Completely clueless rep.

They are also confusing a couple of things.

1) ALL data on Wi-Fi is 100% free. T-Mobile will never ever bill you for that

2) SOME T-Mobile devices can make calls and send/receive SMS over Wi-Fi. When you have one of those devices, calls made of WI-Fi come out of your regular pool of minutes, and text messages are charged, or come out of your SMS allowance.
