The phone rep spent a fair amount of time researching it herself, said she'd been unaware, and suggested avoiding such charges by making phone calls through Skype instead of T-Mobile.

I'm still confused about it.
I'm now fairly certain there is an error with T-Mobile's billing of WiFi calls made overseas and that you in fact did made these calls using WiFi calling. Can you check to see the call Type for the calls to Canada made in the Maldives? Were they Type (W) (R)? If that is the case, there is a billing issue that I want to bring to the attention of TmoNews.
