It's been a mystery how does Cell Minute Tracker manage to fetch AT&T users data. Maybe someone here has the long waited answer.

I'm really curious rather they got a confirmation to scrape user’s cellular report And how they can fire up multiple requests to AT&T site without being banned?

I'm waiting for someone who could shed some light on this mystery

Thanks
