There's a $2 fee if you come close to your bandwidth cap (where they automatically 'helpfully' add value so you don't run out) and a $.99 fee if you don't use enough data (at least 5 MB a month). They'll probably have new and exciting secret fees when they roll this out.
I very much dislike the redefinition of the words 'free' and 'unlimited' among telecom providers, and we as a community should not support this. They're asking me for a credit card number to signup, ipso facto, it isn't free.
Yes, there are 101 up-sells and add-ons that cost money. However, as long as you use that 5MB minimum none of them are surprises. The '$2 fee' you speak of is (as you implied) not so much a fee as 'recharging your prepaid card.' They we're upfront about it and they make it easy to disable.
Everything else is a GoDaddy style up-sell. Annoying, but very easy to ignore.
Other than the initial purchase I haven't paid them a cent.

I use their free 4G service now.
