T-Mobile hit with class action lawsuit over unwanted text message charges
Perhaps the tide is about to change!
If you're a T-Mobile customer, it might be too late to get in on the lawsuit, but keep an eye out for news on this--and eventually watch your bills for a little pamphlet in 4-pt font telling you that you might be entitled to a billing credit or something if the plaintiffs win the case.
I use Cingular and recently had a ten dollar charge show up for some Joke of the Day service. I remember getting a text from them and at the end of the text it said to type STOP to obviously stop receiving them. I did. Yet, when the bill came, there it was.
ReplyDeleteThe representative I talked to was really friendly and the charge got taken off.
