A customer of T-Mobile has sued that company alleging that T-Mobile violated her
rights under the laws of various states, as well as federal law, by imposing flat-rate
ETFs. The Court has allowed the lawsuit to be a class action for the purposes of
settlement. The Settlement Class includes all subscribers to T-Mobile with personal
accounts who paid or were charged a flat-rate ETF at some time during the period
July 23, 1999 through February 19, 2009, and/or who have or had a contract for service
with T-Mobile that included a flat-rate ETF at some time during the period July
23, 1999 through February 19, 2009.
The Court has not decided whether the claims made in the lawsuit have any merit.
However, if you are a member of the Settlement Class, you have a choice to make
now.
