T-Mobile prices class action lawsuit overview:ย
- Who: A group of consumers filed a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile USA Inc.ย
- Why: Consumers claim that T-Mobile violated its guarantee that certain wireless cell phone service plans had rates that were guaranteed to last for life.ย
- Where: The T-Mobile class action lawsuit was filed in New Jersey federal court.ย
T-Mobile violated its guarantee that the terms of certain wireless cell phone service plans would last for life, a new class action lawsuit alleges.ย
A group of consumers claim T-Mobile switched their cell phone plans earlier this year to a more expensive plan without their consent, despite guaranteeing the plans would either last for life or as long as a customer wanted to remain with it.ย
โT-Mobile has reneged on its promises to its customers and raised rates for all the plans with rates that were promised to be guaranteed for life,โ the T-Mobile class action says.ย
The group of consumers want to represent a nationwide class and subclasses of consumers in Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Jersey who entered into a T-Mobile ONE Plan, Simple-Choice plan, Magenta, Magenta Max, Magenta 55 +, Magenta Amplified or Magenta Military Plan with T-Mobile that included a promise of a lifetime price guarantee and who had their price increased without their consent.ย
T-Mobile promised rates for T-Mobile ONE plans to never change, class action claims
The consumers argue T-Mobile introduced the T-Mobile ONE wireless cell phone service plans โ which the company referred to as an โun-contractโ โ in 2017, at which time the carrier allegedly promised the plansโ rates would never be changed.ย
In 2020, however, T-Mobile completed a merger with Sprint, at which time the former pledged not to raise rates on its phone plans for three years, according to the T-Mobile class action.ย
โNow that the three years have elapsed and the wireless network landscape has continued to contract leaving consumers with less choices,โ the T-Mobile class action says.ย
Consumers argue T-Mobile is guilty of common law fraud and common law false advertising and negligent misrepresentation, and of violating New Jerseyโs Consumer Fraud Act, the Georgia Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade PRactices and Consumer Protection Law.
The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request injunctive relief and an award of actual damages for themselves and all class members.ย
Mediation for a class action lawsuit revolving T-Mobileโs merger with Sprint failed earlier this year. The complaint argues T-Mobile forced mostly minority-owned stores to close in the wake of the merger, despite telling Congress and the public it would be opening hundreds of stores.ย
