Sprint Solicitation Call Class Action Settlement
By Matt O’Donnell
Sprint has proposed a settlement in a class action lawsuit that accuses the telecommunications giant of soliciting customers using an automatic phone dialing and announcing device. If the proposed Sprint solicitation call settlement is approved, certain Sprint customers may be able to receive up to $500 per incident.
The proposed Sprint telemarketing settlement will settle a class action lawsuit, entitled Sandra L. Palmer v. Sprint Solutions, Inc., that alleges Sprint made commercial telephone solicitation calls (i.e., telemarketing calls) to residents of Washington State using an automatic dialing and announcing device. The Sprint class action lawsuit also claims that solicitation calls were made to residents in other states after they requested not to receive solicitation calls from Sprint.
The Sprint class action lawsuit says the telemarketing calls violate the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Washington’s Automatic Dialing and Announcing Device statute, and Washington’s Consumer Protection Act. Sprint denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to pay Class Members $5.5 million to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Sprint solicitation call class action settlement include current and former Sprint customers who, while a customer, at any time after July 23, 2005 through June 13, 2011:
(1) Lived in Washington State and received from Sprint directly or from its agents one or more commercial telephone solicitations that used an automatic dialing and announcing device; and/or
(2) Lived in Washington State and received from Sprint directly or from its agents one or more commercial telephone solicitations less than one year after advising Sprint or its agents that he or she did not wish to be called again by Sprint; and/or
(3) Lived in the United States and received from Sprint directly or from its agents one or more commercial telephone solicitations more than 30 days after advising Sprint or its agents that he or she did not wish to be called again by Sprint.
Class Members who submit a timely and valid claim form will receive a percentage share of the $5.5 million Sprint solicitation call settlement, based on the number of people who file claims. There’s no way to predict how much money Class Members will get until all claims are received, but each Class Member could receive the following:
– Category (1) Class Members could receive up to $500 per incident with a maximum of $2,000.
– Category (2) Class Members could receive up to $100 per incident with a maximum of $400.
– Category (3) Class Members could receive up to $500 per incident with a maximum of $2,000.
– Class Members who fall into all three categories could receive up to a maximum amount not to exceed $4,400.
In order to receive any money from the Sprint solicitation call class action settlement, you must submit a claim form online at www.PalmerSolicitationCallSettlement.com or by mail postmarked by November 21, 2011.

45 thoughts onSprint Solicitation Call Class Action Settlement
I have been with Sprint for over 10 years and have received many call from Sprint. They have been unwanted and merely for solicitations and asked that only billing related calls be sent to me. The question as many others seem to have is how to prove it. I tried to tag them by giving them a contact name, but think those have been deleted during one of my upgrades. Any suggestions if I can’t find exact dates?
I will admit, they have given me several thousands of dollars in credit. Which most other companys would not even consider doing. they work hard to try and keep you as a customer. But also have a lot of workers who Lie out their asses to you and cause a lot of ulcers for no reason. Anyway. I will jump on board this suit. I am tired being the little business that the big boy jumps all over and trounces on my ability to have a little bit of peace.
I really hate all the solicitation calls. If I want to upgrade my plan I will call. DON’T CALL US! WE’LL CALL YOU !
Hey Bill,
STFU and GTFO troll!
I too have been a customer since Sept 01″
And I have been called numerous times after having told customer service to take me off their damn call list!
I also have been recieving calls from 000-000-0000 as well as 999-999-9999 and 666-666-6666 randomly for years now. sometimes at 3 am !
I know this is their stupid call bot checking to see if my phone is connecting. ( Have had severe connectivity problems from time to time over last decade )
No. none of you qualify, sorry.
I would like to know if I qualify for this as i am a customer For over 6 years. how would I find out /
How would we know if we received calls and how many?
How would we know if we were contacted by this number and if we are entitled to the case?
Hello,
I have been a customer for 6+ years as well and I wanted to know the number that they called from and if there is an easier way to see if they called me, rather than searching my records from that entire period….
I have been an individual Sprint customer since June 2, 2001 and am still a customer. I have also registered the cell phone on the government “Do Not Call” list. However,I do not know if I have received a solicitation from Sprint under classification 3 (not Washington State) Sprint would know if I qualify.
hi i want to know if i qualifiy for this settlement can
