Sprint Solicitation Call Class Action Settlement
By Matt O’Donnell
Â
Â
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.
Â
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.Â
Â
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.
Â
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:
Â
(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
Â
(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
Â
(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.
Â
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:
Â
– 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.Â
– Class Members who fall into all three categories could receive up to a maximum amount not to exceed $4,400.
Â
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.Â

thanks for the update dwayne…the website tells us the bs u wasted time to recite smh
I just asked a friend of mine from the town that the person who is supposed to be rdisputing this pay out , to see if they can find this single individual who has supposedly stop payment. Will keep you up dated. Also am asking the U.S Inspector General’s office to take a look at this because, something smells fishy in the refrigerator. One way or the other I intend to get to the bottom of this besides, I’m retired now and have nothing else to do but what I did for 39 years,INVESTIGATIONS.
This is bs! This waiting game is absolutely ridiculous! How much longer are these assholes gonna hold up the process?! I’ve had sprint for longer than I can remember. And they’ve always sucked ass! I left tmobile to come to sprint and tmobile isn’t much better to be honest. Sheesh! This is ridiculous
Not for nothing but every month I had to call and dispute my bill with these morons!!! It was never what they told me it was going to be. I joined this as well buy for some reason feel it is a giant crock of shit, no one will see any money and I can bet if we do it won’t even be close to 500 per occurrence. I hope I am wrong but I wouldnt count on a thing!!!!
wth going on with pament suit over with.
I would like to know the docket number to the case that is now holding payments up. I’m still stuck with a brand new phone that I eventually purchased in order to stop the constant calls from Sprint and I’d like to get my money as soon as possible.
The interest on 5.5 million for just six months is a lot of money. In reading the final judgement, I understood it to say that the order of the court was final for everyone, even class members so whats the hold up,
The Court granted final approval of the Settlement on October 21, 2011. On November 28, 2011, a Class Member who had objected to the Settlement filed a Notice of Appeal to the final approval. As a result, settlement payments are currently suspended until the appeal is resolved. The Court has ordered that the Objector-Appellant’s opening brief is due on March 7, 2012; the Plaintiff-Appellee’s opposition brief is due on April 6, 2012; and the Objector-Appellant’s reply brief is due 30 days from the date the opposition brief is filed. A date for oral argument has not been set. Please check back for updated information and dates.
One of the plaintiff is disputing the amount they are receiving, so back to court they go…
Mark- Wondering the same! Anyone hear anything???
Anyone hear anything else about this?
