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.

How will you know if your gonna get settlement I have since moved since getting informstion about the settlement how can I get numbers of who to contact to change my address
To Carmen: Thanks for the good work.
Wow, I actually received an email from the settlement admins today, (I emailed them on late Monday). They said, their website should be updated, by the end of business today, and that pretty much everything that Carmen below me said, was correct. Here’s hoping that April, will be richer for all of us.
After all $10 is… better than nothing. Yeah!!!
#25 Hi Jorden, I got the email address from the Palmer website where it listed the class counsel details…also I spoke to the administrators at the 800 number to verify the counsels informationto me and she confirmed it and said the website will be updated and that payment would be in April. The initial representative could not confirm what I told him class counsel stated and turned my contact info over to a senior project/case administrator who phoned me on 3/27/13.
She also said there were a number of claims and that the payout would be less than stated in the lawsuit, but could not say how much significantly less it would be.
I hope that helps, because as like all of the others I have been interested in why the appeal was taking so long to conclude.

I hope you are telling the truth, but
Can you prove it?
What was the email address that the lawyer used?
Would be a nice surprise if these claims were settled in 2-3 weeks.
I emailed the attornies on the case on March 22, 2013 and below is the response I received from Rob Williamson on the same day….
“The objection made by one class member was overruled by the court, but he then appealed. About a month ago the court of Appeal rejected the appeal, without oral argument, and the case was returned to the trial court. My understanding is that claims are to be paid within two weeks.”
I called recently and the case is still where its been for the last year or more…no where. We’re not any closer to a payout, which at this point is ridiculous.
