Here Come Class Action Lawsuits Against
Wireless Carriers
05/18/2004 04:34 AM
Admittedly, wireless carriers are notorious for their poor service. However, with the advent of number portability, one would hope that a little competition should help to solve many of those problems. However, why wait for the market when you can sue? It looks like some groups are trying to come up with just about any excuse to file a class action lawsuit against mobile phone service providers. Now, I'm no fan of most of the wireless carriers - who I think have done a terrible job providing service to their customers and who are often misleading and downright sneaky in what they do. However, I also don't think bogus class action lawsuits help the situation much either.

A federal appeals court has reinstated five lawsuits claiming that the cell phone industry has failed to protect consumers from unsafe levels of radiation. The class-action lawsuits seek punitive damages and want cell phone manufacturers to provide headsets, which they say could reduce risks of brain tumors, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuits originally were filed in separate state courts but were consolidated and transferred to federal court. The claims require the courts to explore the adequacy of the Federal Communications Commission's radiation emission standards, one ruling judge declared.

Nextel settles class action lawsuit 12/02/2003 01:29 PM
Giving perhaps a small glimmer of hope to all those frustrated by the monthly number portability fees being imposed by the cellphone companies, Nextel has just settled a class action lawsuit brought against it by its customers. The complaint was that Nextel's collecting of fees under the name of "Federal Programs Cost Recovery" was misleading because it implied that the fees had been mandated by the Federal government. The fees were perfectly legal for them to collect (and they're actually still collecting them), but Nextel is giving their subscribers some free minutes for their trouble. Read [Thanks, Ingrid]...
