T-Mobile’s Prices and Fees
February 2018: This action was dismissed because the parties reached a settlement agreement, the terms of which have not been disclosed.
November 2017: A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against T-Mobile. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that T-Mobile deceptively advertises that customers will receive four telephone lines with unlimited minutes, text messages, and data for $100 and a free tablet with activation fees that will be reimbursed over time when, according to the complaint, T-Mobile charges customers more than the advertised price without their consent and the activation fees are not reimbursed. (Cesarina et al v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-2054, C. D. CA.)
