T-Mobile USA Sued Over Texting
A class action suit has been filed against T-Mobile USA claiming that consumers were being charged for text messages that they did not want. RCRnews reports that the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Seattle, has alleged that the SMS policy of the Bellvue-Washington based carrier violates federal telecom law and Washington state
This is so dumb. I am with t mobile and this is why there texting servies is unbelieveable a rip off. I get charge a bunch of money each both because of this. I dont want texting but i keep getting texts so this lady at t mobile told me i wouldnt be charge if i just delete the text and not look at it. So i do, and therefore i still get charged. I think their somehow wanting people to get the texting bundle this is probably why they are doing this. I think t mobile should turn the texting off and give ppl an option about this!!! Its not fair.
i have a t-mobile prepaid phone and i cant text; i can only get picture messaging through to my friends it totally sucks, and i can only have 60 characters a text. I i get a two year contract will my texting be any better?
Please post a link to the class suit. I'd like to get in. I hate to pay for SMS spam. For a reagula phone call I can either answer it or not. For SMS I'm paying no matter what, and there is no option to unsubscribe.
For all we know, T-Mobile could be sending us the spam themselves, just to pressure us into upgrading to unlimited texting packages.
Whoever's behind it, though, can burn to death.
Look its as simple as this the sender of a text or the person who makes the telephone call should pay. That's why the US lags behind Europe with regard to cell phones and especially texting. I live in Ireland and if i had to pay for incoming texts and calls i would just discard my phone. The system in the US is and no offence intended just plain stupid and a rip off.
