Introduction
Updated: September 21, 2007
Welcome to the Wong v. T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) Settlement Website. The Settlement has received final approval from the Court and is now Final according to its terms.
Summary of the Litigation and Settlement
Some T-Mobile customers subscribe to a data services plan (a “Flat-Rate Data Plan”) that, for a fixed monthly fee, allows them to browse the Internet, receive e-mail, and/or access the Mobile Web from their wireless devices. This Lawsuit alleges that, on certain occasions, some of those customers were charged on a per-use basis (an “Incremental Charge”) for data services that should have been included in the Flat-Rate Data Plans for which they paid a monthly fee. These Incremental Charges, which were billed between April 2003 and June 2006, total millions of dollars, approximately two-thirds of which have already been credited to members of the Settlement Class by T-Mobile in the course of its business. The $2,199,461 of remaining Incremental Charges will be distributed to Settlement Class members according to the Settlement, as described in the Settlement Agreement and in the Notice mailed to members of the Settlement Class (both available on this website).
Settlement Class Members
The Settlement Class consists of all T-Mobile customers and former customers who (a) were subscribers to a Flat-Rate Data Plan; (b) paid an Incremental Charge; and (c) have not received, prior to August 10, 2007, a credit or refund of the full amount of the Incremental Charge that has been verified by a review of T-Mobile’s records. The Settlement Class does not include employees, officers, directors, agents, and legal representatives of T-Mobile and its affiliated entities, government agencies, or persons who file a timely request for exclusion.
