Class-Action Suit Against T-Mobile a Small Victory for Mobile Users

Filed in archive Operators by leo on October 16, 2007

T-Mobile is experiencing the increasing power of fed up mobile subscribers. According to Information Week, the California Supreme Court recently gave a go-signal preventing the leading mobile company from locking mobile phones and collecting early termination fees worth $200.

Moreover, T-Mobile subscribers request the company to unlock their mobile phones in case they want to switch to another carrier.
Cellular carriers are known as gatekeepers because they lock phones to keep subscribers on their networks, they disable features like voice-over-IP to prevent subscribers from making cheaper phone calls, and they keep subscribers using their services for an extended period of time by including hefty termination fees in their contracts.
The outcome of this case can drastically alter the existing annoying policies of the leading mobile carriers across the country. This will also strengthen the new Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act of 2007.
