Telecom class actions represent a growing category. If you have interacted with these companies in the last 3-5 years, you may qualify for one or more open settlements.
What telecom settlements cover
These settlements typically involve settlements against wireless carriers and internet service providers over billing practices, service quality guarantees, throttling, hidden fees, and unauthorized charges.
Who qualifies
Eligibility varies by case. Common criteria for telecom settlements:
- You were a customer of the defendant during a specific class period.
- You were affected by the specific practice being challenged (e.g., you paid the disputed fee, received the challenged mailing, or had the disputed service).
Typical payouts
Individual payouts for telecom class actions typically range from $50-1,000 per class member, with documented-losses tiers potentially higher for people who kept records.
