Wireless carriers advertise cell phone plans at fixed prices, but more often than not, the fine details in those contracts could be littered with other chargers that may not be as clear to customers. That’s basically at the center of a class action lawsuit aimed at Verizon Wireless, in which plaintiffs allege that the advertised plans were misleading because they didn’t include an admin charge — going further to claim that an increase in the administrative charge was done in a deceptive and unfair manner.
The lawsuit has led to a $100 million settlement that could mean up to $100 payments made to current or former Verizon Wireless who bought a postpaid wireless plan in the past seven years. This is all contingent upon the settlement being approved and finalized, which Verizon would then pay out to a settlement fund.
