TCPA class action lawsuitAT&T Wireless, which merged with Cingular Wireless in 2004 and became AT&T Mobility in 2007, engaged in shady billing practices, according to several class action lawsuits filed in California and Washington. If you were an AT&T Wireless subscriber any time after March 1, 1999 and were billed certain charges, you could receive up to $10 if the proposed class action settlements are approved.

(1) Lozano Settlement Class:

Includes those who had a “One Rate-type” plan with AT&T Wireless any time between March 1, 1999 and the Effective Date.

    I was notified several years ago about my account with Cingular. I moved from my previous location,therefore I never received any more notice. I was told that there was a lawsuit in progress and I was included for a refund but I had to do nothing because my account was already on file. I just would like to know the end result if possible. Please and thank you.
