AT&T sued for over-billing iOS users

article published on 1 February, 2011

AT&T has been sued this week for over-billing iOS users by 'systematically overstating' the data use of iPad and iPhone owners. The class-action suit was filed by Patrick Hendricks who says a third-party consulting firm studied AT&T's data billing practices for 60 days and found that some users have their usage overstated by 7 percent, while others had it overstated by 300 percent. ... [ read the full article ]

Wow, Apple really lucked out with the timing of the Verizon iPhone; something tells me that this will not help AT&T iPhone sales.

I wonder how this will turn out. I used to have AT&T over 2yrs ago when the iPhone 3G first came out and canceled my service and contract after a year because of their obscenely high prices. Paid the hefty early termination fee and just last month received a letter in the mail saying I owe them even more money!

As far as phone US cell companies go, they are the greediest and stingiest (with Verizon in a close second). Hopefully they lose a lot of money and have to refund their customers for this.

I'm rather curious how the rest of the cellular carriers fare under the same scrutiny. Luckily, my Sprint account has truly unlimited data, so "over-billing" me for data usage simply doesn't happen, but not ALL Sprint plans are unlimited, and the other carriers... Well, I doubt they're much "purer" than AT&T.

Sprint user here to. I find this rather......."funny" I know what my bill will be every month. Never an overage. I wonder how long this has gone on. Was always funny how ATT always seemed to have alot more advertising money then other competators. Guess it could have just been they had a larger advertising budget though.
