A newly unsealed lawsuit in Sacramento County accuses some of the nation’s biggest wireless service providers of defrauding the state of California by charging for services they didn’t provide.
The suit accuses Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and AT&T Mobility of falsely claiming they were “optimizing” phone rates for nearly two dozen California cities, counties, school districts and fire districts. The carriers had promised to re-evaluate plaintiffs’ rate plans regularly to ensure they weren’t signed up for too many or too few minutes, according to the complaint filed in 2012 and unsealed for the first time Tuesday.
