SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The San Diego-based law firm's investigation concerns whether Verizon Wireless charges consumers for unintentionally sending or receiving data on mobile phones. Several media articles have reported that consumers are being charged $1.99 each time they accidentally connect to the Internet. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to Verizon Wireless on December 4, 2009, inquiring whether customers were charged for accidental data usage. The FCC also asked whether mobile phones sold by Verizon Wireless had pre-programmed keys that provided direct access to mobile web services and whether customers were charged for accidentally pressing these keys.
If you have been charged data usage fees by Verizon Wireless for unintentionally or inadvertently sending or receiving data on your mobile phone, and you would like more information about your rights as a consumer, please contact attorney Lauren Levi at 800-350-6003 or by email at llevi@robbinsumeda.com.
