Yet another way wireless customers are getting screwed: A class action suit filed in federal court in Mississippi alleges a handful of businesses -- including AT&T Mobility, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, Alltel, U.S. Cellular, Cellular South and Virgin Mobile USA -- unlawfully charged customers for receiving text messages but did not offer them the chance to opt out or disable the service, according to an RCR Wireless News report.
Sounds awfully similar to old complaints about telemarketers calling wireless phones (on the customer's dime), which eventually paved the way for the Do Not Call Registry.
