T-Mobile Loses Appeal Regarding Class Action Lawsuits
May 28, 2008, 10:51 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Class action lawsuits have been filed against T-Mobile in several states. So far, the lawsuits have been on hold while the legality of the lawsuits has been under question. T-Mobile's contracts state that customers can't file class action suits, and have to use arbitration to settle any issues. State and federal law clash over the use of such preventative measures in contracts. Yesterday, the Supreme Court sided with consumers, and will allow the class action lawsuits to move forward despite the clauses in their contracts.

So if you cant file class action law suits...
...and it says this in the contract, is your contract void if you file a class action law suit against T-Mobile? Maybe this is an easy way out 😛
Easy for who? It seems it was the consumers who broke the contract which puts the ball in T-Mobile's court.

actually that would put you in breach of the contract giving the carrier the right to immediatly cancel your service and still charge you the termination fees. Much the same way they do if you do not pay your bill for a couple months.

HAHA!
honestly do you think just because you put it on your contracts saying you cant do a class action lawsuit it would deter anyone from still doing it? anyone can get sued for anything now and days so why do you think this would be any different. what t-mobile should do is sell the company to an indian tribe then they wont be able to get sued. those are the only corp. companies that i know that wont get sued by anyone.
ok heres a dumb question though.....what are they getting sued for? thats really going to hurt their chances of buying out sprint lol....

it would if t-mobile were thinking of buying sprint but they arent. its deutsch telecom that is looking into it.

So if an Indian tribe buys it it means that they will only operate on the reservation?(tmo has operations in MANY states) Looks like tmobile is going by-by. Right?
You sir are an idiot.

Class Action Suits Are About Lawyers
In most class action suits, the lawyers involved expand the class so much that their "clients" receive little from any settlement or decision. The law firm gets its percentage and is really the only party that gains anything of substance from the suit.

What is the point?
What is the point of a contract then?
If the customer did not want to agree to the terms DON'T SIGN YOUR NAME.

They get out of paying a contract and got a discounted price on a phone?

The point is that you shouldn't be held to a contract with illegal provisions. A phone contract shouldn't be able to take away your legal standing, and the Supreme Court agreed.
