The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights has filed a class action suit against AT&T and Cingular. Cingular denies all wrongdoing, accusing the Foundation's lawyer of making "false and misleading statements."
The Foundation's complaint attacks AT&T and Cingular's post-merger conduct. It alleges: "Cingular deliberately schemed to dismantle the AT&T Wireless network so as to diminish and degrade the service provided to AT&T Wireless customers." The scheme was intended "to induce AT&T Wireless customers into 'transferring' from their AT&T Wireless plan to a Cingular plan," which allegedly offers "less favorable terms." According to the complaint, consumers have suffered due to "diminished service in the form of dropped calls as well as poor or no reception in areas where they previously received adequate reception."
The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment/common law restitution, and violations of various states' unfair and deceptive acts and practices statutes. The Foundation filed it in the federal district court sitting in Seattle.






I'm being forced to give up my AT&T phone and service too. They (Cingular) are making our service so bad that we have to switch to new contract and phones with Cingular chips. Is there anyway for other to get in on this breach of contract lawsuit?
