Verizon Wireless cheated millions of customers with bogus data charges, lawyers allege in a growing class-action lawsuit.
The cellphone-service provider has been tacking on $1.99 Internet usage fees even when customers’ phones were turned off or when they accidentally launched the browser and didn’t download a kilobyte of data, according to the suit in Newark federal court.
Verizon Wireless even rigged phones to make it easy to accidentally launch the browser, said lawyer Peter Cambs, of the firm Parker Waichman Alonso.
Verizon Wireless declined to comment.
