Last year, things got heated between AT&T and T-Mobile over the latter’s claims that the former doesn’t give discounts to seniors who reside outside Florida.
AT&T filed a lawsuit against the Un-carrier for its claim that “92% of seniors in the US can’t get a wireless discount from Verizon or AT&T because they don’t live in Florida” on its Unlimited 55+ plan. In its complaint, AT&T claimed that T-Mobile was doing false advertising and that it had created a campaign to intentionally “deceive senior citizens.”
Thankfully, a settlement between both parties was reached last week. The two companies confirmed the report to Fierce Wireless and shared a similar statement:
“The parties have reached a mutually agreeable resolution”
Prior to this agreement, AT&T wanted a jury trial and for T-Mo to discontinue the campaign. They also wanted the Un-carrier to give up the profits they earned from the campaign and pay compensatory damages and attorneys fees. It’s unclear whether AT&T’s demands were approved, but prior to the report, T-Mobile continued to call out its competitors’ “ludicrous practices” up until this week.
Hopefully, the settlement they made was enough to satisfy both parties.
