How to Check if You're Eligible for Some of $160 Million in Cramming Refunds

It’s been a little hard to keep track of all of the cramming settlements (and lawsuits) lodged against the major four wireless carriers over the last few months. But with $160 million set aside -- so far -- for subscriber refunds, it’s worth looking to see if you might be due some money back:

• AT&T: If you are a current or former AT&T wireless subscriber, you may be eligible for a refund. As of mid-December, the Federal Trade Commission had received 1.2 million consumer claims for refunds. You have until May 1 to file a refund claim. You can file a claim or find out more on the FTC website.
• T-Mobile: Current and former T-Mobile subscribers may be eligible for refunds. You have until April 30 to ask for an account summary, which would show if you might be eligible for a refund. You then have until June 30 to file a claim. T-Mobile has set up a site where you can file a claim or find out more.
• Sprint: Current and former Sprint customers aren’t eligible for any refunds yet, but that could change soon.
• Verizon: So far, Verizon customers are out of luck when it comes to cramming refunds.
