In 2014, AT&T agreed to pay $105 million to settle its mobile cramming cases, including $80 million in consumer refunds.

A federal settlement awarded some $158 million – $90 million from Verizon and $68 million from Sprint – to victims of the practice, with a collection deadline of December 31 of this year, the NBC4 story said.

Verizon and Sprint have previously said they stopped the cramming practice long before the government began its investigations.

According to Verizon, refund amounts may be lower than expected depending on the total number of claims filed. That’s also assuming customers who try to make claims are eligible in the first place. The activity has come to be known as “cramming”.
