San Francisco, CA – Most cell phone and tablet users can purchase digital goods and charge them to their monthly bill or prepaid phone account.  But they may not get the protections they need to limit their financial liability if something goes wrong with the transaction.  The protections consumers receive will vary depending on their wireless carrier’s policies and what’s in their cell phone contract, according to a new analysis by Consumers Union. 

“Consumers using mobile payments should get the same strong protections they currently enjoy when they make purchases with a credit card or debit card,” said Michelle Jun, senior attorney for Consumers Union, the nonprofit advocacy arm of Consumer Reports.  “But we found that consumer rights can vary widely between wireless carriers and the protections carriers claim to provide are often nowhere to be found in customer contracts.” «Read the rest of this article»
