Consumer Protections Lacking For Mobile Payments Charged to Phone Accounts

December 18, 2011 |

Consumers Union Calls on Wireless Carriers to Strengthen Mobile Payment Protections for Consumers
 
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»

December 7, 2011 |

Washington, D.C. – Earlier today, AT&T responded in a blog post to the FCC’s recently released staff report on its proposed merger with T-Mobile, calling it unfair and “one-sided.”

Stocks finish August on upswing after wild month

By Frazier Allen | September 2, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – A set of encouraging economic reports on Wednesday propelled stocks to their fourth straight winning session as one of the market’s wildest months ever came to a close.

The reports showed an increase in private-sector hiring, better-than-expected manufacturing activity in the Chicago area and an increase in factory orders nationwide – all good signs for investors who have alternated between fear and hope throughout the month. However, stocks were negatively impacted after the Justice Department sued to block AT&T’s proposed $39 billion takeover of T-Mobile USA Inc. and the Greek parliament said a worsening recession will weigh on the country’s debt. «Read the rest of this article»

Consumer Reports finds Hidden Costs in Cell-Phone and Digital-Wallet Payment Services

August 4, 2011 |

Survey finds Americans not clamoring to pay with cell phones just yet

Yonkers, NY – While Americans are still using plenty of cash, checks, credit and debit cards to pay their bills, new electronic methods such as paying by cell phone or digital wallets are emerging. Before jumping in, consumers should be aware of the disparity in loss liability and consumer protections they offer, according to Consumer Reports.

CR’s latest investigation into these new payment options finds that banks and technology companies are jostling for a greater share of the $50 billion a year in fees generated by everyday transactions. Some services by PayPal, Obopay, Square, Zong, and FaceCash already allow you to pay for purchases with your cell phone, but so-called digital wallet services are scheduled to hit the market soon. «Read the rest of this article»

T-Mobile beats AT&T in Consumer Reports’ satisfaction survey

April 19, 2011 |

Yonkers, NY – T-Mobile hasn’t exactly been delighting its customers, but AT&T’s cell-phone service has been less satisfying in nearly every respect, according to a head-to-head comparison of data from the most recent cell-phone satisfaction survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.

The findings (available to subscribers), based on the responses of more than 50,000 Consumer Reports.org subscribers surveyed last fall, suggest that the proposed merger of the two carriers would be a setback to T-Mobile customers were it to lead to service that more resembles AT&T’s than T-Mobile’s. «Read the rest of this article»

Consumer Reports Analysis: T-Mobile is cheaper than AT&T

April 12, 2011 |

Yonkers, NY – A new Consumer Reports analysis shows that T-Mobile wireless plans typically cost $15,00 to $50.00 less per month than comparable plans from AT&T, the wireless giant that’s seeking to swallow the smaller carrier.

The finding supports anecdotal observations that T-Mobile is generally a lower-priced carrier than AT&T. It also validates concerns that T-Mobile subscribers who eventually migrated to AT&T plans would likely pay more for service than they would have under a T-Mobile plan—and that T-Mobile’s departure from the wireless market would eliminate a relatively low-cost carrier as an option for new customers. «Read the rest of this article»
