According to the The Kansas City Star in “Suit alleges Sprint Nextel charged customers for unauthorized content,” Sprint Nextel Corp. is the “latest wireless carrier to be hit with a lawsuit alleging it charged customers for unauthorized ‘mobile content,’ including ringtones, sports scores and weather reports.”

The putative class action lawsuit was filed in Lyon County, Kansas, and then removed to federal court by Sprint. The Kansas City Star reports that the case is one of “several dozen similar class-actions filed across the country against the nation’s largest wireless carriers.”

“It really is the Wild West out there,” according to lead plaintiff’s attorney in the Kansas case, Jay Edelson of KamberEdelson, LLC in Chicago. “You’ve got thousands of very small companies who sell mobile content, and if they have your cell phone number they can start charging you.”

Edelson is reported to have said that about 30 putative class-action lawsuits have been filed nationwide by consumers over unauthorized charges on their cell phone bills.
