Nextel
Communications Wireless

Billing Practices

Introduction

On
January 10, 2003, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein,
LLP, with co-counsel, filed suit on behalf of a proposed
California class against Nextel Communications, Inc. and
Nextel of California (“Nextel”) alleging unfair,
unlawful and deceptive business practices, breach of contract
and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing. The case, entitled Strugano, et al. v. Nextel
Communications, Inc., et al., was brought in Los Angeles
Superior Court.

The
lawsuit alleges that Nextel offered Plaintiff and Class
members service agreements on certain terms, then unilaterally
and without adequate notice, changed the terms of such contracts
to the detriment of Plaintiff and Class members.

Plaintiff's
Allegations

Plaintiff
Galit Strugano, a Nextel wireless customer, alleges that
Nextel offered her and similarly situated California consumers
a billing plan that would round up airtime calls to the
next second, instead of the next minute. Subsequently, Plaintiff
alleges, Nextel unilaterally changed the terms of its service
plan with Plaintiff and class members by imposing a new
service fee of $1.15 per month and rounding calls up to
the next minute, rather than the next second as promised.

Plaintiff
alleges that Nextel imposed these changes without adequate
or proper notification to Plaintiff and class members. As
a result, Plaintiff and class members were subjected to
additional fees and charges for which they never bargained
or consented, and which were imposed deceptively, unfairly,
and unlawfully.
