AT&T named in mobile phone law suit - WSJ
NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) - A consumer-products distributor is suing AT&T Corp(T - news), contending the phone group accepted new mobile-phone users while aware it could not accommodate the added customers, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The suit, filed last week in New York State Supreme Court by the closely held Naevus International Inc. is trying to secure class-action status for all AT&T Digital One Rate subscribers, the newspaper said.

The plan enables consumers to call anywhere in the country without being charged long-distance or erratic ''roaming'' fees, the newspaper said.

In the suit, the New Jersey based company contends its employees were forced to deal with repeated dropped calls and busy signals while travelling, according to the Journal. The interruptions made the service ''grossly unreliable and virtually unstable,'' the Journal quoted the suit as saying.

The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages for alleged false advertising and fraud, according to the newspaper.

AT&T acknowledged that demand outstripped capacity in some of its biggest markets, but it described the law suit as frivolous and part of a publicity stunt, the Journal said.

(ROFLMAO!) SURE IS A NICE STORY! (I take back every bad thing I ever said about lawyers)
