NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - December 15, 2009) - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, announces
that it has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of those who purchased or
otherwise acquired products and/or services in reliance of MetroPCS
Communications, Inc.'s ("MetroPCS" or the "Company") (NYSE : PCS ) false
advertising, not knowing that there were major restrictions to the
unlimited international calling plan during the period between June 1, 2009
through and including December 9, 2009 (the "Class Period").
The complaint says that MetroPCS offered unlimited international calls for
a mere $5 a month, on top of the $45 flat fee attached to the company's
"Ultimate Unlimited" plan, but never mentioned to consumers that the plan
excludes calls to many foreign destinations. According to the complaint,
class members bought the service "in reliance of such advertisements." The
complaint accuses MetroPCS of using "bait and switch/deceptive trade
practices," including misleading advertising, to lure customers into
signing up for the plan. The complaint alleges that MetroPCS is in
violation of New York General Business Law § 349 and §350 and substantially
similar statutes of different states.
No Class has yet been certified in the above action. If you wish to review
