Bell & Telus hit with class action lawsuit for text message fee

Montreal law firm, Saint-Pierre Grenier, has filed a class action suit against both Bell Mobility Inc. and Telus Communications Inc. on behalf of Eric Cormier (a Bell Mobility subscriber). Cormier is saying “both companies are acting illegally by unilaterally changing the terms of cellular contracts with their clients”. Telus and Bell plan to charge customers $0.15 per incoming text messages (Bell starting Aug. 8th and Telus on Aug. 24th).
