A year ago we announced we were abolishing overages at T‑Mobile.
We put a stop to a predatory industry practice and we challenged AT&T, Verizon and Sprint to follow our lead.
CEO John Legere even created a petition at [change.org/abolishoverages](http://www.change.org/p/wireless-carriers-abolishoverages-att-verizonwireless-and-sprint) so consumers could easily speak out and help drive the carriers to change their ways.
To date, nearly 200,000 consumers across the US have signed the petition, and it is one of the most popular on change.org out of literally thousands and thousands of petitions on the site.
And you know what the carriers did to change?
Absolutely nothing.
They continue to punish their customers with an estimated $1.5 billion in overage fees last year!
So it’s time to take our message to the next level and let these guys know that we won’t stop!
Help John Legere and T‑Mobile send them a message they won’t miss – one that you can help choose!
Watch this VLOG from John to hear more, and see how you can take action to help change this industry!
