Verizon Class Action Lawsuit: Today we are going to talk about a very big news, which has brought relief to millions of Verizon Wireless customers.
America’s largest telecom company Verizon Wireless has recently settled a Class Action Lawsuit (collective legal suit) related to its customers.
In this case, Verizon Wireless was accused of charging hidden administrative charges from its customers and did not give correct information to the customers about it. Because of this, such fees kept getting added to the mobile bills of the people, about which they were not given any warning in advance.
Now the company has announced to return the amount of $ 100 million (about Rs 830 crore) to the customers to settle this case.
If you have also been a customer of Verizon Wireless, then this article is for you. Let us know in detail:
What is Verizon Class Action?
This class action was filed against Verizon Wireless in the US some time ago.
The issue was that Verizon did not give clear information about the “Administrative Fee” or “Telecom Recovery Fee” in its advertisements. People thought that whatever rate of the plan is being told, only that much will have to be paid.
But when these hidden charges started getting added in the bill in addition to the phone service charge, then people’s monthly bills started coming more than expected.
What were the allegations against Verizon?
Customers said that:
- Verizon Wireless did not tell in the advertisements that the administrative fee will also be charged
- How much the fee will be, when will it be applicable – this information was also not given properly
- The bill was suddenly increased without correct information
- All this comes under the purview of “Misleading Advertising”
What was the company’s response?
Verizon Wireless said in court that they had made no mistake.
But to avoid continuous litigation and increasing legal fees, the company decided to settle.
So they agreed on a settlement fund of $100 million, so that customers could be returned a lump sum.
Who will be eligible for this Verizon Settlement?
If you want to know whether you will get money under this settlement or not, then check the criteria given below:
- You should have had a postpaid service of Verizon Wireless.
That is, you had taken a plan in which you got a fixed bill every month. - When did you take this service?
If you took Verizon Wireless’s service between January 1, 2016 and November 8, 2025 and paid the admin fee, then you fall in this category. - Did you fill the claim form or not?
The last date for filling the claim form was 15 April 2025. If you had filled the form on time, then now you should wait to get the money.
How much money will be received?
This is the biggest question – how much money is going to be received in Verizon Settlement?
So let’s understand its answer in detail:
Base Payment:
- Every eligible person will get a fixed amount of at least $ 15.
(This is about Rs 1200–1300).
Monthly Service Bonus:
- Apart from this, if you have paid admin fees for a long time, then you can get 1 dollar extra every month.
- Maximum limit: Up to $ 85.
How much can you get maximum?
- In total, a person can get up to $ 15 base + $ 85 bonus = total $ 100.
That is, about Rs 8300–8500.

- It is expected that payments will start from April 2025.
- But practically, many people are reporting that money will start coming around July 2025.

Why did this settlement happen?
You must be wondering why the company had to make such a big settlement?
In fact:
- When thousands of customers filed a case together, it became a Class Action Lawsuit.
- The matter also remained in the media – because the trust of the customers was broken.
- People were having to pay extra fees without trust.
