T-Mobile CEO John Legere said his company will drop all overage charges for customers. Legere urged Verizon, AT&T and Sprint to do the same. “Charging overage fees is a greedy, predatory practice that needs to go,” Legere said in a Monday news release (http://t-mo.co/1n6Yeu5). “Starting in May for bills arriving in June -- regardless of whether you're on Simple Choice, Simple Starter or an older plan, we're abolishing overages for good.” Some carrier wireless plans are “purpose-built to drive customers over that invisible line into massive overage charges,” he said. “The result has been a culture of fear, worry and surprise every time the wireless bill arrives.” T-Mobile posted an anti-overage charge petition addressed to “wireless carriers,” which had more than 4,500 signatures recorded at our deadline (http://chn.ge/1qX0sd0).
