Overview
- Notices are going out now to eligible users, and a final approval hearing is planned in June before any money is sent.
- U.S. residents who used an Android phone with a cellular data plan since November 12, 2017 may qualify, while Californians covered by an earlier case are excluded.
- The lawsuit says Android sent data to Google in the background, sometimes over cellular networks that used customers’ paid data, and Google denies any wrongdoing.
- The $135 million fund will be reduced by legal and administrative costs, payments are capped at $100 per person, and most people should expect smaller amounts.
- Most people will not file a claim and will instead choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH, or a prepaid card after a notice, with a late May deadline to opt out or object and official help at FederalCellularClassAction.com or 1-844-655-4255.
