$40 Million Fine

Can you imagine paying a fine for $40 million dollars? T-Mobile the phone service company is being charged a hefty amount of money for giving their customers "false rings" in order to make them believe they had phone service, when in reality, they did not. The company claims they have stopped using those false rings last January, but whether that is true or not is up in the air. "False ring tones also create a misleading impression that a caller's service provider is not responsible if the call fails. False ring tones are a problem on calls to rural areas and are a symptom of the problems of impaired quality and completion of calls to rural areas," says the FCC's order.
