Verizon Wireless sues T-Mobile, alleges false advertising

NEW YORK: Verizon Wireless sued T-Mobile ‍on Wednesday, accusing its largest rival of false advertising and causing ⁠irreparable harm by promising consumers more than $1,000 of annual savings if they switch cellphone carriers.

According to a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, ‌T-Mobile exaggerated ‌the alleged savings, sometimes by more than 100%, by comparing its promotional ‌rates with Verizon’s standard rates, and inflating the value of streaming, satellite connectivity and other benefits that “the other guys leave out.”
