AT&T Agrees To Reimburse Fla Customers For Misleading Charges

The nation's largest cell phone carrier has agreed to pay thousands of Florida consumers who were billed for services like ringtones and text messaging that were advertised as free. Money CNN reports.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum announced the settlement with AT&T Mobility, a unit of AT&T.

The agreement allows consumers to seek refunds for the fraudulent billing, so the amount the Atlanta-based company will pay will depend on how many customers do so.

Officials in the attorney general's office say the amount could be in the tens of millions of dollars."
