T-Mobile users can sue over cell phone spam

Disgruntled T-Mobile USA customers can move forward with their lawsuit against the wireless carrier over unsolicited text messages, under a federal court ruling earlier this week. [via Seattle Post Intelligencer]

"Marco Zaldivar, a T-Mobile subscriber, filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and others in U.S. District Court in Seattle in October saying customers had no way to disable their cell phones from receiving text messages, forcing them to pay 10 to 15 cents for each one.

Federal judge Richard Jones on Tuesday denied T-Mobile's motion to dismiss the case."
