AT&T México Notifies Ex‑Nextel Users Of Court‑Ordered Refunds

The company published instructions for affected customers to join a collective claim to recover payments, a 20% bonus and related costs after a federal court found Nextel failed to deliver trunking service.

Overview

  • AT&T published a formal notice on Friday explaining how customers can join collective action 271/2022 at the Juzgado Segundo de Distrito or through the common representative and set an 18‑month deadline to file claims.
  • A federal civil court earlier found that Nextel did not provide radio/trunking service efficiently between September 2008 and February 29, 2012 and ordered full refunds plus a 20% bonus and payment of expenses and fees.
  • LM Krasovsky Asociados, Sociedad Civil serves as the common representative for the class and plaintiffs can contact lawyer Luis Miguel Krasovsky Prieto for details and to adhere to the action.
  • The claim affects users of Nextel’s trunking service, a two‑way radio system widely used in Mexico, and media reporting tied to plaintiffs places the group at roughly 4 million former subscribers.
  • Plaintiffs won court amparos that forced broad public notice and threatened fines for noncompliance, and AT&T issued its notice while its sale to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings is still pending with no public change to the reimbursement process.
