Looks like there was a court ruling this week in the favour of the consumers, and now a lawyer is organizing a class action.

I hate seeing the $7 fee every month on my bill. If it's a cost of doing business, then work it into the price. If every business did what cell, airlines, etc do, then our lives would be more complicated. Imagine ordering a pizza, and asking how much the pizza is. You are told $4 and you order it. Then the guy tells you you owe him $20 after fees.

My questions to our resident lawyers; is there any danger in signing up for this? ie- I really don't care if I only get 33% of a judgement back if it means no more of these fees. But I also don't want to submit my name, then be asked for a $500 retainer or anything.
