In a recent development, the misuse  of  the term “unlimited” by some operators has come under scrutiny. Following this revelation, the consumer defense association UFC-Que Choisir decided to sue ten operators. The  central question  revolves around the use of the term “unlimited” by operators in their offers, while simultaneously seeking to limit their liability and their compensation.

Misleading use of the term “Unlimited”

The misuse of the term “unlimited” has raised concerns among consumers and consumer protection organisations. When carriers advertise their services as “unlimited,” customers expect unrestricted access or use, without any hidden limitations or conditions. However, it has been observed that some carriers have used this term wrongly, imposing various restrictions or limitations that contradict the promise of unlimited services.

Legal action initiated by UFC-Que Choisir

UFC-Que Choisir , a renowned consumer defense association, has taken a decisive step by taking legal action against ten operators. The purpose of this lawsuit is to hold these operators accountable for their misleading advertising practices and to seek appropriate remedies on behalf of affected consumers. By highlighting the discrepancy between the term “unlimited” and the limitations imposed by operators, UFC-Que Choisir aims to protect consumer rights and ensure transparency in the telecommunications market.

These lawsuits seek to address the operators’ adversarial approach of promoting unlimited services while simultaneously attempting to limit their liability and compensation. The lawsuit underscores the importance of accurate and transparent advertising, allowing consumers to make informed decisions based on truthful representations of the services they subscribe to.
