UPDATE: It happened. the T-Mobile plane took to the skies today to write “#AbolishOverages” above Verizon’s headquarters. John Legere’s Tweet reads, “HEY verizon! LOOK UP!! NOW DO WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT!!” Will Big Red respond? We’ll have to wait and see.
Rest of the story below.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere is pulling some crazy stunts (literally) on Twitter again. He earlier got rid of those hefty overage charges at T-Mobile and started a Change.org petition, asking other carriers to do the same. It received over 330,000 signatures, and carriers have not responded. Obviously Legere’s next step is to send a plane over Verizon’s headquarters in New Jersey to skywrite a message to carriers nationwide.
In 2013 alone, 20 million Americans were hit with $1 billion in overcharge charges from Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. That’s a staggering number that T-Mobile refuses to be apart of, and is urging its competitors to do the same. That said, T-Mobile is still parading its #AbolishOverages petition across Twitter, and will even be skywriting it atop of Verizon headquarters.
Will this invoke any change from carriers? We’re not certain, but it’s still worth a shot!
