AT&T’s mobile telephone service provider would pay $10 5 mil lion to resolve accusations the telecom billed customers — including many in Wisconsin — for unauthorized third-party services, according to terms of a proposed settlement.

AT&T Mobility took a cut from the $9.99-a-month typically charged for “premium” text messaging, according to a complaint from the attorneys general of every state.

The practice has become known as “cramming.”

The proposed financial settlement is in two parts: $80 million for refunds to customers and $ 25 mil lion to the states, Wisconsin’s share of which is $308,994.

AT&T will have to set up policies and training to assure that such “cramming” doesn’t happen again and redesign its bills so third-party charges are easy for customers to see, according to the proposed settlement.

The complaint accused AT&T of charging, until as recently as early this year, for services offered by third-party merchants that were unrelated to the telephone services provided by the company, such as a “Premium Short Message Service” that provides horoscopes, trivia and sports scores.
