The mint mobile is in hot water in a new case, claiming that the company has secretly recorded customer service calls without telling people. T -Mobile -owned career was recently filed in California, accusing him of violating state privacy laws.
The complaint came from California resident Greg May, who says he called the Customer Support of the Moux Mobile in December 2024 to ask about wireless plans. According to him, no one told him that the call was being recorded. The litigation argues that the mint mobile has a habit of recording calls without permanently notifying users. This is a big deal in California, where the law says that you cannot record the phone conversation unless everyone involved in it.
The Law of the Law Attack on the California Privacy Act, especially section 632.7, applies to calls made on cell phones and uncontrollable phones. If a company breaks this principle, they may face a fine of $ 2500 or $ 5,000 per person for each person. May the court is asking the court to represent other California residents who may have their calls with the mint mobile, which were recorded during the year without their knowledge. He is looking for $ 5,000 damages for each recorded call and wants the mint mobile to stop such recording in the future. The case, called May vs. Mint Mobile LLC, was first filed in the state court in March 2025, but has been transferred to the Federal Court in California.
