Flores, et al. v. Total Call International, Inc. et al.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Total Call International, Inc. ("Total Call"), announced that it has reached a settlement with plaintiffs in a nationwide class action lawsuit related to its sale of prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services. In the lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that Total Call distributed or sold prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services to consumers without fully disclosing the applicable rates and fees associated with those cards and services. As part of the settlement, Total Call denies any wrongdoing or liability. The parties agreed to the settlement to avoid further costs and uncertainties related to litigation.
The class action, Flores et al. v.

The settlement will provide refund Personal Identification Numbers ("PINs") to those who either submit proof of purchase or a PIN of an eligible prepaid calling card/calling service or submit a signed statement declaring that they were the purchaser of an eligible Total Call calling card or prepaid calling service. Total Call agreed to provide refund PINs worth up to $600,000 to eligible consumers of Total Call prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services. Eligible consumers are entitled to a refund PIN with a value of $1.50 for domestic calls at $0.10 per minute and international calls to certain destinations at $0.25 or $0.50 per minute.
