AUSTIN (AP) - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott sued the nation's largest Internet-based phone service provider Tuesday, saying that Vonage failed to clearly inform customers that the service excludes access to 911 services.
Filed under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, the lawsuit seeks to stop Vonage Holdings Corp. from misrepresenting the type of emergency service it offers. It also seeks to require the company to more clearly inform consumers the 911 dialing feature is not automatically activated when they sign up for the service.
The lawsuit seeks $20,000 per violation. The service has more than 500,000 subscribers.
