T-Mobile filed the stipulated permanent injunctions in King County, Wash., Superior Court against Anderson Private Investigators and Global Information Group, two companies T-Mobile believes unlawfully obtained and sold call records. The injunctions prohibit the two entities, and their related companies and individuals, from engaging in this illicit practice, including barring advertising that they can or will obtain non-public information regarding any wireless telephone subscribers.

"T-Mobile will continue to pursue organizations and individuals that breach our customers’ right to privacy," said Dave Miller, senior vice president and General Counsel, T-Mobile USA. "This is a principle we must aggressively defend."

Last week, T-Mobile filed suit and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order in the same Court to stop Locatecell.com, as well as related companies and individuals, from allegedly engaging in such illegal behavior. Prior to that, T-Mobile had issued numerous cease and desist letters against companies that were believed to have illegally obtained and sold calling records. T-Mobile continues a thorough internal investigation into the actions of these companies.

T-Mobile endorses the need for federal legislation that strengthens penalties against anyone that obtains, sells or distributes, through fraudulent means, the private calling records of mobile phone customers.
