I've not been following the situation but isn't AT&T trying to migrate
everyone to UVerse VoIP by 2020?....or do they still need to buy some
new regulations?



Last year I used to get email notices for someone elses Uverse monthly
bill. I tried multiple times to contact UVerse and tell them I was
getting someone elses bill via email. I called them, emailed them, went
to their website and sent in multiple complaints. FINALLY, I had enough
and decided to log into that UVerse account (since it was being sent TO
ME) and change the email notification email to (or
something to that affect), and I changed the users last name to "Idiot".

I NEVER got another email notice from UVerse for someone elses bill
again!

Why would you? It was a one time mistake (to you). You should have
changed
it to ATT's President, or something.

Back when junk faxes were all too common, many of them had a number you
could call to opt out (why should you have to? Would they actually opt
you
out? Your number certainly wouldn't be removed from the master list sold
to
anyone who wanted it).

Then I noticed the phone tree included an option not just to opt out, but
to
add fax numbers to receive future junk faxes. So I opted in the FCC fax
number and the state Attorney General's fax number.



DARN! I'll remember that the next time! Great idea.


yeah, but it didn't take long for that choice on the phone menu to be
removed. But I got the last laugh for a while.



So did I!
