So I logged in to ATT, checked the box to opt out, hit submit, and now the page refreshes with the box unchecked. I highly doubt that I was successful in opting out.
Perhaps it is time to opt out of AT&T.<p>All you need is a smartphone,wifi, and your favorite secure chat/voip software like chatsecure, redphone, textsecure, etc.
I opted out by refusing to ever do business with AT&T after a hellish few months trying to deal with them over an internet service debacle. Once it became clear that their strategy is to lie to their customers, and then make sure that the time cost for you to get customer service is so high that you give up, I was through with them. I've never dealt with such a dysfunctional, willfully incompetent company.
With so many wifi hotspots around I dont need ATT Smartphone at all. I use Google Nexus with ATT GoPrepaid without any data connectivity. If I never need on I just go to the nearest Starbucks. :D
