Did you Really Read it...

AT&T Sent out a little snippet that let you know that your data is our utmost concern, but just so you know we're sharing it already, hope you don't mind...

Oh, thanks...we think...NOT...unsubscribe from it...

"AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE PRIVACY OF YOUR CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION (OR CPNI)"


"The protection of our customers' privacy is of utmost importance to the employees and management of the AT&T family of companies (AT&T)*. Please take a moment to read the following important message about the privacy of your customer information.
 AT&T companies that provide telecommunications and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service (which permits VoIP customers to both send and receive calls to/from customers with traditional telephone/telecommunications service) would like to share your customer proprietary network information (CPNI) within the AT&T family of companies for our own marketing purposes, including using that information to offer you additional products and services.
 What is CPNI? Your CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services you currently purchase, how you use them and the related billing for those services. CPNI does not include your telephone number, your name or your address. Protecting the confidentiality of your CPNI is your right and our duty under federal law. As an AT&T customer, you can restrict the use of your CPNI even within the AT&T family of companies.
 To allow AT&T to use your CPNI, no further action is required. AT&T and our authorized agents will not sell, trade or share your CPNI with anyone other than those who are in the AT&T family of companies or are AT&T authorized agents, unless required by law.
 If at any time you would prefer that AT&T not use your CPNI to offer you additional products and services, you may:

  •   Submit an online form at https://www.att.com/ecpnioptout/InitiateCPNIForm.action; or
  •   Call 800.315.8303 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and follow the prompts; or
  •   To speak to a service representative call 800.288.2020.

 Your decision to permit or restrict the use of CPNI will remain in effect until you decide to change it, which you can do at any time without charge. Restricting our use of your CPNI will not affect the provision of any AT&T products or services to which you currently subscribe, nor will it eliminate other types of marketing contacts.
 Thank you for choosing AT&T. We appreciate your business."

It probably won't work for you and they'll refer you to this # 1-800-288-2020, but don't it's just 611 from your phone and they won't know what you're talking about...

Just dial # 800.315.8303, but it probably will give you a technical error and won't be able to process it, just dial back and do it again and it should finish the restriction process.
