AT&T Ends Operator and Information Service For Digital Customers

[launderess]

"Starting in January, AT&T customers with digital landlines won’t be able to dial 411 or 0 to reach an operator or get directory assistance. AT&T in 2021 ended operator services for wireless callers, although customers with home phone landlines can still access operators and directory help. Verizon, T-Mobile and other major carriers still offer these services for a fee."

Ahh the good old days...

I can't find anything about this in ATT (the forum, not the company).

Ralph is this title thread #92280. Perhaps you have this member blocked?

AT&T is a piece of crap. Since they took over Directv all they did was take off good channels and replace them with more garbage and shopping channels and raise prices. Sound typical for them to take away and charge more.

Makes sense Eddie.  I'll read about it elsewhere.

I can't find it either...

I used to be a GTE telephone operator... Good Lord what a job that was...

Mark like I said to Ralph, perhaps you have the member that started the other thread blocked?

Sounds like I'm not alone, but if Eddie's right, I stand by the decision I made sometime in the past.  Missing out on one thread is a small price to pay for keeping my blood from boiling or making my eyes roll out of my head.

Eddie,

 

Who started the "other" thread you are referring to?

 

 

[ea56]

Rich,
In the spirit of discretion I’d prefer not saying who. I’ve given the thread number in reply #4 and its in the “green” forum As the Tub Turns. So if you can’t see this thread, then through a process of deduction you may be able to tell who it is if you’ve blocked any other members.
