The trees and AT&T
I have recently heard that an IPhone user received a phone bill that consisted of approximately 300 pages in a box. My question to AT&T would be, HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF EMAIL, and who in the world wants to know what several hundred/thousand sites you have visited on your cellphone???? I mean, a browser has a history function so...... wtf are you people doing wasting hundreds of pages of paper on something that most certainly will end up in the trash???

There are things called email accounts that a bill can be sent to, a user can choose to print it if he/she so desires.

There are things called websites that a bill could be posted to with a username and password that a client could use to access his/her bill.

My suggestion to AT&T would be to use the modern technology that has enabled them to become the monster that they are to

A: Save trees

B: Save carbon black used to make ink cartridges (burnt oil)

C: Save shipping expenses

D: Save the personal aggravation experienced by people receiving records that

1: they already have

2: they don't really want

3: they don't really need

4: they probably wish weren't generated

5: they probably wish were deleted

6: they could inform you of the need for them if and when they wanted

AT&T, wake up and smell the chainsaws cutting down the raw materials for your needless billing records.

1. I promise you AT&T does not care.
They do not care what any of us think, whether we are customers or not.

AT&T is one of the worst examples of corporate abuse on consumers, they have the worst customer service, and don't forget they gave the NSA the red carpet treatment to spy on us.

I do not do business with AT&T, neither should anyone else concerned about the way things are in America today.

Your example, their waste and total disregard for the environment, is just one more reason to support their competition.
