It is important to offer customers many forms of payment


Toll Road Payment Options

You might think, “Blimey. Is this photoshopped?”

No, they really do that. That’s typically the option I choose. They have one man, in particular, who is very gentle, and even gives you a reach-around.

In Case You Didn’t Think AT&T and the .Gov Were Spying on You

AT&T Statement on NSA Issue

Spybot

At AT&T, we vigorously protect our customers’ privacy and only share information as specifically authorized by the law.

The news media have carried reports alleging that AT&T is participating in an unlawful NSA terrorist surveillance program. Unfortunately, the law does not permit AT&T to respond to those allegations.

The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that AT&T may neither confirm nor deny AT&T’s participation in the alleged NSA program because doing so would cause “exceptionally grave harm to national security” and would violate both civil and criminal statutes. Under these circumstances, AT&T is not able to respond to such allegations.

What we can say is AT&T is fully committed to protecting our customers’ privacy and would not provide customer information to any government agency except as specifically authorized under the law.
