It seems that hardly a day goes by now that I don't get
a call from ATT, selling Uverse. I would think an unlist-
ed number(a feature for which I am billed monthly), might
be a clue not to solicit on the line.

Just as a sample, these recent calls have occurred on
12/24, 12/26, and again today, on 12/27.

Perhaps they even called on 12/25, don't know, I wasn't
home, and they're just too shy to leave a message.

When ATT's FIOS alternative first surfaced, they loaded
my neighborhood with an army of sales droids. As our
turn for the pitch came, I listened attentively, and agreed
to accept the introductory service.

However, I was only interested in the IP support, and
not the TV portion. I stated such to the droid, and he
assured me the Uverse segment could be cancelled
after a relatively short designated period.

Fearing that the droid just might not fully communicate
my Uverse wishes effectively, I chose to write on the
contract, near the signature:

"No Permanent Uverse"

The droid happily took the sale. assured me the process
would begin shortly, and moved on to his next mark.

Over the last 60 days, that was the last I've heard from
ATT concerning that contract.

So, ATT take note, I don't want to talk to you about
Uverse. And you might also try targeting your solicita-
tions only to those openly listing their numbers.
