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.
