Frustrated with @ATT's premature phone number reassignment? New Owners get bombarded with old calls, OTPs & privacy risks! Happened to you? @FCC @EFF, time for stricter rules? @josephfcox @garrytan, thoughts on better telecom security? #ATT #PhonePrivacy #ConsumerRights

AT&T shut down my long-time prepaid line and reassigned my trusted number to someone else. Losing a number used for banking and 2FA isn’t a “minor issue” it’s a real security risk. @ATTHelp @publiccitizen @NCLC4consumers @NAAGAttorneyGen #ATT #ConsumerRights #PhoneNumberSecurity

After 10+ yrs with my @ATT prepaid line, they killed my account and reassigned my long-time number to someone else. This is a security risk, not a glitch. @ATTHelp @FTC @FCC @CFPB @bbb_us #ATT #ConsumerProtection #Telecom

Protected speech. Did AT&T quietly reassign paid, active prepaid numbers after text-confirmed extensions? FCC §52.15 says carriers can ONLY reclaim unused numbers, is this a “glitch” or policy? Let's dig deeper!! @FCC @BrendanCarrFCC @EFF @karaswisher @mkbhd #ATTReassignFraud

Honest question for AT&T customers: has your mobile number ever suddenly stopped working or been reassigned with no clear warning? I’m trying to see if this is isolated or widespread. Reply with what happened. #ConsumerRights #TelecomFraud @FCC @bbb_us

Tonight I hear more AT&T customers alleging that paid mobile numbers were reassigned without real notice, while telecom complaints stack up at regulators by the tens of thousands each year. This happen to you? #ConsumerRights #TelecomFraud @FCC @FTC @NewJerseyAG

Protected speech. Paid, active prepaid number extended by text. Months later AT&T quietly reassigns it away. FCC §52.15 + state consumer laws say that’s not allowed. Who else got hit? Let’s talk,strength in numbers @karaswisher @mkbhd @EFF @Public_Citizen @verge #ATTReassignFraud

Paid extension confirmed by text. Number still reassigned. 47 USC §201(b) + NJCFA treble damages could apply. Who's in the fight against AT&T? Strength in numbers! Fight back against alleged corporate overreach. #ATTScam @FCC @FTC @NewJerseyAG

Day 2 – Tweet 1 (9:00 AM ET) If Big telecom carriers ignore written demands for months after a paid number is reassigned. In many States, strong consumer protection laws & fee shifting can turn that into real leverage fight back #ConsumerRights @NewJerseyAG @FCC @ConsumerReports

FCC data: 15,000+ AT&T wireless complaints in 2024-25 (up 28%). FTC: 7,200+ alleged reports against AT&T last year (up 22%). r/ATT: 100s of identical stories in the last 18 months. Customers getting affected while AT&T hides behind excuses. Enough is enough. #TelecomFraud

Federal law protects paid, active numbers. State consumer laws hit even harder. If AT&T did this to you? Reply, quote, or DM. In America, the average Joe still has a fighting chance when the law is on our side. @ATT @ATTHelp @FCC @FTC @AFergusonFTC #ATTReassignFraud

AT&T took my 10-year New Jersey prepaid number in 2022, even though I had paid and extended it through January 2023. They blamed me. They stonewalled me. This isn’t one mistake, a "pattern" seems to be evolving. #ATTScam #NumberTheft @ATT @ATTHelp @FCC @FTC @AFergusonFTC
