I Like the Juicy Dividend that AT&T, INC. Pays Out. But Long Term Holders Most Certainly Haven't Gotten Growth; They may even have Capital Losses if Dividends Were Withdrawn for Income and Never Reinvested. IMO, T is Good for Those that Need the Quarterly Dividend Income. Use the Dividend to Supplement your Retirement, and Pass Down the Shares to your Heirs so they Get a "Step Up in Basis". -IndependentCandy14
agree 100%. have been reading about some joint ventures for expanding. they've been around since moses. maybe they'll surprise us and possibly even be the last man standing.
I really have Not a Clue what AT&T, INC. is up to these days. Yes they have been around for Ages. I remember my Mum's Nokia from the Early 2000's: Bellsouth to Cingular to AT&T, and if I Remember Correctly from Past Readings, they were all Various Sorts of M&A's. -IndependentCandy14
so, there you have it. phone addicts will pay to get their fixes. ------ Consumers Keeping Up With Cellphone Bills Despite Economic Strains -- WSJ 10:00 am ET January 5, 2023 (Dow Jones) By Thomas Gryta AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and T-Mobile US Inc. said that consumers are still paying their bills on time despite months of high inflation and concerns over the pace of economic growth. The companies' wireless, telephone and broadband businesses touch many American households. In July, AT&T said subscribers were paying their monthly phone and internet bills on average two days slower than a year earlier. On Wednesday, AT&T finance chief Pascal Desroches said payment delinquencies were unusually low during late 2020 and 2021 but they normalized in 2022 to be "slightly worse" than prepandemic levels. "But nothing that I would say that is alarming," he said at a Citigroup conference. "It is really more of a normalization of what had been an unusually buoyant economic environment." Verizon Chief Executive Hans Vestberg said the company is also watching closely for changes in consumer behavior. "So far, we haven't seen any impact of late payments or anything like that," he said at the same Citi conference. Analysts have been watching late bill payments as a gauge of how inflation might be affecting household budgets and as an early warning sign of whether consumers would churn from current services. The companies are expected to release their quarterly earnings reports in the next few weeks. Wireless carriers have been bracing for a slower growth environment after adding customers at a breakneck pace in earlier years of the Covid-19 pandemic. While the industry remains healthy, Mr. Desroches said, he expects net customer additions to come at a more modest pace this year. "I think what you should look for is an environment where there is competition, but it's going to be done so in a very disciplined way," Mr. Desroches said. One pocket of competition for wireless carriers in recent months has come from cable companies that have promoted new and cheaper cellphone plans. Some customers have also traded down to a prepaid phone plan from pricier options to cut back on expenses. To help keep those customers, Verizon has been growing its presence in prepaid in recent years, acquiring a collection of brands in its 2021 acquisition of TracFone Wireless and launching Total by Verizon last fall. "We can play with anyone and meet the needs of any consumer in the market," Mr. Vestberg said Wednesday. T-Mobile, traditionally the lower cost national wireless carrier, isn't seeing its customers come under pressure to pay bills or trading down on services, even as cancellations return to more historic levels, said Financial Chief Peter Osvaldik. "We aren't seeing anything in regard to rate plan migrations," he said, noting that the company looks at customer payment behavior daily. "A return to that prepandemic level but nothing worse."

LOL. The above conversation got me to thinking....Have you ever seen a young person misplace their phone and have to look for it. I mean the whole world stops in existence until that thing is found. Nothing else matters until that thing is located...and the first thing they do is immediately begin checking the darn thing to see if they have missed any messages during the 10 minutes it was not in their hand. Sometimes I do it to my young "adult" kids to watch the panic..
According to AT&T website..... The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) was listed on the NYSE on Sept. 4, 1901. Only 11 other companies have been listed longer than AT&T. According to the NYSE Archives, at that time, the company's ticker symbol was "ATT.” The symbol "T" was used by Texas and Pacific Railway and then later assigned to American Telephone and Telegraph Co. in 1930. The "T" symbol stands for `telephone'.
