@Yank ... Re: The only solution..
Do you have AT&T?
Check your free text messages from them.
(See my post above)
First under existing SCOTUS rulings, the metadata surrounding the phone call is not private and the Telco can assert ownership of the data. They can also claim that they need to use this data to help complete the calls while on their or a partner's network. (roaming) and for billing purposes.
That said, reselling this PII information should be made illegal.
The fact that they decided to make this 'OPT-OUT' (which is not in the text, so also a reason to sue) is stupidity beyond belief. They must be under great pressure to find revenue streams.
Congress could fix this easily.
Anyone else get this sort of text or mailed communication from AT&T or another carrier?
Again, the Flame is for the telco... not a good way to wake up before morning coffee.
