I heard AT&T will soon be referring to customer private information as "business documents" so they can hand it over to whoever wants it (well, probably not "anyone", but you get the point).

If you believe everything said on these boards, it's time to shut down the computer.

better read what you may have signed originally, it probably says they share the info with others.

without consent they aren't allowed to hand over info , due to privacy
but check the small print and you will see that most time you give consent to do anything with your details
should always negotiate contracts that you sign , remember that you are a customer ,
