Thank you. No, it won't need to continue indefinitely because I'll be cancelling my service at this end of this contract period. When you promise someone a fixed rate price for a set period, then it should be honored as such.Rather tone deaf of AT&T

Additional $7.46 increase on U200 package 'just because'?

I noticed on this month's (February 2020) bill an additional $7.46 charge comprised of $5.00 for U200 related charges, a $2.45 amount in surcharges and fees, and $.01 for government taxes and fees. ​Apparently the notion of having a 12 month fixed price agreement doesn't resonate with AT&T, and when

DirecTV cancelling Newsmax

I am a 12 year subscriber to DirecTV & have had AT&T cell service for 15 years. I am EXTREMELY disappointed that DirecTV is cancelling Newsmax—the last (Edited per community guidelines) news channel. If this is not resolved with Newsmax being restored I will be cancelling my subscriptions.

How do you move the closed captions to the bottom of the screen?Currently they are about 3/4 of the way down - it's blocking a lot. There's a good size gap between the bottom of the screen...which is good for the news but horrible for everything else.
