Thank you for exposing the AT&T scam of leased phones and the elderly. In checking up on this issue I found out that this is a widespread problem, totaling today 750,000 unsuspecting persons, down from 40 million, mostly elderly still leasing phones from AT&T through Lucent Technologies.

Time for us all to check up on the phone service the elderly in our lives have and put an end to this abuse of those who can least afford to contribute to the corporate base.
