Tried to purchase a Mobley from ATT online. During the checkout process they required my Social Security #. That was a deal breaker. :thumbdown:
Here is their explanation why they need SSN:
Your Social Security Number is required to make an online purchase at att.com/wireless. Please enter your Social Security number to proceed.
By providing your Social Security Number, you give credit check consent and reporting authorization as follows:
I authorize any person, or consumer or credit reporting agency to provide AT&T with any information it has on me or the entity on whose behalf I make this application. I authorize AT&T to (a) compile this information, (b) disclose my account information including my payment history and confidential information to credit reporting agencies or private credit reporting associations, and (c) periodically obtain and use my credit report and other credit information from any source in connection with AT&T's offering of wireless and other services. I understand that if I fail to fulfill the terms of my credit obligations under this Agreement, AT&T may report my failure to a credit reporting agency.
To learn more about how your personal information is used and securely stored, read our Privacy Policy.
If you would prefer to not disclose your Social Security Number, you may purchase GoPhone online or at an AT&T store.
