Recycling Your Old Device
A quick note to those who unwrap a shiny new handset this season: Don’t just toss that former phone! According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of the 2.25 million tons of TVs, cell phones and computer products that can be recycled, only 18 percent was collected for recycling and 82 percent was disposed of, primarily in landfills. While wireless phones comprise just a portion of that e-waste, AT&T and its customers can play an important role in addressing this issue. AT&T has introduced a national recycling program to make recycling easy and accessible for everyone: AT&T Reuse & Recycle.
Through the program, consumers are invited to bring unwanted wireless phones, smartphones and accessories (regardless of the manufacturer or carrier) to AT&T company-owned retail stores for recycling. Check out these tips for recycling your wireless phone.
Santa & The Season

Good little boys and girls across the country can text their holiday wish-list to Santa and track Santa’s sleigh journey faster than ever this year, thanks to the bearded man in red and some of his helpers, including AT&T. According to the North Pole, Santa has decided to use the latest digital tools to spread holiday cheer through a holiday texting campaign and a special app on AT&T U-verseSM TV
AT&T customers who text SANTA to 1224 between now and Dec. 24 will receive an invitation from jolly old St. Nick himself to text back their wish-lists for this holiday season. Thanks to a special agreement between Santa and AT&T, text messages sent to this short code – and the reply text messages from Santa – will be offered at no charge.
Families can also keep up with Santa and enjoy holiday fun for the whole family with a new interactive Santa Tracker app and on-demand holiday entertainment on AT&T U-verse TV. This year, U-verse TV families will be able to visit the North Pole and follow Santa’s every move on Christmas Eve with Santa Tracker.
