Those Ok! I'm still more than capable of writing a check and putting it in an envelope and mailing it. Then AT&T will have to pay someone to open the mail, take out the check, post the transaction to my account and deposit the check. I guarantee that will cost them FAR more than me going to their website and doing all the work. But if that's the game they want to play...

Hey maybe they are just doing their part to save the post office. Of course if the PO causes your payment to be late,then Verizon gets to tack on some fees. I am looking for a new carrier anyway.. Verizon is soo expensive on a monthly basis.

All those things may be true except, "deposit the check" AT&T doesn't actually deposit your check, it's done through electronic funds transfer, once they receive your check your account is debited almost immediately. AT&T is not alone in doing it this way.

I see my "returned" checks in my on line account and almost all of them are "cashed" this way.
