Though for the record, I would like to see AT&T lose this case, badly. If you design a system based on personal info you damn well should shoulder the liability when you screw it up.

Baloney. Their system collects personal info for the purposes of phone billing, not for the purpose of trying to secure a relationship of two strangers trying to pretend they know each other because of said phone number.

I think the issue is their system allows numbers to be ported too easily. Not that they collect info.

But their system is designed for people to call each other so that they can order fast food. Not to secure a $25m irreversible transaction

Calling with a sob story is no reason to transfer a SIM. It is ridiculous.

BS. They do this because they are trying to optimize their own customer service, their relationship with their own customers, which is all one can reasonably expect them to do. You cannot thoughtfully expect them to be responsible for securing relationships they don't know about.
