AT&T Charges for New Line Activation That Failed to Provision a Phone Number

A customer activating a new AT&T line received the device but no phone number, yet was still billed a $140 charge for the failed activation. With no self-service correction pathway, the customer is left holding an inflated bill for a service they never received. This reflects a gap in carrier activation failure detection and automated billing correction.
