Yes, there are other ways to pay the phone bill, but when the mail doesn’t have time to get it there before it’s due or if you simply prefer cash, this is your option. Oh, and the system to pay over the phone was irritating and the website simply didn’t work(log in button didn’t do anything). I wish AT&T had an office in Joplin where I could pay directly and maybe even talk directly to a representative instead of calling India(or wherever). When I switched to cable internet, I gained local customer support and MUCH faster internet than AT&T can provide.

Way back in 2012 when I had a landline phone, it annoyed me that the only places I could pay the bill were at pay day loan places and liquor stores.
I wouldn’t go into those places otherwise.
(Both places have a “Pay bills here” sign)
Additional sign on loan place: We were here first!
Additional sign on liquor place: We have whiskey. (additional signs: “Booze!” “Best swill in…”)
But, I suppose it could be worse…
Ferret: I swear I’m just paying my phone bill!
Character: Ha ha ha! Whatever.
