AT&T Breaks the Language Barrier for Millions of Limited-English-Speaking Consumers

San Antonio, TX--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--September 26, 2007--For multicultural consumers across California, accessing vital communications services has never been easier. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced a service with Language Line Services that offers over-the-phone customer service in virtually all widely spoken languages on the planet.

Available now, customers can dial 1-800-203-8600 to access a broad array of AT&T’s TV, Internet, and home phone services in more than 160 languages, such as Russian, Polish, Arabic and Hmong. When customers call 1-800-203-8600, they can ask for service in their preferred language. An English-speaking representative will connect the customer to a live, expertly trained interpreter provided by AT&T. The interpreter will join the caller and AT&T service representative in a three-way conversation to complete the service.

This service builds on AT&T’s continuing effort to address the cultural and language needs of the company’s diverse customer base. More than 70 percent of multicultural communities in the United States are in AT&T’s footprint. The company actively markets to these communities in the language of each community and in a way that recognizes and respects the diversity of cultures in this country. As its client base continues to broaden, AT&T strives to address the needs of all of its customers in the most effective way possible.

“By offering service in more than 160 languages, AT&T breaks the language barrier for the growing number of immigrants and limited-English speakers struggling to access vital communications services for everyday life,” said Jody Garcia, vice president of Specialty Customer Care for AT&T West.
