By the 2010s digital payment methods were widespread in many countries, with examples including intermediaries such as PayPal, digital wallet systems such as Apple Pay, contactless and NFC payments by electronic card or smartphone, and electronic bills and banking, all in widespread use. The trend towards the use of non-cash transactions and settlement in daily life began during the 1990s when electronic banking became common.
5.4 Elimination of high-denomination notes for purposes of reducing criminal activity.5.2 Reducing transmittal of disease via cash.3.3 Amount of cash in circulation (historical).Some countries now set limits on transactions and transaction values for which non-electronic payment may be legally used. Such a concept has been discussed widely, particularly because the world is experiencing a rapid and increasing use of digital methods of recording, managing, and exchanging money in commerce, investment and daily life in many parts of the world, and transactions which would historically have been undertaken with cash are often now undertaken electronically. However this article discusses and focuses on the term "cashless society" in the sense of a move towards, and implications of, a society where cash is replaced by its digital equivalent-in other words, legal tender (money) exists, is recorded, and is exchanged only in electronic digital form.
Cashless societies have existed from the time when human society came into existence, based on barter and other methods of exchange, and cashless transactions have also become possible in modern times using credit cards, debit cards, mobile payments, and digital currencies such as bitcoin. If you have an iPhone, e-billing should be default.In a cashless society, financial transactions are not conducted with physical banknotes or coins, but instead with digital information (usually an electronic representation of money). ATT doesn’t have the greatest scruples in the world. While this method of charging can be taken as two ways, A) ATT just wants to make an extra buck, or B) ATT really does care about trees and is just trying to sway customers away from viewing their bill on paper, I like to think that they are doing the latter. This is where we are trying to push for the customer to view their bill online in hopes that they eventually just sign up for paperless billing. They have to actually pay an extra $1.99 per month per line to view their call details now. Also, any customer that changes their rate plan (which, trust me, is about half the calls I get every day) as of August 10th will automatically be put on the summary billing. There are a few exceptions where they wouldn’t be able to view their latest bill for a while, but I am still new there, so I don’t know all the specific factors that will cause this.ģ.
ATT PAPERLESS BILLING SCAM FREE
All of this is offered free on their website and is available to them 24 hours a day. We’re also told to encourage paperless billing altogether an option offered to customers when they sign up their phone number online. We are told to encourage customers to use ATT.com to view their detailed bill online rather than looking at all the specifics on their physical bill. This happens by default for every new customer as of August 10th.Ģ. AT&T is aware they are killing a lot of trees and is just starting to prevent it by going to “summary billing”–meaning no more call/data details for every phone on the account, just basic charges. I actually work for an AT&T call center, and while I’m not defending AT&T, I thought the following should be known:ġ. Hey, I just saw your post about AT&T’s paper bills being enormous today through a link on Digg. Now an AT&T rep is commenting on the issue and says that the company encourages paperless billing and is no longer giving customers detailed statements. With all these 300-page iPhone bills being mailed out to AT&T customers, it was only a matter of time before someone started wondering how many trees would die a day.
