Topic: Telecom giant AT&T to accept bitcoin for payment - page 2. (Read 324 times)
Wow, this is something big. AT&T is among top 10 corporations by total revenue in US. So, news that they are starting to accept Bitcoin is really meaningful. It's huge recognition for Bitcoin. And starting to accept Bitcoin probably wasn't big and complicated thing for AT&T. They just needed to integrate Bitpay proccessor to their system. And even if number of people who will pay in BTC, AT&T aren't risking at all with this step. I hope that more huge companies will follow this story eventually.
It's just an indication that even the biggest company are interested in cryptocurrency. It's an advantage for bitcoin because what we really need is adoption and it will be a big impact on the development and growth of bitcoin. Let's look forward to a lot of adoptions in the coming days.
That's a big move forward by one among the telecom giant of the world. It has got its services all over the world, and in particular it is common on the western nation. These are really a much needed adoption, as it also has got much connection with technology. When more and more technology associated platform begin to accept bitcoin automatically more similar service renders follow the same.
It's seems like this news are official because you can check the press release on their website that confirms it. AT&T is one of the largestst telecommunications company in the US and they have millions of users registered to their services so this proves us bitcoin is really growing by time since large companies start to accept it as a payment method. Even though I'm not from US I still think this is great because other companies from all around the world will follow the same move and we shall soon be able to pay for a lot of things using bitcoin.
this is news i was not expecting, awesome that a telecom company would accept bitcoin, feels like some it company would be faster with adopting btc payments than a telecom company.
Awesome... so so awesome. This is where the "if you can't beat them, join them" cliché swallows them up. We're gradually spreading everywhere. It seems they've all realized the potential of Bitcoin in the future and hence don't wanna miss this one. We hope to hear more of such news everyday. By the way, who do you think is next to adopt ??
This is great and could send the price of bitcoin to a higher price than we have now, since many persons will not only try to buy with the bitcoin, when they see the rise in bitcoin, they will be tempted to study much about it. BCH made it this time, not so bad.
It's true, I noticed this when I went to pay my AT&T bill a couple days ago. For the skeptics, here's a screenshot:
I was surprised to say the least since AT&T is a monstrous brick-and-mortar business, not just some small internet merchant.
I prefer to spend my BTC like cash (where the merchant/service doesn't know my identity) so I probably won't be using this. But it's still great to see ongoing merchant adoption, especially from big names like AT&T.

It's quite fascinating that a telecoms giany who could easily provide their own payment method uses bitcoin as one for their checkout pages. AT&T accepting bitcoins is news, and a big one at that considering that it's the first telecoms company to accept the said cryptocurrency as a form of payment (albeit using BitPay). I'm pretty sure others would follow suit knowing that this brings hype to the media, the people and potential customers.
I wonder how much sales would AT&T generate after this news comes out to the wider audience or whether it would be of greater impact to the company at all.

wow wow, really hot news. I think this automatically leads that horizon, vodafone and etc will accept bitcoin payments too. Can't read that article at the moment but please can anyone tell me is it possible to buy iphone and other smartphones under AT&T contract with bitcoin? If yes, then this will be one of the most great step taken to increase of bitcoin adoption.

Customers can now pay their phone bill through bitcoin in AT&Ts website and mobile app. This is the first major US mobile carrier to accept cryptocurrency as payments. The payments would be through bitpay payment processor and the currencies that would be accepted are bitcoin and bitcoincash.
