AT&T Has A Message About Your iPhone Shipment

2009-06-19T16:41:12Z

Bill thinks that AT&T might have a message for him. "Here is a rather unfortunate captcha I received tonight when I logged in to AT&T Wireless to check on the shipping status of my new iPhone 3GS," he wrote. AT&T, do you serve captchas to your mother with that mouth?

@dallasmay: So much for my Math degree. Good thing I went into computers way back when. If the problem isn't solve 2+2, I get out my calculator.

Doesn't captcha depend on the actual capitcha website or server feed? If it does I can't see how this can be AT&T's fault any more than a common computer anomoly.

@savdavid: No, just iphone owners. I have never had any problems with them, but I don't own an iphone and i don't pay the absurd amount for unlimited data usage that they do.

@dallasmay: Wow. The funny thing is I actually vaguely remembered how to do it and it's been a decade since I took calc! I was too self-impressed. :D

And oh Brad. If only he was still owner.

@thisheregirafFe:
Some captchas are nearly impossible to read. Is that a one, a seven, an "I", an "i", or a "|"?

@RamV10: If frustrating the person trying to buy something from you is the intention of captcha, then it works!

If trying to prevent spam bots and other undesirable folks out, then not so much...

Well, I guess we know his status with AT&T. Come to think of it, isn't anyone with AT&T Q7fuck(ed)?

It's been proven that these things don't work. Why do people still insist on adding them to their sites?

they figure you might as well start saying that word now cause once you get that phone you'll be using it a lot.

I've always wondered if in factories that package letter blocks or the plastic letters you put on your fridge, if it is someones job to make sure the letters displayed on the front of the package doesn't spell anything bad.

They are saying how much they like dealing with customers. AT&T is usually pretty honest in their assholeishness. If that is even a word.

Via telepathy!!!

I have a hard time believing this... seems hard to believe that these catchpa systems aren't setup to block profanity and it'd be very easy to Photoshop a picture like this.

@verucalise: A "Q7-FUCK" is when a company has to go back, at least three-quarters into a new year, and revise the figures from the last full fiscal year (or further back). For a serious example of this, look at General Motors, who were cooking the books for years before they finally had to bite the bullet (stop selling things and using overseas profits to hide NA losses) and report that $39+ billion loss in 2007.
