Oh wow. AT&T has long been one of the networks I've dreaded running afoul of when sending email newsletters. For years they've been opaque in how their process for getting a false positive IP address de-listed from their block list.
Most networks have a form you fill out, a list of things you have to fulfill to get automatically restored, and some automatically reinstate you with a delay if you even contact them.
For years AT&T has operated under the "can neither confirm nor deny" philosophy. It has taken me weeks to a month to get a blocked IP address reinstated.
I had some email delivery issues with Gmail and needed to make some DNS changes to make Gmail happy, which instantly landed me in AT&T hell. I was expecting a month of neglect. Instead, they replied back within a few days to let me know that my request will be carried out shortly.

Some of the top wireless carriers in the U.S. have been fined millions of dollars, for illegally sharing customers’ personal data without their consent.

Welcome to #America 🇺🇸 where ALL of the major wireless carriers sell customer data to…who are they selling our data to‽ #FCC needs to find out who is buying this data, as it is alarming!
#ATT, #Verizon, #Sprint / #Tmobile (I believe they merged already) are selling our data as if they were #Google. I would not be surprised if various government agencies were buying the info.
Just one more reason not to give your cellular provider your real information. I've had good luck with US Mobile over the past ~6 months with alias information. Good prices and network coverage. Works well on GrapheneOS.
