What is "*Now" in my Address Book?

BrokenWench · ‎11-22-2008

hi Y'all,

I've been curious about something... When I go to Menu then to Address Book there is a listing labled "*Now" with a number of "*669" just below the entry. Anyone have a clue what it is? I know I didn't place it there :-\

My phone is a Samsung Propel.

Thankx in advance,

B.W.

That short code will return the upgrade availability for that line of service.

AT&T's return policy has changed effective 10/07/12. You have 14 days to return the device & cxl without a ETF. Policy info HERE.

Where is Justin Timberlake when you need him?. I need him to billed me a bridge to get a cross all these tears from complainers.This post is protected under the laws of the United States & other Countries.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean "return" the upgrade availability? I'm not sure what you mean by "return".

Thanks so much. I had no idea what that meant either.

When you use *NOW, you query the system what the upgrade date is for that line, the system then "Returns" the eligibility date to you.

Oh, so it does't do anything to your phone; just gives you the information? I'm sorry if I seem so dumb about this.

Correct and no need to worry about it.
