According to the guidance, AT&#038;T will compile a &#8220;blocklist&#8221; of stolen devices and service will be automatically suspended &#8220;if any attempt is made to use a device that is stored in the blocklist.&#8221; The only way to add a device to the list will be by contacting a customer service representative directly, and users with remote data wipe apps will be required to activate them before suspending their device, to &#8220;prevent access to their personal information.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link.
