ATT*BILL Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

AT&T uses the abbreviated descriptor "ATT*BILL" on bank statements primarily because the ampersand symbol (&) is not supported by most payment processing systems and card network descriptor fields, which are restricted to alphanumeric characters. The asterisk in "ATT*BILL" is a standard separator used by AT&T's billing platform to distinguish the company identifier from the charge type, a common formatting convention among large telecom providers processing millions of monthly transactions. If you're seeing this charge for around $65.00 on a recurring monthly basis, it almost certainly corresponds to your AT&T wireless or internet service payment.

No, this is a legitimate charge from AT&T. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
