Business Leaders Network Spotlight
Next month, AT&T will celebrate a pivotal milestone: 150 years since the company’s founder, Alexander Graham Bell, made the first phone call.
What began with a single call has grown into massive volumes of data moving across networks every second – powering everything from everyday check-ins and life-changing announcements to urgent, time-sensitive decisions. In fact, today, calls make up a small portion of the traffic carried on our network, as text messages, data and video dominate modern communications. In 2025, approximately three times more texts than calls traveled over our network.
But here’s what hasn’t changed: customers often notice connectivity most when they don’t have it. Through First Net, AT&T continues its commitment to first responders and helping communities stay connected in the moments that matter most.
A lot has changed over the decades, but one thing remains true: AT&T is driven by a culture of service and a commitment to putting our customers first. Period. Alexander Graham Bell still inspires us today to create new, faster and better ways to connect. The best is yet to come.
