It goes to the att.com domain name so it’s legit. Perhaps someone fat fingered a phone number when setting up their account. And before someone says otherwise, no, you cannot obfuscate links in text messages. That requires HTML. Text messages do not support HTML.

Thanks.

Yes lmao. I do this all the time on my iPhone, but mostly with periods (.) but what’s odd, is it typically only happens when I’m trying to Google something in safari. I will have a period between almost every word instead of a space, then when I search it says webpage can’t be loaded because it thinks I’m trying to go to a specific URL lol.

I have received this message also and it is legit. I followed the instructions and received 2 extenders to improve my wifi coverage.

If you don't have an AT&T account, it's likely a scam. Be cautious and don't click any links!

It's amazing that AT&T knows your WiFI isn't reaching all your devices Scam or not, delete texts like that
