Article is not entirely unbiased, seems to be just a title to get an advertisement seen.

Bellsouth ( from the USA ) in the old Bell firm, and isn't an organisation anymore and yet it was a wikipedia add, Bellsouth Telecommunications could have a place( with history) but Bellsouth no. There are other earlier formed 'Bellsouth's' in the world so why is the AT&T verson up in lights here, especially when it is really called Bellsouth Telecomm's or whatever.

Article is disorganized

This article is somewhat of a mess...I have no idea what BellSouth is after reading it. Was it founded in the 80s or after Southern Bell and South Central Bell merged? If I knew the answer to the question, I would edit the article myself. But I do not, so if you know, please clarify the article. The first part jumps around in the timeline. And confusing this is apparently another article named BellSouth. Perhaps a chronological history section would do wonders for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.112.63 (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unverified Paragraph

The following paragraph was added by an anon user who had been adding nonsense to other articles. If this paragraph can be verified correct, it should be put back into the article. -SCEhardt 16:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The image to the right is a photograph of the BellSouth Building, commonly mistaken as the BellSouth Corporation headquarters in Atlanta, GA. It is actually the main building for BellSouth Telecommunications (formerly Southern Bell headquarters) which is the phone company division of BellSouth Corporation. The BellSouth Corporation is headquartered in the Campanile building at the intersection of 14th and Peachtree streets in Atlanta, Georgia, across the street from the Colony Square hotel in Midtown.

Verified based on the address for BellSouth Corporation Headquarters given at http://bellsouth.mediaroom.com/ -SCEhard T 19:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is correct, Campanile is the corporate headquarters, however the "BellSouth Building" should be "BellSouth Center" (my office is in there, I'm certain of the name... but google will verify), I've corrected it here, and in other articles which mis-reference it. -chrisbw 03:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date

Comment adeded by Leo3487 at Feb 21, 2006 at 05:18 am (GMT-3)

This articles is out-of-date, say than Bellsouth has sales in Latin Ammerica.... All the subsidiary in Latin America was bought by Telefónica—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.32.27.14 (talk • contribs) .

BellSout and AT&T Deal

Any information on it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.19.147.2 (talk • contribs) .

I've doc'd this as a current event, and also asked for cleanup. It's really poorly written, especially on the front end, and needs major expansion. Iamvered 22:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bellsouth just announced they will stop fleecing customers to get merger oked.

Userbox

Anyone else find it ironic that the Bellsouth's userbox shows the initals BS?--Viridis 21:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct my if I'm wrong but I was just looking through this and found that it says Bellsouth is a Holding company of AT&T. Since AT&T bought Bellsouth and according to their own website (AT&T) Bellsouth is a subsidary wouldn't then the company be considered defunct or a holding of AT&T. SBC, Old AT&T, NYNEX are all listed as defunct on their pages. Just thgouth I'd share something.

I believe the company should be listed as defunct, as seen by the others. I believe AT&T now refers to Bell South as AT&T SouthEast. 24.229.242.83 03:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odd, my internet provider's still referred to as BellSouth. This is what I am presented with when signing on.--Viridis 11:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's going to take a bit for all the 'branding' to get done. Donovan Ravenhull 17:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bellsouth and AT&T have said that it will take at least through much of the first quarter and part of the second to get the branding and all sorted out. Officially, Bellsouth still exists, and will exist at least for that long. (I still write my check to Bellsouth for now) In addition, those of us with bellsouth.net email addresses will have to change to something else, most likely in the second quarter (which really ticks me off - I've had my e-mail address for more than ten years now, though I did have an attbi.com address as a secondary address when I had cable internet for a short time; the changes on that one as MediaOne/AT&T Broadband/Comcast got bandied about are a long story...feh). --Mhking 14:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When SBC bought AT&T my email address didn't change...I still have the sbcglobal domain even though my son got an att domain when he signed up a few monthes ago, so your bellsouth domain should remain the same as it has been.

changed Holding company

changed Holding company of AT&T to Holding Company: AT&T because the previous wording meant that Bellsouth holds AT&T instead of the other way around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.145.144.108 (talk) 04:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

BellSouth is not defunct

I don't know why in the article it says BellSouth is defunct, It still exists as a corporation but is now a wholly owned subsidary of AT&T, So this information should be changed to BellSouth is a telecommunications holding company which is a wholly owned subsidary of AT&T. 151.198.158.34 02:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has now been changed to reflect that after 10 years.Granthew (talk) 06:33, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
