Actually, maybe not a scam. That is the exact same text I got for my free phone and yes, ATT is sending free replacement phones. Not sure where you are getting the idea it’s an iPhone 12. If you do get a replacement iPhone, it will likely be an SE.

I don't know where the "free iPhone 12" came from. I don't see that in the text anywhere. Everything else in the text looks legit (although I cannot verify that 800 number; I'd use 611 instead).

The representative I spoke with at att indicated the phone was going to be an iPhone 12. I question , that’s why I got her name and I’d.

@MeBlondee1 Sorry to say but whoever you spoke too was almost certainly wrong. As noted earlier, they will send you a free replacement but it is very unlikely it will be an iPhone 12.
