Why does the ATT U-verse App require access to my photos, videos, location, etc.?

The ATT U-verse app wants permissions to location, phone, storage, media files, etc. Why would I grant that?

So don't.  The reason why may become clear at a later date.

Because you want to use the app and the app requires those Android security rights?

Storage and media files: So you can download content to it (either explicitly or implicitly) then display that content to you.

Phone: Probably to initiate a call to support should you push the button that tries to do so.

Location: May be necessary to adhere to their agreements with content providers to only display content within a certain geographical/political region (i.e. the United States).
