RESET!1!1

Don't you know what "call and text records" are? Those pages on your AT&T bill, that only show numbers and times, that's it. Now, I'm not saying it's not bad, but talking about resetting passwords just makes you look like you're not serious people. If anything, if you used your AT&T number for any kind of password reset or 2-form authentication, you should be changing that, no actual passwords were ever exposed to anyone. Maybe use a Google Voice number instead? (but I could argue I'd rather have some hacker in Turkey hold on to my phone number, than Google) Like another user said, the info was stolen 2 years ago, so if you haven't had your stuff hacked yet, it's probably a waste of time to worry about it now. I'd be more worries about how many more thousands of employees will they need to lay off to keep up with all the issues, fines (that will surely come), credits to "affected" (read All) users, and service cancelations.
Free tip: Circling back to original post, everyone should be changing their passwords at least twice a year anyway, and NEVER user the same password for anything. Strong randomized password for each individual account. Get a good password manager, but not an app or an online service, because sooner or later, they will get hacked too. I like KeePass. Local database that only you have control of, and free to use. If you want to access it from other devices, you can store the database in the cloud, preferably your own.
why? did T give them all away again?
A little late to the game. The data breech was 2 years ago. AT&T is special. AT&T can keep major data breaches quite for a certain time.
