A dividend is paid usually every quarter, sometimes monthly
To calculate, it’s (yield percentage x the stock price) / 4
29.5 x 7% = 2.06 / 4 =.52

Phones will be truly instantaneous after this is implemented

4. Management (slightly)
$T just announce they’re still paying off part of their debt, even though Covid-19 made things weird
They’re soon paying 5.3 billion of the 40 billion they owe
This brings down they payout ratio to 60%, a much more comfortable ratio than before
