Interestingly, I stopped being an AT&T customer 4 years ago but just this morning I received a phishing SMS containing my real name and a mention of AT&T overpayment or some-such. Could be a coincidence, or it could be the data is already out and being used.

I received the exact same thing. I was also a customer of AT&T around 4 or so years ago. The odd thing to me was the phishing text said to CALL ATT's very own number. No links or anything.

  Mine included a link. I already removed it so can't look at it now, but it definitely included one of those minified links that immediately scream "phishing".

  An SMS can be crafted to attack your phone if you view the message.

I know this doesn’t add much to the conversation but I got the same text this morning and I am currently still with att.

The seller hasn't sold the data yet. Unless it has already been available behind the scenes and changed hands, I don't think the breach is related.
