I just did the exact same thing. One of our lines had a $9.95 subscription on it, got it refunded and all four of our lines are also blocked now.
I just sent a brief email to some family and friends noting my experience, pointing them to the NYTimes article, and telling them that on AT&T they probably want to investigate 'Purchase Blocker'.
It's especially annoying to me because I give AT&T over $300/mo. At that level of revenue, you'd think they could have the decency to default to protecting me. And somebody at AT&T will likely be shocked that I have no brand loyalty towards them, at all.
