Before acquiring the AT&T name, Southern Bell changed their name to
BellSouth. The initials aren't SBC, they're BS.

You're right, SBC didn't buy Bell Atlantic, now known as Verizon, but
Pacific Bell belongs to SBC now known as AT&T.

The AT&T name was purchased by Southern Bell Company, which if you do a
little checking you'll find has also purchased pretty much all of the
local
operating companies that were spun off by AT&T,
Far from all of the local companies. There is a company out here
called Verizon, which grew out of Bell Atlantic, which in turn grew
out of Jersey Bell, New York Telephone and other local phone companies
in the east. It is now one of the biggest in both mobile and land
line telephone service. Verizon also took over most of the huge
corporate offices that the old AT&T built in central New Jersey. At
that time, the "new AT&T" acquired "Golden Boy," the iconic statue
that stood for years outside the AT&T headquarters in NYC, and moved
it from Bedminster, New Jersey to Dallas, but that is about the only
piece of the old AT&T corporate structure that the new "AT&T" can
claim.
