BellSouth also operated in Latin America in Argentina, Australia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

All of Bellsouth's operations in Latin America were acquired by Telefonica in late 2004 for nearly $5.85 billion, and became Movistar.

Cable television (often via MMDS) was provided in limited markets as BellSouth Entertainment (as part of the Americast venture).

Statewide operations centers were located in Birmingham, Miami, Atlanta, Louisville, New Orleans, Jackson, Charlotte, Columbia, and Nashville.

Continued increase of broadband penetration and applications in the consumer market was a key strategy to the company.

BellSouth's main operating units at its end were the Communications Group, Domestic Wireless, and Advertising and Publishing.

It also previously maintained a history page at bellsouth.com/servicemarks, which displayed its former and recent BellSouth logo usage.

In 2002, Sprint and SBC Communications could not come to an agreement on fees charged to carriers to look up the caller name information.
