Telecom(munications) / @ "at symbol" name and pronunciation in Spanish

English term or phrase: @ "at symbol" name and pronunciation in Spanish

Could someone please tell me what the @ "at" symbol is called in Spanish, and possibly it's phonetic spelling? I've been searching on the web and in dictionaries and can't find anything. Many thanks in advance!
