If I could give ZERO stars, I would. We received a bill for $5,000 for long distances charges we didn’t make. Spoke to a rep on 12/13 and they opened a case to have charges removed.

    By far the worst customer service in the mobile phone industry. I don’t think there’s anything you can get from a person that would actually be followed through and not one big lie. It may look cheaper, but don’t do it. Trust me do not do it. You will regret it financially and emotionally.

      AT&T wireless is horrible. My family left T-Mobile for a "cheaper" rate. We were scammed into a no contract with AT&T paying off our old phones. From the beginning was trouble. Some of our phones would not link to the service and the salesman "Jesse **" came out to fix the phones. Once fixed, we were instructed to keep our old phones for a week, just to make sure the new ones were working properly. Once the phones were working, I contacted Jesse numerous times to turn in our phones. My wife already turned hers in at the beginning of the deal. After 30 days we received a bill from T Mobile for the remainder of the phones.

      We attempted to contact Jesse and went through various stores to resolve the matter. Around 60 days we contacted corporate and through a lot of trial and effort we received a credit on AT&T bill for the phones. We eventually paid off T-Mobile directly. We let the credit play out. During this time, we found out we cannot turn in the old phone because it was past the promotion date. So we are not in a contract, but we have to pay off the phones.We have experienced horrible phone service, prepaid is better service than AT&T. We also found out that Jesse had not turned in my wife's phone, but has since completed after an investigation. We are now going to pay off the remainder of the phones, and switch to a prepaid carrier. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T.

      This month AT&T cellular charged us more than $300 in additional fees related to (non-AT&T) WiFi-based FaceTime international calls, claiming that their satellites were “pinged” during several of the WiFi calls. We have made international calls using FaceTime on WiFi many times over the years, and never had any such cellular charges. We called customer service to discuss this, which consisted of two hours of useless bouncing around from one powerless perhaps well-intentioned script reader to the next. I have been an AT&T cellular customer for more than 25 years and today’s experience absolutely ends that relationship. These charges are predatory as far as I’m concerned, and the customer service experience was exasperating and tedious at best. Goodbye AT&T, I’m taking my three lines elsewhere.

      We are very disappointed with AT&T Wireless because we sent our IPhone 16s to them under their promotional program, and now they are saying the program has expired for us and we can’t get our phones back so we are out over $900. Their representative told us she wished she had better news but there are no exceptions and there was nothing she could do. Very poor way to treat a new customer!

      Worst experience upgrading my phone. Countless hours on the phone, loss of money from no phone and missing work calls and 18 days trying to sort it all out for nothing, if I were not responsible for the term I would tell them where they could shove it but apparently almost 7,000 (1 star reviews) people have had similar experiences and feel the same way and nothing has changed. So bitching about is purely for my own benefit. No change is happening because they DO NOT CARE. Any company being such a tight ass must have some pretty clean coins in their piggy banks!

      If I could give 0 stars I would. To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my experience as an AT&T customer and to request that AT&T honor the promotion that was presented to me when I signed up for service. I never intended to switch carriers, but I was approached by a door-to-door AT&T sales representative named Orlando, who offered what appeared to be a substantial savings compared to my existing wireless bill. At the time, my monthly bill with my previous carrier was approximately $500. Orlando informed me that he could reduce my bill to approximately $130 per month through an AT&T promotion.

      Because I was skeptical of a door-to-door sales pitch, I visited a local AT&T store before making any decisions. The store employees confirmed that Orlando was a legitimate AT&T representative and explained that door-to-door representatives often have access to promotions that are not available in retail stores. Based on that information, I decided to proceed with switching my service to AT&T. I waited approximately three weeks for all four devices to arrive before activation could be completed. During the enrollment process, which took nearly two hours, Orlando explained that my four existing devices qualified for a trade-in promotion and that the new AT&T devices would effectively be free after the trade-in credits were applied. He specifically instructed me not to mail my old devices myself and stated that he would personally collect them and handle the return process, which he said would be faster and more efficient.

      After the new devices arrived, Orlando contacted me from what he said was his personal phone because his work phone was broken. He asked whether I had activated the devices because they were not showing as active in his system. At that point, only two of the phones had arrived. The remaining two devices arrived the following day, and I activated all four devices together. Shortly after activation, I contacted Orlando and asked him when he would be collecting my old devices. He responded with a thumbs-up message, which led me to believe he would be contacting me soon to arrange pickup. As a result, I continued to hold the devices and waited for further instructions. The situation changed dramatically when all of my AT&T phones were suddenly suspended. Because suspended phones cannot even be used to contact customer service through 611, I immediately visited a local AT&T store.

      The store representative informed me that my service had been suspended due to nonpayment. I was shocked because I had never received a bill, email notification, or any communication regarding an outstanding balance. The store was able to locate my account and bill but could not access all of the account details. I paid the outstanding balance of $488.64 in order to restore service. This amount represented only four phones with no insurance coverage. For comparison, my previous carrier provided service for five phones, two smart watches, one iPad, and a mobile hotspot device—with insurance on all devices—for approximately $500 per month. The savings that were promised during the sales process were clearly not being realized.

      After contacting AT&T Customer Service and the Loyalty Department, I learned that the address and email address associated with my account had been entered incorrectly. As a result, I never received any billing statements or account notifications. At this point, approximately 37 days had passed since activation, and I still had the four trade-in devices. Orlando had completely stopped responding to my calls and text messages. I provided his phone number to AT&T representatives, but they were unable to reach him as well. A few days later, I received a call from a higher-level AT&T representative who documented my concerns and escalated the matter for further review. However, approximately five days after that conversation, I was informed that because too much time had passed, AT&T would not accept the trade-in devices and would not honor the promotion that Orlando presented to me during the sales process.

      As a result, I am now being held financially responsible for four new devices while also retaining four devices from my previous carrier that had already been fully paid off. This situation occurred because I followed the instructions provided by AT&T's sales representative, who told me he would personally collect the devices and process the trade-ins. Additionally, incorrect contact information was entered into my account, preventing me from receiving billing notifications and account updates. To make matters worse, AT&T will not allow me to leave and return to my previous carrier without paying the remaining balance on the devices. I am effectively trapped in a situation that resulted from the actions and misrepresentations of an AT&T representative.

      I am simply asking AT&T to honor the promotion that was presented to me and to take responsibility for the actions of its sales representative. Orlando misrepresented the process, failed to follow through on his commitments, and has become completely unreachable. I should not be penalized for relying on information provided by an authorized AT&T representative. I respectfully requested a full review of my account and a resolution that honors the original trade-in promotion as promised.

      Sincerely,

      A Very Dissatisfied Customer

      I am excited to not be an AT&T customer any more their service was not great in many locations with frequent dropped calls. Also after being a customer for over 10 years they didn't allow us to turn in our phones 4 days after 30 day promotion period. When calling customer service constantly said there was nothing they could do (so no customer loyalty). Also customer service people trained to say no rather than help customer. Hopefully they go out of business soon.

      The store was awesome on West Jefferson. Customer service over the phone is worthless, hung up on twice. Been a loyal customer for probably a decade on autopay. Not a slip on my part. Don't order online with promotion. Not available when your store has it. It's not online only or the next person says go in the store or they say both....Basically....you won't get it there either way. They will try to blame you and make you pay a 55% restock fee. Dustin was awesome. Nothing against him or the manager. The store could not fix ATT mess ups. I've been hung up on 2x calling customer service. Try ordering a s26 of any model online and pick up at store. Can't find a s26 near Fort Wayne just to make a point. They have 'em. Writing this on my new 26 Ultra. West Jefferson... 5 stars

      I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T expecting better service and instead experienced a complete nightmare. While I was traveling, AT&T ported my phone number before ensuring my new service was working. I was left without a functioning phone for days and could not reliably communicate with my family. My husband spent about 4 hours on the phone with AT&T the first day, my son spent another 2 hours, and we spent well over 10 hours total trying to resolve the issue.

      AT&T attempted to activate multiple eSIMs that never worked. We later learned those failed eSIM activations were preventing a physical SIM from being properly activated. After numerous calls, multiple failed attempts, and five SIM-related activation efforts, my service was finally restored. No customer should lose phone service for days during a carrier transfer. AT&T should make sure a customer’s new service is fully operational before disconnecting their existing carrier. I regret leaving T-Mobile and would not recommend AT&T based on my experience.

      This is a copy of an email I sent to my account rep: I am more than disappointed with the service, particularly lack of hotspot service, I am encountering. Cloudfare (required for security by banks and financial services) won't connect over half the time! I never experienced Cloudfare connection problems even once with my Verizon subsidiary. The service is marginally better if I use the hotspot in my truck. So, am I suppose to sit in my truck and run the engine to use my computer or tablet? Also, the applications for viewing and managing wireless usage are a joke! Everything in these apps, whether on my Android phone, Android tablet, or Windows PC, is geared to sales, not managing the usage. A very disappointed customer,

It was until a contract dispute I have nothing to do with has halted FS1 from being able to be seen... Waste of ** time and will probably change back as at least Verizon had their poop in a group....

      Well how to start. I have been trying to fix my phone bill for 2 weeks now. Here it goes. 2020 mother passed. The bill was in her name. The phone was in a business account. Me I Lala my father and brother were on it hence business line. Well unfortunately mother passed in 2020. We took in death certificate then 2023 father passed. We took in death certificate. No issues.

      Then 2026 my brother passes. Took in death certificate. For some reason AT&T has decided to make me pay my brother line after I tried 7 times to retroactively go back to when he passed because ironically it was March 31st. So the bill wouldn't be so high then to find out the I can't make any changes due to the fact I am not an active member in the account. But have to pay my deceased brother's line until it's paid off. Now mind you I have been hung up by 2 employees one supervisor whom never noted nothing on my account. I threaten them with a lawsuit and reminded them this being recorded. If their is a lawyer reading contact me. They shouldn't treat someone losing a loved one like this at all.
