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.

    Alex was absolutely fabulous. He was patient in helping with getting my new phone set up. After being told that I couldn’t purchase a phone outright in Rockport, TX, I drove 30 miles to Portland, Tx. Alex let me know it was possible and he walked me through every step in transferring from one phone to the other. Thank you, Alex!

    I upgraded my IPhone today at the North Greenbush NY store. Shamore was excellent, walking me through each step of the process including ways to lower my monthly bill, explanation of the different plans in terms of number of hotspots, insurance coverage, etc. She was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. We engaged in conversation about many different topics while waiting for the new phone to complete set-up. She is a valuable employee who should be considered for promotional opportunities.

      Anthony was absolutely the BEST. If I could have given him 100s across the board, I would have. I have somewhat of a tumultuous history with AT&T. I was a very unhappy Verizon customer for years, but it was all I’d ever known. The only reason I switched to AT&T was because my (incredibly toxic) ex-boyfriend had multiple AT&T lines and internet service. Before we broke up, he convinced me it would be much cheaper to join his family plan than stay on my own Verizon plan. There was one catch: I still owed money on my Verizon phone, and Verizon wouldn’t let me switch until it was paid off. My ex promised he would pay off my remaining Verizon balance, and in return I would take over paying my monthly portion of the AT&T bill.

      Unfortunately, we broke up after I discovered he had secretly gained access to my Apple ID, signed into it on his iPad, and for months tracked my location while reading my texts, emails, and browser history throughout our two-year relationship. Once I moved out and got off his phone plan, I found out two things: first, having a single line with AT&T is significantly more expensive than being on a multi-line plan. Second—and even worse—he had never made a single payment toward my Verizon phone like he had promised. I suddenly found myself making two monthly phone payments: one to Verizon for the unpaid phone balance and one to AT&T for my current service.

      Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled with my situation. Then I met Anthony. Anthony was patient, compassionate, and genuinely listened to what had happened. He never made me feel rushed or judged. He spent extra time walking me through my original issue step by step until I understood exactly what I needed to do. What impressed me even more was that, before I even had to bring up my next concern, he anticipated it and immediately started helping me with that too. I never had to remind him or repeat myself—he was already one step ahead.

      He also looked for ways to save me money. He let me know that enrolling in AutoPay would save me $10 every month, and he explained that I qualified for AT&T Home Internet for only $50 a month—almost half of the $95 a month I’m currently paying another provider. It was clear he genuinely wanted to help me improve my overall situation, not just complete a transaction.

      What meant the most, though, was how kind he was on a human level. After hearing what I’d been through, he reminded me that I was much better off on my own than with someone who treated me so poorly. That small act of kindness meant more than he probably realizes. I sat on hold feeling hopeless, stressed, and overwhelmed. However, I hung up feeling encouraged, genuinely optimistic. He gave me an overall sense of not just empowerment; but that I was capable. After the call was over I found myself saying to myself, "You know what, I'm stronger than I think. I can do this."

      Customer service like Anthony’s is incredibly rare these days. He didn’t just solve my phone's issues—he completely turned my day around. AT&T is incredibly lucky to have someone like him on their team, and I sincerely hope he’s recognized for the exceptional service he provides. Employees like Anthony are the reason customers stay loyal.

      I know you guys probably get a hundred of these a day, and to be honest, I’ve filled out dozens just like this for other companies. But I can’t help but feel the need to emphasize that this was unlike any of the other countless surveys I’ve completed. And I’d be willing to bet this stands out from the overwhelming volume of surveys you’ve received as well. I have a feeling I could have been anyone on the other end of that line, calling about any problem, and Anthony would have tackled their issues head-on with the same kindness, grace, patience, and genuine desire to help. That’s not something you can teach from a training manual. It’s simply who he is. In a world where so many customer service interactions feel AI automated and completely impersonal, Anthony reminded me that one person’s compassion can completely change someone else’s day. Mine certainly did.

      I hope this review reaches Anthony's direct supervisors, and, if it's possible, I'd really love it if this feedback could also be shown to Anthony. I really think he deserves to know how much of a rockstar he is at his job, but even more than that, I hope he knows just how much of a difference he's making in strangers' lives that are on the end of that line.

      Thanks for everything,

      Alex **

The dispute was a $50 issue and we were literally told there was nothing they could do that. They would rather lose us as a customer after 20 years because their policy said otherwise.

      Worst phone carrier service ever. The salespeople are bottom feeders and will lie to your face in your own home. I had to switch to a different WiFi plan after a move. They sent a salesman along with the technician hooking up my WiFi. Funny since I never needed a technician to turn on my WiFi before. It was all for the sale. The salesman took my phone and said he could get me a family plan for less than what I was paying with Metro. I knew he was lying through his teeth and didn’t trust him in my gut, but went along with it anyways.

      First bill was a bit high due to activation fees. Ok, I understand that. The next bill was almost $500, so I called and canceled the service immediately. They are charging me for 5 lines, and activation fees. 2 of those lines never switched and were still active in my old carrier. Over $200 for services I never received. This is also a huge inconvenience as far as switching back to my old number after just switching numbers. And I’m paying over 3x for not even a month of service what I was paying before. I almost want to cancel my WiFi with them now too. And I won’t be paying that second bill of almost $500 at all. I will have them adjust the charges & they can put that on my credit for 7 years. Screw them.

      I cannot deal with this level of insult to me as a customer. I went into an actual brick & mortar store. I was told they cannot help me. My only option was to call the 800 number which I did this morning. Stayed on hold 54 minutes. Total phone call 102 minutes, at the end. Nothing was resolved. However my blood pressure is now through the roof.. I’m taking an extra blood pressure medicine now. Just to make sure I don’t have a high blood pressure stroke, but if I do have a stroke and die today… I certainly hope my family sues AT&T for the wrongful death that they have caused. After that phone call I then called Spectrum. I was on the phone for nine minutes. My issue was resolved.

      I then called DIRECTV and I was on the phone for seven minutes, my issue resolved.. All while speaking with people that speak clearly and articulate correctly. I cannot understand why a company the size of AT&T cannot provide Customer Service?!? I am not saying their CS has to be excellent or superior to others, just equal!!! Heck mediocre would be an improvement! There is no need to ever expect any better!!! I need to learn to live off the grid over find a phone and internet from somewhere that is not this bad!

      The worst company. I’ve been with AT&T for months and it’s been nothing but unprofessional from start to finish. My bill keeps getting jacked up with random charges that aren’t mine, and when I actually get a human in customer service, they act like they couldn’t care less. I called three times to fix a billing error — each rep gave me a different excuse, transferred me, or “accidentally” dropped the call. Nobody took responsibility. Meanwhile, they still expect me to pay the full amount, including charges I never agreed to. It feels like they’re stealing money and banking on customers giving up. Zero accountability, zero help, and zero respect for customers. I’m stuck paying for their mistakes. Do yourself a favor and avoid AT&T if you value your money and sanity.

      Went into the store to just update a changed credit card and the rep signed us up for a new plan supposedly to save us money. 55 and up plan with wireless internet for 108 a month total. Went and streamed movies on 8 devices at a time to check the signal. Seemed fine, after the 7 day trial period it became random service, sometimes having to reboot to get anything. Strike one. Shortly after they took 156 dollars from our checking account, which they said we needed to use to get the discount. With no explanation, and must have changed the password on our account so we could not see the bill. So we went into the store to resolve. The same rep fixed our account login and said he resolved it and the problem was the way it was bundled it did not show up correct on the bill. He called someone and then said the overcharge would be credited toward the next bill.

      A few weeks later we get another bill for 108 dollars and after looking at the account we now had access to, both of these bills were just for the phones, not even including wireless internet. After many hours on the phone, and in the store they would only agree to 40 dollar refund. Strike 2. Got another bill now in the mail with a late charge on the wireless router which happens to be a different account not connected to the checking account because maybe when we set it up we used the another phone # on the plan.

      Today we decided to get away from ATT at any cost and go to another carrier and cannot. So far, today we now found out our phones are locked to ATT which they were unlocked phones when we bought them, After many more hours on the phone being hung up on, and promises of returned calls witch don't always happen, they insist that they are not locked to ATT and don't know why. They put in a case and will get back to us in a week. When we go on the ATT website, to unlock them it says we have to be in our account for 60 days. Also ATT website it says that deals on the billing may take 2-3 months to show up on your bill. So now after studying the bill the first 156 dollars was for a total of 3 days service. This is not over yet after probably 15 hours trying to resolve this. Incompetent liars and thieves, RUN AWAY FROM ATT!

      I switched to AT&T based on promises that my monthly bill would be much lower than it actually was and that I would receive promotional “free” phones. Instead, my bills were hundreds of dollars higher than what I was quoted, with one bill reaching nearly $600. It took months of complaints before AT&T made only partial corrections, and my account still does not reflect what I was originally promised.

      Most recently, I had an approved payment arrangement requiring a payment of $330 by July 9, 2026. Despite that agreement, AT&T disconnected my wireless service on the very day the payment was due. When I called, the first representatives confirmed they could see my payment arrangement. Later that same day, other representatives claimed I never had one, even after I offered to forward the confirmation email AT&T had sent me.

      I was then told to pay $375 to restore my service. I immediately paid with my debit card, and the money was withdrawn from my bank account. My service was still not restored. I was then told I had to pay an additional $81, which I also paid. Even after both payments, my service remained disconnected because I was told I had to wait for the payment to finish processing—even though the funds had already been debited from my account.

      Throughout the day I received contradictory information from multiple representatives. Some told me my service would be restored after payment, while others later denied anyone had ever made that promise. I requested that AT&T review the chat and call transcripts from that day because they would show the conflicting information I received, but no meaningful action was taken.

      Because of these ongoing issues, I have filed complaints with the FCC, the Better Business Bureau, the Georgia Consumer Protection Division, and the Federal Trade Commission. My experience has been frustrating, time-consuming, and unacceptable. I would strongly encourage anyone considering AT&T to carefully review all terms, save every document, and keep records of every interaction.

      AT&T is the absolute worst company I’ve ever dealt with in just about any industry I can think of. I’m certain that they’re involved in large scale corrupt business practices because they’re protected by the red tape of arbitration. Every 10 years or so, I get roped back in by some deal on another form of service (I.e internet might be better, FirstNet can’t be too bad) and oh man, I end up so incredibly frustrated that I immediately regret any possible savings they promise. Typically it has to do with promotions, gift cards, rebate, discounts, that take months (!) to complete, process, or pay.

      Their grift is having no record of the promotion you’re talking about, referring you to another person or department whose job that is, and having you repeat the entire story over and over again. If that doesn’t frustrate and get you to give up, your call is inexplicably cut off, or more likely, you’re told they have notated the account and will fix very soon and just to wait a few more days/weeks. They can do this for months, and my belief is this is part of their business model. That 50% or more people just give up and drop the issue because they’re so frustrated or busy in life.

      I purchased a Choice Home Warranty policy and, the following day, I was contacted with an offer for AT&T Internet service, which I already had, as well as AT&T cellular service. An AT&T representative came to our home to discuss switching our cellular service. During our conversation, he initially indicated everything was fine. He later called me back with his manager, Keith **, on the line. Keith was very persuasive and assured me that switching to AT&T would be a great decision, so we agreed to make the change.

      The switch was completed on a Friday. However, when I returned to work on Monday, I discovered that the cellular service was not working properly and was not reliable enough for my needs. I immediately contacted Keith and informed him that I would be canceling the service and switching back that same day. Keith tried to convince me to stay by offering various incentives, but I declined because dependable service was my priority. I want my money back.

There will be times when you just get hung up on multiple times in a row. They will give you information that is not accurate.

I noticed something was off with the total due, which I question the Customer Service person about. I paid what they said I owed and some how it got applied to the following months bill instead of paying the cell phone off. I called them and asked that they put it towards my cell and not the service. Now they show my bill as past due when is not even due until the 22nd of the month.

      Do Not Ever Go To This Store!!! I made the unfortunate decision to go to our local "AT&T" store as I was overdue for a phone upgrade. The phone I wanted had to be ordered and I expressed my fear about the transfer not occurring successfully and wanted to make sure he is confident this could be avoided. He looked at my phone and stated everything was backed up and this should not be an issue. I went against my gut as my initial feeling walking into the store did not meet the same level of service I am accustom to from an AT&T store. In addition, I personally witness the manner in which another customer (elderly) was treated. The tone lacked empathy, service, and care. It is at this moment I was made aware that the store is not an AT&T store but instead and authorized dealer, Blue Link. By then I had already ordered the phone and was informed I had 14 days to change my mind.

      A few days later my phone arrived at the store and I went by to complete the transfer. The original employee who placed the order was not present and the other employee who I now understand to be Kajon (Mgr) completed the transfer as well as place the purchased screen protector on the new phone. I had to rush back home for a call and was told everything was complete. After my calls I proceeded to check my emails, WhatsApp messages, etc. and messages were either not coming through or from 2024. This is where the REAL nightmare began.

      Upon returning to the store for assistance I was met with, "we don't help with that" "that's the provider problem" "we can't do that". In addition, the screen protector he placed on the phone was not done correctly and he pretty much refused to fix it. I confirmed my 14 day return policy and left and went to the REAL AT&T Store in Dedham. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with such joy and assurance. ANDREW is a STAR! I've written a totally different review that experience. I made the decision to return the phone and screen protector with plans to then return to the AT&T store and purchase the phone there. Upon my arrival at the store, I saw the original employee who sold me the phone. I explained to him that I would like to return everything I purchased and for him to just have everything back to what it was on my phone and account before the purchase.

      At this moment, he told me he would return the phone but he is not doing anything else. That is for me to figure out. At this point he got up from the desk and went in the back and got the guy who set up the phone (Kajon/Mgr). I asked for their names along with the name of their supervisor which they refused to give. Kajon eventually gave his name after I took pictures of both at which time the other employee stated I am recording the conversation so he should calm down. In the end we got half way through the transfer and Kajon's tone and refusal to assist, stating "normally he would assist but he's not going to in this case" or "he is kicking me out of the store and refusing to help".

      Please note for most of this dialogue there were two other potential customers in the store. At this point I left and went back to the Apple Store in Dedham. He convinced my to go with the best option for me which was keep the phone, fixed the screen protector and 2 Apple watches and Tablets later I am back to being a happy AT&T customer.

      Bottom line is, if you are an existing AT&T customer or considering the service, DON'T EVER GO to NEWTON. As a customer you will be highly disappointed and frustrated, and as a business owner, I don't need to see the books to know this store is not performing at it's full potential. Absolutely unacceptable service from both employees and if this is what BLUE LINK stands for you won't be in business for long.

      AT&T is the worst wireless company. Signal breaks up, you’re told one thing when you sign up and once you sign up it is completely another. We were told we would be getting new free phones, instead I am paying almost the full price on them. Takes forever to get out of the automated service… It’s like they know people are calling to complain and don’t want to deal with them. I am now stuck with this service for another 2 1/2 years unless I want to pay to get out. I cannot wait to be done with this company. Stay away from this company as a wireless service at all cost!

      Not the best experience! When I signed up early June for Instant On, I was waiting and waiting for an email or someone to contact me that I can go ahead and use it. Got the email, but when I tried to complete the process, it kept giving me account number not found or email address not found. Went in person to AT&T about it, and said that someone should be reaching out to me. I decided to go with Xfinity instead because I was still getting no progress. So I went back to AT&T to cancel the service and they gave me a number to call.

      Called the number, they gave me another number to call because there's a different department that handles community share internet. Got it cancelled on the 22nd. Mind you, I still couldn't get access to internet or through the website. So I see a charge for June and called them today. Apparently, I'm not getting $51.96 back for a service I wasn't able to use based on their cancellation policy even though they can probably see on their end that I haven't fully registered through their website or logged on to their internet. Don't ever get AT&T internet! They stole my money and wasted my time!

      AT&T is the worst!! Horrible, horrible service. My phone was on sos 80% of the time. No service at work, I work at the hospital. They are overpriced for bad service. They also added an iPad to my account that we did not order nor did we receive one! We called costumer service they said go the store; we go to the store they said call customer service. They had no problem added something to my account that I didn't order then gave me the runaround to remove it!! They also were able to follow the transaction, so they saw that we never received an iPad, yet the still refused to remove it! They said it would cost me 600 to remove something I didn't order, and they can see that I never received, like whattttt!!!! We canceled our five lines and went to T-Mobile!! Now I have service at work, cheaper bill (not being charged for items I didn't order), free Netflix, free in-flight Wi-Fi (I travel a lot), and other free perks!

      If you want to have to micromanage your wireless provider, then AT&T is for you. Not only is their service terrible (dropped calls, buggy connections, terrible wifi), but their customer service is ATROCIOUS! I just spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get a simple thing (international service set up). My call was dropped multiple times, I had to verify account details nearly half a dozen times (same info btw), but at the end of all that, they couldn't help me and told me to go online! I will be switching my wireless provider ASAP. I'm writing this to save anyone considering ATT the hassle of going in that direction. Maybe they've gotten too big to care or even to be able to handle their equipment? I don't know why they suck so hard, but stay away... far far away from their service.

      Minus ten stars. Someone with government control needs to look into this and put these thieves out of business. I only have room here to give you the tip of the iceberg. Mid March I signed up for what sounded like a decent deal. Internet and two phones approx. $109.11 a month. DirecTV approx. $112. a mo. paid separately. One Iphone 16 Pro traded for 17 Pro, no charge, save for advance pay of taxes. Other 12 pro traded for 17 E, charge of $1.39 mo. + advance pay of taxes. Sounded good as this was nearly the same as X-finity monthly.

      First bill came in auto deducted $284. for internet and phones only. Second bill,{ cancelled auto pay,} came in at $241. Had issues from day one but could never get answers, yet I called at least 20 times, usually two and half hours per call, plus constant transfers or change of number, so call again. Sent back two routers with UPS provided labels and have Tracking numbers that verify receipt but now, they've billed me $961. for item not received. Stores can not assist you with any real issues since only phone assistance is allowed to control issues, bills, etc..

      No help, no ability to speak to an American, no service, just pure abuse that needs serious attention. Store agents and phone agents lie and then lie some more to cover the lies. I'm at my wits' end and they will soon realize that I'm not paying for what I don't owe. I'll likely suddenly be without internet, TV, or phones to even call elsewhere for new ones. I'm 78 and at a loss of what do I do now? Below it says, "Add a Receipt" but if they did that, then they'd provide you with a legitimate argument.

The corporate store AT&T rep mislead me to add a 4th line to get 4 lines at $25 each per line. This promotion ended in March and caused my bill to literally double. After spending 10 hours over 2 days in the store and 3 calls to AT&T covering another 2.5 hours of my time and frustration, this is unresolved. I am being financially penalized for a corporate store employees switch and bait tactic. The reps have been understanding but are unable to do anything about it! Good bye AT&T

      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.

      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
