    I don't have the patience to write a lengthy review but I will say this.... I must have called 10 times at least and gotten a different answer everytime. I've been transferred all over the world. Spent countless hours listening to elevator music. People have screwed up my bill so many times. When I finally switched to Verizon I didn't know what I was really paying. Lastly, when I tried to call and cancel it took me 45 minutes of being transferred all over the place and waiting for the next rep. No accessible customer service in the U.S. either. I don't mind speaking to another country but when you are having an issue, it's nice to talk to someone who understands the problem and isn't spitting from a script. Go ANYWHERE other than AT&T!!!

    An AT&T rep stopped by my house and convinced me to switch from Spectrum to AT&T for internet and cable. My complaint is not with the rep, but with the company. I was scheduled for service setup and I got a fiber optic line, but no equipment to actually use it. I called and another appointment was scheduled. I called 2 days before to confirm this appointment and to ensure that I would not be billed for the current unusable line. I was told that I would not be billed and AT&T would be there as scheduled. The day before the appointment I get an email saying my appointment has been canceled with no specified reason. They completely wasted my time on 3 separate occasions. Would not recommend.

    Never sent a bill. They shut off my wireless internet. Paid the bill and next month no bill again and they added 35.00 to restore my internet. Took 1 1/2 hours to get them to send bill and still not sure of me getting a paper bill. Customers service is bad. They hung up on me and then transfers me 5 times. Bad services.

    So, I was so excited to try the new fiber 300 Mbps internet. I ordered it online to have it delivered and installed free of charge. only $40 month deal. Everything went so well and smooth. I schedule my appointment on the 30th of September from 8am-12pm window with a 30 min call to let me know that they are coming. I took a day off from work for this. I woke up ready to go. Then I hit the shower got out just to see that the technician actually came at my house, without notice and I read an SMS on my phone saying: "I was at your house and you were not here so I cancel you out". HOW STUPID OF HIM???

    I called ATT to tell them what happen and to ask them to get the guy back to install it. They told me, I am sorry Sir but he is very busy and you should have been home. That is a way to treat a new customer! I told them that if they are incapable of getting him back the same day that I will cancel my purchase. I even asked to speak with the escalation team. They said that it is OK if I want to cancel, and they did! Just to make a point here, ATT act like they are too big to fail, and that is scary. Nobody should use ATT for any reason, especially when they don't care. All they care is a 12 month contract to lock you in paying! I am short selling their shares too! Long live and prosper to see them fail! Peace!V!

    Before I jump into the gory details I will point out some largely unknown considerations which are not mentioned or highlighted by AT&T Reps or advertising. For those who don't want to take the trip down the rabbit hole, into my personal adventure.

    1. The "Get One" is not free, unless you are buying less desirable devices. They have a maximum credit that you may use toward your get one device. In my case, that was $300 less than the cost of the device. So you end up paying at least a small payment on the second device. Also you will pay ALL sales tax, up front. To me, I don't see how they are able to advertise their offer as a buy one, get one?

    2. You have to add a new phone line to qualify. Like many other people, I figured what the heck, it's only $20 a month for the newly added line. The AT&T Sales reps even read it back to me (and probably everyone else) in that fashion. Something like, "Ok you have the new line for $19.99 a month...bla bla." What they fail to mention is they will be adding the standard data rate to that line as well. So that added line became roughly $70/mo for me. Essentially, they make a much larger profit that if you were to simply buy the two phones on standard, full-price payment plans.

    3. The credit toward the second device a.k.a. "get one" is not given to you immediately. It is split up over the standard term (30-months).

    4. (PAY ATTENTION HERE) AT&T has a clause in the terms of their BOGO offers allowing them to "discontinue giving you the credit toward the free device at any time during that 30 month term" if you are late on your bill and they turn off (suspend) your account, even if you pay it instantly and your devices are restored within the hour. If you want the BOGO credit reinstated, you have to call in and have them open a case. Then a special department, the "ICU team," will decide whether to restore the BOGO credit or not. So if you go on vacation or heaven forbid, lose your job, and your cell phone bill is shut off for a day or two, and it just so happens it is on month two of your BOGO, they can revoke your credit and you will be expected to pay full price for both devices, until you open a case and the fate of your deal is in the hands of the ICU gods. I bet you are thinking, WTF? And so was I. How can such an unfair policy be in place? How can they fail to mention it? Why did I have to call and speak with over 10 AT&T Representatives, in at least three departments, before one of them knew about this rule? I think the answer is simple, they probably don't offer their Reps much information about that rule and Sales is probably left clueless.

    Unless you already planned on opening a new phone line and keep your bill on auto-pay, these BOGO deals are just way too risky and one-sided, with good ole AT&T getting nearly all of the benefit. So... With all of that in mind, if you would still like to take a trip into a summarized version of my 5 month saga with AT&T's Customer Care-less Reps, read on. Keep this in mind, if you read all of it. At the time I posted this, AT&T still has not done a single thing to make this right for me. I am truly disgusted by the horrid treatment by this greedy, corporate hoard.

    On (5/4/2019) I called AT&T to have a Representative review my account. I explained that my monthly bill seems higher than it should be. He told me that I stopped receiving a monthly credit for a BOGO offer, after a few months and couldn't find a reason for it. I signed up for a BOGO at an AT&T retail location, in Clearwater, FL, on (12/09/2017). He reviewed the details with his Mgr. and both agreed that I am "due $580.30 for the missing months of BOGO credit" and they submitted a case for me. For months after, (5/4/19 - 9/20/19), I called AT&T (each month) and received a different excuse on every call, about why my credit has not yet been issued. I kept details of each Rep. and call.

    I grew tired of feeling misled, being passed between Departments, with no results, and I filed complaint with BBB. On 9/25 I received a voicemail and an email from AT&T "the Office of the President." On 9/26 I spoke to the Rep. Tammy **, who had apparently been assigned my case. She told me, "the reason I am not receiving the credit is because the AT&T Sales Rep. had 'not' signed me up for the BOGO, just as an upgrade" on 12/9/17. I told her, "this is the first time anyone has said this to me. Not one of the 10+ AT&T Rep's or Mgr's has even questioned me about the BOGO deal." For 5 months, on each call, AT&T Reps would spend (1+ hours) reviewing my acct. and associated notes, asking me all types of questions.

    Every time the Rep and Mgr on the call decided to push my case forward, assuring me that it will be handled "this time." Tammy apologized for their many errors but offered no remedy for the service charges, now up to $867. I've been lead to believe, time and time again, that the credit was going to happen which would have covered the monthly fees accumulated during this process. She offered a $100 credit, in lieu of the $580 credit, and said, "that's the best she could do." That is odd, considering two lower ranking Reps had already asked me if I would accept $270, instead of $580.

    I asked her, "if the phones were added to my acct. as an upgrade, not the BOGO deal I asked for and was told I was signing up for, why was an additional phone line also added on the exact same day as the (2) identical, Samsung Note-8 phones?" I explained, "The new line added (7007) was a requirement to qualify for a BOGO deal, not a requirement for an upgrade." I asked, "please, look at that phone line and she'd see that it has never even been used." She did look and confirmed that the line had not been used. After that she said that she could remove the (7007) line from my account and not charge me the cancellation or monthly fees ($70/mo) remaining on that line, but no retroactive credit.

    If the AT&T Sales Rep. signed us up on the wrong type of account and I've not received any of the BOGO credit, that line also should not have been added (not required for an upgrade). The $70/mo in service fees that I've paid, since 12/2017, should be credited back to me. I sent Tammy an email with this request. I also added it to the latest response AT&T added for my BBB complaint where they stated, "they've tried to reach me but haven't heard back." Even though, prior to that, I'd already sent two emails and had the 56-minute conversation with Tammy, which I have been detailing in this complaint. I have heard nothing further from Tammy ** or AT&T.

    The BOGO deal that I was told I was receiving and what I accepted, never happened. The new phone line, "required" to qualify for their BOGO offer, also should not have been added along with its ($70/mo) in service fees. From any angle this is viewed it's clearly negligence by AT&T Representatives. I would like them to be accountable for it and refund ($70/mo x 20 months = $1400), since Tammy ** "Office of the President" explained this large mistake made by AT&T.

    Had a buy one get one promotion. Did it and paid for it. ATT continued to bill me for over a year at 30 a month. I called and complained that I had paid for the phone a year earlier and yet was being charged 30/month. Customer service said they could not look back that far in billing. They forwarded us to loyalty department and after two hours of being on the phone no resolution. We will be cancelling our 15years of service with ATT today. By the way. They handle DirecTV the same way. Horrible service and loyalty!!!!

    AT&T has charged me to incorrect amount for 3 months straight now and I've had to call and correct the charges each time, which took me hours. Each time I was assured it was corrected and my future bills would be correct. After 3 months, I cancelled my service, and now they're refusing to issue the refund for the incorrect charges for my last bill because I cancelled my account.

    I was an AT&T prepaid member on their $65 a month unlimited plan (which is $55 a month with autopay) until recently, due to financial constraints I ended up needing to downgrade to the $35 a month plan ($30 a month with autopay). The $55 that I paid was on the 22nd and I switched on the 27th which means that I had only used 5 days of my 30 day billing cycle for my plan meaning I still had 25 days left equaling around $48.83 left of value on my plan. Come to find out even when you downgrade a plan the new billing cycle opens up and you have to pay AT&T $35 all over again and not get credit for time you had left again for me equaling $48.83.

    Now I get that they don't want people upgrading their plans all the time just to get that little extra more data for their plans and not paying the premium price for the whole time but I was on unlimited and was asking for less and just asking for a $48.83 credit to my account for which they refused to give. So now because I don't talk or text much and I will now be using wifi as my main means of internet consumption, they aren't even getting the $30 a month that they would have if they had just worked with me because I am now only on their 25 cent a minute plan. So, they will only ever get $10 every 3 months from me until I find a better cellular company that actually can use some common sense and not try to basically steal from their customers and the only reason they're even getting that much from me is that that's the amount of time it takes for prepaid minutes to expire.

    After more than 3 years of being with AT&T I moved out of AT&T because of its hidden charges and inconsistent billing amount. When I moved out they charged me for the month even though I was on their service only for few days during the month of September 2019. And when I called them about the issue they threaten me that If I ask my unfairly deducted amount they will transfer back the amount but but will send it for collection. I don't know what to say about these people.

    I spent over 4 hours on the phone with AT&T today. Both my mobile and my internet issues are still unresolved. Cell phone: 17 months ago my account was set up wrong. I have been trying to fix since. After 2 hours I still have the same service. I learned they had been charging me for an additional number for 17 months. Also after 2 more transfers I learned the department that will need to fix these error is closed.

    Cell phone issue 2: 2 week ago while trying to sort out an internet issue, the agent informed me they were giving me a "free" iPhone. This was not something I requested nor something I need or wanted. Given the agent's persistence and unwillingness to discuss my internet issue until I agreed to take the phone, I finally agreed. Then after many forms and promises that there would be no fees, my internet issue was left unresolved and I became the owner of a new plan that I do not want or need. Working to return this phone and cancel this service, I have been told they cannot do this without a manual process which will require me to track the package and then call back to make sure they do their job.

    Internet: We moved into a new home and requested the highest speed internet. The rep came and left the line cable exposed, running down my house, across my lawn, taped to my driveway, and through 2 neighbors yards. I was told this would be buried. 5 weeks later and after a number of outages, the cable is still taped to my driveway and keeps getting damaged by animals and neighbors.

    This service is appalling. AT&T has sold me what they want me to have, not what I need or want. I have had to sit on hold endlessly, when asking for a supervisor am told I cannot speak with one and am continually left with unresolved issues. I have now paid off my phones and paid early exit fees. Also I have been charged for phones I never had, and phones I did not request. They have also charged me a fee to pay off the purchase of my cell phones early which I did not even think legal. I am free to look elsewhere and would never recommend AT&T to anyone. This was the worst experience one could possibly have.

    We have used AT&T for 12 years or so (before the name change) and are grateful for the First Responder discount we ALREADY had on our account. My complaint is customer service's lack of knowledge and their representatives misrepresentation of services provided. We've visited 3 different stores in addition to spending an hour and half on the phone with customer service. We had a pretty basic plan compared to the more extensive ones offered. We share 20GB between 2 lines and a tablet. There's also one phone payment plan and 2 mobile insurances, so we're paying $167.93.

    FirstNet came to visit at the fire station to pitch the new partnership and discounts offered, but we went in-store to TRY to verify details. First questions being if we were to edit our account, is it ideal to wait until our billing period ends or do they adjust your bill for the current period? They adjust your bill in the following month but bc of changes, we ended up paying 3 separate bills in the span of 30 days. Maybe some people don't care about that, but we do as a family of 6. We opted for autopay to "save $10." What's amazing is that after deducting the activity payments from partial month charges.

    Our FirstNet with my AT&T bill is now $170.69. My question is how the heck is switching to FirstNet and having their family discount saving us anything?! Even with auto bill pay activated we are still roughly $3 MORE. We tried explaining this several times, so they took off our tablet line to show that we're "saving money" with the changes. So now we lost our third line with a savings of only $10.73. Essentially, we could have just kept our account as is with all 3 lines, applied auto bill pay to save $10, avoided wasting hours of our time, energy, gas driving, and mileage.

    This is by far the worst customer service experience, and FirstNet is a crock. If you want priority phone service, then sure I guess go ahead and make the switch but be aware that you're spending more for it not "saving" as they claim. At the very beginning we asked them to calculate everything before we made the change. We were told that we'd save an estimate of $30-50 after taxes and fees. This would have been great if it were true. We made it very clear that we did NOT want to make any changes if we were going tdo pay more for it. The response was that they can't do anything, so much for customer loyalty or giving back. They are just taking advantage of the First Responder community, don't take the bait! I'll be going back to their store end of October just to show them all 3 printed statements side by side. Hopefully someone in that company can understand basic arithmetic.

    ATT has no customer service. The people who answer your phone calls cannot speak English and do not understand what you are calling in about. Each time I am forced to call the service number, the agents either transfer me 15 times or "accidentally" transfer me back to the switchboard so I can go through the entire computerized mess again. Combining my DirectTV with ATT was the worst mistake of my life because now I get to deal with the subpar customer service for TWO of my services. I'm pretty sure anything would be better than what they have now. If I could give this service 0 stars, I would.

We were told they would be paid off, and we would receive a gift card of 250.00 and told what the monthly bill would be. As of Sept 2019 nothing we were promised has occurred phones not paid off, no gift card and bill almost same as I was paying Verizon. I've called several times to no avail. This has been a complete mess. Every time you call someone different handles the call. You are never told the same thing. I now wish that I never met the representative or went for this.

    Prior to leaving the country, my husband added the Day pass on our account for both our phones, cost $10.00 per phone line per day if we used the phones. I used my cell phone in Jamaica because it was $10.00 per day. However, once we received a bill, the calls totaled over $1900.00. More than one representative assured us that this mistake could be corrected. Your company took over $1900.00 from our banking account and reversed the payments because the bill was incorrect. I was only used the phone in Jamaica, but the charges are for calls from numerous islands. Even so, the representatives declared that all the islands were covered under the Day pass program.

    After reversing our money back to our bank, we were never notified through our text messages or through our emails that we had to pay the unfair charges. We called numerous times to speak with a supervisor, but was placed on hold for over 30 minutes each time. On yesterday, you turned off our phones, which was totally unfair.

    At&t gave me an amount for my new billing. (*so I would not switch over to Verizon.) The first month, the bill was not correct with the amount they told me, so they gave me a credit after I called them. This happened three months in a row. Today, the fourth month, they told me they were not going to honor the agreement because it should not have been given to me. (I have the agreement. They sent it to my email.) I was told it did not matter. They would not honor it. Even though I'd called three times before, talked to 3 different people who said it was good, they were just having computer problems. Now today, I'm told those associates did not know about the agreement. I gave up a good deal to go to Verizon, because they offered this to me.

    I am not one to write reviews (and I think this would be my first) on anything but this past experience was awful. I understand there are long hold times and am pretty easy going about it but when an issue take 6+ plus hours to not even resolve I feel like I have to say something. We initially had cable and internet. Our areas highest internet speed provided by AT&T when we moved was 30 mbps. (I would be happy to go to Spectrum but unfortunately my work line is provided by them and they cannot have both a personal and business lines in the same house).

    After our 2 year contract was up I went back to see if they had any higher speed and was ecstatic to see 100 mbps. We are not cable people and only had it due to the low speed internet so the first thing I do is call to cancel Directv and upgrade the internet. This process initially took 1 ½ hours and after all this time the representative advised he could not help and transferred to another representative.

    About 30 minutes later the current rep fixed the errors of the other (he had added Uverse and upgraded internet) and we were set to have the new internet line installed Aug 15th with a new monthly bill of $50 plus tax (we couldn’t get the $40 promotion since we didn’t bundle anything). The installer came and went and we had no issues. We even received the return equipment letter we were told we would get for the Directv equipment.

    Fast forward to today… I started by logging in and seeing that our bill went up… WE OWE $404. I dig a little deeper and see that we are being billed for Uverse TV now and internet with all these extra fees. I immediately get on the phone thinking it would be a quick resolve since I have dates, names, and past emails of what should have been done. I sat on the phone being passed around from one rep to another with not one person just accepting responsibility for the mix up. They continue to say we can cancel your TV today but you will still owe the $404. 4 hours later and my ticket was escalated to only be followed up within 3 days.

    I have been a AT&T customer for 8 yrs now. I bought a wireless hotspot device with them back in June 2019 from a local (AT&T) retail store in flower mound, TX. I did not like it so went back to the store and returned it within "buyer's remorse period" of 14 days. Next month I see a charge on my account for the device and activation fee with total of $154 dollars. I made the payment of that bill not realizing they had included a fee for the device I already returned.

    When I realized my mistake, I called AT&T customer service line and requested that I be refunded for the amount that I was charged for June as I had already returned the device within the allowed time. I was told they have credited that amount on my account. Following month July and August, I see they have charged me again for the services for the returned device for 80 dollar each month. I called them again and they said they can't do anything about that and I need to talk to loyalty department to get this addressed.

    I called AT&T loyalty department and talked to an agent and then a supervisor for about 2 hours who mentioned that I have already received a credit for the services for the device returned once and the charges on my account showing up for month of July and August will have to be paid although I have not been using the device since June. The supervisor claimed that I had accepted a credit "deal" that stated that I agreed to not ask for any credit in the future for this device which was completely false statement which I have never made to anyone.

    I told the supervisor that I am not willing to pay for services on a device that I have returned since June for which they are charging me until September and supervisor said there is nothing she can do about it and then ended the conversation. I feel totally cheated by AT&T who expect me to pay for 3 months service on a device that was returned months ago. Do not see a resolution from the company as they have suspended my account for refusing to pay the fraudulent charges. Future customers beware!!

    I decided to change phone services from ATT to Verizon because I'm getting married and wanted to get a line with my new wife on her service. I had an i-phone 8+ and was happy with the phone. I was told by the Verizon salesperson I would need to get my phone un-locked so they could set it up with one of their sims and switch me to Verizon. When I went to the local ATT store I was told no problem. It would be done within 48 hours. 48 hours went by and still no phone. I am 65 taking care of an elderly brother now with no phone service. So I went back to the ATT store and asked why my phone was still not unlocked, This time I'm told I still owe money on my phone and it can't be un-locked till I pay the bill. Two days ago I was told I was good to go. I told them that's fine. I'll pay what I owe on the phone.

    Now I'm told I can't pay the bill until it comes in the mail which may be as long as three weeks. Are you kidding me! No phone for three weeks? I'm a Veteran and I'm waiting for a call on a hip surgery as well as staying in contact with my elderly brother who needs a lot of assistance. Their response is sorry sir. So I go back to Verizon. They tell me they can't do anything with the i phone 8+ until it's un-locked. My only option, unless I want to wait the 3 weeks, was to buy a new phone which set me back $800.00. Bad advice and bad sevice from ATT cost me. And now I have to pay off the iphone 8 with ATT on top of it to add insult to injury.

    After almost two hours in the store, the tech told us that we would get the service we want, but we will not get the $300 discount that we asked them about when we started, two hours previously. So, we did the natural thing: we cancelled. However, they had already put a hold on $300, which took place immediately, and they get to play with our money for a week before the cancellation clears.

    Three years ago, I bought DirecTV from them. Among other perks, I was promised two $100 gift cards. Despite numerous and repeated complaints to them, I never received the cards, which are listed in the contract I signed. After two years of their lies, I cancelled one year prematurely because I would rather pay a one-year cancellation penalty than deal with a fraudulent company.

    Omg, I don't know where to start. So I will try to make a long long story not as long. Back in August 23rd I called to upgrade my phone and to get my own plan started because I got divorced and I needed to off his plan. Well that in itself would take too long to explain. So I called on that day. Talked to T. ** and explained my situation so I ordered the Samsung S8 1 up from what I had. Who cares I use it for a phone and messaging so anyways I asked him for the lowest price plan. HE TOLD ME 3GB UNLIMITED TALK AND MESSAGING FOR $60-10 if I sign up for auto pay. Great I thought. Omg nope.

    So 1 day I went into my AT&T app and I almost fell off my chair because T. ** didn't do his job correctly. I was charged UNLIMITED data. My bill was $126.08 when it should have been 60 plus tax (To some $126.08 is not a lot but again my phone is used for a phone not a computer) so I knew right then and there I put my hands in my face and knew I have a challenge because they messed up. Not me. I knew I was going to have to talk to people that I can't understand at all and they say over and over (I UNDERSTAND LET ME PULL UP YOUR ACCOUNT). MY GOSH HOW LONG DOES IT Take to pull up an account. There's was times I would say "Hello are you there" because there is silence and I've been hung up on may times so I start the conversation with what's your name and ID# but half of the time they give you a fake name and id#. So long story I had to pay for their mistake or they would shut my service off and they made the mistake. Not me.

    How the heck can that be fair or legal. So I'm waiting for my 2nd bill because if it's still wrong after like 8 people including a couple managers that never call you back. One named Walter terrible manager and how did he get that position. They have scripted they go off of. Every time you call it's the same and then when they transfer you then you have to tell the whole story again. So my story is if my bill is wrong I will give them their phone and cancel the service and I will fight for my rights because they made the mistake. Not me. I will NEVER use them again!!!!

    So I purchased a iPhone for my daughter less than a year ago and of course something came up and we had to file a claim with the replacement plan that we got on her phone. Well, in addition to paying for the original cost of the phone, we had to pay a like $250 deductible for the replacement of the phone. Ok so then they told me we have 12 months warranty on the phone that was replaced. Ok so I did change cell phone services because I was not happy with AT&T for other reasons. Well I just called them today and got the run around from many people especially supervisor Mary #** at #866-506-9748.

    They went through a testing and agreed that the phone needs to be replaced but then said my warranty of the product is void because I no longer have an account with them. How does this make any sense? If there is a warranty (not to mention that I just paid them a deductible a few months ago), it should always be in effect until it is expired! This is just so frustrating. So in my experience. Just stay AWAY from AT&T folks!

    First off, if possible I would have rated AT&T lower than a 1, my wife and I have been with AT&T for decades. This afternoon both of our cellphones quit working. I am hard of hearing, so my wife called AT&T Service, the wait was minimal to talk to a technician. The technician walked my wife through both cell phones in an attempt to get it resolved. The technician finally told my wife that the system was down and we would need to wait 2 to 3 days for service.

    After an hour and a half +-, my wife asked to talk with a supervisor, the wait to talk to a supervisor was long, 20 min +-, then she was hung up on. My wife called back and was directed to another technician who again tried to resolve the issue, finally telling my wife that she would need to go to an AT&T store. After waiting her turn in the AT&T store, a technician helped my wife and she thought the issue was resolved. Outside of our home both phones worked. Inside the house, my cell phone's internet worked but the phone would not work for incoming or outgoing calls.

    To make a long story short, since that first visit to the AT&T store, we have been on the phone with 3 different technicians and she has returned to the AT&T store. The issue on both phones seems to be no internet connection; we can't connect to the network, hard to believe since my phone's internet is working. We have turned the WIFI on as directed and still no phone service.

    We have been told over the phone that we need to activate a feature on our phones, the only problem is the feature we are being told to activate is not on our phones. We use AT&T because of their expected knowledge and ability to work with customers that do not have that expertise. Between my wife and we have expended over 8 hours and are no better off than before communicating with AT&T. This is a fine way of losing customers who have been loyal customers for a long time.

    Before going to Greece for two weeks, I investigated how we could limit our AT&T Wireless fees. I decided to keep the International Day Pass plan on the device that already had it, and to add it to the two devices that didn't. This way, we would pay $10 per device per day only on the days we used them. A few days into the trip, we decided we wanted to be able to use our phones every day, so we signed up for the 30-day Passport plan, for which we paid $60 per device for 30 days of coverage.

    We proceeded to use our phones every day of the trip, thinking we were free of the restrictions of the plan that assesses a daily charge based on whether or not you use the phone that day. I expected to pay $10 per day per device for the first few days of the trip, and then $60 per device for the remainder of the trip. However, AT&T charged us $60 each for the Passport plan and also continued to charge us the daily fee.

    I found the following information later on an FAQ page. I think AT&T should have made this more clear when I added the Passport plan after I already had the International Day Pass plan: "Q. How will I be charged if I add both International Day Pass and AT&T Passport to my device? A. You’ll be charged $10/day when you use your phone in a country included in International Day Pass. Passport rates and allowances will only apply in Passport countries that are not included in International Day Pass. Go to att.com/globalcountries to review products available by country."

    Beware: If you're traveling in a country covered by both Passport and International Day Pass, you should not carry both plans. You might expect, like I did, for AT&T to assess the daily fee only if your usage is not covered by the Passport plan. But that's not the case. I'm still seeking resolution with AT&T, but it looks like I was misled and this will cost me about $250.

    My 2 cents: As far as coverage goes, ATT is pretty great but so are other major carriers. As far as new customers go, ATT is pretty good and so are all other carriers. HOWEVER, if you're an existing customer and you need to do any maintenance on your account - example, transfer billing, move to a multi line plan, change accounts, change plans etc - AT&T is an ADMINISTRATIVE NIGHTMARE. Their predatory ways are designed to make it hard for the customer to be flexible. While I understand the need for MNC's to restrict unnecessary movement for security reasons- they do it not to ensure customer safety/convenience but to keep you locked in so you do not have any flexibility to move or leave.

    August, 2nd week- My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to be on one phone plan. He was using a different carrier at the time. We called AT&T customer service on that Sunday morning and told them that we wanted to set up a new account under his name and move my number with him. Despite being VERY clear and repeating our request, they put him on the plan I was on. (OPPOSITE of what we wanted to do) We were a little annoyed, since we'd spent an hour on the phone explaining that we wanted a new account under his name and I was to be the 2nd line on that account. They didn't even give us the plan we wanted. They had just added him to my existing account and plan.

    However, we called them again once his sim card came in and they activated it. They told us to move him now, they needed the original account owner to authorize that. My account was under a friend, who had recently moved overseas so he had no way to call them. When we explained the situation, they said he could do it online. I relayed that message to my friend and he made the request online. We went back to AT&T customer service and they said this could only be handled in the store. So a few days later, we went to the store. They told us since my boyfriend's # had been moved only recently - they couldn't do anything for 60 days (Their lock in period - **???).

    So we decided to wait it out. But one fine morning, 2 weeks later, we both received the message that my numbers billing responsibility had been transferred to my boyfriend. 2 hours later, THEY CANCELLED MY LINE!! My boyfriend called their customer service again (since I had no service anymore and was effectively left without a working phone)- they said they could move me to a new account and then move him under me. We agreed to their suggestion. When I proceeded to do that, they asked me what plan I wanted- I told them I wanted a prepaid 2 line plan. They refused and said since this is a transfer they could ONLY do postpaid and they couldn't move my boyfriend's line since that would be against policy. At this point, I just needed a working phone so I said, "Whatever gets my phone working- let's just get on with it and we will figure it out later."

    Next step, and they tell me that they actually can't move me since my LINE HAD GOTTEN CANCELLED and now they need the original account holder to authorize restoring it again. I am still without a working phone and they have not been helpful in the least. I will not even be able to port my number since it is not active on AT&T's end.

    However, rather than dealing with AT&T for one more second - I would much rather get a new phone number with another carrier. I have had the worst customer service experience ever with AT&T. I have never experienced any other company with such blatantly useless policies - it's quite clear what is the most important to them: Making sure people can't leave or move around. They are more concerned with forcing their customers to stay rather than making sure they want to stay because of the quality of service. My suggestion as a loyal AT&T customer for 2.5 years: Do NOT go with AT&T, at some point everyone needs customer service and they will fail you then.

Want to change your plan? “Pay off your $700 phone first then we will work with you on continuing to be a customer of ours.” Uhh...what? Barely seems legal let alone in good customer spirit.

    You are just a number to them. I talked with three supervisors. They do not listen to you. They do not try to help. They just recite a script from an office outside the US and hang up on you when they are done with you causing you to waste another 30 minutes getting back to where you were. I have spent hours over the past week in stores (which have the most powerless employees in any business I have ever met), on the phone, and in chat.

On 9/1/19 I spent nearly 1 hour on the phone with a rep, who moved the approval process for this transaction up the food chain and indicated that this would be taken care of within 24 hours. At that point, I could login and request that the phone be unlocked. When I logged in today, there was no evidence of change. I engaged with an online chat and that individual indicated that they would access the conversation from the previous day and that it would be expedited and resolved within 2-3 hours.

    I logged in again and no evidence of changed. I called and was told that a case was created yesterday and this it would be resolved by 9/4 (not the information shared by the customer service rep, no follow up email sent, nor did I receive a text message). I talked to her boss and he indicated that nothing can be done. The earliest we can hope to have the phone unlocked is 9/5 or 9/6. Gross incompetence. My daughter is studying in China and needs to be able to use a Chinese SIM chip to access her instructional resources and communicate with her peers. Really, it takes 3 days for AT&T to authorize using my money they already have to pay off a phone!! (FYI: If I try to pay it off online, I can only do so by putting in a credit card number.)

    AT&T agreed to pay off my past carrier, they did not. AT&T told me they had high speed internet in my area to sell me DirecTV, they did not have it. Now they want to charge me 200.00 for a product I cannot use. Their customer service calls require a 2 hour minimum to get a problem solved. They told me I could get 2 lines on one phone....

    I went into the store to get a hot-spot that I could use for the house. The sales lady was super nice and before I knew it I was leaving with a router ($200.00) and a business account $100/m0 for 100 KB. Well when I got home I was having difficulties. I attempted to contact customer service. I kept getting the customer service for my wireless phone. (The one I was calling from.) I was given a different number to call. I wast old I did not have an account. I was given a third number to call. they wanted a PIN, which they said was sent to my email.

    The sales lady did not ask me for an email... She put in "noemail@att.net. So they changed my email, but I still count not get a PIN for after 30 days. Their service was slow and not sufficient for my needs, so I called to cancel the service. After many hours and many phone calls, I was told it could not be done over the phone because I did not have a PIN. I should take two IDs to the store and they will cancel the service.

    At the store (which is a 26 mile drive) I was helped by a very nice lady Abby. She called but because there was not PIN the service could not be cancelled. She called another number. Again there was no PIN. The service could not be canceled, and by the way, I owed $230.00 because they bill in advance. Can I pay it now? SO I made a payment, and we were transferred to another specialist who was going to email my PIN to the router phone number. Problem This is a ROUTER. It has no screen. So the call was moved again. By this time I am thinking what is this world coming to? It seems that this is my experience wso many companies and I am too old and too tired to deal with this. I was so thankful that the employee was dealing with it.

    So after conversations, via text, the manger was off site, and many minutes on the phone, some man told me that he would going to cancel it effective immediately. He would put it int he system. Abby asked if "we can verify", what ever that means. She went over to a machine and typed something in, not too sure what. I returned the router in the same box and I thought, wow that is over.

    Until Saturday August 31 when I received a bill for $230.00. I called the number on the bill, After waiting for more than eight minutes, the call was picked up and disconnected. I called again. Again I waited for more than seven minutes and was told I was not calling the correct number. I explained it was the number on the bill.... How could it not be the correct number? She said she would transfer me... Rhe man picked up when it showed the call was over 17 minutes in length. I asked about the bill and explained that I should have a credit because I used the service less than one month and paid for two. I explained that the service was closed on August 19. After all of that he said that my account WAS NOT CLOSED!!! couldn't he see that I had not used the internet since the account was closed. OMG how do people deal with customer service and not scream and cuss???

    I asked him to please read the notes for around August 19. He stated there were NO notes. I asked how he was going to help me. He said he could not help me. So I drove the 25-27 miles back into Liberal and spoke with a manager. I requested the credit and that the account closure be backdated. She said she could not back date it, but she could give me the credit. I explained that all that would happen was the credit would be applied to the next bill. \\Can you please help me.... I cannot deal with this... She said I should bring the next bill in and she would make it right."

    BTW, when I suggested to the first sales lady that in the future she remember to enter the email, her response was, "we are human, we all have to wait on line and we all have to go through it..." A total of more than seven hours of frustration in my life because details do not matter to some one.. What is more important to them is the sale!!! As I told the manager, your staff is very pleasant and kind, but I am not too keen on customer service.

    I am moving to a new apartment which requires AT&T Wi-Fi. I call and set up an appointment to get more information about the different products and services that AT&T offers. My roommate and I decide to just go with the Wi-Fi. Our agent, his name is Jay, completely became arrogant and rude and belittled our decision not to bundle when we don’t use anything but WiFi. But now since he is not getting his commission, his attitude and customer service has changed completely. We set up our installation appointment for Labor Day. I pointed out that it was a holiday and he confirmed they would be working that day.

    Weeks later (one week before my move) Jay called back to cancel my appointment due to it being Labor Day. Now they only have availability for September 9th. So now I have to go a week without WiFi. To top it off, I inquired about how I would be billed and if I could sign up for paperless billing. Jay’s response was that they don’t sign customers up for that who do not bundle and that I could do it myself. How ridiculous. Horrible experience and if the new apartment did not require us to use AT&T I absolutely would not!

However, my Line Access fee increased $25 per line for 24 months without me being told which ultimately make the total price of the phone 150% of what I would have paid purchasing it at full retail price.

    I am writing this to warn people about the buy one get one free promotion (BOGO). I needed a new phone and a new line. As this store is conveniently located, I stopped in and was sold on a BOGO deal. A BOGO deal consists of adding a new line, adding two phones and putting both of those phones on their payment plan. Thus, I added two phones, a new line and even put those phones on the required payment plans. However, in the process of setting it up the store had to start over and cancel the order once before placing it again. Unbeknownst to me, that error invalidated my BOGO. I had gone on to meet the requirements that day and was told that I would start to see a credit for the free phone within two to six months, but I didn't.

    Before leaving I asked for something in writing to prove that the deal was complete. I was told that is not possible. They can show me, in writing, what the requirements for a BOGO are, but they will not, and cannot, put a successful BOGO purchase in writing. If you check today, this is still true. I checked this week to make sure. I guess this should have been my first warning.

    After six months I inquired and was told it was correct and I should be patient. After eight months I started to see that I was not going to get the promotion. The store reiterated that I had met the requirements and I should escalate to AT&T. AT&T said that it was implemented wrong by the store and I should talk to the store. The store said I should talk to the employee who was now at another location. This pointing the finger and not assisting me was done politely, but was still a major warning flag.

    After a few months of trying, I finally found the original employee. After a thorough review of my records, he agreed that I qualified for the BOGO and noted it in my official AT&T record. However, his current store was not affiliated with the previous store and he could not help me. It was up to me to return to the original store, again, and start over. This I did and was referred, once again, back to AT&T.

    AT&T let me know that because of the way the order was implemented at the store, my purchase did not qualify for a BOGO and that I should talk to the store to try to make it right. Of course, the guy at the store could not help me either. According to him, the store which bears the same name and company affiliation is now owned by a different owner and is no longer responsible for making this right.

    As a result, I do not recommend you take advantage of the buy one get one free promotion from AT&T or from this location. You cannot be sure that it will work, they will not confirm it and they will not stand behind any errors. From what I have heard, I am not the only one that has had this happen to them so please beware of deals that cannot be confirmed at time of purchase.

I was told that I would have to return the unwanted device in order to receive the correct device within fourteen days. Well there's the problem I would not be at the incorrect ship to address within fourteen days and was told, "Tough that's your problem." So a device I didn't order and cannot return within the allotted time will have to be eaten by me.

    Do not go with AT&T or you'll regret it. I moved overseas this summer on military orders and cancelled my phone service with AT&T when I got here. Not only was unlocking my SIM card a pain in the ** but they also overcharged me. My service should've been cancelled for over a month now as I told them to cancel it back in July and I had paid off the remainder of my bill like they said I had to and so they said they cancelled it. Then a week ago I got another bill from AT&T. They never mentioned any other payments when I talked to them about ending my service with them. I was pissed obviously and tried calling customer service. After countless attempts of trying to get ahold of an actual representative someone answered the phone and then transferred me to someone else who could "help me". I waited for about 5 minutes on hold and then AT&T ended my call, probably because they know they owe me money and don't want to give it back.

    Then I find out that I was being charged by my new company for calling the "free" AT&T customer service number because AT&T makes it sound like you can call them for free but in tiny print says that you still have to have service with them for it to be free. So then I try live chatting with them on my computer so I'm not charged by my phone company and I still want my money back that AT&T took from me without explanation. Not only am I not able to access my account from another country but the live chat also does not work. So it looks like AT&T won. They charged me a bill without any explanation and will get to keep that money as there's no way to contact them and they also robbed me because their customer service number is not free and cost me about $25 to call them and then for THEM to hang up on me!

I called customer service to confirm, and they said, "Yes, you can return it to a store." In fact they advise people to because they've been having issues when people ship it back. I go to the At&t store that told me I could return it there the next day, and am told again they can't take it back.

    I told him the website clearly states I can return it here. He went in the back to ask a manager, who said they would only take it back if I activated the new phone????

Every single time I was told they would take the extra $110 off. Last night the employee told me she could take off $100 in a few hours, but I would still have to pay $10. I spoke with her at 4pm, at 11pm nothing had been changed. I was forced to pay the $110 or have my service suspended when I woke up (cellular phone is my only phone, can't have it shut off).

    The 4 previous times I was told the bill was so much higher due to the tablet line, which made no sense. The lady I spoke with last night figured out that the reason it had been so high was because instead of cancelling my old plan when I had been set up with a new plan, they charged me for both, on one cell phone. This is why I say they are scamming people. I get to call about this for the 6th time on Monday morning, absolutely ridiculous, they make it an absolute nightmare when THEY are the ones screwing up.

    The store manager an Asian guy by the name of Paul, refused to replace a car charger branded by AT&T. It has a hanging lose wire and I told him I only had it for less than 6 month. He said because I ported my number to T-Mobile and there's nothing he can do. Because I am an external customer known that I purchased this car charger from AT&T wireless corporate store and yet he gave me a hard time and said to me, "I repeated myself over 5,000 times". What a shame. AT&T hire some uneducated manager with low customer service skill yet this guy is a manager here? He's more likely counting pay checks rather be doing his job.

    AT&T—“Just okay is not Okay!” This is currently one of the ads. What a true statement for their services these days! I had been a long time AT&T customer, I think for like 16-17 years. Wow was I slow to switch. Best thing I ever did. Last year, when I called I did not get to talk to anyone here in USA, but different country. Reading from sheet, obviously, saying “Yes I can help you” – then same ole thing and no help. I switched to Sprint (but many other carriers that offer better than AT&T) -- and cut my bill in half. Also I travel/work in East Africa, where in past if I forgot to turn off my data with AT&T, I got billed extra for that even if it was just updates. (One of my phone calls—now I don’t even have to worry with that).

    Sprint gives you free texting and data from East Africa. AT&T does not. I have my own phone there but occasionally I do need to text back using my USA phone, free now. Also if I do call from there, charge is like 25 cents a minute with Sprint. AT&T even with International plan was a between $1 to $2. Crazy. There are other carriers that also give you free texting and data and some calls. Many of you are probably like me, long time customers had with my iPhone, and just don’t want to switch. Open your eyes. Finally I got wise and switched. When there was a problem with my bill in the past at AT&T, I could call and actually talk to someone in the USA. Now they ‘outsource’ everything. No luck talking to someone from USA. They should spend some of their Advertising budget on hiring local service people.

    Second problem was that they took over “DIRECTV”. When it started it was okay. But then they increased (doubled) what they were charging me. First year it happened I called and they gave a reduced plan (talked to someone in USA). Now they do same thing, outsource to other countries, can’t talk to someone in USA. Only when we got to point of dropping did they switch us to actually someone in USA. Too late, we switched. Cut my TV bill in half by going with Dish. Have this price for two years. They may go up after that but I will just drop. With all the other options, makes no sense to pay so much.

    Third problem, they sent me flyer back in 2018, offering fast DSL Internet service. I applied. Imagine my shock when I received a dial up package in mail and I would have to install myself. I called same day, told them I didn’t want that. They gave me instructions for returning. I did, same day. But then kept getting bills for one-month installation and service. I called to explain, I never used and sent back same day as I received. Person I talked to said they would take care of it and note it. I guess their note was to put me down for non-payment. Then quit billing me for it. I thought over, right? Wrong. Now I get notice from collection agency for that $64.60. Imagine.

    AT&T—“Not only just okay—but the worst”. I hope those of you who are still customers will open your eyes as I did. Much better options out there. I am not pushing any other carriers, just check them out. Worst customer service. I saw a rating where they were rated 14/20 on Customer service. Not sure whom they talked to—people who have no issues and are okay paying too much for phone service. Hope this helps others.

    I experience with AT&T was decent until I added a line and upgraded a couple of phones back in early 2017. Through their "buy back" program, we were supposed to receive up to $600 to buy us out of a Sprint contract (we only owed $207). I never received credit in any form. No check, no gift card, no account credit, and they never even sent my phone back to me. Any of these would have been fine. Now that I have the two iPhone X's paid off, they are losing my business - I do hold a grudge when it comes to a company this size screwing a middle class guy out of a mere couple hundred bucks. I have two lines moved to another carrier (for half the price). So far the new carrier has been great, so I'm moving the other three lines.

    Now AT&T won't unlock the last phone that is costing more than 3X what it will once it's moved. They say up to 48 hours, but it's been 5 days and it's still locked. They unlocked the first one in just a few hours, and I ordered a new phone with the new carrier for another, but they won't get this last one unlocked. Supervisors have done nothing to get this done (if I find one that can string a sentence together). I've wasted hours on the phone trying to get this resolved; they tell me my IMEI # doesn't match the device (untrue, don't know what they are looking at), I've had three dropped calls with them in as many days as well.

    I've been calm talking to them and verifying that I don't owe money on any device and my bill has always been current (auto pay and paperless billing). I've been with them for 8 years, but since they ripped me off on that 6s I vowed to pay off my new phones and deep six them. I will never give them business for wireless, TV, Internet or anything else. AT&T has gone to hell in the past few years; I'm sure management is living large, but customers are suffering for it. I only wish I could give these thieving ** a more negative rating. Do they not realize that they are in a service oriented industry?! Hence the term wireless SERVICE.

    Please use this review as a caution for anyone thinking about this cell phone provider. I've been a loyal customer for over five years, and the last year has been the worse. Don't let them sweet talk you, because everyone loves a new customer. They don't give a crap about you once you sign your life away with them. I'm actually about to drop them, deal with the charges in my own way, and switch to Verizon or Sprint. I've had multiple issues, but here's the latest.

    I had an iPhone with two year plan expire. Meaning it was time to shop the deals and get a new phone. I called the 611, which is their customer service fishing for information. To summarize this part. The very nice lady, who spoke really good English explained to me that I should cancel my line, add two lines (wanted to add a friend), and take advantage of a buy one get one offer. She confirmed twice that this was the best route and my account was good to go for it. I followed her advice, and added two line on the website using the BOGO deal. "Yay" I thought!! Then this happened.

    About a week later, once I set up my new phone and gave out my number. I called 611 again to cancel my old line. That's when it all went down hill. I discovered after being redirected four times that I wasn't getting this promotion and had to pay full price for both phones. They explained to me that I wasn't an unlimited member, so I didn't qualify for the deals. Well I explained that they told me to do it, and confirmed on a recorded phone call that I was good to go, so fix it.

    After being passed around for 2 hours and twenty-six minutes I received this solution. We need to add to new lines to the account with the deal. Then we will send you two new phones (The same models), then use those phones and new numbers. After that mail back the two phones you just got and we will remove the lines at no charge to fix the promotion. I explained that one, I just set up my new number with my work, friends, and family, so not cool. Then I wondered why I must mail back two phones to just receive the same models back a week later. It just didn't make sense. I was told their network wouldn't allow them any other way. Now keep in mind I'm struggling on the phone because I'm basically calling the Middle East each time I call 611. Also, there is no store in the US that can help you.

    Did you know that AT&T stores will happily sell you anything you want, add any amount of lines, and even help you sign a contract. GOD FORGIVE you ask them to remove, fix, or alter a plan. That can only happen by calling 611. AT&T also likes to pass you around and for some unknown reason (cough cough) always have long wait times. I wonder why!?! This is just one issue out of about four minor ones and six major ones. But hey, if you like being double charged, number changed without permission, dealing with customer support from a place you never want to go, or enjoy losing all faith in people. Then AT&T is for you.

My next bill was $200 higher so I went back and saw salesgirl who said she fixed it. Next month another $200 higher bill. I called ATT they said that my unlimited service could be changed and my bill would go down to the $44 increase I was quoted. They changed my service to a crappier one and of course my bill is still $200 a month higher.

    I went back and saw store manager and her and they said “we’re sorry, she misquoted you the price. Enjoy your $200 higher bill." NEVER USE THIS CRIMINAL COMPANY. As soon my contract is out I will never give this scummy network of grafters another dime. BEWARE.

    Upon the request that they cancel the unauthorized phone line they keep telling me the credit will take place in one to two months. Now I know why Xfinity is getting so uppity.

    I have had these phone lines for a year and a half now, paid EVERY single bill on time and in full, EVERY single one. What do I get in return? Stupidity and straight up REFUSAL to make ANYTHING right. I am shaking and in tears because of how positively INFURIATED I am. It's bad enough their internet is a monumental joke, that which we've had to contact the FCC about- why in God's green earth we went to these imbeciles for wireless service is beyond me. For some reason we thought their wireless service would be better? HA. HAHAHAHAHA. It is somehow worse.

    It started with my boyfriend and I leaving a different AT&T account to get on our own. We brought an Apple Watch over that was 100% paid for and got 2 phones. That was in March 2018. In November 2018 we went to the AT&T store near our house and purchased a bluetooth headset and a speaker. The store clerk ASKED US which lines were phones and which lines were accessories. We told them which lines were the 2 phones. It is now August 2019- been paying everything faithfully and on time. We decide that, since we're not using the watch, we'll disconnect the watch line. Simple, right? WRONG. I get hit with a charge on my bill and upon contacting them about it I am basically laughed at.

    Apparently when we told the store clerk which lines were phone lines, the idiot didn't care and attached the accessory payments to the watch. So when I disconnected the line, they told me that the remaining balance on the accessories was due. If we do not pay them this month, we will incur a late fee, even if I make a payment arrangement. Um? On what planet is this ok? Ever? They messed up my bill, I have to pay extra which is over my budget, and then when I try to make payment arrangements due to AT&T's mistake, they hit me with a late fee? Then I ask if they can just make some kind of arrangement where they credit me this month and charge me next month. Nope.

    I go into an AT&T store and I'm asked "well you DID receive the accessory items, did you not?" I made it clear that I wasn't asking for anything for free (and I didn't appreciate being made to look like I was), I was simply asking them to delay the payment without penalizing me. Nope. I was then told that, well, I COULD just reinstate the watch line and the payments would go back. WOW. So they CAN help me by reinstating the payments and simply refuse to do so without me having to reconnect a line. Slimy. Disgusting. Furthermore, every pathetic "solution" that these people have offered only screws ME over in one way or another, but they just can NOT seem to waive a tiny little late fee? Are you kidding me? This service is sub par at best for nearly $250 a month and this is how I'm treated?? Whatever. My boyfriend and I are willing to take our very steady and perfect and payments elsewhere and stick it to AT&T. Hope it was worth it.

    I don’t often take the time to write reviews for companies since it seems a waste of time, but I had to in this case with AT&T “overall”! I “had” been a customer for AT&T since the 1990’s (at least) and did not have much interaction with customer service or sales until June ’19 when I wanted to upgrade my phones. AT&T had a promotion where I could buy one phone and get one free (BOGO). Being a very loyal customer and not having any product issues, I decided to upgrade by contacting the customer service number and taking advantage of the offer.

    I spent about 1hr on the phone with Zachery who “convinced me he knew what he was doing” (big mistake). He stated I could take advantage of the offer although I need to add a new line with a new phone. I already had 4 lines with AT&T and did not need a 5th but, he convinced me I could cancel one of the lines and transfer that number/SIM card to the new phone in turn cancelling the new line. Well, he was TOTALLY WRONG/MISINFORMED! After I learned I could not cancel that line/phone-number I decided I was going to cancel all my AT&T services.

    To make a long story short, It’s been over one and half months and they still have that line in my account and charging me for it! I spent one hour and 45 minutes with a representative from the Loyalty Department today (August 2nd 2019) trying to get $95 back since they had my automatic billing information enabled and kept charging me for a product I did not have. I’m very happy I left AT&T and am with the big ‘V’ for now.

    Customers of ATT, Please check your bills. I was oversold insurance on a line that doesn't exist. When I finally realized I contacted ATT and was told that because I didn't notice their mistake sooner I am not entitled to any of my money back. I explained that while I was in store the associate sold the insurance deemed as 'Multi Pack" to cover my three lines. The associate did not cancel the insurance on one of my lines resulting in overcharges. Seems like an honest mistake. I brought this to AT&T's attention and was told that even though I was paying for insurance on 6 lines (I only have 5) I could have noticed sooner and cancelled but I chose to keep paying.

    They refused to refund any money for the insurance product I am paying for. I have never been so disappointed at a level of customer service by a company I have worked with. They are capitalizing on the fact that customers won't realize they are being overcharged and when they do they tell the customer that it is our fault because we didn't notice the mistake sooner. Check your insurance charges and realize that this company does not believe in doing the right thing and will make sure extra products are added and bank on the customer not realizing until after they have collected your money.

    I was an AT&T customer for years, now I only have an AT&T prepaid phone. All those years I had an email with them for 20 years. When I retired and went to the prepaid phone, I am apparently not considered an AT&T customer, so they took away my logon to my email address, without any warning (one day it worked and then it did not). When I called them they smugly told me I was no longer an AT&T customer so I could not access it nor can I delete it. It just sits there collecting emails, because it does not let anyone know that it is no longer a usable email address.

    I have spent countless hours on the phone with AT&T drones, which takes frustrating to the highest levels. I have even gone to the local AT&T stores, where they told me that what the reps said are not true and that cannot help with this issue. To this day, I CANNOT find anyone at AT&T willing to help me delete this email address. If you do not want to sign up for one of their expensive data/internet packages, then they want nothing to do with you. This has to be the worst company to deal with. Sorry I ever gave them my business.

    I have been a loyal customer for 10 years with myTV, Internet, and Telephone services with them. They have a loyalty customer 800 line, which means you have the privilege of speaking to an English speaking person. The first few years there were a lot of technical problems, but that seems to have leveled out. In the last several years I have had numerous billing problems. They have their so-called promotions which you have to ask for, rather than letting you know in advance about them. When the promotion runs out (normally in 12 months), they just raise your bill accordingly.

    I don’t think I have ever gone over 3 months without a change in my billing. I am finally in the process of considering other options. It makes me look stupid for waiting this long, but better late than never. I am 80 years old, and I have never dealt with a more customer unfriendly company in my lifetime. Sorry folks, but I’m afraid it’s the sign of the times. Marketing this day and age is all about, "let’s see how many ways we can get to the customer."

    On May 25 2019 I spoke with customer service about disconnecting my DirecTV account. Julious talked with me about my wireless service and I was with Verizon at the time. He said he could give me $200 per line, buy one get one free iPhone XR and in two to three months I would get a $800 credit. I took the deal and it was the worst mistake I ever made with AT&T. I have made 12 phone calls to AT&T within a month. I would call trying to get my $200 per line credit to help pay Verizon for my remaining bill of $631. Each time I called I would get one lie after another. First I was told I would be getting a check with my first bill, never happened. Then I was told I had to call AT&T Switch to get my $200 per line credit and this was for 4 lines so $800. AT&T apparently come to your house to sale cell phone service. That was what the switch was for and they said I did not qualify.

    After 6 more calls each with a different story to why I could not get my credit... I talked to the loyalty department which they informed me I could not get my $200 credit per phone because it was only offered to AT&T home switch customers and not over the phone. Which Julious told me on the phone I would get plus he put his supervisor on the phone on May 25 to go over what I would get if I switched to AT&T. When I got my first bill it was for $512 which is outrageous but they did give me a $600 credit on my first bill which I was promised $800 credit in two to three months. AT&T to this day will not give me my $200 per line credit. Now I am making payments to Verizon for the $631 bill I was going to pay with the phone credits. Make sure you never switch services over the phone because they do not live up to their promises. Plus one customer service tech told me he would give me a $300 per phone credit if I turned in more phones.

    I had just had foot surgery and was not even supposed to be driving yet. I searched the house and found 2 phones and was so happy because that would make my $600 to pay off Verizon. I had to take the phones to a AT&T store. Well first store said they were just a retail store and could not help me with a credit on the phones. They said I would need to go to a Corporate store. So here I go to the corporate store and turned in the phones on crutches because of my surgery. Then I called AT&T to see how to get my credits after going out on crutches and driving after surgery and they told me I would not get any credits at all. I even talked to the loyalty supervisor. She apologized but I was in tears by then. I was so mad and frustrated. Now I talked to my attorney and am going to do a Arbitration to get this mess worked out. Good Luck to you with AT&T.

    I needed a new phone so I went to the store to upgrade. I asked if there were any special deals. Upgrade my phone. I was told, "no," that the deals are for new customers unless I want to add a line that they want new business and that my 20 plus years with them don't mean much. So I called to tell them about the experience and they looked up my account and realized I was a great customer for over 20 years and offered me the new customer discount on a phone and would waive the upgrade fee and let me keep my plan at the same price.

    The next day I get a email of my next bill. Not only did they not give me the discount on the phone they changed my plan to be 20 dollars more a month. So again I called to tell them to keep their phone and put my rate back. I was told the phone was on the way but could ship it back and that my rate will go back to what it was. The next day I get a new email. They kept the full price phone on, changed my rate to be 40 dollars higher and charged me a 30 dollar activation charge. You have the worst customer service ever.

    My wife talked to them about adding a new line for her grandmother. The lady said they had promotions for S9 at the time and she wanted the note 8 like us because it was big enough for her to see. Well the lady then said, “Let me look.” Came back on and said she found one and we got at regular price. After 3 months the price would go from 900 something down to 150 for 5 a month until paid off. We had 14 days to turn on or return and I wanted to return because I didn't think she could pay it and it would fall on us. Well we had it too long and AT&T turned it on for us because it went past 14 days. Well 3 months came and it was never lowered to that price and she called. They told her there was no such deal and that I couldn't return or end because we already accepted the terms we didn't we were lied to and then told nothing they could do, they wouldn't honor a deal they never had.

    I said go back to the recordings and listen to them my wife asked many times if it would go to 150 and the lady selling it said it would. Complained to someone else and the lady wouldn't let me talk to somebody else because she was mad and said there was nobody above her that could help and she would have to listen to the recording. She never got back to us. We have been paying 330 a month because we have been stuck with such a bill. Yes we have unlimited as our plan. My husband was a truck driver and used data a lot. But with the extra phone and and him changing jobs in June it’s been very hard. Well they turned us off today and say we owe them 641 and some change to turn them on. I don't think it’s right what we have been through and pay on our arrangement days and they claim they can’t help us.

    I’m a truck driver and she is a stay home mom with only our cells to make calls for work on children needs. We really can’t go without these phones for even 1 day. Now they have added another 330 to our bill and say that we can’t have our phones back until we pay 641. They also sent us a letter that they are going to cancel our service completely if we don't pay it. Which isn't fair do to us trying to pay 400 and they wouldn't even give us a chance to try a talk and work it out. How do I add this to my account? My husband needs his phone back so he can call when he is on the road or if something happens. I don't feel as if at&t is really wanting to be that great company that they use to be. This is the first time I have had so much trouble with a phone company. I hope that you take great notes of what is said between you and the workers because they didn't want to comply and help us. Instead it’s going to hurt his credit worse than us just being late.

Been a customer for over 20 years and the response I got was, "I can show you other data plans that aren't unlimited."

You have 14 days to return the phone if unhappy but you don’t get your bill - and subsequent charges for 30 days? They are not consistent. If one rep tells you something it better be in the notes (they promised a price so I added the second line and phone) when I get my bill 30 days later and it’s wrong they can’t do anything about it 'cause the rep didn’t properly note the account--how is this retention.

So, I completely paid off device and raised unlock request 72 hours after full device payment. ATT approved my unlock request in 24 hours. After verification with a T-Mobile SIM card, it is not working as expected and so checked back with ATT customer care. After staying on line for close to 19 minutes, customer service agent comes up and recommends to open a case (I can provide case details as well). There was supposed to be a response on that case in 24 hours, whereas we received a response in 72 hours (fine). Upon verification again, it was wrong and we have to contact customer care again.

    This process repeated again for third time again (wasted 10 days so far), wherein the new Customer Service agent claims that other two agents did mistake when opening up a case for unlocking. Now, agent opened a case again for 4th time and I'm still waiting on unlocking the device which was paid off almost more than 3 weeks ago. To me, unlocking a device must not take more than 5 to 10 minutes whereas due to their internal screwed up processes, ATT is causing such a hassle to its customers. And on top of it, their screwed up automated system would not connect to customer care by dialing "0". I wish ATT understands the fact that when a person hits "0" means that he really need to speak with customer care agent who can help, but not their dumb system.

    My family and I went to upgrade 3 lines of service why cell phones had been paid off yesterday. We decided that my daughter and my wife would be the only ones to get new phones because I didn’t want an increase of $130 additional dollars per month on an already expensive cell phone bill. The manager said they if canceled our current lines in a few days from home, they could open new lines of service and we could get the discounts for new customers. We would get a buy one get one free on the $700 dollar phones we had chosen. We asked "Don’t you have any loyalty rewards for current customers..." The answer was NO! We decided to do the honorable thing and submit to paying full retail, I’d keep my two year old phone for another two years and my wife and daughter would upgrade their 2 year old phones.

    Doesn’t make sense that a customer who has paid a company between $300 and $400 per month faithfully for 5 years should get NO discounts for continued service, but a stranger off the street can get discounts off 100% off on premier electronics. If you agree with my option on this treatment of loyal customers please email me **. I like to know just how many people are upset and feel discounted as a customer of AT&T. I feel it’s only fair to offer current customers better discounts on services to keep us as customers. Otherwise we all just might as well change to other carriers or take the advice of disgruntled employees. It’s not right for employees to suggest tomfoolery, trickery and deceit to get discounts for customers. This proves even AT&T employees see a flaw in the system.

    I paid off all of devices totaling approximately $2k. I now own my phone but being held hostage with the unlock process. I tried several times to go through the online process after I received a unlock message on my account for each device. I continued to get an error message at the end of the process. I called customer service and spent an hour on the phone attempting to get help. I was transferred four times and the best any could do is read the script off of their computers. I finally hung up and went to an ATT store.

    The rep there was able to get me through the process but I received an email that the data hasn’t been for forwarded to allow the unlock. So my $1200 device is still locked to the ATT network not allowing me to carry my device to another carrier. I have been an ATT customer for over 14 years and have not been under contact for most of that time. Now as a senior I have the opportunity to cut my cell phone costs in half.

A few years later I asked to have it put in my personal name, which they said they did, however a few yeas later found out they never did that, so they said they would take care of it, but never did. Because of all this mess, I cannot access my account online at all.

    I pay about 400$ a month to ATT for cell phone and DirecTV service. Went on vacation to Belize. Daughter ran up 159$ worth of roaming charges. She's our youngest and did not know she was roaming. Didn't get a warning message till the bill was over 150$. Called to get them reverse the charges. Got an overseas tech support guy who took about 30 minutes to say they would give a partial credit but I had to call another number. Called the other number, went to a confusing menu and finally got to a rep, this time in the US, he dallied around for another half-hour (including trying to sell me a new phone) (most of this time was spent waiting for their computer screens to refresh. Apparently ATT has the slowest computers in the world) and he added some notes to my account and said I had to call yet another number to get the credit.

    Called that number and he after another 30 minutes of waiting for computer screens to refresh said he couldn't give me the credit for some reason. This was my third call and over an hour on the phone. I was angry at this point and decided to move away from ATT starting by cancelling my DirecTV service which nobody at home watches anyway. He gave me a 4th number to call, "Cancellations" and I was on the line with this guy for over an hour. He kept saying that he was checking stuff and waiting for his screen to refresh. I told him ATT must have the slowest computers in the world. He said "We are having bad weather that is affecting the computers". Finally said he would cancel the DirecTV.

    Okay so, I have been a loyal AT&T customer since 2001. I normally buy my phones at retail from Best Buy to avoid contracts they had or monthly service payments on a phone. In March they had a deal of buy one get one free iPhone. As an android user I decided to give iPhone a chance because of the deal. I also prior to upgrading had an older “grandfathered” Unlimited plan that I was not willing to lose so I stressed this to the sales department who reassured me I could just add a second line for $20 plus taxes and fees per month to my existing plan. Great!

    Well the phone was shipped to the wrong address so I waited for them to get the phone back and when it came time to reship, OH! The promotion had ended. So I agreed to pay $5 per month for the antiquated iPhone. At this point I am nearing the return time frame, waited a few more days for the phone, activated it. Then I get a bill close to 200 bucks. I was expecting what they sold me my original plan 80 bucks plus 20 for the new phone and $35 for installment charges. The bill comes in hitting near $200. I have called, spent hours with rep after non concerned reps. So I have my cancellation set and will recommend that anyone I know to avoid this company. Absolutely zero customer service and zero concern for a loyal customer of over 18 years. BUYERS BEWARE.

I ended up with HUGE overages every month, my $50 bill quickly became $180+ each month and I had no way to limit or pause usage. Finally I gave up and called to cancel the service after 2 billing cycles. Then I get a bill for $100 after my service has been cancelled & I paid my final giant bill.

"Why am I suspended?" They hang up on me. I call back. "Why am I suspended?" Click. I can't call back. They shut off my phone.

    I call from my girlfriend's phone. Why am I suspended? IT fails to get basic information about my phone pulled up for 30 minutes. Tells me that they are doing a full update of my account and that they will call in an hour. I tell them I want to cancel service, and they hang up on me. I get a call back. Still no service. They deny my account ever being suspended. Tell me I need to talk to engineering because nothing is wrong. "Cancel my service. Now." "Absolutely," they say. They transfer me to a closed office.

I got a partial reimbursement after much work and irritation on my part. They didn't just want a copy of the final bill. It had to be worded a certain way. Once I got that straightened out they started sending me postcards and emails saying they were cancelling the gift cards because they didn't have the right information; this has been going on for two months.

After several months of this I returned to the store at which time I was advised Nick had moved to the High Ridge AT&T. Additionally, I was advised my bill would be $300.00 a month and I was stuck in a contract.

    I later learned I was paying $15.00 a month for HBO and I was never signed up with FirstNet. I have attempted to make contact with AT&T (Via email, phone, and Facebook) and have not received any contact back. I was later told by an AT&T employee that Nick is still a manager at the High Ridge because he makes the business money.

Some said Mexico is not covered and wanted to sell me additional coverage, some others said it was partly covered and only two said the correct thing, namely, it was fully covered to the amount of GB my plan has. I detect both a lack of training, as well as negative training specifically geared to lie, cheat and steal. AT&T is gearing to provide advanced 5G technology, and I hold significant shares in the company. I feel very irritated and disillusioned when I deal with their Customer Service Department.

When you make changes to your account, things get REAL MESSY and the call center likes to throw around the word "Pro-Rated" a lot when explaining the additional charges. AT&T alleges to record customer calls - so why can't the issues be a quick fix. I was PROMISED a discount of sorts by an agent a few months ago.

My phone bill is 211.00 per month TO INCLUDE DATA, less 68.00 DISCOUNT is 143.00. Since merging with Time Warner, AT&T has this CREATIVE billing going on.

    A couple of months ago we decided to switch over from DSL to fiber optics with AT&T. When they arrived to do the home installation, there was a cellular ATT representative accompanying the installer. I did not know why he was there because we already had cellular service with Verizon and very happy with them. Anyway, when he started to talk about AT&T InHomeSwitch (Get up to $700 in credits per line to help you switch to AT&T) he convinced me to switch over to ATT to save more money on my monthly payments and that I will get approximately $700 (comes in two phases via debit/credit card) for switching over the four lines. All I had to do was buy a new smartphone, trade a couple of our Verizon phones, etc., but overall I will end up not paying much for switching over and also benefiting from being able to pay off most of my Daughter’s iPhone who still had a $900 balance with Verizon.

    Once I get the final invoice from Verizon, the ATT representative told me to give it to him so he could process it through the InHomeSwitch program so I can get the full $700. Well, after receiving my Verizon invoice 30 days later, this ATT representative (I have his business card) was nowhere to be found. I’ve texted and called him, but no answer or response. Either he is on leave or had left the company. At any rate, I had to submit the invoice myself on ATT’s website. Fast forward a bit ---- now here’s the real scoop. I received the status of my submittal and I only qualified for a total of $266 for two lines instead of the 4 lines due to not buying new phones for the other lines. The ATT representative never said anything about that.

    So, whatever happened to this $700 for switching over? I’ve talked to a few ATT representatives via online chat/phone regarding the matter and all I got was the runaround. I just got tired of spending my precious time on the phone with them. So, I ended up paying off my Verizon bill, which totaled to $1345. And for switching over to ATT I get $266 as reimbursement, but I have to wait for 8 to 10 weeks to receive it. However, I did get a savings of $10 per month with ATT vs Verizon – BIG ** DEAL! And their cellular service is not as great as Verizon. Here I thought I was saving more money. My family was surprised and disappointed that I did the switch over knowing that ATT service is not as good.

    Now, I have no leg to stand on about saving money with ATT. Once the dust settles, we plan to move back Verizon in due time. Bottom line? The ATT rep used a false advertisement to get me to switch over. And that the fact I never invited him to my home to sell me cellular service gets me. He just showed up with the ATT fiber optics installer. So, people be wary. If you plan to install a LAN line, DSL or fiber optics with ATT, be wary of an ATT cellular service reps who may stop by uninvited to sell you their switch over program. Don't do it if you are already happy with your current service.

    Where do I start... I've been with ATT for 1 year 3 months now. I have cell service and DirecTV which is merged with AT&T now apparently. Let's start with the cell service first.. All was peachy when I first started service. I paid $140 a month for just 1 line which I thought was pricey but it is what it is. Fast forward 1 year and I add my girlfriend to my plan and add a 3rd line for my son. The lady I talked to the first time I just wanted to ask questions about pricing and such and then talk to my girlfriend about it. She was very persistent and told me I needed to act on this now and change everything over... I have call recorder enabled on my phone and went back and listened to it. She quoted me a price that was $40 dollars cheaper than what I'm forced to pay now.

    I asked 3 times if I could keep my mobile hot spot and she said yes all 3 times. Nope I no longer have mobile hotspot but I can get it if I pay 30 more a month for premium service. I just received a text message saying I just lost Cinemax as well... I called back the next day pissed and wanted to cancel. They were more than happy to send me to royalty to cancel. The payment for me to cancel is $1,000 and some change they are even wanting me to pay $500 for an iPhone 6s that is coming in the mail for my son that I havent even received yet. This company is unprofessional and feeds you lies to get your card number then wham!!!! Then when your bill is 50 dollars more they explain everything to you after the fact.... Will be cancelling within the week after I go to Verizon and lock in my number so I dont lose it.

    Now onto the DirecTV/AT&T ** had DirecTV for a little over a year. I get the bundle discount so I only pay $27 a month. Well I just moved and went to have them transfer service to new location.. big mistake. I set appointment for transfer and she informs me it will be 350 dollars for my next bill because it's 200 for transfer fee...$100 for guy to come out and put up dish and 50 for taxes and my regular 27 dollar bill.

    At first I said no nevermind then I was like what the heck it's only 27 a month for cable. Fast forward to day DirecTV shows up.. I wanted to simply transfer service and add 1 box downstairs. The technician said "they only have you down for 1 box.. To add 1 like you are wanting you will have to call after I get done here and have them add it to account so I can come back out and install." This pissed me off. I said "you can't walk out 40 feet to your truck and pull it out and install?" He said "if you want to try you can call now and have them release one but it probably won't work." I said "I stated in my original call for this that I wanted to add a box, she even repeated it back to me in the conversation." So long story short he couldnt hook cable up anyway because the location of our house, so goodbye DirecTV/AT&T. Losing a loyal 1 year customer that was gonna pay $3000 a year between both services.

    If you are planning to have Wireless service with AT&T, be very careful that you might not get the right help with their customer service representative, they lack knowledge of their own product and everyone has their own understanding which results a tons of follow up call with no results. Also you need to have your own notes of when what service is activated with a reference number because you will have to bear the pain of proving that. I will tell my experience.

    I am with AT&T for almost 3 years and during this time whenever I called I asked them to make sure international call blocking feature is enabled with agreed understanding that ATT will not allow any outgoing international call if by mistake it is dialed. I use Unovon for international calling so for frequent calling contacts I have saved 2 numbers, one international number and second Unovon provided local number. Since international call blocking is enabled I was rest assured that by mistake of international number is dialed then ATT will block it but that's not true. When issue occurs every ATT customer representative has their own understanding. Well my wife accidentally called international number instead of Unovon provided local number and more than $200 charges on my bill, I called customer care asking why this bill, I was told because of international call, understood.

    My point was why ATT allowed international call if a feature is active which should not allow international call. First answer was it's not active. Well I asked them to check history and all the notes where I asked them to enable this feature. After 20-30 min of their research they found that yes this feature was enabled in past but then without my knowledge it was deactivated. They agreed and added credit back and enabled feature again assuring ATT will not allow international call. All good.

    This happened again and now the pain started. This time different customer service representative and his understanding is no matter what call went through ATT so have to pay. The worst part was this guy had such a poor knowledge that he mentioned even if I make a call through Whatsapp or FB messenger it will be charged as if I am using this service first time and never seen in my entire life. Wow. What a champ representative. Now his suggestion was to enable a world connect feature for $15 a month which he can enable from back date which will take care of my existing call charges. Well with arguments I agreed to pay $15 dollar to get rid of $300 international call charges.

    Next month bill surprised me. It was total of $546. I called them for the reason and answer is same that I called international number and I have to pay. This time the representative told me world connect can not be activated on back date so I have to pay. I argued why the last person enabled it promising he will do it on back date to take care of the charges. After an hour of discussion and checking historical notes they agreed to create a case for this. Now I had multiple followup calls and the last call when I asked why international call was allowed when blocking feature was enabled, person strictly denied that this feature was ever enabled since I have this connection. Awesome.

    Now they have only one thing, "Sir you have to pay the full amount." Since I bought phone in contract I can't go out and I will have to pay a big $1400 amount, almost $900 additional for an iPhone 8 with so many contract breaking charges, they are aware about it and so I have no way out. Finally I had to pay $546 for a month bill. Friends I wouldn’t suggest to ever switch to AT&T as their customer service is worst. You will end up hours of call explaining and proving about their own feature. Also think millions time before buying contract phone because this gives them opportunity to deny anything because they know that you can't leave them.

    These guys are horrible. I called in to dispute extra charges on a bill after paying the amount due. During the process they try to have me set up a payment plan for extra money which I denied. After successfully paying the bill, I called in to dispute the extra charges. Now the rep gives me a totally different amount from the automated system. He even stated "I work here and I wouldn't pay this much for phone service. I don't have their service". I ask to speak with a manager who spoke over me and got mad when I told her to stop speaking and let me talk. EXTRA CHARGES. DROP CALLS. RUDE MANAGERS. AFTER 5 YEARS OF SERVICE....I THINK NOT!!!

    You have earned yourselves a solid place in the top three worst companies I’ve ever done business with. Here’s why:

    - Your sales associates tack additional services onto customer’s bills in order to increase commission. They do this without approval from customers - which is unethical and illegal. Your associates don’t do coverage checks, don’t disclose promotions, and don’t have any sense of due diligence past earning their commission checks for sales.

    - You ignore network issues and “no service” areas for wireless. You lie about coverage and do not hold yourselves accountable for your services - wireless, DirecTV, etc.

    - You put absolutely no money into your online systems and services. AutoPay has worked fine for our account for two months, nothing has changed. This month you take less than the amount remaining on the bill even though AutoPay is turned on and you have the correct bank info. You don’t advise us it’s past due. All so you can charge us a late fee to squeeze more money out of us.

    - Your customer service is the absolute worst I’ve experienced in my life. You ignore customers who have real world issues. You offer avenues of customer “care” via Twitter, Facebook, and phone/chat, but none of it actually works. You outsource 90% of your customer service, even though you’ve received TAX BREAKS so that you can “afford” to bring those jobs back to the United States. Your employees are unprofessional, they lie, and they do not follow through on anything. You’re more likely to get placed on indefinite hold, transferred around numerous times, or hung up on than you are to receive any kind of actual assistance.

    - You charge exorbitant fees - $35 per line for LINE ACCESS? Did you know that not a single one of your representatives can even explain what that fee is? AT&T says it’s for access to the service, but then what exactly is the cost of the plan covering? It is nothing but extra money in the bank for you - just because you can.

    The sad part is that you could care less about all of this, because you pay whichever government officials you need, however much you need, in order to stay on top of the food chain and relevant. Your company is disgusting, unethical, and not worthy of anyone’s business.

    Do not, I repeat DO NOT sign up for AT&T. This company does not honor payment arrangements which is a breach of contract. It even states on their site that you can make payment arrangements to avoid service disruption (I have the screenshots that for all to see). After our service was shut off several days before we were supposed to pay I spent what seemed like an eternity spoke to 4 customer service reps who all told me different things. One said we were not supposed to be disconnected and he "didn't understand why we were". Another and the final customer service rep lady told me that "making payment arrangements does not guarantee your service won't be disrupted and that anyone who says it won't be is lying to or misleading us". Unbelievable!

    This is the 4th time in a row AT&T has screwed up big time and two of the times it happened in one month. Oh, and when our phones were reconnected mine had no service and we had to get a new sim. Then, my husband's phone quit working after mine started working. They deactivated his sim instead of mine. We spent literally all day dealing with this BS. I have contacted corporate, customer service, etc. and all they will do is waive reconnect fees that were weren't supposed to have to begin with and a measly 30 dollar credit. I think THE VERY LEAST they could do is give us a free month for all the many inconveniences. This company has zero integrity and does not value their customers.

    I am considering filing a class action lawsuit. I am sure we aren't the only people that this has happened to after reading reviews on this site. It states right there on their site about "making payment arrangements to avoid disruption". That's breach of contract. We have a we are looking into different options for a new provider now. Spending almost 400 bucks a month, we should be valued.

    Galaxy S9 = Great phone, just wish I wasn't SCAMMED into getting it! I was told by an "AT&T account manager" named Simon ** that had come into my home with the installation tech when I signed up for cable and internet. He said the phone would be a free promotion if I switched my cellphone carrier to AT&T as well. NOPE turns out I was signed up for installment payments for the next 30 months to pay off the $800 phone. -_- Tried to contact Simon numerous times = No response. Tried to contact customer service (spoke with FIVE different agents) = No help! Final agent was super hard to understand and stated that the Galaxy S9 was never a promotional phone in January when I sign up. :/ And there was nothing he could do.

    I asked if I could return the phone to an AT&T store because I would not have choose it if it wasn't for FREE as I was told. He stated, "Sure you can turn it in and request one of the phones that were on promotion in January." (Of course he would happily pass my issue off to someone else who prolly ALSO wouldn't help me in the way I needed) SO based off all the runaround they've made me do thus far and all the BS I've already read from others' reviews. I don't think it's safe for me to come face to face with an AT&T rep because it would not be pretty. Now I see them ALL as the bad guys, scamming innocent people and increasing prices whenever they can for services/promotion that they do not stand by.

    My cellphone works fine (which I'm sure will be a different story when it's time to upgrade) but my internet disconnect frequently and my cable seems to have a far less channels than I was told and DVR goes on the fritz at least once a month not recording my usual shows.

    AT&T lied to hook me in. The pitch that was thrown seemed amazing and almost too good to be true for the money. After a hard credit check and what I found out later were simply lots of lies. Day of install comes. The AT&T employee arrives, installers. He told me the truth as to what I'd really be getting in place of my existing service. The installer showed me his credentials as I asked him to do. He explained that he had been an employee for AT&T for over 10 years and still going. We began talking about the service and initially he was building the service up. Talking about how happy we would be with AT&T. He then started explaining everything he would be doing that day. Somehow our conversations took a different turn and we began talking about our families and current lives.

    Once he learned I was a single grandfather raising two grandchildren, he just stopped what he was doing and stood in silence for a moment. He then spoke out and said, "I just can't do this to you. You're too nice of a guy." He then began telling me that if I switched carriers I would be trading in a Lamborghini for a Ford explorer. A used Ford Explorer with over 200 thousand miles as he put it. He explained to me how and why I would not like AT&T over my current carrier. And how AT&T was nothing more than a middle man company. A contractor. He showed exactly how AT&T robs people. And how what I had was 10x better than what I was about to take on. I had been told I would be receiving twice as much for the same amount of money I was currently spending with my current carrier.

    He showed me that my internet speed was going to be cut by over half. And how many of the channels I was told I'd be getting were duplicates simply labeled differently to give the appearance of more. Then he went into all the hidden fees I had to look forward to. I was in shock. But he had it all there in black and white. He was simply kind enough to point it out to me before I made a big mistake. I thank him so much for coming clean about everything. I chose not to switch needless to say.

    However, when I called AT&T to request a retraction be made to the credit bureau because I had been misled, I was told they would not do it. And regardless I had agreed to the credit check. I then explained. I never would have agreed to a credit check if I had of been told the truth from the start. The AT&T supervisor then said. And I quote, "If we explained our services to all our potential customers the way it was explained to you, we would be out of business." He then continued on to say, "I can't help you. Goodbye."

They cancelled my order and sent me a text that I had to come in and prove identity. Due to that, my purchase was considered "in-store" instead of "online" so I now can't get the Visa card.

    AT&T Review: I am giving AT&T a negative rating, which, in my opinion, is still much too high! This is a constructive review hoping to save AT&T tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits. It addresses the failure of AT&T in providing help to potentially stranded individuals when their cell phone service is disconnected for non-payment. I have been with AT&T for over 60 years and with their cell service for over 10 years.

    The other day I was mistakenly disconnected from my phone service because of a non payment. Even though the payment wasn’t due yet. This happened not only once, but twice when I was disconnected within a week. The second time I was disconnected for over 2 1/2 hours before they could even turn me on. Which meant that I could not use my phone to do my business, talk to my employees, my clients or do any work. BUT that is not my issue, because with electronics and technology constantly changing, these things can happen.

    Here is the “ISSUE” and why it is so IMPORTANT!!!! WHEN you are DISCONNECTED from AT&T for any non-payment circumstances, YOU CANNOT SPEAK to anyone at AT&T from your phone until you PAY your bill first. Why is this SO CRITICAL & DANGEROUS? Suppose you may be stranded in a remote area, HOURS from any computer or telephone, and you cannot get help except for a 911 emergency. We all should be able to call into the AT&T billing office from our phone and have a discussion. Other mobile services provide this, and that’s why I am changing to another provider that will give me what I consider to be an essential part of my service and great coverage as well.

    I paid my bill in full the first time when I was inadvertently disconnected. If I had been able to talk to someone, this error would have been rectified immediately. After paying my bill in full and speaking to an agent, my money was immediately put back into my bank account and I was told there would be no restoration fee. However this refund caused the computer to register it as a returned payment so it disconnected me again 2 days later. Since I could not use my phone to connect to the billing office, I went to my local AT&T store and waited 30 minutes for them to open. Then it took over 2 hours before they could reconnect me. I could not use my telephone to run my business. Again I was told they would waive the restoration fee.

    When I received my new bill there were two restoration charges. When I called customer service to tell them it was a mistake, I was told they had no written information in their computer or voice recording pertaining to any conversation regarding any refunds. So as a courtesy they could only give me one refund back? So I got screwed out of $35. My problems with AT&T did not end there. My DirecTV service was disconnected because a payment was posted to the wrong account and it took four days until it was posted to the correct account. When I called DirecTV they were perfectly aware that the payment was made, but they could not turn me on until it was posted to the correct account.

    So I left DirecTV and immediately signed with another company. And I am much happier now. More channels for my buck and much better customer service. I just don’t believe in extortion tactics to bully a subscriber, or anyone, for payment. Especially when it wasn’t due.... The user is left stranded (if no computer or other telephone is available) with the possibility of not being able to do anything about it! I had to borrow the phone at my local AT&T store to conduct my business while waiting for my phone to be turned back on.

    I am concerned for others becoming stranded somewhere when their phone gets disconnected, and they cannot get help or talk to anybody from their phone. They may be miles or hours away from the nearest computer or telephone! I consider this gross negligence because AT&T is aware of this issue and does not want to change its policy. One day somebody is going to be injured and will file a legal action. I believe this is a serious safety issue for AT&T. And I think that any judge or jury would look at this as gross negligence. So I hope AT&T changes its policy to prevent that from happening, for the sake of their subscribers' well being.

I contacted the office of Mr. Stephenson, the president of AT&T. They offered me a $25 credit for my trouble and nothing else.

    This shows the poor training and customer service given by AT&T to its customers. You would think that someone who has 10 lines of service with AT&T would be shown a little respect and given adequate customer service. Apparently not. I added the line on another carrier. I will have future lines to add and I can assure you that they will not be on AT&T. I am now looking at transferring the 10 AT&T lines I have to another carrier.

I terminated that agreement prematurely. I received an e-mail stating that since we terminated the agreement after the billing cycle had started they would charge the whole month though the account was cancelled. I paid and shortly after they charged more for the cable part of the deal. The total paid was $658.94.

    Never in my life have I experienced anything like this. Trying to get answers for the charges was nearly impossible as my telephone calls were directed to different departments that had no answers for my questions.

Activation and getting a card for bringing your own phone is outrageous, but we let the first $350 bill slide. However, the next bill came and was around the same, so I started investigating. Again, I was told that these were start up fees and would go down the next month. It went down to about $235. Apparently, they charge you a fee on top of a family plan, so the $160 also comes with a $35 charge to use it, or something to that effect, and then you have the outrageous fees and taxes.

    Now, we specifically asked about the added fees and taxes. I told them I would not pay more than $160 when I could go elsewhere for $160 flat. Nothing about their service makes them better than any other company to warrant the expense. Again, I was told $160. I verified and assured them I would NOT pay $200 for 4 phones. Oh no, no, no. $160.

    $195 this month. The plan was indeed $160, but $45 in taxes and fees. Unbelievable. So done and will NEVER use their cell service again. Thank goodness we had bought our phones outright, unlocked, and can switch to T-Mobile, which we should have went with in the first place. If you MUST use ATT, be sure and have them email you copies of your transcript. Be sure you ask specific questions and have them repeat their answer in specifics. Don't take their word for it because they will lie to make a sale. We talked to so many different reps in store and online... They all sold us lies and we thought we were being diligent and we knew specifically WHAT we wanted to know. $1000 down the drain for nothing.

    From my experience, I must say that AT&T wireless customer service has a very disappointing and frustrating customer service. I had to speak to many representatives and their supervisors to resolve a simple issue. Their websites does not work all that well either.

    I have been an AT&T customer for about 12 years and I never really had any issues except for a few bill additions that got taken care of... Then I added DirecTV to it. That went fine for a while then all the sudden my bill went up about 100 dollars for no reason. I called to ask why and they gave me the run around and gave me another promotion. Then I called about another issue and the rep cancelled my services by accident. He said he fixed it and nothing would be turned off and everything on my account was back to normal.

    Well fast forward about 3 weeks and my receivers were tuned off.... Of course I call customer service and was transferred SEVEN times and not one of those people could help me. I then wanted a supervisor and was mad enough by that time that I told them to just keep them turned off and I'd return my equipment. I was told I would not be charged a disconnect fee since I'm not the one who disconnected it but not to my surprise I was charged on my next bill. I then have to call and fix that and it's been a nightmare. They said I owed it and basically get over it. Not to mention I was transferred another 5 times. Awful Customer service and I will be getting a new wireless provider after 12 years. Never had worst customer service in my life.

    I canceled my service and they billed me for an entire month because I canceled my service one day after the billing processed started. Literally the billing service started on 3/23 which was a Saturday and I switched to Sprint on Sunday 3/24. When I called the billing department and talked to John, who would not give his last name, he told me that in the company policy but you will not see this policy anywhere in your contract. What company would charge you a month of service they did not provide you? I did apologize to John because it is not a "policy" he can override, but come on, AT&T is so desperate for cash that they rip people off and lose a customer forever. Not a good business practice if you ask me. Beware if you are considering their service.

    I cancelled services since I kept been overcharged and after cancellation they kept overcharging me, so I called many times to request a refund, which never happened. And they kept charging me, so I had to cancel my credit card and now, I receive past due notices. I filed a complaint to BBB and now I'm thinking of starting legal action, since there's no way to stop this thieves! Stay away!!!

    I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S10+ mobile phone through AT&T's website using the chat option. I spoke to Reymar. Reymar told me that if I opened a 4th line that I would receive a second Samsung Galaxy S10+ mobile phone and pay nothing after a $33.34 monthly credit. I received my bill and noticed it was incorrect. I was only receiving a partial credit of $12.50. I was also blindsided with 2 $30 activation charges that were never mentioned by Reymar. I called customer service and disputed the charges but I was put on hold several time and eventually hung up on.

    I then went to the AT&T store and told them what happened and showed them the transcript from when I bought the phones. They agreed that I was done wrong but they were unable to help me. They told me I should contact customer service through the website, so I did. After 30 mins I was able to chat with a supervisor who said she wanted to help me but the "back office" said I was not eligible for the promotion I was promised and there was nothing she could do to help me. I have transcripts from both chat sessions, backing up everything that I am stating.

    I went to the AT&T store to inquire as to my my bill was so high. I am paying $120 per month for 2 lines. I was told that I could enroll in auto pay and receive a $20 discount. To do this I need to change my billing date. As always no one at the store could help me. I was told to call customer service. As always I was passed from person to person. NO one wanted to help. They are obsessed with doing nothing to help the customer. They wanted a code that I have never gotten to access my account. They would not use driver's license as they do in the store. I was told there was not way to access my account except with a code they could access my account. They do not care about their customers.
