    In 2017 I became an AT&T customer. I can’t remember why I had to wait for my phone number to be ported but I was going overseas before it could happen and was told to have it done when I returned to the states. I was gone for 10 days and when I returned, I did the following morning. I was told all went well, had my phone number restored through new SIM card and the cost would be added to my bill. It is now 2019 and I’m suddenly the getting calls from AFNI for 28 bucks and change for a CLOSED AT&T account! WTF? I’ve only ever had ONE AT&T account and this is it!

    After calling AT&T, apparently when the SIM was switched, the person made a new account? When an AT&T customer agent called me, it was a foreigner with little English skills, and asked me for my account number, HA! I hung up and called AT&T who informed me that person was not a rep and THEY put a SPAM RISK on that number. (Now I find out it was THEIR collections person calling me.) Now I am battling AT&T because not only have they screwed my account up... they have screwed my CREDIT up! And their response to fix this? Well, just pay the bill and the collections will quit calling. REALLY?? AT&T screws up and I have to pay for it?? For $28?? Guess what...ASAP this chick is leaving AT&T and they can shove their $28 up their butts! Bill paid in full.

    When you cancel your account they will not pro-rate the service you no longer have. The company is a rip off and I will never do business with AT&T wireless for poor business policies. Three weeks of service paid for but can't use. No wonder the decision was easy to leave. Now time to take other services to another company. AT&T is a terrible company.

    We, were ATT cell phone customers for 15 years. So we bundled everything with them. Every month our bill would be different. I'd call and they would say something like taxes were different. This went on for the 3 years my wife's phone was under contract. Plus our contract with TV and internet. So we called and canceled everything once our contract was up. I returned all their equipment, at UPS Store. Never heard anything saying they received it. My wife was on the phone with them and asked what do we owe. They said nothing, in fact we were surprised that they said they owed us. They sent us a 53 dollar gift card for our credit due to us.

    Now we get threatening letters saying we owe 120 dollars and they're going to turn it over to a collections agency. She tried talking to them on the phone and the woman was not polite. What kind of company is this. I've read numerous complaints like this about ATT. We always paid our Bills on time. I'm calling Better Business Bureau to file a complaint next. Do yourself a favor. Go to another company. Their billing department doesn't know what they're doing.

    Always something wrong. One person tells you one thing and another tells you something totally different. Wasted many hours sitting on hold constantly to often take care of the same problem they say they are correcting while on the phone the last two or three times. Doing it again now for the third month dealing with the same wrong charges. Terribly run company.

    In July I decided to change cell phone and internet Carriers. I had ATT and was attempting to cancel the services. I had three Cell phones on the service and one of them could not be unlocked. I called for two weeks and got the run around on how the phone would be unlocked but it wasn’t. This phone was bought with cash outright and never on a payment plan and ATT continually told me they couldn’t unlock it. Then after my billing date and several angry phone calls latter amazingly the phone was unlocked using the same phone numbers and call centers that couldn’t do it previously. Then I got charged over $200 for the next months bill.

    I called them and tried to recoup my money and was told that since I had canceled after my billing date per the new billing rules, I agreed to I would not get my money back. Even though two of the three lines had been dropped prior to the billing date and the reason the third had not was because the company had held my privately-owned device hostage for the time frame where I wouldn’t have had to be billed.

    Now in October after having canceled my ATT U-verse internet service in July I get a collection notice for $100. I call ATT and inquired about this new charge. I was told that since I had paid for July 15th and canceled on July 23rd I owed the amount for the WEEK of service I had gotten. I asked why I wasn’t told at the time of canceling I would owe this money and was told. “We don’t have that information at the time because it is calculated later.” I then asked why I wasn’t sent a Bill previously and was told. “It was sent in and e-mail.” WHY WOULD I LOOK AT AN E-MAIL FROM A COMPANY THAT STOLE $200 FROM ME!!!!! #ATT #CORRUPTCOMPANY

    *condensed version* In June-July we were there getting a new phone for my husband which he knew what phone he wanted and it was just going to be a quick trip. We paid our phones off 2 months prior. As they were getting his phone, the guy goes, "Hey why don't you get one, right now the promo is BOGO free Samsungs." I was like no that's ok, I don't need one. I knew there was some sort of stipulation. All he said was a new line, basically I just had to get a new number. That's it. "Your bill will only go up 25-30 depending on which phone." I was comfortable with my 140 I currently had. I debated back and forth, even the lady was like, "Look it's the S10. Much bigger than what you have" blah blah.. So I got it and said all I had to do was change my number.

    Yep. Gave all the details, like you should see the free phone come off the bill.. so 25.00 off each month. Done. So now 4 months in and Every month I called this store stating I do not see a credit, they kept saying, "Oh you'll see it in 2-3 months," then "Oh 3-4 months.." and now they say they can't do anything. "We don't see that you were set up for that BOGO offer" blaahh blaah blaah. The lady Short, long blonde Hair, that helped me initially, was actually the manager, we didn't know that at the time. So she knew what he was doing when he submitted the contract. And now he doesn't even work there anymore. So DO NOT go to this store before you also get duped into a 900.00 phone!!!

    I turned in my Galaxy s9 and got the Note 10. I received a 349 dollar credit for my phone. I also got 2 iPhones that were under promotion for 10 bucks a month. My bill was 115.00 and jumped to 505 dollars with no explanation. I spoke to countless customer service reps hours of my time for them to find the error and attempt to fix it and every time the department they had to send it to to get the approval keeps denying the credit back to my account. I'm so furious with this mess of a plan. I wish I never upgraded. AT&T customer sucks. The upgrade sucks. It's no way my bill should have been 500 dollars and none cares enough to fix the problem.

    I called the ATT 1-800-331-0500. After 40 minutes calling them October 31, and another hour on the computer on their chat computer line to try and rectify the $157.65 bill for 28 hours of service. No one would help me. I was transferred 4 times and the Chat person also told me to call the above number (again) who would be able to help me. I saved the chats and phones were recorded. I spoke to Milton on October 31, for 40 minutes who assured my he canceled everything. The next day I received the $157.65 bill. I called again on November 1, and spoke to Estefania, who then transferred me to Laura, who then told me to call the above number to correct the bill. I then spoke to Courtney who said she was corporate and she would not give me a supervisors phone number and told be that I had to write a letter to a P.O. Box.

    I have been a good customer who consistently paid over $200.00 every month for over 10 years and no one would help me to adjust my bill to pay a fair amount. $157.65 for 1 line that was not canceled (they said) till 28 hours after my bill cycle came out. VERY UNFAIR - hours on the phone - I was transferred and given incorrect information. Please stay away from ATT. They do not help you. They do not care to even try and help a past excellent customer. I was told by Courtney that no one would be able to help me and that she had to pay money when she discontinued her insurance. She said all companies do not pro-rate bills. This is not true - My bill cycle started 28 hours before they finally cancelled everything. This is the worst company and a disgrace that no one will help me at least pay a fair amount for the 28 hours for (1) phone that was not disconnected. Worst customer service.

    Don't use AT&T whatever. Their tower range is on mobile! I have had four accounts and experienced the same at&t corrupt policies on them all! Home, office, mobile and now I'm trying to help my elderly mother with her bill to resolve an issue charges they continue to charge after cancelling my father's cell line who passed away! We have spent long frustrating periods on the phone with them and even went into an At&t store, they do not provide a confirmation # and then they do not take care of what you believe was resolved. Example: my father passed away in February and we cancelled his cell number but, nevertheless, charges each month on the bill.

    I'm now sitting on hold (going on over an hour) getting transferred to this and that department and when finally getting to the correct department the line cuts off and no call back. I'm now on my fifth attempted to get her cell activated after not paying the bill due to the month after month charges for my father's cell who has passed. I can't imagine the millions they make not providing a confirmation number for services cancelled. Also, from previous experiences they will cancel you and then double the charges saying you no longer have a "contract," then turn you into collection!!!!

    I had started with the 5gb shared plan for me and my husband and and it was great. We never came close to the 5gb and always had roll over data...then they came out with the 9gb plan and that same month we magically went over the 5gb for the first time ever. I called to see what was going on and they said we should switch to the 9gb shared plan and it would actually save us $20 since it's the new best plan. So i switch because who wouldnt if you're getting more for less.

    Every month after that my bill was $50 more than it was for the last year. I would call and complain and they would fix it promising me it wont happen again and my bill would reflect my promised amount. (Since i had screen shots of my conversation with the representative). Today again i had to call because my bill was 179 when it should be 140 and they told me they wont honor their promise that i have to either lose gb or pay more. I will be leaving ATT once my phones paid off because i cant be with a company that promises a certain payment and screws you.

    What a complete joke, would leave 0 stars if possible. From the very start I have had a terrible, terrible experience with AT&T, please spare yourself the headache and GET ANOTHER PHONE SERVICE. My first bill for service on an iPad that I PAID IN FULL (keep in mind, so no installment charge) and an iPhone X (iPhone had an installment plan, $30/m) came out to $227. You read that right, TWO HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS. It has been nothing but a nightmare, I cancelled service on the iPad and for just service on my iPhone was $70 (not including $30 installment plan charge). For a single line $70, and for what? I never got service anywhere!

    There's literally too many problems to list that I've had with AT&T but most of them were with billing, 95% of their employees aren't properly trained, not knowledgeable on company policies, uninformed, don't read or notate customer accounts when calling in, RUDE. The list goes on! They are a complete rip off, and every time you call every employee tells you something different. SMH. I will NEVER come back.

    AT&T wireless is dishonest, they are liars, they are fraud! I went to an AT&T wireless store and they told me if I transferred my three lines from my other service provider to them today they had a special where I would get free internet service and there was no activation or cancellation fee for the internet and I could leave any time I wanted because my phones were unlocked. On top of that I would receive a $100 credit card credit for switching.

    Long story short, they charged me $99 for internet activation fee. I tried to disputing with manager over the phone and they said there was nothing they can do because that is how they work, they charge $99 for all the internet activation and that I had been misinformed. I did not received the $100 credit card by mail as the rep at the store promised. I called to complain 5 months later and they told me it was too late. The card that I never received was expired and they can't reinstate it. On top of this I was having trouble with my internet being too slow even though they had promised 50 Mbps download speeds.

    Long story short, I decided to switch to another wireless provider and now they are saying that I have a contract for 1 year and I am only 6 months into it, so early cancellation fee is $180. I spoke to manager and there is nothing they can do to waive the fee. I told them I was told I could cancel my service at any time because I came with unlocked phones, but they said that my terms for the internet are for one year and $180 early cancellation fee. I asked see the signed contract where I agreed to these terms, but they don't have it. They say that the store should keep the hard copy in their files, that I should go check there, but I just remembered that I signed everything on a tablet, so there is no hard copy, but they won't waive my fee, if I continue with internet service it is $60 monthly.

    They are complete liars. What they say and what they do is completely opposite. If they don't get their act together they will go bankrupt because customers like me will never use them again in our lifetime. Unfortunately they will screw millions more before they go bankrupt. Don't trust AT&T wireless. They are dishonest. They are fraud.

    Sometime in spring, 2019, some equipment must have been affected by weather in our Chicago neighborhood, zip 60626. Mobile phone connectivity diminished greatly - to no more than one bar in our apartment, no matter which part of our unit. At the same time, wireless Uverse service, often tentative, became very much so. A technician (these people have come from time to time for the same reason and we always found the people of good quality) told us that he would tell management - again - about a flawed line to the west of our building. The technician was able to move the line (from a tree, I think) and, for a couple of days, we had dependable service. Then we began to lose connectivity multiple times per day, until all connectivity disappeared. This mean, in addition to losing Internet use, we lost the use of our home phone number.

    We live in a building with five other owners, so we asked them which service they use. A number of other owners had once been AT&T customers. Since receiving their answers, we have copied them and transferred to Verizon for mobile phone and home phone, and to Comcast for internet (with ten TV channels included in the service.).

    In sum, because we live toward the end of a Rogers Park neighborhood block abutting Lake Michigan, we think AT&T does not find it worthwhile to repair whatever is flawed. We now find Verizon lacking AT&T's call blocking feature but we do have dependable phone and internet service now. With AT&T, there were no calls and nothing to block, anyway.

    Like others here I was completely happy with AT&T in the past, but their customer service is no longer at the caliber it once was. You'll run around in circles with many people without any help to get your issue resolved. We've had Uverse and they wouldn't extend any promotion on it to bring it to a reasonable monthly amount then sold us DirecTV which at the time I kept telling them we did not like Dish when we had it. Well after the contract ended I left my service with AT&T for television and Internet.

    Recently I purchased a new phone for my husband and added a new line for my son, and was told it was a buy one get one promo. Unfortunately, that is the battle I'm waging with them now. The big kicker is they always tell you it'll take a couple of months to reflect on your bill, and it's impossible to reverse once a couple of months have passed. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with AT&T, and as soon as I can clean up the mess they left me with these cell phones I will be switching carriers. I can't believe they do this to customers that have been with them over 15 years!

I get the terms and it shows full price for the iPhone 7?!?!

    I called back and asked why it said that since I was getting it free. I was reassured that the phone would be free and it would reflect after 3 billing cycles. Never happened. I called them up recently and I was told that this offer never existed. So now I am stuck paying $550 for an iPhone 7 for my young child to watch youtube on. Customer loyalty was no help at all...

    Before traveling to Canada, I stopped in to affirm that out cellular plan would work while on vacation in the Canadian Rockies. The service rep checked and assured me that using our phones would be "just like we were at home". Four days into the trip I received a message about excess data usage...five days into the trip my data usage was blocked. Not at all what I was expecting.

    Upon returning home I went to inquire about the problem. Miguel, who had assisted me before (he is friendly, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to help clients), did a quick check and said I'd have to wait until all the charges from that billing period had come though. Based on his check he stated that it appeared that any problem was an error on AT&T's part. The bill arrives - over $1,200!

    I'm going to shorten the story...Miguel and the staff at the store spent hours (I was at the store for over 4 hours trying to resolve the problem with their help) supporting my claim that the excess charges were AT&T's responsibility and needed to be adjusted accordingly. With Miguel's help and support the billed amount was changed in accordance with what I had originally expected. Thanks to all their help...I'm very pleased!

Had an email address ready to go and called me back 5 minutes after they got the scanned documents,. They sent out the boxes to return the router, etc. same day as well as a final bill. Got credit for return of equipment less than a week after returning it. The irony is that I am an AT&T shareholder. The dividend has been hard to beat. But with such horrible service, I foresee a decline in market share and am seriously considering liquidating my AT&T stock and buying more Verizon stock.

    I had to call an international flight company about my flight and they transferred me to their customer service line in China. But the calls didn't even go through, I tried many times and ended up asking my friends in China to make this phone call for me. Still, they charged me 20 bucks plus tax so 27 bucks extra in total for this stupid internal call service that I didn't even get! This reminds me that months ago when I was in China I was texting someone and the text was failed to be sent yet I still got charged. Called the rep and they say there's nothing they can do, I get charged as long as I dialed an international number even it's not connected. I was like, what if someone accidentally dialed or even butt dialed a weird number. This is ridiculous, will stay away from such a company.

    I was without AT&T internet service for a week so we were using our wireless data plan. It was nearing the end of cycle and we were going over and being charged extra GB usage. I called and asked the GB overage charges be waived since it was AT&T internet that was down. I was told they would temporarily put me on unlimited and revert right back to my same plan at end of cycle I've had for years. That was not true. They would not give me back my plan and wanted to charge me more.

    After being on the phone 2 1/2 hours mostly on hold and talking with several people the only option I had was to go with another plan which was less and "supposedly" give me more usage time. In reality, I lost 1/3 of my GB at the best speed and lost hot spot usage. I'll reevaluate my service in a couple of weeks but in the meantime I will be looking into other providers for wireless and internet. AT&T lacks in knowledge, customer service, problem solving and integrity.

It allows you to add credit cards, gigabytes and everything, but you can not disconnect service. I called and was told the reason they do that is because they don't want you to miss out on a good deal. I explained to her I just want to cancel it and she went on the say she can give me a good deal, again I told her I did not want the service. She hung up on me so I called back and talked to someone else who also went through the whole process of trying to talk me into keeping it and then asked for my social security to get into my account. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Again the phone got disconnected so I called back.

    Long story short I got it disconnected after being on the phone for 2 hours!! I will never do business with AT&T again. I spoke with 4 different people and not one of them spoke very good English. This is the kind of service we get when we outsource to other countries.

    I have been a customer for nearly fifteen years. I will say that I was very satisfied with ATT until the past few years. The customer service reps double talk and promise to resolve issues but these issues never get resolved. This results in numerous calls to ATT to find out why the problems have not been resolved. This includes overpayment and product replacement. I have only made two claims in fifteen years. I have unlimited data for me and my children. The bill continues to skyrocket despite paying off phones. In addition, all of our phones are insured. I recently called because the charger stopped working and they repeatedly told me that this was covered and that they would send a charger to me. Of course I never received a charger.

    They gave an order number for tracking but it is never recognized when I call back. The rep now says that they had a promotion for free accessories but that I cannot get the charger because the promotion went off a few days ago! The experiences with ATT are laughable if it weren't so frustrating. The last rep told me that they could not send a charger because he could not locate the product. This is a new phone and accessories are covered. I used to be a loyal customer but I am so very disappointed with this company. And fyi...do NOT even consider transferring internet service to them. What an absolute nightmare. My advice: Go with another company. I will switch as soon as I pay off the fourth and final phone. No more ATT. Zero!

The charges they put on the bill are overwhelming, and it's impossible to get answers about this. Also beware if you purchase a phone from them and try to return it, they will tell you it was not received even if you have the tracking information and it says delivered, they will jerk you around for a 800 phone and say it was not received because their warehouse is slow to record returns.

    I now see that my experience is similar to others, based on reviews I’ve read here. The customer service representatives and managers are unethical, and they lie. There is no way to sugarcoat it! I switched and cancelled my wireless phone service in July 2019. However, they did not cancel my account, continuing to bill me for my iPad because it was not a number that was ported. (I did not include the iPad on my new account, using home WiFi instead.) I said this to the AT&T representative I spoke with on the phone, and I thought this was clearly understood. I also wrote notes on all my communications with them.

    In the meantime, my mother passed away after 10 months on hospice care, and I was obviously overcome and overwhelmed. When I was able to call AT&T to stop their sending me bills, they told me I never cancelled my account, I just ported phone numbers out. They continued to bill me for the wireless service plan and the iPad line. (It is so illogical to even think I would choose to do that!). They were unpleasant, insulting, interrupted me, and denied that what I said was true.

    They were not willing to budge one iota on a huge bill for service I had cancelled, and did not use! I consider this criminal behavior on their part, amounting to theft! I am sure they have been seeing their subscribers decline, and they’re panicking. And there is nothing we suckers can do about it! I have to say it was a pretty shocking experience... I have never been treated like this by any company before. It really opened my eyes to corrupt and manipulative business practices. Buyer beware! Needless to say, I will go phone-less before I would ever use AT&T again.

Instead of adding the line to my already existing shared account the created a second shared account and data plan. I live chatted my concern and was told the difference was the 30 activation fee (even though my bill was 214 higher than usual). The customer service rep couldn't explain it, but was sure the 30 fee was the only additional charge even though I could clearly see I now had 2 accounts. I reconnected with another live chat representative explained the situation, she saw the additional account and then offered me $80 to compensate. Obviously I said no, I want the 117.63. She said she couldn't to that and transferred me to her manager. Again I explained the situation and she agreed and said that she will credit my account the 117.63.

    A week later I signed on to pay my bill and the credit is not on my account. I live chatted again, explained the situation for a 4th time the customer rep agreed said she seen the notes but no credit and transferred me to her manager. This is now the 5th time explaining the situation, I was told the the account is being investigated because they shouldn't have created a new account and they need to look at their process, but the solution is that I should pay the 117.63 and I will receive 10 a month for 12 months towards my bill, I declined that too. I was told to call accounts receivable because they are the only people that are able to give credits.

    I call the number given to me by the live chat manager, talk to the person (6th time explaining) and was told that's not her department and she sees the issue but can't fix it and then she transfers me. I explain the situation to the next person (time 7) and she agrees but then says she works only with Direct TV and has no access. She says she will stay on the line with the next person explain the situation. She transfers me and doesn't stay on the line of course. I explain again (8 times) and the women again agrees but is unable to credit the 117.63 and wants to transfer me again. At this point I say no, this is not worth my time.

    I was with ATT for a little over 3 years. The service is fine. One thing I will say is I believe ATT is a racket. They charge an extra $35 a month for LTE access if you have an iPhone. After adding up the access fee, the installment fee, taxes and the rest, it is expensive!!! I got tired of shelling out extra money for access**. I truly believe this is not something that is necessary but only adds to ATT's profit. One line unlimited service for a new iPhone will run you easily close to $160-80 a month!!!

    I just switched to Verizon which is superb service, a lot better than ATT. I pay $80 a month for the unlimited plan, no access fee at all like ATT- that saves me about $36 a month! I pay one activation fee of $20, one time!!! I’m paying $123 a month for way better service and a better provider. While I do appreciate the time I had with ATT, the nonsense needs to stop with them. They are profit hungry and it is disgusting. From constantly trying to get you to buy their TV services (which come on who really watches tv like that when you have all these streaming services) to monthly access fees.

    We are active duty military and have been for 20 years. We have been AT&T wireless customers for 15 years and through many military moves. Their coverage has always been good, so we stuck with them, even when our bills continued to skyrocket. When the kids came along we added more devices (iPads) for learning academies and apps we pay for. The price for their unlimited plan is hefty, but to allow all our devices in the home to access said plan, is an absolute disaster! We have 4 iPads in the family, 2 iPhones for the adults and my iWatch service. We pay $335 each month for wireless service alone!

    At one point, we even were conned in to their home security, Digital Life, which was a TOTAL rip off and didn’t even work where we lived, but they refused to let us out of a contract and take back the equipment. Then we bundled with DirecTV when they bought it, nope! That service was terrible too, rogue billing EVERY month we had it! We were suppose to get premium channels free for 6 months at sign up for the bundle, we were gouged and charged for ALL of the movie channels we didn’t even watch! Our cable bill was astronomical and only worked when there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. At one point, we were paying AT&T $850 a month for services, that’s with the 22% military discount they claim to give us.

    Recently (8/15 thru 10/11/2019), we were forced to call in several times because they screwed up our billing so bad it was insane! We wanted to switch to paying our bill with a credit card for added sky miles, then we just paid it off every month. However, apparently if you pay with a credit card they automatically change your billing cycle because the credit cards process differently. Umm... first, WHY weren’t we warned and second, WHY?! It should not be that complicated under any circumstances to pay my bill with a different card. For two months straight, we had to call in every two weeks because of “billing cycles” screwing with our monthly payment and then sending our accounts in to LATE status and collections... but hey, I just paid $335 less than 15 days ago! WTF?!

    We spent probably over 48 hours on the phone with these people and my husband finally got a lady that claimed to have found the issue and added a month credit back. Well after that 2 hour issues/resolution, we look at our updated bill online and were even MORE mortified! She ADDED another month on to our bill and claimed we now owed $850 of which it was delinquent! How do these people have jobs?! Then my husband calls back again and they keep him on the phone for over 2 hours, drop his call then claim they can’t help him.

    This is how they treat loyal customers for 15 years?! Disgusting and unethical is the only words that comes to mind. We will take our valued business elsewhere. We have been scammed and ripped off enough by this company. Also, don’t expect any real help from customer service, they outsource all that and you will always get someone who barely speaks English.

The lady added notes to my account and suggested we go to the store so we could get our phones right away. We showed up at the store where they promptly told us that we would have to add another line, we asked them to please look at the notes on our account that we were told we were eligible for the buy one get one.

    They looked at the notes and read the attached promotion that sales had added and said that promotion expired in July. Hours of my time taken up and they will not honor the promotion after their mistake. AT&T your customer service is getting worse by the day. When I called back and talked to a manager all they said was they would be sending the sales person to be further trained. I told them I would be cancelling my services with them over this and all the incorrect information I was given when signing up for internet service. They could have cared less, they want your loyalty but you will get no loyalty in return.

    I would not wish my experiences with AT&T upon anyone. Horrific is the best way to describe it. I have (had) been a loyal, high-paying AT&T customer, traveling the globe and reliably paying my (overpriced) bill for about 7 years now. My latest experiences have caused me to seek legal action. After a billing mistake, I have been in contact with AT&T customer service no less than 7 times in the past 6 weeks, seeking to correct this, getting bounced around multiple departments, supposedly support cases opened, only to find “poof” - two weeks later those cases were fictitious or whatever ** department you’re talking to now doesn’t see to be able to talk to the next.

    I’ve logged a dozen hours on hold, equally a dozen talking to customer service reps, where they make promises it will be resolved by such and such a date, only to check a few days later ... nope ... not resolved. At this point, they force arbitration, but I am at the point of legal action, for time and money spent chasing this. Go to a company that appreciates your business and won’t drop balls like AT&T does left and right. I’m guessing customers of T-Mobile USA don’t experience this sort of customer abuse. It’s been one of the most frustrating, angering, yet eye-opening experiences with a company I’ve ever dealt with, and yes, my previous experience with AT&T Wireless should have taught me - after so much frustration and problems of a similar sort, hurling a phone into the ocean and walking away, moving to Verizon for 7 years prior to that.

    On February 2018 we decided to upgrade our phones to iPhone 8. AT&T had a promotion that promised 2 for the price of one. We went to the AT&T store in Macedonia OH and dealt with Justin. We were told we would get credit for the second phone after phones were paid The new manager at Macedonia told us in order for us to get the 2 for 1 deal we would have had to either change the phone number or add a 3 line. Justin did not share that information with us, and Brian the new manager apologized but said there is nothing he could do. What a big scam.

So they get my money then barely any service if any at all. Call customer service, ask, I hear is sorry. They don't do anything to help fix this. Very disappointed.

    I spend so much time dealing with AT&T's ordering process, not sure if it's just sad or just comical. I was trying to sign up for this offer https://www.att.com/deals/sfo-internet-for-life-offer.html, basically you get free home internet (up to 100mbps) if you switch to AT&T wireless with unlimited and more premium plan. The chain of event that happened:

    Day 1: Tried to order on chat with AT&T. I was able to place the mobile order and started to go through the Internet ordering process when AT&T's system said it cannot find my address, which makes no sense (It was able to find my address right before I placed the order for the mobile order). I spent 30 minutes troubleshooting with the rep on chat, cleared cookies, used a different browser, etc. Finally the rep told me there is a glitch with the AT&T system that's why my address cannot be found. However, she said I can try chat or placing the internet order again the next day, as I have 14 days to complete the internet order to get the promo.

    Day 2: Morning - received an email from AT&T that my mobile order was cancelled. No reason provided. I called AT&T and was it's a known issue if I port my number and select next day in person delivery, so the order was cancelled... If this is true, why have the option online to begin with? I tried to place the order with the rep on the phone for the free internet promo, and the rep said he can help me with that. After providing all my info to the rep to place the mobile order, the rep's computer "magically" rebooted itself, so I was told we have to start all over. By this time, I've already spent another 40 minutes or so with AT&T. I decided to try again later.

    Day 2 Afternoon: On chat again, was able to place order for both wireless and internet this time around, and only took me an hour... I didn't want to do it online without the rep because I want to make sure they do whatever it is they had to do to make sure the account is set up with the free internet promotion. Day 3: I received an email about the mobile order. The order was on track and in process to be delivered on-time (10/1 - 10/3). I took my internet order number and tried to look up the internet order status, but the order was not found... I figured I'll give it another day and hope it's just a delay in the system.

    Day 4: Internet order was still not found. I went on chat and the agent said my order was cancelled, but no reason was provided. (Thanks AT&T for cancelling my order and not notifying me). I was transferred to another "specialist" to figure this out. The specialist told me someone will contact me to assist me with the ordering process. And yes, I received a call from AT&T. I explained the problem and explained I wanted to sign up for the promotion, so he said he can help me complete the internet order and get the promotion. At this point he said I need to close all the AT&T windows on my browser (including the chat window) so he can assist me in their system. I closed all the windows, and the call dropped. Now I have no one on the phone and the chat window was closed...

    Day 4: Called AT&T back to place the order for the internet from scratch. I had to explain the issues and the promo I'm trying to sign up for. The agent said he can help me with the internet order on the phone. This time he told me the reason my initial order was cancelled is because I had selected "self-installation" on a 75mbps internet, and anything above 50mbps requires professional installation. (Again, if this were true, why even have the option online?). I told him fine, but I'm not paying $99 for professional installation when it's free to do self-activation. However, he said he was not able to waive the installation. But if I do it online, I can get a $100 Visa giftcard to offset the professional installation, so finally got the order placed online. Finally everything looks to be processed this time around.

    Day 4: Went on chat to confirm with an agent that the orders I had placed qualified me for the promo. I was told yes. Day 5 (10/1) No update on mobile shipping yet. However, I got a 10/4 date for internet installation scheduled. Day 6 (10/2) 6:14PM - Received an email about my wireless order (iPhone 8) and the new expected shipped date is now 10/30 - 11/1. I called AT&T and asked about this. The rep that talked to me said the system is still showing 10/3 delivery date, and he has no further information. I would need to talk to the shipping department to get the latest update, and the shipping department is closed by this time.

    Day 7 (10/3) Morning - Called AT&T and was told the item is not available, so the expected ship date is 10/30 - 11/1 (it's one thing to miss the delivery date by 1 or 2 days, but 1 month?). By this time, I finally gave up and asked to cancel both the wireless and internet order. The agent said she can cancel wireless for me, but I will need to talk to the internet department to cancel the internet order. I requested to talk to internet department first as my internet installation was scheduled for the following day. The agent transferred my call and stayed on the line with me and explained the problem to the internet specialist. I added, the promotion requires me to pay for both services until both services becomes activate and I may need to pay for up to 3 months after that.

    The internet agent said, "Oh I can give you 1 month credit to cover the lost month due to the cell phone delay." However, when I asked about the 14 day requirement to have both services activated to receive the free internet promo, she could not give me a definitive answer to what will happen, but I can always call back if I don't receive the promotion within 3 months and they should be able to take care of it for me. I refused. Finally cancelled internet order, and the original agent who stayed on the line cancelled my mobile order. THE END. NO MORE AT&T.

    On 6/22/19 i closed my internet service account with AT&T set to take effect on 6/30/19. For the next 2 months i received bills from AT&T for more than 100$ each month. Alarmed i was still receiving bills at a new address that ATT had no knowledge of i called in. They assured me my account was in fact closed and the bills were sent out erroneously. They zero'd out the account and pronounced it closed. This took place on 9/14/19. Today 10/3/19 i received a new bill. At which point i called AT&T who stated i had never actually closed my account. But in fact i had removed internet service (the only service i previously had purchased) and opted into a new year long contract of NO internet service, but just a contractual agreement that gives ATT the right to bill me for a service agreement without providing service.

    I informed the Cancellation Tech over phone that all AT&T equipment (modem/router) was returned to AT&T store physically by myself months prior to said "new contract" at the recommendation of previous phone call with service department. According to cancellation service technician the summary of the conversation: on 6/22/19 i removed internet service from my account and shortly after returned all equipment to an Authorized branch location then sometime between 6/22-9/14/19 i re opened service for a year long agreement where no service is provided yet im still required to pay a monthly bill. At which point i stated, "Seriously, when was the last time you decided to give your money away for nothing in return? Does AT&T look like a charity?"

In addition to the disorganization the customer service ranges drastically. Louis, who is a manager employee id: ** appeared to be defensive and matter of fact regarding our poor customer experience. The issues are as listed:

    1. The phone rings SPAM constantly.
    2. CUSTOMER SERVICE representatives tend to react according to emotions and not service, quality, and evidence.
    3. The call protect app information was never emailed to me and does it even help?

    5. We are being robbed of reimbursement from equipment we have paid over one year of taxes when we are exempt.
    6. We have a trail of emails to validate our issues but the pass the buck syndrome is the way here.

    This was and is a very discouraging experience and we do not wish to continue a relationship with this type of belittlement within an organization. The question is how to end the relationship at this point. My suggestion to all businesses - buy your telephone number and ship it where the service is working for you and not you working for them. Twenty emails, location visits, hours of telephone holding, and disgruntled customer service issues later we have safely come to this fair review.

Regardless, I submitted an order and a few days later I get an email saying they hit a snag and I should call them. I called them only to find out that somehow the SSN didn't match. They canceled the order and I had to re-do it again. I submitted another order and they hit a snag again. This time it was identification questions. As a new customer, going through this process just to switch has been a pain. I don't even want to switch anymore.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    I walked into a AT&T store in December/January 2019 to see if I can get an old iPhone turned on but I had to get a new battery. While I was there I was told that if I added another line and could get a free phone. So, I did that. They tried to reload everything from my old phone to new phone and could not get it to download. So they ordered a new phone and had it sent to my home. I brought the phone back down to them and we were able to download everything. I was also told that it would be one or two billing cycles before I would see a credit for the phone. Well as of today I still don't see the credit. I have been on the phone with them for months and every time I call I get a different answer. There were some credits finally but what is the sense of giving me the credit and I am still paying for the phone. All I want is to get a credit for that amount on my bill every month and still don't have it.

    I have everyone I spoke to, the dates and times and it is unbelievable that I have spoken with over 20 people and no one can take care of this. I have been a customer with AT&T for over 20 years and this has been the worst experience ever. All I want is to see a credit on my bill every month and they can't do that. Horrible, horrible customer service. I will be filing a complaint and list everyone I spoke with and what each of them have told me. The different story each person gave me is terrible.

    While reviewing my bank statement I caught AT&T wireless withdrawing $75 to $90 a month so I called their billing department several times trying to get my money back. I spoke with the billing department”s manager and I informed him that the call is being recorded and asked him to return my money. After about 2 hours call they admitted the guilt saying that was an error.

    They refused to return my money. The only thing they offered is to keep my money and use it for future bills. I told them that I will switch to another carrier but they still say, "Sorry, we cant return your money" because they don’t do it that way. AT&T has 159 million subscribers. If they steal their customers’s bank account like they did with me then they make billions every day. I was with T-Mobile for 7 years and never had this issue.

    The worst customer service experience I have had in a decade. Up there with the likes of Comcast as the worst in customer service. I want to pay them fairly for what I owe and they want to instead burn my account, lose a customer of more than 5 years, and not work with me causing me to likely have debt out against me from them. If you are planning on signing up for AT&T wireless service, DO NOT lease a phone from them. You will regret every moment of it. You pay twice as much and they do not care about you as a customer if you suddenly need to change your plan. 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. This company has wasted more manpower dollars arguing with me over $300 than they would have spent if they just sorted my problem day one. I am stunned at the ineptitude I've experienced over the past week and really don't know what to do with this company. I initially planned to get a brand new phone from them in a few months but I'll be talking with a competitor instead.

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 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.

    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!!!

    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.

Took the new phone into the store and Garret did everything for me. I was very impressed as everyone in that store was helpful and did not try and sell me a new phone, which they could have, as I did not know about the insurance covering it. I will recommend that store in Palos Hts to everyone.

    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 don't know how AT&T is still around when there are so many other companies that actually treat their customers decently.

    I am trying to unlock my daughter's phone to switch us both to Google Fi which will be 80% cheaper. AT&T insists on using their website to unlock all phones. Every time I call AT&T I have to create a new password. They force me to enter several fields and don't offer much assistance as to what they are looking for. I spent 5-1/2 hours with AT&T to get nowhere. The final solution was to have an Indian call center write a report that might get read in the next 2 days. Trying to navigate AT&T simply isn't worth the time. I can't wait to close this overpriced account!

    I have been with AT&T many years. Lately every time I call it is an uphill climb, no one wants to help. I upgraded my phone, and when received, decided I didn't want it, never activated it or even took it out of the box. I was well within the 14 day return period, looked online and it said I could return it to the store or ship it back. I tried to return it to the closest at&t store. They said no one was there that could do returns. Called the next closest store. They said yes I could bring it back, but they were closing. 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???? That doesn't even make sense. Shipped it back, and called customer service again and reported, and logged my complaint. I'll be leaving At&t, and encouraging everyone I know who has them to do the same.

    AT&T has been a nightmare. I have had several problems, the latest being the worst. My bill for 2 lines, tablet and cell, slowly went from $170 up to $209. I called to change my plan and cancel the tablet line. The next month I received a bill for over $300. Last night I spoke to customer service for the 5th time over a 6 week time period. 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.

Ordered phone which happened to not be in the store and was assured that the phone would be delivered to me at my home .... at the time frame of my choosing. YEP - you guessed it - it didn't happen. I wasn't not told once that the phone would be delivered from an outside source. My appointment time was changed - no one called me, no email ... nothing till the day that I was texted letting me know of the time frame.

    Spoke to 3 different AT&T agents on Thur- Aug 23 - 2 of which flat out told me that they could not help me. 1 that seem to try to help only to find out that everything that he said was a total lie --his agent number is ** (only after an 1 1/2 of my time for just this one call). After waiting for a tracking number to emailed to me -that of course never came -- called the store that I purchased from. Said they would call back -- nope. Left for the day without bothering to update me at all -called back to AT&T - was on the phone for 3 hours with two different agents - Geof ** and Romona ?

    I was low on cash and lowered my plan before the auto pay day so I would have phone service. When I got paid I then upgraded back to the $50 per month plan $40 with auto pay. When I upgraded it told me to pay $40 and I did around 12 pm. I used my phone all day up until 9 pm when it no longer dials out. So they would not correct this situation because they are using call center and people pretending to be managers telling me the same thing over and over again. Even after admitting that my service would not be on if there was not enough money available. So I can not even talk to a real AT&T worker to fix this problem. Their only solution was pay $10 more dollars. I am tired of this paying for service and you can't even talk to the people that work for who I am.

I’m on a business account so I’m not able to do anything about it (phone service) and now the community I’ve moved to has it setup to where you only have At&t as a choice for Internet in home.

So the contract person calls me to setup my internet & quotes me at 50/month, which he says since I’m on a business plan i can’t get the 10$/m discount for bundle deals and he never mentions the first bill will be 3x the amount with a installation charge of 100$ & prorate fees etc and he also didn’t mention that there was a data cap on home WiFi with charges for all overages????

    I’ve never ever had to watch my data usage on home WiFi! So then i start to use my LIMITED data and it’s so slow (but their fastest speed) and i cant even stream any shows and the phone WiFi is slow to load as well so now that I’m At&t by phone and home internet I’m just basically screwed, nothing works fast ever! I at least use to have relief once getting home & using my old carrier (Giga monster 100mbs (true) unlimited for 35$/month non-contract) but now I’m forced to be stuck with At&t and i also see why they need you to be in contract with them, ppl would leave in the first month!

They allowed me to cancel the line and said they would refund the money and let me keep the phone. Month after month I kept getting yes. Whenever I would call they would say they would be credited. Finally I got somebody today that said there was nothing they can do and I owed the thousand dollar charge. When I tried to cancel my service they said there was a $2000 cancellation fee.

    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.

WELL, they came out and installed my equipment which took about 2 hours. THEN apparently the guy said that AT&T was having an outage and he couldn't activate it right then so he would come back in a couple hours to do it. He Never Came Back. Called AT&T the next day and explained the situation about the guy installing everything, and how he never came back to activate it, and they told me that I would have to wait THREE MORE WEEKS for someone else to come and activate our internet even though it was all installed the day before and the worker decided to move on and not finish the job.

    I do online school and I do not have 3 WEEKS! for them to activate my internet! I was absolutely mind blown that they expect people to wait that long AND that they couldn't rush it since their worker failed to do their job when he was out and left us high and dry. We decided to go ahead and cancel it and I am going back to Spectrum because they don't make you wait weeks to have your service worked on.

    I needed a phone line installed for my job. The first time I called, it went very smoothly, but she put in the wrong address. The phone line never worked and was cancelled. When I tried to get it connected, again, I was transferred several times, put on hold, disconnected, told to call different phone numbers. It was a complete nightmare. When I finally got to someone who could actually put in the phone line, I was told I need to put in a deposit, even though I did not need one the first time. I had lost my job over this mess. I have spent HOURS of my time. No discounts, no apologies, I was refused to speak to a manager. If you need a regular, traditional landline, be willing to spend weeks trying to get one.

    It has been such a relief to use a service that is a great bargain, provides us with stellar coverage for our area, and professional level customer service. We use to have cellphone service through another carrier for 3 years total where we leased phones. One by one we went to ATT prepaid with unlocked phones and was much happier. We want no fuss service that delivers what we are paying for and they do that.

    They provide very poor service. The broadband does not work as promised. They have to work on the installation multiple times, and every time they come and charge. The technicians are highly inefficient. They make money by charging for rework (which they did wrong in the first place). Their customer service is pathetic. Someone from a non English speaking country picks up the phone and you have to explain hours and hours the problem. In the end they would say that they do not understand English well. AT&T is absolutely lousy. They keep ripping off the consumers. It is high time they are taken to court.

He received the following response from AT&T: "no conflict, utility is outside of the stated work area." AT&T was in error. The contractor cut the cable line running under the driveway. Internet access was lost. I called AT&T immediately and explained that I was the physician on call that week for a busy oncology practice. Without internet access, I could not effectively access patient electronic medical records. I explained the need for immediate repair.

    The first phone call took 50 minutes and ended with a supervisor guaranteeing me that he would call me the next morning to arrange service. He never called. A second 50 minute phone call ended with a service repair scheduled late the next day. I have had consistently bad service from AT&T but this was the worst yet.

I've now spent hours on the phone with AT&T support either being told this program doesn't exist, they have no clue what I'm talking about, and the one supervisor who was familiar with the program gave me a solution that didn't work and proceeded to tell me there is nothing they could do. Considering their website says I can unenroll from this at any time, this can't possibly be legal. They were not forthcoming with information about this program when I accidentally signed up, and are proceeding to do everything they can so that I can't unenroll. As of now, they can still collect my calls, texts, website usage, location, etc. I'm considering pursuing legal action as they need to give an option to unenroll from a program akin to Big Brother.

    The worst experience. I was trying to buy a phone with a payment plan, AT&T wireless rep. told me that I'll get a temporary number but can transfer my own in 12 hours. When I called, turned out it was not possible, the number he gave me was not temporary, and that was only the beginning. Turned out I'm now signed up for 2 phone lines, and the only way to get out, is to pay off the phone. I said ok, paid it off, called AT&T. They told me that they don't see any new account on my name and I'm all good with my old account. Then I started receiving bills. Dealing with some customer service reps was like talking to the wall, really firm wall, nobody takes responsibility.

    After 3 hours on the phone, I was on the line with loyalty department, they recommended to close the account and further investigate. Turns out they only did it so after the account is closed, they can't help me with that, and my only option is collections. Fast forward I had to pay $109.85 to get out of this mess, even though, I was on auto pay with my prepaid AT&T account the whole time.

    I canceled 3 smartphones I had on my account and left 1 phone that does not require data on 7/4/19. I called a few weeks back to talk to a Customer Rep and tell him about this situation and the fact that I could not LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT FOR WEEKS. He tried to help me with my account with no success. I received a bill for 199.33 for internet and 1 phone because I am still on the data plan that had all 3 smartphones which have not been part of ATT since July 4, 2019. I am sure that if ATT researched they could clearly see that NO MESSAGES OR DATA was used. It is August 5 and because the Rep I spoke to did not make the changes to my phone data plan or suggested a new plan for 1 phone, ATT is telling me "this is your account and you are responsible for letting us know, our REP cannot suggest anything!!"

    This is not only frustrating but unethical business practices. How do you train your Reps? Do you train them to sell ONLY, or to provide customer service? Which is more important, to provide customer service or to charge for services that, it is clear, have not been used? This could be a reason why this company has become a monopoly, for this type of unethical business practices and for only training their Reps to sell. After 3 hours on the phone, I was told that all phones need a data plan and for a senior plan I could pay 49.99; my elderly mom does not message, does not use data. Does this make sense?

The physical store directed her to call customer service, who then diverted her to a different company, who then diverted her back to AT&T, who then diverted her to a different department, etc. This continued for over 3 hours, with AT&T offering as little help as possible - even attempting to charge her an EXTRA $10!

    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.

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.

Plus one customer service tech told me he would give me a $300 per phone credit if I turned in more phones.

    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.

    Moved from the US to the UK and called AT&T on my first day, cancelled my account and unlocked my phone. Account wasn't closed, and they billed me for $194 over a month later. I had to call and spent 40 minutes on the phone with 3 different service reps to get the charges removed, and they STILL charged me $34 for the extra month even though there had been no usage. After being a AT&T customer for many years I was disgusted that they would nickel and dime me after admitting their own mistake (not closing the account the first time I called).

    I recently noticed my unlimited data went up drastically. We were paying $20/month for unlimited. The phones that I pay monthly installments for went to $35/month. If I decided to pay for the phone outright it went to $60/month. So in the end my plan went up $90 a month for unlimited data. Been a customer for over 20 years and the response I got was, "I can show you other data plans that aren't unlimited." It's too bad but I guess it is time to shop around and see what else is out there. Very disappointed customer!

    Take pictures step by step, keep all receipts when returning their equipment. They try to charge you saying all equipment was not returned even though I put everything in one big box that they provided. I even received confirmation from them that they received my equipment and they couldn't even find the email I provided them. One hour later after all my evidence they were in the wrong and trying to scam their own customers out of more money. I will never again use AT&T service on anything!

    Once upon a time I raved about this company. Told everyone how good the service was...They have sooo changed! I tried to add a line and after three months and three tries I am canceling my service! They promised me one price but when the bill came it was an additional 60 in fees and was past the time to return the phone I received so then to cancel was gonna cost money too. 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. They lie to you to keep you and then can charge for services 'cause they changed your account to keep you....trap. Don’t let them retain you and charge you just the same!!!

    I switched from Verizon to At&t about a week ago and have had NOTHING but problems. I have 4 lines and have had issues with ALL of them in this short period. My family has had the service for twenty years or more, but my personal experience has been substandard....I am EXTREMELY disappointed. We have had problems with video calling, our hotspots, secure family, accessing our gift, call quality, and activation. Customer service has been ATROCIOUS, and one agent, Juanita, ASSURED me that we would get my issue resolved, and then transferred me to a CLOSED department! I'm thinking of going back to Verizon. 10 years with them and I NEVER had this many issues all together.

    I'm with ATT from the past 7 years. Upon requesting to unlock a device for my international travel, they denied without full payment of device. 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.

    AT&T has got to be the worst in lack of customer service. Trying to get an answer from anyone - via chat or phone call. I have now made 5 calls to them and not a single person is willing to help me.
