Neither the company nor Mr. Stephenson, CEO of AT&T take care of their employees, much less their customers. AT&T is the worst company with one of the largest monopolies in the communication industry. As a teacher, reliable internet is a necessity in these times of distance learning due to COVID-19. I switched to AT&T on a promise to get a great teacher discount, but the run around apologies and lack of accountability is astounding when the internet failed to work correctly from the onset. After initial installation, internet reliability was intermittent, so a second technician was sent. The second technician made the problem worse and the internet failed to connect at all.
I spent countless HOURS trying to get an answer and immediate service because teachers are in constant training and constant lesson planning and constant updating student lessons on online applications that without reliable internet connection, we cannot do our jobs. I had to drive to the AT&T store to get connected to the hotspot, which costs me extra money, so that I can get online access. I was still on hold going into 5 hours trying to get a manager to give me answers, so the AT&T guys at the store took pity and got me a "package" that would give me better services, but costs more. BUT the internet is still not working.
The third time a technician was schedule to come the following day, who was scheduled to show between 4 pm and 8 pm, my ticket was not even picked up and after about four hours wait time, and a text message was sent that the technician would NOT make it by 8 pm! So they give me a next day appointment, yet again,for a technician to show between 10 am and 12 pm the following day. So I wait again, and I get a message that morning that the technician is on the way. The technician never arrives and I get a message that reads, "It looks like we missed your appointment. If you'd like to reschedule, reply CHANGE." I was told that the technician tried to reach out when he arrived, and the ticket generated on their end said they could not reach the wires, but my building is open and accessible from the street!! I am sitting in my living room with my phone next to me, and I get no call, no text that the technician is here
I call and again to complain and "the only thing they can do" is reschedule for the next day because Kevin the technician will not answer his phone, nor Juan his manager. I asked for the floor manager, and after explaining the whole story again for what seems like the hundredth time, a floor manager, Angel, worked very hard to get a hold of a Field Manager who did not respond. Angel was able to reschedule me for "an appointment that just opened" for the same day evening. I am sitting here waiting, again waiting to get internet service so that I can do my job. Not only has this cost me to lose online training sessions, but also work and a lot of aggravation that has elevated my blood pressure.
The way this multi-million company does business is atrocious! It is unacceptable, it is shameful that you make your employees powerless to handle crucial situations, and you do not deserve to have such an important hold on the consumers and employees. This is the worst company I've yet to come across in terms of service, wait time on the phone to get answers, and accountability. I thought that after years of switching from AT&T due to their poor service and services they would have improved, but that is definitely not the case. Perhaps this sole customer may not affect your multi-million profit, but if I do not get reliable service by tomorrow, kiss my rear end goodbye forever. I am greatly disappointed, extremely frustrated, and filled with lots more negative and penned up feelings about AT&T.

I made a payment arrangement with AT&T. However, AT&T did not honor their end of the agreement. And as a result, my bank account went into "OVERDRAWN" status. I called all the proper channels for resolution and got scripted responses and blatant indifference from the representatives. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was put on hold for a very long time, only to be told that someone would contact me regarding my concern. NO ONE ever called me back! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT have any business relations with this company. You will be very, very, very disappointed!

I ordered a new phone from AT&T. It was shipped out timely, but lost in transit at a UPS distribution center. The UPS distribution center told me to contact the shipper - AT&T. From there, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with AT&T either on hold or talking to someone trying to get action taken. It was clear that the AT&T service reps were not even listening to me. I would explain the situation and the rep would come back and tell me they tracked the package and it was in a UPS distribution facility and would be delivered in a few days. It was a immensely time-consuming, unproductive use of time to try to resolve an issue that is ultimately between AT&T and their choice of shipper, UPS.
During the 2 hours I spent on the phone with AT&T, I was transferred to 6 different people in 5 different departments...why AT&T doesn't appear to have protocol to deal with packages lost in transit is beyond me. What should be a simple issue to resolve turned into a finger-pointing, blame-placing ordeal. If AT&T truly cared about their customer experience, they would take ownership of resolving the issue with UPS and sending out a replacement order asap.

My elderly mother has no internet for her life alert to work. They will not expedite an appt and are making her wait 5 days for repair. The company does NOT care about their customers. Have spoken to several supervisors who "say" they are going to take care of it and never do. When I call back for a follow up no one can find any notations in her file about any conversations. We will be switching carriers!!!

Last year we moved into an apartment complex with an AT&T exclusive. This is a HUGE red flag. Never do this. One year of TV Uverse constantly freezing and pixelating. Constantly. The 300 Mps has never gotten above 60Mps. Never. The money we have paid has been 100% good. No glitching. In other words we pay perfectly good money for horrible service. I have spent many $$$ with AT&T but when ever I get out of this garbage service I will never spend a penny with AT&T. But go ahead and get you some. I am sure this could never happen to you. Not you.

I switched onto ATT back in May from another provider in order to try out a new network and get a deal on new phones. I was told if we ordered two new phones online and transferred a phone line over that we would receive two $150 reward cards and a $250 reward card respectively. We had a lot of trouble over these orders and every time we tried to place it online it would cancel our order while processing. This happened multiple times over the course of 3 days to the point where Customer Service had to help us through an online order and even then it STILL ended up getting cancelled. After being so fed up we called ATT and had to work with them over the phone to get the order processed correctly.
After that every month so far we have received bills that were grossly above our estimated bill. Every single month it was another long and drudging phone call to try and figure out another ** excuse for why we had to pay another fee or another charge. And on top of that, still no reward cards. Every person we spoke to simply said "It's processing and on that way" and that was it.
Finally after another month of bill problems we were told to call the rewards department. I finally did that today and I have spent my entire day on the phone because of it. Because I needed ATT's own customer service help to work and process the order, in their system they classified it as a phone order and not an online order. Which meant that in their system we didn't even have rewards cards on the way in the first place despite what every other representative had told us up until this point.
The insult added to it all is that due to the complete bureaucratic nonsense that is the ATT customer service department, the rewards department told me to try and call customer service for more help. I did and after hours of exchange, they told me to call the customer loyalty department to help get a resolution. And then they told me they couldn't help with that at all, and that the only department who had any authority to issue or resolve reward card issues was the rewards department. Which meant I went on a goose chase all day long with no resolution and no attempt in the slightest by ATT to undo the wrong that had been done to me. This isn't customer service, this is a customer patience gauntlet.

I had Hours of waiting on the phone, 9 total, endless CHATS online, standing in the store 3 times, being cut off on the phone several times, ordering a phone on the phone then having to cancel the order because no one could take my payment. I made an appointment to visit a store the rep said was OPEN after I told the rep it wasn't, it was closed. I finally ordered online by myself. Received my phone, set it up myself and NOW receive a bill twice what it was. Talked to an associate yesterday who agreed that was a mistake, ONLY to receive the actual bill today saying it increased! I wanted to throw up. If you are purchasing a $700.00 phone, you think you could get at least "fair' Customer Service? I tried to resolve it online, "SITE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY" message after several attempts. Not sure what is next? I just posted on FaceBook. Waiting for reply.

I recently had two devices stolen my cell phone and iPad both on AT&T account. Seems that silly me stored all my information on the two stolen devices. I don’t remember my login name. I don’t remember my password since I decided to take the convenience of auto fill password. Now they can’t verify it’s me when I try to log in. Plus the fact there’s not ever a 24/7 representative available. After spending 45 minutes on the phone this morning in Bollywood I was told the system was upgrading. After three calls I finally did find someone that could point me in the right direction. It seems the issues I have is with my login identity. I can’t get past that. Must listen to reset a password. I just don’t get it. It’s not like I’m trying to break into Fort Knox.
It was a vicious circle every time I tried to log in. They had to send me an through email a new user log in name. When I tried to reset my password was told by the, as he referred to himself, the virtual representative To visit the site for more information on how to log in. Virtual assistant? More like an annoying bot. Good thing I couldn’t unplug him. Is it just me wishing AT&T Had a 24/7 USA Customer service representative available.

I called customer service, received a quote for a new higher tier rate plan, and signed up. The bill came in 50% more than what the customer service agent told me. I called customer service again and was told me the new bill was correct. AT&T Wireless really didn't seem to care to have my business. So I am switching to another provider. Hopefully, they will have more truthful agents.

I have never been treated as bad as I have in the last year with ATT. I am sure they are outsourcing the reps on chat. The rates I get charged are just downright out of touch. I upgraded my phone per ATT's advice and promo with only 2 months to go on my old phone. I was told I would get a credit of up to $100 for trading in my phone. So 6 months after getting confirmation that they have my old phone and it's in working order, I didn't trade my phone in correctly to get the credit. On top of trading my phone in when I wanted to, I was charged double that month for the installment payments. 1 for the new phone and 1 for the old phone in the same month. Our bill went up to $538 in one month from $209. We also upgraded plan, but still that is outrageous.
After chatting several times with other reps, I was told (and I have the chats to prove it) that I would be getting that months over charges returned and a $60 credit for my trade in. Today 3 months later, still no such credit. I chatted again today SAME CRAPPY SERVICE. Telling me it's my fault for upgrading during a promotion. Even though I have the letter and email confirming my phone was returned and in good working order to get the credit I was promised. Nope they said again I did it wrong and I wasn't owed a credit. I hate this company and their over priced plans. Same crap they pull on the DirecTV side of service. They have reps that tell you what you want to hear and get you off the phone or chat and move on to someone else. I am moving on. I hate this company.

WOW! I just found out when I went to settle my final ATT bill that they have been charging me an additional $13.50 a month for the last 4 years since they gave me a "free" tablet, that is still in the box! That's over $600 for a device I've never even used. AND since there was a separate phone number associated with the tablet (which I was also not aware of), they were still charging me the full monthly phone charges even tho I switched wireless companies a month ago. How did I never realize this? When you pay your bill from your phone, you never actually see the breakdown. I just thought that I was paying an average monthly bill for owning a cellphone. I'm an idiot.

I am AT&T customer since two years and it took me long to figure out that behind helpful teams there is something seriously wrong which technical teams can't fix which fails the Internet solution for me which tells on paper 300 plus Mbps speed but actually less than 20 Mbps most times in actual. I don't mind little less or more speed as long as it is consistent and I am not stopped. Irony is that it has dropped me out of several important meetings for spotty connections and reviewing in detail afterwards resulted in no findings from tech team for why was it dropping.
Believe me I was with Spectrum before AT&T and they provided 100 Mbps consistent even when I was registered for 200 Mbps and I never complained because never faced such humiliations in office meetings for such kind of disconnections. It was my greed for better bandwidth which resulted me into this horrible internet provider.

I upgraded two lines and traded in our old phones. They only give you 30 days for the upgrades to be returned. Sounds like a long time, right?! No, it took almost three weeks to get the new phone and the shipping label for old one, which they counted AGAINST my 30 days. Then it took them over a week to process it AFTER THEY RECEIVED IT, which they also counted against my 30 days. So now they are charging me for both sets of phones. Stay away from them! They are no better than scam artists.

These ATT wireless guys are crooks. I had recently moved into my new place and made an appt for att to come install my home phone, tv and internet. The tech did a great job and was on his way out when another guy came to the door. The att tech told me "It's okay, he is with Att" so thought nothing of it and let him in. He immediately started talking to us about cell phone service. We told him we were not looking for new service. We were happy with T-Mobile. That's when all the empty promises started.
I told him we were paying $140 for 4 lines unlimited everything. He said they have 4 lines unlimited everything for $120. He actually wrote this down for me. And I still have the paper for proof. Also offered new phones (S20) for just $8 a month. Plus if we gave him 4 of our old phones we would each get a $200 Visa gift card. And we would not have to pay a activation fee since we were AAA members. And we had 2 weeks to cancel if we were not happy. All this was a great deal. So we decided to give a try. BIG mistake.
2 days later my card was charged $35. Nobody knows what that charge was for. 7 days later I got another charge for $386. I messaged the att guy and told him no way. This is BS to come pick up these phones and bring our phones back. We are going back to T Mobile. He would not come up the phones. So I had no choice to take them to the att store which ended up costing me a restocking fee of $55 per phone. I would not have had to pay that if he would have picked up the phones.
We never got our old phones back so we had to buy new ones. I have contacted att customer service several times complaining and it does no good. They do not back up their sales guys promises. They will not take off the activation fee, they will not take off the phone installment fee (even though I returned the phones) they will not pro rate the bill for 9 days, since that's all I had the service for. I told att customer service that this is a scam. You can't send guys to peoples house unwanted. And allow them to make whatever promises they want just to make a sale and not back up there promises. After this I made a complaint with the BBB and the federal trade commission. I decided to go through the reviews and noticed there are 1000's of complaints of these guys doing this and nothing is being done about it. I am in the process of trying to get a class act lawsuit against them.

We were in the process of transferring our TV and internet services to DirecTV and had an appointment with a technician to come to our house. We were not in the market to switch cellular carriers! The salesperson, Zack ** with AT&T, just happened to come at the same time! We thought that was kind of strange at the time and now realize that it was not a coincidence and that it was a sales tactic, which is now very unwelcome! Zach presented a package deal if we would switch from Verizon which included new upgraded phones and that he would handle everything up to and including paying off the contract on the old phones.
Paying off the old phones never happened as approximately a month later I received an outstanding bill stating I owed our previous carrier Verizon, over 2000.00 dollars to be paid immediately or it would be turned over to collections. At&t screwed me royally because of their salespeople and should ultimately be responsible for the promised payment to Verizon of over $2000.00. Numerous calls were made and hours of time spent trying to contact customer service to complain about the service and pay the bill to the previous carrier that was promised in the beginning. Every single time a contact was made after waiting 30 min to 1.5 hours each time, we were inevitably transferred to another department and again waiting to discover that it was again the wrong department!!!! Zero response!!!
The sales guy that started this whole mess should be fired for lying to prospective customers. Because of this experience I will never use At&t again not only because of their dishonesty but because their service overall is inferior. Bottom line, we would never have transferred from Verizon to AT&T as we were very happy with Verizon. We only switched carriers due to the promises that Zach made. As soon as we can, we will be transferring back to Verizon as they are a far superior company and have a far superior product. Also, anyone we speak to about phones will have our recommendation to NOT use AT&T!

No one will provide you completely and if you go to store they will ask to contact customer support and if we call customer support they will make us go to store.

I called in regards to a BOGO offer back in July. I gave the price range that my budget would need to stay in and the lady helped me. My bill was always much higher! Now I’m told I did not get BOGO. I am stuck paying for the extra phone and will now be out of my budget for the cost of the second phone. I have called and spoke with everyone possible and they have all stated it was not my fault, but nothing they can do at this time.

The customer service is absolutely incompetent and as a result I am being penalized. My wife and I decided to transfer from Verizon and take advantage of the trade in promotion AT&T offered in February. The promotion was if we were to trade in our devices we would receive free phones from AT&T. The transition was initially seamless until it was time to turn in our phones. A tech arrived at our house and set us up on their network. I then asked if he would take the old phones where we trading and and he said he couldn’t and that I would need to call AT&T for those instructions.
When I called the customer service representative said I should receive shipping labels in the mail. I waited a week and when nothing arrived I called back. I explained that the last rep I spoke so said that we should be receiving shipping labels. This rep then told me they should be on the way. I continued to follow up up and do my due diligence until I call back 32 days later from when I transferred providers and I was informed that the promotion period was over and I was past the 30 day deadline. She stated that since that period had passed I can no longer trade in my device and will be charged full price.
This is not a good start to a new customer relationship and will forever advise anyone against AT&T. Terrible service who does not care about their customers. They simply cannot do their jobs and I now have to suffer the consequences. I have never had this problem with a company before. I am 27 years old, have a successful career, married with a 5 month old child and have 780 credit score. I do not make these mistakes. Do not use AT&T if you are considering it. Go with anyone else.

Horrible Company!!! SO I upgraded my account due to At&t having a promotion buy one 11 Pro max iPhone get one iPhone 11 free and also added 2 lines to my contract so for that rep advised I will get another iphone8 free. So I then received only 2 devices the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 8 but missing the iPhone 11 pro max. So after a few days I called At&t to find what was the delay. Then I get that according to their records I never ordered it. Meanwhile that was the main reason of me upgrading my account and rep told me, "Oh in order to get the deal you will have to redo the order, pay taxes again and return the first order. So I am like, "Great. You guys screwed up but then I have to pay twice".
So I agreed and paid for corrected order and the rep was specific that when the corrected order arrive to send back the original order so that the account match so it was just what I did. I sent both devices back on as the rep told me to do to find out until this day they have not received the devices and they have been returned since October 2019. I have proof receipts tracking information photos. I even contacted their 3rd party warehouse where supposedly they process the return devices and when I called the first time they advise me they received the devices and gave me a Newgistics website to track the information they provided me so I did and it shows that they processed and received the devices.
Meanwhile every time I call At&t including OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT CUSTOMER CARE due to me filing for a dispute the rep there still not being helpful and basically told me, "Well we can't find the device so we have to charge you". SO UNPROFESSIONAL! How I did my job as a loyal customer for over 10 years and somehow am I being held accountable for devices that between the post office and At&t warehouse lost then they want to now charge me for it absolutely unbelievable and for those customers that are having issues I highly recommend to report At&t to the BBB and proceed with Legal actions. How a multibillionaire company try to steal from middle class customer and pretty much call you a liar over the phone when you have all of the proof that the devices were return.

I've been dealing with an AT&T issue for well over a year now and their customer service is so terrible that I have no idea how they can legally operate this way. Basically (and this has been confirmed to me by the their Loyalty Department) an AT&T employee can offer you ANY promotion regardless of whether or not your account qualifies, and though you have been promised a certain rate, you will not be billed accordingly, and there's nothing you can do about it other than cancel your service.
My boyfriend and I signed up for a family plan because we were promised "Free Internet for Life." It sounds too good to be true because it is! Though multiple employees at every level of the chain (retail store, customer service, loyalty department, mobility department) have promised me that this promotion is valid, I have continued to receive bills. Each time I call to try and rectify the issue, I am told a different story about my account. It literally makes me feel crazy.
There is absolutely no consistency or communication between departments, and the customer suffers. Even when notes have been placed on my account by an employee promising me my promotion, the next person I speak with acknowledges that they see the notes, and that I've been promised this promotion, but that the offer "was never valid". Multiple employees have acknowledge the lack of training, understanding of promotions, and poor customer service, and even then I still don't get what I was promised. Literal Liars with Terrible customer service. STEAR CLEAR!!!

In the store with son had paid off phone. So for his birthday, we were doing the buy one get one free. Well, we were told if my son did not like the VQThin-40, we could return phones. So, my son was made fun of by his friends who had Apple Iphones, bc he was unable to mms message with them, basically mms/iphone shamed. So, we went back to the store, and the clerk who originally helped us and said we could exchange the phones to the iphone 10XR said, no! The clerk then told me instead of a $35. restocking fee it was a $45. restocking fee. So, I returned both phones, and was promised that the new phone number would be automatically disconnected!
Then, I went back to the AT&T store to see about getting the buy one get one free. They would not speak to me. So I went to another AT&T store location. Well, to my surprise, my so-called disconnected, discontinued number was still on my AT&T plan. The man said to me, he promised me that I still get the buy one get one free for the iPhone 10XR! So, I went ahead and stayed with the number, and to my sweet surprise, I am now paying for 2 phones!!! 2 iphone 10 XR's, $799.99 x 2 = 1,599.98 plus our monthly AT&T Unlimited Extra (SM) plan. Monthly charges, Surcharges & Fees, Government Taxes & Fees... AND, I did pay a ton of money taboot at the AT&T Store.

I have been an AT&T customer since 1998 and I have never been more dissatisfied with the service or lack thereof.. Last Sunday (4/4), I went online and placed orders for 2 iPhone 11 PROs. For some unknown reason the transactions were flagged as potential fraud and cancelled. On 4/8/20 I called AT&T customer service and tried to reorder. However, I was told I would have to purchase at a store and provide government ID to verify identity. I argued that this was impossible since all AT&T stores by me were closed. I requested to speak with a supervisor to sort out the problem. I finally was transferred to a representative that overrode the fraud hold and ordered one of the phones. However, the order was incorrect. I asked for a phone with 256 GB, she placed an order for 64 GB. I have called her back and left messages, but she has failed to return my call.
I have spent all of today (4/9), trying to get the order cancelled. However, my efforts were to no avail because the order was being processed. Even though the phone was not yet shipped, the order could not be stopped! This is very unfortunate because if the warehouse had been contacted earlier in the day, the package with the wrong I Phone 11 Pro could have been intercepted. It was not scanned for shipment until 5:02 PM.
I had been making phone calls since 10:00 AM. I work in logistics and the package could have been located and my order cancelled. The fact of the matter is, every AT&T representative I spoke with kept telling me what could not be done instead of looking for a solution. Very poor customer service. In conclusion, I am receiving the wrong phone through no fault of my own. Then I need to return it and wait until the return is processed to replace a phone that is no longer working properly. I probably will not be continuing service with AT&T. The effort on my part has been too exhausting.

I immediately called 8:03am for 33 minutes to find out that you weren’t opened yet. So I waited until 9:18am Eastern time to call back again, was on hold to connect with someone for 26 minutes, I thought that was bad… That was nothing compared to what I have to tell you later on, but in the meantime I saw there was a chat option; unknowingly it was not even for AT&T but it was for Enjoy; the delivery service, which told me they don’t have my order and I have to talk to AT&T.
So back to calling AT&T I go; 04/03/2020 10:12am, spent 1 hour 45 minutes on the phone and they told me “no everything is fine with your order and it will be shipped out tomorrow between 12-2” even though I told them that I received an email stating there was an issue, they rushed me off the phone and said everything was fine and that Enjoy now is to blame for that email and they are the reason for the hold up. For me to be on hold for that long just to rush me off the phone like I didn’t matter. 11:53am I called Enjoy, the hold time was only 7 minutes, thank goodness; I was then told I needed to call AT&T port department because they are now holding up the process.

I call the porting department at 11:31am for 49 minutes now and they told me they have no records of my order and I need to now call Online Ordering Support. 4:55pm I called Online Ordering Support, could only stay on the phone for 37 minutes until I had to get off the phone in order to make a phone call for work. 5:40pm I spent 1 hour 32 minutes, spoke with Donna (**); she told me that there was something wrong with my online order and she needed to cancel it and place a new order. I said fine, but will that be a new credit inquiry? She said no, they’re going to use the existing one and I agreed to do so.
We go through the whole ordering process, then she lets out a big sigh “We spent all this time doing this and now you have to give a $800 deposit!” She then asked if I previously had to and I said no. She said she’s going to have to call me back. 7:21pm she calls me back (24 minutes) and said because of the previous online order and now this one; the system thinks I am buying 6 phones and is making me put a deposit down for that reason, it needs 24 hours to clear, I will receive an email for the canceled online order and she will call me between 1:00pm and 2:00pm the next day (04/04/2020) and she also gave me her number and if she didn’t call me that I can call her. I agreed.
04/04/2020 I checked my email, didn’t see cancellation email. I checked the status of that order online and it still states that it is existing. I waited until 1:13pm to call Donna, no answer and full voicemail. 1:16pm I spent 1 hour 46 minutes with a gentleman, explained what happened the day before and he said let’s put a new order in (which he didn’t even do right; wrong phone and he put in charges for activation fees). Again I asked if this will be a credit inquiry, he replied the same answer; no, they’re going to use the existing one, I agreed once again. We put in the order, he then tells me a whole different scenario then Donna: $900 deposit for 1 phone and I have to pay out right for the other 2. I then explain, again to him; Donna said she canceled the online order but did not, the system is thinking that I’m buying 6 phones (what Donna told me).
He then said, he can’t do anything about it and he’s going to transfer me to someone to cancel that order and then he can force it through. I get transferred to a guy that tells me he doesn’t know why I’m talking to him, he only handles completed orders and sends them out to be delivered and I begged him to find someone that can help me and he said “if there’s nothing else I can help you out with, thank you” and hung up. 4:29pm I spent 55 minutes, but this one was the WORSE! She answered, I explained what happened and she said “oh no, Donna shouldn’t have told you that, that isn’t true, you have bad credit” and told me that each time I placed an order I put in a new credit inquiry.
I’m at the point of so much frustration, I begged; a grown man begging for help! Please find someone that can just help me, then I begged, please just cancel that order because it was never canceled. She hung up on me. 6:44pm, 13 minutes while cooking dinner; I gave up. 7:45pm, 27 minutes during dinner; I gave up. There was another call in between that I spent over an hour on that I lost in my call log. All this while I was working on 04/04/2020. I spent more time on the phone that I finished working before getting a hold of someone to resolve this. 574. This is how many times I called Donna today on 04/04/2020: 1:13pm, 3:03pm, 3:14pm, 3:30pm, 3:48pm, 4:29pm, 5:10pm, 5:26pm, 6:16pm, 6:44pm, 6:58pm, 7:38pm. And she NEVER called me as promised.
Total time I spent on the phone with AT&T: at minimum 574 minutes! That’s 9 hours and 56 minutes! And most of the time was waiting on the phone, when I got to speak to someone they rushed me off the phone so quick like I didn’t wait over an hour just to talk to them. Like my time isn’t valuable! The worse part is that no one cared, no one put in any effort to find out why this is happening and what or who can help me, they just rushed me off the phone, transferred me to someone else; that isn’t even the right department or person to talk to just for them to transfer me yet to another wrong department or person to talk to and they all have one thing in common; they blamed the person I talked to before them, like they were the hero! All the information I have is from me doing my own investigations. If this is you idea of a first impression you should be ashamed of yourself.
After all that time I wasted, I still have no official orders in good standing, the only correct and existing order that’s still in is the one that I did! Which I can’t even get canceled and refunded, I have 3 credit inquiries. Nothing was resolved, nothing bettered my situation, I regret thinking of switching to AT&T and now I wasted time and money. But it’s still not over, I still have to spend hours and hours calling back in to cancel my first order to get my money back. I feel like I’m doing more work than AT&T employees. I am extremely frustrated and will share this feedback with all social media and forums.
AT&T can defame Verizon Wireless all day by saying they are false advertising their coverage and speed, and they are more expensive, but never ever have they ever treated me the way AT&T has.

All I wanted was to get the $300 12 month prepaid plan on my BYOD and port in my current cell number. What I got was a sim card I couldn't activate online or by phone and hours trying to get a person on the line just to transfer me to another place to hold longer, which was beyond my patience. I then tried ordering a second sim card with the $50 prepaid plan, since I was never charged for the first anyways. I followed the instructions on the packaging to port my number, which was to call 611 from my activated phone and ask them to port.
Everything was fine with this process until I spoke to someone on 611, which told me that, since the SIM was already activated under a new number, I couldn't port the old number. He said the only way to port my number now was to pay for a second activation, effectively getting double-charged. Since I just wanted my phone working, I accepted this and was finally able to get a sim activated with my transferred number. It seems to be working well now, so think the phone service works well once you get it, but getting it can be an awful process so I'm giving two stars overall.
AT&T requested a review from me. I wrote one detailing this story and my review was not posted the first time, because I mentioned prices and that customer service was mentioned in the review. I removed the prices. I didn't remove mention of customer service because how can you POSSIBLY use this product without needing customer service?

In January 2020 I overpaid my bill, by adding an extra 0 on the end of my payment paying roughly $2300 vs the $230 that I owed. I called on 1/17 and asked them to process a refund. I have since had to call multiple times at least 5-6 and I'm told a different story or policy each time. I've received 4 different confirmation numbers. I've been told multiple time frames to wait. First it was 5-7 days and it would be deposited in my account, then I was told to wait another 21 days, then on another call I was told that I would receive a check in the mail by 3/21. I had to call AGAIN on 3/27 and was told that my request was not processed, but they were just deducting from what I owed each month. So essentially, I feel that I was lied to each time I called.
3/27 after demanding to talk to a supervisor the girl on the phone finally took my bank information and said they would process, and I should see the money in my account in 3-5 business days. On the 3rd day I checked my AT&T account. The credit had been reduced again due to the payment cycle. I called and was told the request wasn’t processed because they were waiting on additional information from me. They transferred me again to accounts payable where I was told they needed my bank account information. I told them I already provided that and she then told me it would take 10-14 days. No one there seems is know what their policy is. I asked at that point to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold. No one ever got back on the phone. I waited for 20 minutes and finally hung up.
I would cancel services immediately, however getting someone out to my house during the COVID-19 crisis is making that difficult. At this point I firmly believe they have no intention of returning the overpayment and think it’s fine to let the money run out each month. The customer service has been appalling. At this point I'll be opening a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and trying to get a new service provider as soon as possible.

This is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with in my life. I decided to shop around for a new phone and considered leaving Verizon for a cheaper service. Well, you get what you pay for. I ordered my phone after they told me what my new bill and phone payment would be. I was so excited, until about 4 hours later when everything started going wrong. I noticed in an email they sent me the price was triple what they said I would be paying per month. After speaking with 3 different agents I decided it was best to cancel my plan before it even started. That took 48 hours for someone to be competent enough to carry out.
As for the phone being shipped, not ONE agent was intelligent enough to understand how to cancel an order. They told me to call FedEx to cancel myself. I did, and they said I was unauthorized and that AT&T had to do it themselves. 4 days after the purchase of this phone I had yet to receive it or cancel it. They said to just accept the package when it comes and return it to a local corporate AT&T store. Spoke to 3 different agents to verify this information and all said the same thing, even provided me with stores that were in my area that would be able to process this return. Drove around for an hour to all the stores just to be told they can’t make the return for me and I had to ship it back!! My account was “too new” and the only way they could make that return is to open the phone and activate it. Which then they would HAVE TO charge me a restocking fee for opening the package!
The manager at the Merrick location was an unhelpful jerk needless to say. Finally returned it and they’re still charging my account after all is said and done. This has been the longest most frustrating week of my life dealing with this company, speaking to so many unintelligible agents, one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing, all the transferred phone calls and indirect responses have been more than enough for me to write a review to save someone else from this headache. I don’t know how they are in business this long to be honest. Still dealing with this nightmare, praying it all ends soon after they receive the return. Can’t help but waiting for something else to go wrong though. The worst. Don’t bother.

On March 17, 2020, I learned that my AT&T service was interrupted after I tried to make a telephone call. My auto-payment was successfully completed on March 16, 2020. When I contacted AT&T, after an extended wait time to speak with a representative, a representative eventually answered and informed me of an 89 cent (89¢) charge on my bill for an international call that I did not make. The representative did turn my phone back on and credited the 89 cents (89¢), but my service should not have been interrupted over 89 cents (89¢) during a Covid-19 pandemic.
I informed the representative that it was completely IRRESPONSIBLE on the part of AT&T to interrupt a customer’s cell phone service during this Covid-19 pandemic over 89 cents (89¢). Especially, after companies are working with their customers due to the pandemic. At the very least, AT&T should have sent me a text message validating the call before taking such drastic measures and interrupting my service during this pandemic. Currently, my mother (a senior citizen) is here visiting me. Thankfully, we had no emergency where she needed to contact her doctor. Thankfully, my daughter, who is a flight attendant did not need to contact me for any reason.
I then requested to speak with a supervisor and of course that did not happen. I was then told that I would receive a return telephone call from a supervisor and that DID NOT happen either. Bottom line DO NOT expect AT&T to offer its customers any extended assistance during a pandemic or crisis. They turned my cell phone service off over 89 cents (89¢) and did not think enough of me as a long-time customer to give me a credit for the inconvenience or give me a call back from a supervisor after I requested that the call be escalated. All I received was a completely scripted response from a customer service representative.

I ordered a new device the iPhone 11 and iWatch. A rep walked me through the entire process. I gave them my personal info, credit info, as well as had to answer specific credit profile questions I would only know the answer to. I was approved for my products and they were to be on the way in 3-5 business days so I thought. Unfortunately I never received my products because AT&T did not explain to me that once they took all my information, all my credit information, and the funds for the order, that there was a "Back end verification". Following this back end verification, I knew nothing about, I received an email in the middle of the night stating that I had cancelled my order lol... But of course that was the furthest thing from the truth
AT&T had cancelled my order due to the fact that their back end verification detected that I was attempting to send my products to an address that did not register on my credit profile. For the sake of all the scams that take place I understood the logic. However, when I reached out to the fraud department and spoke to a manager he began to explain to me my address issue. And that "If I said I was who I said I was" they would have not have cancelled the order. The question then became how was this manager able to speak to me on my behalf without even knowing who he was speaking to? In other words he was disseminating my information not even knowing if he was speaking to me or not, so his logic behind why I was cancelled even stumped him.
Not only did I suffer an inquiry to my credit score, I was told I would be deemed only good enough to qualify for only prepaid services, My order was cancelled, then on top of that all the money came out of my account on Mar 13 and I still haven't received my refund when I was told 24-48 hours. It is still pending on my account as I wrote this review on the 18th of March.
I would just like to warn ALL people who may be spending money with AT&T to be prepared to have your order cancelled if there is anything found on the back end of your account. You will be charged for your account that you will not receive products for, they will hold your funds for 72-96 hours before releasing them back to you after they say it will only take 24-48 hrs, they will hit your credit, then they will tell you on top of all of that you have won the grand prize of only qualifying for prepaid services for life without any way to prove otherwise. Basically all in all I felt criminalized by AT&T all over something that should have been a simple process of verification. Instead of being given that dignity, I was stripped away from that right by AT&T and do not recommend spending any minority dollars with them, as this is profiling at its best. But since there is no true definition of racially profiling, they will say it's not but we all know better.

I was quoted a new plan (we have a discount for my sister because she is a nurse). Weeks later we get a bill that is higher than ever! Come to found out many of the agents were clueless that ONLY Emergency responders discounts work on unlimited plans but not the nurses discount. They refused to honor the discount even with email proof of the plan change and quotes. We have been with this company for almost 12 years! Tell me AT&T, why is an emergency responder higher up than a nurse??
