    Diego was helping me today about removing a wireless plan from my Apple Watch. He was very blunt and kept putting me on hold. He said there was no way to remove this until I paid off the watch- but he acted like he didn't really know. He wouldn't even give me a discount on my activation fee. He made corny jokes and was not funny. Thumbs down. It's a no for Diego.

    Just remember they don't tell you your time is up to renew. If you have money in the prepaid account they will just take it and put 0 in your account.. They take your money. They're crooks. Where is consumer protection..

    Have been on hold for so long! My husband talked with customer service for over 5 hours! Wasn’t given the plan that was offered, even though I had an email stating the promised plan. Store employees, including manager, didn’t want to help. They just sat at a table, talking while my mom and I fix the problem.

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

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

    I was no longer in contract. My phone and Ipad were paid off. I called. Informed them I want to cancel my account. I get a bill in the mail showing I was automatically signed up for an ipad service because I canceled my phone. Even though they informed me my ipad was paid off and I never had any type of service with them through my Ipad. I spoke to a manager. He told me if I don't pay the bill it will go to collections. That there is nothing they can do. They scammed $134 out of me because I no longer wanted to use their services. AT&T is a huge corporation that after researching is known to do this to their customers. Beware!!! Never again. They should be shut down.

    Worst wireless service I ever had. About 7 months ago I switched to unlimited wireless with ATT, my first bill was way more than I expected. On December 19, 2018 I cancelled my subscription and switched to T-Mobile. I kept getting bills from ATT for 6 months after I cancelled the service. I spent over 40 hours on the phone with customer service trying recancel the service. In May 2019, I got a bill for April, I ignored it and they sent it to a collection agency. I still today don't know if the service is cancelled. Extremely bad customer service. T-MOBILE is a thousand times better.

    Account set up was a total lie. We were told that we would get a first responder deal and lower our cell phone bills by 1/2 vs. Verizon. That was lie #1. They stated they would close our Verizon account and take care of account by getting this on special new phone. Lie #2. We were told we had to turn in our phones to get this discount on our new phones. Lie #3. Our bill was split which caused us to be unaware of the higher rates we were now paying. We are now stuck with a very expensive phone that is actual crap. If you can use any other company than AT&T I would suggest that.

    We switched to AT&T, had no reception and cancelled within 5 days (grace period). We have been going back and forth, getting hung up on, switched from person to person. They are charging us around $200 for 4 days of service. We did not get new phones, we kept ours. Every time we talk to someone they seem so confused. I don't mind paying for 4 days of service but that does not come out to $200.

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

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

    At&t is the opposite of user friendly. I initially opened my account in a business name. What a mistake and hassle that turned out to be. A few years later I asked to have it put in my personal name, which they said they did, however a few yeas later found out they never did that, so they said they would take care of it, but never did. Because of all this mess, I cannot access my account online at all. I just lost my phone yesterday and I cannot get any help online or from the rep I called, they make everything so unimaginable difficult!!! Please do yourself a favor and select another carrier.

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

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

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

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

    I have Wireless set up as my internet service & it was a nightmare as soon as it was set up. First of all, I went to a retailer to set it up - huge hassle & they did not understand what they sold me into. Lots of big promises & little truth. I ended up with HUGE overages every month, my $50 bill quickly became $180+ each month and I had no way to limit or pause usage. Finally I gave up and called to cancel the service after 2 billing cycles. Then I get a bill for $100 after my service has been cancelled & I paid my final giant bill. I called AT&T to fix this issue and they refused, they gave me half off of their own error. Even though I cancelled their service they are claiming it was a new billing cycle. Will never use them again.

    So you know who is the worst? AT&T. Back in college, I bought U-Verse internet with them. They set a record that is still held to this day of 22 phone calls in order to get my service up and running. Well, I had to drop Boost Mobile recently and find a carrier that actually gives me a signal literally anywhere. I can't afford Verizon, so AT&T it was. That was 10 days ago. Today, I got my first bill. They are charging me double my rate without my permission. When I called to ask about it today, they told me they refuse to look at my bill because I'm suspended. "Why am I suspended?" They hang up on me. I call back. "Why am I suspended?" Click. I can't call back. They shut off my phone.

    I call from my girlfriend's phone. Why am I suspended? IT fails to get basic information about my phone pulled up for 30 minutes. Tells me that they are doing a full update of my account and that they will call in an hour. I tell them I want to cancel service, and they hang up on me. I get a call back. Still no service. They deny my account ever being suspended. Tell me I need to talk to engineering because nothing is wrong. "Cancel my service. Now." "Absolutely," they say. They transfer me to a closed office. Their office hours are over. I spent all four hours of my free time getting AT&T to accomplish nothing. A direct quote of my Facebook post since I want everyone knowing how much AT&T ruins my life.

    When I moved recently we chose AT&T for TV and internet, the salesman who came out talked me into switching my phone service as well. He told me that not only would they give me a new phone but they would reimburse me for the early termination fees. They haven't. I got a partial reimbursement after much work and irritation on my part. They didn't just want a copy of the final bill. It had to be worded a certain way. Once I got that straightened out they started sending me postcards and emails saying they were cancelling the gift cards because they didn't have the right information; this has been going on for two months.

    I still haven't been reimbursed for the larger amount, over $600. Now I have to go to an AT&T store and get a copy of a receipt to send them. They apparently are not allowed to contact THEIR OWN STORE to get the information themselves. It's ridiculous!

    Early November 2018, Nick ** (The manager of the Arnold MO AT&T store) talked me into a contract which included TV, Internet, Free HBO, FirstNet, and two new phones with unlimited service. Nick advised all this would be only $210.00 a month (Including all the taxes/fees). Each month my bill was $300 plus. I would bring it to him at which time Nick credited my account to bring it down to $210.00. After several months of this I returned to the store at which time I was advised Nick had moved to the High Ridge AT&T. Additionally, I was advised my bill would be $300.00 a month and I was stuck in a contract.

    I later learned I was paying $15.00 a month for HBO and I was never signed up with FirstNet. I have attempted to make contact with AT&T (Via email, phone, and Facebook) and have not received any contact back. I was later told by an AT&T employee that Nick is still a manager at the High Ridge because he makes the business money. AT&T can turn their heads to the things this manager does because he makes them money??? A manager who I trusted. A manager whose morals are supposed to represent the AT&T business.

    I called several times to inquire about the level of wireless call/data/text coverage in Mexico. I have a Mobile Share 40GB plan. The text says that I can call, transmit data and text in Mexico, but does not specify details. I called several times and got different responses from the customer service folks. Some said Mexico is not covered and wanted to sell me additional coverage, some others said it was partly covered and only two said the correct thing, namely, it was fully covered to the amount of GB my plan has. I detect both a lack of training, as well as negative training specifically geared to lie, cheat and steal. AT&T is gearing to provide advanced 5G technology, and I hold significant shares in the company. I feel very irritated and disillusioned when I deal with their Customer Service Department.

    I have been an AT&T customer since 2007, longer than some of the Call Center Employees. When you make changes to your account, things get REAL MESSY and the call center likes to throw around the word "Pro-Rated" a lot when explaining the additional charges. AT&T alleges to record customer calls - so why can't the issues be a quick fix. I was PROMISED a discount of sorts by an agent a few months ago. When the discount hit my account in the amount of 68 the VERY NEXT MONTH, I was charged 109.00 and 110.00 alleging "You were not charged for data." My phone bill is 211.00 per month TO INCLUDE DATA, less 68.00 DISCOUNT is 143.00. Since merging with Time Warner, AT&T has this CREATIVE billing going on. WHAT'S WORSE each call center agent seems to have a polar opposite understanding of the one before. Calling EACH OTHER liars and STUPID.

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

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

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

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

    So AT&T people came to my house trying to sell internet service which I already had, so the girl asked me who my wireless provider was. I had T-Mobile. She offered gift cards, bill credits, and books S10s to switch. I did only to find out the gift cards were significantly less than what was promised, there were no bill credits, and the bogo was only 50% off. When my wife and I tried to address the issues with customer service we were told that those sales people who showed up in AT&T shirts and had authority to set up service were a third party and there is nothing they could or would do. Shame on you as company for allowing these types of business practices, what ever happened to integrity. Anyway will be canceling to go with a different provider, please don't do business with these people for your own good.

    It is impossible to get support. The phone isn't working, so my elderly grandmother, who refuses to use her cell phone, can't get any service support. There is static instead of a dial tone or voices. The only options for support are based on calling them or receiving an 8 digit code VIA PHONE even though the phone isn't working. The only number they have on file is the number that doesn't work. And now, the support service department is done and I keep receiving an error message about it being down online. I have no idea what to do with the company.

    Wireless service bill over $500. Was told it would be $200 max. After adding lines was told activation fees would be waived and they were not. I have called week after week with no help. My first bill was $550 dollars. Was offered to have $30 dollars waived. Outrageous charges. Horrible service. I was transferred to seven times twice to the fraud department. I have spent countless hours on the phone disputing the charges. My dispute was denied but I was never notified, then service was disconnected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One more time I called back and an hour and a half later I was sent to India call center where a hardly understandable CSR answered. This time I request a US based supervisor and again the CSR became abusive but this time transferred me back to the beginning of the call queue where the computer asked you questions so I hung up irritated to try again the next morning.

    The next day when I called I was transferred to a US based call center and I requested to speak with a supervisor and was promptly told No. I then told them to cancel the 3 phones on my account. The rep put me on hold for 30 min and came back to tell me I was cancelled and hung up on me. As it turns out the service wasn’t canceled until a week later 4 days into the next billing cycle and AT&T is trying to bill me for the entire month I did not have service. I called again to get the situation resolved and was told tough their policy is to bill for the whole cycle even if it’s for only one day.

    So we switched back to AT&T thinking we were safe. Boy, we were wrong! We were told we were getting the buy one get one plus half off another phone (all iPhones) with the unlimited plan. We are roughly 7 months in now, paying full price for every phone, the plan price is not what it’s supposed to be, we have no WiFi calling, no hotspot service & the amount of dropped calls are ridiculous. We have called several times to try and have this issue fixed, but no... they really do not care about their customers.

    The response we are always given is “Well whoever signed you up for this service lied to you about what you were getting and what you would be paying.” Oh okay, so you just let your employees do this, then say it’s not your problem? I’m not paying $350 a month for this crap when it’s clearly a rip off. My bill should not be anywhere close to that price, especially for only 3 lines! AT&T has proven they are the biggest scam artists out here lately & it’s insane how they take no responsibility for their screw ups, including shutting our phones off when the bill isn’t even due yet then charging $40 a line to turn them back on, plus the bill & whatever other BS fees.

    I contacted AT&T to establish service and was promised multiple times I would pay sales tax on a iPhone XR. I contacted AT&T to establish service and was told my application was approved. I went to process my payment and agent stated my application was kicked out of the system. The agent stated I could go inside a store and someone would be able to access the same application over the phone because I stated that I didn't want my credit processed again.

    I contacted another agent at a later time responding to an email on 05/12/19 stating I had to verify my email for paperless billing for a new account which I did not aware that was open. He stated that I qualified for the new service promotion where I would pay sales taxes on 2 iPhones XR devices. He stated that in order to continue with the promotion I would have to process my credit application again. I stated that I did not want to process another application because of the previous application on file and I didn't want it to affect my credit score. He assured me that he would push the application through the system and it was once again denied. The agent provided me a order number and said go to an AT&T and provide the number to an representative and they will honor the sales taxes promotion.

    I went to my local store on Eastchase and the representative advised me that they do not honor over the phone promotions and I would have to again run my credit to see the in store offers. I was told that I would have to pay a 500+ deposit to get 1 iPhone XR and I would have to wait 30 days to add an additional line. He advised me that I would have to wait 30 days before I could upgrade to the iPhone XR and pay sales taxes. He stated he would discount 40 dollars off of my account for the inconvenience. No credit was applied to the account.

    I contacted AT&T on 06/08/19 and was informed by multiple agents in the loyalty department that once I made a payment of my past due then I could upgrade my and add another line. I originally had a payment arrangement scheduled for 06/14/19. They stated I wouldn't be able to continue with the upgrade and adding a line today unless I paid the past due balance.

    After I made the payment I was transferred to the sales department which the sales agent told me I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until August. I was misinformed, mislead, and under the impression that I would pay 275 plus tax on 2 iPhone XR. When I asked for corporate information it was not provided until I stated I would get the information from an escalation manager. I've been provided false and inaccurate information from every agent I spoke to. I spoke to someone from the president's office who only offered me a credit for one month.

    I started a telephone/internet service with AT&T late last year. By April 7, 2019 it was clear to me that this company offer a mediocre service. The internet disconnections occurred on a daily basis, movies were difficult to watch due to buffering issues, I could not connect the system to my surround sound (the company technicians could not either), navigation of the system was cumbersome. I terminated that agreement prematurely. I received an e-mail stating that since we terminated the agreement after the billing cycle had started they would charge the whole month though the account was cancelled. I paid and shortly after they charged more for the cable part of the deal. The total paid was $658.94.

    Never in my life have I experienced anything like this. Trying to get answers for the charges was nearly impossible as my telephone calls were directed to different departments that had no answers for my questions. I personally do not recommend this company to anybody. There are other companies that offer better service including better customer care. Trust me on this one.

The representative who took my call spent most of her time advertising AT&T's wireless and cable services aggressively. She asked misleading questions about what I would like to know and kept trying to get me subscribed to services that I do not need. I do not know if AT&T has trained its customer service representatives this way to make them sales agents instead of providing the services to address its customers' need. Such an agent may be able to sell some products, but the customers will realize later that they got cheated. To me, this is really bad for the reputation of AT&T, and it hurts the business as well. Any customer with an experience like this would have difficulty in trusting the representatives.

    We were told by ATT our bill would be $160 for 4 lines. We had ATT over a decade ago and switched for their crazy fees, but thought we'd give them a try after they assured us that that was the set price. We asked time and again and were even told since we were long-time ATT tv customers, we could have some of the start-up fees waived. Activation and getting a card for bringing your own phone is outrageous, but we let the first $350 bill slide. However, the next bill came and was around the same, so I started investigating. Again, I was told that these were start up fees and would go down the next month. It went down to about $235. Apparently, they charge you a fee on top of a family plan, so the $160 also comes with a $35 charge to use it, or something to that effect, and then you have the outrageous fees and taxes.

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

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

That went fine for a while then all the sudden my bill went up about 100 dollars for no reason. I called to ask why and they gave me the run around and gave me another promotion. Then I called about another issue and the rep cancelled my services by accident. He said he fixed it and nothing would be turned off and everything on my account was back to normal.

    Well fast forward about 3 weeks and my receivers were tuned off.... Of course I call customer service and was transferred SEVEN times and not one of those people could help me. I then wanted a supervisor and was mad enough by that time that I told them to just keep them turned off and I'd return my equipment. I was told I would not be charged a disconnect fee since I'm not the one who disconnected it but not to my surprise I was charged on my next bill. I then have to call and fix that and it's been a nightmare. They said I owed it and basically get over it. Not to mention I was transferred another 5 times.

But lately, I have been having a horrible experience with ATT customer service especially removing a line from my account. I have several lines for my business and I had to remove a line. And upgrade another one from Galaxy Note to a XS/MAX. But after I canceled the line, I found out that the one line was never removed but instead it was added to the upgraded one. So now I have Two lines on one device which they refuse to correct being that it's their Error. Bill still shows as if I never removed it, it shows as if I have two XS/MAX.

    Anyway, you cannot talk to the same agent ever again. They pretend to take notes, they kept me on hold for long periods at a time just to drop the calls on purpose so when you call back you have to start the story from scratch. Very inconsistent with what agents say, one says one thing, another totally says the opposite. Called again after call was dropped (customer retention department). "Sorry we can't help you to fix the problem remove line," they are trying to get me more lines with no reason (asking if there is anyone need a phone), the service is horrible. I'm thinking to switch to a different carrier. Don't be an ATT customer! They are horrible. 06/03/2019. I hope we have a better relationship with Sprint or Verizon???

    I've recently resubscribed to AT&T internet and DirecTV bundle. I'd had both services before but allowed my DirecTV service to expire. I maintained internet during the expiry period. AT&T charged me more each month than what I should've been charged ($60 vs $50). When I chat online with a customer service representative for almost an hour, the representative essentially told me I was being charged the correct amount. I was able to locate my service agreement on AT&T's website after the chat session, and the agreement showed plainly that my monthly payment should've been $50/mo for internet. This was in Sept '18. I'm not sure why I didn't just give up on AT&T then, but fast forward to Feb '19 and I re-subscribed to Directv. I've had nothing but issues since. I continue being charged each month, more than what I was quoted.

    Additionally, I'm being charged a $9.25/mo late fee if I refuse to pay because I'm being overcharged. I was charged for a partial month for movie package promotions which I'd canceled and AT&T wanted to refund only a partial amount of this payment. Hold up! The promotional items were supposed to be free until 5/5/19. I canceled on 5/4/19 and you still want to charge me a partial payment. I arrived home today 6/3/19 and AT&T has suspended my service. I'd refused to pay until they correct the billing errors.

    After being on the phone with a representative for an hour today, who told me she was going to see HOW THEY COULD honor the amount quoted, I disconnected the call. I have documentation of every transcript, every service agreement, and keep track of every time I call.

    We added Direct TV and Watch TV after being customers of ATT for years. I will not go into detail but it has been five months and we still cannot watch HBO on our program. Talked to every department possible and promises made and promises broken. Promises to call us back and no callbacks. Every time we speak to anyone there we have to explain the problem over and over again. No one writes anything down? Last time was today. Promised to get a call back by 7:00. Called back at 7:30 only to find out they closed two hours earlier. No one can fix this problem after five months. We are strongly considering to cancel all services and plans and switching to another company. If you are considering ATT, DON'T.

    Spoke to 4 agents in an effort to switch from DirecTV to Uverse TV. Their systems don't communicate. If your account holder for each account is different, good luck getting them to do anything at all. There's no consistency across agents. One will ask for one set of information, another will ask you for something entirely different. This makes navigating the process insanely frustrating. They'll ask for your phone number every time but never actually update it in the system. I'm honestly not sure if it's sheer incompetence, a conscious effort to make switching or changing services different, or a combination of the two but AT&T customer service and the system they use are bottom of the barrel bad.

    I have been a ATT customer since 2001, and I used to love their customer services. So I never thought of changing my phone to a different company. But lately (since last year, 2018), I have been having a horrible experience with ATT customer service especially removing the lines from my account. I had several lines for my family members and I had to remove a few lines when they moved to a different country. But after I canceled the lines, I found out the bill still shows those two lines. Anyway, it happened again now. Hard to remove lines, they are trying to get me more lines with no reason (asking if there is anyone need a phone), the service is horrible. I'm thinking to switch to a different carrier. Don't be an ATT customer! They are horrible.

    I have been an AT&T customer for now almost 14 years. I have 5 lines with them. I spend an average of $450/month. Be careful with their taxes. There is a plan price that increases substantially after taxes. Also super careful if you travel internationally prices are high. Customer service is horrendous. Spend for 1 to 1.5 Hrs on the phone in each call. Always different agents or departments. They cannot follow up with a problem, nobody will ever call you back.

    You can not talk to the same agent ever again. They will take notes, find a resolution, the day after you realized they did not do anything on what they agreed and when you call back you have to start the story from scratch. Very inconsistent with what agents say, one says one thing, another totally the opposite. I returned a phone that they sent me in error. That phone is lost in transit and I have all the tracking numbers and tickets proving I sent it and even so they made me pay for the full phone. So avoid AT&T and get a more transparent company. They don't care about their customers.

    Be very careful when it comes to cost. ATT complicate billing statement to trick people who wouldn't pay close attention to their bills. This is one of the trick - they charge data package 1 month ahead plus prorate currently month on the first bill, I raised question about the charge and they promised it will be refund after contract ended. Two years later when contract ended, I contacted customer service through chat messages. First, the representative kept telling me the charge already credited, I asked him to tell me when and where it credited, he couldn't tell me and transferred me to a supervisor. Then the supervisor ended my chat message. Also, if you have a phone trade in promotion program, pay attention to see if they'll give you the credit or not. I had to contact customer service to get the credit applied to my bill because they did not include it for me.

I yes put phone on pay plan ok so that's $30 a month plus $45 for plan charge. So how in the heck did it got from $75 to $118 dollars. Yes this is how so 45 plan 30 phone payment, so the rest is taxes and something they say is a fee to use services. This shouldn't be allowed. Isn't that why we pay the plan price.

    We switched to AT&T about 18 months ago because it had better service at our house. At first, we were pleased with the service and had no problems. Then, we went into the store for a phone question. When we were there, we were asked if we wanted to switch to auto-pay to save some money. We agreed. The next bill was $40 more and then the next bill was $70 more. When I called both times, I was told that there was a glitch and somehow now our bill would be more. I asked to switch back to a hard copy and get our old price and that was not allowed either.

    SEVENTEEN hours and counting later, speaking with various supervisors over the phone and via chat, I still do not have answers so we are in the process of switching service providers. Be aware that when you do this, AT&T will lock your phones even though they are paid off and not allow you to switch them to a different carrier for around 4 days.

He states that we can just upgrade an eligible phone. I found out later that another line had indeed been added - did not open the phone. Sent the phone back to AT&T - tracked - they got it on the 30th. I talked to someone on the 8th - everything will be credited back on the 15th. I talked to someone today - the previous basically lied. OH and you are lucky you sent it back within the 14 days otherwise you would not get credit back and would have to keep the phone and line.

    I ended up just paying $180 because it was going to be turned into collections. This is after about 6 hrs on the phone with at least 10 employees and 4 managers each of which told me I didn’t owe the money - there was a pending credit that will post after the next billing cycle. Then after 3 cycles the credit never posted and got the notification it was past due and going to collections. The last manager I talked to said there was no pending credit and I had to pay it. She would not be doing anything else. Every call had a routine. The first person transferred me to the unified department and they would transfer me back to the department that sent me to them, I then ended up in the U-Verse department even though I never had U-verse. Then I would go to the billing department and finally ended up in the customer retention department after 45 minutes and no one could ever help me.

    I even went into 2 stores only to be told by several different employees and 2 managers they can’t really help - they are just salespeople and would have to call the same phone number I did, which I made them do both times. At the end of the day it’s unfair to the consumer because there is no logical outlet for us. They will turn it into collections with no dispute and have negative impacts on our credit score and for me it's just not worth that.

She agreed it was an overcharge & assured me I owed one more payment & my 30 mos commitment would be fulfilled. On May 13, 2019, the overcharge was still present on my bill. I made another call to ATT & the CSR told me ATT charges were correct. He said it was due to the fact that I was behind 2 payments in 2019.

    When I argued that I was never behind on a bill & proved it, he changed the dates to the 2016. I didn't even purchase a new phone until December 2016, so that proved him wrong again. After 20+ minutes of me being accused of wrongdoing & back payments by the rep, and myself proving him wrong at every turn, he left to recheck my bill & hung up on me. I never pay bills late or miss payments. ATT is overcharging on iPhones via their installment plans. Watch your bills! They get a negative in the star ratings as far as I'm concerned.

The tech even told me that is what happened. Whatever they did shut the whole house down when the only thing wrong was no Wi-Fi on my phone? But, my real complaint is the bill I received for my son's DirecTV in the house he rents from me. We cancelled the DirecTV and returned ALL of the equipment via UPS about 6 months ago. Just last week I was sent a bill from System which I assume is a collection agency for $51.66. If I was not told this was owed, how am I supposed to pay it? And if all the equipment was returned, why is there an amount due? He has nothing else in the house? The inefficiency is unacceptable. I would like an explanation.

ATT turned off my access to view the bill or pay online. I had to call in and they said the other rep lied to me and I have to pay. To never have to deal with ATT, $35 was worth it even though they were stealing. Then the rep said it costs $5 to pay them.

    This last year in particular, I have noticed a dramatic decline in the quality of customer care with At&t. I’ve been with them for almost 20 years and am ready to leave. When the replacement phone they sent me, through the insurance plan, had a defective camera they charged me $300 of which was returned back to me after 1-2 billing cycles, but when they received the damaged phone. (I’m my opinion, there’s no excuse for that.) Then, 2 months later, after the $300 was returned (because they received the phone), they decided to charge me the full amount of the phone (around $750) and stated that this was because they received it after 20 days from when the claim was filed.

    Mind you, I received the phone from them 7 days after the claim was filed, used their return label and mailed the damaged phone back the next day. So now, hit with a $1000 monthly phone bill, the representative tells me that I am responsible to pay the entirety of my bill and that he is now placing an investigation to review the case-but sees that At&t accepted the phone. I asked him why I would be billed this amount since they have the phone & I am bringing the error to their attention BEFORE my bill is due, and his response was that it will take them 7-10 days to review and refund the $ back to me. Absurd! Let me add that I also was placed on hold for 1 and a half hours to speak to “one of the managers” and finally just gave up. Horrible horrible horrible customer service.

The hitch was I had to activate a second line and get a second phone number. I attempted to make them, AT&T, understand that I don't need a second line nor a new phone number. After much frustration, I wasn't successful. I was able to find out that I could cancel the new line and number within 24 hours. Had Best Buy hold the phone for me to pick up next day.

    Paid full price for the phone, $249.00 Had it connected, up and running. LOVE Best Buy experts. Came home, called AT&T to cancel the unwanted service. Was told it was cancelled and would not be on my billing. Received my next bill, services for second line and new number remained on my bill. My area code is 386, the unwanted new number area code was 787. Spent two and a half hours on the phone to get this corrected.

    While on the phone, waiting for the supervisor to authorize the credit, I asked about the 100 (not sure what the correct letters are for download speed). Download speed was not working, I do a download test all different hours, it's never more than 55. I was told the 100 is ONLY A RANGE. It's not a guarantee. I also noticed that I was not able to support four devices on at the same time. Which I was lead to believe would not be a problem with 100 download speeds. They also slow the bandwidth, supposedly, at various hours. I've seen my bandwidth slow at peak hours. How can they advertise 100 speeds and not deliver? This is false advertising in my opinion.

    An Agent Misguidance Has Cost Me Time and Money. Overall, the last year has been a nightmare. I am forced to call AT&T every month and spend two hours on the phone to get a $29 credit for a BOGO phone. My contract began as a business plan where I received a BOGO 7 Plus. When I closed my business slightly over a year later, I asked an agent if I could move to a consumer plan, while keeping the same guidelines of business contract. “Absolutely!” Was the agent's response. Little did I know I’d spend over 50 hours over the next year fixing my cell phone bill monthly and telling the same story over and over again. Never an apology and never taking responsibility for their own error.

    As a former business owner, I would never expect to be treated like my time, money and business isn’t worth it, but that feels like how AT&T has chosen to operate. At my wits' end yesterday, after my monthly 2 hr call of getting nowhere, I went into an AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He said he’d escalate the case, get back with me, and the same old mantra I’ve heard every time over the phone. The notes on my file from phone agents read like this over the year “Do not credit this woman again”. Yet, I am sticking to a contract I signed and abiding by it. I should not pay for the misinformation I was given and guaranteed it wouldn’t be a problem.

    I have until Oct. 2019 until this nightmare and this phone is paid off. Not to mention, I wanted to pay the phone off a year ago, but couldn’t since they’d want a double payment for the phone that suddenly I started being charged for after my business account went personal. Customer agent Christopher ID #** (or at least that’s the information he gave me) was one of the rudest agents I have ever had to work with yesterday, and trust me, I’ve dealt with well into the 100s at this point.

    As soon as this phone payment is over with, I cannot retain my business with a company that treats their own mistake as one that a customer should pay for on my days off I both time and money. I am beyond insulted and disappointed in this company. When you have a problem, even a measly $29/mo one, honesty, integrity and ethics does not need to go out the window. Shame on you AT&T.

    My May 2019 bill was $7 higher than usual, an 11% increase. When I reviewed the detailed bill I saw they switched me from a 3GB data plan to a 6GB. I checked emails and my AT&T message center and found that they had never asked or advised me of this change. I called customer service; after discussion they agreed to return me to the 3GB plan but said I would have to pay the current bill for 6GB. I refused; the rep put me on hold for a few minutes and then came back and offered a credit to reduce the current bill to the correct amount.

    I told the rep I wanted the person responsible for the unauthorized increase to be fired. She said it was a "system" change that affected everyone. I told her the increase should be rolled back for everyone and the executive(s) responsible should be fired. Obviously, she could not respond to this. Think about this: An extra $7/month or more affecting millions of customers is hundreds of millions in no cost profit for AT&T. I'm sure the executives who approved this plan will be receiving huge bonuses. They should be fired and maybe jailed; this is obviously unethical and likely illegal.

    So I went online to unlock my phone so I could move it to another carrier. The AT&T device unlock web page said the phone could not be unlocked and offered no explanation or recourse. I had to call customer service again; the rep had to open a "case" to get it unlocked and needed a reason, so I told her. After a several minute wait I was told it would take 2-3 days. I asked why; AT&T had no problems adding me as a customer within minutes when I first signed up. No answer. It's clear to me they want to make it as difficult as they can to move to another carrier. I can get a better data plan with the same coverage at half the price with another carrier, so I'll be cancelling AT&T. I hope everyone else does the same and they go out of business.

    I just talked with AT&T about a change in my wireless bill from 1 GB Rollover to 2 GB rollover this month without my consent. It appeared on my bill as a $9.55 change THEY made on March 29 without my knowledge. Their explanation was that the 1 GB Rollover rate plan had retired, and so they changed my plan to the 2 GB Rollover. The person told me that AT&T had let customers know about this. I was NOT informed of this. She said she would change me back if she could, but this was their new plan.

    It's a strange thing to me that a few years back, I called to see about reducing my bill. I was paying almost $300 for a low GB plan which the rep told me had expired a long time before. They didn't bother to let me know that information when I was paying them $300 a month. I asked why they didn't tell me of this, and the rep did not know, but I asked to be taken out of that high-priced club! Otherwise, I'd probably still be paying that price today.

    I am so fed up with this company, and I let them know how I felt. Of course, they just give you the "so sorry" spiel, but something needs to be done about this injustice. We, the consumer, have no say in this company's will. They do whatever they want. Surely, AT&T is breaking laws! They said they let us know of this plan change, but if they did -- they did it in fine print. I never saw it. The bad thing is --- they have a conglomerate in my area as there is no real alternative to internet. Cable is unreliable -- I've been there, and I just need wireless and internet. I cut the TV cable this year (another fiasco mentioned in another of my reviews) -- Fed up with that too. Not going with any more dishes. I have one already that I don't need anymore, and AT&T didn't want back either. What is this world coming to. God help us!

    Left Verizon for AT&T because of price. AT&T said that our bill would be about $100 bucks cheaper! Was that a Joke! The first 8 months of service with AT&T our bill was $50 more than our previous Verizon bills so we had to complain every month for it to be decreased to the monthly price they promised. Within months they said prices went up so soon we were paying more than we had been paying at Verizon. Also cell service was horrible, dropped calls, bad connections, etc. We told them we were very unhappy and felt we had been lied to and duped. We broke our contract with them 3 months early. Soon we were back at Verizon with our AT&T phones swapping them out. AT&T would not release the phones (which is to be expected) until we ran over to AT&T store to pay the ENTIRE AT&T bill plus the early termination fee over $2500.

    End of story, NOPE! For the next 3 months we would keep getting different fees and bills from AT&T that they said we owed so we paid them. One month later I brought in my IPAD to Verizon which I bought from Verizon (had service with them) before we left, brought IPAD to AT&T (had service) and now bringing it back to Verizon for service, was told that Verizon couldn't not hook up the service because AT&T had a HOLD on the IPAD. I spent 2Hrs at Verizon talking to AT&T, and the fraud department (me and Verizon staff) and no one could figure out why AT&T had a hold on it. I was assured that I had no outstanding debt with AT&T or any other issues. So they released the HOLD and Verizon was able to add my IPAD on cellular package. Guess what! Within 2 months I had another bill from AT&T and within the week a letter stating that they are putting my account into collections.

    I tried to call AT&T to dispute this latest bill and they refused to even listen to my story. I asked for a supervisor and was told that the supervisor would not talk to me because they couldn't do anything. For 5 months I called every time I received a bill and was told that I was paid up, I had zero balance but I would get another bill the next month! I wrote up a dispute letter and did not hear a thing from them for 3 months until I saw that this alleged bill was reported to the credit bureaus. AT&T has horrible customers service, horrible cell service and devious accounting practices. Beware!

They lied and said they were updating towers then said I needed a booster which I had to pay for and since I was a prepaid customer I didn’t qualify for a free boaster. But when I went to cancel my service the guy said the boosters were free!!!! Then I went into the store. They did want to help so changed to Verizon and called to cancel service and they just took a 45.00 payment from me two days ago and said I am not getting a refund since I signed a paper agreeing. But I didn’t agree to getting crappy service with it but that doesn’t matter! Avoid AT&T especially prepaid. All they care about is the money they get and the lies they can keep feeding you!

    I signed up for a "12-mo." internet promotion which included an additional $5 off for switching over to autopay.

Now, on my 4th month of having to call, I’m being told the promotion is over and that they will no longer be honoring the promotion I signed up for initially!!!

    My account still says that I have a “internet-monthly recurring charge adjustment for -$5 (After, of course, having to call two months ago to have it ONCE AGAIN “switched back over” to the autopay promotion.) I understand it's only $5, but it's the principle. The customer service has been terrible and the rep on the phone this last time was rude and even raised his voice. I never, ever write reviews or complain or ask to "speak to the manager" (still didn't in this case) but this particular situation has me furious.

    I have been an AT&T customer for more years than I'd like to admit. Decades, actually. After today's attempt at cheating me, I may finally leave them. Specifically, I called to ask if they have any senior plans similar to T-Mobile's--thus the agent knew I'm a senior (which too many ill-minded people think can easily be ripped off, unfortunately). After the woman responded that they had no equivalent plan she said "your plan says you're eligible for a free iPhone 6s." I asked why would I want to downgrade from my iPhone X?

    We talked, and based on answers to my very pointed questions, she promised me she could send me the phone "at no cost to me" except sales tax. When I told her I'm in a no tax state she confirmed (after supposedly talking with her boss) she'd send the phone at absolutely no cost to me. I asked if I had to activate it or if I could keep it as a non-activated phone. She confirmed the latter. So I said, "Fine, send me the phone." A short while later I got an email which had a link for me to confirm the "order" (which was not an order--she promised to send me a free phone, period).

    In reading through that email, if I agree to the shipment, they will activate my phone automatically in seven days, billing me $499.99--hardly the "free phone" that need not be activated the agent promised she'd send me. There were further points in our discussion which assured me 100% this was purely a gift, not something I'd have to pay a penny for, but I won't detail them all here. Rather, I'll be on the phone with AT&T Corporate tomorrow to find out why they're allowing their call centers to try to scam long time senior citizen customers. Beware!

    Just cancelled wireless (April 2019) because went to add a line (line #6 on account) and they said I had to pay an unpaid DirecTV balance from my wife's account in 2014. Despite the fact she got new DirecTV service in her name later that year... Don't you think if there was an open balance, DirecTV would have made her pay before getting new service? Therefore, we are now AT&T free! You know AT&T stands for American Telephone and Telegraph - that is the type of equipment their customer service still uses - one designed for telegraphs.

    This is not for a specific AT&T location or product - rather for the company's overall customer service. Below is a letter I have sent to the company.

    I am writing to you after repeated issues with my accounts and the terrible customer service experiences I’ve had over the last few years. To begin with, my wireless account number **, was linked to another account ** by one of your service representatives. The representative decided to link these accounts a few years ago when I started U-verse services. The set up of my U-verse services was a mess as well (installation person never showed up, the account was set up incorrectly, etc.) - but I’ll skip over the details of that experience. Ever since the accounts were linked, I continued to receive paper statements for my wireless account - even though I'm enrolled in paperless.

    The problem was - the wrong account number was showing up when going into the 'manage paperless billing' page – since it was linked. I learned that the customer service reps would encounter the same issue. I spent an exorbitant amount of time on the phone and on chats with your representatives in an attempt for them to resolve the issue. I was told on multiple occasions the issue would be fixed – to no avail. I dealt with this for years and nobody was able to de-link the accounts to simply allow me to receive paperless statements. Recently though someone finally took the initiative to help me – it was escalated and they delinked the accounts and created a new one for me – **. This took over 2 years.

    Since I received a “new” account and received yet another paper statement for this, I examined the statement very closely and noticed I was being charged for state taxes and fees outside of the state I just moved to (I had previously lived in CA and IL). I called about this on 4/27/19 and spoke with a representative named Leah (not sure of the spelling), she said her ID was ** – she wouldn’t give me her last name and rambled her ID off very quickly- purposely I’m sure. She was extremely condescending and almost argumentative in telling me that it’s the fault of the customer if I did not go online to update my area of service.

    So I have been charged fees for states I do not live in. She offered me a $25 credit. I asked to speak with her supervisor, a woman named Tina who essentially carried the same tone and contradicted her own explanations by saying it’s the responsibility of the customer to update “area of service” online, separately, because not all people use the same area of service as their billing and mailing addresses; and then a minute later said, she cannot explain why the systems do not automatically sync up when the billing and mailing addresses are updated – implying that this is what should be happening. Tina went on to tell me that since I decided to “decline” the $25 credit that Leah had offered (I never declined anything – I simply asked to speak with a supervisor), she can’t give me anything now.

    So I’ve been charged almost $700.00 worth of state taxes, 911 surcharges for a state I no longer live in… and it is apparently my fault for not updating this in AT&T’s systems. This is what was conveyed to me. Given the experience I’ve had with the linking/de-linking, managing paperless statements, installation setup mix-ups due to AT&T systems – I question if the ‘area of service’ just wasn’t correctly updated/synced up, even if I had updated it myself. I’ve been an AT&T customer for decades, but these experiences with your customer service have prompted me to consider another wireless company. I know I speak for many people who have experienced similar encounters with your customer service representatives and services.

    I am a AT&T wireless customers in Palmdale, California area. I purchased a screen protector film for $49.99 +tax compare to $3 to $10 Amazon and eBay. AT&T told me that this product is lifetime warranty. So once I bought the product I went to the manufacturer website www.gadgetguard.com to register. Within 60 days it started getting cracked, I have pictures and video. I contacted AT&T, they pointed their finger to www.gadgetguard.com. This bad company does not even have a customer service telephone, all by email and website.

    They asked me pictures of the phones along with the imei# on the screen. I did everything they asked. They said my phone is not crushed but the screen guard is bad. They wanted to help me if a have totally damaged phone. I went to AT&T wireless store in Palmdale, CA. They kept telling me that they don't manufacture, I told them, they are making profit on bad items, that contract must end. I usually buy under $10 average $5 but they last forever. An agent assisted me to request a replacement guard only, they charged me again $10 which is equivalent to a purchase. They said the $10 is for shipping.

    This is just to share a good story of consumers spending with big corporation like AT&T. Anything happens they tell customers to contact www.gadgetguard.com. They are all bad. I requested refund with gadget guard, they told me to go back to AT&T store I ended up paying again $10 for just a plastic film. It is so cheap online with eBay and Amazon, they last for the life of your phone. I urge consumers to watch themselves when it comes to mobile phone accessories, AT&T could hurt them, and they don't get their money back. Now I ended paying nearly $65 for a plastic that I usually come in 1st class mail from eBay.

    We have had AT&T cell service (or companies they sold and bought from) since about 1989 -1990. At the time there was only one store in downtown Portland. We are snowbirds and have trouble sometimes with the timeliness of our receipt of our statement. Such has been the case this winter. Last month when I called, they were kind and reversed a late fee. I paid on the phone with the representative, so they would have the money plenty early. I was not told there is a $5 fee for paying on the phone. I called today and they will not reverse that fee. I hung up and paid our bill including the $5 fee, through our bank.

    The result will be: We will be getting new Apple phones when they come out this fall and will go to another carrier. AT&T does not want our business anymore. I do not blame the representative today, but the policy. Also, I should have been told last month there would be a fee.

We can't even get help for internet, because they keep sending the tech back to CA, instead of our new location in Texas.

    We spoke to at least 20 supervisors in the past 10 months and each and every one of them promised NOTHING! Now, they screwed up our internet bill and said that we asked to "unbundle the service" and that's why it's higher. I spent 3 hours over the phone yesterday, being bounced back and forth from one person to another and at the end, NOTHING was resolved and the call was dropped at least 3 times.

Recently, we discontinued the service with AT&T on March 6, 2019 and called them to pay remaining due since we could not access the account online anymore. The customer service person said that they cannot email or fax a bill but a paper bill will be mailed in a week or so, but we never received one. So, I called them again after couple of weeks requesting them to email or fax us a bill itemizing the last month's [February 2019 till March 6 ] charges. The customer service personnel said that her manager is going to email me the bill and so, I paid over the phone the amount she calculated as the due amount. However, I never got the bill which I needed to get a reimbursement from my company and so, I called after a few days to inquire.

    The customer service gave me a different quote and said that more money is due and still refused to send me a bill. I ended up talking to one of the two managers briefly. He kept me on hold for a prolonged time and finally disconnected the service. The second manager will not even come to the phone but relayed the message through a customer representative that I should go to a store to print out a bill. They cannot provide me with one but they need me to pay for the bill without itemizing the charges! Finally, after spending several hours on phone with them, one representative promised to send the bill but the bill I received did not itemize the February month's charges and did not deduct the amount I paid.

    All managers were hopeless... After being with AT&T for so long, if this is the way they treat their customers, who would ever want to work with them? Our family decided on the spot, that we would never want to deal with them ever again. The managers were extremely rude and demanded money without showing proof of what the charges are for...very unethical and unprofessional culture for the management since all managers were showing similar behavior....

    I'm unsatisfied with AT&T due to the fact that there was not a verbal explanation on exactly how the unlimited plan worked. Based on my knowledge if you have unlimited you have unlimited - not that it tops out at 22 gigs. Due to my job I use a lot of data - high-speed data at that - and when my phone slow down at 22 gigs and wasn't able to work because of the internet being so slow that created a problem.

    I called customer service. Customer service told me that I needed to call back and ask loyal customer service representatives to raise my gig up to 30gigs so that I can have sufficient data. So I did and the representative wanted to upsell me another $50 on top of my bill already for more gigs. She was very rude, aggressive and was even telling me to quiet down when I was trying to explain to her what the situation was. The representative was very rude to me and told me that if I wanted to have more gigs I was going to have to pay more. So I gave her a verbal explanation and how that is misleading the customers based on their plans on unlimited high speed data. I finally got the chance to speak and she told me if I wanted more high-speed data I was going to have to pay for it. So we went back and forth on how it wasn't right that I'm going to have to pay more for something that I've already should be getting.

    This is completely totally unfair. I'm paying $150 a month for one line including my phone. The representative was Indian, was very aggressive and was even telling me to be quiet when I was trying to explain to her the seriousness of my situation. She told me if I wanted more high-speed data there is nothing that I can do other than pay more money so that I can get it. I told her that was completely unfair and I will be canceling my line after my 30 days - credit or no credit - it does not matter. AT&T will not be treating me like crap or in lying to me about their unlimited plans when there's really not unlimited. There's a lot more detail to this unfortunately I would write a whole essay.

The case is still pending for review. Each time we called AT&T service representative tries to sell something else, so we ended up having two simultaneous AT&T TV services (Uverse TV and DirecTV). After 3 months we found out about double billing. All of those for the above BOGO and which is still not resolved. So far we have been given 4 different case numbers and each time we contact AT&T they say it is pending resolution.

    I work for a large company in the Mailing Services. We received a package in the mail from AT&T without a person's name to whom to deliver it to. When I called AT&T to confirm who it goes to, they were unable to provide me with this information without a phone number and the last 4 numbers of my Billing Account number. With me being in a company of over 400 people, I was unable to provide this information. The only thing I had was the Order Confirmation. I could provide them with the WMS Order #, Invoice #, Your Order #, Customer PO#, or the Ship ID #.

    They refused to accept any of this information and told me they could not help me without the phone number and Billing number. If I had that information, I wouldn't be calling AT&T, EVERYONE knows how long you have to wait to talk to an actual person through them! After a loooong 40+ minute phone call neither Cheyenne nor Tiana were able to assist me and I still don't know who this $200 package belongs to??? RIDICULOUS AT&T!!!!

    I've had ATT for more than 10 years. I had to call them to fix my billing every month. They were always trying to overcharge me. After two to three years of having your mobile device it becomes unsupported and does not work right forcing you to buy another cell phone. I had to switch mobile companies because my blood pressure was going up. Now that I'm with a different carrier my blood pressure is good.

    I recently paid off the phone. I was on the Edge program which gives you the opportunity to "Edge UP" after 1 year to newer phones. I chose not to, kept my phone - Went in months later with an OWNED phone, and decided to purchase a NEW phone, did not turn in old one kept for back up purposes. Now being charged a $30 UPGRADE Fee. I did not upgrade, I didn't use the Edge program, I purchased a new phone. This is another case of Bologna charges from a company about to lose another faithful customer. Back to Verizon looks like my entire family goes. AT&T you should be ashamed of charging customers this fee when they didn't upgrade, Service did not change - Products didn't change - NOTHING from you changed or upgraded. I purchased a NEW PHONE.

They are full of excuses and not take any responsibility for the service that they are suppose to give to you.

    I have a problem with my data plan. Even when I'm connected on my home wifi they still counting as I'm on AT&T wireless internet. The stupidity of AT&T is so big that the attendant on the phone told me that the only solution for that case was that every time I get in a place that they have free internet that I should or I must turn off my data on my phone. Come on!!! The technology is creating things that you have to turn on and off when it's suppose to do it automatically??? The people that make phones are smarter than that. They are not AT&T.

    Visiting from Canada on a family matter we purchased a $45 One month prepaid plan for our phone. The seller misled us and failed to disclose the essential details of the plan. We needed the ability to provide a Personal Hotspot for our computers. We were not informed that this capability would be blocked in this Plan. We only found this out about 90 minutes later, having driven a further 100 miles south. We called AT&T right away.

    After more than an hour on the phone with AT&T, during which we were treated disrespectfully, and further misled, we realized that they would do nothing to assist us to adjust our plan to suit our needs. We were quite willing to pay any additional cost to alter the plan. AT&T advised us to contact the retailer whom they said would be able to switch plans for us. We did contact the retailer, and he refused and also said that he did not have the capability to change the plan. This was the MOST MISLEADING AND DISHONEST transaction that my husband and I have EVER experienced ANYWHERE.

    I ordered a phone from a retail store. Was supposed to get it on 4/9. Got a text from an agent saying they was going to bring my phone to me. It never came. They called my aunt to make sure it wasn't fraud. She said no. To make a long story short. They need a -100. We stayed on the phone with AT&T for 6 hrs to get the runaround. Nobody noted the account. Wanted to try and help. Then they called me today 4/13 the fraud department and went another 5 hrs on the phone. All this for nothing. Can't get my damn money back. Don't have my upgrade. They sent us to over 13 different departments even to the business department because they knew they didn't know what to do. Now We want all of our money back and will leave for a new carrier.

    I wish AT&T never merged with Cingular. That's how long we have been with this service. Half of the people can't understand English and even one suppose to be superior didn't place us on hold and put the headset down to join the party in the background. We hear the rep say "I don't care about this customer. So what we drinking tonight when we get off work girl." Then must have realized she didn't put us on hold and came back and said I am looking up your account. Please wait. Like wow. Everyone needs to be fired. Whoever is running this company needs to really think about what is going on with the company.

    Now I see why a lot of my friends dropped AT&T for another company. It's a crying shame how sorry they are. Now we don't want the phone and that is just a piece of it. They also bundled up the phone Uverse and Internet into someone else's name without asking us and don't know why they did it. Like what is going on with the company. Now they have a lawsuit coming. None of the agents noted the account about anything. I am in customer service and we would be fired if we tried someone like they have treated us. My aunt and I are so pissed off. That we are suing.

    We asked AT&T to cancel our extra line a year and a half ago. They never did. We pay online every month, we've been customers for over 10 years. Turns out they never cancelled the line. They took $590 from us since 5/2017. They are not going to reimburse us that because we didn't let them know they didn't cancel for so long. I explained that we don't check our bill, it's the same amount all the time and we trusted this line was shut off, the extra line was for approximately $28/mo. Since there are taxes and fees etc we didn't blink an eye since the monthly amount was the same, we just figured they added some fees or what not. As I mentioned, we faithfully pay online every month.

    We caught the mistake when we were searching for a number on our bill and saw the cancelled line was still active. We called AT&T and after a frustration, long and unhelpful ordeal of about 3 months, they denied the claim. Reason? Because we didn't notice and it took us this long to call them. Even though they have documentation of our cancel request from May 2017 that they dropped the ball and never canceled. If you pay for a filling at the dentist, you assume they're going to put in a filling. The only person that offered anything to us was a very nice young lady in customer retention. She gave us 3 months bill credit for the extra line. So $90. I am still a little queasy from all this. $590 of ours they have. This is so negligent, misleading, deceptive on their part. Totally disgusted. If you can go to another carrier do so.

    Last summer (2018) I went to the AT&T store in Line Lexington to check in about the plan that I had. When I first purchased the phone, I was given a table for free and there was a $10. fee for the line. I never used this product the entire time I had it so I asked that it be taken off my bill and he was going to take care of that. I decided this past January to switch to T-Mobile because I had heard so many wonderful things about their plans and service. I switched over on Jan. 10th. I received a bill from AT&T for $30. which I thought was just the end of the cycle bill and I paid it.

    Then a month and a half later, I received a bill for $99. I tried to log into their site with no luck. I tried calling but the prerecorded message was that AT&T had no recognition of my number... And yet I was getting bills? I finally got through to customer service, after 20 minutes, they transferred me to their retention department even though I had switched plans and after another half hour, they said they would take care of the bill. Now I just received a bill for $144. and again spent over 20 minutes with one person and was then again transferred to someone in retention - after another 25 minutes, the man now said the bill was from my tablet _ which I have NEVER used.

    They had no record of it being removed and said the gentleman in their store at Line Lexington would not have had that power to do so. I was told the tablet line would be discontinued but not as of today, as of MAY 5th. He could not give me a reason why it had to be continued and said that my bill of $144. for the tablet could not be changed. This has not only been time consuming but totally frustrating and I want nothing more to do with AT&T.

    Updated on 04/14/2019: This week I received a new call from the Head of AT&T Business Department, "Daniel **", the man I spoke with on my original complaint about the Fraud I experienced. He discovered my Review with Consumer Affairs and told me that "Under No Circumstance" will my complaint ever get past his desk and for me to stop complaining.

    I am hoping that this review will get to the upper management and will put him in his place. AT&T lied to me and committed fraud and should not get away with this. I will continue my fight for my rights as long as I can. AT&T and their representatives committed fraud to my husband and myself by telling us that the only way we could get their cellphone service was by buying from them, the Very Same Model Phones we already owned. They told us our phones would not work and we found out a couple of weeks later that the $1503.09 bill for the same phones was totally unnecessary. We want our money back. And their rep "Danny **" is not going to get away with Bullying us.

    Original Review: We were shopping for a new wireless phone company, when an AT&T representative approached us. He very quickly told us that he could cut our cell phone bill by over $100.00. We sat down to listen and of course was doubled team by the supposedly "Expert Top Management". After an hour of counseling and promises, we thought this might work and agreed to use AT&T and get rid of our Verizons account. They called and canceled our plan, then took my new Galaxy 9 and sold me a different, "Same Phone", but said I needed their Sim Card. Also, sold us a new Galaxy 7, for my husband's card. They insisted we Had To Buy the new phones, totaling $1503.09. Still insisting that our "Same phones" would not work with the AT&T system.

    We learned that all of that was a lie, just to get us to buy their phones, Same Phones, that was not necessary, but made a very nice sale. When I went to their Consumer Affairs Department, their management laughed at me and told me to be more careful about what I bought in the future. This was a very bold and deliberate lie and I intend to take this as far as I can. To everyone that will listen. To the public, in front of their store, to their President, to the Better Business Bureau, and anyone else that I can find. I am 77 years old, and maybe should have paid more attention, but this was really wrong, Buyer Beware, with AT&T.

I was told AT&T could give me a much better plan than I had with Verizon plus I would receive a $15 discount on both my internet and TV service and receive free HBO. The cost of the AT&T plan was over $20.00 less than Verizon plus the other benefits. I fell for it and signed up. Checking my AT&T account online, I could not find the cellular plan I had been sold. So I call the home rep and found out AT&T did not even offer the plan he sold me. I was to get unlimited talk, text, data and calling to Canada and Mexico. No such plan exists. I canceled my plan March 1 and went back with Verizon.

    I had traded in an iPhone 8 and received and iPhone XS. On March 5, the home rep. came, returned my iPhone 8 and picked up the iPhone XS. I have the E-mail confirming all of this. Last week I got a bill from AT&T for $940.61 for the iPhone XS. I called AT&T and was told they have no record of the phone being returned to them. The E-mail meant nothing. I had to have the tracking number of the shipment when the phone was returned to them. Since I did not send the phone back, the rep did, I do not have the tracking number.

    I have called several times to get the tracking number to no avail. I was told by one of the customer service reps during one of my many calls that the phone had been received by AT&T on March 19. The charges still were appearing on My AT&T. It does state the account was canceled March 1. On my next call to customer service, I was told there was no record of the phone being returned and the tracking number I was given by the first customer service rep did not exist. During the first conversation, I ask if she could E-mail me the information and was told they were not allowed to do this. Alarms went off. Every call since, which has been every day for the last 4 days, I have been informed there is no record of the phone being returned.

    As of this writing things still have not been resolved. I talked to a customer service rep today who stated my case was going to upper management and I would hear back from them April 9. This is the worst mistake I have ever made. I had been with Verizon since 2001 and never have had one problem. As of right now I don't know how this is going to turn out. I wrote the Michigan AG office filing a complaint against the home rep and AT&T. If this matter is not resolved when I get the call from AT&T April 9, I am going to contact a lawyer.

    If you are contemplating cellular service do yourself a huge favor and stay as far away from AT&T as you can. Don't under any circumstance sign up with AT&T. They lie, and do very little if anything to help if there is a problem. I was only promised a call on April 9 with a supposed resolution to this problem after I informed them I had already contacted Michigan Consumer Protection Division of the Michigan Attorney General's Office.

So I drove to the store today and my sales rep was not in, so a gentleman offered to assist me. As I explained what the problem was he asked what I wanted him to do about it. I shared I wanted a wrong to be righted. And his answer was "you have to upgrade" and there was nothing else he could do. Why the heck ask the question. Nothing resolved today, going back to the store in the morning to meet with the sales rep who sold me this upgrade. Very disappointed, and ready to shut all my services off, including Directv, U-Verse, and all my cellular services for 4 devices.

    I purchased an iPhone7 and insured it with Asurion at the AT&T salesperson's recommendation because he said they were more efficient than Apple's insurance... My iPhone broke and I paid the deductible and Asurion replaced it with a used black iPhone when I had a white one... 3 months later it malfunctioning so under their warranty, they issue another replacement which turned out to be defective as well and then Asurion and AT&T charged me a $549 non-return fee for the second phone alleging that I never returned it despite the USPS's tracking number showing it had.

    After much back and forth, Asurion finally admitted that they had received the iPhone but that it was up to AT&T to refund me my $549... This was back in September 2018 and since then, I have reached out to AT&T 15 times and each time I am told that the refund is in queue, that someone will call me back, that I will receive an e-mail, that someone will text me at the end of the day and to this day, I have yet to hear back from them or get my $549 refunded... They have the worst customer service and have no follow-through nor do they care about their customers.

    I have been a customer of theirs since 2008 and they clearly do not value my business or the fact that as a result of this they could lose my business to the competition because I have my family's phones with them as well. I recommend you go through Apple and get their insurance plan to avoid being ripped off by AT&T and Asurion. It should not be taking 6+ months to issue someone a refund when the company has had the returned phone since over half a year ago. They just beat around the bush and BS you to hope you go away so they don't have to refund you. I recommend you taking your business elsewhere because AT&T will just rip you off and not care about whether they do right by you or not as long as they get your cash.

Constant overbilling, it took 8-10 calls to get a credit and they were going to charge me a late charge (one Day) when I had Auto Billing... Hours and hours on the phone multiple times with multiple people who all told me it's resolved only to see that that there's yet another bill issues.

    Hello all, So I've been with Verizon for over 10 yrs and been with AT&T with my home phone and internet for 6 yrs. So when I had paid off my phones from Verizon and wanted to upgrade. Verizon didn't have a promo so they told me to wait 'til Black Friday. Instead, I tried AT&T to see what kind of promo they had. AT&T had a promo that was a buy one get one free deal. I thought that it sounded good enough to try and since I was doing okay in my job it wouldn't hurt to give AT&T a shot. So I ended up getting 4 phones. Bought two got two free. Paid for taxes on those phones and some activation fee. Whatever. First bill $520, second bill $220, the third bill $320, and fourth bill $320. I was told my bill would not reach $250. My car payment is $275. It was a joke, they never credited me my buy one get one free credit until I called and asked for it. Which is still pending.

    Also, I've been paying auto pay thinking that I am getting a credit of $20 for doing autopay and am not receiving any of it. I call and there's nothing I can do because the return policy is 14 days. The phone is not the problem the service is. There must be a way to get out of these price gouging companies bad services. At least with Verizon, they had great cell service and you kind of know what you pay for. With AT&T, I have been so disappointed because even at work I have no reception. I am at work all day.

    I call again to see what can be done and they want to add DirecTV to my account for more so-called discounts. I smelled the ** over the phone. I should've known from the quality of internet service I get from AT&T which is slow and complete garbage. I can't wait to be done with AT&T. I was dumb enough to do a 30-month payment plan and now stuck. I've tried to switch to 12 months or 24 and AT&T will not allow me to switch. I canceled my AT&T internet and home phone at least and went with a different provider. Please, someone help!!!!

    On the day we were scheduled to have DirecTV installed an AT&T rep showed up. Turns out she was there to talk us into other services. We talked about wireless cellular service which we had with Verizon for 20+ years at 110/month. She stated they could do much better than that at 70/month for both phones and service plan. Other items that she mentioned was unlimited data plan included, but found that we were put on 3G plan instead. So we thought the inconvenience would be worth the savings and agreed to change. First bill was about $200, next bill was $185. I contacted AT&T rep and she stated first bill is always high, and said she would look into second bill.

    Turns out that the buy-one-get-one phone offer had been missed which was $29 error. I told her the monthly still did not meet the $70 that she quoted and wrote down on the estimate paper. Today I am receiving a wireless bill for $154 per month which is more than what I was paying previously on my wireless bill. They took our 3 month old smartphones and gave up $630 credit toward bill and charged us $850 dollars a piece for new phones (Which we did not need but was convinced they were required). So by listening to what they said we made a very bad and costly decision to change from our previous carrier. From the over 6000+ complains, it appears there are many others told one thing and stuck with unacceptable results. I SUGGEST STAY AWAY FROM AT&T SERVICES UNTIL THEY CHANGE THEIR WAYS!!!!

    We have had DirecTV for years (now AT&T). We had AT&T install broadband wireless Internet and Home Phone in our house last year. DirecTV and the new AT&T service were and are separate accounts; I was told last year by the AT&T rep that both accounts would be combined, which never happened. I keep getting bundle offers which total about half what we pay for all these services. So I call to do that and the rep tells me there will be no discount from what we currently pay. So I declined. What a terrible company.

    As so many other reviewers state, hidden charges. Charges/fees that just pop up, whatever you want to call them. AT&T does this frequently. I was informed of everything with the sales rep when purchasing a new phone recently and starting a new 2 year contract EXCEPT a $45 'upgrade' fee that appeared on my bill. I am sure the 97 page agreement that was emailed to me and needed to be signed by me while on the phone had this fee in small print. It is the fact that they make a judgment call to not mention it since it is WELL over half the amount of any monthly bill. AT&T is not a company that strives for great customer satisfaction.

    Over the years I have had problems such as AT&T giving my number I had for years to another customer without my approval. Billing issues are consistent. My recent experience takes the cake though. Lied about returning the buy one get one free iPhone Xs which were sold to my elderly parents (took advantage of them). This added a bunch of new charges to my bill. Called in to figure it out but no one could understand my bill to help me. I was passed around back to phone queues I had just talked to for over a hour and half. Talked to Supervisors and Managers who did not help. Eventually I had someone who said they took care of everything. They did not, my next bill was over $100 what it should be and they previously owed me another $150 due to over-billing.

    I put a claim in with the BBB and things got worse. Timothy ** added MORE services going from 15 gig to 30 gig without my asking increasing my bill. He credited me $100 which was short of what was owed just to close the BBB complaint. I contacted him again and he informed me that I am forced to pay for a line that has no phone on it and never ordered. I am forced to pay for an Apple watch $10 service that has no phone line attached to it (and I was told multiple times that $10 line was taken off and canceled). Basically he made things worse and did not address any of my original issues, this is their best person who handles BBB complaints. I recently just reopened this BBB complaint but I expect more of the same. So far over 5 hours wasted on trying to resolve this and only ended up getting billed MORE and signed up for more services I didn't order. Super frustrating!

To talk with a manager (Camery **) only resulted in her saying their employee was "misinformed" and would NOT be upholding the offer given. I will be taking legal action if not resolved, especially if a sufficient amount of other people were "misinformed" (lied to). It's time to end corporate abuses.

    If you're looking for a company that'll work with you during hard times AT&T isn't the service for you. They offer a set date that is given by the system. Any deviation from what you can pay on that date will more than likely result in suspension of your services. For example, if you call and arrange a payment of 100 dollars next Tuesday but when Tuesday comes you can only pay 50. If their system can't provide you with any additional time, let's say until Friday when you get paid, your services more than likely will be suspended. Don't give your money to this company until they decide to loosen the restrictions of their payment systems.

    When a provider can stop misuse of what product they are providing and charge customers a monthly fee to let them use an app they sell, they are allowing the robocalls for financial gain. This is a legal problem that can only be solved with lawyers and a class action suit. I’m sure that AT&T charges the offenders to use the system and they charge you minutes/money. Now they want to charge you to stop the calls from the callers (cash cows). The $3.99 a month is to recoup lost funds by stopping the calls. The kicker is the app they sell doesn’t always work. Is that by design or ineptness?

    AT&T is not the only offending provider out in the cellphone world but they are the biggest. It would go a long way in keeping them at the top to provide this service free and then advertise it. Show your customers that you are doing all you can to prevent misuse and the customer base will grow exponentially. AT&T claims to have blocked over 1 billion robocalls. Did the $3.99 a month pay for that bragging right?

He set up my payment to come off in 2 different payments which then he sent me a confirmation email.

Well, sometimes when you set up the payments for Friday they come off on a that Monday after. So I expected this to happen and waited.

    Well, it never came off and now my service was shut off due to their mess up. The only way I could contact them was via messenger on their website. Well, I contacted someone and said now I have to make the full payment to have my phone service restored. I was so upset and infuriated at them.

    AT&T is doing another round of "upgrading" cell phone users 10 GB data plans to 20 GB without the account holder's permission. The increase is about $20 per line a month. This is not an increase in rates, this is an unauthorized plan change. AT&T tried this last year until customers caught on and it was reported to the FCC. The only notification is a generic email asking to review changes. No details, no information, just a link.

    The linked page shows the plan changes with no order number. A real plan change has a order number. When I called to find out about the plan change I was informed that it was done via the AT&T app from my tablet. When I told the agent that none of my devices have the app installed and the tablet hasn't been used in a week, the agent said it must have been an error and changed the plan back. In summary, AT&T is at it again with changing clients plans without authorization.

DO NOT use ATT, DO NOT buy from them or waste YOUR time. Unacceptably incompetent, absolutely THE WORST service and worst experience to date. In-store took over 2.5 hours for the associate to determine/ figure out how to upgrade, what discounts to go with, the phones were not in stock, upgraded to one that was in stock, attempted to ship the second phone to fiance in Ca but the phone never was delivered, returned to sender because they input the wrong zip code.

    Called customer care on Friday to find out what happened, spent 2.5 hours bouncing around from multiple departments; ALL calls transferred to order services are all wrongly routed to the fraud dept and that dept states that everyone's calls are incorrectly being routed to their dept, transferred back to customer and started all over again. ATT sucks astoundingly. Spoke to Nate in order services (who is dyslexic and kept reversing all of the numbers I gave him). Nate said he would credit all activation fees and issue a customer service credit as well as overnight the phone to the correct address.

    A $700 credit “might” compensate for this nightmare of service but unfortunately this experience is the norm when dealing with AT&T and I have no confidence that 1) ATT even cares how bad everything is, 2) ATT has no quality assurance, 3) hires incompetent and in some cases non-English speaking individuals completely inept at serving even the simplest customer issues 4) and no confidence that ATT will be able to provide prompt, courteous, trained and educated service that is accurate and always ends up wildly different from ATT promises.
