    I was having DirecTV installed when two other men showed up. They introduced themselves as "Outside Sales" for ATT. I had just purchased an IPHONE from Verizon and was not happy with the phone, so the salesman promised the following:

    1. surrender the IPHONE
    2. change service to ATT
    3. change wife's phone to ATT
    4. Receive new Galaxy S10

    5. Receive $700 in gift cards to pay off old phone.

    That was in December. This is now March. So far I have received $200 on a promo card that forced me to use it to pay for my first terrible ATT bill. I called the rep who does not answer. I emailed him. He does not respond. His name is RICHARD.I got his boss's email. He does not respond. I went to the local ATT office. They say they don't know him, but I saw him in the back break room a week after we switched.

    I have called ATT who tells me I only have another $250 coming in the mail someday. Why? Because my wife's phone would not work out here on ATT service and I switched her back. I tried to call Richard about this before I switched but no answer. Essentially they have stolen a new IPHONE from me and set me up with a more expensive phone. $1600 total in phones and a lousy $200 promo card. I'm just sick about this. If I get a lawyer, it will cost me more than the gift cards and phone and they know that, so I am down the creek as they say. DON'T DO IT!

    Where do I start; I had AT&T for less than 6 months. My bill has been ridiculously HIGH. I have two cell phones and two wearable watches. One of the watches keeps losing data plan and when I call into technical support they keep changing the watch plan and charging me more and more money. I can't keep up with this bill so when it is time to pay I don't know how much my bill is. It goes from $200 to almost $400. Every month it is something different. I call in. They change my plan to find something cheaper, then they fix the wearable watch situation and guess what – I get charged for changing my plan in the middle of the monthly bill and I get charged for my watch plan making it 5 to 6 lines. I can't cancel because I am being charged $1000 of dollars for the phones and the service fees. I don't like AT&T. They are terrible.

    I went to AT&T on Nov 2019 to learn about their promotions. They sold me on their trade in promotion. My line would be free (I had to file a complaint with BBB to get that line free), 2 more lines received their trade in discounts, but the last 2 lines in the last 5 payments I made has not received their trade in discounts. Danny ** from AT&T contacted me and basically said, "Sorry AT&T can't help you with that." I asked for my trade in phones back and he explained they are now the property of AT&T and said there is no one else above him that could fix it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT&T. BE WARNED. THEY ARE THIEVES AND WILL NOT HONOR THEIR PROMOTIONS FULLY!

    My mom went to get a new phone At the AT&T store on 4th Street in St Petersburg, FL. They (a young salesman) tells her there is a special for seniors, but it includes 2 lines but you don’t have to use both lines. Then she gets a bill for over $200 because they added a line to the acct. They totally mislead and scammed my mom. When I called them they said they could not delete the line. Just awful customer service almost to the point of criminal.

    I am writing this review as AT&T charged me outrageously when I moved of ATT. I have 12 lines on my att account and we were with att for 10 years. We planned to migrate to Tmobile since we did not like the unlimited data plan. My billing cycle was ending on Jan 5th and on 4th we called att and asked that that we are planning port all our lines and couple of lines are on travel. They clearly told that it is okay. Even after your billing end your bill will be prorated so we have migrated all the lines on 7th and 2 lines on 10th of Jan and they gave bill of 480 $ for future months.

    With reference to that we gave a call and asked them what should we do. They got back saying, "Pay off your bill and you will receive the prorated check" and in Feb we received a check of 20$. which is outrageous and we called them again and now they are saying that we have to pay for the whole month even though you used only 3 days of service and only option that they provided was to dispute all the payments from credit card. And when we did they sent an letter in March that my account will be reported to collections. which is literally ripping you off of 480$ for not even using their service. Please be careful when disconnecting

    My phone stopped working a week ago and I was told by AT&T it was broken and I needed an insurance claim to fix it. A new phone was sent to me and my latest bill reflects the charge. I later found out someone was able to access my AT&T service account and get my service switched on to their phone. They used this to open several credit card accounts that led to thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent purchases. It wasn't until I was notified by law enforcement that I realized what had happened. I then shipped the phone back to AT&T because I was told to do so since my phone wasn't actually broken and they are still not taking the new phone charge off my bill. I have spoken with at least 4 different reps today and nobody will assist me, in fact, I was suppose to get a call back 2 hours ago. I have been with AT&T for over 15 years and plan to switch service providers as well as educate others on how unprofessional and insecure their service has been.

    After several years with AT&T, we moved one phone to another carrier and canceled the other phone in January. I received a bill for February. In an online chat with AT&T, I was told it was an error, there were no active phones on my account and to ignore the bill - it would be fixed in 45 days. I printed this entire communication in case it was needed in the future.

    I was again billed for March and for late charges for February. When I called, they said they had no notes in my file about my communication with them in early February and they had nothing saying the second line had ever been canceled, so the charges for February and March for the second line were valid. They were unable to receive my printed copy of the Chat from early February saying everything had been taken care of. In the end, the only way out of this was to pay the two months' service and late charge. The person with whom I spoke was not willing to make any concession or accept anything that wasn't already in my file. I can only hope that this doesn't repeat itself when it is time for the April bill to be issued. I have paid for 2 months' service that I did not want or need, and that I had already canceled. I will never use AT&T for anything again.

    We are very disappointed in having to seek out other venues to ATT to get our situation solved promptly. We are a military family, from which we just arrived overseas to the UK on military orders. Months before moving we called & stopped in one of our att local branches to ask questions & be clear on how we could continue to stay with ATT overseas (since we have been happy with them) But after a conversation with a nice gentleman in California- it was financially impossible to continue service overseas.

    We made a few other phone calls to make sure we would do whatever we could in our power and in a timely manner (very important to us as we were leaving country & didn’t want issues upon landing in UK). ***we are told the process is fairly easy, we call or come in when we are ready to cancel service, before flying & that we would need to stop by to give them our official gov orders when we had received them (we were waiting a while for them) And pay off the remaining balance...sounded easy enough!

    ....Fast forward two months later (and a call here or there in between to ask further questions)... We make a final stop at a local ATT office in Michigan, to make sure we cancel & pay off our phones to be able to use in the UK (once landed and settled) But we find out that is not the case, we were given the incorrect info- we have to call/email another department in order to “start” the process of cancellation (time is of the essence here) So we ask What all our options are as to go about this since we will be flying and may need our phones for emergencies during flight and for our dog flying as well.

    ***he kindly explains we were given incorrect information but that we can activate a $10 a day pass for international use in case of emergencies until we arrive. And that the process would then be to; first, cancel (and would be fairly easy since he included our military orders in our notes so that that would be the first thing the designated department would see) secondly, unlock our three devices and that we would not have to pay the devices off since it is under the military clause.

    ———PERFECT...saving money and time! What’s not to love! (time is of the essence here...we leave the country in 4 days now)...Fast forward 10 days later.... We have arrived in the UK since two Sundays ago...and have yet to be able to reach a representative via email/live chat that can help us with the “fairly easy” process we were promised back in the states. We have sent several emails and copies to this third party handling our military orders and have no way to communicate with our phones since they cannot be unlocked without canceling, in our situation. For emergencies or work related events we are phone-less at the mercy of ATT. We are very unhappy, frustrated, upset that we were told SO many things but nothing has been done like we were originally told many times (& we asked, many times!).

    Unfortunately, we will not be coming back to ATT once we return from our deployment. And will continue to warn other military families of the inadequate customer service and military department of ATT (***which I don’t know why you would need a separate department to begin with- it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read and look over official government orders). Thank you & Best.

    Worst phone plan experience ever!! Be super careful with their extra charges. I was promised $40/line + tax & fee for 3 phone lines. I asked them again and again to reveal any other charges or fees, they told me to assure that everything was revealed. Then I was SHOCKED receiving the first bills. They charges for activation fee $30 each line, and other charges that accumulate up to extra $20/a line from what was promised. I called them and was able to remove activation fee, but not the others. I am now paying $60/a line. Their reps are super nice to explain the charges but still cannot give me a plan as promised. I definitely never ever going to place my trust in AT&T again. Please be aware if you are planning to enroll with them.

    Just want everyone out there to know how AT&T treats customers who have been with them for over 20 years... My husband and I were going to Jamaica and I called and spoke with an agent who set me up with the "International Rate". He assured me that my regular bill would be changed to the other for 1 month and my regular bill would only go up about $4.00 for that period. After that, I would be returned to my regular rate. Period! I asked him 3 times to be sure... And he said yes. Imagine my shock when my statement came and my bill is $330.00!!!! Unfortunately, I did not save the chat with the agent so I have no proof except my word. I have been on the phone for 5 days trying to get an adjustment and guess what.... They gave me a $25 credit. No more! Even though the agent misrepresented the charges, I still have to pay!!?? Thanks for your help AT&T. NOT!! Just wanted to let everyone know... Thanks for letting me vent.

    Been an AT&T customer for over ten 10 years. Last year decided to upgrade phones and by an AT&T employee suggestion switch from my veteran discount to an Amazon employee discount and also to an unlimited plan which made me lose an Amazon employee discount. Was never informed of anything. Because I pay my bill automatically missed that they had taken away my discount. After finding out decided to contact them and they rather lose me as a customer than credit me a discount that I could not get thanks to misinformation they provided me. Always knew I was overpaying for their service. I am thankful for what they did so I am finally moving on to another provider. Something I should have done long time ago.

    My identity was stolen and was used to purchase services with ATT somewhere in Miami Fl, a place I have never lived in. One day I checked my credit report and there was ATT reporting me owing money therefore damaging my credit. This has been in 2018. Of course I contacted and complained about it to ATT and they requested that I show proof of residence which I did. I sent:

    Copy of my DL
    Passport
    Bank statement
    All Police reports from when my car car was broken in to
    Car Insurance info
    Bills
    Copy of checks for rent showing my actual address matching DL

    I even produced receipts for car repairs showing my address

    That was in 2018 and yet and still ATT doesn't want to remove the debt from my credit. I even spoke to one of the agents who once insinuated that I was the actual crook. This guy, Scott **, from the Office of the president.. Oh gosh the man is useless. ATT is useless. I believe this company values and promotes and encourages crooks to harm law abiding citizens. How can you, in one phone call give thousands of dollars worth of service to someone without asking for any actual proof, now the real victim, the one who bothers to show some proof is being penalized. If the crook was treated at least half the way I am, this whole mess would have been prevented. My opinion is: ATT makes it easy for fraudsters and crooks to operate. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

    Very disappointing customer service. We have been loyal customers of ATT for the last 5 years. Initially we had a bundled service for wireless and the internet. We were offered a lifetime service of 70$ for the internet, when 1000gb was introduced for our area of residence. But after a couple of years ATT suddenly decided to separate our bills and we were charged 100$ for our internet. Despite our repeated calling we were refused and just pushed around to separate billing departments. It was frustrating to say the least that we had to spend more than 5 hours on multiple occasions to explain the bill!! Mind you we had not requested ATT to separate our bills. It was on their own whim and fancy and without informing the customer that this decision was taken.

    Finally we had to enroll ourselves in a new scheme to get a better deal for our internet, and we will have to keep on doing so every year!! Last month we were told that we will be receiving a discount of 20$ if we enroll in autopay plus the paperless billing. This would be reflected in the next bill- was the response from ATT customer representative. As expected it was not even mentioned on the bill and when we called we were told that it takes upto 6 weeks to be reflected. To be honest we are just done with Att. They have a lousy customer service and all that is done is pushed from one department to the other. Even if you have your facts right it is next to impossible to get a refund from att.

    In 2017 we had taken temporary sim for 4 months at 30$/month. This contract was supposed to end on 15th of November, so we went ahead and canceled the service well in advance. Inspite of our due diligence and disconnecting service at the right time we were were charged an additional amount of 30$. To this day we have not been refunded any amount. When we called customer we were directed to a supervisor and then another supervisor.... repeating our plight and situation again and again. Totally frustrated. We finally gave up after more than 4-5 hours in the phone. An angry and exhausted customer!!

    Buy-one-get-one, phone promo offered me in an AT&T store in Jan 2019. From the very 1st bill, I've been paying TWO installments. Promo not applied to the account. I am 14 months and 6+ hours of my time (total) into trying to solve this error by AT&T. Numerous visits to the store (where I must wait in a queue), numerous phone calls (placed on hold), endless apologies & promised "escalations" YET... both installments are still showing up on my bill each month. After 14 mo of apologies and "we will fix this", I was told today that the promo was only for $20 off one phone installment. That is a blatant untruth! Bottom line: If you enjoy the thought of paying more money than you should be AND working hours and hours for FREE in an attempt to solve any billing errors that may arise on your bill and then being lied to... well then AT&T is the provider for you!!

    AT&T by far is the worst company for customer service. They called me a liar and would not credit the money they owed me. The trainee in the ATT store accidentally cancelled my insurance and I found out the following month when the bill arrived. We had purchased a new iPhone with an Otter Box so decided not to keep the insurance on that line. The rep in the store cancelled the insurance on the wrong line causing the Tier to go back to start. Now instead of paying $112 for a replacement I was charged the full amount of $225.

    When I saw the insurance cancelled on the incorrect line I immediately called and told the CSR that the insurance was cancelled by your employee but it was the incorrect line. I was assured it was corrected and the tier would be set to the proper amount. It never happened and after 18 months back and forth I have decided to get a new provider.

    IMHO, terrible company as far as customer service goes. The wireless is nothing special in East Denver. Can't talk in the basement like I can with other carriers. I signed up on Black Friday at Best Buy for the $70 plan. Got billed $100 for a plan I did not agree to. Went into an AT&T store off of Chambers north of I-70, sat in a chair literally for 60 minutes before I walked out. Not one word from either employee. Unbelievable to me that they couldn't even acknowledge my presence, much less wanted to assist me. Since no help there, I called AT&T. I spoke to 3 people over 55 minutes, they all took my info, heard my concern, passed me on to someone else, as they could not give credit. After the third time of going in a circle, I hung up.

    I called in 2 more times in an effort to correct my billing. Nope. Nothing achieved. It appears that this company is nothing but a big machine that only cares about getting your money. I was shown that I am not important. I was shown that my satisfaction is not important. Seems to me that AT&T pleasing me as a customer is not important. What was conveyed to me was... You have a problem, so what, you are stuck with it. I vowed 20 years ago to never deal with AT&T as a result of how the company treated me as a customer back then. Thinking that after all this time things might be different. They are not. They are worse. Note to self: Never, ever, ever do business with AT&T again. Ever! That is all.

After many years as a consumer of their services We Switched carriers and terminated service for cellular and forgot about wife's tablet. (Note: tablet had phone number but could not make or receive calls and used ((0)) ZERO data. Monthly cost for tablet was $5.00 Five Dollars. Noticed a $50.00 FIFTY DOLLAR charge on bill after service cancelled and called to voice my concerns, I was informed that the once 5 bux a month tablet now cost 50 dollars a month for some nonsense reason.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and also inquired Who regulates their industry. I was told my concerns would be elevated, my account corrected and I would be contacted. No one ever called. THEN they billed me $50.00 for the second month. Again I called for explanation and got BS from the call center clowns. Month 3 after cancellation and again they bill me yet another $50.00. Again I call, tell them to turn off the tablet that uses no data or cellular service and spend more than 2 hours with the lip service clowns. (WHERE is the exchange of VALUE???) Frustrated I give up and pay their EXTORTION DEMANDS. This was 6 days ago.

    Today I get a letter stating that if my bill is not paid immediately they will turn me over for collection!!!

    After being ripped off by AT&T years ago while on a family plan I should have learned my lesson. They had signed me up for a third party texting service that charged me ten dollars a month to send me a text saying there were no new events in my area. This went on for about 5 months before I noticed. Turns out they had done the same thing to a bunch of other people and lost a class action lawsuit for over 100 million. Although if they stole 500 million then who really lost? I never got my money back and I’m betting a few million others didn’t either.

    Anyway I recently fell prey to their 99 dollar iPhone 7 deal with a prepaid unlimited plan for 45 dollars a month after autopay. Problem is they throttle my data all day long from about 7 am to 10pm at night making it virtually unusable. Most texts don’t go through and webpages will halfway load or not load at all. The tech support gives me the runaround about tower maintenance but this is a lie. I can make calls and have two bars. It is just my internet that is being throttled back to unusable levels. I’ve called at least a dozen times and it’s always the same spiel. After explaining my issues in great detail they still refuse to unlock my phone for another carrier. 170 bucks down the drain.

    Be aware of billing scams by AT&T!! When I started my cellular service with AT&T, their billing was for services going forward, which means that when you pay your bill, it is for services you will use in your next cycle and NOT for services you already used. It is easy to see because when you sign up, your first bill will be for two months of service. (To pay for your first month and to "pre-pay" your next month of service.) But when you disconnect, you will be told the opposite. You will be paying for the service you already used. Yeah, right. It means that AT&T has stolen from you one month's worth of payment, and there is nothing you will be able to do about it. After 11 years, they tell me that they can not go back that far, but when you ask what their current policy is, they will admit that you "pay before you play."

    I have been a customer with AT&T for 11 consecutive years, and I spent at least $25,000 for their "services." I finally switched to Verizon. I get much better service for 1/3 less. One month after I left AT&T, I received a "final bill." I called and complained, and after speaking to four incompetent "robots" that repeated over and over that, I owe money because the computer says so. The last person I spoke to agreed that AT&T billed me in error, and AT&T will send a small refund. I did receive the refund check, and several days later, I received a bill from a collection company. Now when I call AT&T, all I get is to talk to morons that continue to tell me that I no longer owe money because they have written my bill off, and I need to speak the bill collector.

    I've been an AT&T customer for years and never had a bad experience until now. I wanted to add a line and device to my service for a son who lives in another state. I went online and was asked if I wanted a chat; since I didn't know where I needed to start, I opted to do that. I was assured this could be done and that my son would have his phone that day. During well over 3 hours of chats with two different agents, I was told my son could go to the store and pick up his phone. I have all of this in a printout of the chat.

    When he got to the store, they didn't know anything about it and told me to call 611, which I did. I was THEN told the phone would be shipped in two weeks, (on back order) and that AFTER the store received the phone, he could pick it up. The rep basically told me he couldn't do anything about the agent's written promises to the contrary. I canceled the order. The rep at the store, to his credit, told my son he had such a unit in stock and we were able to get the phone in my son's hands that day. Nevertheless, two agents online chat flat-out lied to me in an attempt to make a sale and then the 611 rep refused to back up their broken promises.

    I've been dealing with an issue with AT&T since October 2019. I have spent countless hours on the phone with different customer support persons. Most recently with a lady from retention named Barbara. I switched 4 lines from Verizon (who we had been with for 25 years) over to AT&T. We had an in-home expert (Roderick **). He told me and my husband that when we switched our lines over I would only need to pay my parents two lines off. He also said since I was trading in my phone, AT&T would pay the $650.75 balance that was owed on it. I even made sure to double check asking him “so if I pay my parents phones off do I have to do anything else?” Roderick responded with “nope, AT&T will take care of the rest”.

    The only reason for switching providers was because he told me my phone would be paid off. Why would I give my old iPhone to AT&T if I would still be responsible for the remaining balance on it? I could have sold the phone myself and made more. I didn’t want the hassle….So I gave my old phone to Roderick with the understanding that the $650.75 remaining would be paid off by AT&T. Unfortunately It never was and has since been in collections and affecting my parents’ credit score. I’d also like to mention that I received the wrong iPhone that I had upgraded to and had to wait weeks longer for Roderick to bring me the correct new phone. That is is when he left with my old phone. After many calls with customer support and many tickets opened, this issue is still ongoing.

    AT&T told me to track down Roderick myself and tell him that HE needed to handle this issue. When I finally tracked him down he informed me that he no longer works as an In-home expert and is working at an AT&T store. Because of this he is not able to access my account from that side. He told me to contact retention…. they told me they don’t do that… but to contact In-home experts… the number I got was incorrect so I spent another 2 hours re-explaining everything to Barbara. The very nice lady contacted In-home experts herself… to which they told her I needed to talk to Roderick because he is the only one that can fix this issue. Roderick tells me again that he cannot, and that the old phone has been processed….

    I asked for his boss's contact info, but he said his old boss has since changed locations….so that leads me to Jillian. Barbara had submitted a new ticket (I.C.U) for me and informed me that it would be at least a week until someone gets back to me.... heard that before.... weeks later and still no one has contacted me. Until this is resolved it continues to affect my parents’ credit… something I’m sure AT&T won’t be fixing. However after talking with Jillian she told me "it has been notated that instructions were given to the customer to upload the final bill via the $700 switcher flyer in order to qualify for the credit" which he never informed me about. Nowhere on any document does it state that I needed to contact an in home switch program.

    I contacted customer support again and they informed me that the $700 switcher program ended in June.... So how did I get this "offer" that I wasn't told about in October??? I asked for my phone back and they told me it is now AT&T Property.... So I'm left with the $650.75 bill. I will be switching all 4 of my lines back to Verizon. I also will be canceling my cable and internet that is also with AT&T as well as my parents. Way to cost yourself a ton of money and loyal customers...

    I had been a CellularOne/ATT customer for almost 25 years and have never been treated so horribly. I was traveling for work, having coverage issues to the point I had to pull over to make a customer service call. After I was able too speak to a live att person, I was told there would be a $5 charge for me to make a payment over the phone. I asked for a courtesy payment waiver and was told no.

    When I got home I decided to cancel one of my lines, and have it ported to another company. I then called 4 days later and asked about having my bill prorated for the number I canceled and was told they would not prorate that line. I asked where I could see that in writing, and got passed on to customer retention. I asked the customer retention rep about getting the bill prorated for the canceled line, and was told the same thing, "We do not prorate canceled lines." I asked for it in writing and did not get anywhere with them. After that, I requested that they place a cancellation on my other line at the end of this billing period. I hope they are happy they have lost a long term customer from all services, including 2 lines of service, 4G LTE in my vehicle, and DirecTV.

    I tried AT&T at least 3 times over several years, primarily because I was told that they provided the best service in the area. Each time the results were the same: no coverage/service in the house or with-in a mile. "Customer Support" would default to insisting that I purchase a new telephone, an "upgrade" which would cost considerably more than the telephone that I'd already purchased. The first time I followed the "recommendation" losing my initial investment because AT&T wouldn't accept a return of the "old" phone (purchased only 2 weeks prior).

    On the second such experience, again, with-in 7 days of purchase, the sales person accepted the return of the phone, deducted $35 "re-stocking fee" on my refund & then removed the "SIM" card & handed it back. There was $50 in "pre-paid" fees on the card but I was told that was no-refundable & that I could simply use it "when you buy another AT&T phone". The third experience was an absolute assurance from AT&T that I would have "very strong service" in my area. I spoke with 3 "Service Representatives" prior to purchasing service. Again, no service in my home, nor for about a mile surrounding. I resorted to WiFi service which the AT&T phone would not access. Apparently they blocked such service with-out an active "SIM" & account. I used an old "Verizon" phone instead with no trouble.

    Once the AT&T account had closed, since I'd stopped paying, I was inundated with unwanted e-mails asking me to "return", with all sorts of "special" offers. I had to "block" AT&T from my e-mail account to stop the annoyance. So no, at any price, for no service, for untruths, misrepresentation, I would not recommend AT&T for mobile telephone service.

They would tell me they were escalating the issue and that I would get a call back form that department and never got a called back neither.

    Finally decided to put a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and a representative names Quanita ** called me and basically said the same thing that the customer service representatives had said. I explained to her that this has been going on for months and described everything that we had tried already. I asked her if I can speak to someone else that could help me and she said that she was the highest person from AT&T I could speak to. She told me that her technical support department was going to look into the issue and that I would received a called in less than 48 hours. That did not happen neither!

    I kept calling her and leaving messages and after a week went by she finally returned my called and said that there is nothing they can do for me. I asked her to release me from my contract and she responded that my only option was to pay off my phones and and find another carrier. I'm so disappointing that after years of having me as a customer that is the only way she can think of on helping me. I asked for another phone and she also decline.

    I was a Verizon customer for 15 years and I switched to AT&T. When my two year contract was up AT&T deactivated my line without notice or a late bill, still charged me for service, and assigned my number to somebody else. I now have to use my new number to make a text list to my numerous contacts over the last almost two decades and let them know my number has changed.

    I got onto a new plan with my new spouse and she also switched from AT&T. AT&T had charged her full price for her phone payment for over four years when the phone was only supposed to be paid over the two year contract. Essentially, AT&T had my wife pay for a phone twice. No refund or credit was offered when a Best Buy mobile associate discovered this.

    I know "all carriers are the same", and they all have bad reviews, but I rode with Verizon for a decade and a half and never had anything like this happen. Verizon called ME when my two year contract was up and let me know they could save me half on my phone bill. I went without a contract with them for close to five years, and since I was young I had a few months where I was late paying. They only once deactivated my line, and when I went to reactivate they waived the reactivation fee and gave me a credit on my account for the two weeks where I could not use their service. Do not do business with AT&T. Just because all of them are bad companies, doesn't mean that one isn't the worst. AT&T is the worst.

    This is to update my review of AT&T Wireless on 2/7/20. My next bill was finally corrected from $112 to $75 for the second billing period. I may or may not stay with AT&T. I'll make final decision after I get my phone unlocked in March.

    Original Review: Feb. 7, 2020

    I bought a new phone at Best Buy in January. The sales rep signed me up with AT&T wireless at a rate of $65 per month after the first month and activation fee. My first bill was $130 after fees and taxes for a billing period of 3 days. I thought this would be a one time thing and paid it. My second month's bill is now $112. I've spoken with customer service on three separate occasions and have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. On my first call I was told if I opted for paperless billing and auto-pay my bill would be lowered to the agreed upon $65 per month. I was already on auto-pay, so I also opted for paperless billing. My bill amount never changed--still $112/month. Now I'm attempting to have my phone unlocked so I can switch carriers, but I'm told there is a 60 day wait to unlock. At the time of purchase I was told that if I wasn't satisfied after the first 30 days I could unlock phone and go somewhere else.

    So, nothing I was promised about AT&T wireless has been upheld or accurate. I'm now left with no other recourse but to finish waiting out the rest of the 60 days, pay what they charge me, and then unlock phone and go with another carrier, most likely **. So, buyer beware of AT&T $65/month unlimited deal. The only thing unlimited is how high your bill may turn out to be.

    Last year I had no phone service at home. Called customer service. Said they couldn't send anyone to check tower signal since I was only one in my area with problem. 5 called every day. Finally day 7 was told 4 others in my area reported same problem. They sent someone to check tower. Never got credit for the one week lost service I was promised. Year before CS told me I was using so little data I could save money by switching to a lower GB plan. I did. Bill went up 10 bucks! Just changed to T-Mobile.

    I called AT&T to plan my service while traveling. I got back to a bill $223 over what they quoted. Called for an adjustment to reflect what I was quoted and they offered $50 off my bill. I've got 5 lines two phones on installment and have been there for probably 20 years. They would not honor what I had been offered. I paid them off and am about to sign on with their competitor. They seemed to not care at all. Who am I but one of millions of customers?

    My daughter and I already had service with AT&T but went in corporate store to add another line. Her husband had a Galaxy S9+ and the rep told him if he ported his number and added that line to our account they would trade his phone for an IPhone 11. We did. Our bills were reflecting a charge for a new phone each month. Have called customer service so many times and think we had it resolved only for the next bill to have those same charges. We have been hung up on 2x and one of those was a manager. The last explanation we got was the promotion started the day after we were in the store. Well someone had to tell us about it. We did not know any of their future promotions.

    We are now stuck paying for this phone because their corporate store staff tell you anything to get a sale and the company does not care. They know we will eventually go away. They are charging us $700 for this phone and took our phone that we were still making payments on. Less than a year old. We were told it was free with new line, porting number, and trade in. AT&T this will never happen to this family again. Beware of what you are told in corporate stores.

    Went to local AT&T store to upgrade phones and add a line. Told by employee who was an area/district manager that if I added Direct TV and had direct billing my “total package” would be a certain price. Signed contract. Got nervous about price and called AT&T. Got the run around from the person talking to but he verified price. Did not realize DirecTV was not included in bill until got a call that TV being shut off unless paid bill with late fees. Called AT&T to be told that the price I was given was only for the phones, that the promotion price that I was told was a year was only for one month, that the price of DirecTV was more than when signed agreement, and that I had to call a request bills be combined.

    I am trying to find a way to get out of my ATT contract. They have the worst customer service in the cell phone industry. If you speak with a representative and they give you wrong information and are disconnected which seems to happen a lot when calling them do not think they will honor what their reps say because they will not. A representative can give you wrong information and you make plans accordingly however if they plans are not completed, the next rep nor the Managers will honor what their reps state and they will not pull tapes to review. I was told the tapes are only for quality and training not to determine if they have trained their reps properly and to confirm what they are telling customer. If you can find another cell phone company please do, try your cable company but stay away from ATT. They will not honor what they tell you.

    I have a family wireless plan with AT&T. I had disabled international calling on the phones as in the past we were unexpectedly hit by large bills because the kids accidentally dialed an international number. But I noticed large international call charges on phones with international calling disabled. I was told that if you start a WhatsApp international call on WiFi and the call switches over to to AT&T network because of poor WiFi connectivity then it gets charged as an international call on AT&T at $5/minute. I said that is absurd as I have explicitly disabled international dialing. They said they could not do anything about this. This is truly unethical practice and I (who on an average spends about $4000/year with AT&T) am very unhappy. I told the supervisor that I was pissed about this and will take my business elsewhere. I was told that they don’t care if I do. Absolutely pathetic!

    Not only is the product grossly overpriced but the service I feel is not as good as they claim it is for my coverage area. Dead zones and poor coverage in my area of central Minnesota. Not to mention the fact that every time I call in for customer support it seems like pulling teeth to get anything done and takes forever. Most recently I have found that the way they lock and unlock their devices to their network is almost criminal. Upon switching network providers for some, not even all, just a few of the lines I have for a business account one of the devices they had unlocked.... they didn't really unlock. They just said they did and never supplied me an unlock code, sent the approved email with a blank where the code was supposed to be.

    I have been on the phone hours in the past few days trying to resolve the issue and have been transferred countless times and and am so sick of re-reading account info to the next representative I talk to. It's driving me mad. Now they are telling me it could be two days before it's resolved. What a joke. If you are able to avoid AT&T do so!!!

Regardless of payment agreement of difficult in meeting the balance of payment.

    I switched to AT&T because they were offering a trade in promotion. I received my trade in envelopes and went to the Post Office to send the phones in the prepaid envelopes provided by AT&T. One of the items showed that it was delivered on the Post Office tracking site, but the other 2 showed in transit so on January 16th, I called AT&T to see if they had received my trade in devices.

    Roger, the employee I spoke with stated that they did in fact receive them, but they had not been processed yet. On January 27th, I received 3 separate letters from AT&T, each one stating that no phones were received. I called AT&T again and they said that no phones were received. I gave her the tracking number and she verified that the envelopes were received at the site through the USPS tracking website. She then called the escalation team and they said the IMEI numbers were never scanned in so they never received the phone even though the Post Office says they were delivered.

    Now, they have sent an escalation ticket, but refused to let me cancel my service without paying for the 3 phones. I told her I wanted my phones back and I would return their phones, but she said she wasn't sure where my phones were. Now, I have to wait 7-10 days for AT&T to investigate and in the meantime, I have to pay my $600 bill.

    Warning-- don't believe the hype about rewards cards, no activation fees, etc. They'll promise you anything to get you to switch and once that happens, your first bill reflects all sorts of charges that you certainly weren't expecting. If you're lucky, you'll call customer service and connect with a representative who knows that they work for a shady company, and they'll offer you some credits toward your account, but it won't compare to what you were promised in order to make the switch. I'm still waiting on reward cards from ten months ago.

    Not only did they not pay the final bill with my previous phone company as promised, but the remaining balance that I had with that company ended up being reported to the credit agencies, and my credit score took a hit. I had to pay the amount myself in order to have this negative collection removed from my report, and I'm still fighting AT&T ten months later in order to be compensated for their lies. Please allow my story to be a cautionary tale. This company is FOUL, and the service isn't that great either!!!

    It all started about 2 years ago when AT&T (They) stopped sending detailed accounting with my statements, without notice or asking for permission. I called and They said that I would receive the detail with the next statement, didn't happen. This happened numerous times and still no detailed accounting with my statements. Then later, I tried to pay a wireless bill by phone using the phone number on their wireless invoice, and it seemed to work, except later, I found out it was posted to my Directv account instead. I called Directv to try to resolve the problem, but they told me that they could not transfer the payment to wireless because of some "system error". A few months ago They stopped sending me paper statements, without notice and without permission.

    Today, I called to cancel my service with AT&T, and they would not prorate the charges, even though one of the phone numbers had been transferred elsewhere weeks ago. They didn't even bother to ask why I was leaving after 30 years. This all should tell you something about what AT&T thinks about their customers/customer service. I have switched over to ** because they are responsive on the phone, do what they say they will do, and their rates are far better than AT&T, and they are highly rated.

This is just indicative of the noncaring attitude of management at this organization. Call customer service sometime and watch just how long you wait on hold speaking to a machine that 9 times out of 10 cannot help you and then get transferred to a India to get marginal help.

    Yesterday I was transferred to (5) different people to get help with our business account. We only have 10 wireless phones with them and this may not be a lot for them in the scope of things. It's important for us to be treated fairly. I needed to upgrade all 10 phones and there were only going to charge me around $7000 for this upgrade. Today I called and waited on hold forever again. Finally transferred me to India and Gustav the customer service agent, was curt and impatient with me. I just cancelled my account. Went to GCI and they gave me 10 new iPhone 10's for free and my monthly service charge is less than what I was paying At&t. Why would I ever go back when they treat a 20 year customer so poorly.

Finally, I complained to the BBB and was contacted by a rep with a heavy foreign accent who told me I would be receiving my refund in 6-8 weeks. Well, yesterday I got it---in the form of a Debit Mastercard! What in the world?!!! Not even VISA that I can use with most businesses.

    I went to their store - 911 Oak Tree Road South Plainfield NJ. The sales person gave me all false information to sell two mobile phones and an additional line. They mentioned I will be upgraded under BOGO (BUY ONE GET ONE) plan which will give me one phone free with purchase of another. Not only this they brought me down on my data stating as per plan I have to downgrade and buy an additional line. I did all that to get a surprise that I was actually sold 2 phones (not one) on full price and an expensive data plan. I reached out to the store multiple times and their behavior was rude and arrogant. Virtually -"Don't care after the sale".

    To my surprise even AT&T customer care had similar attitude. After spending almost 5 hours and multiple calls they offered a mere 200 dollar compensation for a USD 800 phone that I am paying apart from expensive data plan. I am not surprised seeing AT&T among the worst customer experience companies, especially after going through it personally. I experienced this after being with AT&T for more than 10 years. If they don't care loyalty for old customer imagine the plight of new ones who are evaluating them. NEVER TRY AT&T.

    In August 2019 I saw an online offer BOGO and ordered a new Samsung 10 on my line with an addition of a new line which will have a free phone of Samsung Galaxy 10e. This was a available only online. When I clicked BOGO link and ordered the above mentioned, the order went through with no warning or alert. I got the phone and used it for a month. The credit for free phone was credited. So I called the customer service. The rep said it would take 1 to 3 months. He said it was backlogged. I called back after 3 months. The rep said I did not have the unlimited data plan and that was a qualification. I did get details until I persistently called for few weeks. I escalated this (I think) to higher managers in customer service. Here is the problem and here how AT&T cheats on customers.

    1. AT&T should do the due diligence of checking my account and tell right away if I would qualify. They their Requirements and all my details. They did not do that. All I can tell them at the time of order is, if I am willing to take a new line, willing to take installment plan, etc.
    2. When I called customer service after a month they should have checked properly and told me the correct information. Instead they gave me a generic message of wait for 1 to 3 month. I had to wait with a hope. This is clearly not a good customer service of AT&T. Low valued AT&T service plays with customers' time and money.

    3. To get an idea of what AT&T think what had happened, I had to call persistently for 5 months, several calls and talking to customer service representative and explain the story over and over again.

    If AT&T could have done the due diligence and checked and let me know right away, I would have made a different decision. It is a cheap cheat business and very unethical business. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone and especially their online promotions is cheating system as it is now.

The REP. was friendly and helpful and it took less than 20 minutes. COME OCTOBER I had to call again because when I asked friends and family to check on my order, there was no package to be found. I called again and the REP. could not understand why it had not moved from the warehouse. He promised to put it on priority. I asked him what that meant and he stated "It will be shipped out the next day."

COME DECEMBER, I called. I got other people involved to call and check on my order and we kept getting the same answers "I don't know why it hasn't shipped. Try cancelling and re-ordering."

    I asked him to put it in writing and email that to me. He sent me a copy of that email. I walk into another retail location and the REP scoffed at the potential of me walking out with a new phone for free. Literally, scoffed in my face. There were about (no joke) 7 REPS on the floor all looking at me with no help. I called billing again to confirm the email and she did and I put her on the line with one of the retail sales REP and he witnessed it. 2 hours later, literally, with the sales REPs sitting and watching, I walked out without my phone.

    I called billing again and they said that I could not get a phone for free. After being referred to every department, they all said the same thing "We cannot really do much about this." I was so confused. I ordered a simple upgrade, never received it. I was promised a new phone and then told I could not receive that either. It would have been different if they had not promised it BUT THEY did and then took that promise back. This was from SEPTEMBER-JANUARY. After many conversations, I had to leave the company which is sad because I had never had a problem with AT&T. So sad.

I even wrote AT&T a follow-up letter that went ignored. Well, today my personal cellphone was shut off for non-payment. I literally spend 3 hours at the AT&T store (serviced by competent gentlemen) who were equally frustrated as I in correcting this simple problem.

    Now pay attention to the rip-off: To get my phone turned back on, I was required to pay the monthly First Net bill for the service that I do not have to turn my cellphone back on. AT&T Mobility informed me that because I paid by check (a month ago!). This company ripped me off!

I then bought a iPhone XR to go along with my account. I called ATT to sync the apple watch from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone XR because the phone told me to contact a representative. I called the representative gave him the apple watch IME number to sync to the iPhone XR so it could be on that phone now.

    I get my bill for the next month and the representative I spoke with had added another number which made it looked like I had two watches to my bill. I called att and talked to another representative and explained to her I was just getting my iphone watch synced to my new XR and there is a ghost number on here saying I had two watches. She said, "Ohh I do apologize. I will take care of that." And she said she was gonna give me a 35 dollar credit because of the charge for the double apple watches that they put on my account and it was gonna be on my next bill.

    My next bill roll around people and tell me why they took one of the numbers off my account for the apple watch that I was paying installments on. They gone say I deactivated that number and they charged me for the full price of the apple watch on my bill which was $449.00 on my account plus the bill. So y'all know that bill was well over 600.00. But keep in mind they still got the other ghost number on there charging me for that they was supposed to take off instead of the original watch number.

    So I called ATT again and I was really angry and frustrated by this time because I called att every month because it was something going on every month with this bill. I then asked then a question to the representative. I said, "How you gone charge me for two apple watches with the same IME number. You mean to tell me that Apple make duplicate watches with the same IME number on it. All I did was called to get my apple watch synced to my new XR. So why am I being charged for something that I don't have and you can't resolve this now for the mistake that they made."

    And then the representative looked and said, "Oh yeah it has the same IME number." I said, "so what's the problem." He gone say one of the apple watches been deactivated that's where the charge came from. I said, "HUH? I didn't cancel nothing. The only thing I did was called and told them to sync the damn apple watch to my new XR that's all." And I got to go through all these hoops. I spoke with a manager Mark and he told me today I gotta do another claim. I'm like if everybody see this in y'all system why hasn't anything happened. Keep in mind my apple. I suppose to be paying for installment.

    Tell me why the representative added another apple watch to the account with the same IME number and gone cancel the other watch and then gone tell me I have to pay for another watch. Which I don't have and they still charging me for the two apple watches with the same IME number the number on it. This has made me so frustrated my blood pressure up and now I'm waiting on Mark to call me back which he said he was gonna call me back in 30 minutes. I wrote the time down we spoke. It was 1206 and now it is 109. I'm in Memphis Tennessee. I am so frustrated my blood pressure up and they talking about ain't nothing they can do about this. This is a case of some real live pain and suffering here I can't. All because I called to get my only apple watch synced to my new XR.

    And this matter has not yet been resolved. Someone please help me on what can I do?

    I would also discourage anyone from using AT&T wireless (or DSL\Internet):

    - AT&T wireless users have gaps in their calls from our neighborhood.
    - Sprint and Verizon work great.
    - Several attempts were made to correct the problem--nothing has worked.
    - Remote areas of state, AT&T wireless and Hot Spot, frequently not work, Verizon was great.

    - AT&T Chat is worthless: After router "died", was told to be at home on a Saturday from 4-8:00 pm for technician--no one. Was then told to be home on Sunday at 9:00 am--no one showed up. AT&T Customer Service, "There was never a ticket created"..basically they lied.

    - DSL:

    * I have been waiting for three years to at least get U-Verse (fiber).
    * Ring device usually does not work, Direct TV--internet drops all the time.
    * Monthly cost doubled--was told by contact in Atlanta "you went over your threshold."

    * Loyalty group in San Diego (they are awesome!) said they lied--did not go over threshold.

    I will spare you all my issues with DirecTV some of which are related to having no internet most of the time.

    We ordered the box to our new home and the customer service reps reassured us it would come and it never did. It went to our old home and they refused to go get it. Then, once we had someone go pick it up they sent it right back to our old address. When we spoke to the customer service Reps they were rude and very misinforming. Once we finally got the box it didn’t have any of the cords to operate it. I don’t recommend them.

    Ordered an iPhone from the Londonderry, NH store to be shipped to the store for the data transfer. Ordered on 12/27/19. I called the following week for phone was supposed to be in by New Year's Day. It wasn't and the person I spoke to in store on the phone couldn't track it or help, they said I had to track it myself. I called later in the week and although phone wasn't in person at least tried to track it for me with no luck.

    On Tuesday 1/7/20 after calling the store and being told that I had to call corporate, I called... They transferred me to UPS for tracking. Mind you the phone was shipping to the store that couldn't help me. I drove to the store after work and of course no help, the employee really didn't even care if I cancelled. I was the only person in the store and I seemed to interrupt him from his movie he was watching. I then called corporate again and was told I couldn't cancel until they received the phone back. I still have no idea where the phone is and they probably don't know either. I've had a cellphone since 1992 and this is the worst service I have ever encountered.

    I had been an AT&T customer for years but decided to switch to another carrier for better rates. On Dec 23, 2019 I called AT&T to cancel the service and provide a prorated bill. After a very long conversation with the service rep and her supervisor they agreed to prorate my final bill to the actual days of service used (6 days) in the last billing period. I asked for confirmation or a reference number at that time and was told it was not necessary and the service would be prorated. I called AT&T today, Jan 11, 2020 to make the final payment as it was due on 1/13/2020. The agent said there was no prorated bill available and the full amount was expected. I explained to her what I was promised in my conversation on Dec 23, 2019 and she said she couldn't help with with the prorated amount.

    I asked to escalate and soon was given over to Josh the supervisor. He refused to provide the prorated bill in spite of the promise I was given on Dec 23. I asked to escalate to a higher level, he refused. I asked what other options I had to get what I was promised and he refused to provide any other recourse. He also implied unpaid bills would be reported to the credit bureau and hung up on me. I've never been treated so rudely. Over the years my family has spent thousands of dollars with this company. I will think long and hard about returning to a company that charges me for service I do not use and could care less if I'm satisfied.

    I made the mistake of switching from another provider after 2 years, no issues but a sudden price hike. AT&T canceled a hook-up delivery without any heads up. Wasted a day waiting for someone. Finally got service but as soon as the tech left it began dropping constantly. I work from home online. I can't have spotty service. Spent hours on the phone while techs tried to figure things out. I end up being told when this happens just unplug and plug back in. Not a fix. They finally sent a lineman out who said the neighborhood had been experiencing problems. The area "needed new equipment" that AT&T kept denying until now. So think about that. The company could not have cared less about its shoddy service in my neighborhood. That issue was finally fixed.

    Next - because I get paid once a month I changed my billing date. I end up paying for an extra pro-rate period because I changed the billing cycle by a couple days. No warning about that or any other superfluous charges. Been with them 2 months. NOT IMPRESSED. They are very shady. This is going to be a long year. Lesson - don't switch to AT&T if your current company simply raises their price. If there have been no issues, no extra charges for dealing with their mouth-breathing, grammar challenged reps, no service drops just pay the minor hike.

    I never experienced such poor service. Every day, my order either got cancelled (for no apparent reason and without my consent), or the install date got pushed back. Every time I call they say the issue will get resolved and it never does. I spent over an hour on the phone with them several times, however, it made absolutely no difference. I don't understand how a compony can operate this way and stay in business. By far the worst service I ever received from any company.

    Recently, we sought to add two new lines of service to our account. On the first day we called in, we were unable to make forward progress as they needed the account holder in order to add the line. Good security, we approve. We waited until we would have the main account holder around and called back this weekend. Steps were easy to go through, managed to get everything done. We were approved to add 2 lines to the phone, along with a free A10E (0$) and an S10E (5$/month.), with our total balance being promised to be $110/Month.

    This was a really good deal for us - the two lines being added were being billed at 80$/month with MetroPCS, and the main-line was being billed with AT&T at $83$/Month. Combining the three seems the obvious thing to do for $110, and saving over $50/month between the three of us. We received two phone numbers, and the promise of new phones and even a stronger data plan for the *main* user. All we had to do was go to att.com/tc. This is where our nightmare began.

    We were able to confirm & ship the first number. However, for some reason, the second number didn't work. We figured this was fine, and waited a few hours, trying again. When this failed to work and we found that the website wouldn't let us complete the order, we called ATT for support. Soon, we were reassured that they had two orders, and that there was nothing else we needed to do. We decided to check the Order Status on Sunday, and noticed that the second order # they had given us still wasn't pulling up - coincidentally for the same phone number that wasn't working.

    So, we called back to AT&T, and once more we wound up on Sale Department, speaking with Kevin. Kevin informed us that AT&T had messed up our order. They were only going to send us a SIM Card, a pretty far-cry disparity compared to what we had been promised. We asked and explained the situation to them, and they set about resolving it... And told us we'd have to pay a *Second* time on sales fees, and not only that - the promised $110 price, was now $135.

    We were sent to the Manager - Carlos, in Sales Department, **. Carlos said that they were being 'transparent' and that they would not do anything to rectify the situation. He made comments such as "Who is the one who works here?" when we asked for a manager above him - multiple times. Carlos did nothing to help us with our situation, and constantly blamed "Someone else quoted you wrong" rather than as a company and representative of AT&T taking responsibility for a mistake that had now costed us multiple hours of dealing with their company.

    We are disappointed in AT&T and Carlos for the huge inconvenience, lack of sincerity, and the overall lack of transparency provided by AT&T. Most companies would seek to rectify this sort of situation with their Customer, but Carlos simply stated that AT&T would do nothing to make amends by their customer that they had now not only charged twice - but also had completely messed up their order, AND given wrong pricing information on a plan that was agreed to.

    My husband and I were with AT&T for about a year. However, after much problems with their service, random charges to our account, and horrible customer service we decided to leave them. Before canceling our services with them we called to make sure that we won’t be charged for anything extra besides pay for the time we used their services. MONTHS after canceling with them we were charged over $120 for services we never used. We called and were transferred numerous times and after an hour of waiting they refunded us and gave us their word that our account is at a $0 balance.

    Another month goes by and we were yet again notified to pay them over $150 for canceling with them MONTHS ago. We called yet again to stop this non sense and after hour and a half of being transferred we were told there is nothing they can do and we have to pay them. We were told that the representative that said our account is at $0 “misinformed” us and we still have to pay. So, because THEIR company/employee lied to us we have to pay the consequences?

    I have never dealt with such rude customer service before. This company not only has the worst services (phone, cable, wifi) but also are simply money hungry.

    It's bad enough that they define a month as 30 days so every other month your payment is due a day earlier and a day earlier, but on top of that, they charge you the day before your payment is due. No less than four times, these issues alone have caused overdraft fees due to charging a day ahead. You go to log in to pay on the prepaid site and it logs you in on a Spanish page with no option to choose English. The customer service department is outsourced to India and often so crowded that it is difficult to hear the person speak because the background noise of all the people around them bleeds through. And to top it all off, this month, my direct deposit was declined because of a hold PayPal put on my prepaid card due to charges from so many states showing up (my husband and I live on the road as he is a semi driver).

    So even after getting the card hold straightened out with them, art would not let me use my card with hundreds of dollars on it to re-enroll in auto pay - according to customer service after an hour on the phone. See, the website /did/ let me do so but with my regular PayPal account just not with the card, complete with the advertised $10 discount, bringing the $75 to $65 - awesome, taken care of, right? You would think so when the site says you are paid up and nothing due until the next month, but even 8 full hours later it would not let me connect to the ATT network. Finally tired of waiting, I call customer service, where they tell me that yes, it took $65 dollars and yes it let me pay with paypal, but PayPal is not an authorized method for autopay. Funny, it let me do it the night before.

    So after an hour of hashing this out and trying to explain that the website clearly allowed it because why the hell would I have paid $10 less than my plan costs to renew it if it was not indeed due to it charging the plan fee but with autopay, I eventually ask to speak to a supervisor. They will have to call me back - not on the phone I clearly do not have service on of course. During the course of waiting the three hours it took, I go back to the att site and am told I need to pay them another $10. Oh good, so they can update that but not give me the rate I agreed to while making the payment. Eventually, I am called back and told not only do I need to pay the additional ten dollars, but I also need to call their customer payments department and jump through /more/ hoops to be allowed to use the card which has now been fixed, in order to clear /my name/.

    Weeping at this point, I bought another $10 card to pay the difference and keep from being left a thousand miles from home without a phone, but that is the last money they will ever get from me. In the next three weeks, I am going to transfer my service to Verizon. I was so infuriated I came here looking for a place to warn someone. You know your service is bad when your password is 'ihateatnt4life' on your att account. Do better, don't give these vultures your money. In the future, I won't be doing so either.

I was told by AT&T that the phone was free.

I called after the first bill to ask why I was being charged $20 extra in two separate bills and they told me taxes and I can't remember the second thing.

    The bill did level off on the third month. I'm billed on the 27th of the month so I took care to change my service, to a more affordable plan, on Dec. 21, 2019. Today, Jan. 3, 2020 I was charged $143.99 for the phone. I was told that I needed to keep the service for 30 months!!! I was never told that! That's a contract!

Three months later I was still being charged for both phones. Called customer service and was told I was not eligible as I did I not have an unlimited plan. The representative talked me into switching to unlimited and promised the charges for one phone would be back credited and credited going forward. The next month's bill was $96 more than previous and no credits, still being charged for both phones and lost my employer discount I had for 15 years.

    After an hour on the phone with customer service I was told they could not fix it and to return to the store that sold me the phones as they were the only ones that could take care of the issue. I met with the same sales rep that sold me “the deal” and she was quick to tell me after 60 days they can’t do anything, but she would research the account and get back to me IN A WEEK. What? She never even took the time to pull up my account. And why if it can’t be changed after 60 days do you ask us to wait two billing cycles to see the credit? Nice trick!

    Purchased an iPhone11 for my son for Christmas. Was told if I added another line to my service (even though I didn't need a new line since I was transferring his old line to his new phone) that I would get a $500 credit for the new phone purchase. My son accidentally locked his Apple ID account by logging in with the wrong password several times so we had to come back after Apple unlocked the account to transfer all pics, contacts etc to the new device and then turn in the old one. The salesperson saw the old phone and was aware of the trade in. When we returned in a few days, we were then told the old phone was not eligible (after we wiped the phone in the store) and were not getting the $500 credit and they could not remove the added line. I then got billed $117 for a line that I did not need, request or could use as it was not assigned to any device.

    I spent over an hour being transferred to 3 different areas to get the additional line cancelled and trying to get credit for the overage amount billed because the personnel at the Ellisville, MO AT&T store are incompetent. I was also directed to go back to that store to resolve this issue although the store made it clear they could not fix this.

    I am a At&T customer from 2014. During the month of 2019 I called AT&T loyalty department to check whether they have any loyalty deals going on. They said they have a $300 off for loyal customers on iPhone 11 Pro. I decided to order that and the loyalty executive started the ordering process. Below is the set of frustration which I went through.

    The loyalty executive said the order got stuck because there is a system issue and this happened on 11/28/2019. She asked me to call after 2 hrs and talk to someone else who can continue the order process. I called after 2 hrs and the loyalty executive told me that he cannot do anything because the order is stuck. It's an IT issue and i need to call after 30 days. I called on 12/27 which is after 1 month. They said they are able to release the order. They released the order. I kept the shipping address different from my billing address because i was at a different location for 2 weeks to spend my holiday. I got an email on 12/28 that the order got cancelled. Reason mentioned was that I didn't accept terms and condition which was not true. It was also mentioned that they tried to reach me couple of times which was also not true as I didn't receive any call.

    I called loyalty department and they said the actual reason for cancelling the order is not what is mentioned in the email. It's because I am trying to ship it to a different address than my billing address. Since I am at a different address than my billing address temporarily they asked me to go to the nearby att store and validate myself with a store person and make him call loyalty to confirm my identity. I spend money from my pocket and went to att store. They validated me and loyalty re processed the same order. This time they assured me shipping as it was mentioned in the notes that the identity is validated in the store.

    I got an email after one day that order is cancelled again and when I called loyalty department they had no clue why it happened. They said they cannot connect me to shipping as well as to the previous customer care executives who talked to me. They said the only thing they can do is to re process or I can leave the carrier. I was really stunned by their don't care attitude but after talking to them I understood that they are showing their helplessness. It's Att's problem as a whole and the management might have instructed the shipping department not to ship it out. They could have told me the truth why they are not shipping it out and why they wasted around 10-12 hrs of time talking to att.

But about 4 months ago I added a line to my family plan of 2 and I took the buy 1 get one free phone “promo”. About a month later I call them to tell them my new line was going to be used for a business and in order to get the answering services by grass hopper I needed a new number so that grass hopper could have my original number (grass hopper is not a competition). They just do the answering forwarding services. The guy in India or Philippines or wherever he was did not understand my request, so wrongfully he suggested for me to forward the line to grass hopper and get a new chip for my phone with a new number so that grass hopper could have the business number. He said that was the easiest way to do it.

    Well, next month I get a $900 bill and I immediately called them, they said I lost the promotion of the buy 1 get 1 free because I forwarded the line!!! I said... but I did not cancel the service! Besides it was an ATT employee who suggested that was the solution for my need!! Long story short I spent several days an hours of my time trying to get the issue corrected, spoke to multiple ignorant people that did not know how to fix it. Until I finally spoke to somebody with some sense and she helped me submitted the request to credit me back to the correct department but at the end they declined the request so I had to pay the phone in full despite the calls been recorded as proof it was their mistake!!! I am a T-Mobile customer now and paying almost half of what I was paying with ATT!! So far so good!

    I wanted to upgrade my existing iPhone 7 which was out of contract with AT&T Next program and I thought my best bet would be to upgrade the phone with AT&T itself as I'm an existing customer, so I stopped in at a store and the person at the store checked and reviewed everything in my account and confirmed that I'm eligible for a trade-in promotional offer of $300 and So I upgraded to iPhone 11 and shipped my old phone to AT&T by the first week of November, 2019.

    It's been almost 1.5 months and I never got a $300 credit and I reached out to AT&T toll free customer care and after spending almost 2 hours transferring my call through various departments they said, "We have received your phone but the tradein value is $0," and they advised me to go back to the same store where I initiated my trade in which I did and after again talking to the same person at the store, now he is saying that you need to have unlimited data plan in your account to be eligible for this promo which is ridiculous because he should have told me these details at the time of initiating my trade-in and this person at the store never revealed these clauses to me and now he is saying it's mentioned in the agreement letter!!!

    It's such a terrible experience and believe it or not AT&T's plans and services are going below average day after day!!! Please beware of these scams and give it another thought before going with AT&T especially since there are many options out there.

    My fiancée and I have been with AT&T for for over 4 years and have never seen such horrible customer service. We have been dealing with a billing issue that was an error on the company’s behalf. This error happen in late October as early November. I have spent over 10 hours speaking to people that say they are managers and supervisors. I talked to 7 different people the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and was told this issue was going to be resolve because it was their fault for a double reverse of payment on my family's account.

    Since November my fiancé has spent over 7-8 hours talking to customer service reps and has spoken to over 10 representatives. All of which saying they will set put a note in the account to relive the issue or have someone call in 3-5 business days to make sure it’s all fixed. On all occasions my fiancé and myself have called to get resolve and there’s been no one from ATT to even try to contact us. The first time they put in a request to fix they set up a payment plan when that’s was even the agreement so then when we called back in the next rep kept asking us to pay a balance of $480 that was already paid.

    We call back AGAIN after Thanksgiving and spoke to another so call manager to help get this double reversal of our att account so we would be current and then they shut our phones off saying we were suppose to be paying $480 which is a mistake with AT&T not my family. When we called to tell them we have switched services and now going to Verizon the manager on the phone said that they didn’t want us to do that so he was going to get everything fixed, waive the reconnection fee for our lines, have the balance adjusted and so we could have our lines back.

    We told them we were switching to Verizon and we had already got our new phones because we have kids and they need to be able to contact us and no longer wanted their service for cell phone nor cable and internet. It’s clear that with as big ATT is we are all just a number and It’s now almost 2020 and this is issue is still not resolve. If you wonder if you should use AT&T ... Do Not because if you don’t want to be just a number and not be held responsible for their accounting errors then I would high advise use someone else.

    After creating my AT&T Business Account I started to receive calls about every 2 minutes telling me that someone logged into my account. When I call support they tell me that its not ATT, so I change the phone number in my profile and sure enough it is not calling my new number every 2 minutes. I now have over a 100 messages from ATT. When I call into support from the Business side I cannot find a single live person.

    I switched to AT&T everything was going great after a year of service. Then one day I met a man He paid my bill without my knowledge. I was notified by email my bill had been paid. I was stunned upon the delivery of the email, for the policy was no one could pay or have access to our bill with our presence or your code. I ask this man I met did you pay my phone bill? Said yes, I am that kind of man. For three months in a row, he pays my bill still without my permission or presence of code. Each time this alarmed me, and I called customer assistance asking them how this could have happened and if he was in my account. Each time they assured me he was not in my account and all was fine. I should be grateful my bill was paid!

    The fourth month came, and I received a new email stating someone had ordered a $1000 phone on my account. I called once again the customer service line. I ask them to explain to me who ordered this phone and how without my presence? they could not explain it to me! But it was ordered, and I was responsible for the phone. I went all the way to the top person arguing with them I had not ordered this phone! Who allowed this man to order this phone on my account without my permission or pay on my account when each month I had been calling and asking why and how? And each time they told me do not worry there is no way he can access your account. To date, this has not been resolved and each month AT&T bills me plus interest. This gave me and AT&T a fake name. And he was paying on my account with stolen credit cards. No, I am no longer with AT&T… Beware. They do not stand by their own policies…

    I Have been dealing with issues since October with my account. I purchased an Apple watch from AT&T with adding an additional line and paying monthly for the watch, under contract. When I received the watch I tried to number sync the watch with my phone. I got to a step that said there was no cellular data and I contacted customer support for help. They helped me into 4 additional lines for my watch, which I did not know had happened. I receive my bill for $996.00. I looked at my bill, saw 6 lines and 1 line had the full charge for the watch on it and all the other lines had activation fees and charges for my 1 watch. So I called customer support.

    They said that I canceled my line and set up new lines for watches and an iPhone 7. I was confused because I told them I only had 1 watch and I have never owned an iphone 7. They told me I canceled my contract and returned the watch and the full amount was charged because the watch was never returned to them. I informed them at that time I did not return anything or cancel any lines. SO they transferred me to the fraud department since someone had committed fraud on my account and added all the lines. I was so confused and I told the gentleman in the fraud department that I could file a claim for fraud but it would be against AT&T customer support because they made these errors.

    So after several days and many hours dealing with these issues. I had someone more patient than myself speak to AT&T so everything, I thought had been resolved. The contract reestablished the lines correct, then they walked me through number syncing my phone again and surprise surprise another line was added to my account. I was patient and was told that this would automatically fix itself that everything was set up correctly. So I waited until a new bill had come out. I had a past due balance of $28.00 and my bill was $751.00, in which again I had two lines for my watch and one line was the full balance of my watch along with the monthly installment charges for the watch on two different lines. So today I go to use my phone and my service has been shut off so I call to try and get some resolution to get my bill straightened out.

    This time AT&T tells me that once I pay the $28.00 past due balance my account will be straightened out and the credits will automatically show up on the account after the past-due bill is paid. I know the amount of the past due balance is not a lot, but after 3 months or issues with no resolution, it is the principle of it all. Then to tell me that paying the $28.00 fee is the only way that anything will be fixed on my account. I feel like they are requiring me to pay a small balance to then tell me they will only fix it if I pay that. That's not even accurate. I have a case that was escalated to try and resolve the issues with the incorrect charges to my account.

    During the midst of all this going on I physically walked into an AT&T store only to be told they could not help me but had to contact customer support since I was already dealing with them. But hey they printed my bill out for me to show me the charges...thanks that was helpful, I knew what the charges were. I Have never had issues like this and been with AT&T for about 5 years on this account and was with AT&T on a shared account for 20 years. I have never been treated so badly, feel like AT&T just wants their money and not really help the customers that have issues.

    We are a big family and have always for the past 4+ years used ATT Wireless, Directv, and ATT internet. So like 4 months ago our bills started to come really high because of supposedly long distance calls, this and that, but the funny thing is that we never called outside of U.S. and ATT would always apologize for this inconvenience and fix the bill issue, but it was constantly each month going through the same thing, worrying, stressful, and we decided it was best to split up the family plan, so 6 of the lines went on our separate way under my wife's name. At this time we had ATT internet at home for $50 dollars and we were told that if we combined the wireless 6 lines with our Internet plan, we would get a $20 dollar discount extra. Long story short, we did the combining and our first bill actually came $10 dollars higher.

    When we call they explained that we were getting a discount with the internet already and that discount was gone after combining the 2 things, so we lost the previous discount and had the $20 dollar discount for combining both services but we were actually paying now $10 extra instead of saving money. It makes no sense whatsoever. So it doesn't end there. Is so frustrating dealing with customer service, every-time someone in the Philippines or Off Shore picks up the line, and then no one can transfer you to the U.S. I spoke to a Philippine supervisor for answers and all he could tell me was the system is responsible for the rates and the changes. I asked to be transferred to a manager on the U.S and he could not do it because he told me the calls get re routed each time automatically.

    So I asked the supervisor one last questions which infuriated me even further, "What would happen if I put everything back separate so I can get my original internet discount and save the $10 dollars extra that I was being charged? Would I get that discount again back to paying $50 only?" And his answer was that by doing the change again I might not get any discount to the internet again, so there is a chance of actually paying higher for the internet without any discount if I went back to before.. So frustrating. Now I don't know what to do.

    There is no one that knows any answer to this. No manager in the U.S they can transfer me to. Is just a horrible experience. All they care is money and money. Customers go last, and since they are so big they really care less.. But I will be also complaining to the FCC and everywhere I can get my complaint, because companies like this should care more about clients than money. Without clients there is no money... Is a fraud!!!

Now after hours of holds no one knows what to do. Finally got transferred to their collections department and they couldn't help remove it because they can't even find an account.

(I called twice, spoke to a manager, and used their chat service.) Customers are only able to receive a text for "security Purposes." Ironically, a thief can go online and reset an account password without any trouble! This is possible since they have your phone. Worse, you can validate ALL account information and they still will refuse to assist other than sending a reset text...only option is to go to an AT&T Store to have your password reset...what does a customer do if none are nearby!

    We switched from T-Mobile to AT&T in September due to AT&T having a slightly better deal on iPhone 11s. Part of this deal was a $300 visa gift card for ordering online. While placing the order, I contacted to customer care center for assistance in processing the order however I still selected and processed everything online. I even verified with the customer service representative that even though they were helping me, I would still be receiving the $300 gift card. After months of not receiving anything regarding the gift card, I contacted both customer care and the rewards center regarding the gift cards.

    Initially I was told that I would be receiving the gift card, but that I just needed to update the address on file. Then after calling back days later following the address update, I was told I wouldn’t be receiving the gift card because I had assistance from the customer care associate when placing the order. After speaking with a supervisor, they agreed that I should receive the gift card because two separate AT&T employees stated I would be receiving it. I thought things were finally resolved until out of the blue I got a call three hours later saying I wouldn’t be receiving the gift card despite being told by three employees that I would. As a veteran, it is extremely upsetting to see a company with no integrity that does not stand behind their word.

    We left AT&T and went with ** and it is saving us over $120 per month and that’s with adding another line. Today I called to ask a question about a charge on an old bill that I hadn’t noticed because one month we were charged more than the rest and the girl I talked to at first was so shockingly rude. I told her I wanted to see if I could find out what the charge was on last June’s statement and she kept repeating the charge I have due now (which is data for our iPad). I said I am aware of that charge... It is a recurring monthly charge that is paid automatically. So I kept asking about the charge from last June and she kept repeating my current charge to the point where she was actually yelling at me. She said I would have to ask my bank and I said that doesn’t make sense... My bank has nothing to do with it. Unreal.

    So at some point, when I persisted about the charge from June, maybe it finally clicked what I was asking? So finally she looked it up, put me hold, sent me to another department and I got disconnected. ???? So I called back again and asked the gentleman the same question. He asked for my code. I told him. He said the code was incorrect. ???? I said, "Well I just gave it to the girl I spoke with five minutes ago and she had no problem looking up my account." He insisted it didn’t work. So I asked to speak to a manager. He said it wouldn’t matter because they can’t verify my identity. So I said what do you want to know? My address, my SSN? So he asked if I knew my account number and I told him what it was and finally he told me why there was an extra charge that month. But had I not persisted, he would’ve just hung up and never bothered to help me.

    Both of them were short and rude and I felt they were unprofessional. I don’t know if they’re trained to do that or what? But we’ve had a terrible experience with them. This is just one instance. We’ve been through similar things with them before and it is one of the main reasons we started looking elsewhere. But that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We are done with them for good.

Other surprise my phone doesn't have a insurance. The teller forget to cover my phone. This was a second hit. Then few days ago I want to upgrade my phone, spoken with one of the teller at ATT him directly my call to someone name John. This guy was nice. Him understanding everything and offer me $335 deductibles for my new phone. Only pay $95 for taxes.

    I get the iPhone 11 pro max, used for one week, having problems (take too much time to download any photo or video. Sending messages is a problem. I been receiving messages a day late). My frustration not finish yet!! Asking the teller if I can return the iphone and get a Samsung, also ask if At&t keeping the words from my 335 and applied for my phone, his response was NO. I have to pay the full amount, is aggravated, frustration and hunger. I paying $10,590 dollars for 30 months. I know is a big company and business is business, but why doesn't like to keep customers happy. I paying my other phones and moving to other company. Maybe the others understand the words appreciation, honesty. Note: still waiting for my old phone get unlock. At this moment no phone, not line. Thank AT&T. Great job!!! Making people miserable on Christmas.

    This is the worst company ever, their prices are too high, me and my husband switched over from Sprint. The worst decision ever, me and my husband came to this company with our own phones and were paying 200 dollars a month. Our first bill was 500 dollars, I wouldn't recommend anyone to come to this company, if you're okay with paying high prices and not getting good service then this would be the place for, they don't work with the customer like other companies do.

    After about 30 years or however Comcast has been around we finally considered changing to AT&T because they we're canceling our favorite channels and charging us more. We were so tired of Comcast. We still are and now are just going to stream. AT&T made us a great offer about a month ago. His supervisor was on the phone approving everything he said. I changed all my Comcast email accounts. Every account I had was under that email. Over 30 accounts YEARS...hours of work. AT&T came out today to make the change and had a totally different agreement than what we talked about.

    CRAZY, they always say, "We are recording this call for quality assurance" but could not pull up the call. They did an entire bait and switch and wasted hours of of time never mind couldn't even look into the customer service call we made the day we signed up. BAIT & SWITCH. BEWARE. What was supposed to be 5 TV set up's as well as what we agreed on for channels was 2 TV's and almost none of the channels. PISSED ...why do these companies get away with this. If we had already cancelled Comcast we would have been in a bad spot. NOW, we are done with them all....too many great things you can get so cheap by streaming!!!

    My name is Jason, and my family and I have been loyal customers for the past 15 years. We spend $500/month. Recently I purchased a Note10 and wanted to trade in my Note9. AT&T never sent me a return label to send back my Note9. They then proceeded to charge my account $500 for the phone. I do not want the phone and just want to trade it in. I spoke with a gentleman named Jeremiah **, customer loyalty. He instructed me to send back my phone and the $500 charge would be reimbursed, he was great by the way. I placed my perfect condition Note9 back in the original box and sent it back along with packing slip that was emailed to me from ATT.

    3 weeks later I receive the Note9 back in brown box with shipping bubble wrap, NO original box, at my address along with a letter. The letter stated that they could not accept my phone because it is out of the 2 week period. Because of this I will be taking all 7 phones, 1 watch, and 4 ipads, to another carrier, T-Mobile. I am very disappointed in AT&T and how they treat loyal customers of a decade and a half. They will not be receiving $60,000 from me and my family over the next 10 years of service. That will be given to another carrier.

    I have a Galaxy S9 thru AT&T. I have had nothing but issues with this company since I got this service just over a year ago, from billing, insurance, bundle (or not) to technical issues. Recently I suddenly was not receiving text or multimedia... Long story short I ended up assigning a free Google number to my device for certain people I was not getting messages from. Then, all of the sudden my husband and I can't reach each other or send anything.

    So... we visit an AT&T store today for resolution and the young lady was nice as could be until I said, "No, we will not be upgrading." She then replied, "I'm sorry I can't help with this issue, you'll have to set an appt with a tech." Alright, that's fine. However, my husband still had a question which he was asking as she hopped off her chair and showed us to the door. Needless to say... as soon as my device is paid for I will be going elsewhere for phone service. And that little tidbit is just the final draw. We were misled from the very beginning and NOTHING was as we agreed.

    I called to stop ATT and Switch to another provider. The ATT person was cold as ice and and said a previous number I had TWO years ago with Jitterbug was causing a problem. She was able to fix that but so aloof was she.. I will pay 50% less. It took 4 minutes of prompts to get to a live person. ATT is a behemoth with too much power. Save your money and get a smaller cell service provider.
