After 15 years of being abused by AT&T I finally decided to leave. I made my final payment and while I was in the process of signing on with Verizon, knowing the underhanded practices of AT&T, I called again to ensure that there were no outstanding charges! The agent quickly looked at my account and said there were no outstanding charges and proceeded to get me to stay. I asked for a final statement signifying I had no balance with AT&T which he said he will send out. He even verified my mailing address.
A month later I received a bill. I believe that this was retaliation for leaving. I am not very tech savvy, but this company has just incentivized me to become so. Therefore I've enrolled in a course expressly to learn the most expedient way to get the word out to avoid this predatory company like the plague. I'm a relatively young man and pledges to dedicate the rest of my life to getting this message out on every social platform available and alerting as many people as possible as to this threat! I'm just getting started!

I find that my bill with unlimited talk and text, plus rollover data is way less than my friends and coworkers. It has remained competitive or beat others' for years. We have two people and pay about $120. We also upgrade the two phones with ease every 2 yrs or so.

I'm going to spend my life trying to get people off of AT&T **. I was only trying to create a new AT&T account keeping my AT&T number after a divorce. They fought me the whole way and in the end I gave up and screamed the f word to them. Now I'm enjoying my time trying to keep people away from this horrible company... clueless...

Quite possibly the worst customer service and support on the planet. I have DirecTV and wireless and have to call every month for billing errors. When it was DirecTV it was considerably better. With wireless it has always been awful. I got two new lines for Christmas gifts and they sent me three phones, now 3 months later and numerous calls and hours (literally hours) on the phone I still am getting charged for that line and the installment plan for the phone. We are likely going to a internet based TV provider and a phone carrier with good customer service. I am totally willing to give up a little coverage for a better overall experience.

I cancelled my TV service. They kept withdrawing $ from my account and they were not on my auto-pay. Tried to get my $ back. Rep said they would mail a check. But they only credited my account, which was supposed to be closed. And even then the credit was $30.00 short!!! Among other things!

I would give no stars if possible. I have spent two weeks calling and chatting with customer service. I have spent hours on hold and talking to at least 25 different customer service techs. Each time I explained the entire story and waited on hold while they were working on it. I asked for a supervisor every time and was told none were available. I would get passed to two or three different techs to explain the entire story again. They asked the same questions each time instead of just making the notes on our account so they would already know it.
On about the third person it would be at around the one hour mark I would magically get disconnected every time. They asked for a call back number but never called back. Even after they said they would call back. They gave us a bogus case number just to get off the phone and when we called back to check on the case we were told the format of the number wasn't even correct and they had no idea what we were talking about. They said they would call back within 48 hours about the case but never called. They lost a phone we ordered and refuse to cancel the order or ship another phone. So basically they are telling us we and they can do nothing to fix their mistake.
I have never dealt with such a useless and incompetent customer service. They don't really care if they help you or not. They just keep passing you around until closing time then you can start back the next day. I recommend using absolutely any other company than AT&T. You'd be better off with two cans connected by a string.

Please do not waste your time. I had to call for a technician to fix the wireless connection to my gateway box 4 times. My fifth call I just terminated my services with AT&T and switched to Spectrum. The equipment that this company has must be old or not updated. Not once did I receive any type of compensation for unsatisfactory service. I repeat. Do not start services with this company. They are terrible.

My internet is DSL all we have in the area (or so I am told). The Doctors offices 4 feet from our driveway have Uverse but we are residential... I signed up in June and a fellow Mike came out set the connection up and it didn't work for 2 weeks! Since June 22nd until October 2 more weeks I was without internet, not dependable and several intrusions on my private connection!!!

We have them for internet only now. It continues to go down, drop calls, and customer service is less than stellar. We now use Sling and DirecTV Now which is better but not great. We can't have Dish because of all the trees, so I'm not sure yet what we will do.

I got 2 prepaid phones at $30 for unlimited talk & text for $30 month but if you do automatic payments it would be $25 and tax of course. But each time they took my credit card for payment they took out 2 different tax amounts and now won't refund me the difference. They are non-responsive to returning my calls. Sends me back to the store to resolve the issue. The store then sends me back to deal with the issue on the phone. I am filing a complaint with the corporate office to resolve my issues. But please be aware of the charges AT&T charges your credit card. THEY GET YOUR MONEY AND MAKE IT HARD FOR YOU TO GET REFUNDS. Do your prepaid at another company. Research what they are charging you and the tax monies. DON'T TRUST AT&T PREPAID TAX MONIES THAT THEY CHARGE YOU ONCE YOU PICK A PHONE NUMBER. There are hidden charges they do not tell you about till you look at your credit card statement. Be aware.

I am an AT&T customer for almost 9 years now for wireless services and 2 years for home internet. That how long I have been in this country. AT&T provides the network service, however their customer service is just on the other side of the graph. Worst customer service in the world, hand down. Their policies are against customer needs. I hope someone can provide me a list of all the websites and portals where I can post my reviews/ratings for this company.
Issue-1: Two years ago, I went into a AT&T store to get my wireless phone upgraded. Local agent offered me a really exciting U-verse TV offer and I signed up for it. During the signup process he asked for my social "I clearly asked the guy if he is going to run a credit check and he replied saying, no it's just for the system to process the request". Guess what happened. I had a hard check on my credit. When I contact the guy next day, he said that is probably a mistake from the back end office and he promised to take care the day later. A month later I called to see where they stand, that guy was fired and I was asked to work with the credit department to resolve my issues. After spending 15+ hours on calls and 2 letters sent to take the inquiry away, nothing happened. Still have that on my credit and waiting for the 2 year credit term. After all they could not install U-verse in my apartment as there is no proper line of sight.
Issue-2 to Infinity: I had home internet (45 Mbps) with At&t for 2 years and 4 wireless line for over 8 years. In Feb 2019 I moved places and called AT&T a week before my move to schedule a internet move. First guy on call said "This is great.” They have better speeds at the new location, they can give me 50 Mbps for the same price and even going to schedule a tech to install internet at my new apartment. Promised me that I will receive a confirmation email by EOD, Feb 16. Nothing arrived until 48 hours and I called them back again. Called them back again (48 hours before my move) and found out that the first guy did not do his job and they have to run a credit check to get this move approved. This is insane, after being with the company for 2 years and never missed payments on my wireless for 9 years. But still I went ahead and approved it as I need internet.
They scheduled a installation on the day of my move. Technician never arrived. I called them back and they said, my installation was deferred to 3 days later due to a glitch in the system that did not process the request. I need internet badly as I work from home. They promised me that I will be taken care in 3 days, which I did not want. I spoke to another person asking them to cancel my account, when they asked me for a reason to cancellation, I explained them what happened. Then the agent said, there is no 50 Mbps in my new area and someone gave me false info. I was stoned and asked them to waive the credit check as it was a false promise. They disagreed and asked me to work with credit department. This is after talking to 8 different people and hours on calls during my move process. Finally a sales supervisor offered me $150 credit on my account and to forget everything and cancel the account. I had no choice but to accept it.
The same evening, I bought internet service from Comcast, bought a router from Best Buy, called them and got my internet activated. All in less than 2 hours. I have my internet and job. Thanks to Xfinity and their awesome service. Then I called AT&T back to confirm the cancellation of my internet account. They promised me that it will be taken care. I received no emails for any calls or activities performed by any agent until this point as "AT&T has a policy that agents cannot send emails. All emails will be automatically send when the orders/services are taken care by the system". Technically you have no proof of anything promised by the customer service agents.
When I escalated about the agents, they gave me confirmations but I never get to know what happened to those agents. They say "they will perform an internal review and take action". Then what’s the point of giving me a reference number for my escalation. It’s just a game. Spoke to 4 more agents after that to address the issues. No luck. Finally, I saw a credit on my account for $150 on Feb 21st. Thought my account will be closed automatically. Finally, this is March 18 and my internet account was still active and I was charged for the month of March. This time I did not get an email for my wireless account bill. I missed my payment on time. When I logged back into my account on March 15 (15th is my due date), it did not show my wireless lines in there. It just showed me my internet account which was supposed to be cancelled.
Tried calling support, was on wait for 30+ mins both the times I called and totally forgot about it. Today I finally got hold of an agent that said there is noted on the account to cancel on Feb 21st and he does not know why it wasn't cancelled. Yet I am being charged. Then he mentioned to me that my wireless phones were moved to a different account and he added the account to my online account. Then I saw the bill and they changed the billing date to 12th instead. Now I missed my payment by over a week for the first time in ages. I never received an email or notification that my account will be split or migrated. Yet I will be charged a late fee next month for no reason (I know this is going to happen).
Finally the guy transferred me to the cancellation department where the lady said she closed the account and I will get a refund the credit amount on my account. I did not get any email yet and it is in a limbo at the moment. At least this person sounded like she knows what she was doing. Hopefully, this time they actually do some work. This company taught me a lesson for staying loyal to them for years. It used to be a good company. I work in the telecom industry. I stayed with AT&T when I was working for Verizon (2014-2017), leaving my employee discounts, just out of loyalty. And this is what this company gives back.
I spoke to couple of other friends of mine that moved away from AT&T in the recent past and they said "BAD Customer service" is the reason. Now I am educating everyone that I know about what happened and trying to save them from this non-sense. Please share my experience and help more people in staying away from this company. Unfortunately I have 4 phone lines with this company at the moment that I need to. I wish I can get out of that AT&T Next program and get out of this mess right away. If you guys know the best place to write reviews, please let me know. I will take time to write reviews and save more and more people.

Outright fraud or just incompetence? My wife and I received pre-order offers for the new Samsung s10+ smartphones on our emails. That offer included free bluetooth earbuds and a $150 trade-in allowance for our used Samsung S7's. Having been an AT&T customer for over 15 years we elected to go down to the local AT&T store and see if they would match that offer. Upon our arrival we were greeted by a sale representative, I explained the offer from Samsung and without hesitation he stated "Oh yes, we can do that here as well". Great we thought, this would save time and we could make sure our order was correct and the proper cost were applied so we pre-ordered two new s10+ phones. The sale representative had us remove the screen protectors and take the phone out of the cases so that he could inspect them, they were in perfect condition.
He stated that we would receive a label when our new phones arrived in order to return our old phones for the $150 trade-in allowance for each of our two s7's. Fast forward two weeks, the new phones arrived however there was no return label. We took the old phones down to the local AT&T store to find out what we needed to do at this point. The sale rep at this time told us that they would take the phones in and we would receive a $50 trade-in allowance for each phone. We explained that we were promised $150 for each phone, the rep stated that we ordered our phones on the 22nd of February and the $150 offer ended on the 20th of Feb. We asked for the manager who stated that the sales rep that took our information for the pre-order may not have known that the offer had ended and there was nothing they could do. The manager told us to contact Samsung and see what they could do.
Of course this was complete BS but we contacted Samsung anyway, they said we would have to go through AT&T for any trade-in rebate since that is who we placed the order through. By this time we had spent collectively about 3 hours on the phone and in the store with one rep or another and were getting nowhere. I called AT&T customer service and spoke to Ella who could barely speak English, she basically said there was nothing they would do and when I tried to explained that the mistake was by AT&T and not us she rudely began to talk over me and would not shut up. It was like talking to Bon QUI QUI, very unprofessional, I wasn't surprised at this point. Warning, if you dare do business with AT&T don't take their word for anything, it is the classic bait and switch, make sure everything is in writing and I mean everything. If they can do this to a 15+ year customer just imagine what they will do to you.

We really haven't had many problem with our AT&T wireless service - until we moved from Ohio to Fla. I cannot get my "service address" to match my billing address (where we actually live). Tried for half an hour with one gal, for whom let's just say English isn't her first language. It's like she couldn't understand anything I said! I had to repeat every single thing at least 2 and sometimes 3 and 4 times. She finally, after wasting my time for about 25 minutes, transferred me to a guy who was little better, and after repeating everything to him twice, he said he'd have to call me back. We have a wireless service deal offered to us right now from Xfinity (who provide our internet and TV) and believe me it's sounding pretty good right about now. This level of incompetence is unacceptable from a company the size of AT&T.

My son's cell stopped working after nearly 4yrs of use. After failed attempts of troubleshooting over the phone with ATT and one trip to the ATT wireless store, I was advised (by the ATT rep) to utilize my protection plan and replaced the phone. No problem. I call ATT and the ATT rep proceeds to tell me that because my phone was purchased 3-4 yrs ago it's no longer covered under my protection plan (mind you I pay monthly for the protection plan. I insist that she pull up my protection plan on her computer; however she says all she can do is offer me an upgrade (telling me to buy a new phone). After I tell I'm pulling up the details of my protection plan, she begins to get a little testy and only then does she give me the phone number to Asurion (the company that handle ATT insurance claims). Asurion was absolutely wonder and helpful. ATT was NOT, and I will be leaving the company. Very disappointed in ATT.

The only internet providers available where I live is Comcast or AT&T. Since I hate Comcast, I use AT&T U-verse. The speed is adequate but I have to reboot more than I'd like. However, the customer service is much better than Comcast and is the reason I switched to AT&T as soon as U-verse became available.

We have used AT&T for over 10 years. The reliability of the service is excellent. The installation went fast, efficient, and was explained, in detail, by the install tech. The customer service has deteriorated. More and more, the company is using overseas individuals who have difficulty understanding specifics and American nuances and colloquialisms. The speed is could be improved but suffices for us.

AT&T would only rate a 3 from me and that is being kind. I am sorry to say that I do not think their service is reliable since I cannot depend on it to be consistent. Some days it works and some days it does not. Then to call customer service is a joke. Most times you cannot understand what the person is saying which is sad. They do not want to transfer you to the United States saying a multitude of excuses. If you finally state that you want to stop the service completely, then they will transfer you. Only on one occasion have they failed to do so, which I understand is most probably against the law. AT&T use to be a good company but now it lacks a great deal of being anything but a good company. Unfortunately there are only two services where I live and other than that, good luck with the choice of services you have access to. We do not have a choice! SAD!

We have mostly good service, however, from time to time we have outages with no explanation. We had to have a tech come to the house because we could not access the internet and some settings had to be changed which the tech could have handled. We had to take the PC to a friend who charged us to do what the tech should have done. IF it happens again, we are going with another provider.

I was a loyal AT&T customer for over 15 years. Despite numerous discussions with representatives from AT&T, they would not reduce my cell phone bill, I had five lines with them and should have been grandfathered in. When I finally decided to switch carriers, they asked me repeatedly if there was a reason I was leaving. The final straw was when I received my final invoice, I was billed charges for time I had already cancelled and they refused to remove the charges, despite having two of their employees who said I was correct and the charges should be removed. They have horrible customer service and they do not keep their word. DO NOT use them.

Weak cell linkage and one has to move to different locations in order to receive a strong signal for reception. Customer service is right on. Certain personnel are extremely responsive in assisting with lowering a costly family and friends bill. Wish their trade in and buy back policies were more competitive to invite greater sales on new model phones.

Started with AT&T on March 5th and been trying to log in on my account for almost a week. After chatting to 10 different people along with supervisors and calling to leave a message and never getting a returned call I come to the conclusion that AT&T doesn't care about the customers they have. I transferred 6 lines and bought all new phones. They will be returned by the weekend.

I went overseas in March of 2018. Before going overseas, I contacted my wireless carrier (AT&T) to inquire about unlimited data for overseas use. The representative informed me of a plan that would provide unlimited data (wireless) while overseas and added it to my plan. When I returned, I was met with high overage fees (over $400). I contacted AT&T who informed me the representative had misinformed me and that I could dispute the bill. I went through the dispute process, during which time I received no communication from AT&T. I contacted them again, and they said I'd have to file another dispute because the first one hadn't been resolved yet. I did filed another dispute. The representative at that time informed me that I did not have to pay the bill until the dispute was resolved (usually within 14 business days). Again, I received no follow up call or contact from AT&T.
At the end of 14 days, I called them again, and no decision had been reached. I filed yet another dispute. This went on for 6 months, always getting different answers from customer service on the right course of action. Meanwhile, the charges (from late fees) were adding up and I could not get straight answers from anyone. The bill is now over $1,800!
Finally, I contacted AT&T corporate to have this resolved - they indicated they could not help me, despite their customer service agents and representatives giving me wrong information on each call - not to mention - they originally made the error of selling me the wrong data package to begin with! They canceled my service, disconnected my phone number, and now are threatening me with collection action. I would like to formally complain that AT&T has abysmal business practices that are not in favor of the consumer and are misleading. I would like these coverage charges and late fees removed and no collection action to be taken.

I traded in my iPhone 6 on a newer model. I live in a small town with no AT&T store so I did everything in line and then mailed in my old phone. The phone was in perfect condition...and I got $19... Yes $19 for a phone I’d paid $800 for from AT&T. I was furious and outraged, I’ve spent hours on the phone trying to get the trade in dept and would you believe those slimy cheating people won’t get on my call. Well, of course you can believe that... I will never trade in a phone to them again. I could have sold it outright to someone and gotten at least $50-75, if not more. I’m very disappointed in AT&T. Another thing to add to the list of issues I’ve had with them over the years.

AT&T has hired the worst bunches of rude people to service their customers. AT&T had awesome plans and nice promotions but me and my bunch of friends are leaving AT&T due to their customer service people. 3 times I called for my Apple Watch and every time I got different information from 3 people. They don’t know what they are saying. Finally I followed Google and found my answers. They are extremely rude. Not sure why. I can be wrong at times but not all the times.
I got a message that my Apple Watch plan had been changed. So I contacted them to check about the same. But somehow I wasn't able to remember my passcode. Brandy from AT&T was adamant that she needed the passcode but I was a human being. Wasn't able to remember it. She was literally not helping at all and finally I had to request her if there is any workaround. Then she gave a workaround after a huge mental torture. I AM not sure what she got torturing me. This happened today March the 10 morning 11:15 am CT. I am leaving AT&T forever. Enjoy with your awesome customer service.

I did my due diligence before signing up for AT&T's travel plan. They have two: The International Day Pass for $10/day or the Passport plan for $60. Since I was traveling for two weeks, the Passport plan made more sense. When I got abroad, I noticed I wasn't receiving any texts. Turns out, you have to turn on the SMS as well as iMessage on your iPhone in order to receive text. Who would know that? It was really annoying since the plan provides for unlimited text and charges for 35 cents/minute for phone calls.
Also, When I got my bill, I found I was charged an ADDITIONAL $60 for my shared device (which I did not bring). There was no mention of $60 PER device for this plan. Also, just to add fuel to the fire, I was charged the 35 cents a minute for all the calls I needed to make while abroad to ask why I couldn't receive texts! This is NOT how one wants to spend their vacation - dealing with a sloppy phone company and their poor communication skills! They did refund me the $60 for charged for the extra device.

I'm a frequent traveler, within the United States and internationally. Was happy with AT&T international plans for a long time but something happened last year and now it became a totally awful experience. First, at some point they introduced two types of international plans for different countries: One is $10/day, and another is travel passport with two or three different packages (I think the most recent is 1GB and 3GB). Catch - I learned about this hard way. Travelled to Russia twice and in summer, all worked great on the $10/day plan. I triggered automatically when the phone was used abroad. So, if they fail I didn't even bother to check what changed, and ta-da - got a $400+ bill. Why? Because something changed between summer and November and apparently I had to buy a passport because the $10/day wasn't working in Russia anymore! How anyone supposed to know about the change?
I called and the AT&T person was nice, tried to help and apply a passport purchase but said she would need to open a case because the reimbursement amount was higher than she authorized to provide. Well... The case was rejected? Why? No one can tell. I was penalized for not knowing that AT&T was going back and forth with changing the way how international plans work in different countries. Also, there is no option to refuse a $10/day plan. So, let's say you aren't a big phone user and travel for two weeks in Europe, in which $10/day plan is triggered. If you get or place one call per day from your phone you'd need to pay $140 for two weeks. Why can't you use a $60 travel passport instead?
Finally, the customer service recently was absolutely useless. They used to be very helpful in working with you on correcting those things. Now it's just - whatever, you screwed. At this point, I can say it one of the worst services I received in the past several years. Will definitely be looking to switch to another carrier with better international plans. Or, at least, with better customer service.

First of all I joined AT&T last year when they had a $50 Visa gift card promotion after 3 months of service. Did I ever receive the gift card? No! I may have spent $100 worth of my time trying to get a $50 Visa gift card card that would never come. Next, I changed plans and the company actually took all of the money I paid for one month on one plan instead of carrying it over to the new plan as though I had left their company. Finally when I went to their consumer community websites no matter what you post it's answered by company trolls. Some of the posters answering questions had 10s of thousands of posts on the site. What a joke. Bottom line is it's a horrible company with awful customer service. Don't fall for their Visa gift card promotions--you'll never see it.

There is not enough space here for me to describe the nightmare I am trapped in with AT&T (not that I think Spectrum will be any better if I make the switch - nor do I think anyone will want to endure my telling of this endless saga). I asked them to upgrade the modem because it is so very, very old. I also asked them to increase the download speed from SIX mpbs to 100, hoping that will stop all the buffering and loading and interruptions in the middle of programs. I was told that my neighborhood is "not eligible" for anything faster than download speed of 6, so live with it, I guess. They mailed the modem and when the tech guy came, he said it was "the wrong thing" that they sent (is it? isn't it?) and that if he installed it, I would "lose" my internet service.
What does that even mean? He left without doing anything. I have this thing in the box and have no clue what to do with it - or about it!! And...(drum roll...) now my Google wifi add-on no longer works, so I can only use my laptop and iPhone in one section of the house. But wait, there's more. I had a box where there used to be a television that I no longer use, so I figured it's time to stop paying the "per box" fee for that particular box. I gave it to the technician. The very next day, I was unable to access ANY television in the house until I selected the (forced choice) one I wanted to eliminate, because I am only "authorized" to have one in the studio OR the kitchen - not both. That's not true. I have been paying for YEARS AND YEARS for boxes in the bedroom, kitchen, studio, and dressing table.
I gave back the box for the dressing table, NOT the ones for the other three locations. But wait, there's more. Someone whose English is at about 3rd grade level called me the next next day to introduce herself as my "account manager" and to inquire as to how the service call went. After I explained what all had happened, she said, "I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience and thank you for choosing AT&T." I have heard NOTHING from anyone at AT&T. Disgusting. How much worse can SPECTRUM be?

I was promised a promotion and never received it. I would call every month and was told "pay your bill, on the next billing you will see the discounts" and nothing, three months in a row and every time I would call, I was being told the exact same thing. AT&T is a joke, the customer service is horrible and the way they con people is disgusting. I do not recommend them to anyone!!! I do not understand how big companies continue to get away with this. And God forbid you refuse to pay for something that is incorrect, they will send you to bill collections. Absolutely the worst company!

I move to an apartment in January. I have never work with ATT because I have never like it. But it was the only option that the apartment's manager gave me. The agent that I contact was the one working in this complex. She told me that before I pay my first bill contact her and she will take away the $99. Installation fee. When I received my bill I try to contact her many times. Finally someone told me that she wasn't working here anymore but sent the info and she will remove it. She did not do anything. I contact directly ATT that is really a pain because I was on the phone for more than 1.5 hours talking with different people. Finally the last one told me pay the bill without the installation fee, after the 27 that starts your new bill it will disappeared.
Guess what that was not true. Yesterday I call ATT again, and again for more than 2 hours talking with different people. Finally they just agree to reduce the installation fee in half so that I need to pay $45. And today I receive my bill and now they are charging $10 extra for late fee. Seriously, this is the worst worst company. They don't care about the client. They promises something and it is not true. There are liars. And of course the client NEVER WIN. They are the ones. I'm so upset about this situation. The worst thing is that they made you work with them for 12 month and because it is the only option that the apartment complex gave you so AT&T takes advantage of it. WORST SERVICE, WORST COMPANY. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND THEY ARE LIARS.

I had my son on my phone plan and he got a new phone and we had the installment plan. My son got his own account through AT&T and what was supposed to happen was a transfer of billing...this was in January Well, someone from AT&T opened a new account for him and neglected to transfer billing. Both he and I gave permission for this to happen as we both had to be present at the time. 2 months later, several calls and several chats and several store visits, this still has not happened. So, I am paying on a phone I don't have and a plan I don't use and he is as well. AT&T is double dipping and I plan to seek an attorney as this has went on far too long.
Today, as a last attempt to get this remedied, I went in to the store in Whitehall, Fairmont, WV and the manager was just awful. He totally dismissed me and sat in his chair. Didn't even bother to take his eyes of his iPad or get up. When he did speak to tell me that he couldn't do anything to help, he was very rude. You all need to get better management or better yet hand this business off to someone who cares about their customers.

It has now been 4 months, and the phone is still unable to be added to the family plan. I've called and complained numerous times, and am always told I must wait yet another 30 days.

Each agent required the same ID information, description of problem, blah, blah, blah... repeat, repeat, repeat, and can't fix the problem. The matter then gets escalated to "crickets". I also spent 5 hours today waiting for an install. Tech was suppose to be here between 11am and 1pm. The on-line link showed the install was in progress and the tech was on his way, all afternoon. Unless he was Casper, the friendly ghost, I never saw him.
It took two hours, three agents, just to discover they were overbooked and rescheduled me for eight days out. I guess as a customer, I am to be at their service. I've been a customer for over 13 years. Should have slashed their services long ago. My TV and internet services were never flawless...the buffering and stalling was probably due to the inability of their cable to transmit data from both devices simultaneously.

My family of 8 people have been using AT&T for at 5+ years. Not anymore. After being repeatedly treated poorly by the customer "service" team we are switching to a company that we have actually heard good things about (AKA Verizon). You might think we would be treated as loyal, valued, longterm customers. Especially since AT&T has SO MUCH competition and because customer acquisition is so expensive. But no. AT&T doesn't seem to want to retain any customers.
My husband lost his phone (with AT&T coverage) on a flight this month. While waiting on the lost and found claim, my husband decided to use his old iPhone until he got his current phone back from the airline. He called AT&T about obtaining a SIM card to use during this time. He was told very rudely to go online because that request can only be completed online. He then went online, searched for about 20 minutes and found no information about how to obtain a SIM card. So he started a chat with a customer "service" agent. The agent didn't know the answer to his question, or where to find anything on the website, and told him he would have to buy a new phone.
The next day he called AT&T again, and they told him that to obtain a SIM card he would have to go to the store. Well guess what, like most normal people he works during the business hours of the AT&T store around us. So he asked to please complete the request online. The customer "service" agent then said it was impossible. So my husband said he wanted to cancel AT&T service. The customer "service" agent was very rude and immaturely huffed and puffed, saying "okay fine" like a middle schooler being told to go to their room. No attempt was made to try to keep their customer of 5+ years. And no attempt will ever be made by my family to use AT&T again. In a world with so many coverage competitors, AT&T needs to try a little harder to be something more than totally disappointing. Bye AT&T, Hello Verizon!

Customer service? More like disservice and mediocrity, if you ask me. After about 5-6 years of being a loyal customer to these deceptive lying hypocrites, I experience the tip of the iceberg. During these 5 years, I have only used the most basic internet service they provide and I paid my dues every month, never complained, always paid on time, quietly allowed them to raise my rates for the same basic service, etc etc. I had just moved to a new home last week, and I called them in order to change my service location. They then proceed to tell me that I have a whopping $473 balance from a "Directv" account under MY name, and in one of my old addresses from 2014. They go on to tell me that because of this balance, they cannot go forward with the process. Mind you, after 2014, I had moved to a different address where I was NEVER notified of this balance nor did I have any issues. So how does this balance just suddenly appear now??
I have NEVER subscribed to DirecTV and NEVER used their service before. So they then direct me to the 1-800-531-5000 line, and the man tells me to file a police report for fraud and to call back with the case number. I file my report, I call back, and a woman tells me that I'm supposed to call the identity theft department. So she transfers me. The agent of identity theft quickly tells me that this is AT&T's mistake, that the account belongs to another individual of the same name, and she asks me to call the 1800 number back and ask them to contact "credit inactivations" and that "they will override this account." I call the 1800 number FIVE TO SIX TIMES, waiting an entire HOUR for each call, and every single one of them tells me that they are "collections" and that this is the identity theft department's problem.
So for the next 5 hours, I'm being transferred and thrown around back and forth by both Directv, At&t, and "identity theft department" who ALL tell me to call another number, claiming that there is NOTHING any of them can do, they all cut me off when I try to explain what the other idiot told me to tell them, and basically I end up wasting 5 hours of MY TIME, for a RIDICULOUS situation that I am not even responsible for!!! The next day, I give this corrupt company a second chance to fix THEIR problem that THEY'VE caused, and all I get is more robotic scripted responses and a RUDE woman from the "identity theft" department who interrupts me, refuse to listen to me when I explain to her that the other line refuses to do what these people have asked, and she HANGS UP on me. YES, AT&T hangs up on its OWN PAYING customers!!
So in conclusion, this deceptive company will try to charge you insane amounts of money for a service that you NEVER used, AND they will use their untrained, unprofessional and RUDE employees to read their deceptive scripts to keep you from getting these charges removed. AT&T lies right in your face and tries to paint you as the perpetrator, then if they're unable to shove you to another phone line so that you can become someone else's problem, they hang up on you.

Retail store was shady with upgrade practices and now I’m paying the price. All I want is for my bill to reflect the services I have. After 4 transfers of people not helping me, the last representative I spoke with transferred me to the loyalty department because she felt they would do something for my inconvenience. She thought after hearing what I went through warranted some act of integrity on AT&T’s part.
I guess she really doesn’t know who she is employed by! Not only was my billing issue NOT resolved, the crappy $25 credit I was told I would be offered at the very minimum wasn’t even true. Instead the oh so generous people of AT&T offered me a plan upgrade instead. Mind you these are the last line of defense associates before someone cancels service. 2 hours and 17 minutes later, Nothing was done on my behalf. The thing is all I wanted was my bill to be correct and nothing more. The “loyalty representative” was snarky and said it cost nothing to cancel except paying off the devices thinking that would scare me because I just financed the new iPhone X and I have my daughter’s phone on installment.
I understand that’s $1400 and is a big hit at one time, but I’m so disappointed that I’m ready to put the balance on a credit card to walk away from this nightmare. I have excellent credit and I’m sure T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint would love to have me as a customer.

I’ve been with AT&T for well over 6 years and have NEVER been treated with such disrespect and disregard for the truth. I upgrade my phone 3/4/18 to an 8S iPhone. It had static and issues that very night. I called a technician and he mentioned the static before I could. This phone gradually began to have other issues as well. After hours on the phone and repeated trips to the Apple store I was finally given another phone 8/4/18. I had the VERY same issues right off the bat with this second phone. Again, many hours on the phone and trips to the Apple Store, I was given my 3rd NEW phone 10/4/18. I didn’t even make it home until the static (worse than ever) began. I was livid and so tired of messing with these 3 defective phones since March.
I decided to trade to a Samsung Galaxy 8S+ on 10/11/18. Well, once I got home I realized that only 600 of my 3,500 pictures and videos transferred. I had been given a mailing label when I got the new phone and asked to mail the defective iPhone back within 10 days. But, once I realized I’d lost so much I began calling over and over and trying to find someone, ANYONE who could help me retrieve my pictures so I COULD send the old phone back. EVERY TIME they’d try to transfer (in every way possible). I’d only get duplicates of the same 600. I was also asking With every call and visit for extra time to get my pictures which they said they would allow.
Finally, 11/28/18 after spending hours in the AT&T store with a couple of technicians I was able to see my original pictures and videos! SO the phone was wiped clean and I went straight to the USPS to mail it back. And unfortunately later that night I looked all over the Galaxy for those pictures... They were nowhere to be found! So here I was AGAIN spending hours on the Phone with tech support trying to locate the pictures... And there was not a thing I could do because my iPhone was on its way back to AT&T (I believed).
From this point until 12/15/18 I was told they hadn’t received my phone and I would be charged $350. I have NEVER MAILED ANY PACKAGE THAT DIDN’T REACH ITS DESTINATION...until then. I have no idea how many people I had talked to that day about this lost phone. I ended up speaking with a very RUDE lady, CONNIE, in collections who said there was nothing I could do...pay or have my service terminated!! At this point I got rude and asked to speak to someone OVER HER.
A nice man came on and said he could open a case for me... They’d investigate and try to find the lost phone. AND until the case was solved I wouldn’t have to pay ANYTHING. I remember asking him over and over and over about this “Not paying ANYTHING until they ended the investigation”. He assured me that was indeed how it worked... I wouldn’t pay ANYTHING. He said they’d be in touch with me with updates. NO ONE FROM AT&T HAS EVER CALLED ME ABOUT THIS CASE OR MY BILL!!! I, on the other hand, constantly called because I really wanted to know what happened and where that phone was.
The entire rest of December 2018 and January 2019 I STAYED ON THE PHONE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY HOURS...trying to find out the status of the case. I really wanted to know where that phone was. I even called the USPS FRAUD DEPARTMENT enlisting their help to find the phone. This Federal Government Lady asked which carrier I used. When I told her AT&T her comment was sharp as she said that AT&T is NOTORIOUS for treating customers this way! I was absolutely blown away! She advised me to Google “I’ve returned my phone to AT&T and they say they haven’t received it”???? I think anyone who has an issue with AT&T should Google their issue. It’s time they were exposed!!!
It is 2/20/19 today and my service was cut off on 2/17/19...just the day before I was on the phone with “Hannah” who had tried by remote support to help me on my Galaxy (yes, the pictures)! She realized just how messed up all of this was. She was even going to send me an iPhone X because of all the s... trouble I’d experienced that had wrecked my life since last March. She gave me an order number and said it would take an extra day due to President’s Day Holiday. Well I did get an email stating the details of the order along with the same order number and a phone number to call and track it.
I called and talked with several people about WHY my service was suspended... No one had a valid response. I finally spoke with "Elaine" last night for 1-1/2 hours and asked her if she could help me find out about my service AND if she could track the iPhone X for me. I gave her the details I had and guess what??? NOT A VALID ORDER NUMBER! And when I went back to look at the email again...it had disappeared. I had not moved or deleted it because it was so VERY IMPORTANT!
All she saw was that my bill was overdue and a note from another hateful lady, Amanda, who said she’d warned me that I had to pay an amount I had never even heard of in ANY of my calls. As far as the case for my lost phone which was mailed 11/28/18 but never found, I’m not satisfied at all that they evidently sat down and did nothing for these few months but allow my bill to keep increasing with fees and more fees. I WILL NOT PAY THIS!!!

Done with the lies on the notes compared to my notes I’ve been taking during this entire time!!! I called the post office I’d mailed it from and even spoke to the clerk who waited on me when it was mailed. She had no idea what could’ve happened and asked if I had the tra.

I received a confirmation number and was told they made a note on my account and there would be no further issues. Yesterday they called me again saying they never found my phone and if I dont pay bill by next week I will be charged late fees.
I then proceeded to contact the U.S.P.S. I provided them with my tracking number. They notified me that it is sent through a third party shipping company and, they only keep those records for ninety days. I opened a case with U.S.P.S. Conveniently for AT&T they contacted me after the ninety days. I continued to research my issue and found this isn't uncommon. It seems to be their policy although corrupt and deceptive. They offset the price of their defective phone by charging the unfortunate customers that receive them through mail fraud. I've spent 8 hours on the phone trying to resolve this issue with AT&T, and the U.S.P.S.

AT&T, another American company whose sole objective is to satisfy its shareholder of the company before satisfying its customers who provide the shareholder with profits. Actual circumstances with ATT: I called to request reduce rate suspension due to finding a much lower mobile plan. One month later I realized I was still being billed the full monthly service plan fees. A call back to att again to request a reduce rate suspension which was processed as of the time of the second call.
I then contacted ATT office of the president who stated due to ATT's policy they were unable to backdate my request and therefore I would be responsible for paying att the full rate even though I did not use the service. In conclusion, ATT has hired software programmers to design their programmer in favor of its shareholder and to extract maximum profit from the American people without any consideration of customer satisfaction.

Not only did we have poor signal throughout our apartment that we were paying a pretty penny for, AT&T made MULTIPLE mistakes on our invoice throughout our year contract and tried to pen it back on us. Our service was shut off because a new neighbor moved in and typed in our address and AT&T did not think to ask us if we cancelled the service or not or why someone else was registering with our address. Next thing I know, we have no internet, TV, and are slapped with a cancellation fee. It took THREE days to finally get a hold of someone who didn't try blaming us for the situation and looked into their records and saw that THEY had actually made the mistake. Numerous situations on a smaller scale happened like this but we didn't want to pay the cancellation fee so we stuck with them.
THEN we are a month out and I have an emergency situation and have to move out, I call the customer representative who assures me 3 different times I will not be charged a fee, and to just turn in the equipment on time... Well what do you know, now I have a hefty cancellation fee with other surprise surcharges and when I call customer service, "Can't do anything for me, and we apologize for the inconvenience but the fees are valid." AT&T, you will NEVER have my business again and I'll be sure to spread the word to everyone I know that you are a crooked company with uneducated employees!

After 3 years of AT&T service I recently switched over to Sprint. I tried to stay at AT&T but they offered nothing to me except an increase in price (I have 5 lines). Needless to say the cancellation process was a disaster. The rep didn't know what she was doing, the final bill was incorrect, they credited me, then billed me again and then sent me a threatening letter. To top if off I just spent 24 minutes on hold and no one from customer service even picked up the phone!

Hi, my name is Ryan **, I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio... And I was an AT&T customer from approximately March 2016 through September 2017, and I have regretted it ever since. I should have known that AT&T services would have been questionable because the day that I was receiving my phone in the store, I was behind four different customers and every single one had complaints. From bills that they should not have been receiving, to defective equipment.
I had stated to my salesperson that I wanted a phone at no more than approximately $80 a month and service as it was just myself and I used very little data at the time (I would primarily use Wi-Fi on my devices). My salesperson said that my credit record had qualified me for nice and newer at the time LG G4 phone. And as a bonus, it should have been lower than that because I was supposed to receive some form of monthly discount because the company I was employed with a company who was part of some form of a business partnership with AT&T.
So I had received my LG G4 phone, and I had problems from almost the very beginning... The phone had a tendency to overheat, so I told them I wanted a new phone, and they were able to do that fairly quickly (to their defense), and when I received my new phone it did the same thing, so I finally just bought a few extra batteries through walmart.com, and made sure to turn the phone off for at least an hour a day. But then came billing, although my phone was supposed to have been financed and paid within a month, for some reason extra charges were still being added on to my bill to pay off the balance for the purchase 4 months later.
And even after the phone was purchased, my bill was still never less than $90 a month, and since AT&T had such poor reception, my calls were quite frequently dropped, I always had to pay for extra data because my phone could never properly read Wi-Fi at any location that I was at. And when I went to the store to try to have these issues rectified, customer service was frequently rude to the point of almost wanting to yell and fight you. Customer service over the phone had always stated that it's "because we do not have new towers in the area where you're using your phone at". So when they start charging extra for the extra data that I used (which burned up more frequently than it should have, plus it was such a low streaming quality that I wasn't sure half the time whether or not it was actually ever released to me, because the phone texts would say that I was charged for it, but half the time it stalled out after 5 minutes of usage).
So I canceled my account, and went with a lower charge provider... And as of today, 2/16/2019, AT&T still has a collection department saying that I owe over $500. Good luck with that??? If you think that I am paying a bill that you imagined because you failed to provide a service at the promised prices, of a lower quality, while consistently adding hidden charges, keep dreaming. As of today, the collections company was kind enough to inform me that I could settle this $500 debt at a 60% discount at the request of the customer, and I had stated to the collections department that I do not owe this debt because it is imagined on the behalf of AT&T, and now this collections department has my account under review.
The moral of the story is that AT&T has so many hidden charges, so much double talk, and is doing everything that it can to take money out of your wallet while providing you a lackluster service. I tell everybody around me that will listen to avoid AT&T at all costs, and they are not receiving this $500 from me. If anything, they probably owe me $500, at least. Note, this ConsumerAffairs website will not allow me to proceed without giving a rating, so I am giving AT&T one-star because I'm required to. Amazing: A corporation can put something onto my credit record that affects my future because they feel like nickel and diming me to death, but I have to give them at least a star???

We started this process with AT&T of trying to return phones and cancel contracts the end of September 2018. We traded phones for two reasons: 1) our service was really bad, 2) we have had a hacker on our system for about a year or more and no one was helping to get rid of the problem. I have over 500 screenshots showing problems with this. The last straw was the hacker got into our AT&T account and Wells Fargo locked it down. I couldn’t even access my own account. I had been telling AT&T for about a month that I couldn’t access my account, I was locked out and they kept telling me that the company was probably working on it. Not true!! A HACKER HAD CONTROL OF IT. No one would check. The next thing I knew someone had a shopping cart full of phones trying to check out with my credit card.
We talked with the Retention Team, a Vincent, and got commitment to cancel our service and contract We had to follow directions and return the phones. Which we did. I have been addressing the issue of $1,732.74 with AT&T since last November. Phones were returned to them through their Retention Team representative Vincent. I have receipts for everything. I have the tracking number on the phones through USPS. We were charged by AT&T in November and it was reversed because the phones were found in their warehouse in Texas in THEIR!! possession. I have copies of letters from AT&T and my bank to that effect.
I contacted AT&T today 2/12/19. I spoke with several people. It was once again determined that the phones were in AT&T possession!! I was told that the account would be credited and zeroed out not to worry. I asked for documentation in writing and will forward this when or if I get it. This company is not too dependable. It is now the 15th and I did not receive anything from AT&T. I did send a letter of Dispute to the Credit Agency they have trying to collect this debt I do not owe and I received a letter back from them stating they have received it. I have asked them to not report this mess to the credit bureau against me. I have a credit score over 800. I will see that they are reported as well. I have had enough after months of this mess. What a mess. Turn people over to collections who don’t owe a dime.
So here starts the reporting process. I am out over $6,000 to date going on their recommendations to escape or get rid of the hacking situation. Buy more phones, buy yourself out of this contract and use another technology. I blindly followed recommendations, what a fool I have been. Now look at this mess. The last set of phones they even cut them off so abruptly we couldnt transfer any information or data to the new phones we have now from another company.

To that they rudely answered that the call did come from my phone and that there’s no way those $70 will be reimbursed. I have been a customer with AT&T for 4 years now. And it was sad to see they wouldn’t even consider further investigation and would charge me for a spam activity! I asked what if this keeps happening every month.

When I first signed up with AT&T in 2014 I'd get my bill in the mail on the 5th of each month and it wasn't due until the 21st. But recently I didn't get it until the 8th or the 10th and it was due on the 17th. The closing dates on the bill is the 26th of each month and since it takes 3-4 days for mail to get from Carol Stream Ill to the west coast that means the bills were sent out until the 5th or the 7th of each month, almost 2 weeks after the closing date, but were due on the 17th and minus that 3-4 days mail time that meant the we had only 3 days to check a check in the mail with out being late. I called their customer service and all they could tell me was 1) I could pay online or sign up for auto pay, but since the system has been hacked at least once a year for the last 4 years, that didn't seem like a very smart option. or 2) I could pay my bill at one of their stores which would mean driving 15 miles into town to make a special trip just to pay my bill.
I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about the short time between getting the bill and the due date and was contacted by AT&T giving me all the above options and to them there was nothing wrong with their billing system and she said they were giving us plenty of time to pay the bill or we could just use the above mentioned options the were an inconvenience for us and didn't matter to them. I contacted BBB, got a rebuttal from AT&T, solving nothing, replied to BBB's message asking if they satisfied my complaint saying they didn't and AT&T responded to me again and it was the same exchange of words again, but this time she said she'd forward it to corporate which to me is a polite way of saying ** you. So I'd suggest that if you have a complaint about AT&T about anything, file it with the Better Business Bureau and with enough complaints against them we can hold their feet to the fire and make them straighten up and fly right.

I am OK with the product although I often find areas where the LTE connection is not available but for such a large company, a simple matter of logging into the website to check my bill or to make a payment when I want is often horrendous. You come to a screen that says something like, "Give us a moment, we are almost there" but I never get there. The asterisk continues to spin.
This happens day or night. At the same time there is the issue of having to enter a simple password multiple times to get to the point of "Give us a moment---". So, I am waiting to wait. It does not matter if both the User ID & the Password have been entered key by key & visually verified. It is really enough to make me consider changing to another brand.

You CANNOT cancel new line with your old. That's what the CS at AT&T tells now and same at corporate store, but over the phone sales they are practicing this tactic to sell. Now you have to keep the new line otherwise second device you must pay full price as well. While selling they are giving other information till they charge the amount and deliver, after they don't care. Keep it or leave it. That's the AT&T system and now we cannot do anything.

We were upgrading 1 line and adding another. The additional line was for my business and the existing line was for my mother. The guy processed the orders as 2 orders, I paid sales tax on the devices, and he set it up to ship to the to separate addresses. All good right? Wrong.
We were supposed to have our devices on February 8th. So on the 7th I requested tracking information, after all week chatting with and calling their customer service, being reassured that the orders were still in progress the way the app and website showed. They were not in progress, they had been cancelled on the 2nd. After having the rudest customer service rep and then the rudest "supervisor" (we don't think it was a supervisor). We did find out that the orders were cancelled and there was "nothing they could do."
We called another rep and he reassured us that he could easily correct it, salvage the original phone number that I had used on my business cards, but would have to pay sales tax again. Okay, whatever, I need my phones. He processes the order, I pay sales tax, order placed. Enjoy, their delivery service cancels the delivery the very next day. Call and enquired and once again reassured that all is well. Wrong. They processed the order as a different promotion that was buy one get one half off, and they didn't salvage the number. Great...
Then, oh yes there's more, they cancelled the order. Again. And yet again asked for more money. I made them go in and request cancellation because their system still didn't show any of the orders cancelled, and miraculously, no one can help or "do that." They can't do anything, that's another department, who transfers you back to the original department who sends you somewhere else, who yells at you and threatens to shut the whole account down, who then says they have submitted a case, which they don't, who then lie and tell you the order is good and it's a "weather issue." But when called out about that it becomes a "warehouse issue." I'm a Verizon customer for my personal lines.

I’m done with these people but hope others don’t get in their web.

I have been an AT&T customers now for many years 10 or better and still am. All service in my house and even my summer home is supported through AT&T. But Let me tell you the worst experience I have ever had doing the week of 02-18-2019. I purchased a new cell phone from AT&T customer service a 700 dollar phone. They sent the wrong one. I mean totally wrong. Trying to change the order I was hung up on at least 9 times before I finally got someone to try and help me correct the order. By the time I did it was days later and the phone had arrived.
They told me to take it to the Mansfield Texas store on 287 and what did I do that for. This was the rudest place I had ever been. Now, I was told to take it back there. They refused to take the phone back, I was told I would be charged a restocking fee. You need to send it back. I replied. "Sir, customer service sent me here." My wife and I got so frustrated and tired of the way customer service and service people at the Mansfield Texas store treated us, it was so bad we just kept the phone and walked out. I will never go back to that store ever. I wish there were a ZERO star. They would not call customer service online to read my notes that were filed about the exchange.

I've been led through such a nightmare by this joke of a company, it's pathetic. The only constant you can expect, and the one thing that they actually excel at, is LIES. They will make empty promise after promise, but never follow through on any of them as they continually contradict themselves; every single "representative" they have is a joke.
This starts back in October 2018. I received an "insurance replacement" phone (AKA refurbished POS), in the middle of the month. The screen discontinued functioning shortly after on October 20th. I have been paying the $12 BS insurance plan fee they gouge you for, yet it wasn't until January 8th, 2019 that I finally received my replacement. Keep in mind, it would have gone for a longer period of time had I not been told by their insurance company, Asurion, that I needed to contact the AT&T Warranty dept to have my replacement filed.
What the **!? I was literally put through so much nonsense and fed so many lies (i.e. they set up appointments for me at the local APPLE store - they did not), this would have not even been rectified by them as they are completely incompetent in everything they do. I had picked up a cheaper smartphone at Walmart and jumped on a $30 per month plan, solely to have a functioning device I NEED FOR WORK! That was an additional cost on top of paying ridiculous fees and service charges for that nearly 2 month period. Even though I did not have a phone!
I was lied to yet again, during this time, and told I would be credited for the time I had not used my device. More lies. After I finally received my new device, they had me waste more hours of my time on chat, only to get transferred to a "supervisor" who cut my chat short because I was irate that she offered me a "one time courtesy credit" of $25. Excuse me? Are you serious? She wasn't sure why they promised me this credit (I'll give you a hint: I DIDN'T USE MY PHONE BUT PAID OVER $500 DURING THAT TIME!), but that's all she could get approved. Apparently, they don't like being called out on their lies, so she disconnected me. That's the first thing you look for as a pissed customer, because if you're a so-called "supervisor", you should have basic customer service etiquette, and that includes LETTING THEM VENT! Once again, another useless endeavor and waste of time.
This gets me to my next gripe, as they've disconnected my service multiple times during this period, just to add to my stress and aggravation. The current disconnection was only just resolved, as I had to waste more hours of my life for this. They reviewed my account and saw that I had JUST CHATTED IN 2 DAYS AGO to have my billing adjusted and my service restored! But, once again, my service is cut off this morning! I wasted about 5 hours of my day on 2/5 just to confirm the $25 credit would be applied, but of course there was ZERO notes on my situation. (The supervisor disconnected me and didn't have the decency to notate my account. Pitiful.)
After waiting and waiting and waiting, that supervisor said she would notate my account (about time), and that I could call or chat in later that evening to have it adjusted. Seriously? Why the hell she couldn't take care of it then is baffling, but it's all just part for the course for them. I then wasted another 2 hours chatting in, just to have to go through the entire situation once again, and finally told I would be issued this "one time courtesy fee". LOL, I corrected that rep and told them this was not even remotely considered a courtesy by me after all the BS they've had me wade through.
After that adjustment, I asked to have a returned check fee reversed as I had never done so prior. Nevermind the fact that I had to have my debit card replaced due to them charging my account multiple times without my consent, them promising to reverse them of course, but nothing more than complete and utter lies. My point is, after these adjustments and the crap fees they tacked onto my bill, I had a $38.37 balance to "restore" service. Those credits were for $55. I literally had to point out basic Math to these idiots only so they couldn't explain why the hell that adjustment was made, yet they clipped my service again today due to that "outstanding balance"?!? Again, $55 is more than $38.37. End of story unless you're these criminals.
All I want to do is get away from them ASAP, but with my service constantly being shut off I can't even inquire in time before I have to go through some more ** hoops in order to use my phone again! Nevermind, that I travel constantly through the mountains of Kentucky and North Carolina for work, and their carrier service is garbage. Stay away from these crooks if you want to have peace of mind along with a functioning device. They are unscrupulous liars.

I could go on and on about all the trouble I have had with AT&T over the years but there is no time today because I have spent half the day on hold and being transferred. This is BY FAR the worst company I have ever had to deal with. We only have them for service where I live. I have auto draft and am paperless but wanted to see a bill today. Online would let me do everything but it would not let me view my bill. Tried to chat but that just kept going all over the place.
I called and spoke to a woman that told me she would be glad to send me a bill at the cost of 5.00!!! Are you kidding me??? I told her in no time ever was I going to pay to get a bill. She explained to me in the best broken English that she could that I could not view my bill online until after Feb because of some conversion by blah blah, didnt understand the rest. I can pay for a bill or wait until the month is over. This company I would NOT want anyone to use. Their system makes no sense except to pass you to another department over and over probably until you get mad enough to hang up so that nobody has to deal with you. They are the absolute worst and the second I am able to get another service I will be gone and never look back!

In May of 2018, I visited an AT&T store for a new phone and was sold a phone at 50% of retail. As of this writing, I have never received the discount. I was told that to get the discount, I would be required to bundle my home phone and DirecTV services for 3 months, which I did. Now, 9 months later I am being told to get the 50% off, the offer is for a 30 month bundle with DirecTV. This is news to me and is certainly not what I was told at the store.
I have used AT&T home phone (5+ years), AT&T internet (5+ years, another rip off nightmare), DirecTV (5+ years) and AT&T mobile for 9 months. AT&T does not care about customer service and use dishonest bait and switch practices for the services they provide. I will be sending a detailed description of the dishonest way I have been treated and the sub-par products and customer service to all of the AT&T CEOs and higher ups in an effort to wake this company up.

AT&T Customer Service is HORRIBLE and 100% LIARS‼️ No one wants to be accountable for their actions and promises made to me. This is not about the $20.00 a month anymore, it's the principle that they have lied & put me thru all this trouble only to not hold up their end of the bargain. I am a RE/MAX Realtor in Ashland KY. I have had AT&T services for over 20 years and have loyal to the company.
I have 9 devices that I pay for every month with AT&T, I can't even imagine the money that I have spent with them over all these years! AT&T has promised me via 3 Representatives, 1 in writing on the Chat Session with a lady named “JESSICA” of which I emailed a copy to myself for documentation (Chat Transcript Reference Number: ** DATE/TIME: 2019-02-04 17:32:16) that they would set me up a Nighthawk Hot Spot So I then went through the process and purchased this $199 device from Best Buy of which it arrived this evening and I immediately called AT&T at 8:20PM to have them go ahead and connect the device as suggested by the AT&T supervisor.
I first originally spoke to a girl named “TIARA” at approx 8:20pm and she told me she was located in Alabama. She told me that she didn’t think that I could connect the device with the unlimited plan, I then been told her what the supervisor said two nights ago along with Jessica on the Chat Session told me to do and told me exactly how to “work around the system“ she then put me on hold and spoke to her supervisor and said that they were going to take care of this for me and that they would honor that since the man told me with his supervisor, as well as the lady named “Jessica” on the chat session who also told me and that is in writing of which I have the copy.
So Tiara spent about 45 minutes on the phone with me and had it all cleared and even gave me a phone number that is assigned to the device of which that phone number was ** so when she connected me to a automated system that would activate my device it did not work so it automatically connected me to another person at approx 9:30pm of which that person’s name is “LAYNETTE”. She told me that she couldn’t find anywhere in the system that Tiara talked to me at all. So then she transferred me to a gentleman by the name of “MATT” and he was a ‘number specialist’ that apparently takes care of transferring phone numbers and Matt told me he could not find where that phone number lead to as well, and this wasn’t something that he could handle in his department, so he then transferred me to another department to a lady named see “NICA”.
Nica then proceeded do the same thing everyone had been doing all night, which was make me explain what was going on because apparently they don’t keep documentation of what they tell customers! She then finally told me that she cannot put it on my account for unlimited service, I then asked her to speak to her supervisor of which they connected me at 10:40PM to “SAMANTHA” at the “LOYALTY DEPARTMENT”, ha that’s a joke! Again I went to the exact same thing and had to describe everything that had happened and all Samantha did was proceeded to tell me what they had as far as hot spot packages and refused to honor what 3 other people in customer service told me that they would do! I then told her to transfer me to her supervisor and by this time it was 11:20 PM on a work night that I have been on the phone since 8:20pm with customer service.
Her supervisor's name was “ADAM” and I asked for Adams OPERATOR NUMBER which is SJ3CNB5 and Adam told me that he could not do anything as well even though I have been lied to by three other people and I had spent 3 hours and 17 minutes on the phone! I hung up at 11:37 PM tonight and decided that it’s not about the money at this point, it is the fact that they told me they would do something and they are not honoring it! They had me go purchase a $199 device in order to do exactly what they suggested I do and now no one wants to be held accountable! UNBELIEVABLE!!! The CEO of AT&T is Randall L. Stephenson, I hope you know what kind of people are running the CUSTOMER SERVICE Dept at AT&T. Needless to say I will be moving all 9 of my lines to another competing company after 20 years of doing business with AT&T, there's nothing worse than a LIAR!

I've been with AT&T for a while now and decided that I would give them more of my business because on the mobile end of it I was satisfied. But my mother wanted a iphone so I decided to get her one. I went into the sales location in Chicago on Michigan St downtown and I was promised if I added a new line that I will receive high speed internet at no cost for life (as simple as that). So I went for it and soon after I receive a bill stating that I owe $61 and I was confused and was told it was free. To find out the sales agent didn't inform me that the service is free after I pay my own bill up to 3 billing cycles in which I will be reimbursed with a check or visa card in the mail. I was pissed but I paid the bill, and I informed them that I was moving in two weeks and would need to transfer my service. Which will be free and to only take my equipment to the new place.
I explained to the agent that I'm sure they will need to come out vs a self install for my new address. He was so persistent on his end that service was already active and nothing more needed to do. I went home and hooked up the equipment and guess what the service didn't work and I called in they setup an appointment for tech to do a full install in which they promised would be free but I was charged $99. The tech came out and said that he couldn't complete the job due to node issues not being able to reach to my home and had to put a ticket in for special tech to come out and told me In few days I'll get a call to schedule. And guess what no one ever called and I called in to check the status and yes they schedule for a second tech to come out and he never came. He stated in notes he couldn't find my home which was a lie. He just didn't want to deal with it. Mind you this was the 2nd day I took off work for a tech.
They had to setup a 3rd tech to come out in which I had family member there for me because I couldn't take off work again. The tech comes and says he can hook it up and run the line but the node is so far away about time he stretches the cord from where it's located to my home I won't be able to get the high speed internet I was promised of 50mb. I would only get 1-3 mb. Which is no purpose and informed me that is nothing else they can do. I called on and spoke to several supervisor and agents and retention in which all said I would receive my money back and all charges would be removed and I had to call on over 15 times to get anything resolved. I was promised I'd receive my money back in which I paid on the acct $61 and AT&T sent me a check in the mail for $16 and some change. I called today to say I was told I get full refund in which the services was supposed to be free.
I spoke to someone name Jill from Michigan had horrible attitude and told me no such promotion and very existed. I asked her to please fully read the notes. She came back on the line with bad attitude saying "This is all you are getting" and that at&t do not give free services. I asked for a manager because she became more agitated and annoyed with me because I kept asking for manager. I was informed that a manager would call me back today and yes a manager did call me back her name was Melanie from Michigan as well. The manager called me and I answered she automatically started talking in defense telling me that the amount refund is correct and that I am not getting any money back with nasty attitude and her voice elevated telling me that her rep Jill gave me all correct information and that I cannot and will not get anything else from them.
I asked if I could speak to someone above her. She told me no and that I can't speak to anyone outside of her because she is the highest in authority. She became more combative and unprofessional, she didn't want to even hear my complaint or allow me to explain, she seemed already pissed that she even had to call me. I made a comment to her that it is clear as to why her agent disrespected me is because she has poor leadership in which who allows it. I am a SUPERVISOR and her both their customer service skills were beyond the worst I've ever experienced. Poor representation of AT&T.
My experience is way more worse than I am explaining I went through so much hell and I cannot put all other details but I can probably write a book and still came to no resolution. I was lied to and my money was taken plus I was treated poorly. Once I find another company I am taking my cell phone lines else where. I pay close to $300 for both lines in total. That's a lot of money to give to a company every month. That's $3600 I can give to a company that won't lie to me and take me through the loops and treat me like trash. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE...

I have called every month for 3 months in a row. All about the same billing problem. They make me explain it and transfer me and leave me holding every time. Last month I was literally on the phone haggling with them for 2 hours! I saved a screenshot of the phone timer. This month I'm on my second call - 1 hour last week and now on hold and counting (18+ min). It's a basic billing problem. They always admit they were wrong. But only after all the crazy explaining and holding. They won't fix it permanently. They keep telling me they filed "a case" but nothing is ever resolved and cases just mean nothing at all. It's ridiculous how little they care about longtime customers.

We have been with AT&T for over 10 years and have generally had a good experience. Recently however, we noticed there was an issue with our bill as we were being billed in two separate instances for the warranty services. Several months ago we were offered a family service plan in which we would pay a monthly amount for all of our phones to receive repair services if needed.
At the time it was a better deal than paying for each individual service plan, so of course we changed our plan. We were told that the old plan (with each service plan being paid individually) would be removed and replaced with the new service plan (a family based plan). Since we've generally had a good experience with this change was accepted and we were happy to be saving a little extra. Unfortunately there was some sort of mistake and we continued to be billed the old service plan per phone in addition to the new service plan! We understand that this had to be a mistake so we called customer service to have this resolved.
After review, they noted that we were in fact double charged for the same service for at least 18 months. The representative at the time stated that because the refund amount was over her approval amount she had to send the case to a higher authority to be reviewed and signed off and they would be getting back to us. After approximately 2 weeks, we still hadn't heard back so we called again. The rep again found exactly where the mistake was and stated that the issue was close to being approved and that we would again be contacted.
Again after another week, still no update, so we called again! The new rep stated the credit had been approved and should be credited to our account shortly. After more time goes by and still no credit, we follow up once again to another rep, who also recognizes the issue, however states that it was our fault for not catching it and they would only be able to credit up to 3 months! What? SO firstly, should I and all consumers now automatically assume that AT&T is purposely ripping us off? After we've been loyal for so many years, I didn't think that I would have to check to see if I was being double charged for something!
Secondly, how is it possible that you can only credit up to 3 months, when you can clearly see that we were double charged for 18 MONTHS! And yet this is my fault, correct? How? What kind of crooked company makes the mistake of double charging their customers, refuses to fix it, and then adds insult to injury by stating that we should have caught it? Lastly, we were already told as of 1/28 that our credit was approved and would be applied... How is that suddenly different? I'm sure all of your calls are monitored, AT&T can easily go back into their call logs and verify ALL of this information, instead all we're getting right now is the runaround!

I wanted to upgrade my very old iPhone to something cheap. So I called AT&T service and a rep stated that I was in luck. I could get an iPhone 6S free of cost. The phone itself was for $120. I would be under a 24-month contract and $5 would be detected each month and in the first two billing cycle, I will get a credit of $120 that way the phone is free. The rep mentioned I'll have to pay $30 activation fee and taxes for the phone which was another $30. I accepted the offer. Now to think of it I should have known it was too good to be true. The agent was probably trying to meet their sales quota. The only thing she mentioned that the phone will be a new line with a new temporary number.
As soon as I get the phone and activate it, I have to call the call center to transfer my old iPhone number to my new phone that way I still get to keep my old number. Once the phone came, I did the transfer and my new iPhone 6S has my old phone number. Fast forward a month later, I get the bill and it is $179. I was stumped. My bills are generally at $95 and I knew I had an additional $30 for activation but other than that it just did not make sense. I also saw my bill and now I'm paying for an additional line. The number on the additional line matched the temporary number. I call the call center to dispute my bill. After an hour of talking to multiple agents, my call gets cut with no resolution.
I call back again and after more than an hour and multiple department transfers, (please note, each time phone is transferred to another department, I have to explain the issue from scratch!), a rep said she has adjusted the bill to $100 for 36 months contract and I have a 6GB plan from 4GB or have the phone returned with original packaging (which I could not as I threw the package) but I have to pay the previous month's bill of $179. Also, the rep mentioned that she cannot remove the new line as the offer is on the new line. Ok, I was so exhausted after all the calls, I paid the $179 and accepted the $100 offer.
Fast forward next month, my bill is now $130 and my data plan is 1GB!!! I get back on the call, again for an hour, explaining the first-month issue and second-month issue before each department transfers. This time the rep says the best she can do is adjust to $107 per month for 36 months! At this point, I have lost all my trust as I'm sure there is no guarantee with what's adjusted and what's on the bill! I'm super frustrated with this whole experience! Given a choice, I want to get out this whole contract and return the phone but with two small kids in the house, I cannot think back of getting on the calls for an hour and explaining all the issues. This is what you get for being a loyal AT&T customer for 10 years!!!

I did so, I was told that everything was fine. In early November I called AT&T and verified that I had been approved for the discount.

In January soon after the BBB complaint, Jim from the "Office of the President" called. Left a voicemail. I returned the call many times and finally he called back after several days.
He said I need to wait another billing cycle and if the rest of 15% was not on the bill, he would personally add the credit. When asked why he could not add the credit at that time. No answer for that question. Now, today, Jim calls and says that I am not approved because my current plan is not allowed. But, if I change plans I should see a discount and no change in services. I was never told until today that my plan was not allowed, just the opposite. The corporate store, said I was fine, all calls to AT&T customer service said I was fine but just wait another billing cycle, and even Jim said I was fine... until today.

I was recently traveling to Australia and New Zealand. I was told by AT&T a number of years ago about their “day pass” program. This was supposed to allow me to make calls as usual and use data for $10/day. When I returned home from my trip, I did have a number of Day pass charges, BUT there was a mystery “call” for $148. Please note that there was NO EVIDENCE of this call on my itemized bill. It just showed call charges of $148 but no breakdown of this alleged call. I have a copy of the bill available and sent it to the FCC for my complaint. I contacted AT&T via chat to ask about it. As per usual, the customer service with AT&T is the worst of any company I do business with. Bar none. I have a copy of the chat available.
The gentleman said that the charges were valid but really could not explain why they were on my bill. I asked to talk to his supervisor who provided NO assistance. He just kept insisting the charges were valid however again, it is NOWHERE on my bill. I asked to talk to his manager and he had the audacity to refuse to transfer me. I then had to call in cancel my service. I spoke with “customer loyalty” and the gentleman said that he would get a manager to help me. He then had the audacity to transfer me into your 1-800 help line. I cannot believe this negligence and incompetence. Actually, in looking at the stories on here I am starting to see I am not the only one. The woman who picked up the phone had no idea what was going on and since I had asked to talk to a supervisor and she was not one, she put me on hold for an HOUR (yes, One HOUR) to talk to this supervisor.
As is to be suspected, the supervisor was of no help. I told him that I did not recall making these calls and since they can furnish me with no records (dates, times etc.) neither can they. He just kept insisting the charges were valid (without any proof) and that what he claimed happened was instead of charging for a day pass, he said that the calls were made over Wi-Fi (which is worse – AT&T had no hand in those charges if they were indeed made through another network) and again refused to help. I am beyond disgusted with AT&T’s “service” – this is TWO HOURS + of my time for charges that they have not even been able to prove happened? What is wrong with AT&T?? If this is not fixed promptly, I will be terminating service.

As in cancelled in June and then in January they decided I was still with their service AFTER it had been cancelled for six months. The agents (after being on hold for an hour) ask ME how to proceed.

Last Friday, FEB 1, 2019, I tried to contact AT&T to have their internet service installed. I was assured in a chat that their fiber service was available at my address, I could get 100 Mbps for $50/month for one year with no installation charge. I would also get a $100 Visa card. At some point I was directed to call (844) 855-7715 for further assistance. A gentleman whom I could hardly understand and who could hardly understand me, tried to help, but couldn't. I once again tried online and was once again directed to call the same number. I waited until today to call. I reached a young lady this time. We understood each other, but the $100 Visa was reduced to $50, and I could not qualify. I could, however, qualify for a $100 card if I simply bundled my internet service with something else. I think something is wrong. I have never seen any fiber optics cables being installed in front of my house. What is happening, AT&T?

I got AT&T internet in my home about three years ago. At the time it was cheaper than the competitor, and I could have installation the next day rather than waiting a week for others. I've come to realize that the reason why installation is so fast is because next to nobody in my city has AT&T for internet, for good reason. Over the three years I had AT&T I have had at least five different modems. Most of them have died because my city is where AT&T tests beta updates for their modem software. Sometimes AT&T would cover the replacement for the modem, more recently that has been on me. Calling customer service about this their line was that it was "my fault because it was in my home" which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I've now switched to Charter Spectrum which is 10x faster than the internet I had before for about the same price.
I'm currently trying to cancel my AT&T service, but of course AT&T makes that a hassle too. You can only cancel your service over the phone. You can do NOTHING at a physical store. Problem is that if you don't remember the answer to all of your security codes (despite calling from the number connected to the account) they do nothing! How do you update your security code? You have to physically go to a store. So I had to drive miles just to change a four digit code just to cancel my account. AT&T doesn't do anything to make you stay voluntarily, but they do everything in their power to make sure you can't leave.

My first time with AT&T and I immediately had problems! They ported my phone over from another carrier, but I didn't get my messages and calls for two days. I tried calling their tech and spent more than a couple hours trying to get my ported messages, but they couldn't resolve it. Told me it's gone, lost somewhere. Since I didn't get my messages, I did not respond timely to them which put me in a bad position. Then comes the first bill! It was a lot more than what was quoted to me by their sales Representative. I called up their customer service to go through it with me, but their foreign representative argued and talked down to me, took an hour of my time trying to ask her my questions. Then she dropped my call! Or was it deliberate. Can you believe me using my AT&T wireless calling AT&T customer service and my call was dropped!
In another call, they said I was talking to the wrong department and proceeded to transfer me to another department, which department said I was transferred to the wrong department! Also, AT&T taxes are a lot higher than other carriers, definitely higher than my previous carrier. Stay away from AT&T, you won't get any of your issues resolved, but they'll easily take your money. Forget making a complaint to their manager, that is if you can get to one, as they don't care!

I've complaint before, they offered mini 3G-cell tower for solution... Still bad, but guess was the only choice back then... Then, the past month, when I finally left AT&T mobile carrier, they don't even prorate the last bill. I left AT&T on Jan 11, 2019... Was charged all the way from Jan 2, to Feb 1, 2019. Total final bill over $240. When I called and complaint about it, they mention "it's on your contract when you signed up." Really? AT&T...? I signed up years ago... This is such bad business practice, very disappointed with AT&T or any other carrier who doesn't prorate customer's final bill. This is so unfair and deceptive!!! I am glad I have no more business with AT&T. I will give -5 stars if I can!

Been AT&T for 8 years. Never have had good help or experience. Everyone find no contract plans somewhere else. You would get a much better deal dealing with a devil than you would with this greed driven corporation. My most recent issue has been needed a SIM card for my new phone on my family plan. I was out of state, and they would not mail the card to me. I went to the AT&T to get one next out of state, which they replied sorry, even with the main account holders permission over the phone with password we can only mail it to their address, or they have to be there in person.

I've been with AT&T since they were Cingular Wireless. I was always loyal to AT&T even when all of my friends were shoving T-Mobile down my throat. But I've realized how much they rip me off today. I got a "BOGO" deal for my birthday last year and the rep painted a BEAUTIFUL picture for me. 2 iPhone Xs for the price of one. How could I say no? I specifically asked if I could port over my wife's line onto the new iPhone line and the guy was like "Yeah, of course!" Only to find out by signing my soul over to AT&T, they didn't mention that you HAVE to keep an extra line open to pay for this device. Not ONCE did the rep tell me about this. I called AT&T to tell them what happened and how I wanted the extra line that was costing me an extra $67/month ($804/year) given back to me. The woman's response was "Well you signed the agreement".
AT&T Next is supposed to be an alternative to a contract so how was I tricked into doing BOTH?!?! No. If your sales rep didn't bother to mention this to me, as he is TRAINED to do, then don't make it my fault. I'm also paying a fortune a month for 2 mobile lines, a data line and a watch line and they tell me this is the best they can do? Definitely will be leaving AT&T at the first chance I get and not looking back.

I laid in bed doing research on the best wireless home internet provider. After looking over the landscape, AT&T seemed to have the best product. I called the sales number, I spoke with a very nice representative. She sold me a cellular service on a tablet assuring me that it would meet my hot spot needs, that I would be taking advantage of a promotion that was happening and that I would have internet when the new tablet arrived in a few days. I provided my information my credit card, and eagerly awaited the sales email and my next steps. The email never came. I waited 24 hours. I called customer service. The AI was unhelpful and finally dropped me off to an agent. The agent took forty-five minutes to tell me the account activation URL, and finally that my email could not be updated for thirty days.
My tablet would not ship until I activated the account. No other contact from AT&T until the tablet arrived. The tablet activation did not go well at all. The process is designed to be simple. Seeing as how my email was incorrect, I had to call customer service. I was on the phone with the customer service team for about 45 more minutes, and the agents finally direct me to the nearest store, 20 minutes away. I arrived at the store and waited (second in line on a Tuesday at 6pm) for 30 minutes before the store manager decides to help me. I spent nearly an hour and half in the store while multiple associates worked with AT&T corporate to rerun a credit check on my account to unlock the tablet.
During this time the AT&T manager politely informs me that the AT&T solution I was sold will not meet my use case, namely home internet at 4GLTE speeds up to 100GB per month. The tablet will be reduced after 15gb. We then proceed to activate the tablet (approximately 45 minutes of waiting for the store's reps to work through a complicated process with the corporate customer service team.) In the end, I ask the store manager, can I swap the tablet for the right hot spot and start paying the $100 per month for the 100GB plan. This would make me whole for the time spent, the horrible customer service, the complicated process, etc. Answer, NO. I don't have that authority. Ok, thank you, please keep your tablet and your service.
Sixteen days later, I get a bill in my email, which AT&T corrected in the course of the above process, I owe AT&T $86 for a service that I never used. I call customer service, who transfers me to an account specialist, who then says that the store manager never completed the reason for tablet return and never cancelled my service on a device I no longer have. The account specialist asks if I can go back to the store and have the store manager update their records, so that I could avoid a $150 cancellation fee. I this point, I simply said "are you kidding me, No!". I was then transferred to a cancellation specialist. This person removed all of the charges for the service I never used and waived the $150 fee. I made the same offer to this specialist, listen, send me the hot spot, and I will give your service a try for a month.
For one last kick in the teeth, The cancellation rep says that he'll send me to the "so and so " team and they can help me. For the 9th or 10th time, I explain to another person the story above, and make the same offer, and which point, the last rep says, "the only team in the company that can do that is the cancellation team, and I hate to the be the bearer of bad news, but they sent you over to me, because they really don't want your business."

We had AT&T "High Speed Internet" in our neighborhood for years with a maximum speed of 3.0 MBPS. Because they seem to be trying to get rid of customers in our area, the 3.0 service is no longer available with the only option being less than 1MBPS and no phone service at all. It seems like AT&T is banking on 100% wireless service at some point in the future and is not interested in its customers in the meantime. Our neighborhood wound up paying Time Warner Cable (now Spectrum) $60K to run service to us from about 3 miles away. It was definitely worth it - 300 MBPS, and reliable (our AT&T service couldn't even claim that). AT&T seems like a VERY poorly run company which had better wake up before it's too late.

I switched over from Verizon to AT&T Wireless because I had Directv and they said they can give me free HBO and $25 credit on my Directv bill per month for the life as long as I keep my AT&T plan. Was fine until I added another line to my account, that is when the nightmares began. I lost my bundled discounts even though I was assured that adding a new line would not eliminate the discount. Tried calling multiple times to get this discount back on my account, and was told each time it was probably a mistake and they would take care off. Yet each month it wasn't. Finally after the 3rd month, I was told that the plan I was on no longer exist, and that by adding a line, they moved me over to a new plan. (wasn't something that I was originally told).
So after "not kidding" over 15 hrs on calls over days, I finally was able to get with someone on the combined billing department who said they would be able to credit me back the $45 dollars that my bill has gone up by. The following month my bill doesn't change on Directv, but goes up by $145 on my AT&T Wireless bill. Someone they created 2 plans on my account, and one was some connected car thing. Was told by AT&T that I had to call OnStar to remove it. Tried calling OnStar and was told I don't have an account, heck I don't even own a GM car. Had to call back AT&T and was told the system was down for maintenance and had to call back the next day.
Following day I was transferred to the connected car department and they were able to figure out that someone activate the Audi connect for my car (which I had for a trial period that had expired 8 months ago) so they needed me to transfer to that department to have it removed. Then I had to dial back in to customer service to get my plan back to the way it was. Finally after 4 hrs on the phone, they said it was corrected.
Fast forward 6 days, I get a text message now that I've used up 75% of my data plan. I am supposed to be on a unlimited plan... Come to find out that the last rep moved me to a 3GB plan. And not only that, my Audi connect was still on... So had to call in again, and spoke 2 different reps who said they understand my pain and will take care of this, only to be told they need to transfer me to another department. Of course the call gets dropped! Then I call back wait on hold again for 20 minutes only so they can transfer me again.
They transferred me, 20 minutes on hold. Then a recorded message comes on saying that, “We cannot connect your call at this time, please try again tomorrow.” (Basically meaning the department is now closed.) 4hr wasted today and still plan is all messed up! Never again will I do business with ATT&T Wireless again. When contract is up, I am back to Verizon. Did I mention the coverage with AT&T is way worse than Verizon. Big mistake to ever go with them.

I didn't mind AT&T Wireless until a year after we switched to T-Mobile. We got a random collections notice. They claimed they had been sending us bills every month for the last year, when in fact, we hadn't heard from AT&T since we switched. We understood we were done with them. We confirmed they had the correct contact information for us. Again, we had never received any correspondence from them. The collection agency was able to contact us just fine, and they were given our contact information from AT&T. Once we were notified by this company, we immediately researched what was going on.
AT&T Customer Service was extremely defensive about the entire thing and didn't care that we weren't receiving their correspondence. They also refused to send us details from the account so we could see for ourselves that these bills were actually being sent (Ya, the ones we weren't actually getting). I had to ask my own specific questions about dates of correspondence, amounts, etc in order to fully understand what was going on. The collection agency was amazing! They helped us get down into the weeds to figure out what happened. Isn't this backwards? Shouldn't AT&T have done that?
My conclusion: The night we switched our cell phone service to T-Mobile, the account for AT&T was closed. It was at that point, some sort of technical glitch happened and the system was saying the bills were being sent, but in fact, they weren't being printed to a printer that was then hand folded and put into an envelope. (According to AT&T customer service, it was hand folded). AT&T needs to look at their system and fix this glitch. It was unnecessary and caused a lot of concern and credit score impact. I pay my bills. This was ridiculous. Even the collection agency said this is common... Ummm... Hm. I will never do business with AT&T again due to their customer service and system glitches.

It's such ** company that I have no words for. Their people lost my phone that I have returned and they charged me around $1000 for that. I told them so many times before it reached to that point and by the end of the they did the same what was excepted from them. I am switching to another network ASAP and will NEVER EVER IN life will let any of my relative and friends recommend that. Hate them so much and I wish them worst of the worst.

The BOGO offer was initiated in February 2018. The offer was never applied to my account and this was brought to ATT's attention in March 2018. In November 2018 I contacted them for a credit (credit close to $300) of the charges since March 2018. I continuously am put on hold or transferred and once the credit finally appeared on my account it was rejected internally and I am now showing a past due balance of the credit amount + a late fee of $5.75. ATT says they will research and call back, but mark your calendars because they do not call back. The customer must call them!
Another call (over 10 hours total in calls with ATT) was placed and no one was in the department to explain why the credit was not reversed and not able to explain why the monthly BOGO charge for a "free phone" was still being included in the invoice. So ATT is now attempting to bill me with the refund credited to my account + a service fee + BOGO phone (still). Advice to anyone considering ATT BOGO offers...DO NOT DO IT! This is going into its second year of nightmare reconciliation with a non-existent loyalty department. This long-time ATT consumer does not recommend ATT to anyone anymore and will be moving on after they provide me with my credit!

I’ll start from the very beginning: I decided to leave Sprint and transition to AT&T because I had internet with them and was told I was eligible for discounts. I got the phones with my ex but one month in he refused to pay his portion of the bill. I am in Georgia, he is in Texas, I had no way to contact him because I disconnected the phone he had. I reported the phone stolen and a rep changed the phone to a tablet on my account so that I wouldn’t be responsible for it, that should’ve been red flag number one.
After two weeks without my phone(s) I paid my past due bill Thanksgiving Day and had to wait for the following Friday to speak with someone to restore my service. I was then told my account became past due on the 21st for a NEW bill...it had only been 3 days so I asked to get a promise to pay for the following week, the guy told me yes but my service won’t be restored until the balance was paid. I called a week later because I got an email that my balance was $1,512 past due... I kid you not.
Mind you my account was 3 months old and I only had one bill past due for $252. I asked where the $1,200 came from and they told me I lost the buy one get one promotion after I reported the phone stolen and had to pay the installments on BOTH phones. I asked what exactly could I do to resolve the issue and the rep said to reactivate both phones. I had to get the police involved to get my phone back from Houston. I got it back and called to note to my account that I did indeed have both phones, they told me I had 59 days to pay the past due balance of $252 or they would send me to collections for the entire balance of $1,512. I called 49 days in to pay the $252 balance and requested an email stating that that was indeed the agreement.
I was THEN told my service couldn’t be restored until I paid a $188 U-verse balance which was extremely odd as their contract states if you cancel service and move where U-verse is not accepted or already being used you are not charged a cancellation fee. I gave my new address and stated my mom already had U-verse in the home. I was so frustrated at this point, I asked the supervisor if that was the only thing preventing me from restoring my service and she said, "Yes ma’am." They pulled my credit THREE TIMES IN ONE WEEK to tell me about a brand new balance from somewhere that had to be paid. I have been lied to SEVERAL times by AT&T, I have had to make SEVERAL complaints on their nasty disrespectful reps for telling me things like “it’s not our problem that the phone was stolen” to “why did it take you so long to pay your bill anyway?”
I have never in my life felt so belittled. Everyone falls into hard times and the first skill a customer service employee must possess is EMPATHY. They have NONE. They sent my account to collections for the phone installments...not the past due bills...but for THE PRICE OF THE PHONES well before 59 days which they WERE NOT supposed to do. Every other day it’s something new with this ** excuse of a company. They refuse to restore my service until the phones are paid for in full. NOT FOR PAST DUE BALANCES. If I had actual unpaid bills...ok I understand but I paid the bills!!! I will NEVER EVER EVER give or recommend business to this disgusting greedy company.

I started wireless service with AT&T back in June with a BYOD. In August, I decided to upgrade my iPhone SE to an iPhone 8 Plus using this NEXT program. I used the phone until October and ported out my number to try T-Mobile. Unfortunately, They do not have good service in my area. So I wanted to port my number back to AT&T and was unsuccessful. They kept telling me that I couldn't port my number back because I first needed to pay an old DirecTV bill of almost $1000 and then I come back to AT&T.
I kept calling and they kept telling me the same thing until I got lucky and got a rep who actually was able to reactivate everything. Well, I wanted to try Verizon. But unfortunately, they also do not offer great service here. So I again tried porting back my number to AT&T. They are telling me the same thing now that they did then. I need to pay this stupid DirecTV balance in order to come back. Except, this time everyone is refusing to budge. I think they're telling me this because they know that that is an insane amount. They know that after 60 days, you'll lose your account with them and they can charge the full price of the leased phone to you to get MORE money out of you. I use to be an apologist for AT&T and back them up on everything and this is the thanks I get. They nickel and dime you and only care about your money.

Well I thought perhaps I could get help, but after reading the myriad of one star, I guess I will just have to wait and work with AT&T in small claims court. Dropped them in August for a better provider and paid my last bill in September. Received a email a few months later indicating I owed them $180. So I looked up the payment history and noted suspicious payments and cancellations. I have 9 posted and canceled Electronic Checks for $60 each. No one at AT&T will agree that these aren't my checks. My checks have a different confirmation number + last 4 digits of the account number.
One supervisor actually told me, I don't know how electronic checks work, while another told me that $180 is my final bill? I have been bounced from Customer Service to Billing to Collection to a Claim number which means absolutely nothing since no one has acted upon it and every time I call, I have to reiterate the same story. I give up, today I dealt with 3 people and it's Groundhog Day the movie over and over again. I cannot deal with the system, at least I now have a decent provider, but cannot get rid of AT&T.

I returned my phone to AT&T, as promised, in their self-addressed return box with my non-working phone. Months later, they bill me for over $700 because they said I did not return my phone. After more exchanges with them, they finally said I did return a phone, but it was a completely different phone and they gave me the last four digits of the purported phone I sent in. It was completely wrong. So despite me having the tracking number indicating it was returned, the original IMEI sticker I retained from my phone, and hours of exchanges/chats/telephone calls with AT&T, they've refused to credit me back the $700 (I paid it because they shut down my service and it was the only way to turn my service back on). Apparently, this is a common problem and you can find on the AT&T community site. I'll be setting up a website to collect information from anyone affected for possibly pursuing a larger claim. Please stay tuned.

So this is my rant for the day. I HATE AND I MEAN HATE AT&T. They are crooks and liars. I did a buy one get one free cell phone 4 months ago. I got my first bill from that 3 months ago and I was being charged for the phone. I called AT&T they told me I had to pay for the FREE phone for 3 months then I would be credited every month after that. I said well I wasnt told that but ok I'll pay it. WELL today I get my bill that was supposed to have the credit on it and my bill was about $20 MORE than what I've been paying the last 3 months.
Long damn story after 2 hours on the damn phone with AT&T that I don't qualify for the buy one get one free phone because my DirecTV bill is not in my name. I was never EVER told that was part of the promotion. I was NEVER told that by any of the reps I talked to the last 4 months. BUT I WAS told today that that's the amount I owe and they WON'T do anything about it. I can't leave AT&T because I'm paying on phones. So ** AT&T and I will be plastering social media and tell EVERYONE I can. AT&T is full of crooks and liars and the second I can get away from them I will.

I have been with them for 13 years, I got real sick in the hospital kind and didn’t make my payments. Finally got out. AT&T sent me an email for 250$ off my owed bill to turn back on. I went down paid 1400$. Called customer service. Told them I have this email. Was called a liar then they hung up on me. Finally got thru after 2 hours of hold time and transfer from one to the other. Asked to speak with a supervisor did and she was so rude. Now at this point phones are on. I’m like okay forget it... but then that day 5 hours after I paid in full phones are working AT&T shut me off all lines lol.
Go down to AT&T. Use their phone to call AT&T then talk to a supervisor. Again tell him what happened. He was so sorry this happened. It was their mistake. He said, "I’ll get all your lines on now and you won’t be charged for fees." LOL bull. At first my bill was 42$ credit then the new bill comes on and I’m hit will over 800$ they charged me for turning all lines on and my payments changed from my DirecTV deal and my watch I was paying on now it’s pay in full LOL.
I think this company is so disgusting how they treat customers. So I say go somewhere else. I’m going to. Every month it’s something with them. They are liars. Dishonest in every way.

I'm not sure how AT&T maintains a good BBB rating anymore. Years ago, yes, now with the combined AT&T and DirecTV that you can't actually combine, nor combine bills or statements, or have to create a new user ID and Password EVERY MONTH. Then calling into the new updated friendly (sarcasm noted) customer service, they will literally transfer you to at least 2-3 different reps in different departments. This all started when my family and I moved from Ohio to TN. All 3 of our bills went up over $100 each. So DirecTV that we paid $45 month for went to $145, AT&T from $250 to $350 etc.
Now since the combined accounts that according them cannot actually be combined, you have to create a new login every time. However if you create one, guess what? Your other one gets wiped! This is beyond frustrating. We have been with both DirecTV and AT&T for over 15+ years and have never had to call in for an issue. Now we are leaving AT&T as a company. Sad. Also, read all the comments on the BBB now... AT&T response? - "AT&T considers customer feedback an important tool in improving our customer service performance. We appreciate opportunity the customer has provided to improve". How far the mighty have fallen...

This is by far the worst internet service provider co. I've ever seen!!! Customer Services is worst!!!

The lady started trying to sell me a mobile device from AT&T. I informed her I've Samsung Galaxy & I hung up. She sent me 4 threatening messages (they are saved in my cell) informing me if I don't get in contact with co. They are freezing my account tonight and there will be 10 USD charges as well!!! I am astonished. This month I went to the store on Preston Road.
They accidentally put me on internet only with no line use, the next day I went to 3 different AT&T locations all near Preston Road trying to get customer services to help me including my parent branch. Unfortunately the sweet Mexican guy who had sold us this connection was on leave hence the manager refused to help me. They all asked me to go to the opposite road side Preston branch where I had deposited my 55 USD payment. When after 3 hrs of wasted effort I finally went to the store where I had deposited my monthly payment yesterday the customer service guy apologized, fixed my issue ASAP, informed me any one of the other 3 branches staff could have fixed the error easily but they didn't want to do it... It left me with a bad impression that turned into a nasty impression as tonight I received below mentioned messages from AT&T technical support rep whom I called to help with my pathetically slow internet.
Although 2.7 out of my 8 high speed data is still remaining she sent me these texts: 1. AT&T Free Msg: We will cancel ** effective 01/13/2019. If you would prefer to keep this service active, please contact us at 800.331.0500. 2. AT&T Free Msg: While suspended this number will be charged $10 plus fees, surcharges and taxes per bill cycle. Charges may be prorated based on activity dates. So I ask what kind of company are you guys running where should we give your feedback.

I am from Park Forest, IL (Chicagoland area) just for perspective when reading this. I want to begin by saying that the most important thing is that everyone be protected and made aware of what AT&T is doing and how they are operating BEFORE you bring their business to AT&T. It is also equally as important that AT&T take responsibility for their representatives and employees, who drive the AT&T car, wear the AT&T logo, hold the AT&T clipboard, and come into our homes and lie/cheat/steal.
12.07.18 we had an AT&T tech installing our internet modem for our NEW wireless internet service. It was a holiday deal going around at that time, and I switched from Xfinity to AT&T. At this point everything is good! Same day, while the tech is setting us up, a white AT&T car pulls into my driveway. My AT&T technician WARNS me saying "yeah those consultants STALKS our installation appointments, trying to get their foot in the door to sell you on more services". What a team player- to say that about another rep from the same company, but was he wrong? No! At least he warned me. Like a fool???♀️, I decided to listen to see if there was anything else that AT&T could do for my family and I.
12.07.18, code name Ms. **, [an In Home Solutions Consultant/AT&T Sales Rep] came into my home with her AT&T tablet/IPad. She drove in an AT&T car, had on an AT&T jacket and an AT&T name tag with photo ID. Trust established. Ms. ** knew me by name, sooo she had access to my info, given to her by AT&T no doubt. I told her "not interested in cable nor a home phone line" 3 times before she asked me about my cell phone service provider. I told her "I had an unlimited plan all the way around with 12gb of hotspot @$85/mo before tax with T-Mobile". She handed me her business card (which did NOT have a home office/address listed nor did it have a direct number to the dept within the company responsible for Ms. ** and her practices/training... AT&T should correct this for improved communication purposes???).
Hang in there! I'm thorough and it's about to get good! She told me that AT&T was running some special promotions that would give me: 1. FREE internet (with a connected cell phone service) for life. 2. My cell phone service would be unlimited everything all the way around with 12gb of hotspot for $85/mo before tax (so exactly what I had at T Mobile). 3. A FREE Samsung Galaxy S9 with 64gb. 4. AT&T would pay WHATEVER I owed to T-Mobile for switching over to AT&T as long as it was under $500 (which my final bill was and still is $209.37). 5. I'd get a $100 Visa gift card for the switch over as a part of the promo. 6. AND because of the value of my phone at that time, my account would reflect a $121.01 positive credit. Where did this credit come from? I asked. Since I was getting a FREE phone, I would only be responsible for the taxes of the phone and so my trade-in device would give me that positive credit...
I knew that this was either a Christmas miracle or a scam. AT&T/Ms. ** took advantage of my optimism and better nature. I told her that she could come back on 12.13.18 after I had consulted my mother and husband about all that she had said AT&T could do for me. Between 12.07.18 and 12.13.18, Ms. ** and I communicated back and forth by text message, to her work phone number listed on her business card. I would be happy to provide screenshots of these messages to aid my case.
In those messages, We are discussing the FREE phone options, stating over and over that of the FREE options offered, I wanted a FREE purple Samsung Galaxy S9 with 64gb and to bring that device on 12.13.18. We kept using the word 'free' a lot-mostly me-to avoid any confusion (I was not interested in financing a new device and this was crystal clear). Deep breaths???♀️
12.13.18 at 1 pm, I let her in to begin. Present with us at my dining room table was my husband, my sister, Ms. **/AT&T party, myself and my mother who??? RECORDED THE ENTIRE SALES TRANSACTION??? Hands down, I win this one and I am happy to expose AT&T understanding that that would mean real change in business operations and quality customer service. She repeated (in front of all of us) E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G I mentioned above, (items 1 through 6) and supposedly was setting it up for me on her AT&T iPad right then and there. She repeated everything guys. Confidently. In front of all of us. I even asked her over and over to confirm the details of our agreement and I have it all recorded???
Looking back, After all the dust had settled, my family and I all sat down again and had to listen to the recording again??? That sales meeting went from 1 pm-4 pm CST on 12.13.18 and in that meeting she told me that: 1. She combined my internet with my wireless service so that I would be able to view & manage my internet and phone service on my app (still not able to do this). 2. After completing the trade in and transferring my information over to the new device, she said that she applied my $121.01 credit as a POSITIVE balance. 3. "Ported" my phone number from T-Mobile over to AT&T so I was officially switched and she reminded me that when my final bill came in, to just let her know so that she could send me a link to upload my final bill to AT&T, and at that point of uploading my final bill, my $100 Visa gift card would be mailed to me.
If you get the chance to listen to this recording of our being scammed by AT&T/Ms. **, you'll hear me ask Ms. **/AT&T "Wow! I cannot believe this. I appreciate that I get all of this but what do you get out of this? I hope you get something out of it." We all laughed and then she looked me in my face and said "Nothing at all!" Maybe that's true! Maybe it was a lie. Maybe she was trying to make good "end of the year numbers in the corporate world" to win a trip to Vegas or some place. Maybe AT&T does not invest the money they SHOULD invest in properly training their reps/consultants??? I don't know.
We closed that meeting all understanding that my next payment of $85 would come out of my provided account on 01.13.19. Nothing else was discussed. She stopped responding to me-her services went from selfless to selfish, from 5 star to 0 star, from texting me to not responding. I felt strange when she was not interested in getting more business from my husband the following week. I let it go because it was the holiday time AND I did not know at that time what she/AT&T had ACTUALLY done to me- not UNTIL 01.02.19.
We have reached the final stretch of the situation. I begin by saying that I have an automatic call recorder installed on my phone- no surprise there (I am my mother's daughter). At this point, we move away from Ms. **, and now at this point in my story, I am forced to try to clean up her mess with AT&T customer service representatives??? - What a nightmare. Like I mentioned, I record all my calls, SO! AT&T has access to hearing my struggle with achieving customer satisfaction and justice, being that record all customer calls to improve training or whatever.
01.02.19, AT&T charged my account $94.03 "woah! Where'd that come from?" I'm asking myself. I then look at my AT&T app (for the first time since 12.13.18) and I noticed that nothing had changed or updated since what I originally set up (which was just home internet $84.67 for the first 3 months and then $50/mo after all installation fees were paid). Very odd right? Since at this point my internet is FREE…Or should be.
I see that I have a cell service that is NOT being reflected on the app/account yet/still, AND she didn't tell me about a $94.03 charge. I tried to get answers from Ms. ** again, no response. I asked for her manager/supervisor- no response. I get on the phone with AT&T and for anybody who does not already know, there are 2 sides to AT&T a home side (for internet and TV) and a cell phone side- a worse nightmare!??? Each side does not have access to the other and Dear AT&T- that's just silly especially when you/AT&T are offering bundles and packages of combined services all over the radio and in ads. Make sense, right??
Everyone should be able to assist a customer, after they providing their account number and verification. I have some suggestions on how to improve business AT&T- give me a call! Customer service was horrific, hour long calls, half hour long holds, transfer to transfer, transfer to wrong departments, giving me wrong phone numbers and shady responses, all without results and without justice- I am truly glad I have all these calls recorded too??? Please request them from me.
I suffered for a week with AT&T- first week of the year. Hours of frustration and stress. I spoke to AT&T on 01.02.19 and 01.03.19 (waited for a call back from a manager, which was supposed to happen on 01.04.19 but that never happened??? even to this day). I got a hold of *code name* Sucka in the Customer Loyalty Dept on 01.05.19 (where I learned how ** up everything was and that I was tricked by AT&T/**) and all Sucka could say was “Sorry. These things happen. My department is not liable. Try calling the rewards department or In Home Solutions department.” And then gave me wrong phone numbers???
My last attempt to resolve this with AT&T was made on 01.07.19. This entire experience over the phone was like AT&T was trying to shake me, or as they say "give me the run around". Like as if it was Ms. ** job was to lure me in and then AT&T was prepared to slap me with a big ** bill and pray to God that it sticks- this is abuse and unethical and illegal. I won't stand for it because Ms. **/AT&T took it too far. This is what she ACTUALLY did according to the people I spoke to on the phone and Sucka in "customer loyalty dept”. What a joke-
1. They/AT&T Reps had Never heard of a free internet promo AND I did not have that set up by Ms. ** at all...anywhere... 2. Ms. ** did NOT combine my existing home internet with my new phone service. In fact! I had TWO accounts. One for internet (what I had set up before she came on 12.07.18) AND what she set up for me on 12.13.18... 3. This is the big one and I will take legal action- MY PHONE WAS NOT FREE. Ms. ** ILLEGALLY AND WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, ran my credit and Social Security number without my permission and set me up for financing the phone??? (on the recorded conversation, I ask Ms. ** "what do you need my Social Security number for?" and she responds "for added security on my account". I say "good. I wanted to make sure you weren't running my credit" and then the 5 of us laugh…all on the recording???
4. My bill was not going to be $85/month. It was going to be $170/month after tax for the service and phone payment… Ms. **/AT&T lied to me and got me to leave T-Mobile... 5. AT&T was not going to cover my final bill at T-Mobile unless I had early termination fees, (which Brittany neglected to mention or neglected to mention). 6. The unexpected $94.03 charge was to pay the difference between my $121.01 positive credit mentioned earlier and $215.04 (which Sucka said was my first bill total WHICH Ms. ** HAD NEVER MENTIONED AND EVEN TOLD ME THAT MY FIRST BILL WAS $85 BEFORE TAX AND DUE DATE OF 01.13.19).
JUST A MESS! So disappointing. All Lies. Sucka's only Solution was to notify Ms. **'s supervisor (but her department could not follow up on that and it was all out of the “customer loyalty dept” hands. Lol. What a joke). Sucka also asked if I would be willing to make 3 monthly payments for the device and THEN it would be free. Sucka said my options were limited because of my account being “so new”- whatever that means. How do you expect to get new customers and keep them AT&T???
Sucka asked me to call her dept back on 01.13.19, where somebody would be able to DOWNGRADE my service plan bringing my service fee $95/mo??? I turned it down. Sorry Sucka with the good hair! I'm getting what was offered and what I accepted and agreed to- nothing less. On 01.09.19, I happily left AT&T for Verizon??? before AT&T could continue to try to swindle me. Now I seek justice and now I am informing the public as much as possible. I owe AT&T nothing and I demand that the inquiry on my credit report be removed IMMEDIATELY for the fraudulent nature.
Dear President AT&T, I AM looking forward to hearing from you, as I now know that none of my story surprises you. I finally reviewed AT&T on the BBB and other online sources, and oh my! Just embarrassing. It doesn't matter how big the company name I guess- do your research to save yourself the frustration and stress people! As consumers, we have the right to be informed and we do not have to take this violation. I hope AT&T can improve their recruitment, training, customer service and sales practices! Invest the money on the front end or pay up on the back end.✌

I wish to give a 0 star rating if possible. I added a watch to my account, when I walked into AT&T store I was told to get an unlimited plan on my mobile which costed $86/mo (inclusive of taxes) and only then watch was added which costed $16.50/mo (inclusive of taxes). They also told me that without a postpaid mobile plan you can't add an Apple Watch to your account. They have synced my watch to my iPhone. I paid the same $102/mo to $110/mo for about 9 months and I've decided to port my number to Verizon since that had better call quality and network in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Now they say since the watch stayed on the account without being deactivated, they have charged for the watch alone which was not accessible without a mobile phone. They themselves has told me that I couldn't possibly have used a watch to place a call or a text. But they will not relieve me of the debt instead the Customer service tried to convince me that if I pay $99 debt I can get rid of AT&T headache.

Had been a customer of AT&T for 14 years with no issues on reception on our phones. In July I purchased a new phone at the AT&T store. There were issues with dropped calls or people unable to hear me clearly or me hearing them. Back to the store with the phone, told to contact tech support. Spoke to tech support several times over a 7 month period, different solutions each time, I was told the tower was a mile and half away with trees, a golf course the lake in the way. I was told to switch to wi-fi calling, switch it from 4G to LT, update, etc. etc. I was told to send the phone in for warranty exchange - brand new phone and was given a reconditioned phone.
Still the issues remained. Was having the same issues with my work phone also on AT&T and our 2nd personal phone was having the same issues. My company contacted AT&T regarding a cell booster, they said they weren't reliable so they switched my phone to a different provider. After having people over at Christmas, we were talking about the problems we were having with our phones and a couple of people had a different provider and their signal strength was strong. So after a bit of investigating, it appears the "tower" is no longer owned by AT&T, did anyone at AT&T tell us that was the issue - no.
We decided to change carriers to the company that had the strongest signal (full signal), then came the nightmare of unlocking the phones. One phone no issue, 2nd phone the new phone purchased outright from AT&T in July and was exchanged for the warranty phone - well trying to do it through AT&T unlock the error code came up the phone and the account were not linked. Back to customer service, went through all the steps with customer service, told the phone would be unlocked in 2 days - it wasn't. Call back to Customer service again, unlock had been denied, again went through the entire step process again, assured it would be unlocked by end of the day. It wasn't.
Again back to customer service this time I was told by a supervisor if I had wanted an unlocked phone I should have gone to the Apple store, the phone is a Samsung. She informed me that it would take an additional 2 days. This after the previous call to customer service where I was told they would expedite. All the while they are charging me for a service that they cannot provide, having me chase around for solutions and then ending conversations with "We appreciate your business". No you appreciate the fact that I am paying for something I am not receiving. Just a horrible way to end a business relationship we have had for over 14 years. I intend to do the process of dispute and to let people know in this area that are having similar issues that it's not them it's AT&T.

In early 2017, I received a card in the mail from AT&T, stating that if I combined all of my accounts with AT&T (internet, cell, DirecTV, and phone), the cost would be around $100/per month. Because this seemed too good to be true, I called to verify the bundling of cell, internet, DirecTV and phone with the AT&T service person. She verified the deal, so I dropped Comcast, and Verizon, in favor of the cheaper bundle. Unfortunately the bundle was too good to be true. What they meant was we would pay full price for our mobile phones, and the DirecTV, internet, and phone bill would be $100.
In March 2017, after over 10 hours in two days on the phone/in chat with your customer support, I learned my account was connected to two email accounts. After hours on the phone, a lady in India said everything was combined under one account, unfortunately it was not the account I asked her to combine everything under, but I gave up on that one.
At the same time we were experiencing painfully slow internet service. We could not stream and it took hours to download a files. I called AT&T at least 6 times to resolve our internet issue, mostly talking to people in India who had no authority to resolve such problems (many of which called themselves managers). It took someone in the US to finally fix the problem, and only one service guy was able to address our downstream issue. In the following months, our service went down for over 24 hours twice. Despite lousy service, I paid my bill on time every month. Unfortunately, this was only one of our two AT&T bills. The paper bill, came to our house; the paperless bill was being sent to an email account I did not own. The second bill was ~$200 a month, and unbeknownst to me was accumulating.
Before we left for Europe in August of 2017, my husband went to the AT&T store to request international access. The customer representative never mentioned we were delinquent on our bill. He said everything was fine, and we would have international access for the month of August. The day we got on the plane our cell service was suspended. I spent at least 10 hours of our vacation chatting with different people in India, who were absolutely no help, and often rude, sometimes disconnecting me. They told me I was delinquent on my account, but when I logged into the account I had a credit. I would find out later that AT&T did not combine the accounts under a single email. I told whoever was on the other side of my AT&T chat that I was done, and would get another cellular carrier when I returned to the US.
When we got back from Europe, I found a letter from AT&T saying our bill was delinquent. The letter included my first ever paper bill for my mobile devices. I owed $725.31, and if I had wanted to terminate AT&T service (which was my intention), it would cost me $325 per device. There was also a $35 fee to reinstate our cell service. It was comical that the paper bill was delivered shortly after we made our intentions known that we planned to change carriers.
Once we got back in the States, and I had access to my home phone, I called AT&T. My representative was Gloria, and she said I owed money. She does not know where my other bill was being sent. I asked to speak with a manager. First she said that there were no managers available (they usually say that), and then she said her manager, Manny, won’t get in for an hour and a half. I told her I’d wait. She finally said she has a supervisor on the line, but really she puts me on hold. After 2 hours, someone picked up the line, and promptly hung up.
After at least 12 hours of chat and phone calls, Gloria said that we have two accounts, and that we have a credit on one and are delinquent on the other. Turns out the deal was too good to be true. The real cost for our service is $296.06/month, which is much more expensive than I ever paid for Comcast and Verizon combined. I would have never switched if I had any idea that we would periodically lose internet for 24 hours, we wouldn’t be able to stream, AT&T internet would take up to 1 hour to download a file, and all of our cells would be disconnected for non-payment of a bill we never received.
I have only received one monthly bill from AT&T, so I had no idea I was accumulating a debt. If I’d gotten a separate cell bill and saw that service for 4 phones was over $200 per month, in addition to my other service, I would have cut that off immediately. But AT&T hid this from me. After over an hour of waiting for a manager, Kendra, came on the line. Kendra said one bill was paper, and one was paperless. Not sure how that happened, because I signed up for the bundled package with one sales representative on one day and requested a PAPER bill. After 90 minutes on the phone, Kendra said she had finally combined our bills. So she left me in AT&T jail, because to drop AT&T would cost $325 per cell phone. All Kendra would do is reduce my bill by $50.
Once I knew I had a bill I tried to pay it by accessing att.com/payment, as it said to do in my delinquency letter, but it just kept taking me back to att.com. I had to pay by internet, because Kendra said she’d charge me additional money to take my payment over the phone. I couldn't use the number provided, because my cell service had been disconnected. And I couldn't log in to my account to pay, because, my account did not have the cellular bill associated with it. I wish I had never received that card professing to have a deal that was too good to be true. I requested Gloria open a case number.
Update. In November 2018, I purchased a new iPhone for my husband, and in the agreement checked the box stating we had a trade-in. When the phone arrived, I did not receive the return material, so I called AT&T support to get the return label for the trade-in phone. AT&T support said no problem, and sent the return information. I immediately packaged up the phone, and took it to the post office. Unfortunately, as I am used to dealing with the efficiency of Amazon, I did not keep the receipt. And yes, AT&T lost my phone, despite the letter I sent with it stating if I could not get credit I wanted the phone back. I was told (unlike most other large companies) AT&T doesn't keep postal records. I tried several times to resolve this issue, and after many hours on hold and with AT&T support finally gave up. Fortunately, our contact had ended, and we are now moving to T-Mobile without a penalty.
Update Number 2. Five days prior to switching to T-Mobile, I paid off my husband’s phone in full, but the AT&T website said I still owed on the phone, so I couldn't get the phone unlocked. I called AT&T support (every call is 1 hour minimum so get comfortable). They saw that the phone was paid off and were "sorry" for my situation, but can’t help. My daughter’s phone was purchased through Apple, but AT&T locked that one too, and I can’t get it unlocked, because their cords for the phone were not correct.
AT&T support people are of NO HELP. Now we have to wait 48 hours for AT&T to unlock the phones. After waiting on hold for 15 minutes, I get "manager" Saul who was unsympathetic, and still insisted it would take 48 hours to get our phones unlocked. I asked Saul to compensate us for the inconvenience… He would not. I asked to speak to a real manager. AT&T does not make real managers talk to customers. We are only half way out of AT&T hell (2 of 4 phones made it to T-Mobile). I have a feeling 48 hours will pass, and I'll have to call AT&T again. I hate AT&T.

I don't understand why AT&T does not honor their promotional deals through their third parties. How do I get them to understand that I bought my phones on a buy one get one free at Best Buy? It has been 5 months and I still have not gotten my discount. I have been paying $300 a month on these bills that they send to me but no promotional deal has been honored. Customer service just brushes you off, and the supervisors don't really review your account or look into what you're actually calling about. Why do you have to call so many times to try to get an issue resolved? Why has it been 5 months and I still don't have my promotional deal honored and I've called every month twice a month just to check on these cases that people have been filing for me to resolve the issue?
I signed up for service with them September 2018 and they have been billing me for both phones. I have contact them in a customer service numerous the time and they just say sorry. It's like they're not even looking at the account and that I'm not going to get the promotion promotional. But then customer service says that, "No you're right. You're supposed to be getting the deal," but we keep putting in these claims but then they keep getting denied because they've been filed wrong. I just cannot understand how you sign up with the service. You have a contract and a receipt willing to show them and they still deny you the promotional deal that you signed up for.
I think it's brewed. It's psychologically bothering, it's disrespectful, it's illegal and very inconsiderate for the customer sign up for new service and then get treated in a way that no one is listening and, "Sorry this is our policy and no you are not getting your promotional deal that you signed up for when you walked into our third party store." I just wish that these kinds of companies do not have to leverage that they have because that is not fair if you are at work in American that you have to enter a contract that the other side can you get over on you one. Had I had known what I know today about this company I would have never ever signed a contract or got a phone from them ever!!! Now I'm stuck at a contract and not being honored my personal deal on the buy one get one free Samsung Note 9 promotional deal that they had going on September of 2018.

After over 35 minutes on the phone today -- Jan 8 -- with a so-called customer service "expert" who couldn't answer simple Qs (no access to that information -- please hold for a few minutes); who didn't comprehend that I had NO SERVICE anymore with AT&T and NO ONLINE BILLING without confirmation of a phone number that I cancelled service to a month ago; who could not even successfully transfer me to someone who could tell me the address to mail my payment to -- instead transferring me to THE WRONG extension for another 5+ minutes of no help, I vowed never to ever no matter what have any AT&T service of any type in the future.
Though I had no paper bill, the following email arrived today without an address to mail my check to as I have done for years -- though it is an address that appears on no past saved bills: Past Due Amount: $67.49. Total Amount Due: $73.24. Account Number: **. Date: 01/08/2019. "Hello, This is a friendly reminder that your wireless bill is now due. If you've already paid or made a payment arrangement, then you're all set. To check your balance or to make or schedule a payment today: Use the myAT&T app. Go online at att.com/pay. Dial *PAY (*729) on your AT&T wireless phone. Thank you."
NOTE that the email offers me ways to pay to which I have no access. As far as providing the incompetents my credit card number verbally by phone, the answer in NO. I always mail a check but needed an address to know where to mail the check, late fee and all. Still after 35+ minutes no one at the number listed on previous paper bills could tell me.
I thought that the 16 days of service I had last month would be prorated and I'd receive a final bill stating FINAL BILL. I cancelled on the phone and got the employee number on December 12. SOMEONE AT AT&T NEEDS TO ADD TO THE "FRIENDLY REMINDER" emails that are sent to those of us who have for years paid by check in the mail WHAT ADDRESS TO SEND IT TO. I pay ALL my other bills online -- 3 electric, a storage, another cellphone, internet service, rent, taxes to state govt. -- but AT&T made this so difficult to do because my old iPhone was somehow not able to interface normally with their "system" for doing this that I gave up.
Their message? "Just send us your money plus a late fee, even though we can see you haven't even turned on the phone for the ENTIRE FINAL BILLING PERIOD, you cancelled service halfway into that, and you hadn't even once turned on the phone well before the final billing period -- BUT we're very sorry we don't know what address that would go to -- even after you have given us repeatedly in a 35+ minute call your phone number and account number."

On December 31,2018 my fiance and I went to AT&T in Ardmore Oklahoma on the corner of Commerce Street and 12TH to activate our new service. We already had phones that were unlock already and brought our own devices. We gave the Sales Rep our previous provider account information to port our existing active phone numbers. We decided to have different accounts due to it being a lot more simpler to deal with and they had a promotion going on for a single line for $60 plan get $20 off. Makes the plan $45 a month on auto pay. Our phones were activated and our numbers ported over right away. We left the store that day with no problem.
Today January 8, 2019 I looked this morning at my Bank Statement online and noticed I have a pending charge of $33.46 from POS PRE-AUTH VESTA AT&T PREPAID 866 608 3. I went into the store where I set up my services and was advised that I would have to call Customer Care. There was nothing they could have done for me in the store since they don't have the tools for this situation. So I called Customer Care "6-1-1" at 800-901-9878. I spoke to a man who was very helpful and asked me to provide the last four numbers of my card number. He researched it and came up with nothing except for the amount I was charged for. He said he has seen this done before unfortunately where people use other people's card information. Well unfortunately for me I was one of those people and the charge was not a mistake or in error.
I imminently contacted my bank and canceled my card so no other transactions would go through. The Rep from Customer Care gave me a number and walked me through the steps who to speak to and what department I needed to dispute this "800-901-9878". Well I called the "Vesta" Department who handles all the transactions. They said they cannot dispute it due to not enough information and evidence that I have provided. I was very frustrated at this moment. I can't even trust a store or phone provider with my card information. So I contacted my bank and told them the situation and since it is pending I cannot dispute through my bank until it post to my account. So my advice is to use a prepaid loadable card. Not your Bank's card.

I already have AT&T Wireless and the service is OK at best, certainly not great. So this Thanksgiving we decided to upgrade one line and add another one to our service. We got the iPhone XR deal buy one get one free. The agent said it would be 35 extra month to add a line and 30 for the phone. The first couple of billing cycles would be charged 30 for both phones and after it would be credited back for the one phone. So first bill arrives and is 435 dollars.
Called customer service and the agent agreed it was all wrong. They created a new line and there were no charges for phones. They created a case number and assured me it was obviously wrong and that it would be changed. Of course it wasn't and I was auto charged the wrong amount and the case was denied. So I open a new case and they say that I am past due and owe them money when they owe ME money, then they try to sell me cable tv service. What is wrong with these people?
I think the repeated cases of the same issues shows a pattern of deliberate fraud. They overcharge people and if they don't fight to get what was agreed to, they win. The original phone call to change the service is recorded, they know what the agreement is but are lying and overcharging me even though it has been brought to their attention. From what I see and hear this is standard OP. I'm stuck for now but won't be forever. I will leave as soon as possible.

Worst company! We had no problems on my dad's business plan but as soon as we got our own plan it was ridiculous. We told them before phone payments we could only afford 120 a month at most. We'd like unlimited data if possible. He said he could do that and said it would be 100 a month. Yeah. Nope. They want 200 a month after "access fees". I said I told them we can only afford 120 a month at most. Why wasn't I told about these fees?! They responded with "it confuses people so we don't tell them". Excuse me?!
So we decided to go to a new company. We don't need new phones so we called and they said the $200 remaining for our phones (together, not each phone meaning we've had service for awhile obviously since they're almost paid off) had to be paid to get the unlock codes and we'd get them same day. Okay. So we paid it. Now they're refusing to give us unlock codes for 90 days even though we own the phones out right now. And because we paid that much on our phones, we can't pay the next phone bill! I am very eager to cancel our account with ATT and am probably going to even just buy new phones so that I can be done with them asap cause this is ridiculous!

The phone is a 16 month old Samsung Galaxy S-7 Edge GSM, the same standard & platform used by ATT. The interchangeability of this phone between the two carriers is well known and generally unquestioned and the reason that specific phone & model was selected for purchase in the first place.
Misrepresentation after misrepresentation by numerous sales flunkies, bad implementation, poor execution, a lack of personnel training, shameless lying and purposeful deceit, a general lack of anything close to customer care, and an unwillingness or inability to fix self created problems has me closing & moving my account after one week. I am surprised that the entire relationship came apart so quickly but the new ATT is really that bad. Save yourself the time, cost and grief by selecting another company to provide you cell phone service. They are all bad but ATT is establishing the new low standard watermark in the industry.

On January 2, 2019 at approx 8:20 PM EST, I chatted with a rep named Steve on the online chat. I told him I had a Samsung J7 phone and that I was currently with Virgin and I was wondering if I could bring my phone over to AT&T. I gave him the IMEI # and Steve told me yes, the phone was an unlocked phone and I was able to do so. Steve told me all I had to do was go into the AT&T store in Malden (corner of Main St & Centre St) and swap the SIM cards. He said he made an appointment for me between 6-630 PM. I arrived at the store on January 3, 2019 at 6:30 PM and waited about 10 minutes until a rep was available. Corey was his name. I told him I had an appointment and he said, "No you don't, it was never scheduled." Told him I spoke to Steve and gave him the rundown as I stated in previous paragraph. And that I was looking to swap out the SIM cards as stated per Steve.
Corey took the key and took out my old SIM card from Virgin and put in the AT&T SIM card. He was telling me about other plans but I knew I wanted the prepaid/no contract for 50.00/53.13 with taxes. He asked me for my license, which I gave as he took pictures of both sides and then he asked for my debit card which he stuck in his iPad (no receipt given). All fine and well so I thought. Then he hits me the phone is not unlocked. That I needed to purchase a phone through them. I said, "Well that is not what I want to do and that is not what your representative online told me." He told me I could bring the phone over. Corey in a snide voice said and he also said, “You had an appointment with us.” I said, “Your customer service rep told me I could do this.” Corey said I could not use the phone or the text and that the only thing that would work would be the internet. I told him I was going back to Virgin mobile and I was mad.
I walked out and then realized I paid for something I didn't have so I walked back in and told him I wanted a refund. Corey told me, that I needed to set up my account and to call customer service and they would give me a credit. That they don't give credits in the store. I felt I was scammed. I was very upset. I couldn't believe the service I was getting. I went home and called the customer service who didn't listen to me and had me on mute for an hour. Her name was Andrea. I then was able to talk to a manager but come to find out it was the same person claiming to be a manager. Finally she got me the floor manager. The floor manager told me I needed to speak to the manager of the store and he would give me a refund. Very annoyed at this point. Just getting the runaround. I reactivated my service with Virgin Mobile.
January 4, 2019 my husband and I go into the store and speak to the manager and he claims I told the rep Corey that my phone was unlocked (how would I know if it was or wasn't?) and that it was non-refundable. I paid with my debit card 53.13 which could not be refunded at the store. I want my money back because I never had the service or an account but I was charged for it because it was a prepaid plan that I was going for. So did they steal the money? Maybe you should look into your workers because that does not seem like the right thing to do. I have been in customer service for 30 years and I NEVER heard of such a thing! I want my money back or like I told him a phone case on AT&T. They are thieves in my book. I couldn't stop payment with my bank because I paid with a debit card so it automatically came out of my account.

Utterly disappointed, after being an AT&T customer for over 10+ years, I have been misled and lied to. I have never considered switching providers until now. This issue started in September, I went to a local AT&T store to get an upgrade. During this process the sales associate informed me of a BOGO deal they were having for the Galaxy Note 9. I wasn't in need of a 3rd phone but it was a great deal, and Christmas was right around the corner. I was told all that needed to be done was add a line to my account and the second TV phone would be free. I was informed that it would take a couple bill cycles for the discount to reflect on my bill but the charges would be credited to my account and I had nothing to worry about.
Fast forward 3 months still getting charged for the second phone. When I called the 1st time, I was informed that it was a simple mistake that could be fixed and I needed to follow up with a call the next week. The following week I called back and was told (very rudely) that it was my mistake and that nothing could be done since I don't have At&t internet or cable services (At&t internet isn't available where I live). This representative hung up on me. I called right back and talked to another representative in the customer loyalty department. I was told I needed to go back to the store and have the store manager send in a request for the error to be corrected. So I went to the store to find out the current store manager is new and wasn't the manager when I got the phone, that manager was no longer with the company.
Was told that the particular location had a lot of issues and the new management was working hard to correct it, the new management apologized and said he would do what he could to fix the error that had occurred within his store. Ultimately he was unable fix it since he was new to the store. Ending up with a bill over $300 each month is NOT something I would have ever agreed to. The fact that At&t customers service has made it out like this is my fault, when I was told by the salesperson something that is obviously not true just to make a sale is unacceptable. As a customer that has always spoken highly of great service, in store and over the phone. At&t I expected better from you.

Will not recommend anybody to bang their head on the wall by subscribing to ATT services and especially if God forbid you have to deal with their customer service representatives.

Obtaining ANY assistance from AT&T Customer Service is futile. Their voice response system has been cutting out and misinterpreting customer responses for months. If and when you do get transferred to a live person you will be on hold for quite a long time. Frequently, when you do get to speak with a Customer Service Rep you will be told that YOU have to call another number to get your problem solved. Really? This is a Communication company that cannot transfer a call in their own company?! The "chat" people rarely know how to assist a problem and you will get dropped from them frequently. Oh, and the online billing system. When I accessed the online billing system I received a message that my account was not active. When I selected to activate my account, I received the message that my account was already active. Incompetence at every level!

I explained how I called them BEFORE the auto pay came back and I MADE the payment and I set up new autopay. She said, "I understand what you are going through." I said, "There is no way in God's green earth that you can even begin to understand what I have just been through. I just took care of two people that died, 1 being my best friend and the other my husband of 29 years." She had the unmitigated gall to say VERY CALMLY, "DON'T WORRY.

AT&T is not only the worst cable/internet provider I’ve ever tried in my life (and I’ve tried a lot), but what’s worse is the appalling way that they treat their customers. If you want to be treated like trash, sign up with them. I have had to call them every couple months with issues with my bill, and the last time that I called, I spent over 5.5 hours on the phone - yes, you read that right. Single handedly the longest phone call I’ve ever made. It resulted in me breaking down afterwards, when I was hung up on, transferred multiple times to many different departments, and mistreated miserably. I told them that I am pregnant and that I can’t spend 5.5 hours on the phone every time I call to fix a simple issue. NO ONE should.
I called corporate to let them know about my experience, and have them re-adjust my bill to the price that the representative promised to lock in, and they said they cannot do anything at all to lower it & that there are “no promotions” at the time (something they always say to their customers which is untrue), and that all they can do is adjust it one time this month.
After a couple minutes I told him just go ahead and do the one time monthly adjustment and I’m going to see if we’re canceling or not, and they tell me that they “never said such a thing” and that I must have misunderstood!!! They are complete crooks. They just want your money and that’s it! Quality of service is HORRIBLE. My Internet doesn’t even get 1/10 the speed of what I’m paying for! And I have basic cable that they’re trying to charge an arm and a leg for. Thank God, I just discovered that Comcast is now available in my area. I will be canceling services ASAP! Beware of this crooked company!!!

Worst of the worst. My scheduled installation date was 12/31, I called in weeks before to update the new address for the moving service. Not to mention the lady took 45 minutes putting me on hold to update my address. The day of installation the tech STILL went to the wrong place, called me and tried to blame the problem on me. I called back to AT&T right away and they don’t see the new address being put in. On top of that, I was told they won’t be able to send another tech out until a week later. Absolutely unacceptable!!
I canceled my AT&T service and quickly sent an escalation to their customer service and I was contacted by their service office TWO days later. Guess what, yep. “I apologize, our manager won’t approve for the expedition to send the technician out, so the next available date is still 1/6. Would you still like to place the service order?” Um... NO THANKS!!! Called another provider and got the issue resolved the next day, better service, better price. Congratulations to AT&T for losing another long term (9 years) loyal customer.

Not just the worst phone company, but the worst business I have ever dealt with. We had 2 cell phone services, home internet, and added a home phone line for my wife's work. A few weeks go by, she continues to use it every day for work and I never receive a bill for the home phone line. I preemptively call AT&T to pay my bill to make sure I don't get charged a late fee. They tell me they have no record of the line. I state that it definitely exists because their tech came out and installed it, and my wife has been using it for weeks, and I just want to pay the bill. For some reason this is an issue and they have to call me back to resolve this.
Next morning, no home phone service. My wife cannot work. After 4 hours of being on the phone with them they finally tell me why they can't just turn it back on, because they sent a tech out that night and physically disconnected the line to our house! I was not delinquent, it was 100% their fault it was not recorded, and I wasn't refusing to pay for what we used, I actually called trying to give them our money. Why is this a problem? Now they took TEN days to send another tech out to reconnect. My wife missed 7 straight days off of work. She was almost fired, and as a result, was not permitted time off for our anniversary.
Eventually we work out getting home internet from another provider and having her work do VOIP and cancel the home line as well. They lost half of our business. Now we switch to another cell phone company, I paid my bill in full Dec 14th. Billing cycle ends Dec 24th. We cancelled on Dec 27th. Guess what, their "suggestion" is that if we didn't want to be charged for a full month of service when we only had it for 3 additional days, then we should have cancelled ahead of time! That's right, cancelled 3 days into a billing cycle and being charged 100%. Criminals. Charging for a service that wasn't rendered simply because they made you sign it when you started with them 3 years prior. A small sampling of the problems you can look forward to while "being the best part of AT&T!" That's funny, the best part of AT&T, doesn't work there!

We have Colorado phone numbers and have had those numbers for years. We recently moved to Ohio and got new a new plan through AT&T. We had selected a postpaid plan, but once our phones were paid off we wanted to switch to prepaid to save some money. When we tried to switch plans we were told it was impossible since our numbers were from another state and were “out of their market”. We had three choices: stay with the very overpriced plan we currently had, get brand new phone numbers, or, as they suggested- deal with the minor inconvenience of traveling to Colorado to change plans.
This is a HUGE company... The fact they are not equipped to deal with phone numbers from a variety of states is concerning. Their customer service department hung up on my husband twice and just kept acting like it was totally appropriate for them to tell us to travel 2000 miles to deal with this problem. Why on Earth would I travel 2000 miles to stay with such an awful company?! I’ve never felt less like a customer and more like a prisoner than I do now with AT&T.

Made an appointment with DirecTV to change service providers. When he arrived he had a women with him from AT&T Mobility Sales. By the time finished setting up our dish, she had convinced my husband that we could save hundreds by switching our 3 cell phones and home phone to AT&T. This switch cost me over $400 right up front.
One of our previous cell phones through Verizon was new and had a $184 buy out. The sales rep took the new smartphone and provided information for getting back $143 for switching. That was in June. We are still trying to get that money back. Next, only one of the TVs attached to DirecTV worked. The other four TVs did not. After several calls and service visits, they admitted that our home was not comparable, so we had to go back to Comcast/Xfinity. It took them six months to figure this out. Now AT&T has billed us a $180 early termination fee for DirecTV and $130 home phone tied to the internet.
This has been a total nightmare as we are elderly and on a fixed budget. Yesterday, I spent three hours on the phone with the DirecTV side who agreed to waive the $180 as well as refund the payments on the TVs that never worked. I spent an additional hour on the phone with the wireless phone side of the billing. They basically told me "not their problem" just pay the $130 penalty. WOW! Kevin was so unprofessional.

I purchased a phone from an authorized AT&T retailer. AT&T then totally went off the rails and switched me from my prepaid account to a post-pay account. They told me the only way to get back on the prepaid plan was to pay for the phone, so I did. They then switched me to the prepaid department who told me they weren't authorized to do that, that I had to go back to the store where I purchased the phone, which I did. They took back the phone, gave me a return receipt and promised the money for the phone would be back in my account in 24 hours. Ten days later and 20 hours on the phone a woman named Karla did a reversal and my funds were returned in 48 hours. AT&T lost the phone I returned and, as previously stated, for which I had a return receipt and decided they would bill me for their error.
To date I have spent 80 hours on the phone with customer service reps. and their supervisors who promise you everything is taken care of when in actuality they want you off the phone and they lie. It was now, 11/15/2018, receiving bills for $390 and threats to have my service disconnected, which I had already cancelled on 10/15/2018, and threats of collection. The only way I was able to get results was to take all the paperwork to an AT&T corporate store. The manager there was very pleasant and understood the problem right away, apparently I was not the only one to experience this problem, made a call and said it should be rectified in a week.
I waited 9 days, no word from AT&T, returned to the store, now the bill has been approved to remove the cost of the phone they lost but has to have a second approval and that will take another week. I waited another nine days, no word from AT&T, back to the store, it is now 12/14/2018 this all started on 10/17/2018 about 2 months prior, finally resolved, but I am now threatened with collections because I'm late for a bill which I never received for $21.90 for the 4 days I had the AT&T post-pay account and a late fee. The bill came from AT&T 9 days later.
Now that I want to change carriers, wouldn't you, they are holding my phone hostage refusing to release numbers needed to switch because I haven't had my phone in use for 6 months. It's my phone, what I do with it is none of their concern, but somewhere in the fine print, that only an attorney could find, is a clause that states you must keep the phone active for 6 months, I said the phone will be active just not with AT&T they refused.

At beginning of December, I started calling daily, spending an average of 90 minutes on the phone each day, repeating the problem uncountable times, requesting supervisors and managers, never ever to reach the same person twice, frequently trying to deal with customer service reps whose English was so heavily accented, I was unable to understand them.
Finally found someone to "open a case" and send it to some "backroom office", with the promise of a refund of $850 within 2 days. No refund. Continued calling almost every day in December, wasting hours, repeating the story, spending hours on hold, hearing that someone is "working on it", "my supervisor is busy", "please hold" and "thanks for being a loyal customer".

When I called them to rectify the situation, the rep I spoke with said there were no notes saying that AT&T was going to give me a $300 gift card; and there was also no such promo, so the actual bill is $300 instead of $104.
