    Have spent hours on an automated service that keeps going around and around. When you do get someone, they can only go to a certain point and then they switch to another tech. Then you start all over. Sometimes you are on the phone for hours. Have talked with people in four different countries and seven different States in USA. Corporate Headquarters in Dallas, Texas does not respond to letters. Head honcho reportedly makes $23,000,000 yearly. What recourse does a consumer have other than a lawsuit? But guess what, you have to go through arbitration first. Read the contract that is many, many pages long. I wonder if the lousy system is the cause of so many hacking problems that people are having?

    I have been given the runaround with AT&T for the past three days. I opted into Verizon to change carrier because I feel their customer service is so much better. I was offered a slightly better deal from AT&T and decided why not since I've been with them for 7 plus years. I am fed up and ready to cancel after being told my phone was in "limbo" after being told my phone would be delivered in 1-2 business days. I ordered an iPhone X 256 g that costs 1,150 dollars. Disgusted to the point I can't even stomach this service anymore.

    I was told I wasn't on a contract. My bill changes every month. Very dirty business to deal with. Constantly ripping people off lying about what monthly bill we choose. I hope one day someone will investigate this dirty company. I can't wait until I finish with these lying people. They are connected with DirecTv and a very, very dirty business to deal with. Please don't deal with this shady company.

    I told the agent at store what I needed and I bought the better plan for a hot spot box but he failed to tell me that the service was not good streaming. Then I get a bill for almost four hundred dollars with 10 dollars a month for box. I think AT&T are trying to price themselves out of the business. I agree with all the people complaints. I had the same problem trying to resolve the problem. Every one I talked to gave me a different answer.

    I was advised by 3 different reps that my activation fees would be waived and it never happened. I was also advised by two reps they would call me back and it never happened. They promised to call me back. They took my money but never followed through on transactions. Multiple days and several hours and they still never did as they promised. This company has the worst customer service I have ever witnessed, and according to them, I have been a “loyal customer”. If they treat “loyal customers” like this imagine how they freak everyone else. I can’t even begin to explain the frustration I have had with this company. I never even go on sites and give reviews.

    This is by far the worst company ever. They outsource out of the country. You can get one story from one rep and another story from another and still not get anything in the long run. I can’t believe this organization is still in business. I really feel a class action law suit should be brought against them for all the failed promises that have been made by their reps. It’s a ploy and a sick tactic. I want out!

    I wanted to change my prepaid plan to postpaid family plan, so I was been directed by customer service to visit corporate store. On visiting the corporate store, I was told they cannot do it since it is out of market number. The corporate store directed me to call customer care. I called up customer care again and they told me to visit corporate store as they cannot it over the phone. Till now I have not received a solution to my problem.

    What kind of service is this??? SERIOUSLY!!! What the hell do they about their customers... are we fools for taking their service or are we stupid to believe their unreliable service. Taking customers for a ride!!! The most pathetic and unprofessional way of working where one team puts the work on another just to hide their incompetency. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! I am surely going to change my network provider and recommend everyone I know to do the same. These people have no work ethics and value for existing customers. If they want to add new customers they do it immediately but existing customers are being treated very badly.

    Today AT&T has lost one customer because of their poor service and lack of professionalism.

    Was charged $31+ extra on my cell phone bill for an emergency 5 minutes international phone call. $10 was for one time charge for international day pass, and $3 a minute for 5 min. call, plus tax, so that's $31+ charge. $10 was removed, after rep. put me on hold and even manager did not know why was the $10 charge, and I am thankful, but they would not reduce $15 charge in a good faith because it's a lot for 5 min. call to pay. That's what you get for being ATT customer for many years, 20+ at least, and having an Internet, 3 cell phones and local phone with them. It maybe time to start looking elsewhere!

    I have had two occasions to contact customer service with AT&T. Both times I have gotten the most inept people I have ever encountered. I had one tell me I would have to do something that I knew good and well I didn't have to do. We have been without phone service the last two days, and it has been ridiculous talking to their customer service. Numerous people have said what needed to be done, but it has not worked. My husband finally told them to send a technician, and they said it would cost $150. I am totally fed up with them.

    We got a Samsung S7 Active about a year ago, paying a lot of money each month to AT&T, only to have it go completely out. The battery port is burnt & melted, and had I not been home this could’ve started a fire, seeing as there was smoke coming from the port. This is a known issue online & in the ATT Forums, i.e. overheating, burnt ports, constantly going black & shutting down on its own (which has also been a constant issue with our phone). This is a safety issue, among the phone not working in general. In the past few months we have had to do a hard reset a time or ten, and we still have two years of payments on a phone that is not working. This is the only means of communication for personal & work use, and this is not something taken lightly.

    I was informed that AT&T will not remedy the situation and stated I would have to pay full price again, as well as continue my monthly payments seeing as the phone is damaged at "fault of customer." Original phone charger was being used the whole time, and this is NOT an issue caused by myself or the user of the phone (on my ATT account). I am also addressing with Samsung, but AT&T should remedy this situation as they are the ones getting my hefty monthly payments, and they are the only provider to issue this phone.

    I switched to AT&T after Sprint increased my bill by 30%. AT&T promised me a plan for $55 per month. The first bill came and it was $122. It was a classic "bait and switch" tactic. The salesperson lied to get me to sign up. I did it on the phone so when I complained they said there was nothing they could do about it - that I had no proof. The plan they really signed me up for was $45 per month PLUS a $35 per month "customer fee" making it $80 per month PLUS all the other fees and taxes. My first bill included a "sign up fee" of another $30. I cancelled the whole thing after I got the first summary. Exactly 18 days.

    They still charged me for the whole month. When I got online to chat with somebody, they didn't speak very good English and kept saying different things in broken English and bad grammar. They contradicted themselves several times. Another example of AT&T training their employees to lie and tell the customer anything to get them to buy or accept their fraudulent activity. I am going to pay the bill because if I don't they start charging me late fees as I fight it. I have to accept that they just ripped me off. I would never recommend their services to anybody. Run.

    I have been lived and worked in Europe for two years and last month had bought an AT&T prepaid wireless plan for one month when I visited back to US. In one month, before I left the country, I called AT&T to cancel the plan. After I explicitly told the guy on the phone to cancel the plan, he charged my credit card for one more month. It took me another more than half of hour to deal with AT&T's billing supervisor to refund my credit card. AT&T is getting extremely greedy nowadays. In addition, AT&T charges $60 for international data roaming per 30 days. I will never use their service.

    AT&T will not provide us with a copy of a contract that they claim we signed. They claim that we owe more than $300 for a $10 a month data plan to a tablet because we canceled in month 21. Customer Care is refusing to send us proof of a contract and continually hang up on me for asking too many questions. They started billing us $100 a month for the remaining 3 months of our apparent service agreement. I am not even sure how that is possible as our monthly service fee for the tablet was $10 a month for the first 21 month. I have asked over and over for a copy of this supposed agreement but they refuse because they know that I never signed one.

    Was told I had 30 days to decide if I wanted to keep any of the services I purchased. Was told my old phones would work. Was told a specific price for bundled services. 3 days in, had to buy new phones because old ones did not work. 2 weeks in got a preview of first bill, no promotional pricing applied. Called multiple times and was told it would be fixed. 3 weeks in, still no resolve and attempted to cancel all services. Couldn't cancel because DirecTV is a 24 hour to leave the contract scenario, not 30 days (=$20 x 24 months). Phones just fell out of 14 day period also not aware of ($900+900+500). Plus initial bill is $553. So now I'm on the hook for over $3000.

    My problem started way over a week ago, I would try to make a voice phone call and either I would go on and off the other person could not hear but I could clearly hear them or vice versa. Or at times it would work if I moved around or went outside... After going through a wraparound automated system that was clearly made to make people not call back for assistance, very frustrating and then being transferred several times, so finally today I called several times of getting disconnected that I was at the point of just asking automatically to be transferred to the escalated technical support and get this sweet lady that read all the notes and asked a couple of questions which were, "Are you on wifi? Do you have at wifi? Do you have problems with text or data?"

    Also, I told her resetting the network settings does not work, she says ok click to settings, click on cellular, then click cellular data options, then click enable LTE, then she ask is there a check mark on voice & data; I said yes, then she said click off then try making a call & it FINALLY WORKED! She explained that the tower near me that is down is having problems with the HD (high definition; suppose to make a clearer voice and block our background noise) part of it. She said I could leave it off until the tower is back up and gave an eta. She was great and deserves a raise after all the high blood pressure I endured. Clearly the worst experience dealing with customer service I have ever had until that last tech, they need more of her. Good luck everyone. Hope this helps!

    After being a Verizon customer for a decade I decided to switch to AT&T, motivated by AT&Thieves promotion for a sizable credit. Once I agreed I was sent sim cards to transfer my carrier to AT&Thieves from Verizon. That prompted several phone calls to navigate AT&Thieves' vague instruction resulting in poor signal strength; I have to go outside to make a phone call.

    After this I get my bill which has doubled my cost and after several hours on the phone getting transferred from department to department I have not been able to get AT&Thieves to honor their promotion. Finally, I was told they (AT&Thieves) were very sorry for the inconvenience and they would speak to the AT&T rep and make sure he/she would be reprimanded but I would still be responsible for the bill. Word to the wise STAY AWAY FROM AT&Thieves THEY WILL LITERALLY STEAL YOUR MONEY... I have filed complaints with the FCC. I urge everyone to use the link and make your voice heard.

    I came to AT&T after having Metro PCS. I was more satisfied with the coverage range but I should have researched first. They are not helpful to any issues that you have. Mario and Carol were of no assistance. Mario was actually on the phone copying me as I was trying to get my issue handled. I know that people can be rude but this should never happen in a company. This was the worst experience ever and my issue was not handled. I paid for service that I did not get to use. Carol was a little better. Mario needs to have better manners and learn to treat people with respect. Take your money and run in the opposite direction.

    I’ve had all of the major carriers before, the last time I had AT&T was in the mid 2000s and I left with the impression that they had superior service over T-Mobile and Sprint, but apparently with the adaptation of LTE, they cannot keep up with the times. I left T-Mobile last year after being fed up with extremely poor service at my new apartment, and decided to switch to AT&T because (1) I would get a discount for bundling my phone/tv/internet, (2) I thought the service couldn’t be worse than T-Mobile. For the first 4 months, the service was a little better than T-Mobile, nothing great, but I would definitely get signal in places where T-Mobile/Sprint never did.

    The honeymoon didn’t last long, because it’s been a year since and I regularly have no service, at any time of day, within a 60 mile radius of where I work/shop/live, and if I do get service, it’s only 4G. Probably haven’t gotten an LTE signal for weeks now. At home and work, I rely on wifi otherwise my phone would be an ornate paperweight. To make calls not on wifi (especially anything to do with android users whether it be text or call) I have to drive three city blocks just to get a 1 bar LTE signal so I can catch 40% of a phone conversation or finally send a text message to an android user that has been sending for over 20 minutes.

    According to my battery app, 30% of my battery is spent looking for service, and 20% is spent on apps that can’t refresh because no service. If I lived in a backwater town in the middle of nowhere, I could easily understand my predicament. But a city with over 200k pop in California should at least give me full 4G, right? Apparently not on AT&T. I regret switching from T--Mobile (has anyone ever said that before?) because AT&T Wireless is the biggest waste of time, money, energy and economic resources. I’d have better luck sending smoke signals for communication than use this 1000 dollar phone that I pay 220 a month for.

    At first, I thought I was going crazy, and being dramatic, but I have two other people on my plan, and each phone is rendered useless 99.9% of the day, and I’ve heard similar complaints lately from my coworkers. I don’t expect any carrier to have perfect signal, but I don’t think I’m being unreasonable to want at least 5 daily minutes of LTE signal that I pay for. If you do plan on getting AT&T Wireless in California at least, make sure you have great internet at home or WiFi available at all times if you want to do anything besides use it as an extremely expensive way to tell time.

    I signed up with ATT phone service in Dec 2017, I wanted to a family plan with 2 lines, on one account. I was talking with a reps for about an hour or so, to make sure all the information was correct. When I got my first bill, they charged me to two separate accounts, that was my first month calling. Then in March I signed up with their U-verse, I had an scheduled appointment with them to come hook up my TV, in my new apartment, and it was the last day I had off from work. I was told someone would be at my apartment between 12-2 pm. Near 2 pm, I had to call to see if someone was on the way, a tech said they were on the way, and would be at my place in 10 mins, 20 mins later nothing, I called again, the tech said they couldn't find me.

    When he gave me the address of the place he was at, he was in MIAMI, freaking MIAMI. Remind you I live in ORLANDO, so I don't understand, to this day, how in the world they got a MIAMI address. When the tech told me the address he was at, it was nothing near my address, it wasn't even an apartment address. So I had to reschedule my hookup date to the following day, and had to have a friend stay and wait for them to come. After that every single month, I had to contact ATT because my bill is not what was promised to me, it's always more.

    Once I even called and asked for an extension, on my bill because I got paid 3 days after the due date, they said, "not a problem, I won't be charged a late fee, since I called." The following month, BOOM late fee. Then they on my wireless bill it went up $8 and when I asked about it, they told me they upped my GB from 6 to 12, without my permission, without notices. They said they sent out notices, but I never got one. Then I was supposed to have credit on my bill for one month, wasn't there. I contacted someone AGAIN, twice I was told next month, next month, YEA, we'll see.

    Oh, and on top of this, the services sucks, every time it rains outside my box goes out, then finally one week, my main HD box was completely done for, I lost all my recording, and I had to call three times in one week, to have my box troubleshooted, it's worked the first two times, but the third time nothing works and the lady on the phone even said, "I'm don't understand why the first two people, didn't put in an order for a new box." yea, I don't understand it either. Unfortunately I have to wait two more months before I can switch companies, and where I live, I only have the option of ATT or Spectrum, I've have Spectrum before and they weren't all that great, but definitely better than ATT. And I'm looking into switch phones as well.

    WORST company. I'm Rudy ** owner of Edible Arrangements. Every July I get a renovation letter to which I respond to as soon as possible so my lines won't be affected. We agree to pay a certain amount. Every month I was getting my bills higher than usual. I called and went to the store a couple of times. They told me yes it was a mistake and that in the new bill I was going to get a credit, next month got a new bill again with a higher amount than the past one. Called again and went to store again and they told me again it was a mistake and not to pay bill until next month while they fixed.

    I haven't received a bill yet and they cut my lines which is not just one line but 6 lines in my business. I just went to the store again and now they seem not to find the notes. I was willing to pay the amount they are charging me because my business had been badly affected. I had lost customers today. I got to store at 4.45 and by the time I got called up it was 5 already and they come and tell me I can't pay the bill because they close their system already.

    My son left the country for four months, and I asked AT&T what we could do to save money (and his number while he wasn't using the account.) They said, no problem, he could pay ten bucks instead of twenty on our family plan. But it was a lie. They didn't tell me that invalidated the installment plan he had on his phone, so in actuality their little savings cost us 5+ bucks a month extra. I called, certain they'd fix that as they have in the past for their mistakes, but I was told no way. That they were sorry that they made a mistake, but they wouldn't fix it. It's the last straw for us with other issues we've overlooked. All seven of us on the family plan are leaving now. If that's the way they run their business, they can do it without us.

    I have been a long time ATT wireless customer registered with autopay. My autopay is the 12th of each month. Some genius at ATT decided that autopay dates should happen at the end of the calendar month and unilaterally changed the date. Apparently an email was sent to that effect, which I could not find in my email. Even then, one email??? From ATT who regularly bombard both my email and regular mail with suggestions to increase my service (and hence their revenue?). In any case, I was not aware of the change.

    Around beginning of July, I look at my Credit Card statement and notice ATT did their autopay on June 29, instead of July 12. I online chat with ATT and the saga begins (I have scripts of all chats) July 10 – I question why my autopay was collected early. The agent (Riley **) apologizes and says there have been problems with the autopay system and he will reverse the charge and autopay should happen, as per usual, on July 12. He lied as (1) there was no glitch in the autopay system, it was an intentional change and (2) the autopay did not occur on July 12.

    July 26 – While I was travelling abroad, I receive texts and VM from ATT threatening to cancel my service for non-payment. A different agent (Stuart) apologizes for the previous agent and says he will mark the account as fine and the next autopay on Aug 12 would collect both July and August and all should be fine and I should not worry. He lied as (1) he did not inform me of the change of autopay date and (2) the account was still maintained as delinquent since the very next day, I got more threats of service cancellation.

    July 27 – responding to the threats, and still while abroad, I chat with a third agent (Lina). Lina is the first to inform me of the change in autopay policy and reverses some late payment penalties (which I did not even know were there since neither of the previous two agents mentioned them and assures me that I need not worry about service cancellation and autopay on Aug 12 should clear everything. She lied as on Aug 7, I received a suspension notice from ATT.

    Aug 7 – this time I demand to chat with a supervisor. After much delay and “looking at the file”, the supervisor informs me that to avoid service suspension, I need to pay the bill that should have been collected July 12. I tell her to go ahead and charge the card on file. She apparently can’t so I go through a rigmarole of reentering the exact same card that was already there for autopay before ATT started this merry dance... and apparently now, all is good. So three ATT agents lied to me while ATT continued to threaten me with service suspension while I was traveling abroad, costing me easily 2 hours of my time to straighten out the mess they created and their agent’s incompetence. 2 hours of my time is worth $700... Is ATT prepared to compensate me for this?

    I was unclear about associated fees for my “eligible upgrade.” I called AT&T Wireless after I upgraded in the Apple store to an iPhone X and was basically dismissed when I asked about any fees. I was told there’s nothing on my bill and the person allegedly called an Apple Store to learn what they might have been referring to. After about 20 minutes of back and forth and being told there was no fee by a clearly frustrated and rude customer service person, I hung up. SURPRISE. $30 upgrade fee on my next wireless bill. So I call again. Apparently there was a record of my previous call and this customer service person acknowledged that I was told there was no fee BUT that it is a legitimate fee and I’m responsible for it!

    My issue is that I was not misinformed previously, I was misled and rudely dismissed. I asked that I be credited the $30+ tax. After being on and off hold for about 20 minutes I was offered $10 which, to me, means that they are admitting to their poor customer service. I rejected it and asked for the $30+ tax. Then I was transferred to the laughable “Loyalty Department.” After 48 minutes on the phone I was told I’d get a $25 credit on my next bill. 2 hours on the phone. Misinformation (misleading information in my opinion). Dismissive treatment and still can’t get the full amount of the upgrade fee credited to me. I’m disgusted by AT&T's customer service. Lack of professionalism and inefficiency. After many years of being with them I’m exploring other options.

I called over to the store I purchased it and they said my plan was not important for which business plan I had selected. I am still waiting for my promotional cards over 4 months later. I have paid 4 consistent high bills and I would not recommend their services because they do not honor their initial signing agreement.

    The worse company to deal with. They will tell you they will credit your account, and they don't, meantime you have to pay the bill or they will charge you late fee. I will never deal with them again. I traveled abroad, I kept my phone on airplane mode, I did have local internet, so I used the WIFI, when I came back to US, AT&T charged me for all the data on my WIFI. I call this highway robbery. Have called them many times, someone in another country with an accent you can't understand tells me they will credit my account, and they never do. I am gathering my bill to take them to our Attorney General, the company should be fined and put in their place. I am glad I don't have any of their services any longer. Every month my bill was a different amount without using anything outside my services. I know they are too big to fight with, but I think people should know.

    They lie! They promised a 194 credit to our account because of another AT&T employee lied to get us to switch. Spoke to 4 separate people in the loyalty department and 4 different occasion all of whom said it would credited within a day. Of course we never received the credit and decided to record the conversation of the employee. Who put in her notes that it was subject to management review. That was never said. Now there is 400 bill you expect me to pay. Good hustle AT&T. I will buy out these phones at 1500 and pay for 1 month of service. You will never get our business again and will also cancel DirecTV.

    My wife and I had two phones, two bills. On my bill, I covered my cell phone, the internet, and U-verse. AT&T advertised the "Unlimited with 2 phones plan." I should have know better because they had a shark in a barrel in the TV ad. Anyway, we called and after about an hour on the phone, discussing the combination to one bill and lowering our costs, we made the switch. We were paying about $400 a month total for everything before the switch. The bill came in for a prorate on one month of $229 and then the next month bill was $522. I was on the phone for over 1 hour and was told the best they could do would be fill out a ticket and let me know in about 10 days. We went to the store and took a detailed printout of our bill. One hour later, we were told to call 611 and talk to retention. After another hour on the phone, we ended up going back to our old plans and losing around $130-150 for our troubles. This is no way to run a business.

    If you are a business, avoid setting up an account here. Because of a mistake by Spencer **, Justin **, and Todd the manager, it cost my business $50,000 in fees. Instead of owning up to their mistake (setting up my business account wrong to benefit them) they’ve done nothing to clean up the mess they made. Because of their mistake, opening up 60 new lines instead of adding it to my existing business account, it triggered the fraud department and without no warning, they shut every phone, employee and personal, off in the middle of a business day and refused to turn them back on. Our account was overpaid by $5,000 because we pay ahead and they refuse to give me our money back, kept our phone numbers we had for 20 years, and cost our business tens of thousands in loss.

    We were also promised by Spencer and Justin $200 per line, as a corporate deal, to switch all our lines from Sprint. That would have been a $12,000 credit. Do you think AT&T was going to follow through, nope. They shut our account down. I’m still paying $10,000 in early termination fees from Sprint and had to turn around and go back to them. Because of their negligence I am paying thousands of dollars for nothing. Avoid doing business with these people at all cost, (it’s cost our business $50,000) even if they transfer to another location. FYI: We’ve contacted the Missouri Attorney General, FCC, FTC, BBC, 5 on your side, and my attorney.

    I connected with another rude customer service rep again and she said something went wrong with our current carrier, gave her the info she needed AGAIN and she said, "Ok. It was approved." When I asked why it didn’t work before when the first person I talked to said it worked she avoided the question so she could get off the line. When I asked when the phones would be there she said 3-5 business days. Why would one person say 2 days and another 3-5. Get your crap together and figure your crap out.

    This company is straight garbage. We were told we'd have our services (cable and internet) transferred when we moved, because we were you know, moving from one house to another. Only cable showed. They didn't know we wanted both. Are you serious? We called and after us explaining we work during the week 8-4 they said they can only come between 12-4. After an extremely difficult search to find someone to be at our house between 12-4 on a Monday, AT&T never showed. AGAIN. We called at 3, spent a half hour on the phone, were told something was wrong with the order, and someone would be there before the end of the night. By 7:30pm no one had showed. We called AGAIN, spent an hour and 35 minutes on the phone with them, appalled at how TERRIBLE their "customer service" was and demanded someone be at our house ASAP.

    We had gone 2 weeks with no internet and therefore went over our data usage with Verizon. During this hour and 35 excruciatingly painful minutes, I was told many different things: the tech is on his way, they are locating the tech, this is actually self-service and no tech is needed, we're finding a new tech to come ASAP. After the extreme lack of service, actually a disservice, we'd received, I explained in order to make up for this, the three times someone was supposed to install internet, they'd HAVE to come when it was convenient for us. There was no one that could come on a weekday, between 12-4. I explained any time after 4 the next two days, or on Saturday first thing in the morning are what we would accept or we're leaving the company.

    I was basically told I need to quit my job so that I can be there for whenever their tech guy can show up, if anyone ever showed up at this point. How do we pay for the service then? Not sure. I don't understand how a company would ever think that is a smart thing to say. Lol. I spoke with a manager, named Ed, he assured me someone would come Saturday morning between 8-12. He promised he'd call me personally to see someone arrived. Well, SURPRISE, Saturday comes, no call from Ed, no one shows. I am irate. How can this be your business, how you make money, and you be this astonishingly awful at it? My husband was assured at 10:30 am, we were next on this list.

    At noon, when I called, I was told there was an error on the order. We had no appointment for Saturday, but for Monday between 12-4. I went off on these people. This is the absolute, BY FAR, WORST service I have ever experienced. These people have no idea what they're doing. They will use every excuse in the book to put off dealing with their customers. They CHARGED us for internet that they never came to install. This company doesn't care about their customers in the least, we're dollar signs, they'll secretly up your bill to make money off you, and then do everything to avoid you or help you. They're a scam.

    I called WOW on Monday, after telling AT&T they can suck it, and within TWELVE MINUTES, I had been told the appropriate package we would need, gone through all the fine print, and had an appointment set up for the next day! Imagine that. And the best part, their techs actually show up when they say they will! I would go with WOW or Cox Communications ALLL the way. These companies actually care and respond to their customers, and do everything they can to help you or right any mistake. AT&T wants your money that is all. Stay FAR AWAY.

    First off, I’ve been a loyal AT&T customer for 7 years. I have a wireless account and even had a home phone and U-Verse account. However, they are getting real expensive lately, and the services and pricing doesn’t even make sense. For example, internet by itself is around $75 a month for 100 Mbps, but if you add local channels it brings the bill down to around $65 a month. And that’s not even including all the taxes and fees they charge. That really doesn’t make any sense to me considering I never watch any of those local channels... So why even have it? Also, $75 for only 100 Mbps is ridiculous to me. I can go get faster speed at another company for much lower even after taxes and fees. Also, my wireless bill has gotten more expensive over the years. They increased the fees somehow turning my supposed $103 wireless bill into $114.

    A rep told me herself that my bill would definitely be $103 a month. I knew it was going to be a little high to begin with because of the $28 NEXT installment on my phone, but not that high. After I finished paying all my installments, they were able to finally lower my bill to $65 (only because I told the rep I was wanting to cancel my account). Which $65 plus fees and taxes isn’t really all that bad for an unlimited plan, however, it doesn’t come with mobile hotspot (and even if it did they cap you at 128 Kbps after using 15 GB of hotspot data which is basically nothing). Overall, I can find less expensive service that offers more elsewhere. I’m tired of having to pay inflated fees and dealing with unhelpful reps who I can barely understand sometimes. I’m switching to another carrier.

If you want to purchase a phone at this Best Buy, heed my warning and simply go to one of your desired carrier's stores instead. All I wanted was to be removed from my parents' AT&T account onto a new account, and was told by Shireen that this could not be done. Instead, according to her, a new number/line must be created and must be 'merged' with the old line.

    After several hours on the phone with AT&T across 3 days, being transferred through countless representatives and departments, and visiting 2 separate AT&T stores to attempt to 'merge' the lines, everyone I spoke with agreed that Shireen was in the wrong and the lines could not be merged, leaving me paying for 2 lines on my account. The only solution, as told by AT&T employees on the phone and in person, would be to return the phone to this Best Buy as buyer's remorse, rendering the entire transaction pointless. I have never dealt with such incompetent customer service in my life. Do NOT buy a phone from this location, ESPECIALLY not through AT&T.

Then in the beginning of Dec 2017 I started having issues with the internet, home phone and DirecTV. After 7 techs came out they couldn't figure out the problem supervisor advised me to cancel the home services because they couldn't fix the problem. So I canceled and went to Spectrum. After calling 3 times a month to dispute the cell phone charges and getting disconnected after speaking with numerous reps.

    I contacted the CEO's office and was told I owe the full amount balance on all phones because I didn't keep up with the contract terms. That I should have kept DirecTV, home phone and internet. I am not the one that broke the contract. They did because they couldn't provide me service. Now they want over 1100 dollars or are sending me to collections. I have an excellent credit score over 850 and now they are going to ruin it. Because I am not paying the bill.

    I switched from Verizon to AT&T in April of 2018. I was combining my girlfriend’s phone service with mine and was trying to save some money in the meanwhile. I went to an AT&T store and was given the sales pitch. My girlfriend’s Verizon bill (with two of her kids) was $210 with Verizon and mine (with one of my kids) was $235 (I leaded a phone recently). The guy at the AT&T store quoted me at $230 for all 5 of us and talked me into new phones which I was told would bring my monthly bill to (he breaks out the calculator) just under $300. He sold me.

    A few weeks later I get a bill for $520. I was floored. I called AT&T and was told that the “free” phones I got would be charged $28 a piece for two months and then I would be credited. The rest of the bill was just start-up costs and would be only this one time. Now, my son who lives with his mom in a separate town from me, reports no signal at all at his house. He doesn’t get calls and when he is talking, they drop calls consistently. Texts are delayed and internet is very slow! The rest of us also have service that was nowhere near as good as Verizon’s but that’s the price you pay for saving money, right?

    A month later my bill reads $460. The rebates we got for turning in our old phones are ridiculously hard to get and we never got full value. Fine print and all. Ok AT&T. You got me there. Next bill is again in the high $400’s and now I call again. The lady I spoke to (Vanessa) was great and she ended up bringing my monthly bills down to $330 (plus tax) and gave me an $85 credit for the last high bill. I even got an email reporting the fix and credit. Loved her and gave her a great review in the survey they sent me.

    Next month... $460 and no credit. I call again and speak to (Katie?). I explained the last phone conversation and she makes some fixes and says my bill will be $330 a month from now BUT she can’t give me the fruit because there was nothing in the notes about a credit being promised. When I read her the email, her supervisor gets on and requests I send the email to her. I did. A week later I sent a follow-up email asking if the bill was fixed and if I could expect to see the credit that was promised me. No reply at all.

    I just got my most recent bill a few days ago. $463 and still no credit!!! I have explained to them that I’m going back to Verizon and they said they understand... “that’ll be $3,543 please.” Our phone service is still crappy and I am receiving death threats under my pillow that I better get the phone situation fixed because the internet connectivity is horrible. I was pretty sure the kids were leaving the notes but I’ve caught my girlfriend staring at me while I sleep so I trust no one at this point. Not only has this switch cost me more money than was promised.... not only am I dropping emergency calls from work... not only are my kids not able to play Fortnight at every stinking minute of the day... but now AT&T is endangering my life!!!

I figured it would be worth to pay a little extra if it meant that I would have all around better services. I have one phone with an unlimited plan and I rent to own an iPhone 7 Plus. Fast forward 12 months later and my phone bill has increased by $20. They have added new “service fees” for the last 3-4 months making my phone bill steadily increase. Whatever.

    I know a lot of phone companies jump through hoops to make a few extra bucks when and where they can. I recently started a new job, one of the perks of working with this company is big name brand companies offer employee discounts. I went into an ATT store to apply said discount and they do not offer any discounts on unlimited plans. On top of that I get little to no service in the city my job is located in. I will actually be standing next to a Sprint user and they have full service while I have “No Service”. I have 19 months left until my phone installments are paid off.

Back in Dec 2017 I went to renew my DirecTV account for the next year and the person over the phone combined my wife's account with my account causing 5 months of lies and issues. Countless phone calls, transferred to multiple places and never resolving any issues. Lied to for four months stating the accounts were not merged, YES, finally in April found out by a customer service rep in the states that YES the accounts were merged. All of the previous weekly contacts with the other phone reps located in the Philippines would always tell us lies when we called and were transferred from person to person.

    We lost countless hours of our precious time with these individuals. Needless to say, it took another 10 calls or so to find out not only were the accounts merged, we were now placed on upfront billing and we are supposed to get used to it. This was mind blowing. Mind you, they had neither of our permission to change us over to a merged account that costs 45.00 dollars more a month to be merged. This place should be investigated and all business should cease. I'm looking into finding out if this company has any ongoing class action lawsuits. When we quit AT&T they billed me erroneously and sent me to collections. They sent a perfect paying individual to collections! This company has no common sense - I will never pay this company money I do not owe them.

I got a bill of almost 900 dollars. I tried to dispute it and they simply said no. So the money I was going to use for help the victims ended paying AT&T. I decided to cancel and a day later I received a phone call from a person who wanted me to stay with AT&T and can give me a good deal because I could've been paying less of what I paid for 20 years.

    I was even more disappointed. In spite of several phone calls and checks 3 months later I was still paying hidden fees. At the point they never cancelled a service for one of my tablet that anyway I never used. After five phone calls they blamed it on me that I didn't ask for that to be cancelled and they ended up sending me to a collection agency. I've never been treated so poorly.

Hidden fees on their plans and dishonest sales reps-- sales reps never tell you the full service charges you will get. For example, if you choose a $100 plan there will be an additional $20 charge added to connect your phone or device to the ATT network... so now you are paying $120 +. I chose the 10GB, $100.75/mo.per month for 2 devices -- my current bill is $154.65... I'm on the phone now for an explanation of the extra $54. They are thieves.

    To say that I have recently received the worst service from AT&T is an understatement. Our install service was canceled twice for our internet and not by me. It took two weeks to have someone out to install my internet. I work from home and that costed me money because I had to take time off work without pay. When I signed up for this so called “promotion” I was told the cost for three TVs (3 receivers) and one Genie two main wireless box with DirecTV including internet 50 mbps would be $122.46. I took down notes while speaking to the sales representative.

    This was also including a $100 visa gift card. Now I’m being told the cost is $143 and there is no evidence of the price I was supposedly suppose to get when I signed up. So now I guess AT&T is lying to their customers? What kind of business they running now? I’m beyond furious and disappointed. I thought AT&T used to be a great company. I just called and spoke with a representative that was laughing over the phone at me when I asked to speak with a manager. I want nothing to do with AT&T anymore. I will be looking to cancel my cell service thru you including internet and DirecTV.

    Just got off the phone with AT&T and I've never been more irritated. I switched over to Verizon about 3 months ago and I get a bill from AT&T for $85.00 in July. Let's not forget that I just paid them $130 some dollars in June. So you can see why I'm freaking. Apparently when I switched over to Verizon the second line I had with AT&T wasn't taken care of so it wasn't cancelled. Let's not mention I haven't used the second line since 2016. It has been suspended since 2016. I couldn't cancel the line because I was still paying for 2 cell phones.

    So to make this short AT&T will not waive $85 charge even though I've been paying on a line for over 2 years that has not been used. Not to mention I was a great customer. Always paid my bill, always on time, purchased many cell phones from them. They are awful. I will never use AT&T. And I will make sure I let people know my experience with AT&T and will definitely urge them not to use AT&T.

    My monthly bill has increased every month for hidden fees, they took it upon their self to change my account, so then I change it myself and for some reason my plan fee is still coming out to be what it use to be. They won't send me a paper copy of my bill unless I pay 5 per copy. When you ask them for breakdown they place you in hold and avoid directly answering your questions.

    I’ve been blown away at AT&T blatant lies and scamming with deceptive practices. You will be on the phone for hours on end and YOU THINK IT’S SOLVED, it’s NOT. I bundled my wireless, cable and internet to save money monthly. I was on the phone for 1 1/2 hours to get signed up and a supervisor recorded my call to confirm I’m agreeing to a $400 visa gift card, HBO for life, half off Galaxy 9 and all of this for $146 a month for switching all my services to AT&T. First bill is $250, I call and 1 hour later they say I’ll be credited. Next bill $216, I call, 1 hour later they say I’ll be credited. I ask about my visa gift card, I’m told to check my email, I do and follow the link but it’s only for $200. I call, 1 hour later they say I have to call a different number which is the rewards center. I do with an hour wait time and I’m told another $200 link will come in my email to claim. It never comes, I call and then told that they see I’m only suppose to get $200.

    The customer service reps are annoying to say the least. “Thank you for your patience, Can I put you on a brief hold”, they say this over and over and rarely accomplishing anything for you. After 6 hours of many calls and 2 supervisors suppose to call me which never happened. Basically, I told the last rep I will never call again, keep my $200 gift card and I will spread the word that I never got what was promised me and when my contract is up I’m out.

    Our family has been a loyal AT&T customer for over a decade, and new customers should heed my words. Avoid being lured in by deals made to scam you, because once you're a customer, you are as unimportant to them as the litter in a New York City subway station. Twice we have been lied to in the face and twice our bills were raised due to misinformation and lack of transparency from service representatives (using that term very loosely).

    The first occurred in Flushing where a representative told us that we earned a free tablet, with no apparent catches because we asked three times before accepting. It was fun for the first month to have something free, but long behold we would have to pay for the device in monthly installments for two years (only the first month being free)! No matter how much we complained, they would not take the device back. So two years later, we paid it off... And oh look! Another fee :D! Turns out the device required another line to be added to our bill to be used actually. It now sits in my kitchen drawer turned off.

    We had a new debacle yesterday with another store. We went to a store in Floral Park with optimism that what transpired in Queens, would not occur to us again. Spoiler alert: It did. My son was looking to upgrade from an iPhone 6 to an iPhone 8. A normal request you would think. We were then told of a BOGO offer with the iPhone 8. BOGO means Buy One, Get One free in case you didn't know. My other son has an iPhone 7 that we were currently financing, but we thought maybe he could use the upgrade as well. Our representative told us, "Yes do that, it would be a smart move." Easy to follow I hope. We again asked, "What's the catch?" Again we were told, there's no catch except to pay $10 for a month of DirecTV Now. Not bad, so we went with it. Again we trusted them, and yet again we would be failed.

    My sons are happy with their new phones the next day until one of the sons was wondering why his phone was asking him to be associated with two numbers instead of one. Remember when we asked for any catches? We were not told that another line would be added as a result of the transaction. Turns out, that was the catch! Looks like it was a deal tailored for new customers. So if you are a new customer looking for two lines instead of one, that's a great deal right?

    Not so much when you're a current customer with three lines for three people. Why do we need four lines for 3 people? That's what I would like to know. I mean, it makes sense that three people only need three individual phone numbers. It's simple math am I right? Three equals three. Four does not equal three. Four is an extra one unit greater than three. Why does my youngest son need an extra phone number? Maybe the teen is running a business from his room. I don't know, but AT&T would have to know something I don't in order for this to be a logical move. I mean what other motivation could they have?

    Oh that's right. Money. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have read this throughout, let me finish by telling you that AT&T does not care about you if you are a current customer. And if you are thinking about opening a line with AT&T as a new customer, then don't. Because all they care about is your money. They have been stealing money from me from day one, and their support staff will say it's my fault or that is was miscommunication. Don't trust those greedy people. They will say whatever they have to say to scam you and squeeze every cent that they can get from you. That's all I have to say. My family will be looking to switch elsewhere soon.

    Last month I was praising AT&T for having great customer service. I take it all back! I purchased a new phone about 2 months ago because my 5s was old and just not working properly anymore, I was trying to hold off on upgrading until they came out with a similar size iPhone (I hate big phones). My only option was to buy the SE which was fine. The day I bought my phone the salesman at AT&T, said that it was approximately $14 a month for the phone for 24 months. We also switched plans that day because we were on a 15 Gb a month plan and they had unlimited data plans for less than we were paying. So to our surprise the salesman said my bill would be approximately $140 a month with the monthly payment plan on the new phone. Wow! I thought I’m saving about $20 dollars a month. Eric asked "Is this including my employee discount?" The AT&T sales rep in Rio Grande, NJ said "yes." So the next months bill comes it’s $300!

    Now I was prepared for the bill to be a little more for the first month in the new plan, because of prorated charges, activation fee, etc. But double??? So I called and spoke to a nice service rep, she explained everything down to every little detail so that I understood where all the charges were coming from. She also explained that the salesman should have told me to wait 5 more days until my billing cycle was over so that I wouldn’t have the prorated charges. She also said that at the time I purchased my phone, the SE was having a sale for $5 a month. So she changed my monthly payment to $5 instead of the $14. She was super nice that I didn’t even mind paying the $300 because she took her time to breakdown everything.

    Fast forward to yesterday... I look at my bill and it’s $235. Why the hell is it still high??? So Eric calls, they tell him that there is no way we could have been sold an unlimited data plan for $140 for 3 lines. Eric gets a 24% discount for being an employee of the hospital. It does show on the bill every month 24% gets deducted from each line. On our bill it says they only deducted $10! If I do my math right it should be approximately $50. Anyways, they tell my husband they have to take away the hotspot but that we can still have the unlimited, on the second best unlimited plan for $165. The rep says she will fix the employee discount. I look at the bill after sometime to see if it’s fixed and it is not. I call, I spoke to Carlos, he proceeds to tell me this

    - the employee discount does not apply to unlimited plans. (Then why is it showing on my bill but for an incorrect amount.)
    - There is no way we could have been sold the unlimited plan for 3 lines for $140.
    - My phone payment of $5 a month cannot be applied because in order to get that promotional discount I would have to open a new line.

    - Lastly, to have the unlimited plan for 3 lines, the monthly cost is now $205, and $180 for the second best, even though the women Eric called on before we called back and got Carlos, already switched my plan for $165?! (They no longer have the plan I was originally sold.) How the hell am I hearing something different from the sales rep and 2 different customer service reps???

    AT&T you better get your crap together. Either they are not training their employees correctly on the products or they have a bunch of shady ** people working for them that tell customers what they want to hear. I would have never agreed to the unlimited plan for $205 if that was the actual price when we decided to make the switch. I was paying about $160, before we switched plans, that’s why we decide to go unlimited because we were told the bill would be $140. We recorded the whole conversation. So today we are calling them back, I want to see if a new rep will have something different to say, and yes from now on I will be recording every conversation when I go into AT&T and when I am speaking to them on the phone. I’m tired of being lied to and I hate my time and money being wasted.

    I was a subscriber for 5 years and was told that if I upgrade to a new phone my monthly service would not increase. The minute I purchased the new phone my bill went up $13 per month and when I returned the phone I still had to pay the $45 restocking fee even though I would not have upgraded had I known about the increase. I was very specific about the process before making the purchase. They lied to me.

    Then when I asked for a final bill they refused to credit me for the period of time after I cancelled the service. After calling various numbers and talking with different departments, all of whom said, "Don't worry. I will take care of this for you, you can count on me," it was never refunded and they even charged me a late fee when I was told that I could wait for a final bill and would not be charge a late fee. I am paying the bill and putting principle to the side so I am not referred to collection. Basically an awful experience. I will never use AT&T again and don't like their practices.

The sales rep on phone told me I should be happy as it is lowered but did not understand that it is not what I sign-up to pay. The second bill was 76$, called in again and lowered the bill to 53$. I was super frustrated so I cancelled my service and they within 40 days. Since AT&T charge in one month advance, I was suppose to get refund for rest of days I was on service for.

    Me and my family have been using AT&T from 2008-Late 2016. Switching over to Verizon Network and Xfinity Wi-Fi was honestly the best feeling I've ever had in my life. I felt like I was finally freed from a disgusting prison and I could move on to true life. First off, let me tell you about the network. The network is slow. My parents have been using the iPhone 3, iPhone 4, then Galaxy Note 2, then Galaxy Note 4.

    When the Galaxy Note 4 released, I was also given an iPhone 4s by my aunt, which satisfied me. At least, the phone itself. The service on all of these phones were crap. The signal was super off. I would most of the time see only 1 or 2 bars on top. I would rarely see 4. 5 would be extremely rare. Don't even get me started with the mobile data. It took like 10 minutes just to load a simple 3 minute video on YouTube, ON 144p, and sending messages didn't kick ** at all. That was also slow, and about half of them failed to send. Rating AT&T Network from 1-10, I'd say 3.

    Now let me tell you about the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi was better than the mobile data. The Wi-Fi was okay, but it wasn't perfect. I'd say from a rating of 1-10, I'd give the Wi-Fi a 6.5. Videos were still kind of low-quality and slow to process, but not as bad as the mobile data. Opening websites would take around 10 seconds to fully load. It was sort of a disappointing experience, but not until mid-2016 when this all changed. My dad recently installed a new camera system to the house, and that made the Wi-Fi the s-word. Videos were extremely slow and extremely poor quality. Websites would either take about 2 minutes to fully load, or just end up with like "Ah dang it. It took too long to load, we had to stop it."

    But the 1 thing that really pissed me off was that at the time, Clash Royale was a really popular game, and I was a player, playing with my friends. This dumb Wi-Fi wouldn't even let me play properly. The game would always freeze or quit itself. I tried helping it by playing close to the router, yet the Wi-Fi would still cut off sometimes. Oh, and your guys' commercials are fake, just letting you know that. This got me so mad I just wanted to take that router and throw it outside the window! After that experience, I'd move my 6.5 rating down to 2.

    Now, DirecTV. It wasn't great either. Storage to keep recordings was really low, the signal would crap-out sometimes, causing glitches on the TV and making the program silent. At least this wasn't normal, and it kind of happened rarely. But the biggest problem was our remote. Most of the time, we'd have to press that AT&T button on top to re-program it. And replacing the batteries didn't really help. It was the same problem over and over again. From a 1-10 scale, I'd give it a 6. But I wasn't really caring about TV anyway.

    Lastly, I'd like to talk about something that I'm going through right now (2018). That's unlocking an iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 I had was my cousin's old iPhone. She gave it to me because she upgraded to an iPhone 8 Plus back in 2017. Because as of now I have Verizon, I wanted to unlock the phone from AT&T. So I took it to their website, and I put the IMEI number in and it said that it wasn't an AT&T device. Are you freaking kidding me? She's been using that phone with AT&T for the last 3 years.

    I looked over the terms and conditions with unlocking your phone. Was it a stolen phone? Obviously not. Was it blacklisted? No. Was it a replacement? No. Did she pay the phone fully? Yes, she did. I called AT&T but they couldn't help me with it. :( I even brought this phone's IMEI to a 3rd-Party unlock service and they had trouble unlocking it too, so they gave us a refund. I tried solving this problem for a week now and tonight I just decided to give up and stick with the Galaxy J3 I have now after switching to Verizon.

    When I switched to Verizon in 2016, it was fantastic. I started seeing 4 or 5 bars a lot on my Samsung. That made me really confident to make calls and to use data. The 4G LTE was legit. It would load a video in about 10-15 seconds on high quality (usually around 720p). And going through websites was effortless. Each loading time went by like a flash. Sending messages was also no problem. It would send in about half a second to SMS users. For those who used Apple, I did have to turn on the data because I was using an Android, but it was still fast.

    When I switched to Xfinity, it was also similar to Verizon. Loading time for videos was even better than Verizon. In a snap, I could skip anywhere throughout the YouTube video. The quality was again, around 720p. Websites would load in a snap, and sending messages on Snapchat would load in a "snap". Although it wasn't 100% perfect. Sometimes, the Wi-Fi can blackout for about a minute before going back on again. But this encounter to me is very rare. To Verizon and Xfinity, I give both of you a 9.5/10.

    Now for my conclusion: AT&T is the s-word. I hated having it with all my heart. Those 8 years have been tough for me to handle, but I am so thankful I have moved out of that terrible service, and that terrible life. My advice to you; if you don't have AT&T, good for you. Do not make the mistake to switch. I do not recommend having this service. If you have this service right now, I highly recommend you switch as soon as possible. Trust me, you're gonna love switching out of this nightmare... Anyway, if you've actually read this review this far, thanks for reading! :D

I feel so drained talking to them every single time! AT&T U-verse never really fixed the issues and they only credit a few $ back to my account for this ongoing problem.

    Their excuse is that I didn't report the problem every time, I said that I was trying to, but nobody wanted to waste hours on hold. As your technicians already confirmed that there are issues from AT&T side every single time and the problem never been really fixed, why do we have to pay the monthly fees for nothing?

Your internet will go down due to a *system outage* and you will not receive any help from technicians/customer service and will sometimes be from 2 days to 2 weeks without internet.

    Ok let's see where do I start... We bought our Galaxy S7s in December of 2016. I was told we were getting a buy one get one free deal and that sounded great. The agent at the Owasso Ok store told me my first bill would be a little wonky (whatever that is suppose to mean) but then it would straighten out and it might look like I was paying for both phones but one was canceling the other out. Well after 18 payments AT&T changed their bill to reflect that I have been paying for both phones all along. So I called and after several harassing phone calls of people with such heavy accents you could not understand anything that is being said. I got one agent who spoke English.

    Cynthia ** told me she would take care of the issue and assured me that I was eligible for the BOGO deal. I called back a week later and the next un English speaking person told me my case was closed and I have been advised that I would not be getting the BOGO deal. Fast forward to today July 31 2018 I received an email stating my AT&T bill was ready for viewing. The bill has gone up $8.50. Our plan was for 10GB for 2 lines. Evidently they no longer have this plan and I am now on a 20GB plan that I did not ask to be on. I will be paying to early terminate my account with AT&T. My advice is to anyone looking to start a cell service with AT&T JUST DON'T. If I could have given 0 stars I would have. Thieves and liars.

    Updated on 08/25/2018: Well this is my second review of AT&T. Let me say they still stuck. I have paid off the contract on our phones in the amount of approximately 460.00. It has been almost 24 hours and they will not let me unlock one of our phones so we can move our service. They are telling me it will be the 28th before we can unlock. The funny thing is our monthly service will end on the 27th. Does this mean we will have to pay another month bill if we cancel service then?

    Not sure what the answer is but I have learned not to believe anything I am told by their customer service. Keith was very rude but that is to be expected it's AT&T. I wanted to be done with them this weekend but doesn't look like this is going to happen. I give AT&T -5 stars.

Sometimes it will spin for several minutes and then warn me that I'm about to be logged out for inactivity, even though the website hasn't even loaded yet.

    Worse customer service! In the last two months, I had to contact AT&T 3 different times. First time, contacted via chat because I was overseas. After trying for 8 HOURS to solve/understand why my bill was almost 50 dollars more, I gave up. The chat kept getting disconnected and the next representative would not have access to the previous chat, so I had to explain the issue over and over again, and never get to a concrete answer. I heard something different every time I tried to talk to them. I tried to complain about it and even that chat got disconnected.

    Second day I contacted AT&T, I called and the automatic service pushed me to resolve it via chat, but it didn’t work. Decided it had to be by phone. I waited 30 minutes in line to speak with an agent. I wanted to know why I was charged twice in June. The representative told me that it was because the company changed the date to post payment in the account, but that my next payment would be only in August.

    Well, I was charged again in July. So I called on the third day. Another 30 minutes wait to speak with a representative. I wanted to know why I was being charged in July again but also wanted to express how unhappy I was with the company on the 8-hour chat incident. This representative told me the charge in July was correct, which was the opposite of what I was told before. She was being sarcastic and the experience was awful. She actually hung up on me. My next step: Pay off my phone, and switch to another company, and never EVER AGAIN do business with AT&T.

    I switched to AT&T cell phone service over 2 years ago because I moved and AT&T is the only service that will work where I live. I do get excellent reception here and I opted for the prepaid plan. Well everything has been working fine until my phone decided to fry itself a few weeks ago. Went to my AT&T store and had to purchase a new phone. What was really disappointing is that I have been a paying customer for over 2 years and do you think I could get any of the special prices or discounts offered to all other customers except prepaid customers?? I have 3 phones on my account and it is set up on automatic draft through my checking account so in my case the bill has been paid every month on time since I started using them.

    I had to pay super full rip you off prices that are designed to make you want to switch your service to them so you can get the phones cheap or for some of them free. I was angry about this and had been told that Cricket Wireless would also work where I live. I went to their store and found a phone that I wanted that was $19.99 if I switched to them. Otherwise it was $99.00. I decided to make the switch and get my family all new phones but guess what??? When I told them that I was currently with AT&T I was informed that I could not have the discounted prices because they were leasing tower space from AT&T. WHAT??? So a different company can't even give me a deal because of AT&T.

    I ended up having to return to the AT&T store and purchase my phone at full price. Not only that but the one employee that was working told me that none of my information or pictures or anything could be retrieved from my old phone since it did would not come on. Is there really NO WAY to get my information??? I just wanted to let others know that AT&T does NOTHING for their current prepaid customers. Not even if you have paid every single bill on time for over 2 years. Thanks again AT&T!!! You sure do know how to treat ALL of your customers with respect and gratitude.

    My husband return the old cell phone 3 month ago through the ATT Store directly. Last 3 week they just charge from his account the amount is $683. We went to the store directly and told to call customer service after 2 hours wait. They just told us it was a mistake from them and to wait 1 more week for the money back. Last week we call again asking for the money back and now they say we need to wait 90 days and the money will be credit at the ATT account not his bank.

    I can't believe it. They can take your money out as a mistake and then they can't put it back at the bank account because ATT regulation and rules. Worse company ever. Please don't let this company take the payments from the bank directly. They play with your money and no feeling at all. Now our lawyer will take over.

    Because we weren't using it, my wife cancelled the "consumer protection" $9.95 add-on for our DirectTV account, and guess what? Within days our satellite receiver box magically "broke". After waiting for 50 minutes to speak to an AT&T customer service rep, she told us because we are no longer covered we needed to pay $49.95 for them to come and replace the box, and sign a new two-year commitment.

    As CBS News reported in May, AT&T has received thousands of calls from customers reporting they had been overcharged. When they called to complain, customers were fed a canned response: "You must have signed up for that service by mistake," "That promotion has expired," or worse: the credit they were promised somehow never showed up on their bill. I would happily join a class-action lawsuit, but when you sign their agreement you forego that possibility - and even the opportunity to file against them personally. Thanks to this convenient arrangement, AT&T's extortion continues with impunity. One thing for sure: they won't get another dime from me.

So recently I decided to add another line to my plan, so I went to the AT&T store and they gave me another SIM card, that simple. Today I get a text message that I’m losing my HBO for life because I changed my plan. The only reason why I moved my personal line to an unlimited was to get the free HBO and now, without any notice, they are removing it and saying that it’s because I requested to change. I want my plan back and my HBO back, this is your mistake. Not mine.

    I have had billing problems since adding lines to my account and getting into to a two + years contract. Some months they overcharged me and didn’t give me the half off deal as promised. My bill should be around $230 for 4 lines. For my August 2018 due date I was billed $60 something dollars, when my bill should be around $230. When I questioned this I got one answer that was ludicrous and when my friend called, she got another answer stating that I would get an additional bill for the upcoming due date. That has yet to happen!!! If I don’t budget for this terrible service, I won’t have phone service in the upcoming months.

    I have been with AT&T for over 2 years and my due date and automatic payment has always been on the 4th. My payday is once a month, and on the third. For the last 2 months they have been taking it on the 2nd, which has forced me to pay an additional amount because of having to cancel auto draft. This has got to stop or I want out off the contract and to be free to use my new phones with a more reliable provider.

    I have been a long time customer since before AT&T took over Cingular. I decided to switch to another provider and take all 5 of my lines to another provider. I never intended to stick AT&T with an unpaid bill. I started to pay off all of my phones that still had installments on left. I made a payment of $110.00 to pay off a Samsung J7 phone. The only phone that was left on the account was my Samsung Galaxy 8S that needed to be paid.

    However since I paid off the Samsung J7 I tried to unlock the phone and it was dinged FRAUD. So I called in and an agent Maurice I think told me it was dinged fraud because there was a balance still left on the that phone. I advised him no. I paid that off. He was able to locate my payment and was going to submit a claim to have the Fraud taken off. He advised me it would take 24/48 hrs for a response. That still has not happened. I have gone 3 weeks with no cell phone. This is how AT&T treats their customers. I need this fix NOW!

    I have had AT&T cell service for years. When I went in earlier this year to get a new phone, I ended up also getting their wireless internet service and DirecTV Now. Biggest mistake ever! The internet is SLOW and if you want stream for TV and also work on your computer using internet, forget it. The TV will cut out and your internet takes forever on the computer to open anything on the web. I decided to call customer service to see if they could fix it. It was a nightmare. No one could find my account (but I sure was paying that account), I got bounced around to about 6 different people, and the issue was never resolved. This occurred on multiple days, spending about an hour each day trying to get to someone who could help.

    I decided to go back to my old provider, so I called AT&T to buy out my contract and cancel service. Guess what? They can tell you what you owe them for the buy out, BUT you have call back on the last day of your service and cancel. I was told you cannot call them and cancel, have it go into effect immediately, and be done. No, you have to engage in their crazy customer service again on the last day of your contract and cancel. I even told the rep that I didn't care about a refund, I just wanted it cancelled. Nope. Gotta call back on the last day. Avoid AT&T at all costs. Service is terrible and customer service is even worse. As soon as I can I will be switching my phone to another service as well.

    I had called AT&T customer service to find out about the BOGO deal. I was told that I was talking in promotions department. They told me that to be eligible for this deal I need to add a new line to my account which I did not want to, so they offered me a solution and told that I can add a new line at the time of placing the order and after I receive my new phone I can cancel the new line. I was happy with this solution and so I placed the order. After I received my new phone I called up customer service and told them what I was told and asked them to cancel the new line. I was told that the person who gave me the initial information did was wrong and did not know what she was saying and it happens, sometimes customer care representatives don’t know about promotions. I requested if AT&T can do something since they gave me the wrong information. I talked with 5 different people and nothing happened.

    So I wrote on their community forum. AT&T sent a reply on the community forum asking about the details. I sent the details and they just told me this is a feedback so they can improve their customer service but no one contact me to tell me what to do. After few weeks when nothing happened I called them to cancel my new line and return the phone and they denied that too saying it wasn’t already past 14 days and AT&T won’t accept my phone (these phone were not used at all). Again they transferred me to different departments and finally a lady told that I can go to the store and they can accept it. I tried that but the store manager told me that they can’t but the customer service can do it since this mess started with AT&T giving wrong information.

    So I called back and after being transferred to 3 different people finally someone helped me to solve this and now I can refund my phone and I hope I won’t be charged for it. I spent at least 24 hours talking with 12 different people before I could talk to someone who was willing to help me. People were rude and some even talked in a way like they make decision for AT&T. I had asked if anyone in AT&T can help me and one lady told me that she is the management/manager and no one in AT&T will help me and it was my mistake.

    My business account with AT&T was for 6-7 lines over a period of many years...probably 15-20 years. I recently moved to a rural area where AT&T is the worst option, so we switched to Verizon just before Christmas. All my lines were ported over. AT&T continued to bill me for service and every month when the statement arrived, I would call them to ask them to remove the fees for that month and when the overcharges reached over $500, they credited an autopayment back to me. The charges continued to accumulate and they finally closed my account. Several times, they told me they were creating a case for a supervisor to review and that I’d receive a call back within a week. No one ever called me, and now I’m being told this is the “back office team” and that there is no way to call them to speak with them. Next thing I know, I receive a letter from a collection agency!

    I was told this week that they won’t create a case for me because the previous one was denied. I am not allowed to speak to a supervisor. This is the WORST customer service ever!!!! Now the collection agency is calling me twice a day. I told them that when AT&T can prove that a single call was made on the lines they say were not ported over, I’ll pay. AT&T already told me they cannot, because the account is closed. They lie, and their supervisors hide behind closed doors and call themselves the “back office team” that no one is allowed to talk to. I’m taking my story to a consumer advocate news reporter to see if they can sort this out and do a news story at the same time.

I called AT&T to get pricing on the phone and got 3 - 4 different prices, when I requested to speak to the supervisor I was routed to 5-6 different departments. Finally I got a supervisor on the phone, she was supposed to put me on hold but she transferred me to a different department; I couldn't get a hold of her at all (no one knew her name or employee number). My whole day was being transferred from one person to another and no one could track the previous person. It was a Nightmare!!!

    I left/closed AT&T the very next day and went to Verizon. I called multiple times to request a final bill/payment. Spoke to three representative which confirmed I will only wind up paying about $9 for my final bill (due to paying a month in advance in the beginning credit) but they couldn't take a payment until the final bill was generated. Two months passed, no final bill! I called AT&T and they kept insisting that I pay the full balance of about $80 plus late fee. They denied the month in advance payment credit and insisted to pay the full amount. So my month in advance payment credit of $72 Vanished!!! I have been very stressed over how AT&T handles business. I really hope they are shut down one day. The worst customer service, almost everyone there lies and the company covers up for them by not tracking/finding the person. I DO NOT recommend AT&T at all.

    Where to begin? First, they pretty much stole our old smartphones when we switched to AT&T. They said we'd get credit for them on our bill, took them out of our hands, and we never saw the credit. Found out later that we were supposed to apply for the credit by a deadline, but no one told us that. They said that's our problem, not theirs. Since then, our cell reception has always been at only 1 or 2 bars, no matter where we are. And the latest and most annoying problems occur with every forced update our phones must go through. With every update comes more problems with certain apps not working anymore, popups that say other apps have stopped working, etc.

    Specifically, the last update a few weeks ago has created these problems: Multiple times a day, I receive a popup that says Photos has stopped working, even when Photos isn't open on my phone. I can be in the middle of a text, an internet browsing session, a game, etc., and I'm constantly interrupted by barrages of popups saying Photos has stopped. I have the option to leave feedback on the popup window, so I often do. It's been 3 weeks since the last update, I've left multiple feedback messages, and it's still not resolved. Same with Device Maintenance. I need to use Device Maintenance to get to my Storage so that I can eject my micro SD card safely. But since the last update, I haven't been able to eject my SD card, because I can't even get to that screen. When I try, I get a popup that says Device Maintenance has stopped working and I can't go any further.

    I've left multiple feedback descriptions of this problem, but it's still a problem. I've restarted my phone many times (off and back on again) but nothing has changed. I'd physically walk into my local store to get help, but all the times I've tried before have been fruitless. No one can help me. The kids working there don't know how to fix anything, and that's if they even have time to see me. If I don't make an appointment, I am required to be put on a lengthy walk-in list, with priority given to those who've made appointments. Once, I waited two hours to be seen for a problem with my phone being unrecognized by devices when I'd try to plug it into them, such as my laptop, and they ultimately couldn't help me. They told me to go to an unrelated computer fix-it place in town, where I would be charged.

    When I've tried to call to make an appointment, the phone rings and rings, no matter how many times a day I try to call. There is no voicemail at my local store. When I try to make an appointment online, it sends me into a loop of links and I still can't make an appointment. I am not exaggerating a single one of my statements in this review. I have so much more to say, but I'll stop now. As soon as we can, we are getting away from AT&T. We would have stayed with US Cellular (which we'd used for 18+ years) but they closed our local store a few years ago and it became very hard to get our usual good customer service after that. So we switched. And we now have a serious case of buyer's remorse. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T if you can help it.

    I asked today about changing my number because of all the fake calls I am getting (23 per day, every single day) and I am told it is a $36 charge? Otherwise I can download their 'free' app, AT&T Call Protect. Well, I can't even find that app in the play store and see the reviews are 1* anyways because of the popup ads asking you to buy up to premium to get full access. I am soooo looking forward to next April so that I can cancel our 5 lines from this feckless company!

    There should be a negative rating. Internet was mind-numbingly slow, even after someone coming over and installing a new modem (which took a couple of tries in itself before he declared it to be working, yeah right). I got absolutely no response in spite of calling their "customer care 24x7" number multiple times. Each time they were getting multitudes of calls, putting me on hold for 20-30 minutes at a time. I can only assume there are tons of other furious customers out there. Also, no representative informed me about the whopping cancellation fee that would be charged. Apparently, you sign a year long contract with them, and if you wish to cancel it any time before that, beware because you will be charged a substantial sum. I got fed up of the service in two months, wherein I was charged a $150 fee. You basically get punished for not using their service for at least a year.

    I called up their customer service number on a weekday at 6:30 pm and a Christina told me that I could cancel the service by visiting a store, because the retention department was closed (yayy 24x7 services). So I went. And the store of course told me that they are not authorized to cancel accounts and I would have to call the customer care number again. Naturally, I was pissed. However, they called on my behalf there and cancelled it for me, thankfully. But then, I also had to take the equipment and deposit it at the UPS store. Because why would the AT&T store accept AT&T equipment. Ridiculous. It was just an extremely frustrating experience, and I still curse the lady who talked me into opting for AT&T. Never do it. They are looking for chances to eat up your money everywhere.

    Ongoing dispute for AT&T wireless MiFi services. I have and continue to be charged for services that were never used. Incorrect information was given to me on the internet services. AT&T provided me with the device that I did not need or want. The device was sent right back to them and was told for months this would be taken care of. Nine months later I am now receiving an invoice from a collection agency asking for money. I now in return decided I will not have a phone conversation with them. I will now put everything in writing. The recorded phone calls stated this would be taken care of and still have not. I have a cell phone and cable from AT&T and DirecTV which both bills are paid monthly with no issues.

    I would like to share my experience because I got wrong information about switching AT&T from other service. I went to store and store salesman seemed so nice and explaining a lot. He said if I changed the service now, AT&T will pay the early termination fee. So I was interested and changed it. He said I can trade in my phone if I wanted. I decided to trade in my phone that day. He instructed me how to upload my last bill and I can get the credits for my early termination fee up to $650. I did right away. I waited more than 6 weeks and status on tracking showed pending.

    So I emailed them to ask how long I needed to wait. I got responded email the next day and said Invalid. So I chatted online about it. Finally I realized that I got lied by store salesman. Actually they took my old phone free. My termination fee is $240. My trade in phone is $135. I just got $105 credits. Their rule is if I don’t trade in, I will never get my early termination fee. So clearly they want me to change and then after that they don’t care. If I knew like this, I would never change early before my contact. Now I gave them my phone free and got the bad service than my previous service. I trusted to the salesman and just listened his explanation. I would like to warn others that please check details before making decisions. Now I’m stuck because no one will help me with this problem.

    Trying to change from one phone to another - I do not like doing this, but not sure how to tell AT&T what is going on if you get people on the phone that you have a complaint about. I called the AT&T consumer services. The first person was very hard to understand and could not understand what I wanted, so I asked to speak to his supervisor who still did not understand me, and I certainly could not understand her. They were with residential services and told me I had to transfer to business, which we are not and told them that. I know I have told over 10 people at AT&T stores and online that we are not a business.

    Talked to business and told them we were not a business. This person was extremely hard to understand. He said he could not help me, so he sent me back to consumer. The consumer guy was the rudest ever. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he refused and said he would keep me on the line for 2 minutes then hang up on me. I asked his name and he was silent. I just hung up and went to the chat line. The person on the chat line could be understood, since we were typing. The person's name was Jacob, I believe. He understood what I wanted and ordered a sim card for me. I gave him the exact name of the phone for which I needed a sim card. I HOPE IT WORKS--waiting on it.

    The online order says the sim was for a different phone, so am getting very discouraged, but still have hope. The person on the chat line was very nice. Very sad that AT&T has sent all its customer calls to foreign countries where the individuals cannot speak ENGLISH! Customer service has really gone downhill.

    I have been with AT&T since 2010 and every time I wanted to leave their loyal department would throw me a bone and convince me to stay. When the bills arrived they ALWAYS went back on their word causing me a tremendous loss of precious time. There was rarely a month when I did not have to hack it out with them. Yesterday June 27, 2018 I've had it! In the past 5 years in the center of Hollywood we had only 1 bar and could barely receive calls never mind calling out. I have complained to them many times and finally they decided to exchange our family's phones with two free phones so we can at least make some calls. This happened in September 2017. I paid the bill monthly without really checking them until my wife left for Europe for 2 months and we disconnected her line.

    When the bill arrived I saw no changes in the bill. I started to study the bill and suddenly notice that we were charged all these years for texting which supposed to be free on a family plan. Then I saw that they were charging us for the free phones (with wifi enabled) so we can at least make some calls. I have emails from them confirming the fact. I offered to send them their own emails but they ignored me. In addition while the phones were free they added a sales tax in the amount of $44.40. In the past they also charged me for their technical support staff which later turned out not to be my problem whatsoever.

    The DSL cables a mile away were split incorrectly. When I objected to the charges they ignored me again and when I did not pay them they turned me over to the credit reporting agencies damaging my credit score.

So you may be wondering why, in the days of cell phones I would care so much about having my digital phone working? Well it is because I live in the fourth largest city in the United States about 1/2 mile from a major freeway where most cell phone firms keep their cell towers and I get 1 bar in or around my home. That is also unbelievable!

    We are not talking about a third world country here; we are talking about the USA. During my outage, which is still not fixed, AT&T in great form did manage to send me a bill; a full bill for the entire cycle. Unbelievable! The problem with AT&T is not their products. The problem is that AT&T has literally NO customer loyalty. Everything they do is focused on profits and the bottom line. This would include hiring enough technicians to get their customer back up and operational. This is really a bad model because customers of course will have no loyalty to AT&T. What is funny is that I own 10,000 shares of AT&T. Makes me wonder what they do for no shareholders?

    AT&T, think about sitting up in your chairs, paying attention to your customer needs. Stop selling products and start selling customer satisfaction! In the end, by following this model, you may not make as much per sale but you will certainly get much more market share for your different offerings.

    On June 20th around 10:30 PM I wanted to upgrade my and my fiance's devices. Before submitting my upgrade/order I changed my address because I no longer live at the old address that was on the account and I also didn't want it shipped there because my abuser lives there. So I changed my address, I got to the last page of my order and triple checked the shipping address which did have the correct/new address listed. I hit submit order. I get an order confirmation email from AT&T and when I opened it it said Shipping Address: old/abuser's address. I contacted an online agent through chat immediately, he said he was going to get me on to chat with his supervisor.

    The pictures below are pictures of the chat with said supervisor. She got me on the phone with a representative who stated she could not find the orders so she couldn't cancel them. It's now midnight so what else is there I can do? I go to sleep and plan on calling back in the morning. So they opened at 8 AM. I call them at 8 AM to get this resolved ASAP. The first representative says now that it's too late to cancel. When I went to check on my orders one said "ready to be processed" & the other said processing. Yet, now it's impossible to cancel. Here is where the three hours of absolute torture starts. I ask to speak to one of her supervisors. The supervisor tells me she also can't cancel the orders.

    One order was somehow managed to be set up to be picked up at a store and totally different state that I live in. Apparently this supervisor "wasn't supposed to contact stores but she guesses she will," at this point I'm fuming. I call my fiancé and we call back. Another 20 minute wait/hold. We're told we need to be sent to a different department, we're transferred. People start telling us oh, in fact now they can fix the order. Let's call another department and get this address changed. "Oh I tried now and it gave me an error, I'm sorry let me call another department." We're told that she'll stay on the line the entire time... She transfers the call, guess who isn't there? Guess who doesn't answer?

    The new department. So here we go again, another 20 minute wait...finally another representative. We explain our story AGAIN. I'm starting to get so upset at this point, thinking that I'm going to have to go stake out my abuser's house, wait for the mailman...hurry and get out of my car, get my phone and run back. In fear that the person living there, would see my car, walk out and verbally scream at me and even punch my car window. Every single time this person comes at me, I'm sent into a very deep emotional state for days and I cannot stand it anymore. The fact that I went through every single step to avoid this very thing & their system messed up and not one person gave enough ** about what I was going through. People are just inhumane anymore.

    A representative laughed at me because when she told us "Okay I'm going to fix this for you," my response to her was, so you're telling me you can fix it? Because the 5 representatives before you said they could not help me. So she laughed at me and told me she wasn't going to be disrespected. She then proceeded to do something on the computer and said she had to contact another department and she'd get it fixed. I told her how much I appreciated her and started crying (like I had already been doing all morning) told her that I wasn't trying to be short with her and was genuinely asking if she really could fix all of this after we've already been given the run around for two hours already.

    She verified she'd get it fixed and that I didn't have to cry. I get put on hold and guess what happened? She transferred me. Guess what? It was the same story with the next representative and I immediately asked for their supervisor. Got another supervisor on the phone. This person, the 10th or so person I finally talked to actually did his job. After telling him that we'd be contacting their legal department and finding an attorney for the absolute nonsense that we dealt with, they finally canceled our orders.

    His name was Jasper and I talked to his supervisor and told him how much I appreciated him actually doing what should have been done 3 hours before this. It took him all of ten minutes to do that for me. So thank you Jasper. But AT&T you have one of the WORST customer service experiences that I've ever experienced in the 29 years of my life. One representative even asked me if I knew anyone at the old address, I stated that my abuser lived there and that I didn't want to have to be in contact with them or where they live.

    She then proceeded to ask me who my abuser was, as if that was ANY of her business. Thank you AT&T for sending me into a morning of fear and agony and laughing in my face, hanging up on me, transferring me, telling me there's nothing you can do for me or "I'm sorry ma'am I know how you feel." No you don't and not even one of you empathized with me. This isn't how you take care of your customers. Not to mention I had to contact the BBB a few years back because an in store representative lied to me and got me into an iPad contract that I didn't want and even the store manager put her nose up at me and told me they wouldn't cancel the line or return the iPad.

Now fast forward to today 6/20/18, I received the worst experience of my life with AT&T customer service. I started my phone call at 17:55 (Arizona time) with a rep by the name of Stacy in which she stated she is going to review my account. I was on hold for over 30 minutes. To my sudden surprise I have a new representative by the name of Valerie asking me, how may she help me, in which I have to retell my issue.

    In the beginning, Valerie was helpful and stated the charge was from an accessory that was purchased on 5/22/18, I inform her I called to dispute a charge not to purchase any additional accessory. She then informs me that it can be done at a store, which I stated, "This is fraud," she then places me on hold for another 15 minutes to now get to another representative by the name of Mark with the "loyalty dept". By this time it is now 18:20, and again have to repeat my issue.

    Now the representative Mark, transfer me to a "supervisor" by the name of Michael at 18:35, and I was again asked to repeat my issue to later have my phone call be transfer again. Now at 18:48 another "supervisor" by the name of Liza ask me to repeat my dispute, in which at this time I began to cry from the frustration, and I requested to speak to now a manager and which Liza hung up the phone call. I am agitated at you AT&T!!! I was on my phone for approximately 2 hours to have a so-called "supervisor" release the call. THIS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! All I wanted was to remove the wrong charge on my account.

    Need help. My phone number was transferred back to AT&T from T-Mobile. T-Mobile has dropped my service and now I do not have service or a phone to call. Unfortunately since I don't have the SIM card that was sent to the wrong address, I have no phone service. I do have my old AT&T SIM card in my phone but it does not work.

    AT&T really screwed up this process. As of right now AT&T has ran my credit twice just to get my phone number and I still don't have service or a new SIM card. The only plan I want is the one I originally agreed to the first time I ordered the new SIM card that was sent to the wrong address. The plan was military, unlimited talk and data for 60$ and 55 with auto withdraw. I am very surprised AT&T has not tried to work with me on incentives to keep service with them. This was all a mistake on AT&T putting in the wrong address and me spending over 2 hours explaining myself over and over again.

    I have my own iPhone. Just need this service to be turned on. After all this I figured AT&T would give me a new iPhone after all the issues I have had over the past 3 hours. I have talked to getting my phone number imported back and they ran a credit check for the second time. I need my phone service turned on with that military plan, unlimited talk and text. My old AT&T SIM card is in my phone right now. I was on the family plan with the military plan but my parents wanted to leave AT&T and I need my own account set up. I have already received and email from AT&T that my number transfer status is complete. Again I have no phone service to call because of the number transfer back to AT&T.

    I cannot even create an account because AT&T does not recognize my phone number. Yesterday I talked to a person on the phone and he ran a credit check and took over my phone number so why can I not create an account? The first thing to create an account is what is your number. He ran a credit check and everything what is going on. BUT THE NUMBER DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE MY LAST CARRIER DROPPED ME BECAUSE AT&T WAS SUPPOSE TO TAKE OVER SO NO SERVICE.

    My billing period ended May 22, 2018, but I received my bill June 6, 2018 (two weeks later). The bill due date was June 12th. That gives me 6 days to pay. However, it takes three days in the mail, plus one day processing (per them) so I really have two days to get the payment in the mail. It irritates me greatly that they wait two weeks to send the bill, but give customers two days to pay it. AT&T has no incentive to send bills in a more timely manner because if you're late paying it's just another way for them to collect more money.

    Also, texts I send recently have been converted to Chinese. I called AT&T and was told this is an "encoding problem" and was told to take it in to a store. None of the three employees knew how to fix it. One said "This used to be a problem with long texts that had a smiley face, but that problem's been fixed." Uh, no it hasn't. I just showed you my text where this happened. They told me to call customer service because they had no idea about how to fix it. The vicious circle begins... Customer service is in India.

    For the last nineteen years, I’ve been a satisfied AT&T wireless customer… But my satisfaction is quickly eroding. Sure there’s been bumps in the road: No International connectivity when traveling and those annoying upgrade conversations for additional gigabyte data and Dish subscriptions, that I don’t need or want. The reps are good natured, courteous and provide a high level of service. But my latest adventure is just over the top.

    I attempted to get my late payment charge credited to my account since I felt that I had a good reason: I made the payment to the wrong AT&T… I paid AT&T Universal Credit Card instead of AT&T Mobile. I offered immediate payment, since I knew one division would find it far more difficult to make the minor transfer from one to another. After all, AT&T had their money. Instead, I was routed to four different Reps (Andre, #2, Pat and Randy)… No one had the authority to either credit $5.75 to my account or accept payment when offered. It cost a lot more in Rep time than my $5.75 request. I now knew I was dealing with a micro-managed enterprise and THE BIG MACHINE. Understand, It’s NOT about the money, it’s the principle of me against the Machine and how I was kicked from Rep to Rep at AT&T expense and their arrogant unreasonableness.

    After reading some of the Consumer Affairs Reviews, I now know that AT&T gets many complaints – most all, far more serious than mine. And instead of granting a $5.75 Credit, they’d rather resort to prolonging my agony and tying up four Customer Service Reps with their feeble explanations and call transfers before my request was finally denied. That said, the last Rep offered a Dish Subscription as a condition of granting my credit. When I declined he stood firm on the denial.

    Cross Selling is a wonderful Corporate Sales Concept (ask Wells Fargo about their cross-selling program and how it morphed over time)… But, holding me hostage for Dish Services was beyond the pale. THE BIG MACHINE shouldn’t ignore the details at the transaction level because it drives the LITTLE GUY to resort to posts like this one. Unfortunately, I will be looking for a new Mobile Phone Company after being faithful for NINETEEN YEARS. Guess they need the money and it’s sad that I’m no longer a valued customer over something so trivial.

    No Credit. No One Can Override. No One Cares. Arrogance is settling into AT&T's Mobile Policy. And to think it could have been fixed by a Cross Sell if I accepted the $200 Gift Card and subscribed to the Dish. Seems AT&T needs my $5.75 to fund Acquisitions, and Rep Staff labor expense to put customer calls on a merry-go-round, rather than have a satisfied customer. I wish AT&T the best on luck on their Time Warner acquisition and I hope my $5.75 helps.

    We had a WiFi Facetime call with a friend in Africa. Sometime at the beginning of the call (without our knowledge) the internet failed and the call was converted to cellular data. The call lasted 2 hours and the charges and taxes went up to $622. I have spoken to at least 7 people at ATT and none of them has had the authority to reverse the charges, or provide a credit. My claim went to "high level adjustment" and they were supposed to call me back after 4 days. I did not hear anything till I followed up 2 weeks later. I was told that they rejected my claim, with no explanation. I find it crazy that you aren't allowed to speak to humans that make these decisions.

    It's ironic (?) that ATT internet service dropping a Facetime call makes ATT Wireless a boatload of money. I don't normally leave reviews for businesses, but after spending hours on the phone with unsatisfactory results, it's all I can think of anything else to do... I've been an ATT customer for 15 years, and just in the last 3 years I've spent $10K with their company. I don't see how they can allow this to happen and not take action for the benefit of their loyal customers.

    On May 10th 2018 I had an AT&T live chat with "Misty **". I told Misty that I needed to add my 17 year old daughter to my cell plan and that she was a heavy data user. Misty quoted me the price of $75 per month for the Unlimited Choice Enhance Plan, minus an additional $10 per month if I signed up for autopay, which I did. So, Misty quoted me $65 per month plus taxes. When I received my next bill the charges were ASTRONOMICAL. I went back to a live chat with a man named "Charles" on May 22 2018. Charles went into the notes from the chat with Misty on May 10th and said that Misty made a mistake with her quote and I could not be given the $65 per month as promised. That is false advertising, promising and not delivering, hoping I wouldn't notice or have a record of the quote from our chat, fraud and shoddy business practices by AT&T.

    Not only that but Charles proceeded to push additional sales onto me after he knew he was dealing with fraud on his company's part. He bombarded me with sales pitches to further agitate me, even when I asked him to stop. In addition, I asked to be taken off of autopay several times during our conversation and Charles would not do this. Thank God I remembered to unlink my bank before AT&T stole more of my money.

After hours of waiting we received a buy one get one free iPhone 8 and laptop. I paid 100.00 out of pocket, we were happy; thought it was a good deal. I was told if I get DirecTV I get a better discount. I switched over from Dish to DirecTV. It was a cancellation fee in which I did receive a gift card to pay for 220.00. DirecTV came to install my service. When I went to make a payment they have no record of me receiving service and a month later turned my service off. I called numerous times and I got nowhere, I finally got a representative whom found my account and said I have to pay a charge to pay my bill. I was upset and they waived it. Till this day DirecTV can’t find my account and I still can’t make a payment. I was told I will be paying about 50.00 a month. I am paying 90.00 with no free HBO.

    Second my cellphone bill was estimated to be around 170.00-180.00 per month. I was paying 130.00 a month at mobile so I figured an extra 40.00 wouldn’t hurt. I was told the first bill will be a little high which is expected. My first bill was 300.00 I was appalled. The lady at the store helped me get accessories not knowing it was taking away from my switch over credit! Now I owe money to T-Mobile on top of these other charges. I gave in my paperwork to get a discount from my job of 18% and once I didn’t see I called they stated my job and AT&T are working on new ideas to work with plans. I called back and a rep said my plan didn’t qualify. I ask how much to cancel and they said it was almost 1500.00. So now I’m stuck for two years.

    I am writing because it’s horrible the way you guys abuse customer and trick them into products. I read the reviews from previous customers and it’s disgusting the way the company runs. The customer service reps don’t know what they are doing and don’t care. I do a lot of networking between both my jobs and I will make sure I ask everyone never use AT&T and will tell my story.

Rather than being able to have my phone unlocked through their Internet portal, I had to call the company and spend 1 1/2 hours on the phone with agents reading from scripts.

    I would like to start by saying that I have had AT&T service for about 19 years. Their customer service has always been severely lacking and I am DONE… this post is a LONG rant. If you do not want to feel sympathy-pains, please stop here. April 19, my cellphone stopped working: no internet, no calling (even AT&T). My phone was “blocked from the network”. I called AT&T on my Justin’s phone. Spent 2 hours on the phone getting it “resolved”. There was an insurance claim on my phone. Since I did not even HAVE insurance, they determined that the insurance company typed the phone number in wrong on another claim. Insurance company was closed. AT&T unblocked my phone and put in a request to reverse the claim. I would be contacted the next day.

    April 20, never heard a word from insurance. My phone was blocked AGAIN. Went into the store. They unblock my phone again and say it “may” shut off again before the insurance claim is reversed. We decide to get new phones and join plans to save money… Justin and I each owed less than $100 on our installment plans. We paid them both off, so we could “own” our phones. Sell his phone back. Use the “credit” to pay off his last bill. Go to sell mine, they cannot buy it back because it’s been blocked AGAIN (they offered to buy it for nearly $400). Once insurance claim is reversed, you can come back in and sell it. After 2.5 hours, we both walk out with new iPhone X and combined plan. Nothing of original issue was ever resolved.

    April 27, still no word from insurance reversal. Go into store. They ‘do their research”. At this point, the cell phone has now been reported as “lost or stolen” and is blacklisted from the network. Great… that’s one very expensive paperweight. First bill – y’all. It was more than my Jeep payment!! Justin’s installment discount was not applied and there were double charges all over the place that were not discussed upon agreement. Call AT&T. Another hour-long convo to be told “it’ll all clear up on your next bill…” Second bill – Still not lower. We were told it would be $350 for ALL services. This was just shy of $500.

    June 1, call AT&T to discuss bill (AGAIN). They explain that our two-year price guarantee expired. I was aware at the beginning of April that it would expire May 17th, so I had enrolled in another promotions (for the same discount) when I was in the store on April 20th. They say “Sorry ma’am, I’m not seeing any promotions”. After 1 hour and 40 minutes I cancel my cable. Keep 2 cellphones and internet.

    June 11, we get a “past due” bill for my fiance’s old account. Remember – we used the credit from selling his phone back to cover the final bill on this account. Call AT&T again. Transferred about three times and having to explain EVERY time. I end up in the “retention” department. Sweet… this seems like where I need to be. Over 2 hours later, I’m told I need to go back into the store because “they” are the ones that did not apply the credit correctly. THEY? Aren’t “they” AT&T, just like you??! Apparently not because, at that point, this lady turned into the “cancellation” department. WTF??! I thought you were the “retention” department?!? “Ma’am we are the same department” *Mind. Blown.*

    So, here we are. Two months later. Countless hours of customer “service”. Outrageous bills. Cancelled cable. “No notes” on our account outlining any of it. And now WE are supposed to go back to the store to settle it. The only reason I’m going into another store is to cancel every. **. Service. Thanks for nothing AT&T. On another note… what are y'all’s thoughts on Sprint and Verizon?!?

    She said she had reached the manager for the Tech, the Tech had car problems, & the manager was going to call me to apologize and reschedule. I told her they still could have called regard list of car problems. She agreed, and said that that was not acceptable. The manager was supposed to call back within 15 minutes. I gave it 1 and 1/2 hours, then called back to Asurion. That lady after listening to my story, did not read my notes, and transferred me to Tech Support, where that lady told me all she could do is reschedule me. Otherwise, she could transfer me to the main number. I told her to transfer me. She transferred me back to the original number!

I have to get this done because I am having surgery the next day, so this was my opportunity to get the screen repaired before my surgery. She said they have no way to track who will be the Tech to show up to do the repairs. All they can do is reschedule me.

    I told her that is not fair because they skipped my earlier time slot today. I only have The Choice of 1 late time slot the next day. Again she said all she could do is reschedule me for that time. This is terrible service when you pay multiple insurance costs for every device on your account, then you pay a deductible for a claim, Then if you file another claim your deductible increases per claim, which nobody ever told us, only to find out that nobody shows up to do the repairs that you paid all of this extra insurance money for. It is very disappointing that AT&T would do business with an insurance company like Asurion who has no control or knowledge over where or why their techs are or do not show up. Just another AT&T negative quality.

    I tried to switch all my internet, TV , home phone and cell to AT&T. They promised all sorts of discounts and bundling, but at the end of the day, it was all lies. They took my old phones, and then told us they could NOT give us credit due to the fact the old Sprint bill did fit the criteria for documentations. I was so frustrated with their "3 card monte" marketing, I canceled my phone, TV and internet switch. I tried to return the phones to get a refund, and had to fight them on the “cancelation period". I finally got a manager to agree to let me return the phones, and not owe anymore "fees or restocking charges", only to get a new restocking fee, "We can't find the notes from that manager."

    I have dealt with this company for many years and have many difficulties with them over the years. They have lacked good business. I don't consider myself a very techy person, therefore makes communication a little more difficult. Also, I think their billing is very confusing, so much so that sometimes I'm wondering if I'm getting cheated. They say things that they bill you for and it doesn't even make sense. Their customer service argues with you in a roundabout way like you're stupid.

    I purchased the BOGO at the beginning of the year for the Droids. We paid the upgrade fee to get the S8+ and all of the taxes. We were told that it would take 2-3 months of billing to see the BOGO credits. Fast forward 3 months later we called AT&T to see why the credits weren't on the bill, we were told again one more month. We waited. Called again. At this point we were told the store rep messed up when we did the BOGO and we didn’t qualify. 8 1/2 hours on the phone being told different answers and how it's the store’s fault and not AT&T. We finally were told we would see credits and it would be taken care of. NOW they double billed us with no credit. So we are back to square one with no credit on our bill but the double payment that they pulled from our account. This is turning into a legal issue with unfair sales practice and the old bait and switch.

    DO NOT sign with AT&T. We were Verizon customers for 11 years and our bill had been the same every month aside from minor increases when upgrading to a newer phone. We rarely had to call to inquire about a bill and there were never adjustments or increases without alerting us prior. We decided to try AT&T because all of their "promises" sounded like a good option and would save us about $20 a month. This is such a scam of a company and we are now willing to take the loss as it will only get worse.

    Bills are compounded every month with random "mandatory" fees. What was around $207 is now $269. This month, the fee was $11.33, the month before was $11.33, the month before was $14.30. So $207+$14.30 turned to $221.30 then the next month they added the $11.33 to $221.30. Then they add on phone charges for both phones which should only be one phone.

    We signed on 6 months ago with the BOGO offer but we have to call every month to fix the BOGO issue. We are charged $25 a month for both phones and only after we call do we get a credit on the following month's bill. We also opted for the auto pay discount when we signed up. Every month we get a text saying our auto-pay is disabled and we no longer qualify for the discount. When we call they say it's a glitch in the system and we are all set and just ignore the texts... But we still have to call every month to double check.

    Along with phones, we purchased an internet package and, when bundled, adds another discount. When we first didn't get this discount on our first bill, we went into a store and the associate said that isn't a real discount. He said he couldn't do anything for us. We got on the phone and demanded to speak to a manager until they gave us the price they said it would be when we signed up.

    Every time we get a bill, it's wrong and we have to jump through hula hoops to get it squared away. They credit our account every month with the $25 but the mystery fees are adding up to more than that. This isn't worth the hassle. This is wrong and every associate you speak with has a different answer and the next one says the info we got was wrong. There are too many different answers that don't make sense. We are on the phone with them right now and they just said we were removed from autopay... We are cancelling this service. We are taking a loss. We are going back to Verizon. I know returning the phones will be a ripoff. This is my first review on here but if I can add an update about when we cancel, I will.

Then to top that off I have problems with reception where I live though most times I have service it drops off or is of poor quality frequently. Customer service Representatives that I have talked to have all been great and very knowledgeable. So even though they have their little quirks and problems (they are working on changing this) I would not even think of changing my service provider.

    I switched to AT&T 10 months ago as I was in the market for two phones and they had a buy one get one "free" offer. The sales person did not tell me I couldn't pay off my phones so I paid everything except the $649.99 that was supposed to be the "free" part. As of today I have spent over 8 hours on the phone and several hours in store with these people trying to get the installment payments stopped. I have had four open cases, even an ICU case, which is a total joke. The cases are never resolved. The first case they told me that the deal was invalid because I had to have installments on both phones. The second time they told me one phone needed to be on the installment plan, so the deal was not valid because I paid off both. The third time they said that I paid off the wrong phone and the phone that the account was tied to had to have installments.

    They finally opened an ICU case for me when they told me I invalidated the deal because I didn't have DirecTV. I have been a DirecTV customer for over 12 years!!! Called back on the ICU case after not hearing anything for almost a month and after being on and off hold with someone for over an hour, explaining my story, being reassured that I would be helped, someone else came on the line and said, "This is AT&T. How can I help you?" They transferred me to another person in the middle of my call!!! I can't believe I'm still even a customer but I was hoping to get a reimbursement for $649.99, which is a significant amount of money. I realize now that I am never going to get them to do the right thing, so I am just going to take a loss, but I am going to use the time that I would be spending on the phone with them to spread negative publicity to everyone I can. Do not ever do business with this company.

    From the first month of services I have had nothing but problems and have had to call every month because of billing and tech issues. First, I was told that my connection fee would be waived for becoming a new customer. I had to call the next month because it was not done. I was told it would be corrected, they lied and it was only corrected on the future call mentioned below. Second, when I signed up I was given a buy one phone get the second phone free deal. They said I would be billed for the phone for 3 months but then credited after I passed the 90 day period to ensure I did not return the phone. This did not happen as they said and was told by a representative that they basically lied to me about the connection fee and free phone deal and finally corrected this only after I called in furious about the constant discrepancies in my bill.

    Third, the internet services for our phones were extremely slow, I transferred from T-Mobile and AT&T, they ensured me the services would be the same or better. We have had lousy connection and even found out they originally put us on a very slow plan. I also have DirecTV and home internet through AT&T and recently moved. When I set my appointment to transfer services to the new home I was told to bring over modem, and receiver boxes for the DirecTV. As we waited all morning a technician came but told us he was only here for internet and that Directv is a separate appointment. I was never told that. I called in because it was after the appointment time frame and the Directv technician still hadn’t arrived. The first rep said the tv appointment was unscheduled, I was so upset as I was waiting all day and nobody ever told me the appointment was unscheduled and they had no explanation to why.

    They told me I had to wait 72 hours and wait for someone to contact me. I refused and demanded to talk with someone who could tell me what was going on. Finally I was transferred to dispatch who left me on hold for at least 30 minutes then told me the tech was running late and would call me when he was on the way. My appointment was scheduled between 8-12 and it was already 2pm. I explained that I needed a time frame because I was sitting in an empty house all morning waiting and it was already 2 hours later. I was put on hold again for an extended period of time so the rep could find out. Then was told it would be another 30 minutes. Then got a call from an automated system saying they would be here by 4pm. My point here is the customer service and loyalty to the customer is horrible. I have been lied to so many times and cannot wait to be done paying off my phone and contract so I can go with a different company...
