I have tried accessing the website many times. Each time I have problems with the ID and password working. Sometimes I get locked out. Today I changed the ID and password, got into my account. I needed to make late payment arrangements and thought I had done this. But when I tried to cancel automatic payments it would not let me, forced me to log out which would not work and then I was forced to exit without logging out. I do not know whether my late payment arrangements were kept. I immediately took money from my account so they could not take it using the info I gave them. Disturbing big brother techniques, I think.

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.

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.

I have been a customer for 6 years on my business account and personal account, also a customer with U-verse and Directv. 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 chose to have a paper bill. I just received my bill today, July 23. The due date is July 25. If I am late, they will charge a $9.00 late fee, I asked when they sent out their bills. Supposedly it is on the 7th of the month so that it gives 16 days to be delivered. Guess the post office takes a very long time or they AT&T is not telling the truth. Makes it easier for them to collect late fees.

I have had AT&T for many years, I'm getting more and more frustrated and unhappy. Our AT&T store has the worst employees have ever dealt with. Nine times out of ten they don't know how to help with a problem, if it's 15 minutes to closing time they don't want to help you, especially if you want to purchase something using cash. Have a problem with an iPhone they said it's because the person I'm talking to doesn't have an iPhone. Really like that makes sense.

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 received a new iPad from AT&T for purchasing a new cell phone. I only took it because it was FREE. For over l year they have been charging me for that iPad. The iPad has been in the drawer since I received it for FREE. I have no use for it. Don't know how to use it and don't want to use it. I called AT&T and told them to stop charging me for something I don't want or use. They claim I signed a 2 year contract for the iPad. I would never knowingly sign a 2 year contract for something I knew I would never use. They want to charge me over $100.00 to take the iPad off my cell phone bill. I told them I am 76 years old and had no idea I was going to be charged for something they were giving me for free.
The salesman also put TELEVISION on my cell phone when I purchased it Without my knowledge. Someone told me I had it on my phone. I had no idea. I brought the phone back into the store and he removed the television from the phone. Now, I want the iPad account closed as I don't use it. It is still brand new in the box. I spoke with AT&T Loyalty dept. and they would not help me. I explained the salesman did not explain anything to me. He saw he was dealing with a 76 year old woman and tried to get as much commission from the sale that he could get. Can you help me get the iPad account closed without paying over $100.00? Thank You.

I was with AT&T for over 7 years. Paid for my phones in full, my bills every month and didn't have much issues. Until my phone broke and I needed a new phone. 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. Save yourself ton of stress and headaches, go with a better company.

Signed up with company and have watched monthly bill increase slowly each month. Company took over DirecTV and watch channel availability decrease and monthly fee increase. No way to email them and repeated request to have someone call have been ignored. Been customer of DirecTV for twenty years and am totally disgusted. Have unlimited data plan but when it reaches 11GB everything slows down. This is pure BS. One pays for unlimited and should get such. This company is dishonest and needs investigation for monopoly and/or mob-like behavior.

They sent us a box for us to return the old phone. We did that. They are saying they didn’t receive it and now put 940$ on my bill. This is the second time in 6 months we have had to pay a big amount for something they scam up. I’ve been a good customer and this makes me sick. The last representative I talk to was rude and snippy. I told him, "How do I know someone in their warehouse didn’t steal the phone and not log it in"!

For $270 a month 3 lines, I should be getting excellent customer service. I’ll be changing phone service, and I don’t think I’ll get my credit. I’m tired of waiting. I’ve been a customer of theirs for 13 years. It’s like they don’t want me to stay with company, when I say I’m switching they don’t even comment anything. Other companies usually try to get you to stay and might give you incentives. Not AT&T, very disappointed with them.

Don't speak to anyone at ATT Customer Service when connected to a live person!!! Immediately ask to speak to someone from the United States. The representatives are from the Philippines and in my humble opinion anyone from this country cannot relate to someone in the United States or has common knowledge on how society prevails here in the USA. It is a constant innuendo type conversation and you are immediately flagged as low class no matter how humble or considerate you are.
If you are considering to activate new service. Have in mind, you will be speaking to a person from a 3rd world country with substandard living where there are no rules with anti social aspects and common human emotion with a general attitude against anyone who is not from that race etc... Yes they are racist. I spoke to Mary ** and she could not give me information on how or why my call forwarding was not working Monday morning. I had to call ATT and ask to place my number back to call forward my calls etc... She call tested etc... It was also a general rude conversation, even with a person from the United States.

I asked my salesman (at Westmoreland Mall Sales office in Greensburg, PA) at least 10 times what my monthly charge would be, the total cost per month. Mike ** responded all 10 times that I would be paying only $253 per month. He said this over and over. He so conveniently just never added in the cost of the four new phones in that total.

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.

The tech says he's taken care of that and now he's gonna put me on a better channel for my wifi to run more smoothly. It's been 2 weeks of the same old BS, runs slow, (if it works at all).

I have been a customer of AT&T since 2004. Customer service was why I stayed with them as every rep I ever spoke to was awesome and if something was incorrect in my billing, they corrected it and gave me a credit. They now give you absolutely nothing all while they charge you for every little detail and then some! They now charge you $800 for a new phone that doesn't last 2 years and tell you that Apple charges them the same price they charge us. Apple charges for 1 phone $800 but AT&T who buys thousands of phones supposedly pays the same price? You have to think I'm really ignorant to believe that lie!
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.

ZERO stars if possible. This company has a bunch of crooks with a license to steal. Close to 100 bucks for a 10-minute installation. I used their service for a couple of days before canceling, and then the bill for the month came out to be over $108! Ridiculous. This is the last mistake I will ever make, and I will most definitely EVER consider any of their services ever again.

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 feel I have been a more than loyal customer to AT&T and to be sent to a collection agency for services that were not provided is unfair.

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. Been with AT&T in one place or another for around a half century, and this is how I am treated. All caps are for emphasis-not yelling.

My iPhone won’t let me receive calls in my home, drops calls when I dial out and is garbled when if I do make it through to friends. Customer service and IT says nothing can be done about it. I have tried everything they suggested but nothing worked. A manager at a ATT store told me to call IT and ask for a microcell booster. The guy just laughed and told me they haven’t sold them in a year.

Apparently it’s not “policy” to refund my money in my account unless it was put there for something or whatever. What crooks... So now I have money sitting in limbo until I add more on to use it.
To keep it short I was bounced around 2 supervisors and 2 representatives that could not satisfactorily end my problem. I plan on cutting my service as soon as possible.

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. Whoever is reading this STAY AWAY from AT&T! You will pay out of your nose not mentioning the emotional stress you will go thru. These people are thieves and liars!

I then contacted the AT&T customer support for both digital telephone and internet and was told that the soonest someone could come out to look at what was wrong was five days. Unbelievable!!! 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. Customer want to do business with a firm that values their customer’s time and satisfaction for purchasing a product. I wonder what idiot stood up in front of AT&T executive management and sold them on their current technical service model. Truly 3rd world!

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.

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. People are nice, but appear to only be able to read responses instead of having a real interaction. I appreciate them, but expect better.

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...

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.

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?!?

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.

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.

When your account has a limited data plan AT&T will charge you $15 for 1 GB of data when you run out of data before month end, WITHOUT your approval. I was charged $15 at 6pm on 5/31 for use to 6/1, and the extra data was NOT rolled over. When talking with a local rep, I was told the only way to stop this was to change my data plan. I considered this stealing, AT&T charged my account without my approval.

The plan that I have allows for coverages on data without having to pay for it but it is slowed down so badly that it takes a day and a half for pages to load and since I use data more than anything else it really affects my ability to get things done. 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. As I have compared the plan I have to the same plan on other services and for what it is this one is the best price with the best coverage for my area.

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...

I am currently not an AT&T customer, however I was charged $90.69. Why? I don't know. I have been on the phone for an hour (which happens every time - at the very least), and I have been transferred 5 times with everyone saying that they can not help me with the issue that it is a different departments area.
The last two reps I asked for their name so there can be some accountability in actually helping me with the issue. One of those reps just transfers me without saying her name. The next Pedro something hung up on me. It is not the reps fault necessarily because I would hate to give my name if I knew I wasn't able to help with anything. AT&T needs to put in money for better training reps. Have systems in place to keep people responsible and empowered to actually take care of issues. There also needs to be more congruency in their departments. Lastly I want an answer on why I was charged, how it will not happen again, and when I will get my money back.

AT&T Cheating via billing!!! It is a worldwide known fact that all WhatsApp calls and FaceTime calls use either the WIFI or the Data Plan. I keep my WIFI and the Cellular Data completely active at all times as I use the WhatsApp and Facetime to call my colleagues and family. AT&T system inability to identify the calls and correctly and switch them using either WIFI or Cellular data, caused my calls to my colleagues to be billed as International calls.
Case 1. I raised the complaint on 4/17/2018 and talked to an Agent by name Luke, who understood my issue and made a credit of the $322.92 which brought my bill normal for the billing period March 12th to April 11th 2018. To my request to deactivate all International calls (which was secretly kept default by AT&T) Luke confirmed that he has done it.
Case 2. On 5/14/2018 I again see the same set of International charges piling on my bill for the billing period April 12th to May 11th 2018, with the previous bill carry over also added. I again reach out to customer service agents, and first Juan, then Aicee, and then Aedan comes over to the chat and promises resolution. Finally it goes to Jacob (the so called Supervisor) who promises to raise a help desk case# for resolving my concern. He gave me much consoling that everything will get fixed and still I see NOTHING fixed for my bill.
Case 3. Again on 5/18/2018, I get in touch with the customer support agents again requesting resolution. Now Devon comes to picture, then Brayan, and then to his so called supervisor Mauricio. In the meantime I am provided the loyalty contact number by Mauricio where I get connected to Sue, then to Patricia and finally to Benelyn who finally manages to raise the proper case ID# ** to address my concern.
By this time I have spent at least 3 days talking to multiple people presenting my case repeatedly again and again but in vain. With the case# ** Benelyn promises resolution as on 5/21/2018. Benelyn promises resolution of the case with the details as given below: Actual Bill Amt: $738.63. Credit to be applied: $525.25. Actual Total payable: $213.38. Finally when I reach out to the agent to check on the status of the case saying that the back office denied saying these were international calls. To be very clear to AT&T I have informed that I use Vonage to do all my international calls and never my cell phone AT&T connection.
Case 4: Today 6/4/2018 I follow up on the case again with the agent Kimberly where she updates the case with my concern, and in the night I get a mail that the back office denied my claim. Now I am not sure how else to present this case of acute cheating by AT&T. I am even ready to test out my device with the same scenarios, however without even respecting the loyalty of a longtime customer, AT&T repeatedly shows the arrogance of pushing their problems down the customer's throats.
All I ask is for my issue to be resolved and my eligible amount to be credited where I was never on the wrong side. Hence who so ever is AT&T's respected superior authority, kindly listen to this humble request of a loyal customer and help me out!!! In case you need the audio recordings of my conversations with your so called supervisors, I can even provide that. All I am saying is that as a Customer "I HAVE NOT MADE ANY INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR CALLS". All call from my cell phone that has gone out to the international number are ONLY WhatsApp and FaceTime audio calls, which should be using AT&T Cellular Data or WIFI.

AT&T CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY A NIGHTMARE. The new Samsung 9 and 9+ phones are difficult to serve up and even more difficult to use. You cannot find anyone online or on the phone or in a store that can provide much useful assistance. The customer service from the Philippines is difficult because even though they speak English they do not appear to comprehend it and are of no help at all!

Too expensive for the spotty coverage and slowed down data at end of billing period. Also, many times one bar; thus, bad reception.

AT&T is the worst company! Be aware about their unlimited data plan - it’s not actually unlimited. They don’t tell you that you will no longer have your hotspot and they slow you down to 2G after you use a certain amount of data.

I originally switched from Verizon to AT&T being told the costs would either be the same or decline from my original costs. Well after the slick used car salesman fast talk I signed the dotted line for a two year stint. Well, to start Mr. slick AT&T rep didn't port my iPad from Verizon to AT&T, he just assigned it a new number so I was still receiving a Verizon bill for my iPad. In turn I shut that part off and contacted AT&T to fix the issue and was told it was my fault! It was a big huge hassle to get it fixed as I had asked to have the Verizon costs credited (90.00) as it wasn't my fault. I got nowhere with the original calls to the local AT&T store along with numerous speaking to "manager". I even attempted to gain a number to the District supervisor and was only given an email address.
So I decided I be best to move the corporate side of the issue and mostly all I got was this rep or that rep, but after 6 calls I finally got one who actually gave a crap. He in turn sent my issue to a regional VP who called me personally and offer an apology for the issues I had been having. She credited the costs I had to pay to Verizon and even gave me 250.00 credit to my account, still it left a sour taste in my mouth and when I'm done with my plan I'll switch back to Verizon as their coverage and data strength in my area is 100% better than AT&T.
I upgraded my iPhone so I am on the payment plan for it and even with this the costs for the plan was originally 60.00 higher than I was paying with Verizon. I did look at the plan and changed it to a lesser one than I originally had (unlimited). Now it's the 15GB plan and the costs are similar to my original Verizon plan. So here I sit stuck in a plan for another year and a half.

Because we live in a rural area, we are largely undeserved with cell phone service. At our residence we get ZERO service, but 1/2 mile up the road we get the absolute minimum. The only time I can use my phone is when I travel 3-4 miles into a nearby town. Others who have Verizon do get service at our house. I only keep my current service from another carrier because it's VERY inexpensive.

I only had AT&T for two months and on auto pay to save 5.00. So far not bad with the service but they don't like it when you bring in an unlocked phone, plus they try to charge you to install a free app of DirecTV to avoid being charged the price of the sim card. I told her I already have that app installed on my phone and I'll pay you for the sim card.

I had AT&T’s service for over 15 years. I had a billing issue when my son (Army) was stationed overseas for 3 months. I made several calls and had numerous online “chats” but was never able to clear up the issue. I was even told twice by customer service reps that I “declined a credit”. Two customer service reps found the problem but was unable to issue the credit in their department.
After spending several hours on this, I finally gave up and switched to T-Mobile. I have been extremely happy with their phone service and customer service. I will never go back to AT&T. Not only did I cancel phone service with them but I also canceled TV and WIFI. They now have a collection company harassing me. As soon as someone has ALL the records, calls, messages from the account and has reviewed it all, I’ll talk to them, although I’m hoping that somebody initiated a class action lawsuit against them... I’ll be the first to join the cause!

I paid what I owed them and they won't give me what they owe me. They are going to keep my money. That's stealing. I don't owe them nothing and they are going to keep my money. I don't want a credit. I don't owe them. They got their money and I can't get my money back. That's not right. I need my money back. That's all the money and AT&T is going to keep it. When you go to the store you get your change back. They don't keep it and tell you that you have a credit. You get your change back. AT&T is stealing money that they are not owed. That was money on my other bills.
Now I am going to be short on my bill because AT&T won't give me my change back. I get paid once a month. I don't have money to give away. I am poor. I don't have money to pay extra on bills. It might seem little but that can hurt someone. I don't have money to give to AT&T and I want my money back. Is this what they do billion dollar company by taking money from the poor and not refunding people what they're owed and telling you what they are going to do with your money. AT&T they are a ripoff.

I have been dealing with trying to get internet service at my home for over 15 years. I keep getting the same response answer there is a CAP in my area, therefore no more service is being offer. Just because we live in rural area doesn't mean we do not use internet or we are dumb backwards hecks. Contacting the president office is not any help either - he do not respond. He has his so called staff who can't help with the problem. Call you with the same bull crap story. If they do not want to provide the service to their customers then release the area to another company that can. I know that Centurylink and Time Warner serve people less than a mile away from my home. Also my neighbor thru the woods have AT&T internet service. DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. They want to keep raising the price for home service to make up for their cost of not providing internet.
I have to use Verizon data service in order to get any type of internet service. This is the reason why after having my cell phone service with them ever since they were BellSouth - I was one of the first customer whom they had - was with them for approx. 30 years service was horrible but I stuck it out - after not being able to offer me internet and lying and refusing to open the so called cap - I drop their wireless service and have move to Verizon and no problems with their service. If I didn't have to have a landline for my security service I would drop AT&T so quick. Good job Verizon and AT&T you suck. Rural areas need internet service and if you don't want to provide then release the area to someone who can provide the service that is needed in the area.

The only problem with the prepaid service is the phones they offer. I've had both AT&T and Straight Talk. Still on the AT&T. Both phones are pretty good Samsungs but neither can have over 4-5 apps without running out the internal memory. You can't run most apps off the micro SD. Apps are what mobile phones are all about to me. Provide phones with at least 64 gigs internal memory and prepaid is the only way to go.

AT&T internet has gone down... again, this time it's been out for around 18 hours. I used my T-Mobile phone to pull up the AT&T site which said there was an outage in my area and it would be repaired by 5:45 this afternoon. It's now after 10 pm and it's still out. They've stopped giving us a time when it will be operational so this will likely go into tomorrow or longer. My small business depends on the service which doesn't work all too often, especially when you consider they're higher than their competitors. Lastly, AT&T seems like they couldn't care less about their customers. The company has grown so large that when contacting them you get recordings. After navigating through a maze and fortunate enough to get a live person they say the same thing as the recording: "We're sorry, thanks for your patience. Next!" We're looking into Dish Internet. It's slower, but at least it works.
