When having problems you have to go into an AT&T store. You can't call anyone on the phone. They will say all is ok, and you leave and the same thing happens. Just wish you could get a phone that has no problems, whether it's provider or phone. You'd think in today's age we could get coverage everywhere but I know it's all a game with these companies to get our money and then say, “Screw you; we got you now!” When are we going to find companies who really care about their customers? Maybe they could learn from past companies who actually cared about more than the bottom line $$$$$$.

The telecommunications customer service with any of them, are all overseas - and foreigners do not like Americans and could care less about the kind of service they give to them. What I experienced within the last month has put AT&T and others technology back to where it was 20 years ago; I know better than this. The salesperson entered an incorrect code and cancelled a few things such as my home phone and DSL.
And the AT&T "customer service" department (who was from the Philippines, because I asked for their location) told me that it would take them 3 weeks to get it back up and running because they did not have an AT&T Technician in my area of the United States that they are all contractors and no one would be available in my area (even though I see AT&T vans all over my city - so I know this part is way overboard incorrect). Whoever sold out the United States Telecommunications "customer service" department (which is the US Politicians) needs to go live in these third world countries without any access to anything including getting back into the USA to live - this is horrible service to treat voting citizens of the USA and one I do not and will accept.

Dropped calls, long hold times and every time I pay to be out of the country the next month we are calling back to fix the bill. Other than that no major problems.

2 chats + 4 calls + my time wasted = 0 revenue. I will not spend an outrageous $180 on cable (WITH COMMERCIALS) to have my calls outsourced. These employees of AT&T have ZERO permission to do anything and sound like a broken record asking to update your info with ever transfer. In the end it took one US based csr under 2 mins to resolve my issue, but it was too late. I cancelled. Protip(s): Hulu or Netflix charge about $10/month and you don't have to FF through commercials and digital antennas aren't as bad as sitting on hold with India sooooo make the move - I promise it's worth it! If you chose to keep cable (any cable) then tell their recording you would like to cancel - they will hook you up with a real representative that has authority to help you and not waste your time.

This company provides the WORST customer service!!! And tries to SCAM: Did you know that when traveling abroad, it's not enough to turn off your cellular and roaming? You have to call a rep to have it turned off? One department doesn't speak to another, and they dropped my call after 1.5 hrs on the phone, explaining this! You SUCK! Now the "Unified Billing" is telling me to go to a store. They can't see notes from other departments and webchats. Why are you so INCOMPETENT???

I called customers service about a mistake they made on my account that resulted in extra charges. I talked with several people that couldn't help me. The last one I spoke with was Wanda. She was no help and hung up on me. Would'nt even listen to me and hung up. I called back and talk to someone else. It seems they have my account so messed up that the higher ups have to figure it out. Watch your bills. Make sure they don't combine them unless you want it that way. I've spent about 5 hours on the phone trying to fix their problems. Rude people. Treat you like crap.

I've been an ATT customer for about 8 years. I used to have DSL service that ATT changed to U-verse with the promise to lock the price. First bill I received it said the price was a promotion for 12 months, called them and they confirmed and said that I won't have any problem, when promotion expired, just call them and they will put it back. But that was a lie, year after year I have to fight the customer service to change me from one promotion to another. Finally they offered me to join internet and iPhone bills for 1 year (promotion again) to save me $30.00 and they also will increase the speed (which I did not ask for). Result, I have got a bill for $190, about $60 more than I used to pay for both bills separately. So, my question is why I'm still with them? Too slow, I guess. Looking right now for another company that can honor what it promises.

There is a lot of turmoil going on within this company. The communications between departments is very poor. The salespeople don't seem to understand the limits in the installers. The installers aren't trained well. We have a microcell tower that only works 70% of the time because it is dependent on our horrible wielding. Signal in the neighborhood has been very poor for months, if not years. It has been very very frustrating.

I like the ease of use of their website and I have never had to call customer service.

The fix is almost always as simple as turning my phone off then on again.

Attempted to switch to AT&T Wireless after receiving an offer in the mail for a free iPhone 7. Customer service assured me via chat that I was eligible for the offer. After attempting to activate the phone upon receipt, I was informed that the offer was only available to those porting in a number and that my number was not eligible to be ported. This was contradictory to what I had been told via customer service chat. After spending about 2 hours on the phone with multiple people, they determined that my number was not eligible for port. Because of the confusion they would honor the promotion anyway.
The supervisor claimed that she placed an override on my account to allow the promotional offer to be applied. The bill credits were to start in 2-3 months and she said to call if I did not begin receiving them. It's been over 9 months since the order and I still have not begun receiving the bill credit. After calling AT&T, they now tell me that I was never eligible for the promotion and will not be receiving the bill credit. The only reason I switched to AT&T in the first place was for this promotion that is being disallowed. I have been given 2 separate case numbers through customer service and neither one of them has brought any resolution to the situation.

ATT store agents failed to unlock my phone properly prior to leaving the country, during my vacation and after my return blaming me for their failures. ATT still owes me over $1200 in back credit. They are denying issuing this credit despite its showing in the statement. My contract with them is only for $72.39 per month yet they charge me up to 600-800 sometimes. I call them, they give me credit and it shows in the statements but it doesn’t post neither adds up in the bills every so often. All their employees are arrogant and rude and abusive of their office. They never solve the problem only part of the problem.
Again they keep saying, “We gave you credit,” and at the same time it is not reflecting. I still have to pay what they’re asking otherwise they say, “We’ll disconnect your service.” This been going on for years. To date ATT and its employees affiliates have shown no remorse, apology and never at the least have shown me respect, accountability nor any responsibility. I have an email from them stating they will not bill me again, will keep my service going indefinitely until they come to a resolution. Few weeks later I get a phone call from them demanding payment or will disconnect my service. Admitting only to part of their faults but keep charging me from 5 to 8 times what I owe them.
To date ATT owes me 1251.81 + (556.93-72.39). That’s $1736.35. I have sent them a spreadsheet and asked them to corroborate the items in the spreadsheet. To date they refuse to do so. For more documents and evidence proving that these are all ATT numbers from their monthly bills please email me and I will send them to you to examine the same.

They use to pass along the ball from one customer representative to other who may respond somewhere between 20-30 minutes each by saying this is U-verse account which I do not why even after removing DirecTV an year back.

AT&T customer service agents although I'm sure are good people, they are trained to sound like Carnival "Barkers". Take one issue and talk to three agents and you will get three different responses. I have received several special promotion flyers in the mail and would like to have DirecTV and Hughes Network. But when I respond to the promotion I get the biggest runaround I have ever seen. The original agent will communicate a service cost, get your SS# and credit card # and then pass you on to another agent for installation scheduling. When that happens and the final cost is communicated, the cost is much higher than the first and you are paying for channels you didn't ask for, Example, NFL Network which has an extra charges. Signal strength is weak everywhere I go. The armband on my Gear S2 broke and I was told I had to buy a new watch. What!!

It took almost two weeks to have a phone unlocked so I could change providers. I was sent into the Abyss of customer service representatives to have to repeat myself over and over again. Once even getting transferred to the Collections dept. I was told my phone could not be unlocked because there was a balance on the phone, but that was not true. So every three days after submitting a new case and speaking with several managers (I even think it was the manager that transferred me to the Collections Dept.) I received a blanket email telling me my request had been denied due to the phone having a balance. I was told that the process was automated and that a "real" person couldn't help me that they had to keep submitting a new request.

We have been AT&T customers for over 10 years. When our daughter was in college we purchased the device protection for her phone. We have paid $8.99 per month since then (2011). Recently (2017) her phone died and we used the plan. Imagine our surprise when we realized the phone that we will pay our deductible toward - is a REFURBISHED phone. I'm sure it's in the small print that they aren't replacing it with new. Anyway the first two phones have been a bust and despite the face we've had the phone for 3 weeks - we have to do extensive over the phone troubleshooting in order to get another replacement. So if I calculate it right - we just paid $579.49 for a refurbished iPhone 6. Wow... Makes us look pretty silly.

Save yourself some time, trouble and look elsewhere. Constantly CALL your business with "Help" which is actually sales pitches. After telling them numerous time to STOP calling and mail all sales pitches, they still continue to call. Try to go through customer service but their "Security" requires: your #, business name, address, account number and pin #, which you don't know because they assign 1 to you and it's not on your bills.
So they have to assign a new pin #, you need to log into your email account to retrieve the new assigned pin #, just to get them to stop calling your business. They then tell you they will fix the problem phone calls, which do stop for a few weeks, only to start up again soon after. I hope small business owners read this, determine if they have the time to waste and then seek other options.

After realizing my iPhone was messed up I spent 10 1/2 hrs on the phone, 8 1/2 with AT&T and another 2 with Apple only to find my phone obviously had problems, I was being charged $15 every other day for data yet had no game apps on my phone or a lot of apps of any kind. I'm 54 so I really only used call, text, occasional internet to google info but that's about all. Yet I was getting charged ridiculous amounts of money each month usually upwards of $200 and above for one phone. In 8 1/2 hrs with at&t I had to tell the problems I was having, then directed to supervisor to then again tell problems then give landline number to get callback that never came so I'd call back and repeat with no real help to anything I described.
Finally I called insurance and with small fee of around $100 I could get new phone, I already was being charged full amount for my iPhone after being well over contract by about 2 yrs which I always upgraded only paying around $200, but for whatever reason I was paying over $500 and had already paid over $300 on this phone that never worked properly since day one and increasingly got worse over time. I would turn it on and FB would just be gone, one day I turned it on and a screen said put in wifi password, never had to do that before and no password would work and couldn't get screen off so had to make a trip to at&t and leave my phone and pick up later.
I can go on and on but I refused to pay another dime on this phone, so I called Apple. In less than an hour I had the head of customer care on the phone who had me take phone to apple store where they put everything on new iPhone only to find out it wasn't the hardware. It was a virus that was on phone when I got it, whatever version at the time had a virus, nothing I deleted was ever deleted so it all took up space and it caused a whole host of problems so while getting this taken care of at&t kept charging me even after I told them about the problem and gave them the info from apple. They then turned my phone off while in the middle of opening my business leaving me with no information kept on it and no way to be contacted, the help has not nearly enough education on the phones to help you when you call.
It all comes down to them getting their money with no real care or concern to any problems, I paid thousands over what I should have on a phone that of no fault of my own was a lemon, now they are on my credit report giving me a lower score because of something that was out of my control, after using them for years and giving them a lot of my hard earned money. As a single mom of 3 daughters not a lot to spare but they got it, never got reimbursed or any help on the matter, sorry at&t. With all that money you could at least act like you care about the very ones who give you all that money you have!! Try giving a little back and watch God bless you for doing what's right!!

I upgraded my phone with AT&T Next program, biggest mistake of my life, at an AT&T store. I was tacked on services that I never wanted. They lied to me about my shared data usage on the "free" iPad they offered and lied about the international roaming. All resulted in a significant overage on my bill. I called customer service multiple times, 15 and counting, but every time after relaying my story to a new agent, I got empty promises. They opened a case with "Back Office" supposedly the ultimate authority on resolving disputes and supposed to do so in 7-10 business days. Well, it has been over 2 months, 3 escalation tickets on the original case later, I am still sitting frustrated. My service keeps getting cancelled even though I have been paying my bills regularly except for the disputed charges.
I may have spent over 20 hours of my weekday time trying to get AT&T to resolve the open case but they couldn't care less. Customer service cannot contact 'back office' nor can they give their number for me to call them directly. At AT&T the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. Every agent responds differently to the same issue. They have a scripted response which says they feel bad and apologize but cannot do anything to help me. I have been a loyal customer for over 14 years and have 5 lines. Looks like Verizon or T-Mobile are getting my business very soon. AT&T can keep their lousy customer service and continue to lose their customers. One Frustrated AT&T Customer.

About 2 years ago my Mom had cancer so we added her to our cell bill to help alleviate some of her costs. She is doing well now and wanted to start her own cell plan. I consulted with AT&T several times since we were doing installments on her phone. On 3 different occasions they told me that the installments were done and that she could have her number and phone moved from our account. When we went to unlock her phone they said that there were still installments pending. I called them and showed on my bill that we had paid all the installments. The phone was unlocked and she moved to her on plan with a different provider. Several times I asked if this was going cause us to be charged in any way if she takes her number and that phone to another account. Each time I was told no.
A few weeks ago I received a bill saying that I need to pay, in addition to my regular monthly bill $348 for the remaining installment payments on her phone. I have spent now more than 8 hours on the phone with them. Not only could they not tell me which phones I had on my plan but when they were initially put on our plan. They could not tell me when the installment payments were done. I had to provide that information to them again. But then they told me that the installment payments for my son's phone and that they had somehow been attached to my Mom's number. Her number not her phone. So her phone is paid off but payments are attached to her phone number. Seems like a simple fix. Attach the payments to the device you are actually paying on. THEY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO DO THAT.
Even though their representatives assured me on several occasions that we would not pay anything additional to move her to her own account, I have been told there is nothing that can be done other than pay the $348 or move her number back to our account. If we moved her back then she will have an early termination fee on her new contract. The person I spoke with said there was nowhere to escalate this. That she was end of line. Every time I received these assurances from their representatives I asked if I could have their extension or employee number or something to identify them. Each time I was told some reason why I would not be able to get in contact with that particular employee again. Well can you call me back? Nope. They are inbound only.
So regardless of what they tell you, you have no way to prove that. I asked why they record their calls. “Solely for training.” Another company that will not do what they need to make the customer happy. I am not disputing the installment payments on my son's phone. It is still on the plan and being used. I am disputing paying installment payments in a lump sum for his phone that has not left our plan. The installments should be attached to the device since that is what you are paying for not to the phone number. But if they lose customers today due to bad customer service they don't care. They know they will have more customers sign up today. Companies today have gotten away from taking care of their customers and retaining them. They will actually factor that into their profits and losses. Once they get as big as AT&T they don't care about the customers any longer.

Moved just down the street and transferred service. It would have been very easy to cancel service and go with someone new. We decided to continue service with AT&T. Scheduled our appointment to transfer the service location a MONTH before the move due to the vital nature of having internet service as my employment depends on it. They cancelled the first appointment and rescheduled without having an explanation for the cancellation. This cancellation put us an additional 3 weeks without internet connection. Then, the NIGHT BEFORE the appointment, they send a message to state the appointment has been canceled and to please call to reschedule.
Needless to say we are irate at the SECOND cancellation AND TWO DAYS of PTO taken off of work to stay home and wait for their technician to come. We call to inquire and they have no answer as to why it has been canceled a second time. There was no offer to try and move appointments around or get someone to our home urgently. A third appointment is made for a week later... Which is TODAY. We are told a technician will arrive between 9-12 today. Well, it is 1 pm and no sight of a technician and no phone call no email no smoke signals... NOTHING. My husband is calling AT&T from his job AGAIN...

My husband and I switch to AT&T in hopes of getting better service. We were dropping calls with Verizon. We ended up not getting better service with AT&T and the worst customer service along with it. They never gave us return labels for our phones after several attempts and then told us we are to pay them $2000 and are stuck with the phones and there's nothing we can do about it!

We have a billing issue. We called the customer service provided on the billing. It contacted us with someone in the Philippines that we could not understand very well. We asked to be contacted with someone in the US and she refused. We kept on pressing the issue and she said that all calls are sent to the Philippines or India and not the US. We advised her of the law that states we can demand contact with someone in the US and she kept on refusing to transfer us. We spoke with her supervisor who sent us back to the original person. I again asked for the supervisor and after a few minutes of being on hold, the original person came back on and said her supervisor was busy.
I told her that we have never had issues being transferred to the US and was tired of her lies so I am going to hang up and call again and perhaps I can reach someone who is helpful. So, we did call again and reached the Philippines again, however this time we were transferred with no issues. Time to find out if other carriers have better service and support.

I sent my iPhone 6s to AT&T to trade it in for a $200 credit, which was a promotion they have going on. I went to their website, which they said didn’t exist (tradein.att&t.com) to see if my trade in was received, it was. Then right next to it, it said my promotional $200 credit was donated. I did not donate the money because I absolutely need that money to pay my next bill. When I asked the AT&T representative where the money went they told me a third-party must’ve donated it by accident. The first third-party number was out of service (866) 852-8617. Then they gave me a second one and the man with the third party said they had nothing to do with giving me my credit and that AT&T donated it.
Here’s the number (888) 445-6005 I called them. They told me they couldn’t do it and that it was AT&T’s responsibility. I called AT&T again. They still don’t believe that the promotion is happening and that I am lying. I give them invoice numbers and everything proving that they have my phone. They still say that they can’t do anything. So they rip me off, took my phone, and now I am out of my credit. I’ve been on the phone for hours with no resolve. Beware! Do not trade in your phone to these scammers! They will take what you have and give you nothing in return. Also customer service is of no help whatsoever. AT&T does not value its customers and is not a good company.

After 3 times and over a month later they approved us for the switch over program and we were to receive 2 gift cards with a few hundred dollars to pay off our Verizon bill which is going into collections now since we haven't paid it. It is now October 23rd and still no gift cards so I called again and after being transferred to many departments I found out one number was not approved yet.

I made the mistake of using AT&T for wireless, AT&T U-verse for home phone and internet and DirecTV for cable. They offered to pay any early termination fee, they never did even after months on the phone with them. We were promised a low rate for all of our services but that only lasted 3 months or so. We were paying over $600/month for the service. Our internet speeds continually slowed down also. We were supposed to have 45M but slowed to 25 over time. We have since canceled everything but the internet.
We got a bill for prorated charges and charge a early termination fee for a Samsung watch that we asked multiple times if there was one.

I have been with AT&T for almost 12 years and their service has gotten worse by the month. Customer service seemingly ok but AT&T lets a computer system run their business which makes us customers nothing but a number. Those who endured Harvey had only minor relief from AT&T such as no overages. Also AT&T do not believe in forgiveness on bill pay. If you owe AT&T and do not have the funds to pay your bill you better be ready to be cut off. The only decent thing AT&T has going for them is a couple of apps if AT&T is heading downhill fast. If you are thinking of moving providers I strongly advise you to look around AT&T. They are very high and their service is horrible and you will add to their collection of numbers not customers. To sum it up AT&T only cares about one thing the bottom line their money not customer service.

I've been an AT&T customer for the past 7+ years. I have enjoyed their reception and service and thought the company was pretty good. However, recently, the plans have just been getting way too expensive. I had started off on a 3 family line plan for ~$120, then it went up to ~$150, then added a 4th line and it went up to ~$200, then slowly went to $220 and one month, it was as high as $300+... Anyway, I decided to switch to T-Mobile because I read that their reception was comparable to AT&T for a fraction of the cost ($160 for 4 lines including all fees vs ~$220).
So, I call AT&T to cancel the service and the guy did it for me, no questions asked, which I thought was very peculiar. Generally carriers or companies will ask you why you want to cancel and try to keep you as a customer, but nope, in this case, just canceled my plan with no questions. I had thought to ask about prorate then, but I thought, "Nah, they must prorate cause they prorated me for every service UPGRADE I've had in the past."
Anyway, I check my bill, and I see that I had another full bill coming in. Obviously, I was a bit surprised by this so I called in to ask. The rep on the phone was completely unhelpful and said he didn't know what's going on with my bill, but he could transfer me to the cancellation department. So, I did that. The lady there was not of much help either. She continually told me that the bill is advanced and that I would have to pay for a full month of charges, even though I only used the service for about 10 days that month. I was shocked! Wait, so you're telling me that when I upgrade services, I pay a heavy prorate, but when I cancel, I have to pay the WHOLE thing?? Give me a break here! Well, apparently it's in the fine print when you initially sign the contract.
Okay fine, so it's in the contract. Give me some type of break here! Shouldn't the rep who canceled my service have mentioned something like this? It's like, before you do anything which could have negative repercussions, people typically warn you if they're knowledgeable about it, right? I mean, that's called good customer service and looking out for your customers, but no, not in this case! So, despite the fact that I've been a loyal customer for the past 7+ years and have given them 10's of thousands in revenue and never missed a payment, despite the fact that the rep didn't tell me about this, and despite the fact that I've been charged before for prorates, they want to nickel and dime me for this last hundred some dollars!
Yes, it does sound like I'm complaining a lot, and I am. But honestly, the way this company has handled this situation just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I'll still give them 2 stars because their phone service and data service is still pretty good, but otherwise, screw AT&T and I hope people stop using them in the future!

I know for a 100% fact the screen was never shattered when I sent this in. Now AT&T is charging my account $600 for this refurbished phone they are making me keep and can do nothing else for me.

Store agents should have known that plan no longer has hotspot. Going into AT&T Store, they cannot drop a line or service from your account. We have to call customer support and you wait for 30 minutes and when you request a manager - they indicate he/she will call back but never received a call. UVerse TV was at 50 and now at 120.

However AT&T never showed up, did not call, email me or anything. About 2 days later I called them to see what was going on. The guy said, "I'm sorry but no tech was available" and gave me a new appointment which was a week and a few days away.

I let her know the issue. She puts me on hold for another 10 minutes, comes back and tells me that I have to reschedule because they had no tech available and give me another date 4 days away.
I explained to her that I took off of work for the appointment that the guy scheduled and I was not going to take off again. She tells me, "But I'm sorry I can't do anything about that" and transfer me to someone else. Once I was transferred I explained to the other lady the same situation and once again she's telling me she can't do nothing and that the only opening they have was for the four days away. I asked her why did the guy schedule an appointment for installation if there was no tech available to come out for that day and they still went back and forth saying they sorry, I apologize and everything which none of that made a difference, my issues just went handled and it seemed like none of them knew what they was doing.
They are quick to take your money out of your account (2 minutes) however why does it takes them 2 weeks or more to come and install your service and why does it take all these problems and issues for you to have something that you already paid for. I believe AT&T is very unprofessional and I would not recommend it to anyone. I eventually ended up asking for a refund. All they can say was I apologize but that's not the point. It's just that if they could take our money and want us as a customer and we shouldn't have to be going through all this bull crap to get proper service and we shouldn't have to be sitting in our house waiting and we get no call, no email, no warning at all. They just don't show up. That's not right at all for no business. AT&T I do not recommend it and anybody that read this review please think twice before you jump into anything with them.

My wife has been overpaying her ATT bill since January unknowingly as she was being overcharged, as the mistake being by ATT. She has overpaid $335 since January as she was put on a multi-line plan for one-line. When I contacted ATT about this issue before our honeymoon in early September, I was guaranteed that it would be refunded/credited to her account.
After being out of the country for three weeks and not contacted at all, NOTHING has been done. I then spoke to a woman named Queen who had put through the credit request again quoting, "You are owed back this money, this was a mistake on our part." It has been one week and I'm back and forth on the phone for the third time and my third hour taken out of my day over the poor customer service and loyalty of ATT. My wife and I whom both have ATT currently will be leaving them for their poor communication, customer service, and lies.

I just signed up with AT&T because that is the only company we can use at my apartment complex. We had to pay $150 just to turn the internet on. Then after a week I had an issue with the landline and it's taken over 2 hours just to get them to recognize the problem and send someone here to take care of it, then on top of that they want to charge me 150 AGAIN to fix their problem. Do not do business with AT&T, absolutely horrible.

My sister and I went to London and we called in weeks before we left to have the international data day pass and after looking over our bill it was NEVER applied. We were told that once we make a call it's automatically activated at $10 a day, but after calculating $365 in OVERAGES, something tells me it NEVER happened. I made 3 phone calls. THREE. Even still it's supposed to be $10 a day!!!
I'm SO unhappy with AT&T right now. After 12 YEARS, all I get is a "SORRY" and then they offer up other folks to call the following day and that they can't see any notes on that particular subject, so they can't help. We've had ONE issue like this before a couple of years back and we were billed $600 OVER! It was resolved and even after that massive screw-up we stayed and here we are again... ANOTHER "accident" that I have to waste MY time and keep calling back. I'm SO upset and HIGHLY disappointed as an AT&T consumer. Just saddened and felt taken advantage of.

I was an AT&T customer with 2 mobile lines and 2 watch lines. I moved to Verizon in May 2017, Verizon took care of cancelling the phone lines, I was told to contact AT&T directly to cancel the watch lines which I did in June 2017. This is October and AT&T continues to bill me for the watch lines. When I tell them I cancelled in June and then contacted them again in August to cancel the watch lines, they don't see it in their "notes" that I cancelled. AT&T continues to call me a liar and want me to pay for the billing periods past June 2017.
They are crooks and no matter who you talk to it's the same line, "It's not in our notes that you called to cancel." That is their fault that they have incompetent agents and didn't record my cancel request, however I'm expected to pay for their mistakes. They refuse to reimburse me for their mistake and expect me to pay for their mistakes.

When I brought my wife over to AT&T from Verizon, we signed up for a promotion that promised to pay her early cancellation fees. After several months spending time talking to representatives on the phone we received a request-denied letter. Nobody could explain why - we continued to receive the response "we will look into it. We will reprocess your request". The transaction ended up costing us a lot of money. Eventually we canceled our service for our cell phones thinking we had ended our contract. We weren't notified and were unaware that our tablet had not been canceled, until months later - we get a bill for $150 for the 0.01 gigs of data that we had used over the last 3 months.
Not only did AT&T not deliver on the promises made, they overcharged us (we are paying 15% less with Verizon now) - for service that was unacceptable (I failed to receive adequate service in my own home, in the middle of a big city). When I asked a representative about the poor service, I was told that I could spend several hundred dollars on a device that would boost my service in my house so that calls would not be dropped. After being a loyal customer for many years I feel extremely disappointed, ripped off, taken advantage by AT&T. Save yourself the hassle of poor service, terrible communication, and an unwillingness to help fix a situation by never signing up with this company. It's not worth it.

Somehow while changing their website they lost my request for service while in Portugal. Very sad and costly. Said they sent text messages... cryptic and unclear plus every time we travel to Europe we add the international plan and they have record of it. Looking for a new plan. Many are better and less expensive.

Paid 140 the first day. The next day (within 24 hours) I said I did not want the SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 as it had a crack and heated up - I was afraid it would start a fire. Also a second phone was supposed to be buy one get one free - Never saw a credit as promised. They lied about that and the so called 150 a month. Furthermore I got a whopping $300 dollar bill within 20 days of paying $140 or so. I cannot budget this, and it is dishonest on their part. When I returned to the store with both phones a week later they refused to take the phone with a crack. Both phones heat up excessively. Also the manager of the store on Chippewa store in St. Louis told me there is no implied warranty of merchantability for their products.
They refused three times to take back the phone, and wanted to charge me a 40.00 restocking fee. Keep in mind I made the original complaint 24 hours after I got the phones. They wanted me to make an insurance claim. As a good Joe I tried that and they wanted a mere 255.00 fee for their so called insurance plan. When I mentioned making a Consumer Affairs complaint they said I had to leave the store, and I gladly did so. Next stop Consumer Affairs of Missouri. You have been warned. You will thank me later. Do not buy from AT and T.

It took four years for me to bundle my DirecTV/AT&T. However the so called savings are total fabrication. I spend almost every month disputing the bill. They put me on an extended hold for over 45 minutes (I have photo's and recordings). If your service isn't brought current any promotional agreement is not credited so I was billed $278 × 2. It was advised if I de-bundle the acct my internet and landline go back to the regular price. I wish I had read reviews before becoming a customer to this EXTORTION!!!

This company is one of the worse ones I have to deal with. On several occasions and phone calls. We wanted to quit this incompetent AT&T. In the beginning of the year we thinking of quitting of the year. I was directed to the loyalty department. I spoke to one of their agents. We had signed a contract in 2015 for two years. After talking to the agent we were told if I wanted to quit if there was going to be any early termination fees. The agent told me that they would change our contract we had the same billing for the duration.
Time went on, things were becoming more frustrating. I wanted to upgrade my phone. Was told one thing and then another told me something else. Bottom line we were told by a supervisor that we were no longer in contract and there were not supposed to be any early termination fees. We paid our phones off. Then I just went online to look at our final bill and was still showing that there was a charge for 95.00 for early termination fees. I called was directed to their loyalty department again today on the 2 Oct 2017. I spoke with Angelyca **. We argued about what I was promised by other agents and that she could not fix my problem. I paid the 107.00 which I believe I should of. I am also filing a complaint to the BBB as well.

This is the worst customer service experience I have had. I spent one day going from one store to other without my issue being resolved. Let me tell you how. I wanted to change my account from prepaid to postpaid and make a family plan. At 11 am I went to an AT&T retail store. They said it was possible and that I should go to AT&T corporate store. I could get an appointment at 2 pm in that store, so I had to wait for two hours. Then the customer service representative said that "Your social security number is 'work only' so we can't help you but call 611." At 3 pm I call 611 and the lady talks for one hour and tell me that she can't give me any details and she is sorry, but she can book an appointment in another store and that they don't need social security number but deposit.
I booked another appointment at 5:30 at this other store. The representative told me that he needs the hard copy of SSN which I did not have at the time. I came home at 8 pm without my issue being solved. The problem here is that none of these people gave the right requirements. Please train them well. My time IS important, respect my time. Also, I am paying you to do this. It is not free service.

AT&T has literally been stealing my money. They changed my bill every month. Me and my wife spent an hour a month on the phone with them and they never have an explanation of why our bill changes. We're also supposed to be in a contract. Today I spent 45 minutes on the phone with them and they literally told me their system was down in the end giving me no explanation and wasting 45 minutes of my day as my family dinner. I wonder if they'll even call me back because I've had a manager say he will before I never did it was even got it in their notes, I made sure to call record this. I also let them know this whole conversation was recorded. They are literally stealing people's money with no explanation. If I did this I would be in jail.
