We've been with AT&T for a couple of years, during which we had a few issues. They tried to bill us extra months of "International calling" when went overseas. They would have issues on their end with autopay, then charge a late payment fee to the customer. But if all that seemed bad enough to make us want to leave (it did and we did), it was even more fun getting out of AT&T. First, they could not figure out how to unlock my daughter's flip phone. A simple, dumb-as-a-rock flip phone. And I had to contact them online, then go to a store, then contact them online AGAIN, then go to a store at which the customer service agent contacted their techie HQ.
This was multiple days after I started getting our phones unlocked, to get to a different carrier. As soon as I was done at the AT&T store, I went down the road to their competition, got set up, and all was good. EXCEPT, that in the intervening days when they were too thick to figure out how to unlock a flip phone, a new billing cycle started. I was told that I had to pay the full month for the new billing cycle, even though I was only on AT&T for 3 days of the cycle. And even though I was only on AT&T for 3 days because they couldn't figure out how to unlock a damn flip phone so we could port the number with us.
Their customer service is rubbish - in store, they will claim that they cannot do a lot of the billing stuff. Online, they direct you to "chat" and make it near impossible to talk to a person on the phone. Their Customer Service handbook appears to consist of "offer empty useless empathy to the client, while telling them that you cannot change the situation because the fine print..." Seriously, folks - this is one of those companies that makes you sign away the rights to legal representation in lieu of "corporate arbitration" when you sign a contract. That should be all you need to know. They're aware that they hose you over, and count on you either not finding out, or running out of energy to fight it.

Two weeks ago I went to an AT&T store to purchase two new phones. Of course I updated my data plan and was told what my charges would be. I was told that my first bill would be a little higher since there was two activation fees, that in total the first bill would around $250 and then around $175 after that. Imagine my surprise when I receive my first bill today for $376. Wondering what in the world went wrong I tried to contact AT&T and got no answers. They really don't care about you. They just want your money. I've been a customer for the last 6 years but as soon as I'm able to I will never return to them in any way shape or form.

After 4 scheduled appointments each of which were rescheduled or no shows by the installers. I Called customer service regarding our concerns and our desire to cancel however they talked us into staying for our fourth installation. Still no show rescheduled for Monday. Had this service for two weeks and internet crashed for last six weeks. We have been without internet service for six weeks now and their installers are still flaking and not showing up. At this time we are so fed up! Worst service ever!!! Not to mention all the time and effort we have spent taking time off work for these installs that are no shows... Not acceptable!!! President of AT&T needs to know what their installers in the field are putting us through! Plus not to mention billing is all screwed up on bundle package!

Is AT&T profiting from natural disasters by cheating and playing with the necessity, trust and good faith of its customers? Read this: During Irma Hurricane AT&T sent a message to me and I guess to millions of other customers in Florida expressing solidarity and offering "no charge over excess data use..." At that time I called AT&T several times for clarification, given that the forced peak data consumption during the hurricane period would obviously increase the total consumption in the respective invoicing cycle. Their response, repeatedly, was: "excess will not be charged". But now, after the fact, they just sent me a message informing about a $15 overcharge for each GB in excess over my plan for the invoice cycle that included Irma Hurricane period. This is a wrong/unacceptable commercial behavior that destroys credibility in AT&T and qualifies its supposed solidarity claim as false, misleading and opportunistic!!!

I've purchased a completely unlocked iPhone (for full price). Also purchased and Used AT&T Go-Phone pre-paid SIM card and Plan. Here is when AT&T had 'Locked' my phone. A month later, when I tried to use the phone on an international trip, was unable to use the phone because it is 'Locked' (It is purchased as unlocked phone for full price and I would expect it to use it with any sim). Contacted AT&T, first 2 calls they said they only lock AT&T Device, since this is not AT&T Device they don't lock. Called Apple support, they clearly said it's locked by AT&T. Called AT&T again, they said no it's not. Called Apple Again, Apple support guy was kind enough to contact AT&T himself and confirmed that Yes it's locked by AT&T. Contacted AT&T again, now they confirmed that it's locked and it's locked as soon as you put the AT&T SIM (For whatever reason/excuse they had).
Had requested, pleaded, begged to unlock my phone (My phone which I bought paying full price) as I want to use the device, they had this standard answer 'cannot unlock before 6 months' - but this is not AT&T Device:(, it's like a Ransom situation. Even offered that if they lock because I need to be with AT&T for atleast 6 months, I'm willing to pay the amount needed to keep the account active upfront, but want the device 'unlocked' badly because I need to use it. No luck, no mercy.
What kind of business is this? And what is the acceptable reason AT&T can give to 'Lock' my device? (Other than the 'Standard - it's our policy'). Note: Read through the fine print of the Go-Phone policy, nowhere it mentioned that AT&T will 'Lock' the phone and can only unlock after 6 months. When you go through the unlock request link, there is a unlock policy, where there is a tiny line that says account got to be active for a minimum of 6 months. Fine AT&T you win; But never again in my life I'll buy anything AT&T. Trying to see if I can Sue, without spending a lot (Maybe arbitration).

It's been going on for a year now. Every month I call them and they tell me they are gonna set up a plan for me for 25$ per line but it never happens. I look at the bill I get charged 250$ per line. I have a really small pizza business. Only using three line and they are charging me 900$ for just three phone lines. That's really disgusting. I try to talk to the supervisor but they never transfer me to them. It's a great company to rip off people. Take my advice do not take your services from AT&T. They will rip you off.

I am SO fed up with AT&T and DirecTV. They tell you one thing but fail to mention any stipulations. I originally signed up for DirecTV because of the great promotions. I was told one thing but billed something else. I constantly was calling them to get my bill lowered. After about the 10th time calling, I cancelled. Shortly after, DirecTV Now came out with locked in rates, I decided to try it out. So we are on DirecTV Now, which I really don't have any complaints, it has been great. 4 months ago I upgraded our phone service to the unlimited choice plan to receive a $10 credit/month on our phone bill and a $25 credit/month on our DirecTV Now bill. I chatted online with an agent to confirm we were eligible for the credits, which we were told yes. So I upgraded.
3 months go by, and we haven't seen a $25 credit on our DirecTV Bill. So I chatted with another agent and she ASSURED me that we would receive it on our upcoming bill. I have the transcripts from both of these agents. Once again, I'm billed the full amount. I get back on the chat and speak with another agent and am told I won't receive the credit because of my current plan and they can issue me a courtesy one time $25 credit on my next AT&T bill. Ummm... This is not okay. I wasted so much time talking with these agents and agreed upon something I would never receive.
I read the fine print and couldn't find where my plan wasn't included in the deal. It's not something I even thought of because the deal said, "Your DirecTV plan must be at least $35/month," which mine is. I am so fed up with AT&T up-selling promotions and not disclosing price increases or exclusions to the promotions. Either they are purposely hiding information to get more money out of you or they have extremely incompetent customer service reps that don't understand the services themselves. Either way, it's not okay. At the end of the day, it's $25 per month and I'm tired of fighting with them. It's purely the principle of the matter and they need to substantially improve their customer service and give FULL disclosure.

Worst experience I've ever had with any company. They lied about the monthly charges ($65 a month more than promised price). Told price was $110 a month. Was charged $175. Customer Service was no help. They said I would have to pay off 2 phones to get out of contract, even though it was buy 1 get 1 free. Total of $1500 owes to get out of contract. Overall terrible, so bad that I created a Consumer Affairs account to voice my displeasure. Avoid At&t at all costs.

Ok AT&T, why the does your company have ZERO accountability for holding up your side of a business agreement? We pay our bill every month and in return, expect to get what we pay for. What are we paying for? Cellular service that includes 25GB of 4G LTE data. What happens if we don't pay our bill? That's right, you terminate the contract/service. So why is it that you are not providing the service? Does that mean that anyone in my area having this issue (there are many. I have walked the entire neighborhood over a good 6 block radius and tested twice on every block with the same ridiculous result) can terminate our service to you, which, when roles are reversed, our service to you would be the payment.
Is .04 MBPS Download and .09 MBPS upload acceptable for your side of the contract as far as data speeds you provide your customers?!? Does the mark the spot app even do anything? I have never seen anything happen from any reports on this app. Get it together and have some accountability to provide the services that your customers are paying you for! I have contacted customer service many times in this and each and every time I was given a ticket/case number and told it would be looked into and resolved. Also they tell me I will be credited for the inconvenience of not being able to use my DirecTV now that they also convinced us to subscribe to. We get much better speeds very late at night from maybe midnight until about 6-7 am. That is the only time we can reliably watch any streaming service.
I did get a response at one time saying that there is nothing they can do because it's a geographical issue. I could buy that response if the slow speeds were consistent, but the fact that they increase to at least 11-12MBPS late at night puts a damper on that theory. I have made the suggestion many times that it is a traffic issue because this problem started when they had rolled out the DirecTV streaming service along with fullscreen and also no fees for data overages all around the same time. That of course increased data traffic, which in turn will decrease bandwidth. Also every time I would follow up on my ticket numbers I would be told its escalated to top priority and I'd hear back in 72 hours. I have yet to ever hear back.
We are caught in a dilemma because AT&T is the only carrier in our immediate area that has good phone coverage for many rural areas we frequently visit. I have medical problems and need to make sure I always or at least mostly have cellular service available. We do get decent enough phone service, but do have occasional dropped calls, but not a huge problem. Our ONLY web access is via cellular data as we do not use the web enough to justify paying for extra home internet service. There is no reason they cannot increase the bandwidth capability of the local tower to accommodate the increased traffic. I have never seen this to be a problem in metropolitan areas that I'm sure have A LOT more network traffic. I am not sure if this is something that the FTC can do anything about or if there could even be legal implications for the company's actions, or lack thereof.
There are no actual two-year contracts with them anymore, but my thought is anytime someone is paying for a service, in itself, that is a legally binding contract that needs to be upheld by both parties. I truly hope this review gets seen by the right people and something will actually happen. I am in Northeastern MN. I will not disclose the exact location due to obvious reasons.
The attached images are screen captures of speed tests. The first one is the slow speed at my home, inside and outside is the same. The second image is the speeds I got while recently up in Lake of the Woods County in no man's land and minutes before actually had no signal. Then signal came back in. It's a sketchy signal area where it's in and out, but even with the sketchy signal due to the geography, I still got EXCELLENT data speeds. I wanted to share that as an example to show how geography will affect signal strength but not data speed. Thank you for your time in reading my rant of a review. Have a great day.

HORRIBLE!!! AT&T system made a huge mistake when I was paying on the bill. Charge me monies that wasn't suppose to be taken out of my bank acct. Because of their blunder. Talked to about 5 people because I had to keep calling back to make sure corrections were made. But each time talking to customer rep. a different answer. The last person (worked in finance dept.) said 3 to 5 days before my money get into my account. He told me to calm down and let him talk, but he too was over talking me when I was asking questions. I am completely done with AT&T.

I was a Verizon customer for 4 years and their service began to drop all the time in my area, so on 7/27/17 I spoke with an AT&T rep through their online chat to find out what kind of deals they had going on. The rep told me that AT&T would pay up to $650 in cancellation fees per line if I switched (I had 2 lines with Verizon), and that I would get 2 free LG G5 phones (these were older phones at this point, as the G6 was already out). The rep was the one who actually brought up the free phones to me, not the other way around. A couple days later, I get the phones, and have nothing but problems activating them, but finally succeed. I sign up for automatic payments on their site and think all is well.
I get my first bill a month later and pay little attention to it because I'm signed up for automatic payments and I expect the bill to be higher since it's the first one. A couple weeks later I check the AT&T app and notice there's a past due balance on my account, so I login to see if there are any late fees, and instead I find that I'm actually being charged $23/month per phone (phones are priced at over $600 each). I begin contacting AT&T through their chat and their phone customer support and get passed around over and over again with them telling me they can't remove the charges and that's just what the contract is for, despite what the sales rep told me on 7/27/17. I tell them I have the chat transcript of the initial conversation and they tell me that if I fax it in as proof, then they will have no choice but to honor his promise.
I never hear back, so I call and follow up again and get told to go into a store to rectify it because they can't over the phone, despite the last rep telling me to fax it in. I get told there's no record of me calling or faxing anything in. I go to the store, the manager calls AT&T and files the incident, giving me an incident number and telling me someone will call me the following morning. I never receive a call, so I start calling and chatting with AT&T again. Again I'm given the runaround and eventually given a case number from AT&T.
The next day I get a text from AT&T saying my case could not be completed. I call again to follow up, and they say "despite the account being set up under false pretenses, I'm still responsible for paying all charges for the phones". I ask about cancellation of the account and they tell me that if I cancel, I will still owe the full balance for both phones, as well as forfeiting the cancellation fee reimbursement for switching from Verizon ($400, which takes at least 6 weeks to receive), totaling $1,600, not including the bill.
The real kicker in all of this... AT&T has worse service in my area, and I even had the initial sales rep check several areas around me for coverage. So now, I've got no phone service on 2 phones that I'm paying a ton of money for, and cannot get anybody to fix this on their end. Do not even consider becoming an AT&T customer, ever. I have the proof to back up my claims and they won't even consider my complaint. I've attached pictures from the actual chat transcript just so people reading this can verify the legitimacy of my claims.

I have been with AT&T for more than 7 years. June of 2017 I called to cancel my U-verse, TV and internet. As of today September 27th 2017, I am still being billed for the service. I have called every few weeks and I keep getting the same answer, excuses, and promises that the issue will be handled. When I attempted to handle this issue the last attempt, my entire wireless account was canceled so I had no way of communicating with my husband or parents which are on my wireless plan. The rep who closed my account transferred me until I was connected to the ISM department in which I was told that my service would be restored in an hour.
Once an hour had passed, I went to the AT&T store because I had no other way of making phone calls. They could not help me with my account and had me to call AT&T from store. I spent 3 hours at the AT&T store on the phone in which I was transferred to 8 different representatives and still came out with no resolve. The next day I spent an hour on the phone being transferred to 4 departments because no one can help me with my account again. They ask for a contact number which is my wireless number in which is off. I am seriously done with AT&T and wish not to deal with this company at all. I pay too much money for bad service. I plan to switch all of my services once this is resolved. If I could give this company negatives, I would.

I have 9 lines on my AT&T account. Have teenagers who lose/break their phones. Have had insurance on all lines for years. Lost a phone, called today to file a claim and was told a customer service rep "accidentally" cancelled my insurance and none of our phones are insured. The solution: pay off the lost phone and upgrade to a new phone and purchase insurance then. How convenient that they accidentally cancelled my insurance with a new iPhone coming out soon and that was the solution. Get the new iPhone.

Update I finally made it back into a Corporate Store and the issue was resolved in a timely manner. This rep was much more knowledgeable and I got my phone and the plan I wanted and number ported
Original Review: Sept. 25, 2017
I was initially porting a number from T-Mobile to ATT through an online order I placed… Huge huge mistake. I ended up having to cancel the order because no one could understand why the order was still showing pending! I was contacted by ATT regarding why I cancelled the order. I explained no one had any information on the device, whether my number port was accepted. I was explained that a rep advised me simply that people ordering online were having issues and to just go to the store. I went to the store and then I was told that another credit check would have to be run. At the store I was told I had an old DirecTV bill from 2009. Ok no problem I get home contact ATT/DirecTV and completely pay off a $188.00 balance. ATT calls their DirecTV unit to verify I paid the bill and everything worked out fine.
I place a new order over the phone, they run yet another credit check and tell me that I'm approved to put no money down on a phone and that I would just have to pay the sales tax on the phone and monthly installments will be added to my wireless bills. Ok cool we place the order, I pay the sales tax. I get an email from ATT advising me to sign the terms and conditions. I complete that and I received another message to look out for an email when my device would be shipped... Ok cool... I'm assuming everything is fine... I get an email this morning stating my order was cancelled due to me not signing the terms and conditions... I call ATT and they tell me to go to a corporate store, I asked them what I was going to the store for and they advised so that someone can further assist you... I get to the store see a rep and told them that I was sent here showed her the cancelled order email and she tells me to call customer service...
There's a lot more to the story folks... but the customer service is horrible!!! Much like other reviews on here. I feel this "The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing"... Save your time and money folks. Every time I speak to anyone at ATT the story changes every time... From basic information that should be provided to the consumer... From the very beginning... I more than did my part as a customer and I wasted all the time that I'm going to waste driving back and forth and being on the phone for what seems like eternity to people that have no idea why anything thing is the way it is.

I have had AT&T for a while now. Everything was good for the most part. Recently one of my phones broke and it was not exterior damage. The phone would not do anything when you clicked the icons with your finger so the screen was not responsive. I sent it out and it got sent back with a huge crack in the screen and a note saying that it was not covered under warranty.
I would never ever send my phone out if the screen was cracked knowing that I could have got it fixed at the mall for $100.00. I know that a cracked screen is not covered under warranty. I would never ever pay 600.00 for a phone that I did not need. When I sent the phone out there was no damage to the screen at all. It was in great condition. The only problem was the screen was not responsive.
AT&T now wants me to pay $600.00 for the phone. I am so pissed off and upset because my bill is always paid on time, I am never a problem. I needed them to do one thing and now they are telling me that I am responsible for a crack. I have been on the phone with AT&T about 5 times this week and I am completely stressed out. I am researching other companies to see if there is better phone carriers out there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I downgraded my service on AT&T on September 5, 2017 and AT&T upgraded my service instead. When I looked at my bill they charged me an extra 142.00 dollars. When I called them my service should have been dated September 21st, instead of doing the right thing and taking the added charges off my bill they sent me to two different supervisors who said they would call me back, they never did. My third call to customer service, the same day, the rep told me she would have the supervisor call back ASAP, needless to say no call back as well. I have been with AT&T for 12 years!!

The gentleman I spoke with was very polite and tried to be helpful. However, he kept telling me that he didn't know anything about iPhones. He said over and over again, "Just bear with me." He would read aloud to himself from some manual. Finally, I just gave up and told him that if I hurried I could make it to the AT&T store before they closed. I did, and they helped me as much as possible. They sent me home, but then I went back this morning. It is now working, but not with the same configuration as before. Currently I am not satisfied.

Most horrible ever of any carriers or service I have experienced. People are neither competent at AT&T nor do they have any training on how to talk to people. I recently tried to add a line but they were making it sound like they are doing me a favor. Just to add a line, it took me more than 5 hours in total including the hold time. (Of course, they are all trained to say things like "I apologize, or thanks for being a loyal customer", these words don't mean anything if they are just repeating it like a parrot). First, they switched me to another system, and then went through the whole process a few times and finally, after a few hours, they told me either to wait for the SIM card by mail or go to a store to pick up one.
When I called the store, they told me it costs additional $5.5 for the SIM card and may be additional charge to activate the line from the store. Anyway, I went to pick up the SIM card at the store and called AT&T to activate. The service rep says there is no record of any of my past 3.5 hours of setting up this new line and I have to start all over again and she can help. When I explained to her that I already did all this paperwork etc. she just hung up on me. At the store, some of the floor reps were full of attitudes and made me feel like they were doing me a favor. After calling many times and talking to a dozen or so reps, I realized that this company is going down the tube. They have not real customer-centric service here. This is just to add a line which would be an additional business for AT&T! Just imagine how they would treat you if you need real help!
I have been with AT&T for more than 20 years and this is the worst I have experienced at any place. By nature, I don't like switching carriers or changing features to my service so I never had to experience this before. Also, I rarely write reviews and this experience was so bad that I had to write it and warn others not to switch to AT&T unless they are really desperate and think that their own carriers are even worse. My wife is planning to find Verizon or T-M and switch. Not sure if it would be better. I hope we are not chasing those few carriers who are racing to the bottom.

My business internet and phone service was unreliable. My internet was down several times each week and often my phone service was lost when they tried to fix the internet. I lost many dollars in sales and often was unable to "batch-out" my credit card sales because I had no service. I spent an unbelievable amount of hours on the phone trying to straighten this out because many times they claimed to have no record of my previous calls. I tried hard to make this work for 9 months and finally switched to another provider. AT&T charged me an EARLY TERMINATION FEE of $399.00 even though they never provided reasonably reliable service during the course of my contract.

When I bought my phone, I received a free tablet and I thought, "Wow this is a good deal!" Well, it was not! The sale rep neglected to mention that if I pay off my phone early, the tablet was not eligible to be unlock unless I pay off the remainder balance of the tablet, because the tablet was under a separate contract. Beware of accepting any free gifts from AT&T because it's going to cost you and is not FREE like the advertisement said. The sales rep are so happy to make a sale that forget to mention the fine print to the customer.

AT&T I love my iPhone 6 Plus but was having issues with it. Wouldn’t hold a charge, Windows would flip/flop and open, Half a window would be visible, Windows had tremors, 2/3 of contacts disappeared. I took it to AT&T store on Sept 8 to be repaired. Salesman told me that issues couldn’t be repaired and that I needed a new phone. I told him I was on a fixed income, he said that the issues would be resolved with a new phone. Asked if I could replace it with a iPhone 6 Plus… He said AT&T was phasing them out. I had to have the 7 phone, he said. I told him I had insurance on the phone and he said that insurance wouldn’t work on that issue, that I needed a new phone. He signed me up for Dish TV with a recurring monthly charge. I did not know or agree to any of that.
When I realized that the new phone had the same issues as the old one, I texted the rep and told him that I was bringing everything back and wanted my old phone back. He said that the phone had been erased and mailed. I sent the text on Sept. 9. I took everything back to them on Sept 12 after I spoke to a AT&T rep on Sept. 10 (Eric) who recommended that I take everything back and speak with the manager, which I did. He said that under their “buyer’s remorse” program, I had 14 days to return everything and that AT&T would try to get my old phone back. I did what I was told and here’s the outcome.
Manager said that it was too late to get my old phone back. Charged me (see return invoice). I left with my sim card… AT&T has my old phone, my trade-in credit, their new phone and everything that came in the bundle (Samsung tablet), restocking fee and other charges, and I have a sim card... That doesn’t sound like a trade. I took my phone in to have it repaired, and I end up with a sim card. I will happily accept a refurbished 6 Plus… but this is not a fair outcome. Help! Sales agents and customer service are scammers!!! CS rep said the only thing I could do was upgrade.

I have been an AT&T Wireless customer for more than 3 years. I first started home service in 2015 March. My boyfriend's setup home phone & internet service with a rep that was promoting AT&T in our area, he was told that internet alone was $59.00 but we could get home phone & internet for that same price. When installation was done the AT&T Tech set it up then come in and told me that he could set up speed 18 because we were too far from the hub but we would get 12 speed & the promotion would still be applied. The tech & I called in to customer service & they told me I would get a call within 2 weeks. I never received a call & when we got our first bill it was $100 over what it was supposed to be plus the phone never worked. Every month I called in to have the bill fixed & would stay on the phone hours. When the service was coming up to end contract I called in the end service.
I spoke to a rep who sent me to a supervisor who tried talking me into getting TV & internet for $99 a month & -$10 off because we have cell phones, 3 months movie channels free, $200 rewards card. I never got! I set up my service last week of July & was told when DirecTV come out to call AT&T to have my bill bundled. I did call in but AT&T said they had an error bundling the bill so they would adjust my bill and they would put in a ticket for it to be fixed. When 2nd bill come in it was extremely high & I called in to find out why my promotion had not been applied. Rep said that the bills were finally bundled & that rep adjusted my bill & said they would have it fixed, this happened every month I would call in & AT&T would adjust my bill and push me off till next month.
I then started having problems with my internet being slow & when checking my online app notice my internet had been cut down to 6 speed & no one was Applying my promotion. I was then promised an additional 6 months of movie channels free. In January the rep done something to my bill & took off half my movie channels & told me that next month I would only have to call in to get the other half of my movie channels taking off this was January 2016. In February a rep said my service was completely wrong & changed everything again but this time they gave me the month free & sent a new router out. My bill or the promotion was never fixed. June I called in because I got a bill from DirecTV & a bill from AT&T. I called in and was told my bill unbundled. The first rep said they didn't know why and the second rep said for unpaid service. Now I have a bill from DirecTV for $351 & a bill from AT&T for $343 and no one can seem to help me fix anything.

I have had AT&T home wireless for over two years. The wireless module stopped operating in August 2017. I verified the equipment was inoperable with AT&T repair. AT&T repair advised exchanging the module at an AT&T store. They said there would be no charge. I did this. We just received our phone bill and there was an item called "upgrade fee" in the amount of $45.00. I called to dispute the charge because I paid an upgrade fee when I signed up for this a few years ago.
Phoning AT&T and speaking to service rep and then service supervisor, I was told I had to pay this "upgrade fee" because AT&T subsidizes this piece of equipment. The original piece of equipment was only guaranteed for two years. I explained that this didn't seem very fair was I was basically told "too bad" pay or get another phone company. I am retired and cannot get another company. So please advise ANYONE who opts for AT&T home wireless to be careful of what they sign.

I've been a loyal customer of AT&T for about 18 years. First I want to start with the fact that we now have to pay the full price of their overpriced phones whereas before they were subsidized. December of 2016 my LG G4 phone screen started to fizzle out for no apparent reason. I had the phone for 2 years so I figured I'd just upgrade to the LG V10. Again I had to make payments on the phone along with the monthly bill. Well 9 months after I bought the V10 the phone froze and wouldn't work. Never dropped either phone or exposed them to water.
I went to the nearest AT&T store in Vista, CA and told them my problem. The agent said he could give it a hard reboot. I said ok. The reboot didn't work. Next he led me to a landline and told me to talk to an agent on the phone. She said, "No problem we'll ship a refurbished phone out to you." I wasn't a fan of getting a refurbished phone to replace the one I'm still paying for. Reluctantly I agreed and she said you can get standard delivery or pay $14.95 to get it in 2 days.
She said as fast as they're sending them out I should get it pretty quick. So I went with the standard delivery. She said, "Look for an email being sent to you to confirm the warranty exchange." I looked for it that day and all the next day. So I called customer service to see what's going on. The agent said I needed to get on a website to confirm the warranty exchange. So I did all that. Then it said to expect the phone on September the 14th. I wasn't thrilled with that since my phone quit working on September 4. So the company they are using for their deliveries is called DHL.
Also it was hard for me to get on their website for some reason. I kept getting re-directed. But when I finally got on their site I noticed it said delivery date September 16th. Of course prolonging this ordeal of not having a phone that I'm still currently paying the service and finance for. For some reason as when I track the phone on the DHL website wherever it goes it seems to sit for 2-3 days. It did that in Texas and now in California. It almost seems intentional because I didn't pay the $14.95 to expedite the delivery. Any phone I've had in the past not work it was usually replaced the next day or on a rare occasion within 48 hours. This is just wrong.
The amount of money I've paid AT&T over the years and the loyalty I've given them and the amount of money they charge for the phones and the service I would expect better service than this. What they've done is lowered their standards of customer service while increasing the price. Today is the 13th and I'm still waiting for my phone. I am a very unhappy customer now and I will be looking at other carriers for future business.

I have been a long time customer with AT&T. Many years. We have everything with them - cell phones, internet, TV, home phone. Recently I was notified that a couple of promotions that they offered us were going to expire. This is normal. I usually have to call them every 6-12 months to check on my bill and see if they can lower my costs to help us out. In the past, they have been very helpful for the most part and worked with me to lower our bills. No more. I have been calling for 3 days now and always get passed to someone else who is supposed to be able to help me. Now if I want any discount that will help me, I have to sign a contract either for 12 or 24 months. I have not had a contract with AT&T for years and have stayed with them because they have always been able to do something for long-term, loyal customers that always pay their bill on time. We are VERY disappointed with AT&T and how bad their customer service has become.
We are going to leave AT&T internet, TV, and home phone service. The person that I just got off the phone with 10 minutes ago helped seal that decision. For those of you that don't mind contracts and can put up the lower level of customer service, you should stay. I have been considering cutting the cord for cable TV and now I look forward to doing so. It is very sad to see a good company go bad. AT&T - if you are listening, and I hope you are, you have just lost a loyal customer. My current impression is that you don't care.

In my 62 years, AT&T has been the worst customer service experience I have had with any company. I switched to AT&T wireless in June 2017 and immediately set up auto pay. Following both of the first two payments, I received a letter from AT&T stating my bill had not been paid. I called AT&T and in both cases I was told my bill had been paid on time through auto pay and to ignore the letters. Next, I received a phone call from a collection agency followed by a letter from the same collection agency. Again, AT&T said my monthly bills were paid on time and ignore the collection agency. After talking with the collection agency, I think it is a legitimate company. They are going to send a dispute to AT&T and I will see what AT&T does.
In my experience, AT&T as a company represents the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. I have talked with multiple customer service representatives and have received different answers to the same question. In one call, you will talk with someone in Kentucky and in the next call you will talk with a person in another country who has poor English language skills. I think the company is so large and many of the employees poorly trained that you receive incorrect information. I have AT&T internet, U-Verse TV, and wireless. The one good thing I can say is that AT&T has good wireless coverage, but everything else, especially the customer service has been the worst I have experienced. I would recommend that you look elsewhere.

Originally signed up with at&t because Verizon doesn't have good signal where I was located for 5 months. AT&T did. But at&t couldn't guarantee me that my service would be as good in other parts of the state (SW Wyoming). I was assured that I had 14 days to check and make sure it was all good. However, the signal I had with at&t was so sporadic even going to Denver. I couldn't take the chance of "sporadic" or "good enough" signal in SW Wyoming. I cancelled my service with at&t within the 14 days and went back to Verizon. I called at&t and asked "Michael" at the call center if I could get my money back, he explained, "You CAN get 42.00 back since you didn't use it a full month and you're within the 14 days." Waited for a month and still no credit or check in the mail. I called at&t and asked the first rep where my refund was. Somehow I was disconnected.
I called back, talked to another rep, she said, that it'd been more than 72 hrs and there was nothing she could do. I asked her to let me speak with a supervisor, knowing that it wouldn't do me any good, but if I'm giving out $125.00 for nothing, I might as well get 24 minutes of time right?! Finally, supervisor gets on the line, she says the same thing, 72 hrs. I told her, "I wouldn't have 72 hours to go 300 miles just to check and make sure I'd have signal in SW Wyoming." I told her, "Why would Michael tell me that I would get 42 dollars and some change for service not used." She said, "I see here that he did submit it but it got declined because it'd been more than 3 days." (Looking for some sort of at least, empathy) I told her, after she was done trying to talk over me, "How would you feel if you gave someone 125.00 and was told less than 14 days later, huh." "Nothing I can do." No apology, no nothing! Basically, long story short? You know that fine fine print? Read it! Never will I do business nor recommend at&t for anything.

You repeat the process over and over and it takes hours to get to anyone who can help you. The same with trying to negotiate your plan prices or to speak with them about a credit, they have in the recent year not taken responsibility for crediting you when you have a service problem, as they did in years past. When you finally get to a supervisor to negotiate your prices they tell you that they can only do what the other employees have told you, you then have to go to the level of having a supervisor calling you. I have not ever had one of these supervisors contact me as they have said they will.
AT&T uses your time to fix their problems. You can count on being on the phone with them a minimum of 4 hours or longer for some of the simplest issues. We rarely have a dropped call. We have had calls where there was a loud crackling on the line and had to call again. We have had popping on our calls. We have begun to get solicitations on our cell phones, even though we are on the Do Not Call List. When we began 40 years ago our phone bills were never over $100.00. Our phone bills now are for cell phone use around $500.00 month, then we pay for a landline and fax another $130.00, and now U-verse Internet and TV at least another $250.00.

I asked them to escalate my complaint - no reply. This was a pure swindle - illegal bait and switch. I will never do business with them again as there seems to an extreme culture of dishonesty within the organization. I have been in the cable wars and have now retreated to a competitor.

Their representatives will each give you a different answer to the same question, very frustrating. I recently spent 2 hours on the phone setting up internet service and was disconnected. I went into my account and did chat and an additional 2 hand finally had a knowledgeable rep who set up what I needed. True it was a tricky setup but the first rep just wanted to move on and get it done not caring if it was correct or not. 4+ hours is over the top in trying to get service.

I started my morning with doing the ATT.com phone upgrade, my phone broke last night so I'll just use my upgrade that's been sitting there on my account. Had a flight to catch tonight so did the "In-store pickup" since my phone died the day before. Website could not do in store pick up because an error. I tried 4 different stores to see if that was the issue, did all the steps the online reps told me to do. No luck. Fine. No issue. Still got time to catch my flight.
ATT.com Online Agent tried to help me. She said and I quote "I'll take over and what phone would you like to upgrade". This was after I specifically stated I needed In-Store pickup because my flight is leaving. She spends 30min to order a phone and I still have no issues. I get she was padding her stats at the call center which is fine. Just a few more minutes. Once she got to the end (I'm assuming since she did not type a single word during the process) she asks for the shipping address. Not once asking me if I was fine with the terms and conditions, not showing me the contract, never sending any receipts to my email. Told her that will not work since the only reason I contacted her was to do the in-store shipping. She goes "Oops that's fine you can go to the store and I already processed it."
I drive to the next town over to pick up the phone. I walk in. Get told I do not have an order place and to check my email, I do not have a phone to check it and they did not help me with any of their computers to do my email. That's fine I'll drive back and its just one of those random things. I see nothing in my email, contact another agent on the website and get the runaround for another 2 hours because they are confused on what happen. By the way this all the first agent's doing and I have no idea whats happening with my account.
I then go to the nearest store to see if I can pick it up now that I spoke to the agent on the phone. I go to the store and tells me it shows it's been delivered and charged at the first location. I go to the location again and they tell their not sure what happened but they will look into it. I wait for 30 minutes to tell me that their manager just took a break. So I wait for the manager to return. He then proceeds to ask me about random phones and informs me that I have been charged for the new phone. So I ask if I was charged can I just get it and end this nightmare.
The Store manager tells me I need to take it up with ATT (I'm inside an ATT store talking to the ATT store manager). They can issue me a ticket and MAYBE get it resolved in a week or two. I go home, still thinking I might catch my flight if I can possibly get the phone by miracle before the plane takes off. I call ATT and get passed around agents with everyone confused about why the last agent would tell me that. One agent tells me she sees no notes and just rude (April in ATT Customer loyalty, the irony) then says she will transfer to the manager but hangs up directly. Another agent tells me she will fix this (after going through 3 agents before getting to her) and I'm fine to go the store and do the phone upgrade that I tried to do 6 hours before.
Great! Took 6 hours but I'll have my phone and just enough time to catch our flight. I go to the store, only to get told nothing has been changed on the account and in fact the notes don't say anything specific and basically looks the same as it did in the morning. Except that I've been charged for the phone and the next 30 month plan ATT offers.
So they took my money on an order I was not involved in since ATT's agent did it with no confirmation from me, never got an order confirmation, never got my phone but they charged me. I'm not sure what else to call it besides stealing. I'm confused on how they can behave this way on a mistake they did and 15 people of ATT's finest can't figure out. I wanted a refund and give me my upgrade back so I could take my phone and catch the flight. Last phone call that just ended (8pm, this started at 9am) told me I will get $35 for my troubles and wait for an email that will eventually show up this week to decline the order so I can start this process all over again. ATT charged me and signed me up on a contract without my permission and never gave me the phone they charged me for. I have no idea this was allowed to happen.

We have been with AT&T for over a year now, and it has been the worst experience yet. We live in Yucca Valley California, which happened to have an outage with the AT&T tower for 3 weeks. We were able to make a phone call about 2-3x a day, with services being sporadic in nature. We could not RELY on a phone call for any reason. We spoke with Joel ** from Mobility Sales + Service, and we were completely deflected from the any form of compensation for this issue.
We would explain that we could not make/receive phone calls from our city for most the day, but when the representative hears this, his instant reply is, "Well you were able to make a phone call at parts of the day, and that's not how we justify credit." So, the logical response is NOT make a phone call whenever possible when there is a variable outage? That's like telling us we are reliable for our own hazards caused by a Phone Company not taking responsibility for their own contract terms. Thankfully we didn't get into a car accident, because AT&T... would leave you on the road and say it's your fault.

They then said they'd give me a free month of service, for all the hassle, loss of business, liability for not having a phone (I'm a pool cover tech and I'm on call. If I can't get out to a cover that's broken and fix it, and someone drowns due to there not being a cover in place, I and my company are liable), that free month didn't happen.

We own a small family restaurant in Los Angeles and we've been having issues with our VoIP and U-verse internet since 2012. Connection gets lost at least once a month and happens so frequently that all of our employees have the service number written down. We utilize the internet for our POS system and telephone lines. Imagine how chaotic it becomes when the internet goes down.
Just recently on Tuesday, our phone lines went down again. Repair services were unable to come until the next afternoon. I checked our online account and noticed that we have already had 36 missed calls. This is extremely financially damaging to a restaurant with multiple competitors nearby. In the meantime, I requested that all calls be forwarded to my personal cell phone. I repeated my cell phone number and had him repeat it back to me. He assured me that all calls would be forwarded to my cell phone. Since I did not like the idea of using my personal cell phone, I desperately went to T-Mobile and easily purchased a cell phone with a SIM card for business use. I went online at www.smb.att.com and forwarded calls to the temporary cell phone number.
Lo and behold, the very next morning at 5am, I began to receive multiple calls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and nearby areas. In the course of several hours, I received 29 calls from Baton Rouge. I also received multiple voicemails from patients requesting appointments, medications, and callbacks. I decided to investigate myself and called back one of the patients. He stated that he was looking for Kevin **. A quick internet search showed that Kevin ** was a dentist located in Baton Rouge. I immediately called their number and realized that their phone line was down, based upon the same message I got when attempting to call our own family business.
Luckily, they had an email address and I got in contact with an employee at their office named Kim. She confirmed that their phone lines were down for the last few days and she was attempting to fix the issue with guess who, AT&T. The agent from the night before had forwarded ALL the calls from not my business, but from Kevin ** dental office to my personal cell phone. I continued to keep in contact with Kim and she stated that AT&T had resolved the issue. Not only was this incredibly irritating, AT&T must be violating some sort of patient privacy laws. I have names of patients in my voicemail box.
Now the next day, a repair man showed up and stated, "This is a connection issue. The agent has put in a wrong order form. You will need to place a fix order issue." He did nothing and left. I called AT&T again, and asked for a proper repair order. He stated that the best he can do is Saturday, Sept 2. It's now been 5 days without our number working.
I was beyond angered and decided to switch my business phone lines back to analog for reliability. The sales representative had the nerve to offer me multiple promotional offers such as DirecTV and wireless service. Without my permission, the sales agent attempted to upgrade my internet service to 100mbps, 3 times during our conversation. I had to keep reminding her that she did not have my permission to upgrade my internet services but she continued to make statements such as, "Okay, so I have you set up for two regular phone lines at $60 each with an additional $10 for long distance calls for a total of $140 and will be putting your internet services at 100mbps." What? NO! I said "NO! I DO NOT WANT increased internet speeds, I need a connection to even have that work!"
She then assured me that analog phone service will be serviced within 5-7 days. I desperately requested that they issue it faster as the call forwarding feature was not reliable and still dropping many calls. This restaurant is our family's bread and butter and we were losing customers on a daily basis because our phone lines were disconnected. As I was transferred to another third party to confirm my new service order, the connection was lost. I had to call back only to find that the order confirmation number did not exist. I was transferred two more times until they were able to locate my previous order by a record locator number. I had to deal with the annoyance of speaking to yet another sales agent that tried to sell me on more services that I refused.
Why do they ask for permission to offer promotional prices? Because even if I refuse and say NO, they continue to haggle me with sales pitches. At the end of the conversation, I confirmed again if a service tech will contact me within 5-7 days to change our phone lines back to analog. I was reassured again that there was a note to expedite if possible but won't be later than 7 days. I called AT&T last night to confirm, and they have scheduled me for September 14. That's 16 days, not 5-7. That will mean that my business phone line has been down for more than two weeks. I have asked the agent why I was initially lied to and he could not answer me. I also requested that I speak to a supervisor who can listen to the recordings of the promised 5-7 day window, and he said no such supervisor was available.
AT&T, I certainly hope that karma catches up to your deceitful practices. You have been nothing more than trouble and a waste of my time and money.

I have been contacting him each month for him to credit my account to no avail!!! He's only did a $100 credit that I was told the supervisor had to do. And now Savanah the supervisor says she knows nothing about. He Just keeps hanging me on. So now I have $232.41 that a manager finally credited me over email. On my 4th attempt to go to the store personally because each time there was no supervisor available!!! I spoke to a Savanah which informed me that she could only do $40 until after the first of the month which is ridiculous!!! And that Desmond which is no longer there evidently has been fired had told me a lie that these IPADS were FREE!!! At the time I didn't want these which his (spiel) included that they would ALWAYS be free!!!
I have pages and pages of text messages with him. I'm so unhappy with customer service!!! It's like as long as I'm buying they are more than willing to help.

Not only have they not admitted Desmond lied but AT&T had been removing these charges each month for a year to prove they were sold for FREE. Now they say the mistake should be on me for half the contract. These iPads are useless!!! If I have a 2 year contract that they have painfully honored over the first year.

I needed to separate out a phone from my normal service. I talked to a rep who told me that a single line (I own my own phone) would run about 75 for 3 GB data. He then went on to say that I could go for unlimited data for 90/month and DirecTV at 35/month. Good deal right? DirecTV came and installed the dish (great guy), and a week later, I received a bill for 105.00. I called immediately, and was told that it would take 2 or 3 billing cycles to get the right price on DirecTV.
Not having much confidence in the ATT Rep, I called again and got someone that seemed to be looking out for me, and trying to get me the best deal. First off, there is no plan (with insurance) that would run 90/month. It just doesn't exist! The closest plan I could get was 105 to 125 (different ATT reps could not seem to agree on what that price should be). She then sold me a single line for 73/month. This however, would not reduce my DirecTV bill.
5-1/2 hours later, after transfer after transfer, dropped calls, through out the world (a couple of the folks could barely speak legible English) I supposedly got to the highest level at the customer loyalty. The 3 people I spoke to there were adamant that they could do nothing about the DirecTV bill that I'm now liable for at 69/month. I continued to ask for the next level of management and was told this was it, the highest I could go. I kept insisting that it was an ATT rep that sold me the lie, and they should make it right.
They were adamant that there was nothing they could do. I am now on the hook for the very expensive TV service for 2 years. 2 Years really? At a price I never agreed to? I am now in the process of taking my business from ATT to Sprint. 40/month, no contracts, unlimited data/text. Of course, it couldn't be easy. I needed ATT to unlock my phone, and the normal internet process was not working. That was another 1-1/2 hours to get it resolved. ATT Customer Service is the worst I've yet to experience. ATT, you have lost a 10 year loyal customer. I know this doesn't matter much to the giant, but if you have this many unsatisfied customers, it will surely start to matter. Think Sears.

We have been ATT customer for past 12 years and have 4 lines with the company. I called in to discuss data plan features we have and the price and what Verizon wireless is offering for the same amount of money. I was transferred to loyalty department to discuss more where I would expect to discuss how we can make this happen in decent manner. Instead the representative names Terriant ** started off by saying "We do not match any other carrier's deals" without even looking up my account.
After that I started explaining the situation and he interrupted few times by saying that's not going to happen. He mentioned further on how ATT plan is technically better as you can talk, text, watch video & use navigation at the same time. I am in tech by profession and know when someone does not know single thing about technology, this was the guy. Some of the sentences he said to me during our conversation "We do not let customer dictate how we run our business, some customers will go but we will get some more". He constantly interrupted and never really tried to understand the situation, which is the basis of customer service. I asked for manager and he said we do not have any and he will transfer me to billing. If this the model AT&T want to follow for their customer service, I would rather pay more to some other company who actually values their customers. According to him, they can survive without decent customer service.

I purchased an Iphone with unlimited data many years ago. AT&T wanted me to buy this and agreed to unequivocal unlimited data. Ever since that time they have tried to unethically deal with all the consumers who bought in to those plans. Now they are over burdened with new "unlimited data" plans and completely unethically cutting services to prior customers who signed on for "unlimited data".

I've been with ATT for 20 years and the service I received on the 25th and 26th was horrific. Whenever I was transferred to the loyalty department they were far from apologetic and not sincere. Instead they were cold and didn't want to provide information like the manager's name. There is a lack of service and empathy with AT&T Loyalty Department. A simple sorry would've sufficed, or try to care when you're faced with the possibility of losing a customer of 20 years. Isn't that the point of the Loyalty Department? To try to resolve and retain the customer?
Issue: Called in to find out promos for adding a new line. Was given a promo by the sales manager, then the rep said she couldn't enter it and said she would call me back. She called back to say she can't enter the order with the promo given by her manager because I needed to get DirectTV, I said no thanks and that was the end of the call.
2 hours later her manager CALLED ME and said he was sorry, but he COULD enter the order without DirectTV and it was approved, transferred me back to the rep to enter the order. She entered the order and somehow created 3 additional phone lines for me, instead of just ONE line and didn't even enter the promo. I understand she was new, that was clear from the start, so I decided to call them back to fix it.
I called back to speak to them to get this resolved and of course, the other reps didn't know how to get me back to the center that placed the order and sent me to Loyalty instead. I was speaking with someone who seemed to be helpful, then she accidentally disconnected the call. I waited 5 mins for a callback and when she didn't I called back in hopes of getting her. Since I couldn't get through to her, I spoke to a manager in the loyalty department and was told she would call me back in 20 minutes after she figures this out. 2 Hours later when she didn't call me I called in again... was told to just leave the order, it will auto cancel.
At 11pm that night, got an email saying there was changes made to my account. So the next morning I called the loyalty dept again in hopes of figuring out what email was sent and rep said the order shipping. I said HOW? I didn't accept the terms... She said one item will be shipped. I requested her manager, he finally came on the phone and told me to go into the order and decline the terms. I asked for HIS manager's name. He said he can't provide that. I even requested a callback, he said I would have to wait 72 hours for a manager to return my call! I said that's absurd, you're IN the loyalty department and I can't speak with someone to resolve all this? He said no just decline the order.
I hung up, went to the email to DECLINE the terms and conditions, however it says there's an ERROR with the order, so I can't even decline the terms! I called back and was advised just leave it, if I don't accept the terms and conditions on the new lines, it will auto cancel. I asked if I could file a complaint, she said yes I could, but without them knowing the locations of the call centers it's going to be difficult. I thanked her for being honest and we got off the phone.
In 20 years, I've never experienced such horrible customer service, especially from the Loyalty Department - they seem to have attitudes, they're rude and honestly don't care about retaining a customer. Regular customer service was much more sympathetic, but said they had to transfer me to loyalty to resolve the issue. I mean you can't explain to me how all this got messed up? You couldn't offer to find a way to enter another order and fix the issue? What is wrong with you people? Why are there such long hold times to speak with a manager anyway? Are you really saying there are so many angry customers there's a 72 hour waiting period?
HEY LOYALTY DEPT - A SIMPLE "SORRY YOU'VE EXPERIENCED THIS" WOULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER! Your lack of service just cost you a customer of 20 years. I explained I wasn't happy and wanted to leave and was told - ok you can go ahead to Verizon! Are you joking? What's the purpose of the loyalty department?
I moved all 3 of my lines to Verizon plus added an additional line. Their price matched AT&T's as well. While at the Verizon store, 2 other people were there moving from AT&T to Verizon and we shared some pretty scary stories of their horrible customer service. It's just really sad when companies don't know how to appreciate a customer. I just wanted an apology for the trouble and the order fixed, not for anyone to tell me "cancel the order". Not ONE rep offered to fix the order, replace it or anything.

My husband has a phone for three months then it started not holding a charge so I called them up explain to the lady on the phone what was going on. She tell me to look over the phone make sure there is no physical damage which there was none. She tell me she will send a new phone and then I send back the old one which I did. Then I get my bill.

You can increase your monthly data or even get unlimited data (for an outrageous price) but my bill is too expensive as it is for me to increase my monthly data limit.

Once you go over your data you might as well turn your phone off til your next cycle cause it's a useless paper weight. A very expensive one at that! I have never wanted to switch phone companies since I've been with them but this slow internet will drive you crazy! You can't do anything on the internet or apps.

In-Store Sales team, Online Cust Svc Reps AND Phone Cust Svc would not divulge this information and are trained to say "it will be the same" when switching from postpaid to prepaid plans. This is misleading and intentional omission. ATT also removes the chat feature for customer svc for PREpaid loyal clients with the SAME upgraded plans only advanced payment. False advertising and punishment for clients AFTER they have already prepaid for the service they CANNOT get refunded for.
Now we have 4 phones we want use because wifi calling through our trusted reliable ISP is blocked by ATT. Their customer svc in all forms is atrocious. Number calls and great time investment over several days is the average for solving technical or connection issues. Choose another carrier on the Same GSM network. All their plans and honest representation of plans surpass ATT's unfair consumer policy and untrained misleading staff.

Today after nearly one year of attempting via Apple and AT&T with multiple phone calls with people I had difficulty understanding, internet tutorials and visits to the Apple Store and AT&T to enable my Apple ID, I had a stroke of luck in Fort Myers named Jasmin. Initially I needed info on AT&T's 30 day plan on how to handle texting, email and phone calls on my iPhone while in Italy. Once this was taken care of and explained in a way I could understand the very patient Jasmin asked if there was anything else she could help with. Given that opening I mentioned my Apple ID had been disabled and even the Apple Store, after hours of trying, and a call to a supervisor could not help me other than to give me a case number. I just surrendered.
Jasmine at AT&T however was delighted to assist with enabling my Apple ID and said it might take a "few minutes" and bless her she was correct!! So pleased with the service Jasmin provided. Above and beyond the call of duty! I will deal only with Jasmin in the future. She is knowledgeable and patient beyond measure. A rarity in today's Customer Service.

I was offered a "free" phone from AT&T. The representative I first spoke with was Eric. This was back in March of 2017. Well little did I know this "free" phone was NOT free because the promo he mentioned was no longer valid. So I then asked to cancel my order to this "free" phone with AT&T, well for some reason it was not able to be cancelled because the order had already been processed and I had to wait for it to be delivered and I was told to return it. Well I DID! I used the return label they provided for me to use, USPS took take of it and the tracking information says it was "tendered to return agents" which would be Newgistics. I then try to track the package with Newgistics.
This is now April 10th, 2017 when it was "picked up" from newgistics at the USPS office, come to find out the tracking number is not recognized with Newgistics. I contact them and they tell me they do not have any record of that package. So I tell them, USPS tracking information indicates the package was given to them on April 10th 2017, I am told to contact USPS. I do, yet again and I am sent back and forth from USPS to Newgistics. I am at a dead end because neither companies have the package and neither companies can further assist me.
In the meantime I had already contacted AT&T several times. I explained my entire situation to them several times. They opened up a case for me. It was denied. (I never got a call back to let me know it was denied within the time frame they gave to me. I had to do their job, I had to call them so they could let me know my case had been denied.) During that call another case was opened up to further this investigation to find out where this phone had mysteriously vanished to and again I was told I would be contacted and yet again I was not contacted! During this whole time I am stuck paying this "free" phone that was never "free" from the very beginning, every month since this phone and new phone line was added to my acct.
I have been paying AT&T, I have been giving them my money into a scam they lured me into and when I returned their phone they so happened to have never received it and the tracking number that they provided in their shipping label is no good anymore after USPS handed to Newgistics. And I am stuck paying for a phone that is not in my possession, I am stuck paying for something I returned using the return label AT&T themselves provided me to use and I am stuck giving them my money! Gifting them my money I should say until this phone happens to "appear" in their warehouse.

After many years as a wireless customer I decided to close my account and transfer my two phones to another provider thus saving about $120/month! The new provider told me what to do to do the transfer. ATT customer service on the other hand was abysmal. It took me TWO weeks of endless hours on the phone, morning and evening (until 9 PM - that is when they all shut down!) of relentless detective work on my end -- and I nearly broke down and gave up -- to finally snatch back my phones and get them unlocked. I had to walk the walk of being on hold forever, having the lines dropped, being connected to the wrong departments (because ATT tampered with my account cancelling my long time regular account and transforming it for a reason that escapes me entirely into a prepaid account so no one could figure where my information was and under which account!).
This has been a horror show and a two week torture session. I got lucky to speak to a rep who happened to be seated next to someone who knows how to unlock phones! Can you believe it? Bottom line is: I do not blame the reps. They are very poorly trained and most of them do the best they can with the little they have to work with. I blame ATT -- the company is responsible for the service it delivers to its customers -- it is responsible for training its employees, for ensuring customer satisfaction vs the abuse and torture I went through for two weeks. I am sure they could not care less about what former customers like me think but I am writing this to alert people out there to stay away from the ATT nightmare.

When AT&T offered me a Samsung tablet for being a valued customer I said "what's the cost," they say "$10 a month and it's unlimited like your phone." I said "I don't use a tablet so if I got it could I take it off later if I'm not using it?" "Yes" she said "of course." That's all lies, there's an activation fee, a second line fee, and you can't take it off until the contract is up or they will really stick it to you. Now, I guess I should have read the terms and conditions, but who has time to read that? But my real beef is that the representatives are allowed to Lie to you. After many many years with AT&T I am completely THROUGH with them.

AT&T Wireless is too expensive for what they offer. Their service has also declined over the last year but they do have good customer service. I would go with another cellular service.

I called AT&T to set up a new account, paid the deposit and taxes and sat on hold for an hour waiting for a supervisor because the agent was incompetent. The agent finally said the supervisor would call me back; I never received a callback and then experienced on an 8 hour nightmare of being transferred, hung up on, and put on hold while no one at AT&T could find my account number, order number, or payment.
After 6 1/2 hours on the phone that first day, they finally assured me that everything was fine and that the order was processed. I called back the next day and the agent informed me that the order was never processed, that they could not refund my money for at least 21 days, and that they could not set up a new order without an additional deposit and payment. Swindlers at their finest. This was literally the worst customer service experience of my life. Buyers beware. THIS COMPANY AND ITS EMPLOYEES ARE THE DEFINITION OF IDIOCY.
