AT&T Internet has completely gone out 4 times in the past 11 months. At the end of August I decided to give them one more chance and upgraded to fiber as I work from home. Less than 2 months later my modem died and it took 2 days to get a tech out. He was to arrive between 8:30 and 12:30 but was later than 12:30. Their customer service provided no help and there was no urgency despite my recent upgrade and having been with AT&T for 10 years. I will be switching to Spectrum and hope their Internet is more reliable than AT&T. I would not recommend AT&T for any service. I would give AT&T zero stars but at least one is required.

AT&T have absolutely terrible customer service. I was told I was eligible for an upgrade and it would not cost more but boy was that a lie. I called and was told it was only more once because they prorate the change but still makes no sense. If it doesn't go up then how can it be more. Never got a straight answer.

Actual use of ATT cell phone service is good but dealing with them on the phone is a horrible nightmare. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing. I have spent hours on the phone trying to fix an incorrect invoice.

Lots of dropped calls, sometimes several times during a call to the same person. In other words, we need to keep calling each other back because the call dropped in the middle of the conversation. And sometimes, I'm unable to make or receive calls for several minutes during the time of the dropped calls. Difficult to speak with a customer service agent unless you go directly into the store. And then, you have to wait forever to be seen. Unfortunately, they are the only provider who actually has any kind of service out here. It's awful.

We live less than 5 miles from AT&T's tower and both my wife and I experience dropped calls and failed text messages. When I spoke to AT&T they said it was most likely my phone because it's an older one (Samsung 5) but when I told them my wife's iPhone 7 does it too they didn't have a real answer. They refuse to believe there is anything wrong with their tower, we've Parked at the tower and saw on our phones we had 4G LTE service with 5 bars (the max) but once we were a mile away it service dropped to 4G and 3 bars, another mile and it was 4G and 1 bar and it stayed like that all the way home. And the Internet connectivity is worse than the phone service.

I have had problems with this company for the past 10 years that I have been a customer. Every month my bill is different. They quote you one price and then add all these taxes and surcharges, but went to the competition and they didn't charge all the fees and taxes that AT&T does and the only reason I went back to AT&T is they claim they was giving me a deal without all those taxes, yeah right.

We have been with AT&T for almost a year and have not had any problems. When have needed answers, they are very helpful. My previous company was getting more difficult to get a straight answer from and did not honor a promise they had made.

I absolutely love AT&T. They have always worked with us about every aspect of the service. Excellent communication and caring staff. Helped me with plans, new phones, ability to pay and service questions. I have been with AT&T for about 12 years now and I have no intentions on leaving this company or accepting some other companies' schemes to get you to leave your provider and then, next thing you know your bill is not what you wanted or what you agreed to. I will always recommend AT&T to anyone, anywhere and at any time.

I echo what every other customer writes on here. AT&T misrepresents and then locks customers into long term contracts with no way to take corrective action. They pass you around between departments (customer service, loyalty, mobility) until one of them disconnects, leaving you starting from square 1 again. They sold me a Velocity and Digital Life Home Security which did not meet my needs and were terrible services, but had me locked into 3 year contracts that cannot be terminated without massive fees. AT&T is not subject to recourse for providing bad service. There is no watch dog which empowers consumers to get their $ back. They owe me $2,000 services they are charging but I cannot use. Where is the consumer right to not be forced to pay for services that are not delivered? AT&T is full of fraud and misrepresentation. I am on board with a Class Action Lawsuit if anyone else is.

I don't even know where to begin, was lied to so many times I don't even know what is truth and what is not. I called to setup home internet service, was told I could get new mobile phone service with them and would be eligible for BOGO phones, it was a lie, was told I would get expedited shipping. It was a lie. Finally got box in the mail and it only contained one phone, still don't have the 2nd phone and no one can tell me when I will get it. I have talked to multiple representatives and supervisors. No one can tell me anything. No one even acts like they care, just pass me to someone else. My plans are to cancel all of my services and return to my former carriers.

I cannot even get a phone with AT&T. They canceled my order cause they could not find my DIRECTV account. When I call them they have my account and phone number but I still cannot sign into or register my account cause the computer cannot find my account. So what do think about that. I even told them I was having trouble but they don't hear me. They go create a account I cannot cause it skips my phone number and account number out. They have not fixed it yet and it's been 5 days. And that is my problem.

Billing cycle is very tight time-wise and then late charges are tacked on. I was using a lot more data all of a sudden and kept trying to figure out what had happened as additional charges were fairly substantial. I actually went to an AT&T store to have a customer service rep. look at my phone, usage, apps, etc. He tried to assist but really gave no useful/helpful info. But I changed to a higher priced plan to avoid all of the overcharges. UGH!!

I had a landline account with AT&T associated with a business I purchased. I called with questions about the account. A rep named Lazarius took the call. He sold me on a bogo offer to change my Sprint account to AT&T. He gave me a lower monthly rate and 2 free phones with purchase of 2. I ordered my phones. When they came I was being billed for all phones. I called AT&T again. They said I would get a credit for 2 free phones on the third bill. Now AT&T is saying the phones I ordered are not eligible for the bogo I was sold. I had been with Sprint about 10 years, instead of saving money I lost in excess of 1000.00. Worst decision I ever made. Very unhappy AT&T customer. I was cheated and lied to.

I have had AT&T since they were VoiceStream, then BellSouth then Cingular now AT&T, yes a while. I have 3 cell phone lines and have watched the cost steadily go up over the years. Now averages $260. I have Directv and it went from $65.00 to $120. They said if I combined my bill they would charge $25 for DirecTV. Bill was $320. Dropped Directv after no deals and my contract was over. Bill went to $280. Keep in mind it is $20 more now. Called and lowered data plan and it went to $240 and after 3mb it was so slow it timed out before loading a page. Before this it was not that slow. Changed to unlimited and back to $320. How do they cut service and charge more? Everyone drop this company. Dish is cheaper with more service and a DVR with a 2 year price lock. Verizon and T-mobile are cheaper. Don't believe what you read. My brother has 4 lines at Verizon and his bill is cheaper with unlimited???

A little too expensive for the service but if I go to the physical store, service is very satisfactory. If I call in, forget it, not very good service at all. Also, (biggest complaint) their billing sucks.

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.

My fiance and I switched over to AT&T from Verizon to save some money per month. We were a part of the AT&T switch over program in June and they denied us a few times stating we didn't provide the right information with our Verizon bill. 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. Long story short we were approved and now waiting for our gift cards after 4 months of waiting. Plus AT&T service is horrible. No internet most of the time.

We just started service with them and it's been nothing but a hassle since literally 2 hours after ordering their service. I kept thinking things would get better but they just haven't. We ordered tv & internet on the 5th, internet was installed on the 9th and then on the 11th they tried to add a new fee that wasn't originally on there. We get that fixed, then DirecTV comes out, we find out we can't have them (the way we face, nothing to do with their actual service) and I call to get switched to U-verse and now they can't put the internet promotion back on that they originally had. Even though it's still being offered on their website they just magically can't do it for me. I wish I had gone with Comcast.

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. When I called they transferred me multiple times and then they gave me a representative that had a bad headset and a very thick accent. She got annoyed when I asked for a supervisor. Surprise they refused to remove the charge. I have since paid Comcast to run a line to my home and whatever I am paying is worth it to get away from this horrible company.

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.

Called customer service to have my name changed on caller Id to match my AT&T to match my billing. Lady couldn’t speak clear English, couldn’t hear or understand English. Spelled everything several times to her. All the time she was talking you could hear people in the background which sure didn’t help the language barrier we were experiencing and once I had to ask her to ask the man in the background to stop yelling. She laughed and said her coworkers were crazy. At the end she began asking me if I wanted all these extra things that I qualified for. Directv was one. I said, "Not interested" so she ask me how much I pay for cable tv. Got annoyed when I said I didn’t want anything else. Finally had to hang up because she kept on and on. I might have to find a carrier who has a call center who speaks my language and has employees who respect others trying to conduct business. It’s a thought even after 9 years with AT&T.

When I first walked in the building to start my very first experience with AT&T with cash in hand to buy a brand new Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge was when it started. They gave me a refurbished phone and told me I needed to pay for another customer’s bill of 700.00 before I could take it. They fought with me for several hours before taking the blame for the mistake. They compensated me with 3 extra gigs of data... 3 different times now I've been charged for things I never used or had. And just recently I ordered an iPhone 7 for my daughter's 16th birthday that they never shipped and I had nothing to give her in front of her and my family. I had to explain why. No compensation for that. So I'm in the search for another place that will hopefully help me with paying my phone off and getting away from AT&T. Metro PCS was 10 times better than they are.

I have an existing service. We demolished our restaurant for a total remodel. It took more than an hour to finally get to the right person who could handle the orders to place the service on hold. I called two weeks ago to begin the conversation for re-establishing service and again spent an hour being transferred and placed on hold multiple times. Told me to contact our local engineer and make certain we were good to move forward. Talk to the engineer who realizes (because she actually asked good questions) we didn't need an engineer. We just needed At&t to come out and run the lines because it was existing service and nothing had changed!
Today, I have spoken with three different people (two of which I was transferred to) and now I'm on hold yet again for hopefully the right person to take my order and start the process of reinstating our 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 had a Samsung S7 Galaxy in good condition. The screen just stopped turning on and I was told my phone was still under the 1 year warranty that came with the Samsung phone. As long as the phone had no liquid or physical damage the warranty covered it. There was none of this. I was given a refurbished phone and told to send my phone in the same package that was given for the refurbished phone. I did so.
After about a week and a half I received my original phone back with the screen shattered and told that it was not under warranty because there was physical damage. 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. The refurbished phone can barely hold a charge and is well worth less than my original phone. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years now and considering changing service providers. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone because of this reason.

My story begins with an alluring offer from AT&T. Buy an iPhone and receive a free iPad mini if you pay for an additional line. Their ploy is successful! I bite and receive my brand new iPad mini (currently still unopened in the box 2 years later.) Fast forward 2 years and my Steve Jobs special is malfunctioning. I walk into my "friendly" local AT&T store only to find that it is a business occupied by apathetic salesman that lose all interest in assisting you upon learning you can't line their pocket with a commission because you are only there for technical issues. I decide to take my problem to the competition VERIZON after being told "sorry, good luck". Well 2 short days later I am in a relative state of nirvana as I look at my brand new iPhone and my dramatically reduced monthly cell phone bill! All is well in the world again...
Fast forward 2 and half months and I receive a 97$ cell phone bill from the gone but not forgotten former service provider. I decide to call customer service and inquire as to why? This must be some sort of mistake... I'm not concerned though because once I explain to the Customer Service Manager that they are overbilling me by 87$ per month then they will surely correct it and I will undoubtedly be reimbursed for there mistake, right? Well as you might of guessed I was wrong, well not wrong just disappointed. I ended my not so fruitful 2-hour customer service exchange with a cancellation of the additional line and a pocket that is 300$ lighter than it should have been.
So here I am online with one goal. I want people to read my review and decide for themselves that AT&T is not where I want to do business. I hope from me putting this on a worldwide customer review website that AT&T suffers financial loss that will greatly exceed the 300$ they took from a hard working consumer and they have a Corporate board meeting where they waste more money discussing reform and company realignment due to lack of revenue and are forced to lose their footprint across the country. I mean what else can I do folks? AT&T I hope the ripple effect from your shameful business practice is your undoing! Good luck out there folks, be wary of AT&T!

I wish I could call AT&T and get seamless service. I tried to activate a new line and was told that I needed to get a new sim card in the mail (although I had a brand new sim with my phone), once the sim came in the mail it was the wrong one although I provided AT&T the phone's IMEI number. I did not feel like calling AT&T to deal with this so I decided to go with another company for that line.
I now got a bill for this line for $64.18. I called AT&T and they can see I've never even activated the line, yet, your representative named Destiny from Georgia is telling me that she cannot waive these charges and they are valid. Since when is it legal to charge someone for something they do not have or used or even activate? She didn't want to cancel this line. She left it active. What kind of nonsense is this?
Please contact me to settle this account. I've had AT&T since 1995 (with my parents) and my own account since 2004 (this one) and I'm seriously sick and tired of dealing with AT&T. I hate calling customer service because of the lack of training and common sense. Please fix this account, Otherwise, I will make sure to report this issue to the FTC, Consumer Affairs, and BBB, and look for another service provider because I am absolutely fed up with the nonsense. Please fix this before my bill is due because I am not paying for something I never used because y'all sent the wrong sim card.
Please credit my account for this line because it has never been activated or used. You all should not charge people for a service they have never used. And please, PLEASE train your representatives to properly handle customer complaints. I should not have to spend time sending letters through BBB and FTC and ConsumerAffairs, it takes a lot more time than your representatives using common sense!

Have been using AT&T 30GB plan for 2 years. They now drop the hotspot service and the agents have no clue - they work on it for 2 hrs in the store asking to upgrade software and may be an issue with the phone and finally they say to call customer service and after 3 tries one of them figures the plan that I am on no longer has HotSpot. It took 8 hours between stores and 3 customer support calls to figure the issue. AT&T does not even inform they dropped hotspot.
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. Have them write in an email about any discount they may say they will provide as it is a hassle to call them every month and get the discount - they don't apply automatically.

I ordered AT&T and DirecTV service. The guy set both installation date for the same day (which was 2 days later). DirecTV came out with no problem. 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. That date arrive and I'm sitting home waiting and waiting for the tech however no one shows up. I called customer service, was on hold for 15 minutes. The lady finally comes on the phone. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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).

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 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.

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?

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.

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'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.

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.

My wife told them and the rep excitedly said he could save us a ton of money by switching to their Uverse plan. Cable (with Direct TV), Internet, home phone, cell phones, etc. In all it was supposed to save us around $40 a month over what we were currently paying. AND we would have cable, something we hadn't in our house in a couple of years.
We signed up and lo and behold our bill was $80 over what they had promised us! We were actually paying more money than before with a MUCH worse internet connection. We called to complain and after speaking with four different reps were told that the promotion we had been promised NEVER existed. They acted as if we were stupid and just didn't understand.

AT&T has developed a time-wasting "Merry Go Round" type customer care. You call in and you begin giving all your security information to find out the person on the other end knows nothing other than they need to send you somewhere else. 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.

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.

The website has gotten better, but still needs a lot of work. I think the design could be a little more user-friendly and not so difficult to use. Also, I avoid going in the stores because the young kids they hire could at least have some training in customer service. Cingular had Stellar service before they became ATT, but it's still way better than Sprint's non-existence customer service and Verizon's high prices.

Use the landline the most, and would like to never get rid of it. Rarely cellular does not work, and occasionally have to go to the landline to be able to hear the conversation. AT&T is also our landline.

If you have a question or problem, it will take you forever to get an answer. Most of the people working on the call station have such a strong language barrier. It's hard to understand them.

They are expert at bill padding and switch and bait tactics. We have to spend several hours each month to go over their enhanced billings. We will leave them when the term ends.

AT&T has been charging us way too much. Paying out over 350.00 a month. I have called them several times over the last two months and they always smooth it over and say I am on the best plan etc. Since I have everything bundled it is a majority of the expenses from wireless with phones that were suppose to be free. The wifi does not work very well and goes in and out at my home all the time!

The service is excellent but the customer service is horrendous and many time the website does not have the answers needed nor the chat service as well. Many times with customer service, the proverbial left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

I only pay for voice and no data. It is not reliable enough to get data and be worth the while. The company is too large to take care of personal issues.

Just overpriced and customer service seems to care more about sales when I'm trying to downsize. The service itself is better than the previous providers however I'd like to see international calls be a one flat rate.

They are my only option in the hilly area I live in. I hate them. In the past ATT charged me after I discontinued my account and would not repay the money they took automatically. They did this to my neighbor as well. It's systematic. I would never recommend them and wish I had other options.

OMG. If I could possibly give a negative star score. First and foremost, their pre-pay plan doesn't cover a full month. It covers 30 days, which means that they get an extra half a month per year in payments, and your due date will change every other month. Sneaky sneaky. They unprovisioned my sim, forcing me to call them for over 2 hours, then when they couldn't resolve it, they sent me into a store where I had to spend another 2.5 hours in the store, dealing with this mickey mouse organization.
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. They ended up taking out my payment WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, 9 days early, messing up my budget. They'll "credit" my account, but will deactivate my account. These guys are dishonest as hell, lying, thieving crooks. The moment my six months is up and I can get a sim unlock code, I'm doing it. Their cust service is good though. Nice, polite, it's such a shame they work for such a crooked company. I just called in, they're going to credit my account and give me a free month of service. I would MUCH rather pay my bill though and NOT have to deal with all this crap.

Bills are intentionally difficult to understand, and I have been overcharged for almost a year. I spend an hour a month on the phone with customer service, but they are never able to correct anything properly.

My only concern is that there are less expensive providers. Other than that I am very happy with the service. Great customer service, ease of access to customer service, very little or no service downtime.

You usually talk to four or five people from AT&T before the problem is solved. It usually take less than 100 words, but more personalities that you deal with to solve any problems that you have, when choosing make sure you double check to get the price to fit your family's budget.
