You can not talk to a person until you spend 10 minutes asking an AI bot to talk to someone, you will get a different answer from everyone you talk to, if they can not help you they will tell you they will transfer you to someone who can, and then they transfer you back to the AI bot to start over. There will be times when you just get hung up on multiple times in a row. They will give you information that is not accurate. They will refuse to help fix the errors that they have made on your order multiple times on the same order. Just pray that you do not need to call them for help!!

AT&T keeps getting worse and worse. I called to pay off my New Cell phone as I had traded my old phone a few months before. I noticed something was off with the total due, which I question the Customer Service person about. I paid what they said I owed and some how it got applied to the following months bill instead of paying the cell phone off. I called them and asked that they put it towards my cell and not the service. Now they show my bill as past due when is not even due until the 22nd of the month. Not sure how they are figuring out the bill but after spending 2 hours on the phone trying to fix it and they were still not able to help me. Terrible company to do business with.

The worst company ever! Sweet-talking until you get in, and to get out, they kill you by asking for extra money! Desperate service! There is almost no signal in the cities! I really don't know who allowed them to operate this way. Legal crime!

Do Not Ever Go To This Store!!! I made the unfortunate decision to go to our local "AT&T" store as I was overdue for a phone upgrade. The phone I wanted had to be ordered and I expressed my fear about the transfer not occurring successfully and wanted to make sure he is confident this could be avoided. He looked at my phone and stated everything was backed up and this should not be an issue. I went against my gut as my initial feeling walking into the store did not meet the same level of service I am accustom to from an AT&T store. In addition, I personally witness the manner in which another customer (elderly) was treated. The tone lacked empathy, service, and care. It is at this moment I was made aware that the store is not an AT&T store but instead and authorized dealer, Blue Link. By then I had already ordered the phone and was informed I had 14 days to change my mind.
A few days later my phone arrived at the store and I went by to complete the transfer. The original employee who placed the order was not present and the other employee who I now understand to be Kajon (Mgr) completed the transfer as well as place the purchased screen protector on the new phone. I had to rush back home for a call and was told everything was complete. After my calls I proceeded to check my emails, WhatsApp messages, etc. and messages were either not coming through or from 2024. This is where the REAL nightmare began.
Upon returning to the store for assistance I was met with, "we don't help with that" "that's the provider problem" "we can't do that". In addition, the screen protector he placed on the phone was not done correctly and he pretty much refused to fix it. I confirmed my 14 day return policy and left and went to the REAL AT&T Store in Dedham. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with such joy and assurance. ANDREW is a STAR! I've written a totally different review that experience. I made the decision to return the phone and screen protector with plans to then return to the AT&T store and purchase the phone there. Upon my arrival at the store, I saw the original employee who sold me the phone. I explained to him that I would like to return everything I purchased and for him to just have everything back to what it was on my phone and account before the purchase.
At this moment, he told me he would return the phone but he is not doing anything else. That is for me to figure out. At this point he got up from the desk and went in the back and got the guy who set up the phone (Kajon/Mgr). I asked for their names along with the name of their supervisor which they refused to give. Kajon eventually gave his name after I took pictures of both at which time the other employee stated I am recording the conversation so he should calm down. In the end we got half way through the transfer and Kajon's tone and refusal to assist, stating "normally he would assist but he's not going to in this case" or "he is kicking me out of the store and refusing to help".
Please note for most of this dialogue there were two other potential customers in the store. At this point I left and went back to the Apple Store in Dedham. He convinced my to go with the best option for me which was keep the phone, fixed the screen protector and 2 Apple watches and Tablets later I am back to being a happy AT&T customer.
Bottom line is, if you are an existing AT&T customer or considering the service, DON'T EVER GO to NEWTON. As a customer you will be highly disappointed and frustrated, and as a business owner, I don't need to see the books to know this store is not performing at it's full potential. Absolutely unacceptable service from both employees and if this is what BLUE LINK stands for you won't be in business for long.

AT&T is the worst wireless company. Signal breaks up, you’re told one thing when you sign up and once you sign up it is completely another. We were told we would be getting new free phones, instead I am paying almost the full price on them. Takes forever to get out of the automated service… It’s like they know people are calling to complain and don’t want to deal with them. I am now stuck with this service for another 2 1/2 years unless I want to pay to get out. I cannot wait to be done with this company. Stay away from this company as a wireless service at all cost!

Not the best experience! When I signed up early June for Instant On, I was waiting and waiting for an email or someone to contact me that I can go ahead and use it. Got the email, but when I tried to complete the process, it kept giving me account number not found or email address not found. Went in person to AT&T about it, and said that someone should be reaching out to me. I decided to go with Xfinity instead because I was still getting no progress. So I went back to AT&T to cancel the service and they gave me a number to call.
Called the number, they gave me another number to call because there's a different department that handles community share internet. Got it cancelled on the 22nd. Mind you, I still couldn't get access to internet or through the website. So I see a charge for June and called them today. Apparently, I'm not getting $51.96 back for a service I wasn't able to use based on their cancellation policy even though they can probably see on their end that I haven't fully registered through their website or logged on to their internet. Don't ever get AT&T internet! They stole my money and wasted my time!

I've had so many issues with AT&T since I switched from Verizon. Their customer service department at the store and phone, both have made so many mistakes on my account. All I'm being told is to keep waiting, and nothing has been resolved causing me to overpay on my bill. Reference ticket # ** and **. I regret switching phone companies and will very likely switch back.

I was promised milk and honey to switch to AT&T wireless and as soon as I switched problems started, slow speed high bills even though I used my phones that were already paid. They promised gift cards and after I canceled, they charged me arm and leg for just 10 days of use. Robbed me blind and when I called to talk about my bill, I get some people that don't speak English. When I asked for supervisor or manager they hanged up every time. Never going to use anything from AT&T ever again. STAY AWAY.

AT&T is the worst!! Horrible, horrible service. My phone was on sos 80% of the time. No service at work, I work at the hospital. They are overpriced for bad service. They also added an iPad to my account that we did not order nor did we receive one! We called costumer service they said go the store; we go to the store they said call customer service. They had no problem added something to my account that I didn't order then gave me the runaround to remove it!! They also were able to follow the transaction, so they saw that we never received an iPad, yet the still refused to remove it! They said it would cost me 600 to remove something I didn't order, and they can see that I never received, like whattttt!!!! We canceled our five lines and went to T-Mobile!! Now I have service at work, cheaper bill (not being charged for items I didn't order), free Netflix, free in-flight Wi-Fi (I travel a lot), and other free perks!

If you want to have to micromanage your wireless provider, then AT&T is for you. Not only is their service terrible (dropped calls, buggy connections, terrible wifi), but their customer service is ATROCIOUS! I just spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get a simple thing (international service set up). My call was dropped multiple times, I had to verify account details nearly half a dozen times (same info btw), but at the end of all that, they couldn't help me and told me to go online! I will be switching my wireless provider ASAP. I'm writing this to save anyone considering ATT the hassle of going in that direction. Maybe they've gotten too big to care or even to be able to handle their equipment? I don't know why they suck so hard, but stay away... far far away from their service.

Minus ten stars. Someone with government control needs to look into this and put these thieves out of business. I only have room here to give you the tip of the iceberg. Mid March I signed up for what sounded like a decent deal. Internet and two phones approx. $109.11 a month. DirecTV approx. $112. a mo. paid separately. One Iphone 16 Pro traded for 17 Pro, no charge, save for advance pay of taxes. Other 12 pro traded for 17 E, charge of $1.39 mo. + advance pay of taxes. Sounded good as this was nearly the same as X-finity monthly.
First bill came in auto deducted $284. for internet and phones only. Second bill,{ cancelled auto pay,} came in at $241. Had issues from day one but could never get answers, yet I called at least 20 times, usually two and half hours per call, plus constant transfers or change of number, so call again. Sent back two routers with UPS provided labels and have Tracking numbers that verify receipt but now, they've billed me $961. for item not received. Stores can not assist you with any real issues since only phone assistance is allowed to control issues, bills, etc..
No help, no ability to speak to an American, no service, just pure abuse that needs serious attention. Store agents and phone agents lie and then lie some more to cover the lies. I'm at my wits' end and they will soon realize that I'm not paying for what I don't owe. I'll likely suddenly be without internet, TV, or phones to even call elsewhere for new ones. I'm 78 and at a loss of what do I do now? Below it says, "Add a Receipt" but if they did that, then they'd provide you with a legitimate argument.

I have been a loyal AT&T customer for over 20 years. We have been through numerous plans and upgrades which can be challenging. This last upgrade is causing me to leave AT&T permanently. The corporate store AT&T rep mislead me to add a 4th line to get 4 lines at $25 each per line. This promotion ended in March and caused my bill to literally double. After spending 10 hours over 2 days in the store and 3 calls to AT&T covering another 2.5 hours of my time and frustration, this is unresolved. I am being financially penalized for a corporate store employees switch and bait tactic. The reps have been understanding but are unable to do anything about it! Good bye AT&T

AT&T wireless is horrible. My family left T-Mobile for a "cheaper" rate. We were scammed into a no contract with AT&T paying off our old phones. From the beginning was trouble. Some of our phones would not link to the service and the salesman "Jesse **" came out to fix the phones. Once fixed, we were instructed to keep our old phones for a week, just to make sure the new ones were working properly. Once the phones were working, I contacted Jesse numerous times to turn in our phones. My wife already turned hers in at the beginning of the deal. After 30 days we received a bill from T Mobile for the remainder of the phones.
We attempted to contact Jesse and went through various stores to resolve the matter. Around 60 days we contacted corporate and through a lot of trial and effort we received a credit on AT&T bill for the phones. We eventually paid off T-Mobile directly. We let the credit play out. During this time, we found out we cannot turn in the old phone because it was past the promotion date. So we are not in a contract, but we have to pay off the phones.We have experienced horrible phone service, prepaid is better service than AT&T. We also found out that Jesse had not turned in my wife's phone, but has since completed after an investigation. We are now going to pay off the remainder of the phones, and switch to a prepaid carrier. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T.

This month AT&T cellular charged us more than $300 in additional fees related to (non-AT&T) WiFi-based FaceTime international calls, claiming that their satellites were “pinged” during several of the WiFi calls. We have made international calls using FaceTime on WiFi many times over the years, and never had any such cellular charges. We called customer service to discuss this, which consisted of two hours of useless bouncing around from one powerless perhaps well-intentioned script reader to the next. I have been an AT&T cellular customer for more than 25 years and today’s experience absolutely ends that relationship. These charges are predatory as far as I’m concerned, and the customer service experience was exasperating and tedious at best. Goodbye AT&T, I’m taking my three lines elsewhere.

We are very disappointed with AT&T Wireless because we sent our IPhone 16s to them under their promotional program, and now they are saying the program has expired for us and we can’t get our phones back so we are out over $900. Their representative told us she wished she had better news but there are no exceptions and there was nothing she could do. Very poor way to treat a new customer!

Worst experience upgrading my phone. Countless hours on the phone, loss of money from no phone and missing work calls and 18 days trying to sort it all out for nothing, if I were not responsible for the term I would tell them where they could shove it but apparently almost 7,000 (1 star reviews) people have had similar experiences and feel the same way and nothing has changed. So bitching about is purely for my own benefit. No change is happening because they DO NOT CARE. Any company being such a tight ass must have some pretty clean coins in their piggy banks!

If I could give 0 stars I would. To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my experience as an AT&T customer and to request that AT&T honor the promotion that was presented to me when I signed up for service. I never intended to switch carriers, but I was approached by a door-to-door AT&T sales representative named Orlando, who offered what appeared to be a substantial savings compared to my existing wireless bill. At the time, my monthly bill with my previous carrier was approximately $500. Orlando informed me that he could reduce my bill to approximately $130 per month through an AT&T promotion.
Because I was skeptical of a door-to-door sales pitch, I visited a local AT&T store before making any decisions. The store employees confirmed that Orlando was a legitimate AT&T representative and explained that door-to-door representatives often have access to promotions that are not available in retail stores. Based on that information, I decided to proceed with switching my service to AT&T. I waited approximately three weeks for all four devices to arrive before activation could be completed. During the enrollment process, which took nearly two hours, Orlando explained that my four existing devices qualified for a trade-in promotion and that the new AT&T devices would effectively be free after the trade-in credits were applied. He specifically instructed me not to mail my old devices myself and stated that he would personally collect them and handle the return process, which he said would be faster and more efficient.
After the new devices arrived, Orlando contacted me from what he said was his personal phone because his work phone was broken. He asked whether I had activated the devices because they were not showing as active in his system. At that point, only two of the phones had arrived. The remaining two devices arrived the following day, and I activated all four devices together. Shortly after activation, I contacted Orlando and asked him when he would be collecting my old devices. He responded with a thumbs-up message, which led me to believe he would be contacting me soon to arrange pickup. As a result, I continued to hold the devices and waited for further instructions. The situation changed dramatically when all of my AT&T phones were suddenly suspended. Because suspended phones cannot even be used to contact customer service through 611, I immediately visited a local AT&T store.
The store representative informed me that my service had been suspended due to nonpayment. I was shocked because I had never received a bill, email notification, or any communication regarding an outstanding balance. The store was able to locate my account and bill but could not access all of the account details. I paid the outstanding balance of $488.64 in order to restore service. This amount represented only four phones with no insurance coverage. For comparison, my previous carrier provided service for five phones, two smart watches, one iPad, and a mobile hotspot device—with insurance on all devices—for approximately $500 per month. The savings that were promised during the sales process were clearly not being realized.
After contacting AT&T Customer Service and the Loyalty Department, I learned that the address and email address associated with my account had been entered incorrectly. As a result, I never received any billing statements or account notifications. At this point, approximately 37 days had passed since activation, and I still had the four trade-in devices. Orlando had completely stopped responding to my calls and text messages. I provided his phone number to AT&T representatives, but they were unable to reach him as well. A few days later, I received a call from a higher-level AT&T representative who documented my concerns and escalated the matter for further review. However, approximately five days after that conversation, I was informed that because too much time had passed, AT&T would not accept the trade-in devices and would not honor the promotion that Orlando presented to me during the sales process.
As a result, I am now being held financially responsible for four new devices while also retaining four devices from my previous carrier that had already been fully paid off. This situation occurred because I followed the instructions provided by AT&T's sales representative, who told me he would personally collect the devices and process the trade-ins. Additionally, incorrect contact information was entered into my account, preventing me from receiving billing notifications and account updates. To make matters worse, AT&T will not allow me to leave and return to my previous carrier without paying the remaining balance on the devices. I am effectively trapped in a situation that resulted from the actions and misrepresentations of an AT&T representative.
I am simply asking AT&T to honor the promotion that was presented to me and to take responsibility for the actions of its sales representative. Orlando misrepresented the process, failed to follow through on his commitments, and has become completely unreachable. I should not be penalized for relying on information provided by an authorized AT&T representative. I respectfully requested a full review of my account and a resolution that honors the original trade-in promotion as promised.
Sincerely,
A Very Dissatisfied Customer

I am excited to not be an AT&T customer any more their service was not great in many locations with frequent dropped calls. Also after being a customer for over 10 years they didn't allow us to turn in our phones 4 days after 30 day promotion period. When calling customer service constantly said there was nothing they could do (so no customer loyalty). Also customer service people trained to say no rather than help customer. Hopefully they go out of business soon.

The store was awesome on West Jefferson. Customer service over the phone is worthless, hung up on twice. Been a loyal customer for probably a decade on autopay. Not a slip on my part. Don't order online with promotion. Not available when your store has it. It's not online only or the next person says go in the store or they say both....Basically....you won't get it there either way. They will try to blame you and make you pay a 55% restock fee. Dustin was awesome. Nothing against him or the manager. The store could not fix ATT mess ups. I've been hung up on 2x calling customer service. Try ordering a s26 of any model online and pick up at store. Can't find a s26 near Fort Wayne just to make a point. They have 'em. Writing this on my new 26 Ultra. West Jefferson... 5 stars

I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T expecting better service and instead experienced a complete nightmare. While I was traveling, AT&T ported my phone number before ensuring my new service was working. I was left without a functioning phone for days and could not reliably communicate with my family. My husband spent about 4 hours on the phone with AT&T the first day, my son spent another 2 hours, and we spent well over 10 hours total trying to resolve the issue.
AT&T attempted to activate multiple eSIMs that never worked. We later learned those failed eSIM activations were preventing a physical SIM from being properly activated. After numerous calls, multiple failed attempts, and five SIM-related activation efforts, my service was finally restored. No customer should lose phone service for days during a carrier transfer. AT&T should make sure a customer’s new service is fully operational before disconnecting their existing carrier. I regret leaving T-Mobile and would not recommend AT&T based on my experience.

This is a copy of an email I sent to my account rep: I am more than disappointed with the service, particularly lack of hotspot service, I am encountering. Cloudfare (required for security by banks and financial services) won't connect over half the time! I never experienced Cloudfare connection problems even once with my Verizon subsidiary. The service is marginally better if I use the hotspot in my truck. So, am I suppose to sit in my truck and run the engine to use my computer or tablet? Also, the applications for viewing and managing wireless usage are a joke! Everything in these apps, whether on my Android phone, Android tablet, or Windows PC, is geared to sales, not managing the usage. A very disappointed customer,

Well how to start. I have been trying to fix my phone bill for 2 weeks now. Here it goes. 2020 mother passed. The bill was in her name. The phone was in a business account. Me I Lala my father and brother were on it hence business line. Well unfortunately mother passed in 2020. We took in death certificate then 2023 father passed. We took in death certificate. No issues.
Then 2026 my brother passes. Took in death certificate. For some reason AT&T has decided to make me pay my brother line after I tried 7 times to retroactively go back to when he passed because ironically it was March 31st. So the bill wouldn't be so high then to find out the I can't make any changes due to the fact I am not an active member in the account. But have to pay my deceased brother's line until it's paid off. Now mind you I have been hung up by 2 employees one supervisor whom never noted nothing on my account. I threaten them with a lawsuit and reminded them this being recorded.

Well, she convinced me to switch from Verizon to AT&T, thinking that everything was going to be better with AT&T service
Every time I arrived to my house once I get to my driveway or inside the house, I have only one bar in sometimes I cannot receive phone calls or make phone calls. I called so many times that I’m not going to waste my time calling customer service anymore because they couldn’t help me to have better service than Verizon. To be honest with you I’m so upset that I do really regret be betraying the company — the recent wireless—that I had for so many years. Now I’m stuck with AT&T wireless. But at this point I don’t care I’m going to go back to Verizon wireless even though I’m going to lose a lot of money, but I do prefer to be happy.

We switched to AT&T from Verizon on a promo, we traded in our phones that we were paying on at Verizon and we were supposed to get an $800 per line gift card to pay those phones off. I followed all the steps through at&t switcherpayoff and nothing ever came, so after two weeks of talking to people they said I never followed the step and uploaded my Verizon bill, which I did. Then they said I should have gotten an email which I never did. And we sent in our old Phones to at&t so now we our for the old phones to Verizon and the two new phones from at&t. We have to pay for 4 phones and AT&T got two free phones. So I told them I didn't get the promo so I need the Verizon phones back so I can return them to Verizon. They said they couldn't give me the phones back. So basically we are paying for 4 phones now and a high bill. We should have never switched from Verizon. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
