    AT&T offers a sub standard service with some of the most frustrating customer service on the planet. IF you are searching for Phone, Wireless, or Internet services you should run as fast and as far away as you can from AT&T. They are a terrible company that keeps buying up competitors to replace them with degraded services at a premium price. Just don't do business with them if you can avoid it at all.

    After seeing a commercial on TV that I could get iPhone 17 Pros for both me and my wife for FREE. I called customer service and spoke to an AT&T employee that confirmed that that was correct. All I had to do was pay the taxes on the phones and return our current 13. I did everything he asked and ordered the phones. He also stated that we would be paying the same price as we were paying on our iphone 13. Guess what? When we got our first bill, it showed that we were paying for the new Phones.

    I called customer service again and got to speak to a rep, a supervisor, a resolution person and guess what. They basically said that I lied. Nothing was done to fix the problem and I am stuck paying for two FREE phones. I spoke to AT&T employee on a phone that was being recorded by them and they could listen to what he said to confirm my concern. What a bunch of bull. A loyal customer get no justice. I will give a great review to any of my friends and family to use them again..

    I had a very bad experience with AT&T and feel completely misled. Before switching my service from AT&T to T-Mobile, I contacted AT&T and was told I would receive a $1,500 credit to help cover my remaining balance if I transferred my lines to another carrier. Based on that promise, I decided to leave AT&T. As part of the process, I also returned two iPhones valued at about $2,700 to AT&T. I followed all instructions and was told everything would be properly credited.

    After I completed the switch, AT&T never gave me the promised $1,500 credit. When I called to ask about it, they told me the credit would only be issued if I came back to AT&T service. This was never explained to me before I switched, and it completely contradicts what I was originally told. Because of AT&T’s incorrect and misleading information, I:

    • Changed carriers based on false promises
    • Returned two expensive phones
    • Never received the credit I was guaranteed

    • Lost a large amount of money

    I relied on AT&T’s statements in good faith, and they failed to keep their word. Customer service has been unhelpful and no one has taken responsibility. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone after this experience.

    I have had AT&T, formerly known as BellSouth, or Southern Bell, for many years. I recently had to fire them and what an unpleasant experience it has been. I had the internet and have a landline (yep old school to run my security system and so I would have phone service despite adverse weather conditions) and finally had to get rid of my internet service because it just did not work well and I must have connectivity because am a tech support person. When I could get through to a real person, they were not very helpful.

    I canceled the ‘service’ in November, sent back the equipment, and then the fun began! They kept billing me. I called, I wrote, I did everything except send a carrier pigeon and nothing worked. They finally admitted that my service was canceled and that they would credit the money back to me. I still have my landline and instead of putting the credited amount against that bill, they are sending me a check. Supposedly. We shall see!

    I have been an AT&T customer for about 3 weeks now. We switched over from Verizon which is way overpriced but at least their calls work most of the time. I have called AT&T 3 times now been cut off once and not called back even though the CS rep had an alternative callback number for me. AT&T is not interested in doing any in depth work to troubleshoot problems. I have been in telecom for 30 years and know how to troubleshoot calling issues. They don't want to take the time to look at why failed calls fail. They just want to give you an excuse and an easier alternative instead to get you off the phone.

    AT&T is the world’s worst organization. I have spent over 40 hours trying to achieve what is a new sale for them, but with the discounts promised, to no avail. I have been a loyal customer paying through the nose for over 20 years here in Santa Rosa, CA. I should switch cell companies but haven’t due to 5 phone lines across the country and the disruption that would cause. However I’ve realized I need to change.

    My story is too long to tell but I would love to hear from an AT&T person who actually cares about customer experience so I can explain my terrible experience that has cost me an incredible about of time and money both. I still haven’t achieved adding a new line and phone to my account. It took four separate attempts at adding an authorized user; it just kept getting undone, over and over. No one can explain why. I was told by corporate that we had to go into a store to get the physician discount and so we did.

    We were told in the store down in Santa Rosa Ave here in Santa Rosa CA (the store that claims to be the “corporate store”) that we had to open a FirstNet account to get the discount and that the normal physician discount was no longer available. That turned out to be a lie by that store’s manager. Now I spent over three hours on the phone, working with a fellow named Chris, who really helped me, and issued a quote for the new line, discounts, and we even chose the new phone number. But as usual, the call dropped and he didn’t call back.

    The new agent I’m now on hold with can’t see the old quote and suddenly the discounts are gone and he can’t see that a phone or phone number was chosen - he can’t see any of the work we spent three hours on except for adding me back in as an authorized user again. AT&T told us we had to make my husband the authorized user of the account to get a discount. So I did that. But now all the 20+ years we have with AT&T suddenly don’t count and we don’t qualify for discounts because the account is too new.

    You do a disservice to us no matter which way we turn AT&T. You are beyond expensive and make getting anything done beyond painful. It’s not ok that you sent me a quote with a discounted plan that gave me a free IPhone 17Air (except sales tax), no activation fee, and that you then have no record of that quote on your side when the call drops and you don’t call me back and I call back to try to pick up where I left off, for hour number four. Why does it take so long to get what is actually a sale for you done?! You are the Most Maddening organization and I am now determined to leave you after 20+ years of 5 lines. You will be sorry. Though I know you actually don’t care - that much is obvious. The only talk you’ll understand is when I walk. Coming up soon.

    After 26 years of loyalty to ATT, I made the decision today, 2/2/26 to switch providers to save an incredible amount of money for far better service. I was tired of ATT spotty coverage and what I was paying month-over-month. Insult to injury, I made the transition on the first day of the billing period and found out that ATT is going to bill me for one more month!!! This was probably buried in my contract, but after 26 years of loyalty, they couldn't waive this requirement. What a horrible company and I'm ashamed that I supported them for over a quarter of a century! My advice, avoid ATT at all costs!

    AT&T talked us into a family plan switch from Verizon (who we've been with for over 30 years). We we were told by the sales rep, that we would save $45.00 on our bill a month, get $1000.00 back in gift cards, that we could use anywhere, and we would get 4 new I-Phones. When we got the phones, I called about a question and the customer service rep activated 3 of the phones (which I didn't want her to do) after she did that, we couldn't get them turned on for hours. None of us had phone service. It took another 5 hour on the phone with technical support, to get the phones to at least turn on.

    Then on day 3, we were told that the deal we were offered by the original sales agent, wouldn't be honored and we would actually be paying $40.00 more a month on monthly our bill!. So on the 4th day, we ended up switching back to our original carrier. Now we have send the new phones from AT&T back (at our own expense) and pay the restocking fees. That's going to cost us more money for NOTHING! What a MESS! Poor business practice. This whole experience lasted 4 days, it was a total nightmare!

    Also, the sales rep who originally sold us the deal got screwed. She was very nice and help us through everything the whole 4 days. She had her name taken off the whole order (by a customer service rep) who we were talking to with to fix issues about one of the phones. That's so unprofessional and backstabbing! Never again, will I get sucked into this bait and switch game from any phone company again. I'll stick to my original carrier from now on! My original carrier ended up giving us a great deal with new phones too, when they took us back. Old saying goes... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Lesson learned.

    Unless the price you're quoted can't be beat, don't switch. I signed up for internet (NO problems with the internet switch) and also moved my phone number over to AT&T (kept my existing phone). It took two days to get my AT&T number to work on my new phone. Hours and hours on BOTH days spent with online chat (clueless) and on the phone being transferred to multiple departments. Now it's finally working, but they can't see my account until the phone bill is generated. Which means I can't change my voicemail code until they show I have an account with them.

    Online sign in made me change my passcode, now it won't recognize the new code. Calls are going to voicemail but I can't do squat about them. Now I find out I'll be getting two separate bills. Really AT&T? If Spectrum can figure out how to give me one combined bill, why can't you? Seriously. Do not switch your phone service unless you're quoted a really, really, really good deal AND you are getting a new number and phone from them. I wish I'd never switched from Spectrum.

    I had an old iPhone 12 and in December 2025 upgraded to an iPhone 17 and was told my bill would increase by $12.00. My bill this month was $194.34 and it was formerly $130.58. The new phone somehow triggered $30 of additional data usage which I did not incur and the cost of the new phone was $22 per month higher than the AT&T salesman told me it would be. I'm on hold now and have been talking to AT&T for 30 minutes prior to this. The AT&T agent I talked to told me that if I was over 55 and took their Internet service he could get my bill down a little. Told him no way and I'm on hold waiting to talk to someone else. I'm going to just buy out my phone and cancel AT&T as they have become a bunch of crooks. Also, I did not receive a receipt from the salesman.

    They talked us into an internet connection that did not work. Then gave us a lot of grief to return it. They talked us into a new phone, then locked it even after it was paid off. They would not let us talk to an agent, phone calls just looped back to the menus. Gave us phone numbers that were not in service. Store personal said they could not take payments and could not unlock our phone even though it was approved by them. Everyone we talked to was snotty and dismissive. Do not go to this provider! We went Spectrum, and are very happy with them.

I went into it thinking that it was going to be a headache like every other phone call to major corporations, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Mr. ** out of the Atlanta branch was the first person I’ve ever spoken to when dealing with these companies that was actually genuine. He walked me through everything and I was switched over swiftly.

    I have been calling AT&T for the past 2 months, asking them to disconnect my hotspot. Every time I call in, they transfer me to a manager, who then hangs up. So now I owe money for services that were supposed to be disconnected, since AT&T says they are suspended, so I would have to pay a balance. Then I asked to speak to someone else, and of course, she disconnected the call. As a 100% disabled veteran that operates a small nonprofit, AT&T is bad business.

    They are incompetent and they are crooks. They came to my door and got me to transfer to them by offering to pay off my phone, they then screwed up the rewards entry during the transfer. Then by I got someone to figure out what actually happened and that the reward was submitted under a different phone number I was outside the grace period to get the reward (which by the way they say you should get the card in 6-8 weeks which means that by the time you realize something is wrong, you're conveniently outside the window resubmit for a new card). Contacted my initial POC who roped me into this whole scam and he ghosted me. The main reason I transferred was because of this offer and they didn't even follow through.

    AT&T is HORRIBLE! I was a faithful customer for years, and they were charging me much more on my lines than Verizon, so I switched in September 2025. Yet somehow they had continued to bill me even until January 2026. They said that I had a watch on my line (that they did not cancel when I switched). Why would anyone volunteer to pay $80 a month for a watch line? And they said that they would refuse to give back the money that they took in Oct, Nov, and Dec because I should have canceled the watch line. I never authorized a watch line and it never showed up on my account as a separate line, so how would I cancel something that was not evident when I went to MyAT&T? They did not want to give me any information about how to file a complaint or grievance. And the person on the line had the nerve to try to sell me something else. I am SO done with AT&T, I will never use them again. Such corporate greed...

After not receiving the reward card that I was supposed to receive, I began a fruitless attempt to find out why I hadn't received the card. I paid T-Mobile $650.00 to get out of the contract. After multiple calls to ATT, I still don't have it. They Took my iPhone 16 plus and gave me a iPhone 15.

    After all the lying and dishonesty I decided to cancel. I was then informed that I would have to return the I phone 15 back to them so I did but was told that I wouldn't get my phone back that they took. I now have no gift card and no phone.

    I decided to purchase my son a phone. Fairly simple. I went to AT&T.com, picked out the phone, selected a plan and paid. I am thinking all is well until I go into my email and see "canceled order. We couldn't verify if this purchase was you". I called customer support. The 1st time I got connected dude put me on hold and hung up. Second time I was told "Oh yeah, you're supposed to input your gov.id information in during checkout. SOMETIMES the website doesn't ask people to do that but that's why the order canceled".

    I was so annoyed. Who developed the website to sometimes take government ID to verify a person??? And even still, it isn't a good fraud method if that's what AT&T wanted to stop. Nevertheless, I told the lady, "this phone is a present for Christmas for my son. What can we do?" Rep responds, "We will run ANOTHER soft inquiry into your credit." Another???? You mean AT&T continues to check your credit, everything and not have it on file? You mean to tell me no one had my initial credit inquiry? I respond, ok. We place a second order with a ported number. Guess what??? That order gets stuck. Guess how I find out? Checking the status.

    Again, I have to call AT&T and deal with their revolving door ivr. I get a rep on the line. The rep says, "If the number doesn't port, we can't send the phone". What the he**? I have bought Walmart phones with no numbers and all you do is activate and port. Why is AT&T so difficult? Again, we have to cancel due to number being ported being stuck. Again someone says, "We can run your credit." Everything they do this they fail to mention that your AT&T score goes down. Yes, you have an AT&T score even though AT&T is checking your credit "softly" as they say. I said, "No just cancel everything". This was such a headache and then to add injury to insult, the reps tried to sell me AT&T internet. If y'all can't process a cell phone order and explain things thoroughly, why the he** would I want internet with y'all??????
