    I have an AT&T Go Phone, I love it but the service isn't that great. I can't use it in my house so I have to have a landline, kinda stinks. Don't have cellular service most of the time.

    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.

    Sometimes the system forgets passwords. They are real helpful in helping you reset your password but every rep does not know everything. You sometimes have to talk to more than one person. Also, they should give better discounts to long time customers.

    Supposed to be high speed, but never gets to 20 Mbps and loses signal strength frequently. Is bundled with TV and phone because the TV is too expensive on its own. At least once a week, must reset the router and printer. Tiresome dealing with the automated service techs.

    We own a small family restaurant in Los Angeles and we've been having issues with our VoIP and U-verse internet since 2012. Connection gets lost at least once a month and happens so frequently that all of our employees have the service number written down. We utilize the internet for our POS system and telephone lines. Imagine how chaotic it becomes when the internet goes down.

    Just recently on Tuesday, our phone lines went down again. Repair services were unable to come until the next afternoon. I checked our online account and noticed that we have already had 36 missed calls. This is extremely financially damaging to a restaurant with multiple competitors nearby. In the meantime, I requested that all calls be forwarded to my personal cell phone. I repeated my cell phone number and had him repeat it back to me. He assured me that all calls would be forwarded to my cell phone. Since I did not like the idea of using my personal cell phone, I desperately went to T-Mobile and easily purchased a cell phone with a SIM card for business use. I went online at www.smb.att.com and forwarded calls to the temporary cell phone number.

    Lo and behold, the very next morning at 5am, I began to receive multiple calls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and nearby areas. In the course of several hours, I received 29 calls from Baton Rouge. I also received multiple voicemails from patients requesting appointments, medications, and callbacks. I decided to investigate myself and called back one of the patients. He stated that he was looking for Kevin **. A quick internet search showed that Kevin ** was a dentist located in Baton Rouge. I immediately called their number and realized that their phone line was down, based upon the same message I got when attempting to call our own family business.

    Luckily, they had an email address and I got in contact with an employee at their office named Kim. She confirmed that their phone lines were down for the last few days and she was attempting to fix the issue with guess who, AT&T. The agent from the night before had forwarded ALL the calls from not my business, but from Kevin ** dental office to my personal cell phone. I continued to keep in contact with Kim and she stated that AT&T had resolved the issue. Not only was this incredibly irritating, AT&T must be violating some sort of patient privacy laws. I have names of patients in my voicemail box.

    Now the next day, a repair man showed up and stated, "This is a connection issue. The agent has put in a wrong order form. You will need to place a fix order issue." He did nothing and left. I called AT&T again, and asked for a proper repair order. He stated that the best he can do is Saturday, Sept 2. It's now been 5 days without our number working.

    I was beyond angered and decided to switch my business phone lines back to analog for reliability. The sales representative had the nerve to offer me multiple promotional offers such as DirecTV and wireless service. Without my permission, the sales agent attempted to upgrade my internet service to 100mbps, 3 times during our conversation. I had to keep reminding her that she did not have my permission to upgrade my internet services but she continued to make statements such as, "Okay, so I have you set up for two regular phone lines at $60 each with an additional $10 for long distance calls for a total of $140 and will be putting your internet services at 100mbps." What? NO! I said "NO! I DO NOT WANT increased internet speeds, I need a connection to even have that work!"

    She then assured me that analog phone service will be serviced within 5-7 days. I desperately requested that they issue it faster as the call forwarding feature was not reliable and still dropping many calls. This restaurant is our family's bread and butter and we were losing customers on a daily basis because our phone lines were disconnected. As I was transferred to another third party to confirm my new service order, the connection was lost. I had to call back only to find that the order confirmation number did not exist. I was transferred two more times until they were able to locate my previous order by a record locator number. I had to deal with the annoyance of speaking to yet another sales agent that tried to sell me on more services that I refused.

    Why do they ask for permission to offer promotional prices? Because even if I refuse and say NO, they continue to haggle me with sales pitches. At the end of the conversation, I confirmed again if a service tech will contact me within 5-7 days to change our phone lines back to analog. I was reassured again that there was a note to expedite if possible but won't be later than 7 days. I called AT&T last night to confirm, and they have scheduled me for September 14. That's 16 days, not 5-7. That will mean that my business phone line has been down for more than two weeks. I have asked the agent why I was initially lied to and he could not answer me. I also requested that I speak to a supervisor who can listen to the recordings of the promised 5-7 day window, and he said no such supervisor was available.

    AT&T, I certainly hope that karma catches up to your deceitful practices. You have been nothing more than trouble and a waste of my time and money. I really wish that I didn't have to utilize your services, but Verizon does not service the area that our family business is in and you pretty much have monopolized this region.

    I do not enjoy speaking to "virtual person" when you first call AT&T. It is annoying and always you are sent to speak with a real person. Also, I was attracted to AT&T because it had a nice bundle with DirecTV. What is so disappointing is that is takes 3 months before you see everything bundled on your bill. Until then, it is so confusing. I feel that AT&T lures you in but prices go up drastically after the promotion ends. There is not sufficient communication to remind the customer. Overall AT&T is overpriced.

    The service is getting from bad to worse from the beginning of 2016 till today, I've not been able to obtain more than three bars of signal strength for many months now, regardless of the zone or area in Miami. I've been around many different areas all over Miami and I only get either a two bars signal strength or one bar. Many times I've found myself with no service at all. I'm considering switching to any other provider now. I've been with AT&T for many years because even as it was the more expensive cell phone service provider, the quality and strength of their signal was always good. Well, that now is just part of the past.

    Description of Complaint: I purchased iPhone 7's and got 4 FREE iPads in October of last year from a Desmond!!! I'm VERY UNHAPPY with the Dawsonville Hwy AT&T store. I have been contacting him each month for him to credit my account to no avail!!! He's only did a $100 credit that I was told the supervisor had to do. And now Savanah the supervisor says she knows nothing about. He Just keeps hanging me on. So now I have $232.41 that a manager finally credited me over email. On my 4th attempt to go to the store personally because each time there was no supervisor available!!! I spoke to a Savanah which informed me that she could only do $40 until after the first of the month which is ridiculous!!! And that Desmond which is no longer there evidently has been fired had told me a lie that these IPADS were FREE!!! At the time I didn't want these which his (spiel) included that they would ALWAYS be free!!!

    I have pages and pages of text messages with him. I'm so unhappy with customer service!!! It's like as long as I'm buying they are more than willing to help. But when it comes to getting credits I'm just dismissed!!! I've been a AT&T customer for a very long time and never have I been JERKED around like I am now. I will be checking on a different provider! I don't have time to keep trying to accomplish NOTHING each time I speak to someone new to no help at all!!!

    Now the 3rd attempt to get this issue of them saying I'm responsible for the next year of my 2 year contract charges. No one in customer services is able to help me get these charges removed. Not only have they not admitted Desmond lied but AT&T had been removing these charges each month for a year to prove they were sold for FREE. Now they say the mistake should be on me for half the contract. These iPads are useless!!! If I have a 2 year contract that they have painfully honored over the first year. It should be impossible for AT&T not to honor the remaining year. No matter what a AT&T representative tells you ALWAYS consider it a lie!!!

    I needed to separate out a phone from my normal service. I talked to a rep who told me that a single line (I own my own phone) would run about 75 for 3 GB data. He then went on to say that I could go for unlimited data for 90/month and DirecTV at 35/month. Good deal right? DirecTV came and installed the dish (great guy), and a week later, I received a bill for 105.00. I called immediately, and was told that it would take 2 or 3 billing cycles to get the right price on DirecTV.

    Not having much confidence in the ATT Rep, I called again and got someone that seemed to be looking out for me, and trying to get me the best deal. First off, there is no plan (with insurance) that would run 90/month. It just doesn't exist! The closest plan I could get was 105 to 125 (different ATT reps could not seem to agree on what that price should be). She then sold me a single line for 73/month. This however, would not reduce my DirecTV bill.

    5-1/2 hours later, after transfer after transfer, dropped calls, through out the world (a couple of the folks could barely speak legible English) I supposedly got to the highest level at the customer loyalty. The 3 people I spoke to there were adamant that they could do nothing about the DirecTV bill that I'm now liable for at 69/month. I continued to ask for the next level of management and was told this was it, the highest I could go. I kept insisting that it was an ATT rep that sold me the lie, and they should make it right.

    They were adamant that there was nothing they could do. I am now on the hook for the very expensive TV service for 2 years. 2 Years really? At a price I never agreed to? I am now in the process of taking my business from ATT to Sprint. 40/month, no contracts, unlimited data/text. Of course, it couldn't be easy. I needed ATT to unlock my phone, and the normal internet process was not working. That was another 1-1/2 hours to get it resolved. ATT Customer Service is the worst I've yet to experience. ATT, you have lost a 10 year loyal customer. I know this doesn't matter much to the giant, but if you have this many unsatisfied customers, it will surely start to matter. Think Sears. They shafted their customers on the appliance warranties -- I have never done business with them after that.

    We have been ATT customer for past 12 years and have 4 lines with the company. I called in to discuss data plan features we have and the price and what Verizon wireless is offering for the same amount of money. I was transferred to loyalty department to discuss more where I would expect to discuss how we can make this happen in decent manner. Instead the representative names Terriant ** started off by saying "We do not match any other carrier's deals" without even looking up my account.

    After that I started explaining the situation and he interrupted few times by saying that's not going to happen. He mentioned further on how ATT plan is technically better as you can talk, text, watch video & use navigation at the same time. I am in tech by profession and know when someone does not know single thing about technology, this was the guy. Some of the sentences he said to me during our conversation "We do not let customer dictate how we run our business, some customers will go but we will get some more". He constantly interrupted and never really tried to understand the situation, which is the basis of customer service. I asked for manager and he said we do not have any and he will transfer me to billing. If this the model AT&T want to follow for their customer service, I would rather pay more to some other company who actually values their customers. According to him, they can survive without decent customer service.

    I purchased an Iphone with unlimited data many years ago. AT&T wanted me to buy this and agreed to unequivocal unlimited data. Ever since that time they have tried to unethically deal with all the consumers who bought in to those plans. Now they are over burdened with new "unlimited data" plans and completely unethically cutting services to prior customers who signed on for "unlimited data". They are liars and not to be trusted due to their poor ethics and unjust business practices. If you are considering them for "unlimited data", reconsider that decision.

My phone is set to switch to available WiFi when in the zone.

Good way to get me off their backs. I am thinking of going to a Federal agency like FCC. Can Consumer Affairs file a case for me?

    Had issues with my phone and took it into the AT&T store. The rep took my phone, replaced the sim card and wiped out all of my clients data! He then proceeded to walk around for part of the day with my sim card in his pocket. When I discovered the catastrophe, he claimed to have already destroyed the sim card. It was a huge problem for me.

    AT&T provides a good service with excellent reception (for my area). I constantly was dropped with T-Mobile. However, they promised me $99 credit on my DirecTV bundle months ago at sign-up. We like the DirecTV with the package but they have not delivered yet. I've gone through a maze of support numbers and online chat to no avail. The only other real complaint I have is that the monthly bill is fairly high and if we (family of 4) goes over the allotted data they tack on an extra GB at $15 cost with no opting out. It should just cut off your data if you go over. It's hard to control when you have children on the plan. Their unlimited plan is much higher than I need to pay.

Trying to get to the right person that can help you, on hold for an extraordinarily long time only to be disconnected. I've had to call back several times in an effort to get resolution, tried to get through to a supervisor, they're too busy but will call you back, the callback never happens.

I planned to visit my parents in Cuba and I was wondering if can I use my iPhone in Cuba on the same way I use it here in USA.

    This man told me that if I pay $10 per day I can use my phone in Cuba, I told him I want to pay $40 'cause I gonna stay 4 days over there. I flown to there, used my phone and when I came back to USA the bill for that month was for the sum of $1290 because the guy in the store lied to me so bad. Of course I refused to pay that and on next month, ATT cuts off my phone service and obligate me to pay $977 for they reinstall my phone service. I recommend to the people having service with them or thinking it that review another choices because gonna have a bad and not sweet experience.

    I've been with ATT for 20 years and the service I received on the 25th and 26th was horrific. Whenever I was transferred to the loyalty department they were far from apologetic and not sincere. Instead they were cold and didn't want to provide information like the manager's name. There is a lack of service and empathy with AT&T Loyalty Department. A simple sorry would've sufficed, or try to care when you're faced with the possibility of losing a customer of 20 years. Isn't that the point of the Loyalty Department? To try to resolve and retain the customer?

    Issue: Called in to find out promos for adding a new line. Was given a promo by the sales manager, then the rep said she couldn't enter it and said she would call me back. She called back to say she can't enter the order with the promo given by her manager because I needed to get DirectTV, I said no thanks and that was the end of the call.

    2 hours later her manager CALLED ME and said he was sorry, but he COULD enter the order without DirectTV and it was approved, transferred me back to the rep to enter the order. She entered the order and somehow created 3 additional phone lines for me, instead of just ONE line and didn't even enter the promo. I understand she was new, that was clear from the start, so I decided to call them back to fix it.

    I called back to speak to them to get this resolved and of course, the other reps didn't know how to get me back to the center that placed the order and sent me to Loyalty instead. I was speaking with someone who seemed to be helpful, then she accidentally disconnected the call. I waited 5 mins for a callback and when she didn't I called back in hopes of getting her. Since I couldn't get through to her, I spoke to a manager in the loyalty department and was told she would call me back in 20 minutes after she figures this out. 2 Hours later when she didn't call me I called in again... was told to just leave the order, it will auto cancel.

    At 11pm that night, got an email saying there was changes made to my account. So the next morning I called the loyalty dept again in hopes of figuring out what email was sent and rep said the order shipping. I said HOW? I didn't accept the terms... She said one item will be shipped. I requested her manager, he finally came on the phone and told me to go into the order and decline the terms. I asked for HIS manager's name. He said he can't provide that. I even requested a callback, he said I would have to wait 72 hours for a manager to return my call! I said that's absurd, you're IN the loyalty department and I can't speak with someone to resolve all this? He said no just decline the order.

    I hung up, went to the email to DECLINE the terms and conditions, however it says there's an ERROR with the order, so I can't even decline the terms! I called back and was advised just leave it, if I don't accept the terms and conditions on the new lines, it will auto cancel. I asked if I could file a complaint, she said yes I could, but without them knowing the locations of the call centers it's going to be difficult. I thanked her for being honest and we got off the phone.

    In 20 years, I've never experienced such horrible customer service, especially from the Loyalty Department - they seem to have attitudes, they're rude and honestly don't care about retaining a customer. Regular customer service was much more sympathetic, but said they had to transfer me to loyalty to resolve the issue. I mean you can't explain to me how all this got messed up? You couldn't offer to find a way to enter another order and fix the issue? What is wrong with you people? Why are there such long hold times to speak with a manager anyway? Are you really saying there are so many angry customers there's a 72 hour waiting period?

    HEY LOYALTY DEPT - A SIMPLE "SORRY YOU'VE EXPERIENCED THIS" WOULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER! Your lack of service just cost you a customer of 20 years. I explained I wasn't happy and wanted to leave and was told - ok you can go ahead to Verizon! Are you joking? What's the purpose of the loyalty department?

    I moved all 3 of my lines to Verizon plus added an additional line. Their price matched AT&T's as well. While at the Verizon store, 2 other people were there moving from AT&T to Verizon and we shared some pretty scary stories of their horrible customer service. It's just really sad when companies don't know how to appreciate a customer. I just wanted an apology for the trouble and the order fixed, not for anyone to tell me "cancel the order". Not ONE rep offered to fix the order, replace it or anything.

The only time that I called AT&T customer service was to discuss my bill and the fact that I was using more minutes for several months in a row and wondered if I had adequate minutes in my package considering my rollover minutes were being used up. The agent gave me 5000 more rollover minutes and I didn't have to increase my voice minutes because that would last me a very long time. I frankly want to keep my unlimited data package that the other companies are not offering to their customers.

    Every month I have a problem with AT&T. They say something and don't do it. They don't write things down. One says something and another person says something else. Some are so rude. I've been with them over 10 years and I get treated like garbage. Every month my bill is different. Something is either added on or disappears. This time they really messed up. My husband has a phone for three months then it started not holding a charge so I called them up explain to the lady on the phone what was going on. She tell me to look over the phone make sure there is no physical damage which there was none. She tell me she will send a new phone and then I send back the old one which I did. Then I get my bill. I know it is a $349 charge for phone. I call up again and again and again explaining the situation and all they tell me is it's not covered under warranty because the pins inside one of them is bent.

    Now to look at that you need a magnifying glass because all inside but that was not the problem. The phone was charging but not holding a charge and how to be the battery or a defect on the phone but no they said it was because the pin bent. I explain to them that wasn't a problem. I think you're going on about the pin so they told me I should have my whole phone. I said I never got anything so I had to call my post office and told them I said they delivered it and it never came. It's lost. Now I must've talked to 10 different people and T in 10 different departments and no one could help me and just kept saying it's not under warranty because of the pin. They took pictures of the phone with an arrow pointing to the pin. There's no way you could see it so I don't know what they're doing. I just don't understand a big company like that treats a person in with them over 10 years.

    Now my bill is $840. I don't know what to do. I'm paying payments on the phone. Now I have to pay for the old phone so now I'm paying for two phones and since they combined with DirecTV everything went to hell. Somebody is changing things on my account and taking HBO off putting HBO on taking my unlimited. Now I know I have a passcode on there. I think that somebody on AT&T when I get mad. When you talk to them they mess up your account. That's the only way it could happen cause they're already in it is and have your passcode. I get so stressed out from them when I talk to my doctor about them he said "You get sick from them." That's how upset they get me. 95% of those people on the phone have no knowledge of the company because they don't know what they're talking about. I don't know how to help some of foreigners that have accents I don't understand. It is just so frustrating and not fair. I wish I can go to a different phone company.

    I live out far in the country. Service from them is really bad. Get a lot of drop calls but that's the only option I have at this time. They really need to train their people better and I just want to talk to the corporate office nobody has a number for that. When you ask them their name they give you a first name never their last name so when you tell the next person you talk to who you talk to they say there's thousands of people you talk to so whatever last name don't know. And they're famous words. "Don't worry at the end of this call you will be happy." Why are there of a famous words is I understand what you're going through ** at the end of the call I'm ripping my hair out of my head.

If you ever have a problem, just call them and they are really good about fixing any issues you have. My only problem with them is how slow their data speeds are once you go over your initial data limit. I pay almost $200 a month for two phone lines and service on my iPad. And only get 6 gigs of data between the three. You can increase your monthly data or even get unlimited data (for an outrageous price) but my bill is too expensive as it is for me to increase my monthly data limit.

    I'm always at home on my wifi to help conserve my data for the month but 6 gigs goes by very quick! The pricing for data need to be changed to something more reasonable. Once you go over your data you might as well turn your phone off til your next cycle cause it's a useless paper weight. A very expensive one at that! I have never wanted to switch phone companies since I've been with them but this slow internet will drive you crazy! You can't do anything on the internet or apps. Forget trying to look up that address or play your favorite song on Pandora/Spotify.

So I then asked to cancel my order to this "free" phone with AT&T, well for some reason it was not able to be cancelled because the order had already been processed and I had to wait for it to be delivered and I was told to return it. Well I DID! I used the return label they provided for me to use, USPS took take of it and the tracking information says it was "tendered to return agents" which would be Newgistics. I then try to track the package with Newgistics.

    This is now April 10th, 2017 when it was "picked up" from newgistics at the USPS office, come to find out the tracking number is not recognized with Newgistics. I contact them and they tell me they do not have any record of that package. So I tell them, USPS tracking information indicates the package was given to them on April 10th 2017, I am told to contact USPS. I do, yet again and I am sent back and forth from USPS to Newgistics. I am at a dead end because neither companies have the package and neither companies can further assist me.

During that call another case was opened up to further this investigation to find out where this phone had mysteriously vanished to and again I was told I would be contacted and yet again I was not contacted! During this whole time I am stuck paying this "free" phone that was never "free" from the very beginning, every month since this phone and new phone line was added to my acct.

    I have been paying AT&T, I have been giving them my money into a scam they lured me into and when I returned their phone they so happened to have never received it and the tracking number that they provided in their shipping label is no good anymore after USPS handed to Newgistics. And I am stuck paying for a phone that is not in my possession, I am stuck paying for something I returned using the return label AT&T themselves provided me to use and I am stuck giving them my money!

    After many years as a wireless customer I decided to close my account and transfer my two phones to another provider thus saving about $120/month! The new provider told me what to do to do the transfer. ATT customer service on the other hand was abysmal. It took me TWO weeks of endless hours on the phone, morning and evening (until 9 PM - that is when they all shut down!) of relentless detective work on my end -- and I nearly broke down and gave up -- to finally snatch back my phones and get them unlocked. I had to walk the walk of being on hold forever, having the lines dropped, being connected to the wrong departments (because ATT tampered with my account cancelling my long time regular account and transforming it for a reason that escapes me entirely into a prepaid account so no one could figure where my information was and under which account!).

    This has been a horror show and a two week torture session. I got lucky to speak to a rep who happened to be seated next to someone who knows how to unlock phones! Can you believe it? Bottom line is: I do not blame the reps. They are very poorly trained and most of them do the best they can with the little they have to work with. I blame ATT -- the company is responsible for the service it delivers to its customers -- it is responsible for training its employees, for ensuring customer satisfaction vs the abuse and torture I went through for two weeks. I am sure they could not care less about what former customers like me think but I am writing this to alert people out there to stay away from the ATT nightmare.

    AT&T/DIRECTV are running a scam whereby you sign a 2 year contract for a set price, then after 13 months the price is increased. They will tell you that you agreed to a price hike after 12 months of service if you did not add a second AT&T service. Of course they can provide NO document showing that I agreed to any such thing. This is a scam dreamed up by AT&T's attorneys. You will note that their computer gave me the discount for 13 months, not just the 12 months that they stated. Their customer service people (call center people) are ill trained and, for the most part, poorly educated. I guess that's what you get for minimum wage. AT&T AND ITS OPERATING UNITS ARE THE NEW COMCAST!!

    I live mostly outside of the states and last year when I came back for 3 months during the summer I needed to buy a phone. I went into the AT&T store and when they asked me what I needed help with I told them, "I need a phone that can be unlocked because I live in Australia and cannot be attached to a plan here and will be moving back there in 2 months" - I stated this SEVERAL times. Without hesitating they walked over to a shelf and handed me a phone and said that all I had to do was pay the first month with AT&T and then call them and the phone could be unlocked.

    WELL... a month later I called to have it unlocked and was informed that no, I could not have it unlocked unless I had had it 6 months. When I got angry because I had been blatantly lied to, I passed from person to person. I demanded to talk to someone who actually knew something and basically it came down to the fact that they could do nothing. They didn't care that someone in THEIR store sold me a phone that I could not use now and that I would end up going to Australia and be phoneless.

    So now I have a $300 phone that is useless to me because I refuse to pay 4 months for a plan that I cannot use because I am living outside of the country. This company is the worst - they lied, they did not offer me any helpful solutions, and they did not care that they caused me so much extra stress. Because I could not afford to buy another phone my brother gave me his old one so that I would not end up in another country with no means to communicate. I would NEVER use AT&T and have told all my friends and family the same.

    I made a wrong move by switching from another carrier to At&t. I thought their service was better but I was wrong. First, their customer service knows almost nothing on how to explain their billing statement. I spent a lot of days and wasted so many hours of my time to get a realistic explanation on how they compute their charges but it seems like they are the only ones who could really understand how their company works. So I just decided to pay everything so I can get away from this company. I am a reasonable person but waiting for 2 months to get my final bill is the last draw. I should have listen to other people's warning regarding how they treat their customers and run their business. Now I’m a walking advocate to all my relatives and friends on not to trust a company such as At&t. Never again.

    They say You've been a "valued customer" since 2001 and then screw you over. I pity anyone that has to deal with AT&T! Be aware that changes to Internet, wireless or DirecTV can leave you with unauthorized changes on any of your other devices. What started out as simply requesting my current DSL line to connected to my new residence 6 ft away has been a nightmare. A phone representative said, "A Hotspot is the way to go and nothing will change on your bill. You will save $25 a month". My bill went from $142 to $438. I lost my cheaper data plan (only had on my phone) and was charged for a multi-line unlimited data plans on all 3 phones 2 of which were flip phones. One phone had not been used in almost a year and the other phone for my 90 year old mother.

    AT&T said it is an legitimate charge! Seriously! This was obviously done without authorization! They transfer from one department to another without anyone knowing how to resolve issues. 4 out of 5 of the representatives obviously can't understand English and I sure as hell couldn't understand them. They lie, lie and lie some more! They wasted hours of my life, as I waiting on hold, thinking it meant something to be a "valued customer". They screwed me out of my cheaper data plan I had for years saying it can't be reinstated. Now that regular monthly bill has gone to $223. This is what happens when you get to big AT&T/DirecTV. Goodbye AT&T. DirecTV you are next!

    AT&T has exceptionally horrible customer service. I switched from Verizon to AT&T because their prices were cheaper. I had been reasonably happy with AT&T until I had to call customer service to resolve an internet issue, which has not been resolved. After spending nearly an hour on the phone with not one customer service representative but FOUR (because I was transferred over and over) I finally just had to get off of the phone because I realized they were not going to fix my issue. The automated "man" at the beginning is such a waste of time because he cannot get you to the right representative and cannot understand what you are saying. It was a complete joke. Every person with whom I spoke was completely incompetent. AT&T train your people better. Though, Verizon was more costly they never gave me such problems as this place.

    I was with Sprint for 13 yrs, bought a home in the country and needed to switch carriers for better service. Went with AT&T because 2 yrs ago they still had contracts (I'm one that liked contracts). after 5 months I get notice my contract would be void due to them removing that option. so I go on to a regular plan, no big deal except when I signed up and switched, I was told I would be grandfathered into that agreement *lie #1... Then some how our monthly bills are never the same. We have unlimited plans and never use any added features that cost money. So call AT&T, they have no answers to why our bill fluctuates. They will look into it. Nothing ever changed. Bills still fluctuate.

    March 2017, we get email asking us to join the new unlimited plan and sign up for DirecTV, receive $100 gift card for setting up auto pay and $200 gift card for switching to DirectTV. Dustin at AT&T talked me into it, he was very convincing. "Your new bill combined will be $260 and we are going to give you 2 tablets for free, plus the $300 in gift cards and $50 total off your TV billing cost." *lie #2. Bill is $305-$312 a month (still fluctuates).*lie #3. No gift cards. *lie #4. Tablets aren't completely free (2 yr agreement plus $10 a month). I have been asking for 5 months now when I will get gift cards, all they do is transfer me to another person. I have 4 pages of notes of each call I made. I talked to over 11 different people. I was subjected to rude managers and supervisors that insisted AT&T never had that offer, then when I told them to look at their website to verify it... they would hang up on me.

    Long story shortened... After so many rude employees over the phone, crappy DirectTV reception, several lies... I'm done with AT&T... I cannot give my $$$ to a company that deceives customers. Sprint might not have been the best but I never got lied to and my bills were always the same. Sadly Sprint still has horrible service in my area so I'm leaving AT&T and trying one of the TOP 2 cellular companies listed for 2017.

    At face value the unlimited plan sounds great. Even the sales people are not well informed of the restrictions. Didn't realize it until I got my new bill that was suppose to be only $4 more, and was 58$ more. What they DON'T tell you is when you subscribe to the unlimited plan they take away your business discount. I was also told it was only 4$ more to add the hot spot. In reality it was $30+. Luckily when I called, Camden was very helpful, helping me to straighten it out and credited me the $58 after about 45 min. Lesson learned... AT&T remains a conniving company and the unlimited plan is no margin at all!!!

    HORRIBLE! New cust & NOT happy with their customer service. I have wireless & DirecTV thru AT&T. Received my FIRST paper bill & was told my accounts couldn't be combined for at least 2 months. Paid my DirecTV bill & attempted to pay my AT&T bill but every time I try to access my online account (via phone app, pc, laptop OR tablet) I always receive an AT&T error message. Called & was told I could pay my bill over the phone but would incur a $5 fee. Since it wasn't my fault I couldn't pay online they agreed they would go & charge it & credit it back next bill. So ok, no prob. Now I receive my SECOND separate bill from Directv but because I went paperless with AT&T I now only get their email notification telling me I can go online to view & pay. Tried to go online & ONCE AGAIN I CAN'T ACCESS THE ACCOUNT. Same error message.

    I called AT&T today 8/10/17 @ 10:53 am. Spoke to "Reggie" who took all my info & after ten + minutes of her "researching" she tells me she can't find my account. I told her I've only been a customer for approx 6 weeks & the only paper bill I have is from last month & has a different account number than shown in the email I received. She "researches" again & then my call is disconnected. She had my number, never called me back even though I waited, thinking the call was accidentally disconnected. Yeah right. Call#2 moments later meant more push button responses until I get to Andrew, who after a while tells me he can't help me because he works in the collection department & I'm not a collection account.

    Transfer to person #3, Lou who has a very heavy accent & I have difficulty understanding. It's now 11:14 am. Lou verifies that I now have a 2nd account number which is the combined billing account with Directv but goes on to tell me I have a past due amount from my 1st bill in the amount of 22.00. Not possible since I paid that entire bill in full & was even credited the $5 late fee (supposedly) on my August bill (which I can't see because I can't access my online account due to their technical error). After more "researching" she tells me she sees that this $22 is a billing error but she can't reverse it but she could transfer me to the dept that could.. She also tells me someone else will be able to rectify my online access issue. She transfers me to person # 4, Joy. After sharing my story a FOURTH time, Joy attempts to help me. She sees BOTH account numbers but says she doesn't work the mobile wireless accounts & needs to transfer me.

    Now we're on with person #5, Junior who assures me, after hearing my complaint about being the 5th person I've dealt with, that he will be the LAST person I need. NOT. Junior says the 20.00 charge isn't actually billed to me, just shown as a transfer from the 1st acct to combined billing (whatever??). Then he states my online access issue has to do with my DSL & he needs to transfer me as he doesn't work with the online access stuff. So much for being the last person I needed. I'm transferred to person # 6, Tristan @ 12:46, entire story all over again & he apologizes & says he can't help me & says I need someone else. Person #7 is Abraham who tells me I need the "Mobility Dept" and the 8th person who I was connected with hung up on me after having asked her to repeat her name 3 times because I couldn't understand her & of course no call back.

    I call back immediately & curse on the push button menu thingy at which point I was now speaking with person #9 Ombretta @ 1:22 pm in customer support. She help the most by transferring me to their "Web System" dept. Person #10 @ 1:38, was named Faith & was located in their "Digital Assistance Center". She ultimately advised me that after I just spent a total of almost 3 hours on the line with various people that a "web engineer" would need to resolve my issue & that she'd generate a ticket & someone would call me back with 24-48 hours. All the while all I want is to be able to see my online bill so I can pay it since I don't receive a paper one. And if AT&T doesn't believe this story they can access my friggin call log to verify.

I am so greatly disappointed with AT&T and the SERVICE THEY DO NOT provide. I demanded a refund (for paying for a service I never received or could use) from a supervisor named "Adrina" and she had the nerve to say that it must not have been that big of a problem since she sees that there was a month that I did not call and report and complain about the issue.

Now five years down the road I'm trying to lower the cost of this bill, so I called and told them I no longer needed the cellular data on my son's iPad and my tablet. This would lower my bill by $40. Well I called and the rep on the other end seemed very unpleasant until I mentioned something about cutting services.

    That's when the runaround began. Each time I got someone on the line they claimed I was in the wrong department and they would have to transfer me. I played this game for over an hour and finally hung up. I decided to ride over to the local store to take care of everything and lo and behold as soon as I told the little gal what I wanted to do she went and had a seat. Oh hell no! When the next rep asked if I was being helped I told him the little lazy heifer went and had a seat and he best have her come and take care of my matter. They both came over and immediately took care of my request. I dropped the data on those two devices and told them I was being overcharged on insurance I no longer needed. They knew not to argue with Ms. Monique and dropped the coverage. I will now be saving nearly $60 on my monthly bill. All in all I would not recommend AT&T to anyone. They stink!

I wrote in to their office of dispute because I was not going to pay for service that I didn't use.

    We visited the AT&T store in Selmer, Tennessee, and were quoted a four line wireless business plan with a free tablet for less than $100/month including taxes, etc. The representative told us that the tablet could be set up to be used as a phone; and, a number was assigned. The tablet never would accept or make telephone calls. An AT&T business customer representative attempted to set up the tablet from the business customer service office but failed. The representative communicated with AT&T service department and with us through twenty seven text messages without success. She even suggested that a supervisor meet with us to check the tablet for defects. We took the tablet to the local AT&T store, and, were told by a representative who claimed to be "district manager" that he could not help us--that we should contact the AT&T Business Office.

    Our first bill was $270.61 rather than the price quoted by the AT&T retail store. We were told for justification that the first bill is for two months--a month in advance. After jumping through hoops just to speak with a customer representative we were informed that the rates quoted by the AT&T representative were inaccurate. After holding the line for eight minutes to speak to a "business" representative, we were told that the only way to lower the bill would be to cancel the tablet line for a total savings of $12.00/month. Because the business telephone number had been given to prospective customers, we could not cancel the line. However, it is virtually of "0" benefit because the tablet could not be set up to make or receive telephone calls even though AT&T had provided "corrected" sims cards via UPS EXPRESS.

Goodbye AT&T. This consumer is done with the “We're sorry but there's nothing we can do to correct our errors.”

    In March 2017, after numerous issues with AT&T DSL service, we decided to change to U-Verse. BIG MISTAKE! AT&T representative came and connected the modem. One month ago, we lost service of internet for 8 days. A contractor cut the fiber optic line and it took AT&T 8 full days to reconnect. At the same time we complained that we had no phone line. Because we travel a fair amount and we mainly use the cell phones, we did not realize until later that our phone line had actually been disconnected. When I called complaining, the bill was paid, no reason for the disconnection, I found out that at the time of change from DSL to U-Verse, AT&T, changed our phone number. No one informed us. No mention of it until last week when I called. Moreover, AT&T continued charging me for the regular phone line that actually had been disconnected.

    July 5th bill for $135.85, July 15th bill for $193.48 for a line that was supposed to be switched to U-Verse. When they convince you to switch, they sell you the great savings you will get, not that I will end up with 2 phone lines, none of which works. When I called and complained, the representative from the Philippines office, refused to do anything, saying you have 2 lines coming to your house. And telling me I should have known??? AT&T false advertisement has to end. I am charged for 2 phone lines, but have had none for 4 months. I would appreciate someone to contact me. Thank you.

    Do not get roped into a contract with these people. My contract was for $90 a month 18 months ago. That amount lasted a year and I am left paying 170 a month the last 12 months of the contract for Tv that I don't even watch. They offer new promotions. But these are only available to new customers. Not people who have been with them for years. They are not loyal to any customers.

    If you call to complain about your bill and they offer you a new price they are lying. They told me months ago that my new bill will be "around" 107 per month because I called to complain about how much I have been paying. My bill never dropped and "they have no record of this phone call". My contract is up November 7th. I cannot wait to never deal with these people again. And if you have any service issues, no matter what you will be charged a minimum of $50 for someone to come and look at it.

    My 86 year-old father changed from Spectrum to AT&T DirecTV's $89 bundle deal only to be billed for almost $140 a month. He contacted them at least 7 times within 3 months and got the run-around. I live in another state so I took on this debacle. After 1.5 hours on the phone talking to 3 different people, no one was able to answer why there was such a discrepancy on his bill vs. the bundle offer. AT&T needs to be investigated since I just learned today from an AT&T rep, who realized she inadvertently ratted them out. DirecTv added channels my father didn't need without his permission. TCM is the most important channel to him and that was included in the $89 bundle. She offered to change the rate and give the basic channels, but I have told her to leave it the way it is since I'm reporting them to the FCC.

    I warned her that AT&T better not try to collect ANY penalty fee for breaking the contract since they are guilty of fraud. I will be submitting a complaint with FCC shortly and encourage others to do the same. Don't pay these bastards penalty fees, it's only encouraging their sleazy behavior. I don't know the "order" number requested. I only have an account number but will provide as much as possible while protecting my dad from identity theft. This has got to stop! This is elder abuse!

    My wife and I signed up for ATT with their switch program. I was assured it would be a easy switch from T-Moblie to AT&T. I would just need to submit my final bill for reimbursement. They asked me and my wife if we wanted to keep our old number or get new ones. My wife kept hers I picked a new one. Now after submitting my bill AT&T denied me and my wife's reimbursement because I picked a new number. I was on the phone for hours with customer service and they said they could do nothing and I would have to call the store.

    The guy at this store said all he could do is give me 100 bucks, and that I should call the other company that is responsible for the switch program. "Why I should I have to call another company when I signed up with AT&T is ridiculous to me". I called AT&T customer service back and after a few more hours on the phone finally got them to accept my wife's portion of the bill, mine is still "pending" I have to call back in about a week to see if they will honor it.

    So first impressions as a AT&T customer is the customer service so far is hot garbage. I was sitting at the table with these folks being sold and NO ONE told me that getting a new number was going to be a problem. If I had known it was going to cost me hours on the phone getting shuffled around transferred to automated message machines and potentially costing me hundreds of dollars I would have just kept my old number.

    So if you are going to sign up with them be very aware you may not be getting the whole story. These people will not go out of their way to warn you away from potential problems, and if you fall into a problem they defiantly are not going to do the call work for you to get it worked out, and you will probably spend hours on the phone playing the lottery. That is AT&T's customer phone support.

    AT&T's service area in Wisconsin is almost non-existent. Three friends (iPhone, Galaxy S6 and S8) have travelled extensively in Wisconsin. We have each discovered that 90 miles from the city of Milwaukee, ATT has no service - of the three, no one could make a phone call for five days. Their coverage maps indicate in that where we were located we should had access to data. But no one could even get 1x and certainly could not make a phone call.

    A partial list of cities with no service: Wisconsin Dells, Portage, Stevens Point, Baraboo, Sun Prairie, DeForest, Wautoma, Tomahawk and the list goes on. Suffice it to say at least 2/3 of the state has no service. I work in the middle of downtown Milwaukee and I can't even access Google Maps. I can't really say that what I have is a phone. Phones are usually associated with phone calls - more often than not, I do not have that capability. Except with my pre-paid Verizon Galaxy S5 which has saved my life (literally). At contract time I will change and be happy if I have to pay 3x as much as I pay for nothing.

    I requested a quote from AT&T for a business account in June. The sales rep that contacted me, Jeremiah **, got in touch via email as I initially requested. Even though I included in my initial request the details of the quote I'd like to receive, Jeremiah proceeded to ask me to repeat them, which I felt was unprofessional, mostly since he could have referred to my initial request to get this information. I didn't hear back from Jeremiah for 2 weeks afterward. I wrote him another email requesting an update (replying off of our original email). He AGAIN asked me to repeat my request details AND for which company it was for. Jeremiah could have simply scrolled down in our email conversation to get this information.

    At this point, I tactfully let him know this information has already been provided, I was just looking for an update on a quote that was already in progress, and that I felt he was being unprofessional. He simply replied with "Also this number on the form is no good...", which acknowledged that he could indeed see my original quote request details. Since I was requesting many quotes, I did not want to be bombarded with unwanted phone calls from sales representatives, so I requested to only be contacted via email. When I didn't hear back from him for a few more days, I sent him one last email letting him know I didn't feel comfortable working with him and that I'd put in another request for a quote for AT&T business services. He replied simply with "ok".

    Afterward, I attempted to contact AT&T two more times for my quote, not getting a response either time (possibly because my emails get routed to the 'assigned sales rep' automatically? I'm not sure). I reached out to the AT&T live chat to inquire how I'd file a formal complaint against Jeremiah and she said that when our chat window closes, there will be a survey, I can put my complaint in there. I did what she said, included my email address, and requested a follow up. No response from AT&T.

    My last attempt to reach out to AT&T was this week. I filed my complaint using their Contact Us link on their website, again, including my email address. It has been 4 days and still no response. I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else happens to be shopping for new business (or personal) service through AT&T and wants to know what sort of experience they should expect.

For 2 months we've had extremely slow internet access. I did not have time to call AT&T to troubleshoot the issue. When I did have time, I was on the phone for 40 minutes. 40 minutes of my time that I will never get back.

    I called another number so I could request a credit on our bill because of the modem issue. When the service rep came out to our house, he should have had a new modem that was working properly. I was on the phone for 50 minutes so I decided to start an AT&T chat. The person I was chatting with called me. I explained the entire issue with him. He put me on HOLD and after 56 minutes the line disconnected. He never called me back. AT&T has to be the worst internet company available. People should not have to spend so much of their time on the phone. I finally got someone on the phone who gave me a credit on my bill for the modem issue. She said she couldn't compensate me for my time. People should not have to waste time on the phone dealing with crap like this. My time is valuable and so is everyone else's time.

Called to complain and was promised by a "manager" that it would be done the next day.

Called to cancel the service and was put on the phone with a retention "manager".

    Same promise was made about getting the install the next day. Again I asked if she was sure because it was going to cause a problem with my boss and my job, asking for another day off of work. Well guess what, I was stood up again. The amount of time I had to spend on hold waiting for answers and the number times I was transferred to different people who still were no help was insane. The only thing I am thankful for is that they screwed up so bad I never had the service installed.

Here are some examples of the bogus charges from this bill: $25.00 UPGRADE FEE: My husband simply bought a new phone, the rep did not know why the charge was there, so it was removed.

The AT&T Rep. told me it was protection if our phones got wet, WRONG - Basically it seems to be "PRO TECH SUPPORT"... I looked it up on their website. It's a fancy way of generating more income, because all along we always had tech support!

We decided to make the switch from Verizon to AT&T because we were DirecTV customers and AT&T offered perks for DirecTV customers (free iPhone 7) if we signed up. They also offered a Veterans discount (my wife and I are both Veterans). It took several attempts to get the Veterans discount applied to our account and it required 2 trips to the dealer where we purchased our phones and the AT&T service. I should have canceled the service when I saw what a hassle it was to get a Veterans Discount... To this day 8 months later it's a crap shoot as to whether the monthly bill will include the discount. This month (July 2017) I again see that the discount isn't being removed from our bill.

    As I type this I'm on hold waiting for a so-called supervisor to again try to get the problem solved. The customer service rep indicated that I no longer get the discount hence the need to talk to a supervisor. I tried to do this earlier today and was told that a supervisor would call me back in 5 minutes... 5 hours later I called AT&T back and attempted to get to someone who could fix the billing issues once and for all. At this point I'm still on hold (listening to AT&T sales propaganda). It's been about 1 hour now. My suggestion to anyone thinking about switching to AT&T... Don't. Verizon was a little more expensive but at least their customer service people could resolve a billing issue.

I have Lifeline and still was overcharged. I'm sick of being lied and told something different, it's a bunch of bull, don't get high speed now, it's bull. 13% only get what you pay for is true, my daughter try out my Internet speed and knows it's not what I am paying for.

    I am writing this email to your department, because I do not know who else to talk to. Last year I entered a contract with DirecTV to have the service installed in my house. I purchased the service at Walmart and was informed I qualified for a $200.00 Walmart gift card. To shorten a long story, I never received the gift card and have been told by the department that handles the gift card program, "I will not receive a replacement." I have been trying to straighten this situation out since April of this year. I have been on calls, on hold, in chat rooms in several departments and still no one can issue me a replacement card. I do not consider the way I have been treated, good customer service and will give Walmart, AT&T and DirecTV one more chance to make this right.

    AT&T does not see a problem with charging another 135.46 for a billing date change. No matter how you explain the dates to me, I only care about the dollar amount I pay you a month. I pay around 180.00 for services, this last month paid 310.00, and next month will be another 180.00. They keep telling me about the bill cycle. I'm like "Can you add." Over 10 agents, 3 managers, complaint to BBB and still no complete resolution after getting a call today from Stacy **, Manager of Office of the President, to tell me that I was charged for the bill. I was told one bill would be higher because of the dates, so the compensation should come from the previous bill being much lower. The bills should total the same monthly amount regardless of the cycle days. RIP OFF!!!

    I was trying to gather wireless plan info for Canadian son going to study at US university this fall. Wow, trying to get information was absolute torture. Relentlessly put on hold, lied to, transfered to automated system only, given wrong numbers and purposely disconnected. Spent 2 hours yesterday and another 2 hours today with very useless reps. They said they couldn't access the website, couldn't tell me where on the site to go and then sent me to a newsletter site dated Feb. 2015. Verizon, T-Mobile and many smaller ones were so much better informed and actually interested in getting our business. Needless to say, not going with crappy AT&T. If that's how they treat a potential customer imagine how poorly you would be treated when you're a client!

    Lied to get me back and didn't keep their word. I wasn't happy with the prices on my AT&T account, they went up. I told them I was going to switch to Sprint if they couldn't help me and they said "Then switch" even though I've been a loyal customer for 17 years. So I did. I was happy with Sprint because they were paying off my AT&T last bill and giving us 2 free iPhone 7's. When I called AT&T to find out when my last bill would be generated, they were very upset that I switched and was surprised that the agent let me go so easily. I was transferred to the get a customer win back department and they did everything they could to offer me amazing deals. It was so good, I couldn't pass it up. So I cancelled Sprint and returned my iPhone 7's and went BACK to AT&T.

    AT&T set me up with the exact account I had before and the deal was nowhere to be seen. I called and spoke to many people in the customer loyalty department and spent 10 hours over 3 days on the phone. I know the person I spoke to and so do they but they keep coming up with excuses. Why would I switch back unless they were giving me a good deal? I even repeated it 5 times so the recording could hear the deal and they confirmed it 5 times. Her supervisor was also there confirming. They have told me 4 times that her supervisor would call me back. Never happened. I've been dealing with this for over a month. I am so stressed out!!! Everyone said they would fix it and no one could. No one would help me. Was this "bait and switch?" How could they lie like that to get me back and not follow through?

    I spoke to Takesha ID# **, Maria ID# ** (sent an email to Katherine's supervisor - Katherine is the one that gave me the deal), Deserie ID# **, Tristan ID# **, Josh ** ID# **, 3 hr conversation, Charles **in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jackson ID# **, Paige **, ID# ** porting department, Deserie ID# **.

I was informed that since I was such a "loyal" customer that I was eligible to receive a Samsung tablet for only .99. No strings attached and was not advised of $45 activation fee, 2-year contract, or $10 monthly additional line charge. I have been with AT&T for 20 years. I have spoken to a dozen customer reps and made 2 trips to AT&T stores.

    At this point I have been lied to, patronized, and pretty much called stupid for not reading terms and guidelines for tablet. No one is willing to accept any responsibility for mistakes and misinformation. I spent 20 years in Customer Service and I don't think I have ever experienced such inadequate, mean, and outright rude customer service. I will switch provider as soon as contract term expires in March of 2018. I cannot understand their complete lack of concern for customers or "loyalty".

    After being with ATT for 7 years no problems until 2016 to July 2017 When I moved to Goldsboro NC. First I was a customer with ATT in Albany NY. Had some billing issues that were easily fixed. Now having billing issues. I was with ATT before the Addition of DirecTV. Move to an area that I could get DirecTV, it took 7 months to get the cell phone and DirecTV bills combined and the due dates to when I could pay them without being late. 7 months of it has been put together as one bill after talking to several reps and supervisors with the assurance they had changed it. DID NOT DO IT after stating that it was done and that they would be together on the next bill. Next bill came not together, more calls and more talking to supervisors still not done.

    Finally, after 7 months and about 25 calls they put them together. Then I move to a place in Goldsboro where I could get their Internet too. Spoke to several reps and Supervisors again "It is put together." Still not done after 5 months and the date of the Internet bill is before I get paid my Social security benefit check that only come on a certain day of the month. Now I am being told that the bill can not be put together due to I have too many bill numbers with them. Not my fault that they chose not to combine the bills as their ads say. They still have not combined the last one so that they all are on one bill with a date that I can pay them and it will not always be late.

    Went into the store to pay the bill and the rep called the main office with me standing right there. The person on the other end said the bills will never be combined because I have too many bill numbers with them. "Well why then did you tell me it would be combined?" I do not know what having so many bill numbers has to do with anything. When I called to get the Internet service the rep on the line told me they would be combined and that it was no problem. The date the Internet bill is due is before I get paid each month so it has to be late. It would not be an issue for me if they would make the due dates the same as the phone and TV bill dates 3 to 4 days after the latest date I get paid.

    Also if I pay online or any other way but take it and give it to the rep in the store they want a $5 convenience fee each to pay the two bills. Not paying convenience fees because they refuse to combine the bills. They are not going to die from not collecting Extra convenience fee from me. I live on SSD and barely have enough money to pay all my bills. They can combine the bills as I was told they would or I am going to change companies too like many of the reviews I see here.

    On Saturday June 30 2017, I went to the AT&T store in Covina, CA, located at Eastland Center. I spoke with Lauro or Lalo, My issue was my Apple iPhone 6s+ did not recognize wi-fi at all. I couldn't get in to my maps for directions, couldn't get my email, etc. He could not fix it, but he said I have 2 choices: I could start a claim online and send in my phone, or I could buy a new one. At first I was going to create a claim, but I can't be without my phone for work reasons. So I decided to buy a new iPhone 7+ since I have an upgrade available, and traded in my old 6s+ for an credit of $230. He told me if I needed anything, I had until the next day before my phone would be sent out. I asked what time they were open the next day, which was Sunday, and he told me they close at 8:00 on Sunday.

    I left the store and had a friend set up iCloud to download my contacts. It wasn't until the next day that I realized I didn't have my photos. About the same time, I received a call from Lauro/Lalo to let me know again that my phone would be sent out, and if I needed anything. So I went back to the store again and spoke with Lauro/Lalo. He had me waiting quite a while while he was trying to transfer everything over. Then he said it wasn't working and he didn't know what to do to fix it, since my phone wasn't working when I brought it in. He was blaming my phone for the problem. So I decided to go to Apple. But he wouldn't let me leave the store without first paying him the price of the trade-in. So I gave him $230 cash, so I could take my old and new phones to Apple in Pasadena.

    While I was on the way, the female salesperson from AT&T called me. She said they close at 7:00 and I needed to have my old phone back to them so they could complete the trade-in. I told her that Lalo told me they closed at 8:00. She sounded threatening when she said she would only be there by 7:30. Again I told her it was my understanding they closed at 8:00. I promised I would be there by 8:00.

    At Apple they successfully downloaded my saved items from iCloud in just a few minutes. No problem or issue. It looks like Lalo didn't really know what he was doing! I have never had so much trouble buying a new phone from AT&T!!! When I returned, Lalo took my phone and gave me back my $230. When I left AT&T, I realized again that my phone would not recognize any wi-fi. So I went online and found an Apple specialist at Best Buy in City of Industry. He was able to fix the problem. I cannot believe how un-knowledgeable the sales team is at AT&T, Covina in Eastland Center are!!! All they wanted was my money for the sale, but didn't care about anything else!

    I took my daughter and granddaughter into the Murrieta, CA ATT store to move our family plan from Verizon to ATT.

(I told Eric I was retired and he assured me I still qualified for the discount) Great deal! So we decided to go with it. Eric suggested we get 4 iPads at $99 each and told us it would be $1.00 a month per iPad. I made sure I repeated, "So, that's only FOUR DOLLARS more a month on our bill? For exactly the same unlimited data and voice as our phones? Are you sure, cause that sounds cheap" Eric said, "yes, $4.00" So we got iPads.

    A month later the bill comes. My discount was omitted and our iPads were charged $20. Each! I called ATT to complain. They said the iPads are $20 each a month for the service and they don't have a $1.00 a month plan. We went into the store, Of course, Eric was on vacation. The manager Jasmine told my daughter they had complaints on Eric. When they questioned Eric, he lied and said he told us $10. A month! NO, he told us a dollar a month, we all heard him or we wouldn't have got iPads! Jasmine said the best they could do for us is change the iPads to a different plan costing $5.00 each a month, but only giving us 1 gig! That makes these iPads worthless, as you can't stream or do ANYTHING with only 1 gig!

    Or, she said we could sell them, pay the $129 to get out of the iPad contract, because it was over 14 days since we bought them so ATT won't take the back. Well, it takes THIRTY DAYS to even get a bill to discover you've been cheated! Why should we even have to deal with all of this, when this whole mess occurred because "Eric" lied to us, tricking us into buying the iPads and promising my LE discount! This is Fraud!

    Also, now they were telling me my LE discount does not apply to this plan! Only Military does! REALLY? If they'd have BEEN HONEST in the beginning, we would have NEVER gone with ATT! We just want what we were promised! I returned to the store and they again said I qualified for the discount, typed in my ID, and said it would reflect on my next bill. I got email saying the person who submitted the ID wasn't an actual manager, that I needed to go back into the store and have the manager resubmit it. I did that. This makes 3 times I've shown my ID to these people! Keep getting emails saying I need to prove qualifying for the discount. I call numerous times. Hung up on, passed around to different people, NO ONE seems to be able to resolve this!

    Oh did I add that the support services are all people who barely speak English! How is someone in Pakistan supposed to be able to help me?

    I have had multiple terrible experiences with AT&T's customer service department. When traveling to Canada we requested international service. We were told we could pay approximately $6 more each month and receive data, text, phone services (plus an additional gb of data) to use while roaming just as we do at home. We started getting warnings about excessive use $100 here, another $100 there and then the sent us a bill for about $700.

    When I called they said the rep should not have offered that and that we "had asked for service to Mexico". I'm pretty sure I knew I was headed to Canada and asked for service in Canada, not Mexico. That is just one experience and it took hours to resolve. We have been gouged by AT&T on roaming ever since. There are about 8 or more equally terrible encounters with customer service since. Basically 100% of our interactions were unhelpful, rude or completely incompetent. I started documenting my calls because they would say, "Unfortunately the person you spoke with did not enter any notes about your call".

    Here we are a couple of months later trying to pay off our outstanding balance on our service, plus the outstanding balance on an installment plan for an iPhone. We have cancelled our service with AT&T and moved on to a different service provider because we just can't deal with them anymore. Today I spent 2 hours and 4 minutes trying to pay these two balances. I had to call 6 times, speak with 4 different reps, one who hung up on me and sent me back to the beginning of the cue and another who said she was transferring me to their collections department because only they can sort out closed accounts. That sounded fine until the voicemail said they're closed today. She basically dumped my call.

    I finally got someone on the line and I explained that I need to pay off my phone so I can have it unlocked and use it with my new provider. He said he couldn't help and that I'd have to wait 30 days and it would automatically be unlocked. I told him that was not good enough. I need to be able to use my phone now and there must be a better way. Eventually he sorted it out. It's paid and I now have to wait 3-4 days for it to be unlocked. It's being held hostage and they have NO claim to it. This should be automatic. This is also just one example. It should not take this much work to pay a balance and a phone off. We will NEVER do business with AT&T again. They also asked why we don't get DirecTV! What a joke. They think they can win back our business! Sorry AT&T, that ship sailed several calls ago!

I would appreciate this security effort if it were handled professionally, but AT&T did everything they could to piss me off and alienate me as a customer forever. They obsessed about some mysterious 4 digit code that I supposedly created years ago and no longer have. They provided no other way of accessing the account over and over and over and over on the phone. When I went into one of their retail stores, the representative, with my photo ID in hand, actually suggested I establish a generic code of **. Their own people suggested a code that would provide ZERO security. So what in God's name is accomplished by locking an account and then suggesting a generic code for future access. That meeting happened in the early afternoon on 5/27/2017.

    By early evening on 5/27/2017, my service with them was canceled and I transferred my phone number to a REAL cell phone carrier (Verizon). On 5/28/2017, at the same retail store, the representative could accept the payoff of the phone but couldn't then unlock the phone. The representative referred me to a phone number to handle the unlocking of the old phone and the final payoff. The phone number given routed me to a department that couldn't do either of these things. So, thirty minutes later, I was still on the phone with these rejects from idiot ward.

    Only after being transferred three times was a representative actually able to handle the account closeout. And, was then routed to an AT&T website to unlock the phone... despite being assured at the store that the people on the phone could accomplish this action. Consumers would do well by avoiding this completely inept service (non)provider. If you enjoy being locked out of your account for weeks on end, feel free to use this service. Otherwise, go elsewhere. If I could give a negative star rating, I would! If I could sue these clowns for breach of contract and the massive amount of time I've lost trying to fix their mess, I would happily do so!

    I recently switched from Verizon to AT&T. My first bill was fine. I paid all of it and more. I get my second bill and there is a deposit fee for $750! I have no idea what this is for. I call them and first I'm told it was an error with the new website because they are updating it. She says, "Don't worry. It will be fixed." A week later still not fixed. I chat online and they tell me it's because I received a double promotion and, "You can't receive a double promotion." We have DirecTV and that was the deal that was offered to us. Now they aren't going to honor it??? What?

    They open a claim to get this resolved. No one ever contacts me about the claim, the claim is closed. I call a week later again about this fee. Now, I'm told it was a deposit that was put on because of credit??? But it wasn't on the first bill and when I signed up for service my credit was reviewed and I was approved for all five lines with no deposit. It shows that on the first bill deposit credit. After this confusing phone conversation that went nowhere I decide to go to my local store. They agree with me that it shouldn't be on the bill. They open a claim and tell me not to worry, it should be fixed in a few days. Three days later my phones are shut off! My husband is out of town with no phone service! I have to leave work to go back to the ATT store to fix this issue. I'm there for two hours, and they still can't get this resolved. I end up having to pay 575 that I should owe because I can't get the issue fixed.

    It is an error on AT&T that it's on the bill. My second bill that the charge was put onto isn't even due yet but I have to pay it because of the situation. Customer service is terrible! Everyone tells you something different! I can't wait to see what charges are added to next month's bill! I'm sure it will be a fee for the service they terminated that they shouldn't of. Stay with Verizon - cheaper bill means terrible customer service!!

    Had a warranty on my phone for loss, damage or stolen phone. Phone kept shutting off so I called to have my phone replaced. I received my new refurbished phone. Sent back my phone which kept shutting off... not damaged. I received my old phone back in the provided box and about 2 weeks later I received the old phone back with a hairline crack in the corner and a bill for $619.00. Called AT&T, told them that it wasn't damaged and the person from AT&T didn't send me to the right warranty department. I didn't know that there was more than one warranty department and there was nothing I could do even if I paid for a warranty. I got screwed so be careful with their warranty.

    I am disappointed with AT&T Switcher Program. Six months ago I took advantage of the AT&T switcher program to add three family members to my account. The in-store representative told us to upload the last bill from our previous provider and AT&T would pay the remaining balance of the phones from the other provider. Today I contacted the Reward Center and they told us that we were not eligible to receive the rewards because we didn't turn in the phones. We purchased three new phones from AT&T when we ported the numbers. Their rep said we had an option about keeping our old phones or trading them in.

    We decided to keep the phones since we would probably on get about $60 for the phones. The rep didn't explain that keeping our phones would make us ineligible to receive the rewards. Over the course of six months, the old phones have been given away, we set up a payment plan with the other provider, and my disdain for AT&T business practices increases daily.

    We've been with them 10+ years. I was always very satisfied with the service. When there were problems Customer service was always very helpful and I was more than satisfied with solutions offered. I recently called about a possible phone upgrade, and the rep wanted to look over my plan to see if it could be improved. I was told the new plan would save me 15.00 on my bill and get me protection from data overcharges. 15 less sounded good, so I said "sure". The next bill I got had instead jumped by 60 dollars. So I called - The first CS rep on this occasion couldn't seem to understand what, why, or how to help. I became frustrated.

    I was then sent through to customer retainment - whom I was told had greater ability to dig deep into issues to solve them. This rep spoke English as a first language. He quickly saw what I was talking about. I had been charged 20.00 over per line - on 3 lines. He issued a credit for 60 and told me it would show on my next bill. Also, he found a plan that would be even less for even more data - or gave me the higher data for the same price. Then I get a bill with no credit applied, and a late fee added.

    So, again I call - This CS rep told me I had only been overcharged 45, not 60, so the credit had been declined. We went round and round, but that's what she insisted and that's all she would allow. I did see what she was talking about on the bill as is currently displayed on-line - but that is not what both I and the earlier rep had been seeing just a couple weeks ago. [Mind you - It was not just me - but me and the English as a first language rep - that saw I was overcharged 20.00 per line. He had even brought in his supervisor to look at it. All agreed a mistake had been made and for how much.] And despite the fact I had paid 60.00 over what I legitimately owed on June 2nd - I was somehow late making a payment on June 22nd and charged a late fee.

    Also, related to this, they have continuously slammed me onto paperless billing - Something I have never authorized. I'm told the 45.00 they now say they overcharged me will show on my next bill. We'll see I guess. But I will be leaving AT&T just as soon as I can get it arranged. They are nearly as bad as Sprint now. I feel disrespected, manipulated, slammed and lied to. I'll do without cell service before I'll pay such fees to be jerked around by deceptive and snarky twits.

    When purchasing a iPhone from AT&T store no. S923 on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California I was told that with my iPhone purchase I could receive an iPad for $100. They did not inform me that I was also signed up for two years contract on additional line for the iPad. I specifically asked the sales rep at the store if there would be any additional charges to my bill. Within two weeks I started getting increases on my monthly AT&T bill. I noticed there was a fourth line on my bill so I called and they told me it was for the iPad. And if I want to change it I would have to go to the store. I went to the store and spoke with a manager David. He was very reluctant on helping me. In fact he kept a poker face to the whole conversation. He told me that it was my responsibility to read the entire receipt before I left. My husband and I both specifically remember asking the sales rep if there would be any additional charges. He told us no.

    We both remember it plain as day. The sales rep whose name was Robert ** was very dishonest with on the whole transaction. We ask that the phone line be canceled because we did not want to be in a two year contract. AT&T told us that we would have to pay $136 to break the contract. Grant it the new phone line only cost $10 plus tax extra each month and is not that big of a hit in my pocket. But when I'm really disappointed about is and I'm really upset about is the dishonesty the sales reps are trained to do. I've done my research on the internet and I have found reports and reviews and interviews of "X" AT&T sales reps to say this is a common practice. It's a switch and bait sales training techniques that puts a strong arm robbery on the customer. AT&T's sales practices are taking hard on my money right off the dinner table and right out of the pocket of individuals.

    They are training their sales reps to be deceitful and close the deal without relinquishing all the information the customer needs to know to make a proper decision. Then when a customer finds out the customer calls the 800-number the 800 number refers them back to the store. The store is reluctant or refuses to do anything to resolve the problem. This manager goes by the name of David knew that this associate at the AT&T store lied to us. I could tell it on his face but he would not do anything probably because AT&T corporate and this is an AT&T corporate store has trained him to push the responsibility back on the customer.

    But the responsibility lies with AT&T corporate and her sales practices, their sales training in their sales reps on the floor. And be careful with AT&T they were rope you into a contract any way they can. Read your receipt before you leave, have them put a contract out and put in front of your face. Do not take their word whatsoever. They are trained in deceitful practices and they are trying to take the money right out of your checking account. They work on commission and it's aggressive sales techniques. AT&T should be ashamed.

Representative was rude, condescending, and argued. Had to talk to 13 people before we were told that WE WERE RIGHT, there had been a miscommunication with DirecTV (which DirecTV told them we were correct from the first 5 minutes in the conversation but AT&T continued to argue with them as well). No apology. No nothing. I am sure they will be bothering us again in 3 months forgetting this conversation, and never correcting what they promised to tonight. JUST LIKE THE LAST THREE TIMES!!??

I was assured it was canceled, then I started receiving wifi equipment in the mail, which I returned. But alas, I still was sent a ** bill for $500.

    So I went into the local AT&T store in Lawrence KS and complained, the representative I talked to was an ** and said there was nothing at all that he could do, he wouldn't even talk to me for 45 seconds, what a pompous ** he was... Still received emails and calls, until finally on the 7th call to AT&T customer service, after 2 months I was finally able to cancel the service (at least I hope) and this was only after being on the phone for hours.

    In short, do not get AT&T, get anything else. MetroPCS from Wal-mart is vastly superior, market strike these idiots. Why help a dying company that screws over their customers anymore?

    Biggest mistake walking into the ATT store. I have been a customer for over 10 years. I was there about a new phone!! Not DATA OR DIRECTV!! The salesperson was trying to sell me the DirecTV and data plan. I made it very clear that I didn't want either plan, due to ATT data is terrible and I have Comcast. Those salespeople were like a bunch of slimy snakes ready to bite (At this time my mother had died and I was away from my home for 2 months). When I came home ATT had sent me the equipment to hook up for the data plan!! The manager at the store signed me up after I told him NO. He was trying to make his quota for the month, and used unworthy tactics.

    Now my nightmare starts: I called ATT numerous times. Talked to so many representatives and they gave me no help. I was connected to a different department and a different person. Every time I tried to tell them the situation they would remark: I signed up for the plan and I'm stuck with it!! I kept trying to explain I never placed an order. At this point I'm going nowhere, ATT doesn't care and I am filing a complaint.

AT&T made multiple promises regarding this problem and their last and final "offer" is for a $50 credit toward a "GoPhone" to replace an iPhone 7s+. Totally laughable. Between 2 houses, internet, TV, home phones and 5 cell phones I pay/paid AT&T over $10,000 per year. They refuse to do what is right and resolve a complaint because they hope people will just go away. They win, I will go away but will make an effort to spread the word.

    Bait and switch pricing - We switched to AT&T and were told we'd get 4 lines unlimited at 190.00 a month. We went into store and were told they had a deal buy one get one iPhone7 Plus and they'd buy our phones from us for 650 each which they didn't give me the 650 for each phone. Said one was damaged or something. That wasn't true. And I was also told we'd get 650 each line for switching to AT&T. I haven't seen that either by the way. When we left the store we were told the bill wouldn't be more than 250 a month with everything including insurance so today I call because my bill is like 365.00. I am told the bill will be running 300.00 a month. I explained everything and the lady switches me to her loyalty dept. What a joke!

    The guy basically says he can't do anything for me and if I cancel the service they will charge me for 4 phones at 750.00 each. I am not on a contract but I have to stay 30 months and pay them more money than I was told and then he is like, “Well did you call or go into the store and confront the manager if you really think this" blah blah and I just said enough. I hung up on the guy and he has the nerve to call me back says, “Oh wasn't sure did you hang up on me or not.” I am like, “Yep sure did ‘cause you're making my blood pressure go up. It is not my job to confront a manager at a local store!" I did the right thing! I called the number on the bill so, here we have a guy on the phone wanting me to confront another employee at his company. Really? What the crap! I ask if we can undo the deal and I give back the phones and they return mine. His answer was to go back to the bait and switch people! Customer service sucks!

    Never use AT&T please. In my opinion they promise a lot and deliver nothing but stress!!! I am now stuck having to overpay for a service and cannot get anyone to help! Had the dept. that should be the one to help me, tell me to go confront another employee in person! No regard for me as a customer, no regard for the bait and switch store manager either. Almost feel sorry for him as his safety must be put at risk daily! We have other services with AT&T and don't usually have problems but if this is the way we’re going to be treated I am going to shop around for all my other services as well as this one!

    You have my old phones and have stuck me in a bad position that could hurt my credit if I don't keep the service for 30 months. You are now overcharging me monthly by 50 more dollars a month. I still am paying my cancellation fee for switching services you promised to pay and have not! I am still paying for my other phones and you did not give me the full 650 per phone.

I immediately contact customer service through chat again and explained the situation. I was then told that whoever the rep was did not put the payment arrangement in for 6/25/17 but for 6/16/17. I told the rep I have the text message confirming that the arrangement was for the 6/25/17.

    I then forwarded the message to the rep. I was still told there is nothing that can be done and that they will only honor the 6/16/17 date.

I told her because I was told the arrangement was set up for 6/25/17 I will not be able to make the payment on 6/16/17 and I wasn't prepared to make a payment on 6/16/17. She then told me there is nothing she can do and that maybe if I go to a corporate store and show them the text they may can do something. So at this time I am frantic because I do not want my services suspended.

    So I leave work and go to the nearest store located in Crestwood, Il. As I entered the location a rep was at the door and I explained the situation. He then said, "There is nothing we can do here, we can't change payment arrangements and if you got a confirmation for 6/25/17 you should be ok." I showed him the reminder text and he said, "Ignore it and it would take 2-3 billing cycles before your services are suspended." Or if I want to block them from debiting my account I should try that. He then opened the door and sent me on my way.

    I then called customer service again from my car and was told all the info the rep at the store stated was incorrect and that he should have called them directly to verify the text message and then they may be able to do something. Now I have to go back to the store again, I was told to speak to a different rep at the location, have them call in to verify the text message I received and hope it can be adjusted correctly. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with ATT. This was an error on their part and now I am wasting time and gas trying to get their mistake fixed to avoid having my services interrupted.

Then called corporate to complain about not receiving our final paperwork. Only to tell us that "you will still owe such bill". Um, excuse me if it shows we paid our bill, and your computer log shows our original complaint, as well shows that we were in good standing after over 10 years of service and paid everything. How exactly do we owe anything?

    Supervisor states that, "Basically you didn't pay us so you owe us the debt..." Horrible, will never recommends and will be canceling my TV provider due to the fact that they are under the umbrella of AT&T. I hope this reaches the appropriate people in the company and something can be resolved. But at this point I will never recommend any service through AT&T and will let everyone know of our experience. Thank you to the technician for dealing with us, we understand that you had nothing to do with our situation and I do apologize for making it your day a bit rough. To the supervisor, I have never dealt with anyone as unprofessional as yourself. I hope that honestly you are reprimanded for how you treated us. The only person that comes close to you and your standards and of unprofessionality is the vile sales associate at the Citrus Heights location that originally was part of this morbid reality of customer-service.

    I've been talk to 3 different kind of customer service. They didn't provide me a good information and take it too long to answer your question and keep you in hold. The one gentlemen asking me about my information and I provide him, he keep on asking and asking on me... over and over. Sorry I hung up. Customer service needs to be well trained. We pay a lot of money for this courier and they wasn't provide you a good answer for your question... and the last lady I talk to always wrong to answer on me... Dissatisfied. I'll changed to T-Mobile... at least a lot cheaper.

    I have been trying to resolve the same billing dispute since January 2017. I have disconnected, put on hold to be transferred again. The unified billing is completely separate and apparently has no direct number. No one seems to know how to get a call to the unified team without disconnecting the call or sending it back to the automated system, only to start all over again. ATT changed their service area which dropped my house. When I was forced to change providers, they insist on charging my $1500 in early termination fees which I was told would not apply due to them dropping me. That was 6 months ago.

    Went to Detroit for 2 days, AT&T decided to think I was in Canada instead so I got a text that said "Your international data charge exceeds $100.00..." Great. Never left the USA. So I called customer service, first time they were semi-helpful, took notes on my account and said they could remove the "fringe border charges" (believe that's a thing?!) at the end of my current billing cycle. So the cycle just ended, I called back, they had no notes on my account and had me talk to three different departments while on hold for over 45 minutes before I could get to billing. Billing department said they couldn't open my account because the fraud department has locked the account. WTF... Where was this heads up 456 minutes ago or ever at all?!

    So I call fraud department. AN HOUR LONG WAIT ON THE PHONE. Then this ** from the fraud department picks an attitude with me because I'm not the account holder but HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION and was instructed by the account holder to make the call. SO he hangs up on me. Between today and calling in Detroit, over 2 hours wasted and these ** scammers stole an extra $100 from me on my recent bill for international data use when I never even left the country!

    I went to the Fairfield Black Rock, Connecticut location where I was to get my charger cord from Mel & the manager was Aurrie. I got there at about 1:20pm Monday June 12, 2017. I was promptly told they would not replace the phone cord that would no longer work in my phone because it works in other phones that he tried. I told him I brought a set, a house & car charger set. The car charger still works in my phone, this house charger does not. It should not matter if the cord works in other people's phones, I need a cord that works in my own phone & I was told I would be given that as long as I held on to the receipt. He said no. Even though I was given a warranty of replacement.

    Fairfield Black Rock, CT Store 301. The treatment so disheartening. I felt helpless after spending my hard earned money within the AT&T franchise. If I considered working with AT&T as my provider, because of those two I would no longer take AT&T into consideration, who knows who else within the AT&T community would back step on a warranty? Tina the only one to take the time out to fully explain what was going on, was amazing! Although she did not have the authority to do more than explain, she did not just push my issue aside like Mel & Aurrie who decided his phone call was more important than my/a customer's issue. I hope that this complaint will not fall on deaf ears. At this point you've lost a customer. You'll have negative word of mouth. I will take my business and anyone I have dealings with family or otherwise, we will all go elsewhere in regards to TV & phone providings. It's a shame that a few bad apples ruins the bunch.

    For the first time in 10 years I'm very disappointed with AT&T. I received an email indicating as of March 2017. I will be charge an additional $10 charge on my grandfathered unlimited plan. The email indicated that I could either change my plan or cancel my ATT services without a termination fee. I would have to cancel the plan after the March 2017 bill. I did, I switch providers on May 8 2017 and now ATT is charging me a termination fee plus taxes. I called and the customer services representative stated that there is no record of such email and that I must pay the termination fee. ATT after 10+ years this is how you treat your clients.

    Had an issue with activation over phone so had to go to a store. I was told to ask for manager and to explain that I was disabled and that they need to assist me in setting up my service. When I got there, I told the employee who greeted me that I was told to come to store and ask for manager. He went in and came back out and said he would be with me in a couple mins. 15 min later, I asked another associate, and she responded that the manager was on a PERSONAL call. I asked if she could mention that this involved service to a disabled person, and she gave me an eye scan, with the result you aren't disabled (I have bipolar disorder, it's not visible **). The manager came out and told me to leave the store because I was lying to employees and making the other customers uncomfortable. The word mental appeared at one point. Great way to welcome people to AT&T.

    I have mixed feelings about this cell phone provider. When I originally switched to AT&T, I was told they'd buy out my contract from my current provider. After I switched, they told me no. It cost me $200 and I was very annoyed and almost switched providers again. However, the rates for service were half of what I was paying so I figured I'd make up the $200 in a few months. I have something called a Go Phone. Since I automatically renew my plan each month, they give me a discount of $5 so it costs $40 for everything. I still wonder if there was a bait and switch going on but it may just have been an honest mistake by an ill-informed rep. Beware of promises to buy out an existing contract. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with my phone plan.

    For over 6-7 weeks now I have had horrible cell service. I've called customer service & they are handing out nothing but lies! I am stuck with AT&T because no other service works where I'm located. I'm paying a large bill for phone service I'm not getting. I have missed 3 emergency calls, one of them the person died shortly after! What does it take to get the service I pay for?? If you can't deliver the service that I pay for then I should have a discount on my bill until the proper service is restored!!! I am going to have to start contacting all my state representatives for Michigan both at the state & federal level & see if they can look into the way this company is treating their customers. Time for AT&T to be put in their place!

    AT&T is a great company and is the best for service out in our rural area. However, they are expensive. Also, I've spent countless hours working with customer service trying to fix our internet issues. I usually spend an average of at least an hour on the phone getting passed around and having to explain every time what the issue is. Very frustrating!!! However, the customer service agents I have dealt with have all been friendly and have done their best to try and solve the problem. I have done away with the hotspot internet, so hopefully the problem has been solved.

    We purchased my son a new iPhone from AT&T in 2015. Along with this outright purchase (we did not sign-up for the installment plan), we purchased the insurance plan through AT&T which is serviced by Asurion. In November 2016, my son's iPhone stopped working entirely. We filed a claim (claim ID: **) through the Asurion insurance, paid the $100 deductible, and we received a replacement iPhone on November 7, 2016. Everything was fine until we switched phone carriers on June 3, 2017. AT&T would not unlock this phone because they stated that we owed money on the installment plan based on the phone's IMEI number. I explained that we never purchased via installment and that we had proof of outright purchase for this phone.

    They then stated that they could see that the person responsible for the installment on this phone was not associated with my account or my family; but they then stated that they would not unlock the phone because someone owed them money. I was then told that I could pay the balance to unlock the phone. I don't think so. I then explained that they had sent me this refurbished phone in November 2016 (claim ID: **) and that if they sent me a replacement phone that someone else had not paid for, that was their problem and they would need to unlock the phone. After over 60 minutes on the phone, they recognized the error and reported that they would unlock the phone within 48 hours. They provided me with a case ID number (**)--I had spoken with Ryan on this call.

    After 72 hours and the phone was still not unlocked, I called AT&T back and it was as if they had never even logged the request to unlock. A woman named Ana told me that the phone was ineligible to be unlocked because there was an installment plan balance that I would have to pay first. I explained everything AGAIN. At first she denied that this particular phone was sent to me via the Asurion insurance claim; but after I got firm with her and threatened legal action, she "found" the information and escalated the request to "urgent." She stated that the phone would be unlocked within 24 hours. The case ID number for this incident was **. It has been over 24 hours and the phone is still not unlocked. Keep in mind that we are paying for this phone on Verizon's network now and have been unable to use it for over 5 days.

    I googled this problem and found countless reports of fraudulent activity related to this matter with both AT&T and Asurion involved. This is a bonafide scam that AT&T is executing on its customers. I am certain that there are individuals who have probably paid the installment balance--for which they are not responsible--because it would be the easy way out. I am not that person. BEWARE.

    I am on my third LG V20... It's sad you have had a brand-new phone since March of 2017 and haven't had a chance to use it and you would think customer service would try to help but they only think about their pockets. Be careful people. They go by the purchase date instead of when you actually get the phone activated... sad. Then you get the runaround. I don't want another LG product and I was told I could get the Samsung Eight Plus for a replacement but of course I would have to use my upgrade which I'm not going to do... remind you I have four lines I'm paying for plus DirecTV. As soon as I do some research on other providers and find one I'm satisfied with they can go to **! They are liars and should really be ashamed... I hate AT&T. I should have listened when people told me not to mess with them. You live and learn!

    I thought I had cleared up a problem with my AT&T phone bill involving incorrect charges. I was told by an AT&T representative that the charges were "dropped". This was again verified by another AT&T agent via phone, when I called a few days later to double check (because the bill had not posted yet). But, when the bill posted a week later, the incorrect charges were still there.

    When I called to clear this up AGAIN, the supervisor told me that there were no notations on my account that the charges had been reduced, and she refused to change anything on the current bill. I asked her to listen to the previous phone calls that I had made (during which their representatives had assured me that there would be no charges in addition to by usual monthly bill) - Which I was told had been recorded. She said she had no access to these previous calls, and that AT&T is so big that she would have no way of contacting these other representatives who had told me this. Over $100 in incorrect charges have stayed on my bill. I am shocked that I have been treated this way by AT&T, After having been a customer for over 10 years!
