    The Data plan is great, but coverage isn't as good as Verizon. But purchasing phones from AT&T is superb and the Customer Service is wonderful and educated.

    I was told that my data which was 20G by a AT&T REP was a LOST OF MONEY TO ME and THAT I WOULD SAVE 30 DOLLARS BY GOING DOWN TO 6G because I didn't use it. Guess what? I pay 80 dollars more the first month because of use for half a month and then all that I save was 10 dollars. I call AT&T 4 times and they say that I was told that the person was and when I call that person 5 times she never call me back and she is a AT&T salesperson.

    Great cell service, Internet and home phone. My biggest problem is DirecTV how discontinue my service the 24th and wanted to go back and they won’t charge me $380 to get them to reconnect my service. That is ridiculous. Other than that AT&T is a great company and I do support him no matter what but I would not recommend DirecTV because they want to charge people for their boxes.

    AT&T Cheating via billing!!! It is a worldwide known fact that all WhatsApp calls and FaceTime calls use either the WIFI or the Data Plan. I keep my WIFI and the Cellular Data completely active at all times as I use the WhatsApp and Facetime to call my colleagues and family. AT&T system inability to identify the calls and correctly and switch them using either WIFI or Cellular data, caused my calls to my colleagues to be billed as International calls.

    Case 1. I raised the complaint on 4/17/2018 and talked to an Agent by name Luke, who understood my issue and made a credit of the $322.92 which brought my bill normal for the billing period March 12th to April 11th 2018. To my request to deactivate all International calls (which was secretly kept default by AT&T) Luke confirmed that he has done it.

    Case 2. On 5/14/2018 I again see the same set of International charges piling on my bill for the billing period April 12th to May 11th 2018, with the previous bill carry over also added. I again reach out to customer service agents, and first Juan, then Aicee, and then Aedan comes over to the chat and promises resolution. Finally it goes to Jacob (the so called Supervisor) who promises to raise a help desk case# for resolving my concern. He gave me much consoling that everything will get fixed and still I see NOTHING fixed for my bill.

    Case 3. Again on 5/18/2018, I get in touch with the customer support agents again requesting resolution. Now Devon comes to picture, then Brayan, and then to his so called supervisor Mauricio. In the meantime I am provided the loyalty contact number by Mauricio where I get connected to Sue, then to Patricia and finally to Benelyn who finally manages to raise the proper case ID# ** to address my concern.

    By this time I have spent at least 3 days talking to multiple people presenting my case repeatedly again and again but in vain. With the case# ** Benelyn promises resolution as on 5/21/2018. Benelyn promises resolution of the case with the details as given below: Actual Bill Amt: $738.63. Credit to be applied: $525.25. Actual Total payable: $213.38. Finally when I reach out to the agent to check on the status of the case saying that the back office denied saying these were international calls. To be very clear to AT&T I have informed that I use Vonage to do all my international calls and never my cell phone AT&T connection.

    Case 4: Today 6/4/2018 I follow up on the case again with the agent Kimberly where she updates the case with my concern, and in the night I get a mail that the back office denied my claim. Now I am not sure how else to present this case of acute cheating by AT&T. I am even ready to test out my device with the same scenarios, however without even respecting the loyalty of a longtime customer, AT&T repeatedly shows the arrogance of pushing their problems down the customer's throats.

    All I ask is for my issue to be resolved and my eligible amount to be credited where I was never on the wrong side. Hence who so ever is AT&T's respected superior authority, kindly listen to this humble request of a loyal customer and help me out!!! In case you need the audio recordings of my conversations with your so called supervisors, I can even provide that. All I am saying is that as a Customer "I HAVE NOT MADE ANY INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR CALLS". All call from my cell phone that has gone out to the international number are ONLY WhatsApp and FaceTime audio calls, which should be using AT&T Cellular Data or WIFI. I am taking pains to write this much because I am so much frustrated with AT&T. So please show some JUSTICE to your customer!!!

    I called to change my daughter's plan, it was nearly $100/mo - got it down to $73, the next month the bill arrives and it's $100 again. I call, spend 40 minutes on the phone, get it corrected, but I have to pay the $100 as it takes a billing cycle to get it reduced, ok. Next month, bill is $100 again. I call and the customer service rep argues with me about the amount, I had to walk her through the math to get to the correct number - ask to speak to a supervisor, get it corrected. Next month, bill arrives for $100 AGAIN! Call and am told it will be corrected the next month and I have to pay the late fee (I was traveling in Europe on business when the bill came in and didn't want to spend $3/min sitting on hold for 45 mins for them to fix their mistake again AND didn't want to pay the incorrect amount). Absolutely inept or crooked - I suspect the latter. BEWARE!

    Living in a rural area with limited coverage and slow Frontier WiFi access. I would like to know the cost for data access for AT&T and other phone companies and wonder why the phone companies charges to their customers are so expensive for data. Moreover, they keep adding data bytes when one runs out and when you call the company to request that they have it set up so customers can select if they want the data added or not, you are told that the plan selected doesn’t allow that choice and that one should personally go online to deselect data. The irony is that they have it set to automatically add 1 gb at a time charging this ridiculous price of $15 per gb every time, but they can’t assist the customers the other way around... Spotty coverage and unable to fully use phone where I am. Awful.

    I have pretty good service almost everywhere that I go. There are just certain areas and they are usually remote where I have issues. When I lived in a remote area I got one of the towers that boosted the signal. This really helped a lot but while driving in a remote area there is no mobile booster. Also I used to really enjoy getting a new phone every two years for free which they do not do any longer.

    Went to purchase a new iPhone and was told I could not buy one outright. I could put a maximum of $500 and then make payments on the extra $200. Then they told me I could buy an iPad for $100 because they were having a special that day. I went for it and put down $700 and asked that I keep the same AT&T carrier service I had had for the past ten years or so. A few days later I found I owed $148 which I paid. Then few days later I got another bill for cellular service for $150. I hadn't even had the devices for three weeks and already was billed almost $300. Also, I noted discrepancies between what they had told me at the AT&T store in San Antonio, Texas and what was on the bill. I took the phone and the iPad back. I asked them about the two billings and was told. "We have no control over AT&T billing". And when I tried to return the devices I was told the 14 days was up and I was bound by my contract.

    I came home and called AT&T and closed my accounts. I'm still waiting for my "final bill" which I am sure will be something to behold. I had been with AT&T for years and never ran into such poor service and behavior. I'm 76 years old and my advice to any elderly person like me is to bring someone with you to keep an eye on these people. I pointed out to the manager that it's a felony in Texas to scam the elderly but he didn't seem too concerned about it. Maybe if they get a call from Adult Protective Services in Texas, they will take notice.

    I originally switched from Verizon to AT&T being told the costs would either be the same or decline from my original costs. Well after the slick used car salesman fast talk I signed the dotted line for a two year stint. Well, to start Mr. slick AT&T rep didn't port my iPad from Verizon to AT&T, he just assigned it a new number so I was still receiving a Verizon bill for my iPad. In turn I shut that part off and contacted AT&T to fix the issue and was told it was my fault! It was a big huge hassle to get it fixed as I had asked to have the Verizon costs credited (90.00) as it wasn't my fault. I got nowhere with the original calls to the local AT&T store along with numerous speaking to "manager". I even attempted to gain a number to the District supervisor and was only given an email address.

    So I decided I be best to move the corporate side of the issue and mostly all I got was this rep or that rep, but after 6 calls I finally got one who actually gave a crap. He in turn sent my issue to a regional VP who called me personally and offer an apology for the issues I had been having. She credited the costs I had to pay to Verizon and even gave me 250.00 credit to my account, still it left a sour taste in my mouth and when I'm done with my plan I'll switch back to Verizon as their coverage and data strength in my area is 100% better than AT&T.

    I upgraded my iPhone so I am on the payment plan for it and even with this the costs for the plan was originally 60.00 higher than I was paying with Verizon. I did look at the plan and changed it to a lesser one than I originally had (unlimited). Now it's the 15GB plan and the costs are similar to my original Verizon plan. So here I sit stuck in a plan for another year and a half.

I paid what I owed them and they won't give me what they owe me. They are going to keep my money. That's stealing. I don't owe them nothing and they are going to keep my money. I don't want a credit. I don't owe them. They got their money and I can't get my money back. That's not right. I need my money back. That's all the money and AT&T is going to keep it. When you go to the store you get your change back. They don't keep it and tell you that you have a credit. You get your change back. AT&T is stealing money that they are not owed. That was money on my other bills.

    Now I am going to be short on my bill because AT&T won't give me my change back. I get paid once a month. I don't have money to give away. I am poor. I don't have money to pay extra on bills. It might seem little but that can hurt someone. I don't have money to give to AT&T and I want my money back. Is this what they do billion dollar company by taking money from the poor and not refunding people what they're owed and telling you what they are going to do with your money. AT&T they are a ripoff. The customers don't have any rights when they take your money. They are paid in full and have extra money that they owe me and they won't give me my money back. They are the biggest thieves out there. Ripoffs with no consequences for their actions. Something needs to be done about that.

    I have been dealing with trying to get internet service at my home for over 15 years. I keep getting the same response answer there is a CAP in my area, therefore no more service is being offer. Just because we live in rural area doesn't mean we do not use internet or we are dumb backwards hecks. Contacting the president office is not any help either - he do not respond. He has his so called staff who can't help with the problem. Call you with the same bull crap story. If they do not want to provide the service to their customers then release the area to another company that can. I know that Centurylink and Time Warner serve people less than a mile away from my home. Also my neighbor thru the woods have AT&T internet service. DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. They want to keep raising the price for home service to make up for their cost of not providing internet.

    I have to use Verizon data service in order to get any type of internet service. This is the reason why after having my cell phone service with them ever since they were BellSouth - I was one of the first customer whom they had - was with them for approx. 30 years service was horrible but I stuck it out - after not being able to offer me internet and lying and refusing to open the so called cap - I drop their wireless service and have move to Verizon and no problems with their service. If I didn't have to have a landline for my security service I would drop AT&T so quick. Good job Verizon and AT&T you suck. Rural areas need internet service and if you don't want to provide then release the area to someone who can provide the service that is needed in the area.

    The only problem with the prepaid service is the phones they offer. I've had both AT&T and Straight Talk. Still on the AT&T. Both phones are pretty good Samsungs but neither can have over 4-5 apps without running out the internal memory. You can't run most apps off the micro SD.

    AT&T internet has gone down... again, this time it's been out for around 18 hours. I used my T-Mobile phone to pull up the AT&T site which said there was an outage in my area and it would be repaired by 5:45 this afternoon. It's now after 10 pm and it's still out. They've stopped giving us a time when it will be operational so this will likely go into tomorrow or longer. My small business depends on the service which doesn't work all too often, especially when you consider they're higher than their competitors. Lastly, AT&T seems like they couldn't care less about their customers. The company has grown so large that when contacting them you get recordings. After navigating through a maze and fortunate enough to get a live person they say the same thing as the recording: "We're sorry, thanks for your patience. Next!" We're looking into Dish Internet.

    I have been going back and forth with AT&T since March. I made the mistake of switching to AT&T from T-Mobile and it was the worst decision I have ever made. The person that did the switch for me did not explain the process as it should have been done, only said to send my T-Mobile devices on the same box where I was going to receive my AT&T devices. She never said that I needed to go to the trade in page register the devices and that I would then get tracking numbers and packages to send my devices back to later submit my final bill.

    As a result, two months after the switch I received a bill from T-Mobile that I owed them 2,000 in equipment that I was going to collections. I immediately called AT&T asking them why I had received that bill. To my surprise the person explained that I hadn't submitted my final bill, neither the devices had been register etc. Long story short I have been calling AT&T two to three times a week, spoke to several departments Customer Care, Warehouses, Switcher Program, Trade in department and Loyalty program, nobody seems to care every time they say they will make notes and transfer me to another department that does not solve the problem.

    This time and age you can find a phone by the IMEI number and I know they must have a general database, because the manager at a store told me they were suppose to be able to find the devices. On top of that, this lady that got me into this mess told me to send my iPad which did not even qualify for the switcher program, which I also found out recently. I have opened three different cases regarding the iPad and have not received an answer. They will steal your money, your equipment and get away with it. Nobody seems to care about the customer. Do not go with AT&T. You will for sure acquire a debt. I switched since February the 19th and still nothing has been solved.

    The reception is horrible and getting worse! Not just at home, it’s everywhere! From dropped calls, sluggish internet service unless I use my WiFi, to being told that I sound like I’m underwater! I spend a pretty penny every year on smartphones and I deserve better than what I get! What’s worst is the Customer Service Rep says that the majority of the people in my area uses WiFi Calling! Really? WiFi Calling is only good if you are at home! Even still, I’m paying an arm and a leg for so-called decent service! Not for decent service IF I use WiFi Calling!

    AT&T is a good company but cost is too high. I have been with them for 13 years and am currently not under contract with them. I'm looking everywhere for the best deal. I was thinking about T-Mobile's 55 plus plan at total of $60 for 2 phones with unlimited data. I asked AT&T if they could match that or had a similar deal. They said "NO". I bet they change their tune after T-Mobile and Sprint merge.

    I like my service from AT&T, which my husband is on also. However he only uses 3 or 4 minutes a month and I only use not even a 100, but we pay 113.00 a month for such limited use! It seems like there should be a plan available for light users, much less expensive than that.

    ON May 18th I called for two reasons. One was to clarify my bill. The other was to look at data coverages. The AT&T guy said he saw I still had a second phone; asked why didn't I want to sell it? I said it was my husband's and anyway it had come in very handy. Representative “Brian” 13:40 pm CST. He said the following: "I can give you the same phone new 6s+ same as what your husband had, FREE. We'll waive the activation fee. We'll assign you a new number, choose from these 3. You will just be responsible for the tax, a one time charge. Then you will only have to pay $5. extra for that second phone. Sound good?"

    I said, "What's the catch? He said, "There is none, it's a promotional offer and that you have been with us for so long that that is what my manager is offering." I said, "I'd always had the Apple Care Protection Plan" and he said, "you mean insurance?" I said, "No. The Apple Care Protection Plan for support when you need it." He said, "Yeah. Yeah. It will be included also. Just call Apple when you get the phone to register it, and transfer your information to your new phone."

    So I said OK. About 10 Min. afterwards I got nervous and called Apple. The representative said only they could sell the Apple Care Protection Plan and we did a conference call to AT&T. After two hours of being given the runaround and relentless advertising. A senior representative got on the line and after confirming that they could not sell the Apple Care protection Plan and that further he had no idea why this deal was even offered to me, because it was only a promo for new lines. I said (with the Apple rep on the line) that I wanted this transaction to be halted. He said it would be and that the originator of this call (I had his name, date, time and attending order number), would be severely dealt with or perhaps terminated.

    As I was getting off the phone with the Apple representative who was very interested in this, and was going to send this information to corporate, said, "make sure you get a case # about this." I said I would. I asked for and got only the senior supervisors name + initial and ID number. Vladimir **. ID# **, But he refused to send me a verifying email. This is a communications co.! Two days later an Old refurbished Apple 6s not the 6s+ my husband had had, showed up. I called to complain. They said I would be charged for the phone, it was not free and that I would be paying for it incrementally. I said, "It was supposed to be cancelled and free not to mention new, in any event; that they needed to arrange for it to be picked up." They said, "Too bad. It was already sent" and If I didn't send it back I would be paying for this new phone.

    They also sent me to one department after another: loyalty, fraud, customer service, they all said they could not find The Senior Supervisors name or number or notes. (Vladimir's ID number). They said I was responsible. Finally after 3 hours I was again sent to customer Loyalty and I said, "Look I'll send you back the phone, but it shouldn't be me who is responsible." He looked at the notes and did find the Id # and the cancellation notes, but said I was still responsible to send it back under the, "customer's remorse" proviso, but that the only protection from (my words) further abuse was to keep my receipt When sending it back and his name KYLE and ID# ** and then if I still had any further problems they could find his ID number no matter what department. Yeah just like all 6 or 7 people I spoke to before found Kyle the last senior advisor's number.

    To be fair he was the only sane person I spoke to. And some know just how bad this has gotten; others are like subjects from the famous 'Milgrim experiment' I am terrified of this company, its reach, its disregard for its customers, civility or for that matter the law. Blatantly misrepresenting yourself and after all they are a corp. therefore a citizen, and then not taking responsibility to correct a wrong is always a fearful situation to be in.

    Perhaps Antitrust or monopolies are now an antiquated notion to the Atty. General or maybe we've just all run amok. But I genuinely believe that AT&T's practices warrant serious scrutiny. A horror show of nasty incompetence, out and out lies and com-on gimmicks that started this, and the refusal to ever admit to anything so as to provide proof of the actions that took place leaves the consumer helpless to recourse. Even if I wind up with terrible service, I will switch to another carrier now. This has cost me days of phoning, not to mention calling my CC co to stop any charges AT&T made and to contest the bill. My throat is sore from re-explaining the same thing over and over again and it is analogous to a physical assault. And it will be a long time before I ever know if I have heard the last of this.

    I walked into the Pittsfield, MA location on Dalton Ave. around 8:15 pm. When I walked in a young boy said hi and he would be right with me. Another gentleman was waiting on a couple already. A minute or 2 passed by and the young boy came back to help me as he said he would. I showed him that I had just purchased a smartwatch to go with my iPhone. I asked him if I could buy a SIM card for my watch. He took my watch (that was still in its original package) right out of my hands and started taking it out of the box, he literally dumped everything on the small counter nearby, took the back off the watch and said you need such and such SIM card. I said yep I know. He then said in order to use a new SIM card I would need to open a new line, but then tells me..”I can’t do that tonight, so you’ll have to wait to come back tomorrow!” Are you kidding me! I was furious! Why would I want to come back tomorrow when I could be waited on then!

    So then I said, "Can’t I use my SIM card from my phone?" and he says, "Well yeah, but then you can’t use your phone so you need another line." I didn’t quite get it. Mind you my stuff is all scattered on the counter still. He then turns around, walks a few steps away and starts leaning on another counter. Guess he was all done with me for the night. I proceeded to pack my new watch up and took off. I am so irritated with how I was treated. I have been with AT&T for many many years and not once have I been treated like this. I will NOT go back to this location and now I am considering trying another company out. I can’t even go to my local AT&T store and be waited on appropriately. So here I am back home with my problem not solved.

    If it wasn’t for customers like me this kid wouldn’t even have a job. If he doesn’t like dealing with people/customers then he is in the wrong line of business. I don’t even know if this review will even do anything, but at least others can read it and see how I was treated. My money is just as good as everyone else’s! I will NOT be treated like this especially from someone way younger than me. How dare this young boy! Way to go AT&T for employing such an amazing worker.

    UPDATE - After complaints via telephone and to the FCC, AT&T adjusted the bill in accordance with what was promised at the time of sale.

    Original Review: May 24, 2018

    I recently had to switch to AT&T because Verizon does not have coverage in my area. I spent an hour on the phone asking questions about plans, bundle discounts, and a military discount since my husband is a Vet. The representative told me what the costs would be, activation fees waived, military discount etc and I used the tool at the ATT website to estimate my first bill. However, when the first bill came it was twice the amount I expected, had no discounts, activation fees on all devices (even the ones that I own).

    When I called in to discuss I spent another hour on the phone with a representative who was 100% clueless about how to read a bill, what AT&T policies are, and she told me the military discount was in process and I would get the discount in a few months. When I told her there was nothing in the bill showing it was a military account she put me on hold and then admitted that nothing had been submitted for the military discount and instructed me what I had to do in order to get it (not explained when I was opening the account).

    At this point I also found out it takes 3 billing cycles for the discount to be processed and it is NOT retroactive back to anything you've already paid. Again, not disclosed or discussed when I opened the account. AT&T was unwilling to waive the fees they agreed to waive when I opened the account so I filed a complaint with the FCC for dishonest business practices. Within a day I got an email and a phone call from the office of the President of AT&T to discuss the complaint. The woman who called listened to my complaint then indicated I would have to provide (2) forms of military ID to get the discount.

    When I became upset and told her that the website clearly states only 1 form of ID is required she got nasty with me and told me I wasn't allowed to raise my voice when talking to her??? She continued with her combative tirade, talking over me even when I was asking why the office of the president would allow her to call people and talk to them like that. AT&T cannot continue to use ignorant and uneducated people to sell services, address billing and complaints. They are hoping you will get tired of sitting on the phone arguing with an idiot and just pay your bill while they walk away with much more of your money than you agreed to when you signed up.

    I went into a deal with AT&T and DirecTV on March 28th, buy one cell get one free with installation of DirecTV. The scheduled date was 4 weeks from the 'purchase' of the phones, April 26th. The day came and went and no one showed up. I called 5 times that day to see what was happening, my call transferred all over the world, sometimes it dropped while be transferred, I'd have to call again and start over. DirecTV and AT&T never reached out themselves. Finally a technician called one hour after the 12-4pm window they gave me, at 5:00pm, asked if I knew it was a dish called a Genie, (no I didn't, who has dishes anymore?! DirecTV is being advertised as dishless now) and he didn't have it anyway, installation would have to be rescheduled the next week sometime.

    When discovering it was a dish we decided not to do it, cancelled it on Monday and eventually found out I couldn't return the second phone because it was beyond the 2 week return policy! Now AT&T wants me to pay for the second phone! Not my fault, the DirecTV installation was scheduled 4 weeks out! It has been a horrible, frustrating experience, way too much effort, phone calls and follow through on my part (I've been a customer for over 13 years) - these two oversized corporate entities AT&T and DirecTV don't know what the other is doing.

    I've been placated with phrases like "We're escalating your case"... and small credits put on my account to keep me quiet. One district manager is finally following through, and she's speaking to me in precise corporate lingo, with an offer to accept a partial deal that shuts me out of further action if I don't accept this deal in 48 hours - which doesn't get me even halfway what I'm asking for. I understand she's just doing her job. So I filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office in my state yesterday, they'll investigate and review my complaint, we'll see where that goes!

I paid my final AT&T bill for $83.64 on March 31, 2018. I also paid $184.60 on March 31, 2018 for AT&T non-returned equipment fee. AT&T made a debit withdrawal (posted) from my checking account in the amount of $268.24 on April 2, 2018.

    I have a AT&T credit in the amount of $184.60 in my former account ** dated April 25, 2018. Someone at AT&T did not bother to do their job correctly. Because I am wasting my time on this complaint right now, AT&T can expect more complaints than this one. I will also be on the Internet blasting the company and the CEO. Maybe next time someone will do their job and check/balance before they send bogus bills trying to rip off paid in full customers. Apologies will not suffice. Expect plenty more complaints. I am just getting started...

    I have continually been going back and forth with them not accepting any responsibility for their mistake. They have lied to the BBB Atlanta regarding sending me the bill after it was paid. To top it off, ATT left a message on my voicemail on 5/16/18 stating that they are going to send me a bill (150.00) for the equipment and their billing will determine whether to refund my money. As if that makes any sense. ATT replied to BBB Atlanta by stating that they would be sending me a response via USPS. That never came. They attempted to reach me by phone several times but I respond to my complaints through my complaints being that businesses like to lie and tell BBB or whoever that the issue is resolved after phone conversations and the BBB or whoever will believe that and close the complaint. So I never respond via the phone. I need written records always. I am not backing down but I think ATT thinks I will. They do not know me...

    They will lie to you whether or not it is online in a chat or on the phone talking to you live. I had a problem with not receiving anything close to the speed that I contracted for. I signed up for 50 Mbps for $50 a month of course it was a bundle package deal with DirecTV being another $50 for TV service. Well l was getting around 3.0 Mbps every day. I signed a 2 year price lock guarantee which I had to call every month to try to keep them to that price which I never could. I also called every month several times to complain about the speed of the Internet which they called and checked and double checked if that speed was available in my area which it was So I was told. Well I went all the up to corporate complain about it and they told us that our area couldn't get that speed. Never mind the fact they still made me pay for the 50 Mbps for $50 every month.

    I was patient and went thru this for over a year with ATT and them saying they were going to fix it which it never happened. Well when I got fed up and demand that they do something about it and that I wasn't going to keep paying for a service I wasn't getting for another year because I am in a 2 year contract. That when instead of admitting and correcting their mistake (which is all I was asking for in the first place, and to get the service I was paying for no more no less). Every day I called which was a week every single day to try to get them to fix it and I found out later that every day I called they took and put a new contract for another 2 years each time (each day) that I called them. So I winded up with them signing me up for a $100 plus package every day for a week one on top of each other and they were all activated immediately before I got off the phone with them.

    The last straw when they lied to me telling me that they were sending a tech out to my home for 4 days in a row and NOT A ONE OF THEM SHOWED UP OR CALLED, TEXTED, NOTHING. I had to call ATT and ask why the tech had showed up that day after waiting for him all day long. Oh I almost forgot the best part. They told me that I didn't have a 2 year contract with them for internet and DirecTV. That I only had it with DirecTV and I only had a year contract with ATT for my internet service. Well I had a physical copy of the contract I signed so I know what it said. And I signed it as one deal one piece of paper and if one company breach their part of the contract I wouldn't be responsible to pay the rest of the contract of the other company regardless of how much time I had left on the contract.

    Well ATT said they would let me out of their side of the contract but if I wanted to terminate the contract with DirecTV that I would have to pay the early termination fee cause I still had a year contract with them. Well I found out later after they had activated one of the bundle package I DID NOT AGREE TO and I found out to my disbelief that ATT could get the speed that I contracted for all along. Because as soon as they said I didn't have a contracted with me a they bumped my speed up (again doing that without my consent) and their prices up for it magically my area could get that internet speed. ATT will tell you what you want to hear whether or not the first representative or the man at the top of the totem pole. It doesn't matter as long and they will tell you whatever they think you want to hear and what you want them to do for you. And then turn around and put you into a new 2 year contract every time you call in to complain.

    As for me I am still shaking my head in disbelief of the nerve and gall that ATT has the nerve to think that I am SO STUPID to sign up and pay their company more money for services I wouldn't get for 2 more years when I wasn't getting anything close to what I agreed to pay for and I contracted with them for. Stay as far as away from this company as you can because they just want you to play their game and letting them take the money you work so hard for and give you nothing that you agreed to and wanted them to provide you with.

    In 2017-18 went to Mexico. My Int'l plan did not work, could not call ANY Mexican number. I was there 5 months and could not call 800 numbers so could NOT call AT&T for assistance. Back in the states and after HOURS on the phone for 3 weeks of AT&T trying to get it to work they figured it out - the "feature" I have been PAYING for wasn't added (or turned on)!!! But they would only compensate me for the 3 weeks I have been calling to fix it even though I was never able to call them from Mexico AND I now want to switch to VERIZON but:

    To put salt in my wounds the 2 7Plus iPhones I recently bought (before Mexico) are the only 2 models that are NOT compatible with VERIZON. Of course no one is going to tell you that. So we are stuck with AT&T until we pay down the phones and VERIZON has a good enough promotion so we won't lose a ton of money. So why didn't I change carriers in 2016 - I really thought it would get better and it is such a hassle to switch. AT&T NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN.

    Thanks for your vote!
