An in-Home expert showed up in our house after our AT&T fiber installation. He promised to give us two free phones if we purchased one with them. Six months later and we have not gotten one bill correct. They are still charging for both free phones. It has been a nightmare dealing with them as they are not responsive and AT&T store and phone groups cannot solve my problem. Needless to say we are extremely frustrated and have not closed our account because of the 2 year contract.

Purchased iPhone X and phone was not set up correctly. I spent several hours at home doing so. It was good I am technically competent. Only one (1) person was working in store and she stated that was the norm. We are talking a new release of the “X” plus it was the holiday season and AT&T was located in a mall. Girl was interrupted numerous times during the transaction and she wound up giving me another man's receipt with his acct number, telephone number and address. When I noticed error, I returned to store. She laughed it off and apologized and thankfully had my receipt among a pile of others. Poor customer service. I don’t fault her. I fault a company who could well afford more reps in their store. I bought the most expensive iPhone plus a case. Well over $1000 purchase.

I spend about a total of 4 hours on the phone plus another full day with different ATT reps all for a complete waste of time. I wanted to upgrade my cell phone. They told me if I get DirecTV I can get half off of iPhone X and get another upgrade for my 2nd line with $350 off. So I went for it. But then I noticed the email confirmations do not mention these offers. Only the regular prices.
So I called. Was told by one operator that the promotions are valid, but another one would tell me the offers do not even exist. I also found the DirecTV account is not even set up!!! So they set up the DirecTV account again, the supervisor reviewed and approved it all, gave me assurance that an email with all the details of the offer will be sent soon, etc. Long story short, they lied. The emails never came. The offers don't exist. So, I am returning my new phones before the 14 day grace period is over, cancelling the DirecTV account and closing my cellular account with ATT (after being with them for over 12 years). They are a bunch of crooks. Be careful!!! Don't trust them unless they give it in writing.

I have a combined bill with AT&T. What that really means is no one at AT&T can help you. My daughter lost her cell phone so I was trying to pay off her phone so she could get a new one. Sounds easy, but apparently that was my first mistake. I called 611 yesterday, May 8. The first person I spoke to sounded like the elevator did not reach the top floor, if you know what I mean. He tried to pay the phone off and then proceeded to tell me the system was down because he could not pay it off. He assured me if I went into the AT&T store, they could help me. So, I go to the AT&T store in Pleasant Hill, CA and they tell me they can’t help me either. I need to call customer service. So, I don’t leave the store and call customer service. Well the combined billing department was closed now.
So, first thing this morning I call 611 AGAIN. This time I get to talk to Michelle. She then explained to me that she did not see any of my phone numbers in her system. I said, "I have 5 cell phones and one landline and you don’t see anything?" She then proceeded to transfer me to someone else who, before I could ask her name, transferred me to Charm. Well, I explained everything to Charm and she couldn’t find any of my phone numbers either. She then said she would have a supervisor call me back in 30 minutes, because you know they were all busy at 8:20am. It’s now 11:00 and of course no one has called me back.
Finally, I chatted with Romar. He attempted to pay off my daughter’s cell phone, but could not. His supervisor could not. At that point, I asked him to un-combine my accounts. Clearly, AT&T has no way of helping customers with combined accounts. I was then told that this expedited request would take 12-24 hours. Well that’s just great. AT&T has no problem taking my money every month but no way of helping me? My second mistake was having AT&T as my phone carrier.

14 months ago I went to an AT&T store and did the Buy One Get One free phones, and was told I had 24 months to pay it off. The sales person said, "If you want to pay it off early you can as long as you pay the entire balance of the phone, without any issues." Well upon trying to do that to go back to my GoPhone plan with them I was told, "OH NO, if you do that then you have to pay full price for both phones." What a rip off. Be very careful about doing these buy one get one free. If I could go back to the go plan, my bill for my 2 lines would be $50 less a month and I would get a lot more data. I had to drop my data to almost nothing in order to keep my bill down. Data with AT&T is very expensive. I have these 2 S7 phones too expensive to utilize it like I could if I could just pay off the phone and go back to my go plan.
Also they will tell you your 1st bill will be a little higher, please be sitting when you open it, it's about twice what you were expecting, and good luck trying to figure it out. AT&T did apologize for the rep telling me this, but I'm still stuck with this for another 9 months. Just beware before you do this. My bills were different every month until I call the corporate office, and talked to them. At least now my bill is the same every month. Hoping people will look into this before doing it.

On 4-10-18 my wife went and got a new cell phone. The plan we had was good, yet the salesman talked her into changing it to a cheaper and more data package. Well we get the first months bill only to see it cost more. We asked to go back to our old plan, but he now said it was no longer available. As I’m not a lawyer, I do know that “BAIT AND SWITCH” practices are illegal. I’m a simple guy and just want it back the way it was. AT&T’s customer service center overseas couldn’t even look up my bill to try and fix it. I tried the live chat and they just stopped sending me messages. I had to go into the same AT&T store to only find out they can’t change it back. I guess our 25 years of paying them monthly service fees means nothing. Bait-and-switch. Noun. The action (generally illegal) of advertising goods that are an apparent bargain, with the intention of substituting inferior or more expensive goods. "A bait-and-switch scheme".

I have been paying AT&T for cell phone insurance for a iPhone7 128gb purchased on 9/25/17. The phone was stolen and I made a claim to Asurion based upon the information AT&T gave me which was wrong so the claim was denied. AT&T would not let me speak to a manager upon multiple request. Spent 10+ hours on phone plus additional hours for research and paperwork to resolve matter and it is not done. They messed up the account and refuse to send new replacement phone though I have paid for the coverage. I expect to spend another 10+ hours on resolving matter and contacting appropriated authorities on the matter. Gross incompetence and negligence to maintain thorough account notes when asked to do so and promised, only to call back and have minimum if any notation. Gross incompetence and negligence to maintain accurate account records and stand behind sold warranties.
I was told there was nothing they could do except send me an older model Galaxy phone which is subpar to the iPhone purchased which still has a payment plan. I denied the offer as this is not acceptable to steal from consumers. I asked multiple people for name & address to have court papers sent to and who is registered agent and wasn't helped except given arbitration phone number. They lied to me and said I couldn't do small claims court. Lastly I called corporate office and spoke to a man who said he was in the Office of the President. I explained everything and he assured me I would get a call back in two hours to take care of the problem. If I did not receive the call then I should call back and it would be taken care of immediately. I called 2.5 hours later and no one answered, no one has returned any calls.

I wrote a review awhile ago but never heard anything yet. I bought 2 Galaxy 8 Plus from AT&T paying 30 a month for them plus 30 for the service plus the reg bill. 1 of them just stop working so I took it into the AT&T store in Egg Harbor Township where they told me it was nothing they could do 'cause the phone wouldn't even come on or respond to anything they were doing and even though my warranty was still good the small crack at the bottom voided that warranty. I said, "What a 1000 phone and you can't help me." He told to try someone that fixed phones so I took it to Batteries Plus in Northfield NJ. The man there told me it was a manufactory problem and I should call the company so I did and they said it was nothing they could do about it.
She said that I could purchase another phone for $30 a month for 3 months. I told I wasn't doing that. Afterall I'm still paying for the broken phone and its services on it even though it doesn't work. She then waived the $30 fee and sent it to me. It was cheap and broke on a week so I called back and ask them to turn off the phone service and I'll just pay for the phone. However when I received my bill this month they charged me for the phone and want me to pay for it plus my reg bill. I called back and then told me I have to reactivate the service in order not to be charged for the whole thing so no phone but I have to pay for it and the service. I still have the phone but they won't even take a look at it to see if they could fix it. PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm writing this review because I'm still having a hard time fathoming the conversation I just had with AT&T's chat support line. First, some background. I purchase a special cruise package plan that allowed me to have unlimited talk and text while being on a cruise ship in international waters. The plan also included 200 MB of data (btw - you have to purchase the $90 data plan in order to purchase the $10 unlimited text and talk plan). When I ordered the plan, I told the support person that we did not need the data part of the plan and wanted to know how to configure the phone to ensure no data was consumed. I was told that we didn't have to make any changes to the configuration.
During the cruise, I did nothing more than text and make phone calls and after the first few days I received a text message from AT&T that I had exceeded the data plan and was being billed an additional $106. I had to call AT&T support 4 more times before I finally got someone on the phone who helped me configure the phone so it would not use data but still be able to text and talk (this person was very knowledgeable and helpful). I was told that we would be credited back for the overage and they were adding 200 MB to cover the data usage overage. When I received the next bill, it still included the $106 overage charge but also a $50 credit. I contacted AT&T via their Chat service on my phone.
I was completely floored that the support person said they may lose their job and they have a family to consider. This is just wrong in so many ways. There are three possible explanations for this response, all of which are abhorrent. 1. The company AT&T uses to operate their Chat is underhanded and will say anything to keep from crediting a customer. 2. The company AT&T uses actually fires their support reps for providing quality customer support. 3. AT&T itself has a policy that compels their support reps to say anything to keep from crediting a customer.
In the end, I was connected (via phone) to a "Loyalty Specialist" (after another half hour on hold) who was actually just a regular customer support person who answers phone call ins and had no idea why I had been connected to him. He looked at my bill and found that I had actually been billed for the addition plan twice. He gave me a credit of $172 even when I told him I was only expecting to be credited the difference between $106 and the $50 credit. In the end, the right thing was done by AT&T. Of course, it took two hours of Chat and phone calls to make it happen; not to mention all the previous calls I had to make to support. Again, I'm just completely shocked by the message that the rep could be fired and that the manager simply could not do anything to credit my account.

I became a customer in 2008, and there were 2 lines on my Account, but my daughter left after her upgrade experience in March 2018! My phone stopped working on March 24, 2018, and I have always ordered my own phone online, but because my phone was broken, I discovered that I could not receive the confirmation number to have the phone sent, because my phone was broken and that is there only way to complete the order! They give us no other way whether it be email or text! So I had no choice other than to call customer service and that is where my Hell began!
The outsourcing people they hire don't understand half of what you tell them, and when asked to speak to someone within the United States, I was told by one of them and I quote, "I am in Mexico, and it is right next to Texas, so Technically I am in the United States"!!! I was told to keep calling until I get someone in the States! So I did, and that person ordered a phone that was a prepaid phone!
I am not a prepaid customer, but while looking at my account the person didn't even notice what they had done, and as a loyal customer I was told that I had to pay for the phone before they would ship it, but when I tried placing the order it did not require that I pay in advance, and prior to my daughter leaving she ordered a 500 dollar iPhone and was not required to pay anything in advance, she had a Galaxy 5, and immediately returned the iPhone because it was too small, and then she closed her account, so when I found out that it was a prepaid phone that the Customer service person ordered, I called immediately and canceled it, but was told that they would NOT order the correct phone until the money had been returned to me by THEM!
I was stunned, and I said, "I didn't order the wrong phone! You did, so I am being forced to keep paying you for service that I cannot use without a phone even longer, because of an error by your people?" And I was told YES! So I waited 2 days, and when the money was returned I called back to order the right phone! Only to find out two days later that it was cancelled by their system, and they did not know why or how that happened! They did not recognize the order number that I was Given By one of Their People!!! So I had to Order Again!
It's now March 29th, 2018! I was told by an agent by the name of Sherelle that I should not and would not have to pay for the phone after ALL that I had been through! She was very intelligent and adjusted my bill because It should have been done after my daughter left, because I was paying for a MB plan, but my phone was a flip phone and did not run on MB's! They were charging me for her MB plan after she left in March! I was assured that nothing else would go wrong, so a few days later I called while tracking the phone's arrival, and was told that they didn't see where I was charged (WTH), but my VISA card said they did, and I BELIEVED VISA! I WAS THEN ASKED BY AN AGENT TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION TO ONE OF THEIR RETAIL STORES TO PROVE THAT they had charged me! And bring the phone and show them the emails to track a phone that they did not show an order for!!!
AND I BLEW UP, I SAID AND I QUOTE, "ARE YOU SERIOUS? NONE OF THESE MISTAKES ARE MINE, AND I KNOW HAVE TO WASTE GAS AND TIME to prove to you that you didn't send a phone that I need to use your service? And you did charge me?", and she said yes!!! I couldn't handle that anymore that day, so I hung up and called back the next morning and by then I received the phone that they told me that they did not order and did not charge me for!!! I ask about the refund, because at this point all that had gone on, I deserved it and then some! I was told that another phone was being sent to me, it was ordered the same day that the phone that I received that they denied sending was ordered!!!
(OMG!!!) I BLEW UP AGAIN, AND SAID, "HOW STUPID ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHY WOULD YOU ORDER A SECOND PHONE? AFTER YOU ACTIVATED the first one?". They did not have a order number or at least the idiot I was speaking to said that he did not see one, I did not get any emails on this second phone as I had for the correct 1st phone! I am told by this idiot that "I can keep the second phone since it's free??? And if something happens to the first phone, I will have a spare!!! And I lost it and said, "You know good and well that you do not give away free back up phones! And instead of giving me my money back is this some way to justify it?" he says, "No ma'am. It's free!" I then say, "I want my money, and I am sending it back when and if I get it!"
I HAVE COPD, SO STRESS LIKE THIS IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE! I HAND UP ON HIM AND WAIT ANOTHER DAY! TO CALM DOWN AND try and fix their mistake, it's now may 2nd, 2018! I returned the phone to the post office on may 7th after receiving it on the 6th! I was told that I would not get the money they charged me for the 1st phone until I sent the phone that I did not order back to them! I then said, "So you're going to hold the money up to 14 more days? If the phone is free how can you keep the money until you get a free phone back! That would mean that you did charge me for that phone! And you are holding my money hostage in order to get back a free phone that should not of been ordered! I did not make any of these errors. You did! But I am such a valuable customer that you are going to continue to torture me!"
AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER YOU SHOULD RETURN MY MONEY AND TRUST THAT I WILL RETURN A PHONE THAT I DID NOT ORDER AND CANNOT use, because a customer can only use phone at a time! But instead I am slapped in the face over and over by the inept idiots that work for you, but what's really hilarious is that my daughter worked for AT&T executive teleconference from 1996 until 2003, and she was the person speaking to them on my behalf for the duration of this issue!
IT'S NOW MAY 8TH AND I RECEIVED A CALL OUT OF THE BLUE FROM THEM, AND THE YOUNG LADY TELLS ME THAT SHE IS CALLING ABOUT MY account, and she will return the money that they didn't take (remember) when I return the phone that I did not order! And I let her have it! I already knew that! She wasn't calling to offer me back the money for the days that I paid them for service without a phone!!! She was being very stern and cocky! I never asked to be called back by them! I had sent the phone back as advised days ago, so this morning's call was like here let me piss on you one last time, I told her that I had sent it back, and once I was sure that they had it that I was no longer going to be a loyal idiot!
THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER OPTIONS! SHE IMMEDIATELY TELLS ME THAT AT&T DOESN'T PRORATE, AND MY NEXT BILLING CYCLE BEGINS tomorrow the 9th at midnight, but she also knew that I cannot close the account until they receive the phone that I did not order! And would then be forced to wait until June 8th to leave! She literally sounded like, "Haha! You can leave but we will get another month from you until you can do it, so take that!"
I AM BEYOND FURIOUS! I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR 10 YEARS!!! THEY WILL RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THE DAYS THAT I DID NOT HAVE A hone due to their errors! And I am forced to stay for another month, because as she stated, "We don't prorate!" but they do when they open an account and or when you update your account, so that was a lie! They don't prorate when it's to benefit a customer or even if doing to fix a mistake they made! I wish I could sue them for all the pain and suffering that dealing with them has caused me! I wish I could get every nickel that I ever paid these $$$$ hungry lying inept people have received from me... #beyondangry.
Updated on 05/10/2018: This is a follow up to my original complaint, and I would like to thank Spellchecker for messing it up, but I called to confirm the return of the second phone that I did not order. The phone is in Texas and in transit to their facility in Fort Worth, but as the games continue, I am told that I should of sent the phone that I paid for and was supposed to be free back, and that I should of kept the second phone that was sent by a ghost! The phone that I have is the phone that they charged me for? So the refund is for that phone! I was told by their loyalty department that I did not have to pay because of all of the error's on their behalf! The second phone has nothing to do with the issue! I was told that it's supposed to be the free one, but that makes no sense that they sent 1 and charged me, and the second one for free?
However in tracking the second phone, I was told that I had to send back the phone I was charged for as well, and then they would give me back the money that they should not of charged me for??? I say the phone isn't a return, it was offered to me for free because of errors, so I should not have to send it back? Because I will be paying for service (My billing cycle begins today) that I will not be able to use, and this idiot says, "I know and WE can DO that". It doesn't matter if you have a phone or not! So I hung up and called again thinking that I would get someone with a BRAIN! But no such luck! This idiot tells me that she can refund the amount to my bill, but that is not how you got the money that you were not supposed to get, and if I allow that, it's not a gift to me, it's a gift to you in the order of your paying yourself in advance with money that you stole from me technically! As an apology for your inept employees!!!
R E A L L Y? NO... I want the money back the same way that you got it, and that is back on my VISA card, and I am told that THEY CAN'T DO THAT UNTIL they get the second phone back! So I tell her that 2 people before you told me that they needed me to send both of them back? And she says, "Know we only need one"!!! But I guarantee you that once they receive the second (free phone) phone that they will tell me to send the other one back, so I hung up and contacted the Attorney General's Office! I told them the issue from day one to the present, and I can file an official complaint! So stay tuned for the next idiot move by this company! I don't want a credit to my account! I am closing it, so you won't have an account to bill it to... How stupid are these people!

The customer service online is too bad. I found there was Multi-Device Protection Pack - Insurance $25.97 and Multi-Device Protection Pack - Support $9.02 on my bill at the early 2018. I don't need this protection pack, and asked the customer service online to cancel it. I was told the Protection Pack will be canceled, and there will be no such fee next month. One month later, I found the Protection Pack totally $34.99 was still on my bill and was still charged. I asked the customer service online to cancel it again. I have asked the customer service online 3-4 times, and every time I was told the Protection Pack will be canceled, and there will be no more charge. Today, I checked my bill, and found AT&T had still charged me this Protection Pack totally $34.99.

I hope you never have to call customer service for any reason. Everyone has a different excuse for why they can't help you and they always try to pass you off to another person or department. It's really ridiculous that a 10-20 min call can easily turn into a 2 hour call. I do not recommend their services to even my worst enemies.

On March 30th 2018 I called my AT&T Cellular Provider to discuss Internet services and hotspots. Upon calling I spoke to a representative who informed me that there were family data plans available to me that would allow my family and I to obtain unlimited data services as well as utilize our phones as hotspots. The Representative I spoke to also informed me that this plan would be available to my family and I at the same rate we were paying for a current plan. Upon asking several times if changing my data plan would incur an increase in my monthly billing and/or penalties or fees for the change the representative stated no I would pay amount that I was currently paying monthly due to the plans being comparable in pricing. The Representative stated that the only difference in my plan would be that we would be able to utilize the hotspot feature to obtain Internet access on the go that everything else would remain the same.
The representative provided a projected bill for the month of April which was In the range of my previous and current monthly billed amounts So I decided to accept the offer and change my data plan. As projected for the month of April my cellular bill was in the $350 range. Which is normally what I would pay monthly prior to the data plan change, Now for may's bill the price increased to $736. Upon My initial surprise and shock to the amount but I was being billed by AT&T I called customer service to discuss the preposterous amount. I spoke with several representatives in regards to what transpired on March 30th And how I would require a supervisor or manager to review the audio recording from my call to the customer service department on March 30th to prove that I was coerced and misled by their representative who provided blatant false information in order to get me to switch plans.
That I have in fact not agreed to this preposterous plan change that has resulted in a $736 monthly charge. To which the representative transferred me to a supervisor who stated that they did not have access to said recordings to verify my claim thus being I retain responsibility for the amount charged and would have to pay the amount in full. After some back-and-forth in my informing them that I would not pay that preposterous amount due to the company's and their representatives' illegal and deceitful sales tactics. To which they responded by apologizing and offering me is $70 discount off the bill. They are currently still attempting to strong arm me into paying $657.

My son left Feb 12th for Marine bootcamp. He contacted all of his creditors upon leaving including AT&T. Capital One, Amazon, Car Note, no problem, placed his account in Military leave status. I called, verified his info, they gave me no problems. I have spoke with over 10 of AT&T representatives, occasionally being hung up on, transferred multiple times, also informed it was taken care of 3 times including by chat with a rep (screenshot messages to prove it). I even made a payment for my son. Per the representative, I had to make a payment in order to place his account on military leave, so I made the payment and was informed his account was placed on military leave until I received a letter in the mail stating his account was sent to collections.
I called. Was transferred to 3 representatives then I got Brenda ** in the fraud dept. She said she couldn't do anything to help me because my name was not on the account. I didn't like her tone or her customer service. My son went in the AT&T store before he left and informed them and it still wasn't placed on military leave. The service AT&T provided is not acceptable. I get that I am his mother and my name is not on his account but I verified everything and no other department at AT&T gave me a problem with discussing his account but Brenda ** and since she feels it's fraudulent. I feel AT&T should give me the money they took from me over the phone to place his number back in good standing back.
If anyone committed a fraudulent act it is AT&T for taking my money for my son's account and not reinstating his account to good standing. My complaint is the poor customer service my son and I received with AT&T and he is deployed serving this Country. My family and I will be searching for another phone provider. The being hung up on, rudeness is not acceptable.

I have been with AT&T over a year, until recently one customer service told me that I was qualified for 2 free phones. We are in family plan of 10 people, I told the customer service that we are 10 already, we can not add anymore phone. He told me that I can use those phone as home phone or something. Because I knew someone who did not have phone, I accepted the offer since were free phones. I did not use them until the following month that I gave one to my friend for free, then the bill came and it had over 200 & extra to what I normal pay. I called customer service, reminded them what the offer said, they told me that I had to pay those phone and they have put them on separate account owned by me while I have my own phone, absolutely did not need these two phones.
We argued over two hours. Still have me paid. Then I asked them to cancel the 2nd plan, and I will return the 2 phones. One was still in box sealed. They denied, saying it's over 16 days, I canceled the plan anyway. The following bill they charged 230 dollars for each phone. It was completely ridiculous, I have never feel robbed in my life. Offered phones that I did not need and got charged over 600 dollars. It's unbelievable. I wish there will be help anyway to see if I can get my money back. If there is a way you can away with AT&T, STAY AWAY. IF NOT DO NOT ACCEPT MOST OF THE THINGS THEY OFFER YOU CLAIMING THEY ARE FREE.

I have been with AT&T since at least 2005. Every so often I had some surprises on my bill that I would have to call and ask about and they would reimburse. I did have to check my bill every time to make sure that was not the case but I thought that was normal? Anyway I finally got unlimited everything, and tied in to the U-verse internet. What could go wrong, right? I was promised $222.00 for unlimited and $40.00 for internet with HBO for as long as I maintained my wireless service. In comes March 2018. I get a bill for $500.00 dollars. Call as I usually do to get that changed. They refuse and say I have to pay $500 when not even a year has passed since I first got the service. Naturally I want to cancel.
Two months later and several days worth of phone calls and people saying to trust them. They cancelled it but they cannot provide me with confirmation, I am still haven't had my AT&T service cancelled. In fact now it is $700.00 and climbing each month. Don't get AT&T unless you want to be constantly reviewing your bill for inaccuracies and if you don't like it and stop using their service, tough. As they will keep billing you for it. Kinda hard to get up to date if your bill just keeps increasing especially when you think an account is cancelled and start with another service.

In February 2018 we attempted to reduce cost of our two cell phones service and talked to our local AT&T office. They said that if we changed from Verizon to AT&T they would pay us, (via gift cards), $650 per line, I.e. $1300 for the two lines, to be sent in "10 days to two weeks" Seemed too good to be true so we got it in writing. After a few days deliberation ('too good to be true?'), we returned and received the same info. from another sales associate - so we changed to AT&T. Our Verizon termination fee was $638.08. We paid this soon after to avoid a late payment history.
After two weeks, no cards received so called AT&T main office and asked when will we receive them? Were then told we had to apply for reimbursement and value of gift cards would be $1300 MINUS the cost of the Verizon termination. We explained what we had been told - and confirmed - initially AT&T said we must conform to their requirements. I submitted the form required. 2 weeks ago, checked status this am and was told that they have no record - must re-submit. Whether this is all local misinformation from poorly-trained associates or a deliberate corporate plan to deceive - we are still $638 poorer. Will resubmit and will record here the outcome.

I’ve been with them from the beginning. Wouldn’t fix problems. I left and now they will not lock my phone as it’s an emergency that they wouldn’t expedite! My husband is on oxygen and they were told that. They were telling me at the new store where I went to as they were so poor in service. They would push it through so I could have my phone code to unlock. It’s now 7.5 hours and no way I could get in touch with them as I have no phone. Nothing.

In September 2017 a friend and I went to an AT&T Wireless store because she wanted to buy a new cell and was looking for a cell phone plan. The salesperson offered her an iPhone 6 for about $200 if she got a prepaid plan. I told the salesperson that I was interested to buy one for a family member who does not live in the US. He said that all I had to do was to buy the cellphone for $200 and to pay for 1 month of the same prepaid plan, so I went ahead and I bought the phone. At that time, I had a regular cell phone plan also with AT&T, which was more expensive than the prepaid one, so I switched my plan to the AT&T prepaid plan.
In March 2018 I met with my family member and gave her the new cell, but the problem is that it is locked and we cannot unlock it. I contacted AT&T Wireless twice, and explained my problem. I have requested to unlock the cell twice, and both times my request was denied. I told them that I believed what the salesman had told me, but they say I had to pay for the plan for 6 months in order to unlock the cell phone. This is something the salesman never told me (if he had told me that, I wouldn’t have bought the phone).
I also told customer service that I am an AT&T Wireless prepaid cell phone customer, and I have been paying for my own service for 8 months, so I asked them to use my plan to unlock my family member device (my cell phone is unlocked already), but they refused it. They said that the plan has to be linked to the phones IMEI’s number. I am very disappointed with their customer service, because The salesman was not honest. And also very disappointed with their lack of flexibility in reviewing my case. I am an excellent customer, always pay my bills on time, but they don’t care about it. I am going to look for another cell phone provider.

On March 24, 2018 I entered an AT&T Authorized Dealer Store to purchase a new phone. The employee told me about a current promotion where if I purchased one iPhone X another iPhone X would be given to me at no charge. It was a BOGO promotion. I had him verify everything because I wanted to make sure I understood the fine print. He said if I purchase one phone for the full price of approximately $1,000.00 there would be no charge for the second phone providing I made the first 3 monthly payments on it. After that time my account would be credited back the 3 monthly payments I had made thus making it a free phone. I wanted to pay off the full price of the first phone right then but was told I had to make a least one payment and after which time I could pay off the full price of the first phone. I agreed but again had him go over everything numerous times because I didn’t want any misunderstandings.
There was also another employee in the store who confirmed everything his colleague said. This second employee even assisted with the transaction. The employee activated the phones and I went home thinking everything was fine. Even so I was still somewhat leery since I have had issues with AT&T employees adding services to my account which I didn’t authorize. I called the AT&T Customer Service number just to verify everything I was told. After looking into my account the customer service representative did indeed confirm that what I was told and sold is correct. The shock came on April 27, 2018 when I called AT&T to pay off the price of the phone. I was told that the AT&T authorized dealer made a mistake and should have given me an iPhone 8 and not the 10 as the free phone.
No matter what I said they told me I had to pay full price for both of the phones. I went back to the dealer and he apologized and got on the phone with AT&T but was told there was nothing they could do because I should have contacted them before 14 days which is written on the contract. It is true that the contract does state something about 14 days but it also states that I’m receiving a BOGO promotion. So they are holding me to my side of the contract but they are not standing by their side of the agreement. The employee admitted to misunderstanding but AT&T still would not honor their side of the contract. I came home in tears because I now owe AT&T $2,000.00 for the phones. I looked on the internet and found many other similar complaints against AT&T for not honoring their BOGO promotions after the contract is signed.
My feeling is that the employees are doing this deliberately to make a higher commission knowing that the consumer is now on the hook to pay for these expensive phones. I also think I was deliberately victimized by the young men in the AT&T store because I am a senior citizen. I truly believe AT&T deliberately and knowing scammed me and many others. I know there are many others out there that are most likely not reporting this fraud which I’m sure is what AT&T is counting on. They are a huge company and know that we consumers are tiny and don’t have the money and resources to defend ourselves.

This review is a follow-up to my previous review (April 19, 2018), which highlighted the poor customer service experience involved with setting up my account (8+ hours of my time, simply to purchase the product and sign up for the service of the Netgear Nighthawk fixed wireless internet plan... only to have them put in the wrong personal details). That alone was unacceptable - but what I found today makes it all even worse. Today, I logged into my account to check when the billing period will end (because it somehow takes 3-8 weeks for the auto-payment to begin working?!), only to see that instead of the 50GB plan I signed up for (details attached), I now have been changed to a plan which provides 10GB for $115/month?!
My account history indicates that for some reason the plan was changed recently... not only did I NOT change the plan (why would anyone pay twice the amount for a quarter of the data??), I wasn't even notified of the change. Utterly unacceptable. I'll be filing a report with the BBB and Federal Trade Commission. I have the names of multiple customer service representatives, recorded conversations, and a surplus of documentation to verify my experience; and now it looks like I'll be forced to use it.

The least I can say about that company is they are LIARS LIARS LIARS. So I got their service in December 2017 by signing up over the phone because I was tired of the issues Sprint been having lately in my state and town. So after 12 years I left to go to AT&T (BIG MISTAKE). Anyway I signed up for their BOGO and paid all the sales taxes of course upfront on four iPhone plus which is few hundreds and I have been paying for four phones every month for four month now. Every time I call to get an answer about that BOGO it is like you talking to aliens. In the beginning it used to be, “Oh sorry just wait for next month” then after the third month it changed to be complete nonsense and LIES and finally they SAID IT ("you ARE NOT GETTING THE BOGO").
Even with my contract saying clearly my deal was a BOGO WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED, like no other service was required for me to get that offer. And that actually was today like an hour ago with their loyalty department, really what a joke to even have such a department while you know you are lying to new customers and simply won’t care after you get them to sign the lease. What a shame, so now I have been four month with that shady company paying for four phones while my contract clear about me to pay only for two.
The craziest part is that I asked the rep from their LOYALTY DEPARTMENT today to see if my contract has the BOGO IN IT AND WITH NO STRINGS and she said, “Ya you are right. You see that”, so you were like, “So where's the problem.” She gave more nonsense how they going keep investigating, What I don’t understand if that’s my contract from them, why and how they are just doing this! SHAME ON YOU ATT. And to everyone even thinking about joining them, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE! You’ll regret it big time. And believe me their service is not that great.

They went to ATT store and bought $9.000 worth of iPhone X, iPods, pencil, ear pods, etc and added 5 lines. We call the Fraud department from the ATT store.

Call ATT. They reported my daughter phone stolen (the hacker). ATT put the line again for her.
I immediately went to Verizon and port my line and my husband line and other lines because I did not want to take the risk to lose my number of 16 years for my business. I could not port my daughter because she lives in Florida and we needed to send her a phone compatible with Verizon. Next day my daughter calls again, "Mom I do not have service." Call ATT again. It was reported lost, this time took me longer but we got the line back and ATT told me they have notes saying do not reinstate this line unless they change the device (of course that was the hacker calling). Next day Friday 7 pm, "Mom I do not have line." I call ATT. They could not bring the line back because the hacker change the sim card to a new device and only the FRAUD DEPARTMENT can do it and they were close already.

He called again the next day and told me that they had worked something out and that I should send the phone and the watch to an address in Florida (this was the 14th).
He also called on the 16th to see if I mailed the phone and asked for the tracking number. In the meantime, I also order the Apple watch because of the phone which arrived Saturday the 14th. I put both in the box and addressed it with the address that was given. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: There is no James or Jamie that works for AT&T per the agent on the 16th when I called to let AT&T know I had mailed my package. Also what I paid to get the phone and apple watch will not be refunded. I intercepted the phone and the watch and picked it up 04/23/18. I am told that I will be charged restocking fee.
SOMEONE GOT INTO MY ACCOUNT AND HAS MY INFORMATION. I can't get my money back, my bank account has been frozen for my protection, this Jamie or James has my name and number and called 4/23 to see why I did not send the package.

Here is a tip for all of you folks who have AT&T wireless and are billed in advance for your next month's service. We switched to Verizon because AT&T just didn't have good coverage where we were. We did this on 4/16/18. Our billing cycle was from 3/13 - 4/12. On that bill we are asked to pre-pay the next billing cycle's service (which was from 4/13 - 5/12). Phone service with AT&T was cancelled on 4/16/18. So when I called to ask them to prorate me for the time I cannot use the phone (4/17 - 5/12) they said they cannot because I cancelled "in the middle of a billing cycle" and that they do that to "protect the customer from overages".
Well, there is no possible way I can go over my data limit now cause the phone has NO SERVICE, yet they insisted that they cannot prorate me to "protect me". More like they want to get as much $$ out of me on the last bill. I had no trouble paying for the days I used the phone in April (4/13/18 - 4/16/18), just seems unfair to charge me for days I CANNOT use the phone with AT&T. Also seems a bit illegal to me asking to pay for a service then denying that service. So the Tip: If you are switching providers (which I highly recommend, go to someone who values your business) make sure you do it on the LAST DAY of your billing cycle to avoid paying for an entire month of wireless service you cannot use. BTW we were well past our 2 year commitment so that was not the issue, just corporate greed.

For potential customers, please note that you are paying for the name, not great service. If you cancel, please do your due diligence and make sure that all accounts are closed. Customer support is not there to help you close out your accounts and any complaints made online will disappear into the void, any phone calls you make should just ask for the manager and then, even then, you should expect your case order to end up empty handed and that any leftover 'fees' will go to collections.

First I'd like to say that after speaking with 8 different reps I was told 8 different stories. My February bill was over 500.00. March bill over 300, April bill over 300. Made a payment arrangement for March 29th and called the payment in at 4:30 am on the 30. Ten days later AT&T disconnected my services. After pleading with them to restore my services they refused. Explained that I have 3 children & disabled mom and I needed my phone, it's the only way I can make calls. They still refused to help me. They insisted that I pay the entire 383.00.
Verizon wireless here I come. I can with a company that sucks me dry financial and in return they can't help their customer when there is a need. I have paid 3 40.00 fees since February. Ridiculous! Another case of the big business taking advantage of the little people. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND AT&T WIRELESS TO ANYONE. Their only concern is money NOT the customer. So long guys. VERIZON get ready for 3 new phone lines. #badcustomerservice #thinkaboutyourcustomers #Myexperiencehasbeenhorrible

The last three times I have ordered the Intl Passport service, ATT has also charged me (overcharged) for Intl Day pass, they continue to do so; is ridiculous to talk to them about issue, or dispute resolution on erroneous billing. Terrible company, but we are stuck with them due to 15 years of email accounts and contacts. ATT needs to be broken up.

I ordered the wireless hotspot device on 3/7/18. When I ordered the representative quoted that they offered an unlimited plan for $70 a month for data. That is what I wanted and signed up for it since I knew that I would be using a bunch of data. Well I received that device on 3/9/18. Upon receiving it I noticed that it was loaded with only 10GB. I called on 3/10/18 and was told that the reason it only had 10GB is because they had stopped offering unlimited on 3/1/18. I said, "Well why was I told about it and able to order it on 3/7/18 and put automatically on a higher plan that would not provide for my needs." I immediately canceled and spoke to the proper people who assured my any bill resulting from the transaction would be credited and I would not have to worry about it being that it was a mistake on their part.
Well of course this did not happen and I had to make subsequent calls on 3/22/18, 3/27/18, 3/30/18, and 4/2/18. As of today 4/10/18 my account was finally credited after it was supposed to have been a couple of weeks ago and they still left a .67 balance that I just paid because I was so tired of talking to them and them telling me that it will be taken care of within 48 hours. I would never do anything AT&T related ever again! I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. Through all my issues with having to keep calling they had the audacity to try and sell me stuff when they could see that I was already aggravated with them. Such a dumb company!!! Never again!!!

I canceled my DSL high speed Internet service within the first 30 days (grace period) after discovering that the service would not support my son's X-BOX gaming system. I called 1-800-288-2020 to inform them that I would like to end the service. The representative told me that there would be no charge after they received the device in the mail. I sent the package in the mail and tracked it, after it was received I called back to make sure that I would not be receiving a bill. Once again the representative told me just because it was received doesn’t mean it has been process. Once it’s been processed then my bill would be canceled.
I received a bill about three weeks later for $207.07. I called AT&T again to tell them that I received a bill in error. The representative told me that they would cancel the bill and this should be the last time I would have to deal with the issue. Two months later I got a notice from a collection agency stating that I had an unpaid balance of $196.02. I called the number again 1-800-288–2020, this time I was told that my bill would be reduced to $61.98 and this was the service charge of connecting the system. So the lesson learned is in reality there is no 30 day grace period for canceling your DSL high-speed Internet service without paying a penalty.

I had cell phone service for 3 years with AT&T. I had a problem getting my voicemail to work. This just happened in the last few months of my service with them. When people will phone me they would get a message "The voicemail has not been set up" then the phone hangs up. I tried following the instructions to set up my voicemail and then it hangs up. I tried to get this resolved through customer service and they could not get the voicemail to work. I am a senior and need access to voicemail. I told them if they could not get my voicemail to work I would have to go with Verizon. They became very rude and said do what you have to do then hung up. So I switched.
3 months later I get a bill for early termination fee. I was out of my contract which ended a year ago. I have tried to talk to them and they would not even talk to me. I filed a written dispute and they are still harassing my to pay even while it is in dispute. I do not owe them a termination fee as I am out of my contract. They will not even address the dispute and keep saying they will report me to the credit agencies, in violation of the fair credit law. The also told me if I do not pay they will damage my credit. At all costs stay away from AT&T. I also had U-verse and have cancelled that because they went up on the rate so I could not afford it any longer. AT&T is not the reputable company they use to be. I was not in a contract and they still insist on my paying an early termination fee which I will continue to fight.

I have been with AT&T for years and no complaints. I moved my service a few months ago and called it in. This was when their cable service is now DirecTv. A few months later we had a bad weather and lost our service. I asked a family member to skip work so that he can take care of the tech to fix our service. The tech never showed up. By later in the day I called AT&T where the tech is. Apparently they sent him to our old address. Therefore that whole day was a waste. My husband thought of switching the 2 boxes just so we have service until they can come out again. They sent us 2 replacement boxes via 2nd Day Air when they said Next Day Air. Service went out again and a tech came out.
I reviewed my bill the next month and they charged me partial for the some Protection Plan and another $99 for a Service Call! I called and kept getting disconnected when they ask for your cellphone at the beginning of the phone call so they can call me back if we get disconnected... NOT! I ended up calling them back 6 times since I never got a callback. Even spoke to a manager which was totally useless. Kept saying that $99 bill was valid. In the end, that manager told me there was nothing else noted in their system of what was done or what the problem was. When I spoke to the 6th customer service, I was told he made an escalation in their system about my issue and my bill will be extended thru end of April. I can go on but still result. I cannot wait till my contract with them is done!!!!

When I received my bill yesterday, I was charged 10 dollars for the "Day Pass"! I called AT&T and complained. Had to threaten to discontinue their service, for them to deduct the 10 bucks from my bill. This wasted 25 minutes of my life! They acted like they were doing ME a favor.

When buying a new phone, I put a down payment of 400.00 dollars on it. When I received my bill, it didn't reflect the money I put on the new phone. When I went back to the store with my receipt, and showed them, they had me there for hours trying to track down what happened to my money. The store blamed corporate, and corporate blamed the store, but in the meantime, I have spent hour upon hour, trying to resolve this, and find my missing money. Every person I talk to, whether it is in person at the store, on the chat window, or on the phone, tells me that it is resolved and check back in 24 hrs for a resolution. In other words kicking it down the road to the next guy.
Finally went back to the store, and the manager told me that I should be grateful that he at least was trying to help me. GRATEFUL, that they stole my money??? All I am here to say is that you should always check your bills, line by line, because they are thieves, and if I hadn't saved my receipt, and checked my bill line by line, they would have stolen my money and gotten away with it.

I just encountered the worst experience with AT&T. I've been a customer for 15+ years and never had an issues. I was planning on leaving AT&T because Verizon was able to offer a better deal, along with an upgrade. I then called AT&T to see if they would match the quote, to which they offered me an "accessory" but was unable to match the offer. So, I was switching. I then jumped on AT&T chat to inquire on how I go about cancelling my plan. I was transferred to Customer Relations, Mac ** was able to ensure me he COULD in fact match the Verizon quote. I repeatedly questioned why I was not offered what he was quoting before, and if he was sure I could switch to a new cheaper plan WITH an iPhone X upgrade.
After much reassurance that I received from Mac **, I switched my plan, and said thank you - you've kept a 15+ customer satisfied. I went into the store to collect my new iPhone X, to which I was denied. Mac told me to go to ANY store and they will see the notes on my account and reassured I would have "no issues". The store manager was actually mad at my situation, I brought in my chat so he could read the apparent misinformation. The store manager then referred me to Customer Loyalty Retention since he was unable to have the access and/or authorization to get me what was promised by Mac **. I called, was transferred to a Supervisor, and was somehow disconnected in the middle of sending him the Mac **chat that I saved via email. No call back for 10 mins, so I jump back on the phone, gave my entire story, again. I had to convince the new representative to just transfer me to the Supervisor because I knew it was out of her hands.
However, I had to give the whole story again, she "needed" more information. Then the transfer to the Supervisor happened. I was told "there is nothing I can do about this situation" by the CUSTOMER LOYALTY SUPERVISOR. He said there is no one who works at AT&T who has access to any overrides/deals/offers, and he's "sorry" this event had to take place. I got absolutely no where with an entire day of dealing with AT&T, not one person/supervisor even asked what the first chat representatives name was to offer some kind of education where this hopefully wouldn't happen again. I am very disappointed in AT&T and will be cancelling my 15+ years of service with them. In a world that relies so heavy on customer service and overall satisfaction ratings, AT&T, you really did a terrible job. I will do my very best to let everyone know what type of company this is.

I looked for an email contact for this store so I would write the manager directly, but couldn't find it listed online so had to write a public review instead. Normally with AT&T service issues, I chalk it up to bad service operations. For instance, the rep may not be able to process your request themselves due to limited access, or the store may say to call the service team and the service team may say to go into the store. I've grown to expect a frustrating runaround and that my time will be wasted when in need of AT&T "support." Usually though, the reps are at least well trained on politeness. Today though, in the West Ashley store I was given different treatment.
The phone based service team sent me into the store to cancel my internet service because as not the original owner of the account, I needed to show documentation of our divorce and that I owned the house where the internet was set up. I was greeted promptly when entering the store, but when I said that the service team sent me in to cancel my internet, the rep just responded in a rushed manner with a phone number and "drop off your equipment at any UPS store." No "Oh I'm sorry, we actually don't process cancellations here. You'll need to call this number, let me write it down." He literally just rambled off the phone number at me. I had to ask him what he said because I just didn't expect that as the response.
When I responded that the service team had set me in, he adamantly told me they don't do service cancellations there. Then grabbed a few other associates to confirm. When I mentioned to them that the phone service team hadn't been helpful and neither had this in store experience, the female (possibly manager or seniored rep since she had been asked to confirm) laughed audibly in response - and for a while. Manager or not, snarky behavior is childish and shouldn't be tolerated. I took the higher road and didn't address it. As a customer, you shouldn't put me in that position.
I understand that as a large company - with several service outlets - wires can get crossed with workflows. But service reps should help navigate through those moments vs. shut down and be rude. Service teams should also work together in those moments to solve the problem for the customer. Customers should not be ping ponged back and forth between teams expected to navigate the troubleshooting themselves. Thankfully today, another rep stepped up and told the original one to reset the passcode so I could then call into the cancellation line and get it done. He also gave me the direct line so I didn't have to start all over again with the phone support lines. (Thank you sir, for that).
If it were me, I'd fire the female associate who laughed on the spot and I'd train up the associate who just rattled off a number - I wouldn't want those service interactions associated with my brand. But really AT&T, it's not about me. I've cancelled my internet service and plan to now cancel my phone service from what I experienced today, so I'll soon no longer be a customer. You've lost your chance to be better for me, but Just. Be. Better. Be better for everyone else who has ever had a frustrating customer service experience with your company. Don't just ask how service interactions are, actually improve them. At the very least, form relationships between phone, online and call service teams so a customer can be helped from any service location and in one setting.

I should have know that AT&T cell service would be no better than U-Verse internet/cable... Lost my phone while hiking in a canyon over the weekend, I was out of town and T-Mobile was around where I was. I had been considering switching carriers anyway so I went ahead switched to AT&T so I didn't have to be without a phone for several days. I obviously purchased a new phone from them, with a payment plan, and my son's line and mine moved over to AT&T same day. I specifically asked what my bill would be with AT&T for the all unlimited plan... $140 for the services and $18 for the phone payment. (I was paying $120 with T-Mobile for two lines with unlimited everything, so $20 increase in the bill not including phone payment wasn't a big deal in my opinion.)
Just got my first bill... $272! I was charged nearly $40 in taxes & other fees (it was half that with T-mobile), because they bill each phone line SEPARATE for all fees, $60 in activation fees, plus the regular monthly fees and some other random crap. I wasn't prepared in any way for a nearly $300 bill! It wasn't mentioned in store to expect an activation fee or $40 in freaking 'fees & taxes' PER LINE. Freaking ridiculous. Someone actually found my phone and contacted me so I got my old phone in the mail yesterday and I'm switching back to T-Mobile. According to AT&T customer service, I can give the new phone back and won't be charged for terminating services within the first 14 days. Guess I'll find out if that's accurate. I don't trust this company. Over-priced & manipulative. Oh and it takes 2-3 billing cycles for military discounts to be applied, but have zero desire to retro the discount. Stay away from AT&T if you can!
Updated on 07/09/2018: I canceled my service with these idiots NINE DAYS after I switch to them. They wouldn't take the phone back from me because I did not have the box. So I have to eat the cost of that which is fine, but they refuse to prorate my bill for the 9 days I was with them and insist that I pay the $272. My first bill ended up being because of their ridiculous billing and how they set up my billing cycles. So with the cost of service and the phone itself I owed them about $800 at cancelation. I have made three payments to them since then, because I cannot afford to pay it all at once. I received a call from a collection company on behalf of ATT over the weekend.
I was livid and in tears of frustration because I have been making payments for what I can since I canceled with them. ATT will not remove my account from collections unless I pay the remaining $650 in full! If this is how they treat someone who is actively making an effort to pay off a balance, I am so glad I chose to leave them. This is the most deceptive, sneaky company I've ever dealt with. Their customer service department is run by idiots as well, and apparently they do not have a system in which notes can be left because of all the times I've called I have to walk them through everything again and again and my bill has never been prorated as I was told it would be numerous times.
Supervisors do not call back as I am told they will. I have gotten incorrect information multiple times from various departments. It's like they don't have guidelines to follow and just say whatever they THINK is accurate instead of taking the time to find out an answer for certain. Should have known better after dealing with them for internet and cable in the past. For the love of god, if you are thinking about using them DON'T do it!

I have been happy with AT&T for years. Apparently this was only until I had an actual problem. They sold me a defective phone which got worse and worse until I finally called to use my insurance that I have paid for years and never utilized. I was told there was no need... the phone was so new it was under warranty. After several mistakes on their part that delayed me actually getting a new phone, I finally got a functional device. Great, done... No! Two and a half weeks later they sent me back the old phone that did not work. There was a bright red arrow on it pointing to a crack so small on the back of the phone that I could barely see it. I had to pull out reading glasses even with the bright red arrow there! I had certainly never seen it before. It also had nothing to do with the fact that the phone didn't work. Wouldn't call certain numbers. Wouldn't link with my car.
And by the end started pulling up pornography websites live when I used it... and I have to use it at work... for calculations... to call the surgeons I work with... to check medication dosing... because I work in a children's hospital. And the defective AT&T phone opened live pornography in a children's hospital. But they sent it back to me saying the warranty didn't apply because there was a 2mm crack on the back case that I had never seen before so now I had to pay them for the new phone they had sent me. I called and said absolutely not. That crack has nothing to do with what is wrong with the phone. If it voids the warranty then use my insurance.
Many long holds later... “I'm sorry, we can't use your insurance because it's been too long since you got your new device.” "But I just got the old device and found out you were trying to charge me for the new one." “There's nothing we can do about that.” "But you are the ones who did it." They told me to use the warranty instead of the insurance. They decided the warranty was void. They sent the old device back too late so that I found out about all of this too late to change to using the insurance.
I explained that if they persisted in this course I would close my account and since I pay them $1000 a year and will live about 40 more years they can either figure out how to not inappropriately charge me $800 now or lose $40,000 in business. They just kept saying "well there is just no way to fix it." Of course there is. Don't be ridiculous. I was talking to automatons reading from a script. I hung up. Don't give them your time or business. I am disgusted. No company should treat a customer like that.

I talked directly to their Collections department, who admitted it was a mistake, and again, told me not to pay until the adjustment went through.
I was AGAIN, promised my bill would not leave their collections department, and they sent it to a Law Firm Collections agency. All without the credit ever being processed. I was told by the Agency I could pay AT&T, just to have AT&T tell me I no longer could. I have spent countless days and hours of my time, fighting with this company, I have talked to countless people, getting shoved through at least 5 departments each time I called. I am ready to just give up, lose the money, just to never deal with this completely incompetent company. I have never seen such poor customer service and lack of communication in my life. AND I STILL DON’T HAVE MY $92 CREDIT. I highly suggest avoiding AT&T at all costs. I will never go back. Lost me for life.

I left Verizon after 20 years because AT&T had a promotion I was interested in. I should have seen the red flag when my daughter and I went to the store and they only had one person working there. After receiving our huge bill I called and had them explain it to me. A lot of what the salesperson said wasn't true at all. So besides wasting two hours of our time we didn't get what we thought we were. One month after buying my expensive phone someone stole it from me in a doctor's office. After talking with several AT&T agents, one told me to go get a police report and bring it to my local store and they would give me a phone that day or mail one to me. After hearing my situation she said she would go through my warranty. She gave me a claim number. I go to the store and they had no idea what I was talking about. They did see that the lady told me to bring the police report there but they said that's against policy.
They put me on the phone with a supervisor and he started yelling at me. I go home after an exhausting day with AT&T and call another supervisor. We were on the phone for about 30 minutes when all of a sudden I'm transferred to Apple without any explanation to me or the person at Apple.. What kind of people work at AT&T. They are unprofessional and rude. And their service stinks, nothing like Verizon. If someone from their company told me something then they should honor it.

AT&T seriously is THE WORST company that I had to deal with. I have services with them for a long time as they wouldn't allow any other phone company to exist in a particular area. They would sneak up charges on my bill without my notice and I had to call them several times for a refund. Now after I have canceled my services with them they have charged me for three months of services. Really, if at&t was a person I would have slapped, kicked in balls and spit on his face. I am calling every month for my refund and they are just putting me on line saying they are working on it and I need to check back next month. It's been six months after cancellation.

I went into an AT&T store to turn in a Galaxy S5 Active that I had upgraded a week or so earlier. It was not physically damaged, but had a line going down 1 side of the screen. The sales rep, Mr. C ** at the Lake Charles, LA (Moss Bluff) location then informed me that I only owed roughly $48 on the installment plan & that if I paid I would simply own the phone & not have to turn it in... owing nothing. 3 months later I see $198. Charge on my bill. I then called AT&T & after a half-hour was connected to AT&T "Customer Loyalty" Dept. I was then (after explaining the situation again) told that I would receive a credit for the $198. By the 22nd of the month (6 days or so later). The 22nd came & the credit was never issued.
I called AT&T back & after another hour + of talking & waiting on hold was told that they will not issue the credit. If AT&T would go back & listen to the conversations I had both in the store & on the phone with them it would easy to see that I was lied to. I pay AT&T over $4000/year. I had service with AT&T for over 15 years. I will be disconnecting service with them ASAP. I will be taking at least 2 other accounts with me.

Since day one, we have been overcharged. We were quoted one thing and have paid over $80 more every single month, with the promise that we would be paid back. We were promised Sunday ticket sports channel free for the entirety of our contract. We were promised so many things - beware. The person that comes to your home to encourage you join all services AT&T has to offer is a self contractor. We were given a phone with 260 gigs even though we only wanted the 60 gig phone. This company has screwed us. I have spoken to customer service 30 plus times to no avail. Today I drove to the address provided by a phone rep to get real help. Well, it was a training center that customers shouldn’t even know about! It took 4 locations- yes 4 different addresses I was given before I found the actual “headquarters” that could help with billing.
While the gentlemen was so friendly, all of the in person people are, he couldn’t do much except to tell me to call the original guy who quoted us wrong. Oh and that there is nothing they can do to help us. It was confirmed we overpaid, it was confirmed that an employee error put us in the wrong plan, and today was confirmed it was our responsibility.
I’m just sick that companies exist like this, or that these good people continue to work for it. Do some customer service training people! I have a baby at home and now, we are going straight into debt because they promised our bill would be cheaper. Well, that money they pay you back for cancelling your other contract with your current contractor - stay away. It cost us $700 to cancel Sprint in hopes of a cheaper bill and being paid back. They gave us $193 - and that’s it. Now we are counting down the days until our contract is over and paying way over what we were originally quoted. Please find a better company!!!

I picked this site as I feel it is the most credible to give a review on AT&T. I initially was with Verizon...figured I would support a Texas company. Staff was very knowledgeable and quick which was appreciated. Now for the review. Upon switching, lost everything from the cloud, phone would not pick up wifi reliably, and was lucky to get it at all and I never had that problem with Verizon. And the tower I get off was 20 yards away. When I had contacts and phone numbers transferred, majority were spaced with + signs in front of them. If I called a friend, it would go to MEXICO, Taiwan, Bulgaria, Budapest on and on. AND...I would get calls from those places!!! Wtf!
I went in to ask for help. Talked to the manager. He said, "It's a Verizon phone...nothing we can do BUT...you can order a new phone and make sure it is a AT&T PHONE." What??? I don't want a new phone. I said I want Asurion to replace it...he said NOTHING he could do as I wasn't on contract long enough. What? Why wasn't I told this...he didn't give me a logical response. I walked across the street and hooked back up with Verizon. AT&T charged me 267 dollars to get hooked up. What a rip off. Caution caution if you think you want to go AT&T.

I asked them what I could do to increase my signal, like most people nowadays this is the only phone line I have at home. I am unable to receive or make calls at my home altogether. On the occasion that my phone even rings or my outgoing call is connected, within seconds the coverage breaks and the call is dropped. Their solution was a microcell for our home, which costs approx $130. What an awful waste of junk. Total gimmick. No increase in service. We can't cancel our "contract" without paying a ridiculous fee, and they won't take back the microcell. The last time I went into the local store, the employee was more concerned with telling me how long he had been in sales and being a cocky, condescending pompous jerk then helping me.

I received the phone on March 20th in which a new promotion of 50% off was advertised. I chatted with a customer service representative on March 20th as I received an incorrect bill. I was billed for 2 mobile plans instead of 1 mobile share plan. They told me the mistake (credit) would show up on my next bill. I asked the representative (Paula) since there was a new promotion on the Galaxy if I could return the phone in the store and activate a new phone under the new promotion. She stated "Yes" while having my account pulled up. I went to the store the next day and the associate said I can take advantage of a price match policy so I do not need to return the phone.
I spent over 2 1/2 hours at the store activating the new phone because the IMEI for the new phone was not on my Port reservation (all this time from March 14, 2018 - March 21, 2018 I was still with Sprint on one of my three lines). After activation the sales representative told me the only way to take advantage of the promotion was to port back to Sprint, return the phone and set up a new line.
I called customer service to verify since the Chat representative (I have the chat transcript) told me I didn't need to do that. The agent then told me I cannot take advantage of the promotion because I was with AT&T eight months prior and they consider me a "win back" customer. The Chat representative told me I could take advantage of this and AT&T is not standing by their employees' promises. I was also billed incorrectly for the first bill and was not offered a satisfactory resolution. All in all I spent over 8 hours trying to switch to a resolve issues and set up service with AT&T.

Every time I deal with AT&T I am in disbelief of lack of customer service. I have been a customer all my life including my mom. Loyalty means nothing to this company. If I am late for a payment they block everything phone, internet... etc. They expect you to pay even though they block the portal you pay. Recently due to financial hardship I lost my job and was forced to change banks. I had to input the account number, unfortunately I inputted by one digit the wrong account number for AT&T. They accepted my check because the third party that handles check disbursements from my bank said they already issued the money from my account. They have treated me like if I did not pay when I called for a password reset. The bank's third party bill pay said they were going to send me a copy of the check via email (they already sent AT&T a copy but they called me that they had not received it).
But naturally what AT&T does so well is block everything (internet) so that I cannot read my e-mail and find the check and send them proof of the check that I paid. So when I ask (after 2 hours dealing with regular personnel) for the customer technical service manager for a password reset or access to my e-mail to resolve the issue of no payment, he said he couldn't because I do not have the plan for u-verse technical support (even though I am paying for internet), for a simple password reset or access to my e-mail. Irrational company. It’s like saying a hospital that charges $10.00 for ** tab. It is better to give it free for the patient so they don't complain of the outrageous cost. The hospital can recoup that loss in other meds. It is better for AT&T to provide a simple service of password reset than to look ridiculous because I don't have u-verse plan even though I have internet service active.

I've had At&t cell service for many years. Recently (in the last year) data speeds where I live have gotten slower and slower, and in the last 6 months have gone to where the data drops more often than it works. I've begun running speed tests and get regular speeds of 0.25 mbps when it is working with occasional speeds of 1 mbps. However on a regular basis (several times per day noticed, whenever data will not do the most basic function, such as download emails) when I do a speed test it shows an error due to the network being down.
At&t customer service says it is simply because too many people are connected to our tower. There is a very limited amount of housing within the radius of the tower, and the number has not changed significantly in over 20 years. However, data speeds have gotten so slow that it is essentially unusable. I've spend hours on the phone with At&t diagnostics, resetting various things on the phone...all to no avail, which is no surprise since the same problem happens for all 4 phones on my account. The best answer I get from them is "oh well." If there was a way to file a class action suit for issues such as this, I would join. I'm in a 2 year contract with $3,800 worth of new cell phones.

I didn't sign a new contract, so now I'm looking for a new phone service.

I have paid $34.99 a month since Dec. 2016 for insurance for the 2 iPads we got through AT&T. Almost $500 later, we have to pay more for the deductible on their damaged device than what we would spend going out and buying a whole new mini iPad. My husband says this is fraud and is thinking of hiring an attorney. Oh they sure saw us coming.

Upgraded to include U-verse and was promised if I upgrade (buy one) I would get one free. Bill comes and they are charging me $26.34/month for 2nd phone contract. Several individuals complained (internet search) with same issue. AT&T should be investigated and class action should be initiated about this fraud. Spent several hours and several phone calls to their Customer service department with promise of “I will look into this and have someone call you”. The only “service” they provide is the same service a prostitute would provide. If I wanted to be screwed I would not go to AT&T. AT&T makes it difficult to change carriers without changing phones too. Why has the FCC put an end to this? This is criminal. How can the FCC allow AT&T to continue bilking their customers and not take steps to prevent this.

I have been an AT&T wireless customer for over 12 years and it has been a love hate relationship for the most part, albeit manageable except for the last 12 months. I have 4 lines on my account and 2 phones on their next program and a tablet. My bill should never be more than $200-$240 a month. However, my bill each month has been $400-$700 each month. I have tried to resolve this each month and have spoke to customer support, live chat, billing etc with no success. I have had my service interrupted several times during the time I was trying to resolve the issue and each time that happened I was told that I had to pay the past due amounts, regardless if the bill was accurate or not in order to restore service and each time I paid the balance, I would start the process all over again.
Customer service reps would put me on hold for up to 4 hours, transfer me several times until their customer service department closed or I hung up. After six months of getting nowhere with customer support. I decided to start complaining on social media. I expressed my issues on their Twitter and Facebook pages, and within 48 hours I had Celeste **, AT&T Social Media Specialist contact me and said she would look into my account.
In August 2017, she responded to me through Twitter. She said, “I have started looking into your account and I can see why you are upset. I would be too.” "I went back to October of last year (2016) and your bills are $500 a month. I can see that you have 4 phones on the account and a tablet. Your bill should be at the most $233.50 plus tax so call it $250. I have gone through your account and itemized what your total bill should be each month see attached.” "I am only allowed to credit items for the last 90 days. I am going to have to sit with one of the Sr. managers to go over your history and see what they can do.”
At this point, I explained to her that my bill was due the following week and the amount once again was $550. She told me to log into my account and push the payment due date back until she had a chance to meet with her Sr. manager. A few days later, she did get back to me and told me that she was turning the case over to her manager. I received this Facebook messenger notification. “Hi **! I am Celeste's supervisor I was waiting until tonight to call once I have had a chance to review all of the information when there is less agents around. I have reviewed it as far as I can. If you would like you can give me a call at 877-929-5551 and my extension is **. My hours are 10 AM to 7 PM CST Tuesday-Saturday. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! - Zackary ** Social Media Specialist."
I called the following day and his response was, “There is nothing I can do until you pay the past due amount of the $550. Once this is paid, we can then discuss applying credits to your account.” I said, Why should I be paying this amount when you and Celeste have reviewed the account and agree that I have been paying 2x what I should have been for the past year.” He told me that there was nothing he could do until that was paid.
The following day my account was interrupted. Once again, I paid the amount to have the service turned on and fees etc. Immediately, I contacted Zachary. I left numerous voicemails with no response so I went back to the AT&T Twitter and Facebook page and filed a similar complaint to what is written above. The response I got was “here is the link for all of our arbitration information http://soc.att.com/2fz1qjd. If you have any further questions please reach out and we will be here to assist you. Thank you and have a great rest of your day! - Zackary ** Social Media Specialist”
In December, my service was interrupted again, however this time, I was not paying until I had this resolved. At this point, I have now paid six more months (August - December) at $500 + with documentation from their team stating that my bill should only be $250 max. It’s now March 2018 they still have refused to contact me and sent me the following “Regretfully, we have canceled your wireless service because your account remains unpaid. If your account remains unpaid, we may be left with no alternative but to refer your account to a collection agency."

If it was possible to give a half star then I would only give a half. First of all I hardly ever had signal. Not at work, not at home, and not at any family member’s house. I also was sold a stolen phone at first by a sales representative when I added my mother to my service. And I was lied to by another sales representative and was "given" a hotspot I didn't ask for and then was charged for and when I tried to return it I had to pay an early termination fee for it. Then when I finally cancelled my service I was sent a bill for $58 as my last bill. Which jumped to $250 something and was told it was an early termination fee but I told them I had my phone before I got the service so I didn't have a contract and therefore should not be charged an early termination fee as there is nothing that is being terminated early. And then they switched it and said that it was an early termination fee for the same hotspot I had already paid the termination fee for months before.
On top of it all when I finally got to speak to an operator that could help I was told that it would be investigated and that I would get a call back within 7 days. Which never happened. Shocker. And then they send the bill to collections. As if I hadn't been trying to work things out with them. It was now been months since I have cancelled the service and I have yet to get some actual help. I will never spend another dollar on anything AT&T related.

I gave up on AT&T wireless phone service 2 years ago because there was always an issue with my bill. Now, I am going to cancel my AT&T wireless home internet service. The phone cable has always, as long as I have lived here, gone through the crawlspace and right up through the carpeting in the living room. There is actually a hole in the carpet to get the cable into the house. Now that we are having new carpet installed, naturally we wanted a wall jack put on that wall. We were told that it would cost 150.00. We are already paying 47.00 per month for 3 mbps service. I thought that I would ask for manager or to talk to an English speaking person. {wrong} AT&T put me through the 1.5 hour switchboard shuffle. I have decided to go with Comcast. @ 24.99 per month for 15 mbps service.
I would just like to know, how AT&T thinks it is acceptable for a customer to have a phone cable through the carpeting? Maybe this is the way it is done in India or Pakistan or one of their remote island phone centers, but we just don't do it like this in the USA. I give AT&T a half of a star. They were rude and condescending. I do not recommend them to anyone. Did I mention that Comcast has 60.00 installation. I am thankful that we have other options.

One of the lines on my wireless account called in to reset her voicemail password. Rep instead reset MY entire voicemail along with hers, rather than just the password. We both had to set up our voicemail again, even though I'd had mine set up for the last 8 years. When I called in to talk to a manager about it, the supervisor I talked to (Laurento) kept trying to sell me on DirecTV, ignored me when I said I wasn't interested in the service, and didn't even bother trying to resolve the issue I called in for. Instead, he lied about it and transferred me to another department. I've been a loyal AT&T customer for the last 8 years, but that ends this week. I expect better in a customer service line, particularly when the service I'm currently paying for is so absurdly overpriced.

We were previously Verizon customers and after our phones were paid for we decided to search for a bundle offer through AT&T to include DirecTV, mobile service, and Nighthawk internet service. This service would have saved us $200 per month as we would canceled Mediacom. We wanted to avoid ALL issues of switching service so we asked many questions. In the past we were told erroneous information at a corporate Verizon store so to avoid issues I told the rep and manager at the Davenport Iowa corporate AT&T store we were going to record our discussions. Of course he thought that was ridiculous and said we could just write it down. Anybody can write anything down but doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what was said. Nonetheless we recorded.
I advised him we were previously told there might be a problem with the Samsung Galaxy S6 working properly on their system. I advised the manager of this and he laughed saying never heard of such a thing and guaranteed we would have no issues. They also gave an amount of our bill as $202 before taxes each month. After being assured we had the correct information we signed the contract. They unlocked the phone and said everything was fine. Problems began that day - after many phone calls with the AT&T Corporation, Verizon 3rd level techs, Samsung corporation and visits to the store the problem with the phone could not be fixed and would not operate on AT&T’s system.
After speaking with the manager again he refused to accept any responsibility and walked away. He had another rep help us and he called AT&T himself and immediately handed the phone to my husband. I said, "Aren’t you going to take care of this." He said, "You know what’s wrong," and refused to assist any further. More to the story but it is irrelevant at this point. As far as billing is concerned we asked AT&T Corporation what they showed our bill would be and was told it would be $40 more per month than what we were told in the store. Needless to say we canceled the contract with AT&T and went back to Verizon. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone who has a brain to think with.

I have been a loyal AT&T customer for over 10 years now but you may not know it by the way AT&T handled my situation. When the Samsung Gear S3 watches were first introduced, my wife and I wanted one but they were sold out everywhere. At the time I still had an iPhone so I wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, also. I called AT&T to place my order. At that time, there was a promotion for a $50.00 Gear S3 with the purchase of a Galaxy phone. I knew that I could get the promotion for one of the watches and I would pay full price for the other. When talking to the sales rep on the phone, I informed him of this and he said that he could do better than that promotion and give me both watches for "FREE". I said "really?" and he replied with "Yes". So, after a few minutes of being on hold he told me that my order was complete and that I would receive my new phone and to two Gear S3 watches in the mail in a couple of days.
When everything arrived, I had them activated and everything was great until I received my bill. The watches were NOT free. Not only was I being charged the monthly service fee for each watch (I knew I had to pay this), I was being charged $17.50 for each watch. When I called AT&T, I was transferred to several different people. I was told that a ticket was being created and someone would contact me (no one ever did). I called back and I was told that I supposed to get a credit on my account every month for the cost of the watches and usually takes 3 billing cycles to kick in. So I waited and received no credit. I called again and after speaking to several people again, I received the credit. I was told in order to receive the credit, I had to call every month. I liked that they finally gave me a credit on my account but I didn't like that I had to call them every month to receive it.
So, after a month or two of calling and getting this credit, I was told that they would fix it so that I didn't have to call every month. I thought "Great!" The next month I got my credit without calling. Then the credit disappeared again. Every time I'd call, they would look in the notes on my account and it pretty much explained everything. I am not sure which months I did or did not get the credit but I believe that I paid for at least half of my "FREE" watches. I've been calling AT&T for the last two weeks to try to get my credit for the last three months. Well, I was told this morning by AT&T that I could no longer receive this credit. Not only am I not receiving the "FREE" watches but I am not even getting the $50.00 Gear S3 promotion that I initially wanted before I was told that I could get the watches for free. I am sooo disappointed in AT&T right now. I am currently looking for a new wireless provider.

She then tries to tell me that the co-browse wasn't working, but earlier in the conversation she said, "As you can see in your cart..." so she was clearly lying. When I said something about that being why I ask so many questions, because I feel that wireless salespeople conveniently leave out info, and you don't find out until it is too late, she proceeds to tell me that I should then stay with Verizon!!!

Before reading, you should know the following: (1) This is my first internet review — I RARELY post anything, good or bad, because I am generally an easy-going, laid back individual and need to be moved significantly to take time to type about an experience on the internet (2) I am currently a medical student and don’t want to be spending time doing this, but was so compelled by my recent experience that writing became a necessity, a form of social and consumer responsibility (3) I don’t really watch TV, don’t participate in social media anymore, and generally have the technological IQ of someone born before in the 1700s.
SPOILER/TL;DR: Save yourself time, frustration, and money: choose Xfinity over AT&T. Wednesday, February 15: I call AT&T to inquire about internet-tv-mobile bundles and pricing. I’m met by a gregarious and enthusiastic sales representative who mentions that it’s raining in Phoenix and that he’s ready for a Jack-and-coke. I find this funny and a nice intro for what had been a long week. We get to talking, and eventually to negotiating, and end up settling on the following deal: 100 mbps internet and DirecTV including NFL Sunday Ticket plus a $200 Visa giftcard for $65 and change per month (with military discount), a new AT&T SIM card and $200 Visa giftcard for a new plan at $60 per month.
I hang up after about 70 minutes of negotiating, setting up a plan and account, and settling on times for the DirecTV and internet servicemen to visit. I’m feeling great, like I just came away with the deal of a lifetime. I’m told I’d receive an email to confirm this information, which never comes, but I’m not concerned since I received a text confirming DirecTV info.
Sunday, February 19: The day after my partner and I move into our new place and finish unpacking, we get a phone call informing us that the DirecTV servicemen are outside our home. I greet them and they immediately tell me they won’t be able to put a satellite dish on my roof. I stop them at satellite dish to ask — what satellite dish? Neither of those words were used in my wonderful conversation 4 nights prior, in sequence nor individually. I tell them that given this news, I need to speak to my landlord and to call AT&T U-Verse to discuss other options.
The servicemen reluctantly leave, and I eventually get a phone call from AT&T. I explain to them that I was never told anything about a satellite dish, and that it likely wouldn’t be possible. They’re generally understanding and eventually transfer me to another agent who was also quite helpful, but the call drops while I’m being transferred and I don’t get a call back.
After waiting 15 minutes, I call again, this time the line on which I ordered my services from and am connected with Michael. Michael starts explaining how he thinks that the salesmen from Wednesday night were able to quote me at such a price, but overall sounds perplexed at how his fellow associate was able to quote me at the aforementioned price. Nonetheless, he’s able to get me a quote on a non-satellite dish plan and lets me know that we’ll figure out the TV side of things after the internet has been installed later this day, between 12 and 4, as he needs to get some approvals on his end.
Soon the window during which the internet serviceman was supposed to come begins to close, 1, 2, and 3 o’clock tick by without text, email or phone call. At 3:30 I decide to call AT&T yet again to figure out what’s the hold up; I have studying to do for school and it’s getting late. The associate I speak to on the phone informs me that my order has been placed on hold because the internet plan I was sold is not actually available in my area. Perplexed, I ask how it’s possible that after speaking with 3 different representatives this was able to slip through the cracks.
He eventually obliges my wish to cancel the order, but can only cancel the internet part of the bundle. He then transfers me to the bundles department, another enthusiastic associate, but this time one who tells me that actually, the internet IS available in my area and that she’ll compensate me for their prior fumbling. I ask to simply cancel the services, but she persists and persists and eventually I listen, but soon realize the associate is confused and is still trying to sell me DirecTV. I tell her I can’t do a dish, and she cancels me to yet another associate.
I explain my situation to this associate in excruciating detail and provide the disclaimer that if this doesn’t work or if I need to be transferred again that I will be cancelling my service; after all, I’ve spent close to 2.5 hours on the phone with AT&T on my holiday and just want this solved. She begins researching options for me and again discovers that the 100mbps internet is not available in my area. A simple fix that could have been solved if the AT&T algorithm included a simple geographic search, but clearly their greedy priorities have them overlook this simple 1-second step. She transfers me to a cancel-representative who cancels the order for me. Immediately after, I go onto Comcast Xfinity, enter my zip code, am provided straight-forward bundles, select to have a self-assembly package delivered to my house, and am done in 5 minutes total. Done. Lesson learned. Skip the hassle and the Phoenix call center and leave AT&T behind.

But did purchase Insurance for a Teen on our program. The phone broke and wife called to get replacement. Spent 10 hours on phone during which she was disconnected 8 or 9 times during process. The records at AT&T are unreliable as she found out. As the insurance coverage had been changed to my phone since I was the person on the bill. First of all when you buy a product and get a warranty or insurance it is assigned to a serial number of that product. But BEWARE. AT&T some point redid their records on customers so my wife was told.
A couple of Service phone reps were rude and nasty. A couple admitted they made the error in their records and the last hour and a half call with supervisor resulted in conveniently disconnected phone when they used the excuse we have been victim of before from the companies by saying, "Let me put you on hold a minute." I don't buy it for one minute. I called today. Paid 303.00 for the broken useless phone. I have been paying insurance on. I dropped iPad service and also the fraudulent insurance.
I will go the Verizon this week, buy a new phone for Grandson and move my cell phone service to Verizon. My contract with DirecTV will be over in a month or two and I will also drop it and go back to Comcast. This is no way to treat a customer that has give you over 36000.00 dollars of business. I will convince every relative and friend I know to also drop this unappreciative disorganized company. I am mad enough to have attorney contact me but At&t contact me but I'm finished with this matter.

It is the most disorganized business I have ever had to deal with. Every time I call I get a foreigner that can’t even speak clear enough English to help you with anything. I have been two months dealing with them merging another man account on my DirecTV account and just finally got a new account set up that calls me by my name and has my social security number on my account but it has been like pulling teeth to get done. I have been customer since 2013 and just because AT&T told me internet available in my area is how another man account got merged on my account. It is craziest fraud I have ever had to deal with and Get fixed. Luckily I got an American ID# ** that finally fixed and set me up a new account. I should have canceled and been done with this company cause I haven’t been under contract in years. I didn’t give 1 star cause AT&T don’t even deserve 1 star.

This is the worst prepaid phone company on the face of this Earth. I have never had such a terribly slow phone in my entire life. My account to refill my phone decided to not work for no reason. Well I have things to do and things to buy so that is not very convenient. Also the prepaid part of the website is nearly impossible to find. You can also never talk to a live person when you get help. I have hated this phone service the entire time I have had it. I do not get any service in multiple buildings on my college campus. And I also get no service in rural areas. I will be going back to Verizon whenever I get a chance.
The first chance I get I will never ever give prepaid AT&T a good review ever ever ever. I hate Samsungs more than anything else on this Earth, maybe AT&T just picks out crappy phones. My phone is formatted terribly and as I said is the least favorite phone I have ever owned. AT&T prepaid is the worst company on the face of this Earth. I have no idea how they are still in business. They don't even know enough sense to have a prepaid installed app so that you can pay easily. I got this phone and I had to bookmark a webpage so that I could pay easily. I also get barely any data for the money that I pay!! Do not sign up for service with this company ever!! It ruined my day today, once again.. haha. Get Verizon prepaid or Straight Talk. Thank you :)

Not once but 3 time they leave me waiting for a tech to come and repair their services in my house. ATT tech are not reliable. Either the services I have to boot U-verse almost every day and after the hurricane I call to report the cables down. Not only they issue an appointment. They didn't show almost two month and I can get them to come and I don't trust them anymore. I have my wire hold down with truck strap so the wire don't hang low on the backyard.

I had called customer service for a question with my new service. And long story short he said I was eligible for a promotion still on my phone to buy one get one free. I didn’t really need it but he talked me into it. Well month after month I’m waiting for this to be reversed on my bill each month I call, each time they say next month. Till now I find out NO it’s. It an eligible offer I was scammed. So no BOGO AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BOGUS!!

The week of Thanksgiving I went to my local USPS to drop off two iPhone 7 Plus one for myself one for my husband. I had done my job and returned the two phones under the ATT Next program. Little did I know lightning would strike twice. I say twice because the same headache I've been dealing with this year happened Last year. In late December I get my att bill and I see that I was charged for a phone $398.00. They stated it was never received by the warehouse. I was in disbelief. I called att and notified them that I had lndeed sent both phones and that they would have to look in their warehouse. I think what upsets me the most is that they are so quick to charge the account instead of first looking into it.
I spoke to my CSR everyone more useless than the other, bounced around like a ball for department to department. Why may you ask am I so upset because last year the same damn crap happen with ATT. We got a letter saying one of the phones was never received and after almost 3 months of hours on the phone with a number of reps guess what they find? The phone that they claimed was never mailed in. After it was found it took them 3 months to take the fee off my account. I had to continue to call on an everyday basis for att to finally removed the falsely charge.
So rewind to this year same situation. Only this time they are even more useless. I spoke to a CSR who claimed she had found the phone and allow 2-4 business days to reflect on my account. Well been a month so I decided to call. The reps are claiming no such thing was listed in my account and I would have to pay. I told them to listen to the call recorded long and the so call manager at the time had no control over that. He asked me do I know who I spoke to. How would I know. I was only bounced around 13 times!! Att needs to get their act together. If I did not care so much about my credit I would of just never went back. Waiting for this contract to finish to change to T-Mobile. At least I'll pay less than 302 a month!!

Retail store in South Portland Maine - When the DirecTV was unable to be installed in my rental home the salesman gave me an option of buy one get one free iPhone when I agreed to sign up for streaming DirecTV. When I saw I was getting charged for the “free” phone the store manager told me they never offered the deal. It felt as if they lied to get me to purchase an extra iPhone. It felt like really bad business. They are anything but transparent in the way they conduct business.

I signed up for service in December 2017. During that time my plan was $20 per month for unlimited internet which included the hotspot. I went to connect the hotspot (February 2018) and it was not listed. When I called customer service the lady said they changed my plan because I only had one device on the account. I asked why would they not send me notification that my account had changed and I was told that they are not required to send any. It is funny to me how they waited until after I paid the bill to change the service. She went on to tell me that if I wanted to be able to use the hotspot on the iPad, I needed to change to the $70 plan. I have both my iPhone and iPad on AT&T service so I asked her if she suggested that I disconnect both my iPhone and iPad since I could not get the service that I wanted and she said “yes”.
I get from this that customers are not important. I asked the lady if I could have a refund on the services that had just paid for and she said no because the services work, even though they do not work the way they were working when I got the contract. After getting off the phone with her, I had no internet service at all!!! To make matters worse, the stores are closed so I was left with work deadlines that I could not meet due to lack of a service that I had paid for. After a while I called back and got a guy and he stayed silent when I told him the issue, when I asked if he was there he said “I was waiting for you to stop talking” but I was not talking. He said he was going to speak with a manager, but he hung up on me. I called back and the phone was disconnected again. I called from a different phone and got another lady but had no resolution there either. AT&T SUCKS!!! Yeah... it's been a few minutes to think about it and AT&T STILL SUCKS!!!

On Jan 1 of 2018, I went to their store in Woodbury to change my account from an old grandfathered rollover minutes account to a pay per minute account. After paying off the final bill of my old account and buying one year of minutes for my new account, I was assured that the old account was paid in full and closed. Two months later I received a letter from their collection department that I still owed them for several months back billing from the old account that had not been shut down. During that time I never received any bills to indicate that the old account was still active. When I called, I was told that it was a different account and I had to go back to the store I changed the account with to fill out a form to correct the problem. Due to the massive size of AT&T, the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand does and it forces customers to jump through their rings to correct a simple problem.
Updated on 2/10/2018: After losing three hours of chasing their billing department and visiting one of their stores and speaking to 5 different people, I was back to square one. On the information given to me in one of their stores, I called the billing department to ask for the date of my last bill paid. They refused to give me that information, when I was told that I needed to give them the email and code number I started the account within 1978, but haven't used since. Needless to say, I could not remember that far back.
No matter what information I offered, they would not budge and I wound up having to pay what amounted to an extra month, all due to their error when I first changed my account. This mega giant company has now found numerous ways to overcharge customers for every little infraction of their rules that customers are not aware of. Thus joining thousands of very dissatisfied AT&T users. What used to be an excellent phone company has been reduced to the equivalent of "Big Pharma" tactics.

After months of having dropped call when I moved into my new home I decided to get an AT&T MicroCell to cure their poor service which cost me additional money to buy. It last a while then quit working. AT&T sent me another one. It too quit working so I just quit using it. In the 3 years I have lived here the reception is no better. This whole area has lousy reception. Yet they tout their coverage is the best.

I got U-verse for 2 years. They promised that I was going to pay 120 every month so I ended paying more!!! Then two years later I finish my contract and I cancel my account and return the boxes to UPS and I kept the receipt for two months later. They said I never return anything and that I never cancel my account and they were still charging each month for service and boxes that I didn’t have for several months. I have shown Them proofs I have the receipt from UPS date and tracking # of boxes being return same week when I had cancel my service. I was paying for boxes and service that I didn’t have.
After 3 months I notice a charge of $269 on my bank account and notice that AT&T have charge my account with no approval from me. I went into the nearest AT&T. Talked to manager. All they could do is give me credit to my new service that is DirecTV. AT&T bought DirecTV so and still in the same situation. First they take money off my account and all I get is a sorry and credit when the best thing they should of done is to put my money back in my bank account... This will be worst service to get. You’ll regret it. I did!

Poor coverage period, especially inside your house and AT&T could care less. All they want is your money, as much as they can get from you regardless of the quality of services they provide. They will hit you with additional fees any chance they get. Change anything on your account and you get an additional fee. They have lost lawsuits for false charges on people's bill. Furthermore, there are no longer 2 year contracts making people think that they can switch providers at any time but this is false. AT&T will sell you a phone that is not compatible with other carriers requiring you to purchase ANOTHER smartphone. Horrible morals in my opinion.
