    I have been an AT&T customer for nine years, and I haven't really had many problems with them, but there are some issues with them. The first is their customer service. The reps are unprofessional and they tend to lie about services and billing quite a bit. The other is the fact that AT&T does not offer incentives for loyal longtime customers. You have to practically beg them to reward you with something for sticking with them. This shows a lack of good customer service.

    Their representatives will each give you a different answer to the same question, very frustrating. I recently spent 2 hours on the phone setting up internet service and was disconnected. I went into my account and did chat and an additional 2 hand finally had a knowledgeable rep who set up what I needed. True it was a tricky setup but the first rep just wanted to move on and get it done not caring if it was correct or not. 4+ hours is over the top in trying to get service.

    They started with a bait and switch on the original contract for telephone, internet and U-verse. They first admitted they changed the price and said, "We don't offer the services at that price." They advised that the agent was not authorized and had seen the original quote for services. They offered a price about 12 dollars more. I agreed when they told me that they would not raise my prices for 2 years. Later, they raised the price again. Every agent I spoke with later said they couldn't change the rate and said it was not in my record that I was guaranteed for 2 years. Obviously, that was another bait and switch. They would provide a temporary fix without advising it was temporary and raise my rate under the guise that my promotions had expired. I understand and speak good English. I know what was said and I know what they did.

    Prior to the end of the 2nd year, they attempted to raise my rate almost 90 dollars a month additional. During the approximate 18 month period I spent almost 60 hours on the phone with these people trying to get it right. I implored them to go to their tapes. I asked them to escalate my complaint - no reply. This was a pure swindle - illegal bait and switch. I will never do business with them again as there seems to an extreme culture of dishonesty within the organization. I have been in the cable wars and have now retreated to a competitor.

    In August 26, 2016 I purchase a Galaxy Note 7 with a Buy One Get One offer at the ATT Gainesville VA location. The free phone was shipped to me a few days later. These phones were recalled by Samsung Sept 26, 2016 replaced with other Galaxy Note 7s, and in Oct 15 2016 the replacement phones were recalled as well. We were given two Samsung S7 Edge and were told the buy one get one deal will apply to the replacement phones. Over a year later ATT has not honored this contract and have billed me for both phones.

    I have contact ATT numerous times, escalated with their management numerous times, and had the staff at the Gainesville location also call to sort this out. ATT refuses to honor the BOGO deal they sold me. As a final attempt, I addressed this with the parent company of the ATT Gainesville store, Spring Mobile UT by opening a complaint with them on Aug 13th 2017. And have been following up with no success. They have proven to be just as worthless as ATT. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR CONTRACTS.

    I started my morning with doing the ATT.com phone upgrade, my phone broke last night so I'll just use my upgrade that's been sitting there on my account. Had a flight to catch tonight so did the "In-store pickup" since my phone died the day before. Website could not do in store pick up because an error. I tried 4 different stores to see if that was the issue, did all the steps the online reps told me to do. No luck. Fine. No issue. Still got time to catch my flight.

    ATT.com Online Agent tried to help me. She said and I quote "I'll take over and what phone would you like to upgrade". This was after I specifically stated I needed In-Store pickup because my flight is leaving. She spends 30min to order a phone and I still have no issues. I get she was padding her stats at the call center which is fine. Just a few more minutes. Once she got to the end (I'm assuming since she did not type a single word during the process) she asks for the shipping address. Not once asking me if I was fine with the terms and conditions, not showing me the contract, never sending any receipts to my email. Told her that will not work since the only reason I contacted her was to do the in-store shipping. She goes "Oops that's fine you can go to the store and I already processed it."

    I drive to the next town over to pick up the phone. I walk in. Get told I do not have an order place and to check my email, I do not have a phone to check it and they did not help me with any of their computers to do my email. That's fine I'll drive back and its just one of those random things. I see nothing in my email, contact another agent on the website and get the runaround for another 2 hours because they are confused on what happen. By the way this all the first agent's doing and I have no idea whats happening with my account.

    I then go to the nearest store to see if I can pick it up now that I spoke to the agent on the phone. I go to the store and tells me it shows it's been delivered and charged at the first location. I go to the location again and they tell their not sure what happened but they will look into it. I wait for 30 minutes to tell me that their manager just took a break. So I wait for the manager to return. He then proceeds to ask me about random phones and informs me that I have been charged for the new phone. So I ask if I was charged can I just get it and end this nightmare.

    The Store manager tells me I need to take it up with ATT (I'm inside an ATT store talking to the ATT store manager). They can issue me a ticket and MAYBE get it resolved in a week or two. I go home, still thinking I might catch my flight if I can possibly get the phone by miracle before the plane takes off. I call ATT and get passed around agents with everyone confused about why the last agent would tell me that. One agent tells me she sees no notes and just rude (April in ATT Customer loyalty, the irony) then says she will transfer to the manager but hangs up directly. Another agent tells me she will fix this (after going through 3 agents before getting to her) and I'm fine to go the store and do the phone upgrade that I tried to do 6 hours before.

    Great! Took 6 hours but I'll have my phone and just enough time to catch our flight. I go to the store, only to get told nothing has been changed on the account and in fact the notes don't say anything specific and basically looks the same as it did in the morning. Except that I've been charged for the phone and the next 30 month plan ATT offers.

    So they took my money on an order I was not involved in since ATT's agent did it with no confirmation from me, never got an order confirmation, never got my phone but they charged me. I'm not sure what else to call it besides stealing. I'm confused on how they can behave this way on a mistake they did and 15 people of ATT's finest can't figure out. I wanted a refund and give me my upgrade back so I could take my phone and catch the flight. Last phone call that just ended (8pm, this started at 9am) told me I will get $35 for my troubles and wait for an email that will eventually show up this week to decline the order so I can start this process all over again. ATT charged me and signed me up on a contract without my permission and never gave me the phone they charged me for. I have no idea this was allowed to happen.

    We have been with AT&T for over a year now, and it has been the worst experience yet. We live in Yucca Valley California, which happened to have an outage with the AT&T tower for 3 weeks. We were able to make a phone call about 2-3x a day, with services being sporadic in nature. We could not RELY on a phone call for any reason. We spoke with Joel ** from Mobility Sales + Service, and we were completely deflected from the any form of compensation for this issue.

    We would explain that we could not make/receive phone calls from our city for most the day, but when the representative hears this, his instant reply is, "Well you were able to make a phone call at parts of the day, and that's not how we justify credit." So, the logical response is NOT make a phone call whenever possible when there is a variable outage? That's like telling us we are reliable for our own hazards caused by a Phone Company not taking responsibility for their own contract terms. Thankfully we didn't get into a car accident, because AT&T... would leave you on the road and say it's your fault.

    They then said they'd give me a free month of service, for all the hassle, loss of business, liability for not having a phone (I'm a pool cover tech and I'm on call. If I can't get out to a cover that's broken and fix it, and someone drowns due to there not being a cover in place, I and my company are liable), that free month didn't happen. They ended up taking out my payment WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, 9 days early, messing up my budget. They'll "credit" my account, but will deactivate my account.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Until then, it is so confusing. I feel that AT&T lures you in but prices go up drastically after the promotion ends. There is not sufficient communication to remind the customer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am in tech by profession and know when someone does not know single thing about technology, this was the guy. Some of the sentences he said to me during our conversation "We do not let customer dictate how we run our business, some customers will go but we will get some more". He constantly interrupted and never really tried to understand the situation, which is the basis of customer service. I asked for manager and he said we do not have any and he will transfer me to billing.

I planned to visit my parents in Cuba and I was wondering if can I use my iPhone in Cuba on the same way I use it here in USA. I went to store close to my house and speak with an agent named Bryan and asked him for a plan that permits me to use my phone in Cuba.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I have had AT&T for many years because everyone in my family uses AT&T and we can call each other without using our limited minutes. I also have the old unlimited data package and I am probably paying a premium for the service but I don't want to worry about using too much data because I use that feature more than talk minutes. The only time that I called AT&T customer service was to discuss my bill and the fact that I was using more minutes for several months in a row and wondered if I had adequate minutes in my package considering my rollover minutes were being used up. The agent gave me 5000 more rollover minutes and I didn't have to increase my voice minutes because that would last me a very long time. I frankly want to keep my unlimited data package that the other companies are not offering to their customers. Except in a few locations where I travel (northern Wisconsin, for example) my AT&T service has been pretty good.

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

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

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

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

    I have been a AT&T customer for 5+ years. I'm usually happy with their service and customer support. If you ever have a problem, just call them and they are really good about fixing any issues you have. My only problem with them is how slow their data speeds are once you go over your initial data limit. I pay almost $200 a month for two phone lines and service on my iPad. And only get 6 gigs of data between the three. You can increase your monthly data or even get unlimited data (for an outrageous price) but my bill is too expensive as it is for me to increase my monthly data limit.

    I'm always at home on my wifi to help conserve my data for the month but 6 gigs goes by very quick! The pricing for data need to be changed to something more reasonable. Once you go over your data you might as well turn your phone off til your next cycle cause it's a useless paper weight. A very expensive one at that! I have never wanted to switch phone companies since I've been with them but this slow internet will drive you crazy! You can't do anything on the internet or apps. Forget trying to look up that address or play your favorite song on Pandora/Spotify. I've always talked highly about AT&T because their service is better than anyone else around my area but I'm close to switching to something cheaper, they are making me broke!

More benefits to Prepaid no contract plans. ATT/DirecTv Bundle option- existing clients are not eligible for bundle without additional 2yr contract. DirecTv SVc is worst TV plan with overages, erroneous charges, service breaks, not honoring equipment replacement insurance. High costs after first few months. Billing errors cannot be corrected, built-in default to disconnect chats and cust svc calls-cycling thru uninformed reps who do not have authorization to correct billing "errors" or overcharges. "Retention Dept' exists solely to sweat clients into giving up without getting credit back for overbilling.

    ATT Prepaid- ATT is the ONLY carrier who will BLOCK your smartphone feature for WIFI Calling without notifying signing clients. This restriction is not disclosed. In-Store Sales team, Online Cust Svc Reps AND Phone Cust Svc would not divulge this information and are trained to say "it will be the same" when switching from postpaid to prepaid plans. This is misleading and intentional omission. ATT also removes the chat feature for customer svc for PREpaid loyal clients with the SAME upgraded plans only advanced payment. False advertising and punishment for clients AFTER they have already prepaid for the service they CANNOT get refunded for.

    Now we have 4 phones we want use because wifi calling through our trusted reliable ISP is blocked by ATT. Their customer svc in all forms is atrocious. Number calls and great time investment over several days is the average for solving technical or connection issues. Choose another carrier on the Same GSM network.

Given that opening I mentioned my Apple ID had been disabled and even the Apple Store, after hours of trying, and a call to a supervisor could not help me other than to give me a case number.

Well little did I know this "free" phone was NOT free because the promo he mentioned was no longer valid. So I then asked to cancel my order to this "free" phone with AT&T, well for some reason it was not able to be cancelled because the order had already been processed and I had to wait for it to be delivered and I was told to return it. Well I DID! I used the return label they provided for me to use, USPS took take of it and the tracking information says it was "tendered to return agents" which would be Newgistics. I then try to track the package with Newgistics.

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

    In the meantime I had already contacted AT&T several times. I explained my entire situation to them several times. They opened up a case for me. It was denied. (I never got a call back to let me know it was denied within the time frame they gave to me. I had to do their job, I had to call them so they could let me know my case had been denied.) During that call another case was opened up to further this investigation to find out where this phone had mysteriously vanished to and again I was told I would be contacted and yet again I was not contacted! During this whole time I am stuck paying this "free" phone that was never "free" from the very beginning, every month since this phone and new phone line was added to my acct.

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

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

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

When I got angry because I had been blatantly lied to, I passed from person to person. I demanded to talk to someone who actually knew something and basically it came down to the fact that they could do nothing. They didn't care that someone in THEIR store sold me a phone that I could not use now and that I would end up going to Australia and be phoneless.

    So now I have a $300 phone that is useless to me because I refuse to pay 4 months for a plan that I cannot use because I am living outside of the country.

So I just decided to pay everything so I can get away from this company. I am a reasonable person but waiting for 2 months to get my final bill is the last draw. I should have listen to other people's warning regarding how they treat their customers and run their business. Now I’m a walking advocate to all my relatives and friends on not to trust a company such as At&t. Never again.

    My son's phone had pink line, went to AT&T store and they contacted tech support. Support said an update should fix problem, that they knew about problem with that type of Samsung. That didn't fix issue, couple of months later my wife took son back to AT&T. Contacted warranty, my wife told them over the phone that phone now has broken screen. Warranty sent new phone and send old phone back. Got old phone in mail and note saying they are charging 609 dollars for the phone. Went to AT&T and notes in computer don't show about broken screen. But tech called the technician that help my wife and son and he remembers my wife telling warranty about broken screen.

    I have called 14 times and get some person from another country I cannot understand and when I tell them my problem they just hang up. No lie, but every time

    I talk with someone in America I can understand, and they do nothing to help. Twice they hung up. The worst service I have ever seen and I am 62. If I had someone else I could use for a landline I would. I will make sure I never use anything else AT&T. Disgusting service and they should be ashamed.

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

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

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

    I went to AT&T store to upgrade my iPhone 6+ to a 7. If I took the free upgrade I was not allowed to donate to military. Took free upgrade. Not free at all!!! I am charged and credited $25.67 every month 'til $770.10 is paid off. This was not ever mentioned as the phone was free. Yet there is an invoice saying I owe $769.99. I have been back to store about 10 times to straighten out. They claim the phone is free because get credits- lies, lies lies!!! There is no resolution. If I wanted an iPhone 8 I would have to pay off the existing "free" balance and then purchase a new phone. THIS IS FRAUD OF THE MOST OVERT KIND. AT&T needs to be stopped from abusing the public. My husband bought a phone the same day and is faced with the same dilemma. I have receipts of purchase and monthly bills if I can fax or send copies. This is a very serious situation that needs to be addressed.

    Once Again AT&T should get zero stars. I had DIRECTV and AT&T internet and needed to upgrade. Unfortunately they convinced my wife to "Bundle" both accounts which they changed the account numbers so my automatic billing sent payments which AT&T has still not acknowledged. On top of that when the installer came over he stated he could not install a phone line and would make sure it was taken off our bill. Of course it was not. So I got in a billing dispute with them and they said they would take the charges off, they did not. 3 months later I am on the phone with them again and they are claim that I have the service which I do not, and of course still charging me. We are now close to $500 in what I consider fraudulent changes.

    How are they still in business??? They take money out your account unknowingly??? I called and went into the local store and I received apologies and was told to tell the bank to refuse it. Next, customer service overseas? For United States? Why? They don't understand English and I can't understand them. Shame! Wait times on the phone is completely unacceptable!!! Over 45 minutes. Hidden added charges! Last this day and age AT&T should have superb connectivity but NOOOO! I hardly get reception near hospitals and wooded areas!

    I can't wait to pay this off and go back to my Old service! And I will stay there until I die or they close! I only switched because my son wanted a damn iPhone!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    If it was possible to give NO STARS I would definitely choose that. This past February 2017, I decided to get DirecTV. I had been without cable for over 6 years. I suppose all my angst and frustration I had experienced almost 6 years ago with AT&T had faded and I stupidly thought that getting DirecTV was a good idea. OMG it was NOT. I have had nothing but problems. The AT&T rep... bundled my phone and DirecTV and completely disabled my home phone for the past 5 months. I have called repeatedly to get my home phone fixed... Apparently the fool "PORTED" my number by mistake back in February 2017! So I keep getting the monthly home phone charge and paying for a PHONE that has been UNUSABLE for 5 months.

    ALSO - The DirecTV function to rewind when you tune into a channel that offers that option DOES NOT WORK. It has been a huge fail. I have spent HOURS and HOURS on the phone with AT&T reps! I am so greatly disappointed with AT&T and the SERVICE THEY DO NOT provide. I demanded a refund (for paying for a service I never received or could use) from a supervisor named "Adrina" and she had the nerve to say that it must not have been that big of a problem since she sees that there was a month that I did not call and report and complain about the issue. I stated to her... "DO YOU KNOW that when I DO call I have spend up to 2.5 hours being transferred from one rep to another. That is not how I want to spend my time. Are you kidding me??"

When the phones arrive and I went to the store for help the bill increased by nearly $100 per month. Horrible consumer service. When I called back the man was very rude. I went right down the street to T-Mobile and they were WONDERFUL. Use extreme caution with this company!!! HORRIBLE. T-Mobile is cheaper and so much better!!!

    I am so upset with AT&T... I don't know why they are still in business... They have so much hidden charges and not explaining well their contracts... I sign up with AT&T a month ago... They give me a fix bill for $200 a month for 4 line included 2 phone installment but I was shock when I got my first month bill was $847.00 so I called and they told me that it was a mistake that they charge me 2 unlimited plus line so that's fine... They credit $245 but I am still stuck with $602 but they said they can't do anything anymore because they have to charge me $100 each for 4 line for activation fee which I am not aware and never mentioned.

    So I am so mad and put them on a social media so I got a lot of negative feedback. So now I decided to cancelled them today and I am trying to return the phone but they told me they can't take the phone back so they told me that I have to pay 2k for 4 phone and this I was not aware also. So they lie. I am so mad because I don't know why they give false information and they are not up front with you. I know and understand what I sign up for and it was a mess. Who does this. And who is going to pay $847.00 phone service.

    This is stressing and I don't know who experience what I experienced with them and I am worried because I know this is going to affect my credit that I am not aware of. Can I fight this case? I hate AT&T and I pray that they will go down. Any similar case out there and what advised you can give please... I am stressing out because of my credit... Please put the word out there that AT&T is no good company and that they don't care about their customer and that they give false information.
