At&t is a bunch of crooks!!! Agreed to sign up with att a couple of months ago which includes Directv. The plan I chose was $185.00 a month. Received my current bill and it's $200. When I called they said a discount from 15 months ago expired. There was no discount that I can ever remember. This is the kind of BS that happens when companies merge and less competition. Companies have Congress in their back pockets and can pull this on consumers!!!

I took my daughter and granddaughter into the Murrieta, CA ATT store to move our family plan from Verizon to ATT. "Eric" waited on us and assured us that with 4 new iPhone 7s, our service would cost $285 a month, but with my 15% law enforcement discount it would be $255 a month. (I told Eric I was retired and he assured me I still qualified for the discount) Great deal! So we decided to go with it. Eric suggested we get 4 iPads at $99 each and told us it would be $1.00 a month per iPad. I made sure I repeated, "So, that's only FOUR DOLLARS more a month on our bill? For exactly the same unlimited data and voice as our phones? Are you sure, cause that sounds cheap" Eric said, "yes, $4.00" So we got iPads.
A month later the bill comes. My discount was omitted and our iPads were charged $20. Each! I called ATT to complain. They said the iPads are $20 each a month for the service and they don't have a $1.00 a month plan. We went into the store, Of course, Eric was on vacation. The manager Jasmine told my daughter they had complaints on Eric. When they questioned Eric, he lied and said he told us $10. A month! NO, he told us a dollar a month, we all heard him or we wouldn't have got iPads! Jasmine said the best they could do for us is change the iPads to a different plan costing $5.00 each a month, but only giving us 1 gig! That makes these iPads worthless, as you can't stream or do ANYTHING with only 1 gig!
Or, she said we could sell them, pay the $129 to get out of the iPad contract, because it was over 14 days since we bought them so ATT won't take the back. Well, it takes THIRTY DAYS to even get a bill to discover you've been cheated! Why should we even have to deal with all of this, when this whole mess occurred because "Eric" lied to us, tricking us into buying the iPads and promising my LE discount! This is Fraud!
Also, now they were telling me my LE discount does not apply to this plan! Only Military does! REALLY? If they'd have BEEN HONEST in the beginning, we would have NEVER gone with ATT! We just want what we were promised! I returned to the store and they again said I qualified for the discount, typed in my ID, and said it would reflect on my next bill. I got email saying the person who submitted the ID wasn't an actual manager, that I needed to go back into the store and have the manager resubmit it. I did that. This makes 3 times I've shown my ID to these people! Keep getting emails saying I need to prove qualifying for the discount. I call numerous times. Hung up on, passed around to different people, NO ONE seems to be able to resolve this!
Oh did I add that the support services are all people who barely speak English! How is someone in Pakistan supposed to be able to help me? They just hang up when I continuously say please repeat I don't understand you. We will be stuck with ATT for 20 more months. We will be changing as soon as that time is up! Do yourselves a favor and choose Verizon or another service! At least Verizon kept their promises, even though services weren't great in some areas!

I have been a customer for 20 years and had always thought we had a great working relationship. I had been with them longer than my marriage for heaven's sake. And I was happy with the services. But then I ordered my iPhone and we have not been on good terms since. The phone was not delivered when they said it would and then they told me it was because I live in a bad area and couldn't leave it on my porch. I live in a gated community and packages are routinely delivered at the guard shack. Truth was it had not been sent. Three weeks later I got the phone.
My internet service was another issue. I was paying for high speed and getting dial up speed. I was told there was nothing they could do and that no one could do a better job than they do. Well I now have internet through another vendor, much faster, and will soon be switching mobile service. I understand service failure, equipment breaks, all that. I don't understand lies and AT&T lies with regularity.

I have had multiple terrible experiences with AT&T's customer service department. When traveling to Canada we requested international service. We were told we could pay approximately $6 more each month and receive data, text, phone services (plus an additional gb of data) to use while roaming just as we do at home. We started getting warnings about excessive use $100 here, another $100 there and then the sent us a bill for about $700.
When I called they said the rep should not have offered that and that we "had asked for service to Mexico". I'm pretty sure I knew I was headed to Canada and asked for service in Canada, not Mexico. That is just one experience and it took hours to resolve. We have been gouged by AT&T on roaming ever since. There are about 8 or more equally terrible encounters with customer service since. Basically 100% of our interactions were unhelpful, rude or completely incompetent. I started documenting my calls because they would say, "Unfortunately the person you spoke with did not enter any notes about your call".
Here we are a couple of months later trying to pay off our outstanding balance on our service, plus the outstanding balance on an installment plan for an iPhone. We have cancelled our service with AT&T and moved on to a different service provider because we just can't deal with them anymore. Today I spent 2 hours and 4 minutes trying to pay these two balances. I had to call 6 times, speak with 4 different reps, one who hung up on me and sent me back to the beginning of the cue and another who said she was transferring me to their collections department because only they can sort out closed accounts. That sounded fine until the voicemail said they're closed today. She basically dumped my call.
I finally got someone on the line and I explained that I need to pay off my phone so I can have it unlocked and use it with my new provider. He said he couldn't help and that I'd have to wait 30 days and it would automatically be unlocked. I told him that was not good enough. I need to be able to use my phone now and there must be a better way. Eventually he sorted it out. It's paid and I now have to wait 3-4 days for it to be unlocked. It's being held hostage and they have NO claim to it. This should be automatic. This is also just one example. It should not take this much work to pay a balance and a phone off. We will NEVER do business with AT&T again. They also asked why we don't get DirecTV! What a joke. They think they can win back our business! Sorry AT&T, that ship sailed several calls ago! I'm speechless at their incompetence and can never get back my time they have wasted. It is literally hours upon hours.

Service was disconnected. Was 11 days late, was set up on auto draft. I contacted AT&T and was told that the auto draft had been canceled. I had been out of town for 8 days unaware that the draft did not go through. When I arrived home no DirecTV, no internet! I contacted the bank and saw the payment had not been drafted, contacted AT&T and made a payment and explained the situation, set it back up on auto draft. I was told service would be restored in 2 to 3 hrs. Service was not. Contacted them back the next day was told sorry there was nothing they could do till the following day! They immediately withdrew payment from my bank account and they are going to take days to restore my service! Of course I am still having to pay for the days that I don't have service! AT&T as soon as my contract is over I am switching companies!!! This is uncalled for!

AT&T unilaterally locked me out of my account due to some supposed fraudulent activity being detected. I would appreciate this security effort if it were handled professionally, but AT&T did everything they could to piss me off and alienate me as a customer forever. They obsessed about some mysterious 4 digit code that I supposedly created years ago and no longer have. They provided no other way of accessing the account over and over and over and over on the phone. When I went into one of their retail stores, the representative, with my photo ID in hand, actually suggested I establish a generic code of **. Their own people suggested a code that would provide ZERO security. So what in God's name is accomplished by locking an account and then suggesting a generic code for future access. That meeting happened in the early afternoon on 5/27/2017.
By early evening on 5/27/2017, my service with them was canceled and I transferred my phone number to a REAL cell phone carrier (Verizon). On 5/28/2017, at the same retail store, the representative could accept the payoff of the phone but couldn't then unlock the phone. The representative referred me to a phone number to handle the unlocking of the old phone and the final payoff. The phone number given routed me to a department that couldn't do either of these things. So, thirty minutes later, I was still on the phone with these rejects from idiot ward.
Only after being transferred three times was a representative actually able to handle the account closeout. And, was then routed to an AT&T website to unlock the phone... despite being assured at the store that the people on the phone could accomplish this action. Consumers would do well by avoiding this completely inept service (non)provider. If you enjoy being locked out of your account for weeks on end, feel free to use this service. Otherwise, go elsewhere. If I could give a negative star rating, I would! If I could sue these clowns for breach of contract and the massive amount of time I've lost trying to fix their mess, I would happily do so!

I recently switched from Verizon to AT&T. My first bill was fine. I paid all of it and more. I get my second bill and there is a deposit fee for $750! I have no idea what this is for. I call them and first I'm told it was an error with the new website because they are updating it. She says, "Don't worry. It will be fixed." A week later still not fixed. I chat online and they tell me it's because I received a double promotion and, "You can't receive a double promotion." We have DirecTV and that was the deal that was offered to us. Now they aren't going to honor it??? What?
They open a claim to get this resolved. No one ever contacts me about the claim, the claim is closed. I call a week later again about this fee. Now, I'm told it was a deposit that was put on because of credit??? But it wasn't on the first bill and when I signed up for service my credit was reviewed and I was approved for all five lines with no deposit. It shows that on the first bill deposit credit. After this confusing phone conversation that went nowhere I decide to go to my local store. They agree with me that it shouldn't be on the bill. They open a claim and tell me not to worry, it should be fixed in a few days. Three days later my phones are shut off! My husband is out of town with no phone service! I have to leave work to go back to the ATT store to fix this issue. I'm there for two hours, and they still can't get this resolved. I end up having to pay 575 that I should owe because I can't get the issue fixed.
It is an error on AT&T that it's on the bill. My second bill that the charge was put onto isn't even due yet but I have to pay it because of the situation. Customer service is terrible! Everyone tells you something different! I can't wait to see what charges are added to next month's bill! I'm sure it will be a fee for the service they terminated that they shouldn't of. Stay with Verizon - cheaper bill means terrible customer service!!

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

I am disappointed with AT&T Switcher Program. Six months ago I took advantage of the AT&T switcher program to add three family members to my account. The in-store representative told us to upload the last bill from our previous provider and AT&T would pay the remaining balance of the phones from the other provider. Today I contacted the Reward Center and they told us that we were not eligible to receive the rewards because we didn't turn in the phones. We purchased three new phones from AT&T when we ported the numbers. Their rep said we had an option about keeping our old phones or trading them in.
We decided to keep the phones since we would probably on get about $60 for the phones. The rep didn't explain that keeping our phones would make us ineligible to receive the rewards. Over the course of six months, the old phones have been given away, we set up a payment plan with the other provider, and my disdain for AT&T business practices increases daily.

We've been with them 10+ years. I was always very satisfied with the service. When there were problems Customer service was always very helpful and I was more than satisfied with solutions offered. I recently called about a possible phone upgrade, and the rep wanted to look over my plan to see if it could be improved. I was told the new plan would save me 15.00 on my bill and get me protection from data overcharges. 15 less sounded good, so I said "sure". The next bill I got had instead jumped by 60 dollars. So I called - The first CS rep on this occasion couldn't seem to understand what, why, or how to help. I became frustrated.
I was then sent through to customer retainment - whom I was told had greater ability to dig deep into issues to solve them. This rep spoke English as a first language. He quickly saw what I was talking about. I had been charged 20.00 over per line - on 3 lines. He issued a credit for 60 and told me it would show on my next bill. Also, he found a plan that would be even less for even more data - or gave me the higher data for the same price. Then I get a bill with no credit applied, and a late fee added.
So, again I call - This CS rep told me I had only been overcharged 45, not 60, so the credit had been declined. We went round and round, but that's what she insisted and that's all she would allow. I did see what she was talking about on the bill as is currently displayed on-line - but that is not what both I and the earlier rep had been seeing just a couple weeks ago. [Mind you - It was not just me - but me and the English as a first language rep - that saw I was overcharged 20.00 per line. He had even brought in his supervisor to look at it. All agreed a mistake had been made and for how much.] And despite the fact I had paid 60.00 over what I legitimately owed on June 2nd - I was somehow late making a payment on June 22nd and charged a late fee.
Also, related to this, they have continuously slammed me onto paperless billing - Something I have never authorized. I'm told the 45.00 they now say they overcharged me will show on my next bill. We'll see I guess. But I will be leaving AT&T just as soon as I can get it arranged. They are nearly as bad as Sprint now. I feel disrespected, manipulated, slammed and lied to. I'll do without cell service before I'll pay such fees to be jerked around by deceptive and snarky twits.

Every time I call AT&T/DirecTV they seem to have no clue on how to help with any situation. They double charged my account. Now it will take up to 10 days to get my money back. They still owe my 2 rewards cards one for 100 and another for 200. Still have not got anywhere with the cards for over a year. I have constant service interruption service for internet and of course when I call I get nowhere. Stay for away from AT&T/DirecTV. They dont care. They just want your MONEY.

When purchasing a iPhone from AT&T store no. S923 on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California I was told that with my iPhone purchase I could receive an iPad for $100. They did not inform me that I was also signed up for two years contract on additional line for the iPad. I specifically asked the sales rep at the store if there would be any additional charges to my bill. Within two weeks I started getting increases on my monthly AT&T bill. I noticed there was a fourth line on my bill so I called and they told me it was for the iPad. And if I want to change it I would have to go to the store. I went to the store and spoke with a manager David. He was very reluctant on helping me. In fact he kept a poker face to the whole conversation. He told me that it was my responsibility to read the entire receipt before I left. My husband and I both specifically remember asking the sales rep if there would be any additional charges. He told us no.
We both remember it plain as day. The sales rep whose name was Robert ** was very dishonest with on the whole transaction. We ask that the phone line be canceled because we did not want to be in a two year contract. AT&T told us that we would have to pay $136 to break the contract. Grant it the new phone line only cost $10 plus tax extra each month and is not that big of a hit in my pocket. But when I'm really disappointed about is and I'm really upset about is the dishonesty the sales reps are trained to do. I've done my research on the internet and I have found reports and reviews and interviews of "X" AT&T sales reps to say this is a common practice. It's a switch and bait sales training techniques that puts a strong arm robbery on the customer. AT&T's sales practices are taking hard on my money right off the dinner table and right out of the pocket of individuals.
They are training their sales reps to be deceitful and close the deal without relinquishing all the information the customer needs to know to make a proper decision. Then when a customer finds out the customer calls the 800-number the 800 number refers them back to the store. The store is reluctant or refuses to do anything to resolve the problem. This manager goes by the name of David knew that this associate at the AT&T store lied to us. I could tell it on his face but he would not do anything probably because AT&T corporate and this is an AT&T corporate store has trained him to push the responsibility back on the customer.
But the responsibility lies with AT&T corporate and her sales practices, their sales training in their sales reps on the floor. And be careful with AT&T they were rope you into a contract any way they can. Read your receipt before you leave, have them put a contract out and put in front of your face. Do not take their word whatsoever. They are trained in deceitful practices and they are trying to take the money right out of your checking account. They work on commission and it's aggressive sales techniques. AT&T should be ashamed.

No surprise they do not have a rating portion of this page! Spent 3 hours on the phone with their customer service, for something that had already been resolved a year ago!! Representative was rude, condescending, and argued. Had to talk to 13 people before we were told that WE WERE RIGHT, there had been a miscommunication with DirecTV (which DirecTV told them we were correct from the first 5 minutes in the conversation but AT&T continued to argue with them as well). No apology. No nothing. I am sure they will be bothering us again in 3 months forgetting this conversation, and never correcting what they promised to tonight. JUST LIKE THE LAST THREE TIMES!!?? If you are remotely thinking about AT&T RUN ANYWHERE ELSE. There is ALWAYS an issue that takes a minimum of 1.5 hours to resolve with their "customer service". HATE AT&T!!!

I am very disappointed with AT&T customer service, they are very rude especially the ones that call themselves managers. I spoke to one, her name was Amber, trying to dispute some roaming charges on my account but instead of being helpful or explain to me with courtesy she was very rude telling me that she does not believe what I was saying. I spent more than one hour on the phone with no resolution. I asked to speak to another agent. She told me that I had to call back again and go through the automated service. She told me if I wanted to spend my whole day on the phone I could do that. It was my time to waste. I can't believe that is how they treat their customers. I will be switching my service as soon as I can.

Did not even sign up for AT&T and started receiving bills for internet, which I never ordered. Called and cancelled on 4 different occasions because I kept receiving bills and emails. I was given the run around on the customer service line for weeks with a different answer every time. I was assured it was canceled, then I started receiving wifi equipment in the mail, which I returned. But alas, I still was sent a ** bill for $500.
So I went into the local AT&T store in Lawrence KS and complained, the representative I talked to was an ** and said there was nothing at all that he could do, he wouldn't even talk to me for 45 seconds, what a pompous ** he was... Still received emails and calls, until finally on the 7th call to AT&T customer service, after 2 months I was finally able to cancel the service (at least I hope) and this was only after being on the phone for hours.
In short, do not get AT&T, get anything else. MetroPCS from Wal-mart is vastly superior, market strike these idiots. Why help a dying company that screws over their customers anymore? Never get AT&T, and if they have already hooked you, cut them off, terrible service, terrible deals. I thought crappy company were supposed to die off in a free market, facilitate their demise!!!

Biggest mistake walking into the ATT store. I have been a customer for over 10 years. I was there about a new phone!! Not DATA OR DIRECTV!! The salesperson was trying to sell me the DirecTV and data plan. I made it very clear that I didn't want either plan, due to ATT data is terrible and I have Comcast. Those salespeople were like a bunch of slimy snakes ready to bite (At this time my mother had died and I was away from my home for 2 months). When I came home ATT had sent me the equipment to hook up for the data plan!! The manager at the store signed me up after I told him NO. He was trying to make his quota for the month, and used unworthy tactics.
Now my nightmare starts: I called ATT numerous times. Talked to so many representatives and they gave me no help. I was connected to a different department and a different person. Every time I tried to tell them the situation they would remark: I signed up for the plan and I'm stuck with it!! I kept trying to explain I never placed an order. At this point I'm going nowhere, ATT doesn't care and I am filing a complaint.

I have had so many problems with AT&T. I moved two lines to Verizon. AT&T cancelled my phone multi-line phone insurance coverage. When I attempted to file a claim with Asurion I was told I had no coverage. AT&T admitted their mistake and reinstated the coverage and said since I didn't cancel it, Asurion would cover the damaged phone. Asurion will not. AT&T made multiple promises regarding this problem and their last and final "offer" is for a $50 credit toward a "GoPhone" to replace an iPhone 7s+. Totally laughable. Between 2 houses, internet, TV, home phones and 5 cell phones I pay/paid AT&T over $10,000 per year. They refuse to do what is right and resolve a complaint because they hope people will just go away. They win, I will go away but will make an effort to spread the word. I also intend to file a claim against them through our local courts. Never make the mistake I did of doing business with a company like this.

You can sign a 2 yr contract, pay out the phone if you sign for a free phone on promotion. The fine print says they will keep your phone free of charge to them. If you make a late payment and YOU will pay for 2 yrs. NO credit given. I got scammed. I thought they were legit and nothing to worry about. Wrong.

Several later no resolution and I called again and again and again and no resolution.

I've asked them to send me contract with dates and amounts and never received such documents. Today the conversation went, "We have no credits to your account."

Bait and switch pricing - We switched to AT&T and were told we'd get 4 lines unlimited at 190.00 a month. We went into store and were told they had a deal buy one get one iPhone7 Plus and they'd buy our phones from us for 650 each which they didn't give me the 650 for each phone. Said one was damaged or something. That wasn't true. And I was also told we'd get 650 each line for switching to AT&T. I haven't seen that either by the way. When we left the store we were told the bill wouldn't be more than 250 a month with everything including insurance so today I call because my bill is like 365.00. I am told the bill will be running 300.00 a month. I explained everything and the lady switches me to her loyalty dept. What a joke!
The guy basically says he can't do anything for me and if I cancel the service they will charge me for 4 phones at 750.00 each. I am not on a contract but I have to stay 30 months and pay them more money than I was told and then he is like, “Well did you call or go into the store and confront the manager if you really think this" blah blah and I just said enough. I hung up on the guy and he has the nerve to call me back says, “Oh wasn't sure did you hang up on me or not.” I am like, “Yep sure did ‘cause you're making my blood pressure go up. It is not my job to confront a manager at a local store!" I did the right thing! I called the number on the bill so, here we have a guy on the phone wanting me to confront another employee at his company. Really? What the crap! I ask if we can undo the deal and I give back the phones and they return mine. His answer was to go back to the bait and switch people! Customer service sucks!
Never use AT&T please. In my opinion they promise a lot and deliver nothing but stress!!! I am now stuck having to overpay for a service and cannot get anyone to help! Had the dept. that should be the one to help me, tell me to go confront another employee in person! No regard for me as a customer, no regard for the bait and switch store manager either. Almost feel sorry for him as his safety must be put at risk daily! We have other services with AT&T and don't usually have problems but if this is the way we’re going to be treated I am going to shop around for all my other services as well as this one!
You have my old phones and have stuck me in a bad position that could hurt my credit if I don't keep the service for 30 months. You are now overcharging me monthly by 50 more dollars a month. I still am paying my cancellation fee for switching services you promised to pay and have not! I am still paying for my other phones and you did not give me the full 650 per phone. They were fairly new! Not damaged!

I told the rep I have the text message confirming that the arrangement was for the 6/25/17.
I then forwarded the message to the rep. I was still told there is nothing that can be done and that they will only honor the 6/16/17 date. I then called customer service directly and explained the situation again. I was then told whoever the rep was on 6/5/17 never mentioned the arrangement for 6/25/17 and also lied and said I was told that they couldn't set it up for 6/25/17. I then told the rep about the confirmation text stating the arrangement for 6/25/17. I told her because I was told the arrangement was set up for 6/25/17 I will not be able to make the payment on 6/16/17 and I wasn't prepared to make a payment on 6/16/17. She then told me there is nothing she can do and that maybe if I go to a corporate store and show them the text they may can do something. So at this time I am frantic because I do not want my services suspended.
So I leave work and go to the nearest store located in Crestwood, Il. As I entered the location a rep was at the door and I explained the situation. He then said, "There is nothing we can do here, we can't change payment arrangements and if you got a confirmation for 6/25/17 you should be ok." I showed him the reminder text and he said, "Ignore it and it would take 2-3 billing cycles before your services are suspended." Or if I want to block them from debiting my account I should try that. He then opened the door and sent me on my way.
I then called customer service again from my car and was told all the info the rep at the store stated was incorrect and that he should have called them directly to verify the text message and then they may be able to do something. Now I have to go back to the store again, I was told to speak to a different rep at the location, have them call in to verify the text message I received and hope it can be adjusted correctly. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with ATT. This was an error on their part and now I am wasting time and gas trying to get their mistake fixed to avoid having my services interrupted.

I went to AT&T and bought 2 wireless lines and when I got home I noticed all the misleading charges hidden in the process so I decided to cancel the order. Well the order has been canceled for about 3 weeks and today I received an email stating a payment has been processed!!! I called several times their customer service and they hang up on me 2 times and on the 3rd time the person told me they don't process refund and that I would have to call my bank to deny the transaction. I can't believe a company like this doesn't process a refund. I can't believe the nightmare this has turned. STAY AWAY from AT&T. I never had a ridiculous problem like this and this is a shame.

I am a client of AT&T for 14 years. TMobile has a better offers, so Tuesday I opened an account with TMobile. I immediately connected to an AT&T agent to cancel my and my husband lines and I was on the phone for an hour. He said that he cancelled my account. After couple hours later, I noticed that our phones were still active. I had to pay $290 to AT&T as ETF. After that AT&T should unlock the phones for me and my husband to be able to use TMobile sim card. They started the process. Because they didn't see my payment, they couldn't unlock the phones.
I did contact AT&T again. They opened another case. "This is to notify you that a case has been created to complete your request to unlock you devices. Please refer to this CASE ID: ** (for line **) and** (for line **) and RESOLUTION DATE: On or before Afternoon (PST) of June 16, 2017.Thank you!" AT&T made us to wait for two days without phones.

I was in need of new phone service around Nov 2016 and AT&T was having a big promotion through Walmart where if you bought a Samsung J3 you get $150 off the phone and $100 off your statement. If you bought an iPhone 5S you'd get $100 off the phone and $50 off your statement. You had to establish an account with AT&T for at least 2 to 3 months before receiving the credit. I did exactly what I was suppose to do as a customer and after the second month there was no credit on my Bill. I called for the first time and spoke with an AT&T representative. They told me to wait til after the 3rd month and it should be applied. If not, then they said to call back. Well it wasn't, so I called back. I was on the phone with them for about an hour and they said they'd have someone call me back. I've done this every month trying to get what was due to me after fulfilling my part as a customer up until now.
I made my final call Tues, June 13, 2017 and spoke with Rick, one of AT&T's representative's, and explained to him what had happened and he opened up a case on this and I told him to notate the account that if this wasn't resolved and if my credits didn't get credited to me, then I'd be switching carriers asap. He submitted the claim and an AT&T specialist called me back and left me a message to call back. I did and they were closed. I called back today, June 14, 2017 and spoke with another rep, and I exclaimed to them I was returning a call from them calling me back about this case. The rep told me that AT&T had looked at this case and they were not going to honor this promotion. The rep was sorry and I told her it's not her fault. I told her in a respectful way that I would be switching my service to another carrier I was with before that I loved and had no problems with asap. I'll never be with AT&T ever again. Thanks.

AT&T has the worst customer-service possible. 2 years ago we ended our contract. Today we received a call from a collections agency about an overdue bill. Hmmm, first of all we canceled our service with nothing outstanding/due and now I'm told that we never paid our cancellation charge. WTF! So we called customer-service, we get an absolute runaround with the technician. She states that we paid our bill at the end of May 2015, sees that we called in June of 2015 after trying to collect proof of our cancellation papers. Then called corporate to complain about not receiving our final paperwork. Only to tell us that "you will still owe such bill". Um, excuse me if it shows we paid our bill, and your computer log shows our original complaint, as well shows that we were in good standing after over 10 years of service and paid everything. How exactly do we owe anything?
Supervisor states that, "Basically you didn't pay us so you owe us the debt..." Horrible, will never recommends and will be canceling my TV provider due to the fact that they are under the umbrella of AT&T. I hope this reaches the appropriate people in the company and something can be resolved. But at this point I will never recommend any service through AT&T and will let everyone know of our experience. Thank you to the technician for dealing with us, we understand that you had nothing to do with our situation and I do apologize for making it your day a bit rough. To the supervisor, I have never dealt with anyone as unprofessional as yourself. I hope that honestly you are reprimanded for how you treated us. The only person that comes close to you and your standards and of unprofessionality is the vile sales associate at the Citrus Heights location that originally was part of this morbid reality of customer-service.

If I considered working with AT&T as my provider, because of those two I would no longer take AT&T into consideration, who knows who else within the AT&T community would back step on a warranty? Tina the only one to take the time out to fully explain what was going on, was amazing! Although she did not have the authority to do more than explain, she did not just push my issue aside like Mel & Aurrie who decided his phone call was more important than my/a customer's issue.

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

We purchased my son a new iPhone from AT&T in 2015. Along with this outright purchase (we did not sign-up for the installment plan), we purchased the insurance plan through AT&T which is serviced by Asurion. In November 2016, my son's iPhone stopped working entirely. We filed a claim (claim ID: **) through the Asurion insurance, paid the $100 deductible, and we received a replacement iPhone on November 7, 2016. Everything was fine until we switched phone carriers on June 3, 2017. AT&T would not unlock this phone because they stated that we owed money on the installment plan based on the phone's IMEI number. I explained that we never purchased via installment and that we had proof of outright purchase for this phone.
They then stated that they could see that the person responsible for the installment on this phone was not associated with my account or my family; but they then stated that they would not unlock the phone because someone owed them money. I was then told that I could pay the balance to unlock the phone. I don't think so. I then explained that they had sent me this refurbished phone in November 2016 (claim ID: **) and that if they sent me a replacement phone that someone else had not paid for, that was their problem and they would need to unlock the phone. After over 60 minutes on the phone, they recognized the error and reported that they would unlock the phone within 48 hours. They provided me with a case ID number (**)--I had spoken with Ryan on this call.
After 72 hours and the phone was still not unlocked, I called AT&T back and it was as if they had never even logged the request to unlock. A woman named Ana told me that the phone was ineligible to be unlocked because there was an installment plan balance that I would have to pay first. I explained everything AGAIN. At first she denied that this particular phone was sent to me via the Asurion insurance claim; but after I got firm with her and threatened legal action, she "found" the information and escalated the request to "urgent." She stated that the phone would be unlocked within 24 hours. The case ID number for this incident was **. It has been over 24 hours and the phone is still not unlocked. Keep in mind that we are paying for this phone on Verizon's network now and have been unable to use it for over 5 days.
I googled this problem and found countless reports of fraudulent activity related to this matter with both AT&T and Asurion involved. This is a bonafide scam that AT&T is executing on its customers. I am certain that there are individuals who have probably paid the installment balance--for which they are not responsible--because it would be the easy way out. I am not that person. BEWARE.

When we went in today to get the discount set up they told us that the discount isn't offered with the unlimited plan that we have, which is exactly the opposite of what they told us when we signed the contracts, because we never would have switched had we known that, and I think they knew that which is probably why they decided to lie to us while in the store. So when I talked to the person who we worked with on setting it up he just kept basically saying it wasn't his problem and to contact customer support. So I did, I called twice because the first lady hung up on me.
The second one told me I have to call the "national solution center". The fact that they even have a "national solution center" says they have a lot of problems that need solving that plain old customer support can't handle, that in itself says a lot about how they do business. Very poor customer service, it's all about the commission with these people.

While the overall reliability of AT&T is virtually flawless, like most of today's wireless providers; it is difficult to "reach out and touch someone" via their very own connectivity and that can be ever so frustrating as a paying client.

AT&T excels on their signal strength and diverse product offering. They have a very extensive network so when it comes to reliability, they have it covered. However, their customer service is mediocre. When there is an issue, as a customer your response is to stop by the store. Many times the reps are very cool and refer you to their 800 number quickly. 800 line tries to insinuate you are in the wrong with defective product failure. When they finally relent after keeping you on hold for a lengthy period, they want to nickel and dime the customer with random charges. By then you are so tired that you accept the charges just so you can get off the phone and back to your family's needs.
Their customer service needs major overhaul. Since they have the financial muscle to acquire regional small networks, there should be no reason why they nickel and dime customers with excess fees and sell product they know has manufacturer defects. If an employee admits that certain products have long standing defects, AT&T should not be charging to rectify situations.

Have been with AT&T for almost 17 years now and I have dealt with the same sales person for each transaction. Mike is the best. My two adult sons were on my account for a while, and when they needed to replace a phone or had questions Mike was just a text away. He has made me feel like family. Also, they never drop calls.

I transferred my phone number from AT&T to my business phone service in Dec. 2016 and paid off my iPhone with the intention of giving it to my daughter for Xmas. Without warning, AT&T shut down my cellular service and locked my phone even though everything was paid up. I have called customer service more than a dozen times and get nothing but a run-a-round, transferred to offices that are closed or "accidentally" hung up on. The latest painful evening was supplied to me by Amanda ** who transferred me to a closed office and Mydee ** who sent another unlock request to some website that will respond with something like "kindly go jump in a lake". I intend to keep calling and posting names until AT&T unlocks the phone I paid $600 or reimburses me for the cost.

AT&T is absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with. Their switcher program for cell phones is a scam. They tell you they will buy your current phone for what you owe on it and when you finally get your money it is not the amount the salesperson told you that you would receive. If you go to the store to try and get an explanation they tell you that you misunderstood what they told you. I had to call the corporate office to finally get the money I was owed. I also am using over 2 gigs of data since switching to AT&T yet I never used over 1/2 of a gig with any other cell phone company. When I do reach 2 gigs my high speed data slows down so much that I don't want to use my phone until the next billing cycle.
Their U-verse TV service is also bad. It drops the signal multiple times a day. If you wish to receive a paper bill it is impossible to get one. They want you to pay online. This may be fine with most people but I don't use the computer because I am disabled and it is very difficult for me to sit or use my hands. I have had to call every month to request a bill and because of this my bill is always late. I have never had a late payment before and find that they're total disregard for my situation to be very aggravating. Their customer service is also bad. I will tell anyone that will listen never sign a contract with AT&T! I can't wait for my contract to expire!

I'm happy with AT&T as a cell phone provider with one exception, their pricing. I wish they'd take a look at their competitors and lower the cost for monthly coverage. They have, in my opinion, the best coverage hands down yet I don't understand why they feel a need to charge so much for their service. What they're doing to appease their customers is pair up with other vendors like LiveNation for a first crack at ticket sales for shows and throw offers at the customer with hopes this keeps us happy. What it actually does is it either causes you to spend more money with the partnered vendors or get upset because the partners are none you're interested in doing business with.

We were an AT&T Customer for many years, with home and cellular service. We were very happy with the service received and our cellular service was very good, until they announced they would begin selling service to other cell services. That literally cut our cell service by 50% and suffered dropped calls and unreliable service so we changed our cell service to a reliable service. We are in a low coverage area. Our AT&T home phone service cost has continually gone up over the years, and the long distance feature was costing us over $40.00 per month by itself.
Since we are retired we no longer needed the long distance portion and 4 months ago called to ask that it be removed. Each month since then, we have still had to call to have it credited because although the technician we talked with promised it would be fixed, it isn't. Just received the fourth month bill since cutting it off, and sure enough, the long distance option is still being billed. At this point I am thinking I will have to shut down the home phone service as well. I am tired of wasting my time trying to get this fixed.

Fraud department IVR system (877-844-5584) requires to use voice to describe the problem but took three times to get through as it would not understand what I was saying, although I just used a short one sentence. Ended up just saying what their example said "someone else used my identity to log into my account" - that seemed work. Redirects to the wait queue. Always says "we are experiencing longer than usual times" independently of the day/time. Wait times: 21 minute (hung up), 10 minutes (hung up). 35 minutes, 1 hr 9 minutes, 26 minutes. During that time annoying music and rolling cheerful AT&T marketing promotions over and over... If you make the sound too low, then as someone comes on the phone, they naturally hang up (I had that too after about 45-minute wait). These are no exaggerations - if needed AT&T can pull up system logs if someone cares over there.
After you get to a representative, they seem to be very knowledgeable and helpful. But getting to them is a half-a-day of frustration. So I recommend putting the average customer wait time to the number 877-844-5584 onto the internal AT&T support scorecard and tie it to the compensation of the fraud department management team responsible for its adequate resourcing. Plus make the team who designed the IVR system call to it themselves once in a while.

With AT&T a customer literally must fight for their consumer rights for refunds and services.

Then dug a huge hole in her private yard to install "neighborhood" Fios services communication post and left a huge hole in her private backyard. They never corrected the hole nor apologized to my mother for illegally installing public services on her private tax paying property.
AT&T's customer service is extremely poor because they seldom if ever can agree with package sales, pitches and monthly invoices. Don't ask for a printed monthly bill. Instead of charging you for one monthly bill like most carriers, AT&T charges you monthly for "every" cellular line on your account. AT&T automatically charges insurance on every equipment listed on your account not giving their customer the right to decide.
AT&T selfishly places value on self and money and definitely not on customers. That is so unethically unlawful. If they overcharge you they won't refund your money but puts credits on your "next" month's cellular bill. At the same time on that credited cellular bill AT&T will add additional "unknown" costs that consume the credit they gave you. They can't ever get nor maintain correct cellular bill and plan coding. One can never place value in their advertised services. They advertise various cellular plans, programs and amenities and then fail to comply or honor any of them. When it comes to sales and customer service you cannot get quality consistent correct cellular information. The FTC should deregulate AT&T and make them stick to the basics. Because clearly AT&T has bitten off more than it can ethically maintain and that includes its services of internet, landline, cellular and television.

On 5/21/17 my wife and I decided to "bundle" our TV, internet, and phone service with AT&T so we could save over $100 per mo. by doing so. We called AT&T customer service and spent 2 hours with a tech getting the plan we wanted, running credit reports, and immediately pay $54.38 for the extra TV connection we wanted. The tech explained that even though our current phone service is with AT&T since it was South Central Bell, we must have a new one installed to get the "bundle price", otherwise we will pay a higher rate. After much discussion, speaking with the super, and getting transferred into a black hole, we agreed and tried unsuccessfully to get back with customer service. To our dismay, we received an email for next day installation of the DirecTV, but did not include the phone or internet.
5/21/17 we called customer service to find out what was happening and had to go through two techs before we got one that could speak English effectively. They explained that the order was wrong but they could make the necessary changes. This took another 2 hrs. with a complete new order including more credit reports, even though they could see I had already paid. Once the order was complete, they explained that they would order a separate installation for the phone and internet on 5/21/17 between 12-4 pm. 15 min. later, another email arrived asking for us to call customer service because more info was needed for installation or it will be cancelled. When we called, we were told that the "bundle" could not be installed until our present phone was disconnected, and that could not be done until 5/22/17 by an "account specialist".
At 12:45 pm as we were leaving for a visit with friends, an AT&T tech arrived to install our TV order that customer service had told me was cancelled because we have phone service. He laughed and told me that this was not the first time he had heard that as he was leaving. 5/22/17 we decided that we have had enough and there is a message in all this. I called customer service again and cancelled my existing phone service, and I am staying with my present service until I can find something better. No one should be exposed to such frustration when they are trying to purchase a service.

Everyone in the room had cell service except me. Text messages "not delivered" is what I experienced! I even had text messages not delivered when I was not in a building! I was on my way to a local hospital and needed to make an important phone call and when I dialed the number it said call cannot go through! This has happened randomly over the last 5 months. Now I am at a new job in a building 10 miles from my house and I can't get wireless service in my building. I am on the 23rd floor! At times my phone or my wife's phone will freeze up.
So after deciding this is** I called customer service. They want to do troubleshooting??? "What the hell for" I asked! I am in a Metropolitan area NYC??? After all the run around I called a corporate phone number 1 800 807 4205. This is to the president of the company. AT&T expects that if you're having issues with their service you have to troubleshoot??? Why in god's creation do I need to do troubleshooting. Suggestions like update your iPhone software or reset your phone is all excuses!

Called and explained I wanted to return both iPhones and 2 tablets (that we don't use) for a full refund and no costs to me and my wife! The first person I spoke to was very concerned and considerate.
The next jerk was a total jerk once again asking to "troubleshoot" my issues. So I told the jerk I was having issues with text messages not delivered, phones freezing up, phone calls that don't go through etc. He says to me, "If you're having issues I can help you but we need to "troubleshoot" again"!!! I was livid at this point because this is the same ** I went through when I called 611 and got a stupid customer service idiot... "troubleshooting". So the second idiot asked if I was having issues now and I said no! He said in order to help me I would have to troubleshoot with him.

I had left Verizon for other reasons and being with this careless company for a year I have had a myriad of issues and the only answer I got from the jerk at corporate was "well if your phone is working now then there is nothing he can do" although he did offer to troubleshoot my issues?

Before switching to AT&T about two months ago I had Simple Mobile. The purpose of the switch was to reap the benefits of a contractual cell phone provider (preferably receive upgrades, insurance, iPhone 7Plus and to have successful phone conversations without technical problems). Due to the fact that I didn't have any failed calls while I was with Simple Mobile I figured switching to AT&T was a plus rather a negative because it's a well known, popular cell phone provider.
I specifically asked the rep upon purchase if the service was great (calls, internet- no unexpected failed calls while having important conversations) simply because I know me. I have VERY little patience with malfunctioning devices or horrible service. More the less, AT&T has failed to deliver awesome service. I almost HATE when I get a phone call because I know for a fact it will not last without failing. This is a major problem for me and the type of attitude I have.

AT&T completely screwed me over. They told me the promotion with DIRECTV would give all my devices including my phone unlimited data. Total for my phone, TV, and internet it should have cost me $210. Instead when the bill came it was $275 for the phone and $100 for DIRECTV. I called to sort it out. They told me that the unlimited data was just for wifi within the house and did not include the phones. But they switched my phones and tablets over to unlimited, thus the increase in price. I told them if I would have known that I would have never signed the contract. Customer service said, "So sorry so sad".
They told me the tablet they had sent me for free had a $50 activation fee. When I told them I get free activation because I am part of Madera Unified they gave me a credit toward my next bill. I told them I did not want my tablets on unlimited. They assured me they were not. However when my next bill came they were both on unlimited!! Customer service told me I should have done it online instead of over the phone. In addition when I first signed up for DIRECTV they told me I would get $300 in Visa Rewards. They sent me $100 right off. However I had to call twice to get the other $200 I was promised. I feel like they used false advertising to lock me in for two years. That frustration has not been resolved. I will be switching after this two-year contract is up!!!

So I moved to Minden La and my phone wasn't getting any service. We have DirecTV so the rep mentioned the mobile plan. Awesome!!! I had a ZTE and I was told that the Samsung Express 3 was similar to my current phone. Cool. I was there a day early... super excited... open it... Did not like the phone. My husband did. GREAT. I will just switch his service to AT&T as well.
So I go to the local store here in Minden La so I can get another phone now. They had a ZTE. Buy the plan. The phone is free. $45plan...14.99 case... I'm happy. 63.00 or so... I'm now an AT&T CUSTOMER. No more Metro!!! If you sign up for auto pay you get $5 off every money. SIGN ME UP!!! In the process of signing up for auto pay my card was charged for the next month. I did not want to pay for the next month being that I had just activated my phone today. I need that applied back to my account. The manager told me that there was nothing that they could do. I told his it has to be. I didn't authorize that payment. After me and the rep go back and forth for a while. Finally she decides to call customer service.
While I'm waiting, the manager walks around like I'm wrong for wanting to want my money refunded. He also asked me if I planned on being with them next month and if so why am I worried about the mistake. My reply, "Sir I live check to check... I have other bills to pay today and (I) will pay MY bill when its due!!!" We waited 20 minutes before the supervisor got on the phone... let the rep know that it was a malfunction and that a lot of people were having this problem. The rep was now relieved that it was not HER mistake. My money was returned the next day thank God. I has to pay a bill.
Anyway... a 20 phone activation turn into about an hour. I got nothing to recompensate my time or stress of this situation. The Minden La AT&T store is very unprofessional. Everyone was on their phones. I had to almost raise hell to get them to get on the phone to get my money refunded. And if the manager would of said "At least your bill is already paid for next month" one more time I would SCREAMED!!! I pay my own bills. You can't forcefully make me pay for a second month!!! I feel like your mistake... COMPENSATE!!! AND THIS IS MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF AT&T GO PHONE.

I had AT&T come out and install their services in my home on March 21, 2017. In the process of taking out my old cable box and installing the new box, the technician put two very noticeable gouges in my furniture. I reported it right away as the furniture was not even a year old yet. A few days later, their internet service was so bad, I had them come out and remove it from my home. I again spoke to the technician that came out, showed him the damage and he took pictures and said that he would send in a claim. He also gave me the phone number of someone I could call to follow up the next day. I called and again explained what happened.
After not hearing from them a few weeks later, I followed up again to see if anything was going to be done. They forwarded me to another department to make the claim that should have been made weeks earlier. Now, two months later, I get a phone call from AT&T letting me know that I owe them $18!!! For what??? For starters, I had the service in my home for three entire days and it was horrible. Secondly I am not paying them one penny since they damaged a brand new piece of furniture and seem to be completely ignoring the issue. Again, today I left a message with the claims department in an effort to get an answer in regards to my furniture and I get an answering machine. I am extremely disappointed with this company on so many levels.

Switched phones from Verizon to AT&T and it turned out I had no cell service in my house. Great! So they gave me a microcell to boost the signal. Works better but beeps a lot in the ear before you connect to the other person. I drove to Iowa and Idaho for work. 4 cities in Iowa had no service at ALL. Drove to Orofino Idaho and had service all the way (I Think) just using maps so not sure. When I got to Orofino at 11:30 at night looking for my crew and the Motel I had no service at ALL Again. I had to call my tech from the gas station. I was also getting texts from 2 different numbers but with the same content from one of the numbers before? Hard to explain my texts were getting blended together so I had to reset my phone to fix it.
DirecTV they lied to me on how the system would with 6 TV's only 4 work at the same time. I am paying for 2 extra boxes that may or may not work. I don't watch them all at once but when the Super Bowl was on and I had a party it was a problem. They said I could buy 2 more boxes for $99 to fix the issue. All equipment is covered except the wire and the dish. I had critters eat the cable and they wanted to charge $99 again to fix.
I decided to go with the monthly plan at $8 or $99 every time they come out. I had a channel in my package and they decided to remove it and move it to the next level so if I want back I pay more. Thanks for the JUNK system and customer service is always too nice but they never admit they are wrong and nothing gets corrected.

If I could give less than 1 star rating, I would. I've had nothing but trouble with my LG V10 battery life and freezing screens since I got the phone. I have made more than a dozen calls for this phone in the last 9 months. The last tech call I made the person was pretty nasty, discouraging using the insurance or warranty, failing to help resolve the issue, even telling me wrong information about the phone. I asked for a supervisor who went on and on for a long time with that stupid laugh-talk thing (Yes, HAHAHA, I know, Ann- HAHAHAHA, I've been there myself, HAHHAHA) He blamed the problem on an app, or a software glitch, or a this or a that- but never on a bad battery or something about the phone- made an appt with the local store, they said the battery was OK despite the phone sometimes getting so hot it burned your hand.
It drained approx 70% of its battery life overnight while sleeping. They said they wouldn't help with the reset that the guy before said it needed. I got so annoyed and fed up I decided to switch carriers despite us being not very far along in the installment plan. I called for the payoffs and the account number and was quoted the payoffs. I needed the final bill or amounts for the new carrier who agreed to pay that off. When I went into my account to look for the final bill about a week later, they had not made it yet but had a regular bill there, so I asked for the total payoff of what I owed. After being passed around several times and disconnected I finally got someone in "Loyalty" who insisted that I can't pay that off until; the next billing cycle a month later, even though they say you can pay the installments off at any time.
He even said that I was being dishonest for wanting to pay off my bill in entirety now instead of waiting for the final bill- which blew my mind entirely - I owe what I owe right now - no matter how many bills they want to slice it up into. I asked for a supervisor who got on the phone and said they could not do what I wanted to do without even a greeting. I told him all I want to do is pay your ** bill! Why is this so hard to understand? I don't have anywhere on this My ATT account to pay it! You closed everything off except the new bill you put out and that doesn't have the pay off for the installments! He said, "Oh, you can just pay it all off in the store and they'll give you a receipt". THANK YOU FINALLY - Also be aware that they do not prorate your final bill - we will be paying for a full month of service for only 1 and 1/2 days. Impression - if they know you're leaving them they will be as mean as they possibly can.

About a year go I switched from Verizon to ATT with that whole switcher program they were running. The worst decision I ever made. I only had one bar most of the time and it took forever for pages to load. Right from the beginning I ran into problems with the switcher program. I couldn't get any service at work where I spent most of my time. I dealt with they for a year and decided to switch back. The supervisor I spoke with in the beginning with the first set problems told me "pay the phone off and we will unlock it that day and you go where you want."
So last month I tried doing that but then I was told I had to wait two businesses days which put me into another billing cycle. They only gave part of the code I needed. Another day went by. I called them back up and that's when told me I needed the other part. I spent five days and 16 hours on the phone between ATT, Verizon and I even called Samsung themselves. Nobody could get it to work. I ported the # over on the third day and it still didn't work. I went without a phone for two days. I went back to Verizon with an old flip phone I found and put my # on that just so I could have a phone. I just got done paying ATT $400 to release my S7 and now I'm using a phone that ain't worth anything.
The last time I talked to ATT they told me it wasn't unlocked and I was telling them it was. I was fed up at this point and traded the phone in for the S8 Verizon. Now I have another payment plan that I didn't want. After all said and done they had the nerve to ask I wanted to sign up for DirecTV. NO THANKS. I will never deal with ATT services at any point in the future. With all the time I spent trying switch my phone over ATT wouldn't even credit my bill. Samsung didn't help much either because they didn't want to get involved. If you're thinking of ATT or any other carrier don't waste your time on the switcher program and think twice about ATT.

AT&T is by far the worse service provider I ever encountered. I am disgusted with the level of Tech support that is provided and incompetence of the representatives. My manager purchased an iPad Pro from the Apple Store to replace her old device. She wanted to transfer her profile/data plan over to her new device. She spent nearly 4 hours in Apple Store fighting with AT&T over the phone in order to make the transfer. The process was so ridiculously frustrating that she began to cry. It was a simple request that AT&T could not perform and the agents supplied her to incorrect information and could not locate her account. Later that day, I contacted AT&T on her behalf and I was met with the same opposition that I myself almost broke down. I was on the phone with multiple agents from 1:00 PM to a little bit after 4:00 pm.
3 hours and 10 representatives later by some miracle I got a representatives that was able to locate her account, help me through the transfer process and get her iPad up and running. The next day we received a call indicating that she needed to verify her information otherwise; her plan would be shut off (she verified her info the day before). I contacted the 800 and once again they could not locate her account, the information that they were able to pull up was not hers. I was bounded around to different departments and when I requested to speak to a manager the representatives told me no or disconnected the call. The process of transfer her data from one device to another was so cumbersome. I expected more from such a big company as AT&T. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth; I am extremely disappointed and would never recommend AT&T to anyone.

I then asked if my contract had expired which she stated that it had. My basic package and internet service was $ 150. I asked if they could do better, because I received offers for internet and DirecTV for $85, almost half of what I am currently paying. Having been a customer with AT&T you would think that they would like to keep me and offer the lower rate. Wrong, no such offer, fine print says new customers only.

I have been an AT&T customer for more than 10 years. I have 4 iPhones and 2 iPads on my account. I have not had any issues with AT&T thus far. I have been very happy with my service and coverage until last week. I had to use Asurion, the insurance company whom AT&T contracts to assist their consumer with insurance for their phones and pads. I used to buy Apple care for my phones before but in the last couple years we have been told by the sales rep at AT&T that Apple care was no longer an option and that the insurance plan was. I was fine with paying the monthly cost for insurance until the day I needed to use it. I contacted Asurion about a faulty iPhone, they sent info to replace the iPhone at no charge and stated it was covered under the warranty and that I would be getting another one.
Received the replacement iPhone and within a few months the same thing began to happen. This time we tried to correct the problem on our own because we were not sure that the insurance covered it again. I contacted Asurion and informed them what we did with the faulty phone which required a screen change and they advised to send the phone in. A week after the phone went to Asurion I received it back with a notice that I was being charged $599.99 for a voided warranty due to the screen change.
I am not only mad at Asurion but also with AT&T. They need to take responsibility for the insurance carrier who tell us consumers to purchase for safety, had lied and is ripping me off. I am now having to pay the $599.99 along with payments I am still making on the iPhone. But now I have one that is not working properly. This is ridiculous. I first paid a deductible, the voided amount of $599.99 plus the insurance I was told to buy along with the payment plan. We have about $100+ left to pay and with the replacement phone we now have paid $1700+ for a broken iPhone. AT&T state there is nothing they can do about the $599.99 charge as that is from Asurion but they could try and see if they could stop payments on the first iPhone. I think AT&T and Asurion is taking advantage of their loyal customer and I will be looking now to switch carriers and dispute charges which were not wrong.

My husband and I were AT&T customers for many years. When he died we had just bought four new cell phones. I paid off the contract over about 2 years. I then purchased a new cell phone at which time they required me to put the services in my name (I had previously brought in my husband's death certificate and they looked at it but did not say anything about changing the account to my name, possibly because they wanted me to pay off the old contract in my husband's name). I had paid my bill at the first of that month. Nothing was said about my rates changing so I was shocked when my services were cut off for non- payment a few weeks later.
I was taking my child to the doctor and could not call in to tell my boss why I was not coming in. The AT&T recorded message informed me that I needed to pay approximately $1,000 to get my services restored. I had to go into the store where I was told that the bill was for late fees, new service connection fees, service restoration fees, plus my new monthly rate of about $500 (my old fee was $177 and I was not told my rate would change when I bought the new phone). The explanation was that I was a "new customer" because the account was changed to my name even though my husband and I had been with AT&T for many years and I had honored the old contract by paying it off with their knowledge, and that my previous payment had been mailed back to me.
After 2 hours in the store I was finally given a deal in which some of the connection and late fees were taken off and my bill was lowered to about $450. Over time I was able to get a couple of more discounts but I still pay over double my old contract. With my landline and internet (I must have have land line due to almost no cell signal at my home even with a 2 wire box) my bill is still over $500. I am a widow on Social Security and two minor children to support. I do not believe that widows and widowers should be treated as "new customers" when we have jointly paid AT&T for many years. It was also dishonest of AT&T to not advise me that my rate was going to more than double at the time of my purchase. AT&T's treatment of me as a widow is despicable!

A month ago, I called up AT&T. I was looking for a better package than what I had with Comcast for internet/TV. I already had AT&T Wireless, so I wanted to see if bundling would give me a better deal. The salesperson offered a bundle package - my existing AT&T Wireless with Unlimited Plus monthly plan with AT&T GigaPower internet + U-verse 300 package with HBO, all combined for $165, no activation fees. HBO was a package with the Unlimited Plus. He specifically said that all activation fees will be waived because of the bundle, and there is no contract. Then he said, they are running a free promotion of Samsung Galaxy Tab E, and I could add that to the bundle for just $10/month, but for being on auto pay, I will get that $10 off. So I agreed for all that.
Then all the problems started. First, they sent AT&T Trek device instead of the Samsung Tab E. I called them, and they said go to the store. I went to their store, and they said, "We can't exchange this, you have to ship it back, and we can give you the exchanged device over here." So I got the Samsung Tab E, and I shipped back the Trek using their return label with USPS. Now they are charging me for both those devices, and I don't even have both devices. I have the USPS confirmation that the device was collected by AT&T returns agent. Then the TV installation happened, and the package was just a basic package. So I called to confirm the amount and package. The phone agent confirmed the $165 for wireless+internet+TV+tablet and fixed the issue with the TV programming. So I started receiving the channels properly.
Then I saw on the myAT&T app that the bill/package amount was not right. And I called them, because I wanted to cancel because I was still within the 30 days. And they said, it's still going through their combined billing team. Ignore what the app says. Rest assured, everything is setup correctly. Our app often shows the wrong information, it will get corrected once the first bill is generated. And if it is not, just call us, and we will fix it. Enjoy the weekend, don't worry. Spend time with the family, and all. So I thought, well, this is a nice company.
Now, after a month, I see the bill for $600!!! I called AT&T again today, and now they are saying that there is no $165 plan documented. I asked them to pull up the previous calls, and they won't. Saying it's a different department. I asked for a supervisor, and they just made me wait indefinitely. I asked to transfer to their Complaints Department and they won't.
In between all this, I have had to spend 10 hours of frustration having to call AT&T multiple times, waiting on their automated machine, then their transferring between so many groups - mobile, U-verse, billing, combined billing, etc. This is the worst customer experience ever. And it's a ripoff!!! Another person in my neighborhood had said the same thing about AT&T a few weeks ago on Nextdoor, that they are running a ripoff scheme, and I did not believe thinking it is a large and respectable company. But something is seriously going on here, that needs major investigation.

In addition, I was instructed by AT&T to take my LG tablet in and if it cannot be repaired they decentralized location would replace it. I took it there and Dwayne stated they did not have anymore LG and gave me a Samsung in it place. When I got my bill, Dwayne had broken my 2 year contract with AT&T and I was charge $150.00 for breaking contract, +$45.00 activation fee for my already existing iPhone 6, and for what was replacing a tablet.
It is worth noting that when I contacted AT&T, they were adamant that I broke my contract. I never miss patents since the 90s and had no idea what occurred, my word, my truth did not mean a damn thing. The reps with AT&T were belligerent and insidious. More importantly, my bill went from $203/month to $725.00. I'm sharing this experience with you to make you aware that the customer service reps at this store in Durham or worse than drug dealers.

I started all over again and finally asked for a supervisor. I am pretty sure the "supervisor" was one of the many reps that I had already talked to already. She personally escorted my call to a billing rep. That person asked me the same questions that the other 7 people had asked me. I told her to please call me back if we were to get disconnected and she said of course. Then after giving her said information, my call was disconnected. Did she call me back... NO! This company is a joke - an actual joke. They make their money and they know they do not have to have good customer service because you are locked into a contract. So you can kiss their ass if you don't like it. I cannot wait until my time is up with them. I will never ever ever give them my business and will let every person I know know about my experience. And btw, you can tell by the very similar posts here that no one cares.

I have been a customer with AT&T since it was still Cingular. I always had an unlimited data plan that even after they no longer offered unlimited, I was grandfathered to the plan. I held on to that plan until February this year. I called AT&T asking about their new unlimited plan. I even asked specifically if I can keep my corporate discount from Tupperware if I switch over. I was assured by the rep that I spoke to that my corporate discount will be honored even after I switch my plan and my kids to the new unlimited plan. I specifically explained to her that if she cannot honor the discount, that I refused to let go of my grandfather unlimited data. After reassurance from her (And she was so nice and polite) that I can keep the discount, I agreed to change my grandfather unlimited data to the new unlimited data plan they were offering.
I never look at any of my bills since I have auto debit for my bill. I decided to check my bill out since I noticed that my bill is getting higher every month. I noticed that I lost my corporate discount and the only discount I was receiving was $10 for having paperless billing and auto pay (I was aware of this discount since it was explained to me in February). I called AT&T and spoke to a Justin. He explained to me that I can no longer get my discount since the Unlimited plan no longer honor any corporate discount. I explained to him how I have been a customer for years and that I pay over $200 for my bill. He insist that there is nothing he can do and that my phone call will be escalated to a person higher than him.
I spoke to a lady (Forgot her name) and even she refused to help me with my situation. I felt like they do no care about their customer and they only care about the money. They do not even honor the loyalty of a customer who have been with their company for more than 15 years. I am even a DirecTV customer and now I am so turned off by their lack of sympathy or understanding. She totally dismissed any thoughts of helping me or making my situation better. I am so disappointed with them that I feel like looking for a new phone company for my business and telling everyone (Friends and families) that are AT&T customer to switch to a new company.
I believe that this company should be investigated for lying and deceiving all their customers. I believe that I am not the only person they have cheated and lied to. The public should be aware of how they talk to people to become a customer and once you are in, they can do whatever they want even not honoring what was said and just use the excuse that they need to train their customer service better. Also, any future changes on billing like honoring or not discounts should be told and put in writing so this never happens again to anyone. I have 4 lines with them (3 mobile and 1 iPad) and DirecTV for my home.

I want to start that I gave a one star because it is impossible to give a zero star review. I got a call one day from an AT&T representative that I was qualified for a bundle that included cable with the premium movie channels, unlimited phone calling globally, and internet service at 60 mbps at $72 for 2 years. I had my appointment to receive and get the services installed on April 27, 2017, but only the DirecTV cable came and the AT&T representative told us they were booked and they rescheduled us for May 3, 2017. We agreed to that.
A couple of days later we received a letter from AT&T that we were going to pay $125 a month for the bundle. I called and asked what was going on and the representative told me that the first month it was $160, second month $125 and then after that, it was going to be $85 a month not the $72. They also informed me that cable only included the premium channels for three months, there were going to be extra charges on call to cell phones, and the internet service was only 18 mbps. Having heard this I wanted to cancel my bundle right away but there was a problem. The DirecTV was already in motion and I would have to pay a fine of $20 a month which would equate to $480 about half of the 24 months years worth.
They did tell us that they could cancel the phone and internet service, which I did. Now I am stuck with a crappy cable service for $40 month for 24 months. If anyone in here receives an offer for whatever service, bundle, or programming please make sure it was the representative said it is before you fall into the 2 year contract, crazy cancellation fees, and overall bad services. Find a company that does not have a contract based service which will allow you to opt out of that service when you want to. I cannot stress enough how misguided and with how much false advertisement they tricked me into this horrendous deal.

I don't normally write negative reviews, however, my experience with AT&T has been beyond frustrating and is now hurting my credit!!! I contacted AT&T to get DSL installed and I had to sign up for the package that includes a phone line. The installer came to hook it up and left without installing anything and without any real explanation, saying I would have to call customer service. I did and they informed me that DSL is not available in my area. I said, "Okay but I won't be billed for anything, correct?" The customer service rep said that I would not.
Lo and behold 6 months later I get a call from a collection agency... I was never sent a bill but now I'm in collections. I've called them multiple times to dispute, they say that somebody would contact me... Never happened. Now, they have sent it to the credit bureaus and are affecting my credit. This is unbelievable!! I will NEVER use AT&T again and I will be telling everybody I know my horrible experience. This doesn't even mention the nightmare I've had to deal with my wireless bills. AT&T have friendly customer service reps and good mobile coverage... but that does not make up for the disorganized and ultimately unhelpful service. I would rather deal with Sprint's iffy coverage than ever go through this frustration again.

I have been dealing with this company for years. I have always had issues with them and should have left them a long time ago. Recently I was late returning a phone through warranty. For that, they charged me for the phone 589.00. I have paid over 800.00 in April alone for my family's phone bill. They applied that to the charges for the phone even though it was in dispute. They turned my phone off over this. I tracked the phone and it showed it as being delivered on Monday after I sent it off. I reached a chat agent and they turned it back on and told me that the charges would be removed and I would not be turned off again. On the following Thursday, without warning, phones were off again. Friday chat agent had the phones back on and promised they would not be off again. Charges would be removed in 2 business days... Monday afternoon while I am out of town, phones are turned off again without warning.
As I talk to an agent AGAIN, they say that the phone (warranty return) has not been received when I have been told by other agents that it was in fact there. Several claims have been filed to dispute this charge, but it is still there. I have the tracking number showing that they have it, yet they want to deny my claim. I am about to go with another company. I have had it with AT&T.

I've been with AT&T for over 8 years so imagine what they will do to new customers. They have a loyalty department which is a complete joke. So my plan was up. I decided to call and order a new phone with a new plan. The rep told me the cheapest plan that I'm looking for is 153 after taxes. But if I want I can get a free phone and another line for only 20 more. I said that's fine.
A month later my bill is 354. I called and the rep tells me he made a mistake. He fixes it and my bill is now 194. I said the guy told me it would only be 173 after taxes that's why I agreed to this. I can't pay 194. She transfers me to loyalty department. There was loud noise in background. A party was happening and could barely hear the guy. I told him I never agreed to 194 dollar bill and wanted to return the other phone. I never used it. He said I can't. It's past 2 weeks. I said, "Well how am I supposed to know. My bill didn't come till now." He said there's nothing he can do...
Oh and by the way the rep I talked to after this purchase said I could have gotten what I originally wanted for a little over a 100 NOT 153. I'm so done with them. I'm even considering paying off both phones and going elsewhere. CROOKS is what they are. Bait and switched me and there's nothing I can do about it. Can't even explain in words how stressed I am about this. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T. TRUST ME, this is coming from an 8 year customer. Can't wait to leave them.

I have been with AT&T for my cell service for the past 15 years. In the last two years I have encountered the worst customer service any company that I have ever dealt with to this point. Not only did I use them for U-verse television services but the combination of television and cellphone have nearly driven me crazy. It would take too much time to go into great detail but I have to say that my phone call I've just an hour ago was my very worst yet. The lady that answered the telephone began to treat me in a racist tone within the first minute on the phone with her. It is rare that I ever have trouble with racism eyes are being treated racist or treating anyone that way. This woman when I asked her what was wrong, how do I upset her, she began to be silent only answering in as few words as possible to anything that I ask her. She was purposely quiet.
When I try to get some information about my billing she was very short and curt and to almost every question I ask she was there I don't know. This was the worst customer service experience yet but AT&T has been getting worse and worse over the last two years. I have found that no matter what happens on a phone call with the folks at AT&T, they are not held accountable for anything they say or do. You'll find out that you are held accountable for everything you do but the operators at AT&T do not have to answer for their behavior. Just try and hold someone accountable or just try to find a supervisor who will hold them accountable. Good luck! Supervisor stick up for their employees no matter how rude they are to you. I could give you some horror stories between customer service and myself just since December 2016.
Folks, AT&T as well as many other companies need to be held accountable for their actions. Somehow we need to cause backlash to occur until such a time when we get the customer service we deserve as consumers. Being treated terribly on the telephone should never happen especially since you are purchasing their product, but again the problem is that customer relations have gone downhill and no one is having to answer for their bad service. AT&T is just a long list of companies doing this today but in my experience to this date they are the worst.

Reasons not to do business with AT&T Mobility! First AT&T will quote you one price for their services then gradually over time increase your bill. Second getting good customer service is next to impossible. When you get ready to leave and they are requested to unlock your devices, it is next to impossible as well! I called them at least 7 times in order to accomplish that and it was only accomplished when I went to the Metro PCS store with their help. Their network isn't all they proclaim it to be, my coverage is better now and I get three times the data, unlimited calling, and texting for less than half of what AT&T charged. Because I wrote them a bad review before they have tried to stick it to me on my final bill. Well they better enjoy the money because they will never see another dime from me. Lastly, have they ever severed their relationship with the 1-900 porn call industry. Just wondering if any Christian should do business with them.

For starters, you wait a minimum of about a half hour on the line to get a customer representative who will provide you with information that may or may not be accurate. Today, I had to unfortunately contact them regarding a dispute with my bill, where I had to get a credit of $112.00 due to a replacement device I had return to Assurance, AT&T's Insurance Company several weeks ago. Assurance said that it will take a couple of days for the credit to be reflected, today I call AT&T I was told something different, that I had to wait because the credit still pending.
Unhappy with the response from Joy in Indiana office I asked for a manager. Joy said they were several yet no one wanted or desire to come to the phone to address my complaint and fix the issue. This is the last straw that broke the camel's back. I am looking into other cell phone companies, there is too much competition out there for me to continue to feel dissatisfied. I am not in the habit of writing reviews, but I could not longer pass my feeling for this company.

This is not the only issue. Back last year they had an offer buy one phone get one free. I bought 2 phones and I paid fully for one phone. They still charge me for 2 phone payments as they claim they can not find the payment even after giving them a copy from my credit card statement. It's an awful experience that I do. It want anyone to go through. We have a business account with T-Mobile and really we never had any billing issues. Customers be aware. Do not fall into the trap of financing or upgrading through AT&T. I lost many thousands of dollars with them. I can not get any higher supervisor to help me. I spoke to George ** employer ID ** today and he told me that no one is available or can change the fact that I have to wait 3 billing cycles to get my credit that I was suppose to get last October 2016.

So for the rest of that day, they continued to send me 1 GB every fifteen minutes.They ran my bill up, to over a thousand dollars.

Like many others in these posts, we were promised 'high speed internet' with DSL, the only option (except satellite which I am researching now). AT&T has no physical customer service location for their internet service here. We are rural but not way out there and have neighbors also dealing with the terrible internet connection affecting their children's school work, etc. I work from home and need internet that does not keep disconnecting every few minutes. Numerous technicians have been here in the short 3 months when we purchased the home (oh, and was told by the sellers - no issues here - ya, right). So we are told by each that DSL is going away and no one knows what or if they will install U-verse here. Comcast service ends just a few streets over and has no service here.
Calling the AT&T customer service is agonizing to say the least. All I can say is the government should outlaw these companies rules, services and fees as much as they have the mortgage industry! So many unhappy people dealing with this!! And same issue with billing - always WRONG!!! Different story every time you call. I have to end now as service may disconnect.

The store manager who told me to wait 30 days told me that they never added the insurance again and he was calling his manager to see if they can help me. Yet he knew from get Go that they cannot add insurance to an old phone. It will look like fraud.
What pissed me off is not able to tell me the truth and acted as if he is helping me when he was doing nothing for me. It's been more than 20 days since Angel the store manager promised me to call me with a feedback.

Attempted to upgrade a device at the S. Arlington RD store in Akron OH on 4-22-17. The entire transaction was messed up from start to finish. First Jessica said the order was placed. I gave her my credit card to pay the taxes. Jessica then said the order did not go through and she went to the back of the store and was going to give me the phone and I could ship it to my daughter in Florida. I had to ship it because it was not recognizing my daughter's address for some reason. Jessica even googled my daughter's address and it was there! When Jessica came out of the back room with the phone she looked at her computer and told me the transaction went through and the phone would be shipped to my house. Jessica said I would be getting an email regarding the purchase. Keep in mind I got NO paperwork or credit card receipt.
By Tuesday 4-25-17 I had no email from AT&T and I became concerned. I looked on my AT&T account online and nothing! I called and spoke to a David and he confirmed my findings. NOTHING!!! I then called the Arlington Rd store and spoke to Zach the store manager. I told him what happened and he said come in and get the phone. I arrived at the store and Jessica began to attempt the order again. When she looked at my account the bill was now due and unless I paid my bill I can't get the phone. Now when I originally attempted to get the phone my bill was not due. They messed up the order not me and I told Zach just that. He told me "Pay your bill" and I said "No give me the phone that I originally ordered on Saturday." Zach told me that he is a manager and even he cannot upgrade unless his phone bill is paid. I stood my ground and I admit even calling Zach an ** because he is one!
I attempted to explain to Zach that I even spoke to a David at AT&T who told me what I found out that NO order was ever placed. Zach actually said that David did not know what he was doing and that their computer said the transaction occurred. Zach then said there was a computer glitch. I said you are actually saying that someone at your company doesn't know what they are doing! I told Zach "Fine I will pay the bill but I want you to waive the fees." His response to me was "Donald Trump doesn't have to pay taxes but we do." I walked out of the store. I then called AT&T and spoke to a young man named Daniel. He listened to my story with compassion and agreed I was mistreated. Daniel transferred me to a lady named Hara. I had to tell my story yet again. By this time I was so upset and angry I could barely speak. Hara said she would call me back with some sort of resolution on 4-26-17 at 2 pm.
Guess what??? No phone call from Hara.

She said that will not be an issue and that AT&T has a Switcher program that refund me the difference for up to 650 dollars per phone (for up to 2 phones)... then she said that I have to add another line in order for this work, so she ordered me a flip phone for $2.50 a month for 24 months. She also sent me an iPhone 7 as part of the promotion. I got an text message to confirm on what I ordered. And I reply back... The issue here is that I have issues with my vision and I can't really read the text messages that we sent to me... I guess that is my first mistake.
I went down to AT&T store when I got the iPhone and they converted my smartphones to AT&T by using their SMS card... well what should have happened they should have traded in my cell phones for AT&T phone. I asked when will I get refunded for my phones, AT&T said "as soon as you get the final bill from Verizon." 6 weeks later I get my final bill and I called AT&T to see how do I get my refund... They said I don't qualify for the Switcher program, I needed to do this within 30 days when I first became an AT&T customer. So now I owe 900 dollars to Verizon just for switching over to AT&T. I missed the deadline by 2 weeks. I wasn't told that I needed to do this by the person I spoke to on the phone, and I see this in the text message, and the guys at the AT&T store didn't mention it to me when I came in.

For over a month now my husband has been battling AT&T to set up internet and home phone service. It has thus far been nothing but a nightmare!! We live in a burb of Austin and have had Suddenlink for several years. However, their service for internet, cable TV and home phone has been very poor, dropping out all of the time. We have complained to Suddenlink constantly but nothing has ever improved. We can only get Suddenlink or AT&T in this community. A little over one year ago AT&T came into our neighborhood and buried fiber optic lines. I watched from my desk here, in front of my home office window, while they ripped up the grass in our front yard and buried the fiber optic cable. Later on they did come back by and put down new grass sod to cover the mess.
Then, over a month ago, my husband decided to switch from Suddenlink to AT&T as he felt we would get better internet and other services using the newly buried fiber optic cable versus the copper. This is when the nightmare started... we were told they could not give us an installation date until two weeks later. Then someone called from AT&T and instead of getting the regular U-verse service for TV from AT&T, they talked him into getting DirecTV instead. So then we were given an installation date for DirecTV which was also a week or more out. Last week the technician for DirecTV came and installed the service. He was great, did his job well, and we have had no complaints so far with the TV service from DirecTV. However, in the meantime, AT&T sent out people to dig a trench in the backyard and ran cable outside the fence (we live on a corner). That was maybe three weeks ago.
So when the first technician finally came to install the internet and phone service, his work order read to use "copper". Keep in mind my husband first asked for AT&T service in March. My husband explained no, he wanted to use the fiber optic that AT&T buried here over a year ago. So then the technician said he could not do that, he could only install copper as on his work order. So my husband then took the tech outside and showed him where there is fiber optic here already. The technician so noted this and said my husband would have to contact AT&T to get a new service installation date. So my husband did this, explained the problem and was told it would be taken care of but their records currently do not show fiber optic in this area! But the technician verified, to my husband, that yes, it is here. So we were given a new installation date for April 17th.
Second technician came and once again, his work order showed copper. And once again, 2nd tech said he could not install fiber optic as none here. So my husband showed this 2nd tech that fiber optic is here and the technician said well he knows it is here but the work order shows copper. It seems, after over a year, AT & T has "still" not updated their records showing fiber optic is here! So, for a third time my husband had to call in (also a nightmare) for a "third" installation date, which was today, April 25th and guess what? Yep, third technician cannot install fiber optic hook up because the work order, for a third time, shows copper. But at least this technician explained that he knows there is fiber optic here but it is across the street and even though we have the fiber optic buried in our own front yard, it can't be hooked up to that point... it has to be hooked up to another point across our side street.
But for some reason, in order to get the fiber optic hooked up here, they also have to still run copper to the main cable box inside the house, which in this area, the boxes are located in the master bedroom closets (terrible idea which I personally hate). And in order to get the copper to the main cable box, they will have to drill a hole into the side of our house and put some other kind of a box on the floor in our kitchen breakfast room area!
I have tried to tell my husband that all of this hassle with AT&T, just trying to get installation is ridiculous and that he should just drop it and stay with poor service Suddenlink. I keep thinking that with the nightmare service we've experienced from AT&T thus far, it just isn't worth all the trouble. But my husband is stubborn and still wants to stick with the AT&T installation. I don't especially want a hole (even if it small) drilled through the side of the house and I especially don't want some kind of a box sitting on the floor in the breakfast room! Also, my husband had numerous heated discussions with AT&T people via telephone. They keep connecting him to wrong departments, put him on terminal holds, cut him off, people who say they will call back have never once done so, no one at AT&T will help clean up their erroneous records and on and on. I, personally, will never recommend AT&T service to anyone!
I just wish I had found this site sooner so I could have seen all of the many, many bad reviews about AT&T. The third technician with a work order for copper has now left, my five cats and dog have all now come out from under the beds (for some reason they always hide when strangers come into the house) and my husband is still waiting for a call back from AT&T (which I feel certain will never come). So then he can now spend the rest of the day on the phone trying to get service and an installation date from AT&T, a fourth installation date no less. Reading reviews like this about lousy service from AT&T makes it obvious that the AT&T people never bother to read the reviews nor do they ever bother to improve their rotten service! I am posting this review because I am hoping that other people will read it here, before they decide on asking for AT&T bundled services for the home.

They said, all we would need to do is pay 40 dollars to have international unlimited calls and texts (on top of our already 160+ phone bill every month). Somehow that turned into, 40 dollars a month and we'll only charge you 1 dollar per minute (which notified me after racking up 250 USD in international fees), but you can have unlimited texts. Now here I sit, in a foreign country, far from my family without an afraid to use my phone because this company LOVES to rip people off.
When my husband and I called (each separately) we spoke with three different people. All three of which informed of how the plan works differently. 1 person informed him that it is true that I would have unlimited talk and text (that not being the person who originally told him that it would be unlimited talk and text) and that I wouldn't receive additional charges unless I went over on my 200 GB of data.
One of the persons that I spoke with said that if I went above 250 minutes then it would be an additional 1 per minute. The last person I spoke with said that there are no free minutes that each minute is a dollar a minute. So 40 dollars a month AND a dollar a minute in additional to the regular phone plan. How is it that three people, within a matter of minutes, informed of three ENTIRELY different things!? Because they are sheisty. Worst company. Thank you for the 500+ dollar phone bill AT&T! You really know how to keep your customers satisfied!!!

An AT&T store agent offered me a free iPhone. All the paperwork was done. A month later, the billing showed me paying $61.67 but no offsetting credit. I called and was asked to wait until the third billing period and I would get credit for all three months. After two more visits to the store and calling the supervisor of the billing department, I was told that my promotion wasn't valid so I had to pay the full $650 for the phone. I asked what protection a consumer had from an agent who gave an offer which was then found to be invalid. They kept saying that there was no promotion for me changing from one carrier to AT&T so there would be no credit. Never was the issue of the promise of the agent to me and the inconvenience for me having to find out what the problem with the billing was brought up by the supervisors or the managers. I think this is a grossly unfair treatment without any admission of wrongdoing.

In Feb I broke my phone that I had insured. I called ATT and they directed me to the insurance dept. They sent me a refurb phone overnight. All was well for a few days and then that phone locked itself up in safe mode. After hours (and I do mean hours) on the phone they sent me another phone overnight. I got that phone and it would not transfer my files because they sent me a 32G and mine was a 64G. Again, I called ATT and after hours on the phone consisting of numerous calls they sent me another phone. Again, I had to travel to an ATT store to get help transferring my data. Got it done and then out of the blue my phone was suspended. I called from my car phone and found that they had disconnected me because the phone I was using was stolen. Keep in mind they are the ones that sent it to me.
Again, I call. I spend over an hour only to get transferred unsuccessfully. Later in the day I went back to my car and tried again. Won't even go into detail on that call. This morning I called and decided to just bite the bullet and buy an new phone. Got a real nice lady and she was going to help me and get me a new phone for only $38. Well it was $38 and then $82. I agreed to pay it just to have this over. The lady sent me the terms and agreements and of course it was wrong. She was going to get the insurance people on the line and get my money back. "Hold one moment and I am going to get this fixed for you." Well she transferred me to the tech department and she was gone. Tech couldn't help me and now I can't even get my new phone because the terms and conditions have a mistake on them. I am at my wit's end.

I have been with AT&T for 9 years and I got an upgrade to my iPad! I paid for the Apple iPad Pro 3 months ago and they won't ship it to me! I did the terms and conditions and it will be 4 months according to them! Every time I call they lie to me and they won't tell me why they won't ship it! They say it was shipped but it is not! I call 10 times a day and they keep lying to me! I cancelled today and they threatened me with collection! I paid for my item!

I have AT&T and DirecTV and I thought one doing them together would save me money but my phone bill just steadily goes up and up and up. Every time I speak to someone they tell me something different on the hidden charges. You would think that a company that you've been with for so long will cut you a break but they just steadily hit you with charges. One customer agent says one thing and another customer agent says another. I've been over pain for a cell phone with them for several years. If you have a family this is not the company for you if you want to continue feeding your kids!

AT&T was taking my phone back due to an internal failure. The phone got terrible service and that was great. They give you a little cardboard sleeve to put the phone in when returning it. In transition the screen broke and now they are charging me 600.00 for the phone. Customer service, the warranty dept and customer relations dept will do nothing to help you. I've been with AT&T for 10 years. Their customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. I will be taking my service to another carrier. Thank you so much for all the help AT&T.

Please sign and share my Petition addressed to Randall Stephenson CEO at AT&T. I was promised a new phone but sent a damaged, used phone and they are insisting it was new... LIARS! I'm being charged an upgrade fee for junk and late fees every month because I won't pay the upgrade fee. My bill has now doubled due to these fees incurring month and they constantly threaten to suspend my service. I have had it! I tried for months to correct their mistake to no avail. Customer service is HORRIBLE.

I have been a GoPhone customer for years. So when I started my new job and saw that I got a discount, I switched to postpaid with my cellphone that was paid off. Ending up selling that cell but still kept the sim and put it in another phone I had laying around. Long story short I decided to get the S8 plus so I put in a preorder and it went through.
Next day it was canceled. So I go to an ATT store and they accused me fraud and told me to go look for service elsewhere. Needless to say they terminated my account. So I call the fraud dept this morning and explain the situation, at which the lady tells me that I can get my account reinstated. I just would have to have two forms of ID. So I drive 30 plus miles today to another ATT store (who by the way were very kind and had good customer service). I was at that store for 2 hours. They had to call the fraud department back. This time the lady refuses to reinstate my service even after the rep told her it was in my files that it was supposed to be reinstated. At this point I'm steaming mad because I wasted 2 hours of my time and gas for basically nothing. I wish someone would have informed me that my services couldn't be reinstated. That way I could have save myself and the rep that time that could have been dedicated to someone else.

Worst company ever! My fiance is in basic and has no access to phone and can't add me as an authorized user to pick up in store order. Since they decided to cancel the first order he made over the phone for delivery to my home without reason. Spoke with someone on the chat and they said I was added and could go get the order. Went to the store to get order and they said I wasn't added and can't get the order. They want him to call to verify but he doesn't have access to a phone and won't have access until I drive down to see him in a few weeks. Your customer service is ** and are flat out liars. What good is your customer service if you can't actually help and you want to give people the runaround!

AT&T has cancelled two orders now. Hung up on me once... Lied to me multiple times. You guys are doing a wonderful job at driving your business into the ground. I've been a loyal customer and you treated me lower than such. You guys are manipulative and wrong.

Was supposed to switch Internet & Phones to AT&T on Monday. Tech stayed until 7:30 PM on Monday but 2 phone lines & FAX line along with line rollover were not working. Called AT&T on Tuesday & another tech came on Wednesday. This tech said that phones were not compatible even though we had AT&T service for 10 years before 2013. Tech had me call AT&T office and now they are telling me that it will be another 5-7 days to get phones & FAX back on line and that this is escalated from normal. What a joke with these guys--NEVER AGAIN.

Never Ever use AT&T! They have absolutely the worst customer service in the whole wide world. I had my internet service cut off because they failed to credit a phone I returned. I wouldn't pay the bill until the credit was applied. It took me months to get them to resolve it and HOURs AND HOURS On hold trying to fix THEIR error. I ended up paying $300 for service I did not get just to SAVE my credit. Everyone I have talked to says AT&T is the worst company they have ever done business with. Don't go down the rabbit hole because you will be VERY sorry. They are too big to fight and VERY greedy bloodsuckers.
