    I have had problems for the entire year of service. The wireless home phone has had static the whole time & I have had 4 visits to my home to get the internet to work. I have never been able to get the printer to work with the wireless internet. When you call customer service, no one wants to help or even care. After holding

    for 15 min, they offer no solutions & make no notes on your account when you call. I spent good money to buy their equipment which is of no good to me now. I will share my experience with everyone, so they don't get taken too.

    When I switched from another company to at&t two months ago they charged my credit card twice for the same thing. When I noticed the charge I called the company. But as usual no answer only automated system. I went back to the store and they emailed the company. And they said that they would use the extra charges for the following month's bill. But this month they charged my card again. I went back to the store and they are giving me the same crap that they will not charge me the next month. How will I believe them if they already robbed me? They don't want to return the money. They are a bunch of thieves.

    Been an AT&T customer for over 1 year. Paid all bills on time. Went to sign up for service at a 2nd location and they wanted a background check on me. Refused and told them to turn off the primary account service. They are scheduling 12 hour appointments and not showing up (happened 3 times=36 hours wasted of my time waiting for their install tech). They are continuously lying on the phone, not sending service confirmation emails are the tip-off that they have no intention of showing up to scheduled appointments (leave no paper trail philosophy).

    At AT&T, here's what to expect: Fraudulent billing practices, tell you didn’t receive payment on time forcing consumer to call them whereby they want to sell other services. Scheduling appointments they have no intention of showing up to. Hazing customers, reneging on commitments, "deals" and contracts. Throttling service, forcing consumers to speeds so slow that internet is virtually so slow it's not possible to conduct business, not communicate effectively. Watch them ruin your business. Complaints to BBB & FCC go completely ignored = corrupt balance of power.

    Recommendations: File lawsuits, keep evidence on AT&T's practices. Get every appointment, conversation, change on account in writing, give them no warning and file civil complaints no matter how small their mistake, oversight or error. Join consumer class actions to force the govt. to change AT&T's total practices and open up home internet and phone service to additional providers to create competition to this dinosaur which is ruining American businesses by slowing speeds so slow that people begin to lose money, time and life.

    My fiancé and I, after paying a bill in full at the beginning of September, we decided to try to get DirecTV and combine it with our wireless, since there was a discount by doing so and already being an AT&T customer. On September 12th, we put in the order and on September 15th, DirecTV came out to try and install. When they arrived, the installation couldn't happen because of a tree in the way and we live in a trailer, which meant our roof wasn't at the right angle that was needed for the installation. We didn't even sign a equipment lease agreement since they couldn't install it. We had no equipment. Before they came out, I went into my fiancé's account (since I have access to the information on my AT&T app) and combined the two bills (wireless & DirecTV) as suggested. We didn't know this was gonna cause us issue in the long run.

    Because they couldn't hook anything up, they said we wouldn't be charged. And we shouldn't have been charged anyway since we were told while putting in the order that the installation would be free. The guy said he'd cancel the service for us. He didn't. So we called customer service and we're on the phone for about an hour trying to figure out what was going on. My fiancé doesn't have a whole lot of patience when it comes to the runaround. Neither do I. They kept transferring us to different departments, first saying it was DirecTV's issue so they transferred us to AT&T Uverse. Then back to wireless, saying there was nothing they could do, or that they didn't know what was going on.

    Our AT&T app was clearly showing us our unified bill (the combined bills). So in the process of talking to customer service for an hour, we were on hold for 45 minutes of that hour, and got nowhere. We then decided to go into the AT&T store and see what they could help us with...and in the past they'd normally tell us to call customer service, because the AT&T store usually only deals with phones and sales. That one time the guy was more than happy to call customer service for us. He got a hold of the unified billing department and explained our situation to them. They needed my fiancé's authorization to un-unify our account, so my fiancé got on the phone and gave them the information they needed. They said un-unifying it would take at least 2 billing cycles and then we should see a change on our account.

    Not too long after, maybe a few days later, we noticed on our unified account that we were being billed $173.44 (which is a normal bill for us) due on October 29th., with $55.70 being past due, when our bills aren't usually due until the 1st. of the month. Without realizing it, we thought this was our normal wireless bill and paid $90.00 on it within a two week period and then only owed $83.44 to finish it off. We paid the $90.00 before the due date, and then we got another bill for $102.00 due on November 6th, which was just yesterday. We paid $50.00 on that last weekend to catch that up a bit, but in the process of this, knowing we had 2 bills through AT&T alone, due one week apart, we called customer service again, and it was way more than we pay for one billing cycle. Overall, $275, and our bill is only supposed to email $173 per month.

    On the phone with customer service, they were only seeing the $102 and said our account wasn't unified anymore, and that we shouldn't owe anything other than the $102. On our end, on the other hand, we weren't seeing the $102, ONLY the remaining balance of the bill that was due on October 29th. for $83.44. We still kept getting the runaround for this. So we decided, even though money was and IS tight, we were gonna pay up the $83.44 AND the $52 of the $102 that we still owed for the wireless (due Nov. 6) and be done with it so we wouldn't owe anything again until the next month. We just did this since we had the money and it's ridiculous. Our AT&T app still shows the unified bill but now says $0.00 and still says, "Account is cancelled."

    My advice to all of you. NO MATTER HOW MUCH AT&T SAYS YOU'LL SAVE, DON'T COMBINE YOUR BILLS WITH OTHER SERVICES. You'll end up paying out more a month than you can afford. It's not worth it.

    I moved to the Atlanta area in 2013 and, of course, continued my business with AT&T. In addition to bundling with DirecTV, I ordered online an AT&T smart phone because the ad said it came with GPS capabilities. It did not. They didn't tell me that GPS requires an extra connection and charge. Besides that disappointment, I couldn't get the hang of using the phone. I'm in my 80s and there's just so much technology I can understand. I paid for a phone I couldn't use for a whole year, and then tried to get out of the second year since I'm on a fixed income. The PR person at AT&T HQ said, "Absolutely not." So I had to pay another $250 to get it out of my life. A year at $40 a month ($480), plus $250, and that was $730 for a phone I never could use.

    Then there was my landline. Because my income is fixed I asked for a amount I could count on being stable and not jump around as it had been doing for a year. A customer service person said, "Sure, no problem." Well, there was a problem because the amount bill every month jumped higher and higher. Each and every month I had to call Billing and argue and plead for a figure I could put into my limited budget, and each time the customer service person would assure me that it would be done. It wasn't.

    I finally cut myself loose from AT&T. The connection was off on August 8 at 8 AM. I had just paid $160 in advance for September, but only used their service for one week. I was assured on chat and on the phone to Billing that I would get a refund for the time not used. Instead, I got another bill which I refuse to pay. I'll probably keep getting AT&T bills and am at a loss to know how to make them stop, although I haven't been an AT&T customer for three months.

    I bought a smart watch from the AT&T store online. When I got the shipping notification, it said it'd ship in A MONTH. When I called them, I was told they could not cancel the order since it was already being processed, but nor could they tell me anything about that status of the order or why the shipping time was so far out. Three more calls and over the next 2 weeks and an hour of phone time later and I didn't get any further. I eventually ordered the watch somewhere else, and when the AT&T order did arrive, I returned it. Now they wouldn't credit my credit card. I called with information showing them they'd accepted the return shipment, but they would not credit my account. 2 months after receiving the return they still wouldn't credit. I eventually had to dispute the charge. No problem there, since I had all the evidence that I'd returned the item and that they'd accepted it.

    We had a $45 prepaid plan which included unlimited talk, text and 300MB fast internet but unlimited after that. My daughter decided to have a new handset so we went to the shop and we were told that WE HAVE to change to a contract before we are allowed to purchase a handset on monthly basis. We were told that $50 will cover all the previous services exactly the same. What lies... The contract has 300MB data and after that it charged $20 for each extra 300MB!!! We were never informed of that in the shop. The phone was set to 4G LTE which auto uses data regardless (we were never told about that). The 300MB was used up in 1 day and we were charged 2 lots of $20.

    I rang AT&T and was told it was our own fault and we should have known better! I upgraded to 2GB data at extra $10 a month. Later I found they charged me a one-off $15 for the upgrade!!! As well as $40 service charge. I returned the phone after 5 days on 29-Oct-2015 and out of the $58 tax we paid, we were given $17 back and we were charged $35 re-stocking fee for handset. We were told that a prorated bill will be produced for the rubbish service that we received in 5 days (poor connections, no SMS at times). I just checked the online bill at still $148. And customer services said they cannot prorate the monthly fees and that I have to pay for full month even though I cancelled the poor service after 5 days. All the one-off charges almost $60 for service connection still apply!

    I told them I am not paying any of it and they have to take me to court. They should be apologizing and giving customers like me a compensation rather than stealing money from me by the hidden charges that they think are valid. The store guy shows you an iPad with little detail and asks you to sign and agree. But the devil is in the 100 page detail which they never print for you and you never have time to read. AVOID AT&T at all costs... I see MANY people moving to T-Mobile, including me.

    Sooo disappointed with AT&T! After over 15 years using their service, I ported my number to Verizon to a phone provided my employer. I realized AT&T bills in advance, but I figured I will pay my bill on time and they would prorate the month, and refund the balance, based on canceling my service 7 days into the cycle. I was WRONG. After speaking with customer service and a manager we went round and round as they explained to me "I could have used my full service in those 7 days". No consideration given to my decade of historic low usage. It was essentially - Thank you for donating your extra money to AT&T. There's absolutely nothing we can do. I should have not paid my final bill and let them bill me for service used after the fact. So much for trying to be an honorable bill-payer!

    Today I decided to cut off all of my AT&T services. I was told that just because I had paid my past due bill and my current bill that they were still justified in shutting my service off and charging me $40. I explained to them that I had been using them as a home phone company for 28 years, as a credit card company for 31 years, as a cell phone provider for 25 years and as an internet service provider for 21 years and had been paying their company faithfully every month. I said it was not right, which it isn't, to shut off my service when my account was paid up.

    After a long time on hold, the customer service representative came back and told me the $40 reconnection fee was "valid". Well switching companies for all four services I have paid them for for decades is extremely valid. I'm sure I will also save a lot of money doing so. If you own AT&T stock, I'd say sell right away. I'm sure I am not the only customer they have treated badly and I'm sure their stock will drop as a result.

    I have a old flip phone and are subscribed in a $39.99A monthly minimum plan since I'm retired. According to the AT&T bill I had one 1 hour and 3 minutes intl. phone call to Australia and was charged for it $229!! Plus $43 in taxes. This was a full mistake. I have Skype and other prefix numbers where the call is free or might have cost $2. After several calls to AT&T supervisors they never adjusted it, or returned the $ amount charged in automatic payment.

    Unfortunately, Internet Service costs have to be shopped every year. AT&T, like their recent acquisition, DirecTV, slip in fees and add costs arbitrarily throughout the life of an agreement. I have a combined internet (45 mbps) and Land Line phone with AT&T and the once attractive monthly bill had grown to $127 per month. A call to Bright house revealed a similar plan (35 mbps) for $89 per month. I called AT&T, selected "cancel my service" and was redirected to a sales agent. The agent offered to beat the Bright House offer by $10. My bill went from $127 to $79 during a two minute phone call. I should have called months ago.

    So I decide to switch wireless carriers and save $100 per month. I have a 6 yr-old phone, not under contract, and owe nothing on my service. Problem is that it is still locked into AT&T. I call customer service and answer 20 questions then they tell me to go online and fill out request form. I do that and then had to wait for a test message. I get the test message and have to click to verify that I made the request to unlock. Was told I would have to wait for the code. Got a message that the account holder information I provided didn't match their records. Geeeeeez. I was a customer for over 20 yrs before they decided to rape me. #AT&Twirelesssucks.

    We had an account with At&T for 12 years. In the store not long ago they offered to consolidate the AT&T bill with DirecTV bill. (BIG MISTAKE). To save $10 a month we have been through a month of hell. For no reason the phone service to three phones got cut off. We got the phones back on and the next week all the phones and the DirecTV got cut off for no obvious reason. We got passed from office to office and no one could figure out what happened. Finally the account holder was told she owed $271 (she didn't), but paid the money to get the account reinstated. She was told that we had to go to a store to reconnect. When we went to the store they said the account was cancelled and although they tried to help us, they called "tech support" and after an hour the person at tech support hung up on their own co-worker at the store.

    The next night we went to another store and the manager called tech support and finally spoke to someone who knew what they were doing. That person discovered that instead of consolidating the account, the person cancelled our account. They were finally able to reconnect the phones (after 5 days, and we use the phones for a business). After receiving numerous bills from direcTV, they have cut off the direcTV again, saying we owe $250?? We already switched to T-Mobile for the phones and the next step is call Verizon for the cable. AT&T is the most inept company I have ever seen. The billing dept. can't explain where payments have gone and sends out bills that no one can explain what they are for. I don't know how AT&T stays in business and believe me I am telling everyone I know not to go with AT&T. Most of them seem to already know how bad AT&T is. If I could give them a rating of less than zero, believe me I would give them -10.

    Long story short - my phone was not charging. Called to get it replaced. They sent it to me. I sent broken one back. They told me that they didn't receive and could not track. I called everyday for a week solid. They put a charge of $485 for device on bill. I called again today. Told yes they received. Its in their possession but will not take the charge off my bill of 485.00 because it was late getting returned. I got email of a 14 day return policy on 9/8. The old phone was properly returned on 9/9/15 and it was scanned in by ups and AT&T. Received that alert also on 9/9 as the warranty dept gentleman told us it would be ok. (AT&T the supervisor now saying have to pay the 485.00 and no we do not get the device back. Why should I have to pay for a phone I DO NOT HAVE? If don't pay phone service will be disconnected.

    AT&T sucks. I just called customer service to let them know I sent in my payment. Then it's not enough and said I would still be canceled. They are jerks there. The owner is a very greedy person. My service was so high I was told a different price when I set up my service then I got my bill and it was almost $300. Crazy! ** AT&T. My family is canceling their service with them too and moving our service to Dish. AT&T does not keep up good customer service or work with customers. They rip people off. They should be sued.

    After a one year commitment with AT&T U-Verse, I renegotiated a new contract. The new price for the upcoming month had ballooned so much after the first year promotion had ended. I seriously thought about dropping AT&T U-verse to go with another carrier. But I decided to stay after the representative talk me out of it by saying that I had been a loyal customer and that he would work to get me to the nearest price that would work for me, after negotiating the final price after taxes. I told him to send me confirmation and I never received it. I received a bill and it was more than what the agent had quoted.

    When I call to complain. The billing department sent me to the loyalty department and the loyalty department told me for what I was receiving that was the best promotion that they could do for me at that price. I told the loyalty representative that I was not happy and that I wanted to speak to her manager. I am waiting for that call from the manager. AT&T quotes you one price but after they feel that have you as a customer somehow the price changes and goes higher. I have also experienced this on my wireless bill. Watch your pockets.

I contacted AT&T and they said it was our problem and the only way to fix it was to purchase a special piece of equipment from them and pay a monthly fee to use it. We have to pay more money to use our cell phones? Our monthly bill is already outrageous. We have 2 lines, with very low data use and pay $150.00 + monthly.

    My mother and I have had a family plan since 1999. I lost my phone one year ago. I was told on several occasions that in November 2015 I would be eligible for a new phone. I was in town the last week of October and called AT&T to see if I could get it a couple of weeks early and the rep said not without paying for it out of pocket or having it added to our bill to pay over time. So I decided to just keep waiting until mid-November. My mother had a problem with her phone after that call and took it to AT&T store. The sales rep told her that in November I would not be getting a new phone because they do not offer that program anymore. She paid $1,200 for two phones. Later that day I came in town and said there is no way we are doing business with them anymore. They have been telling me on several occasions that I will get a free upgrade in November. We have also been paying $130 per month.

    AT&T said they have changed their policy to be more competitive with the industry and I will not be getting my new iPhone without paying $600. I refuse to do business with liars. We switched to Verizon which gave us an iPhone for 99 cents and we are paying $50 less per month for two-year agreement. Apparently AT&T is not doing a good job keeping up with the Industry. Thanks AT&T for giving me a reason to shop my business somewhere else. AT&T is now added to my list of companies which I will NEVER do business with again. Before shopping I called AT&T directly and gave them an opportunity to make this right. I had my complaint transferred to a Manager, the results were the same.

    I detest you the most of any AT&T. Your lack of drive, your lack of skills in customer relation have torn to shreds one of the past's greatest communications company. The generation of "I don't knows" or "I can't" have made retail transactions a horrid experience. You are paving the way to a future of automation. Killing jobs for not just yourself but for many others as well. Management holds a stake in this as well. Either stop trying to excel in technology so quickly or create better job training so your employees have an actual clue to what they are doing. I do not use the word hate often but I have been let down more and more each time. It is completely inexcusable for you to destroy faith in your consumers.

    AT&T is a HUGE joke, it seems like every month they are making changes to what they are doing, not notifying customers of bill date changes and when making payment arrangements and cancelling it because you've paid a week prior you are still required to pay whatever balance remains plus whatever else is due. The company only wants money, money, money! My bill is never the same rate monthly, it's always fluctuating because of "changes" made last month, and then the reception is poor, I can never get a signal, U-verse is a joke!! If you are considering switching to AT&T, PLEASE DON'T! The customer service reps can never help you either, they always refer to online access and make you figure things out yourself.

I telephoned AT&T and processed the order with a customer service rep with the understanding I had a two year agreement and my bill would remain the same. Well, I received my bill and on it was a fee for an installment of 28 payments for 16.25 to be added to my monthly bill. When I inquired about my bill, I was told I was placed on the next plan and am responsible for the remaining balance ($456.92) for the device. This is not what I was told when I upgraded my device.

    Awful service! I am sure the store owner would like to know what type of employees are servicing his customers, thus my review below. Firstly, customers are barely acknowledged upon arrival and once you are helped, the customer service acts as if he is doing you a favor by taking your order. I was "helped" by Alfonso R., two days ago on 10/27/15. I placed my order that day, but couldn't ignore the rep.'s critical comments about how it bothered him "customers who show up to pickup their phone orders first thing in the morning at 9 AM". Despite this, I ordered an Iphone 6S 64GB for my wife with him that day. Today, 10/29/15, I received the tracking confirmation e-mail that it was delivered at the store.

    My wife called at 7:40 pm to ask about closing time and she was told at 8:00 pm. I come in the store at 7:50 and Alfonso, again, makes an annoying and rude comment that "Had I come in 5 min. later, I would not have found the store open". I asked him if "he needed me to return at another time" and told him to save his attitude. He accused me of having an attitude, abruptly locked the store door and almost unwillingly offered to activate the phone, to which I replied I no longer wanted it. It is evident that this employee does not have a clue as to what customer service entails, let alone, does he care.

    He seems to have a problem with customers who, based on the tracking store receipt confirmation, come in soon to pickup their orders. Based on his previous comments and after the lack of service I received tonight, it is evident that this employee expects for customers to wait around for his phone call, at his convenience - and not - the store's hours of operations, before they are able to pickup their orders.....Amazing!! I hope management takes more care on their Customer Service training program. As an action, I will come in tomorrow and CANCEL my order. I will definitely be placing it elsewhere and will certainly warn everyone I know to avoid this store, based on this experience.

    We purchased a contract with AT&T for TV and internet. We had no service about as often as we had service. I complained and received a couple free months, but the trend never changed. It simply did not work reliably. After one year we dropped AT&T and went with Dish network, which has provided uninterrupted service and excellent customer service. In comparison, we still have AT&T for internet and it is constantly slow or unavailable. When we call for assistance we get put thru to some place in India with people we cannot understand and who do not have a working knowledge of the system. The man I spoke with assured me he was personally going to call someone (I couldn’t understand) and make sure that our service was back online by a certain date. He promised he would call me when he got everything taken care of.

    He did not call, nor did he do anything he said he was going to do. He also said he was sending someone to my house after telling me they had a very large outage in the Dallas area. I asked him why he would do that. Obviously the problem is not at my house if half of Dallas is out. I also continuously reminded him I was flying out on a business trip and would not be home for a tech to come out, but he kept insisting he was sending a tech. It was pretty obvious to me that they have a memorized script to tell people things to get them to shut up. They don’t appear to know anything about the AT&T subsystem. But my biggest complaint is American companies like this who outsource hundreds of jobs for American people and give them to another country. As bad as our economy is, why wouldn’t you do your part to help the people of America instead of creating such a graceless age.

    AT&T has a way of making everything work in their favor. Had a cell phone, bill 43$. Was told I had to drive to a store to pay the bill. I said I would mail it. By the time I went and got money order they shut my phone down. Was told I broke contract and bill went to 459.00. They broke contract, not me. Now my DSL service, started out at 14.95 a month for high-speed internet, unlimited. All of a sudden I start getting bills for using too many megabits. Bill was never what it was suppose to be, over charged constantly. Phone call after phone call with promises but nothing ever happened. Told them to shut it down after more than five years of **. Paid my bill at that time, already received another bill for over 100$. These people and this company needs to be investigated for fraud. They do anything they want. Who regulates what they can do?

    I have been a customer for nearly 20 years and today's experience is exactly why AT&T can no longer even have my phone service! I have been complaining about not receiving my bill for three months only to return home to learn that the service has been interrupted. I held for 32 minutes and then went online for a resolve and received confirmation that the service would be restored "shortly." That was three days ago so then I called today I was told that wasn't the case, it must have been a mistake online. I asked for a manager and was told that they're all in a meeting but one will call you back in two hours. I called back after three, and canceled the service and was told goodbye. Done.

    Horrible customer service. Overcharging every month for fees. First 2 months over 15 sales calls on my phone a day. AT&T sold the number to telemarketing. I signed a year with AT&T. I was told that I was being charged 3 months for renting a modem. They lied and they charged me for the installation. Now I have a re-installation fee because I missed my due date. My bills have been completely out of range of my budget, and I can't afford more than the 54$ I signed up for.

    AT&T had sold my number to telemarketers and I received over 15 calls a day on the 200 minute/month phone line. This should be illegal. For 54$ service, I have paid over 200$ in fees alone in 4 months. When I call for customer service I can never get a manager. They won't let you talk to anyone else. If you do the employees will start sending you on a labyrinth of different departments until you're tired of dealing with customer service and just give in. This company is shady, immoral and on the verge of illegal, especially selling a phone number like that without my permission. I spent hours with different telemarketers just to be put on their "do not call" list.

    I want to put my account on auto pay but I'm so afraid that AT&T will just deduct anything they want to charge me and not just the 54$ a month I have due. I can't do that until my faith is restored in the company. I want to be able to call the company with a complaint such as the endless phone calls the first couple of months and actually reach someone who can help me. A manager, someone who is not going to sit there and try to sell me more stuff and tell me what a "great" deal I got with AT&T, because I did not get a deal, I got robbed. Guaranteed, I will be cancelling this service by the end of my contract if nothing changes.

    I live in Pensacola, Fl and my wife and I were at the AT&T wireless store on the corner of Bayou Blvd. and 9th Ave. Upon arrival the greeter opens the door, writes our name down and looks up our account, and puts in the wait queue. While waiting we are browsing the new phones and my wife wanted an iPhone and I was willing to go cheap so she could get what she wanted. She is, of course, non-tech savvy at all and while looking at the new iPhone 6 unplugs the USB cord (and yes she does know what that is) and the alarm system goes off. Person after person come look at it and we are embarrassed of course, then one comments it was already broken and after several minutes they stopped the alarming and fixed what should have been fixed already. Already red-faced, we can let that go. We continue to wait and look around.

    While I am looking at a tablet on display and opening the side door that covers the SD card and the SIM card (and yes I know they swing open) the greeter, who is close to the door and on the other side of the building starts yelling at me in her Hulk voice "Sir stop doing that. You're going to steal it and break it"... OMG. Did she really say that? I work a well-known telecom business in town and have lots of experience with tablets. The lady continues to yell at me and finally stops. The store is still. I am so embarrassed and shocked I don't know how to respond. I put it down and go sit down.

    I then mess with my phone mulling over in mind what happened. And I leave and properly go to Verizon and buy two new phones and two new tablets for my wife and I. After close to 20 years of being a AT&T wireless customer we left. 20 years of loyalty to be treated like a dirtbag. I am so hurt and disgusted and still no one in management will call me be back, no one. My personal cell phone number is **. I would like a call from someone at the regional level at this point.

    On October 23, 2015 I needed to update a credit card for automatic bill pay associated with a data plan for an iPad. Repeated attempts to sign in via the iPad were unsuccessful, necessitating that I go to an AT&T store. Once there I discovered that AT&T had completely incorrectly set up the accounts. I had previously purchased a newer iPad (an iPad Air) and gave my older iPad (iPad 2) to my boyfriend. We both went to an AT&T store to create a new account. My account (with the then iPad 2) had unlimited data - which is now not offered but I had been grandfathered in when they discontinued that plan. We requested that this data plan be switched to the upgraded iPad Air and the older iPad 2 have a plan with 3 gig of data associated with it. Both devices should have been on the same account.

    When I call today, I find out, the iPad Air is on a separate account and rather having 3 gig associated with it has the unlimited data on it. And the Air, which should have the unlimited is on the first plan. I repeatedly told the service Rep (Favio) that by the end of the call I needed all the devices on ONE plan. The newer iPad should have unlimited data on it and the older account the 3 gig. By end of call, I'd been able to update payment information, but still had two separate accounts. It took another half hour to get the unlimited data back. Felt like they were being sneaky and trying to get the unlimited plan away from me. HORRIBLE customer service. If hadn't ultimately got the unlimited plan back (and we'll see when I get a bill) I'd be cancelling AT&T.

    We were told that our bundle would be around $50 a month. For 4 months straight our bill was tripled. We were charged twice for the same installation. We were charged for equipment that we returned and had received confirmation from AT&T that they had received it. Every single month we were on the phone for an hour to an hour and a half trying to get our bill straightened out. Every single time we were told that the charges were being taken off and that our bill would be correct the following month. They never were and our bill just kept going up. We'd call back and no one would be able to find a record of past phone conversations. One of the last times someone assured us that everything was going to be taken care of, I asked for the reps name and I.D. number. He hung up on me and SURPRISE!!!!! It was never taken care of.

    The last time we spoke to a rep we went through every detail of our history with AT&T and he actually admitted that, yes, AT&T owed us over $300 in fraudulent charges and that he would issue a credit. We told him that we'd also like to terminate service. He told us that he could do that, but that he'd have to charge us a $189 termination fee. We told him to take it out of the credit he was issuing for the fraudulent charges. He said that the only way he'd issue the credit was if we agreed to stay with AT&T. This is OUR MONEY that AT&T should've never had to begin with, but they won't return it to us unless we agree to allow AT&T to continue to robbing us every month.

    What AT&T is doing to consumers is nothing short of criminal. They are most definitely running an intentional scam on the American people and getting away with it, We terminated our service with AT&T and will probably be fee'd to death for it. I will never have anything to do with AT&T as long as I live. I'll go the rest of my life without internet service before I'll ever give them the opportunity to steal one more cent from me.

    They are now charging $40 and said it is because I have a smartphone - regardless of what the rep told me. I argued with them but only way they will lower rate is if I buy a new phone or start using a basic phone - 2nd time I've been lied to by AT&T - also got DirecTV thru AT&T and lied about rate. I even saved the chats I had with the rep specifically giving the rate and I asked several times to be sure this was correct but they refuse to change rate.

I was being billed for 300 and was charged $20 or $30 more for overage.

    I called AT&T and they, supposedly, corrected my bill and told me I owed $84.00 and my future bill would be $84.00. Well it wasn't. My bill was $318.00 and was told I needed to pay $84.00 immediately or I would be suspended. Needless to say, they turned me off. I said I could pay part of it, but they said no. They also told me just because I was ready for an upgrade, I still had to pay for it. If that isn't crazy and ridiculous, tell me what is. I have been with AT&T for about 12 years. When I didn't have a contract they were great. The minute you sign a contract you'd better pay right on time or you are off. I think they want the reconnection fee.

She was away for 25 days and only used her cellphone in places with free Wi-Fi, mainly used her phone to take pictures. When she was connected to the Wi-Fi she was able to get text messages coming from USA. She only got text when she was on Wi-Fi.

    I went to the store, what a disappointment!!!! The sales person was not willing to help in any way!! He said, "Oh she used the phone." Again my question is "How was the phone working? When I paid for my international plan did not work and when my wife is using her phone on free Wi-Fi she gets charged for it???" This is very wrong, I feel robbed especially because I have it on auto payment!!! AT&T should treat their customer with more respect and provide more information!!!! I asked the salesman, "How would you feel if this happened to you?" and he was very ironic and said, "When my father went to another country I got him an international plan..." Sure he did, he works at AT&T and knows how they charge for services that nobody knows about it!!!!!

I wish they can train their sales people to treat customers with the respect we deserve! Also I really wish they would take in consideration how their customers feel and they should refund the money, especially because they never mention that they charge even if you do not wish to have an international plan!!!

    I was in New York on my way from Los Angeles to Europe. I dropped my cell phone, so it was no longer working. I had four hours to make the plane. I raced to the AT&T store in Manhattan. Luckily - so I thought - I was due for an upgrade anyway (with another two-year contract renewal). I figured that if the store wasn't too crowded, I'd have to pay $150 - $200 for the upgrade and still make my plane. Within about 45 minutes, I had a new phone and was on my way. As I was leaving, the salesman handed me a box. "What's this, I asked?" It is some sort of a tablet. It is still in the box. I don't need a tablet. I don't want a tablet. The salesman said - scout's honor, he really did say this - "It's a gift that comes with the phone." What? Why would I get a gift of a product that I don't want?

    Upon my return from Europe, I received my bill from AT&T and was staggered. Nearly three hundred dollars! When I called to object to the bill, among the things I asked about was why I have an additional new phone number. Why? This tablet, it seems, has its own phone number. I asked that I be allowed to return it, and only can do so with an "early termination fee." Termination fee for what? For the tablet.

    Somehow, somewhere along the way, I got scammed into signing a two-year "contract" for a device that I don't want, that I was told was "a gift" that "came with" the tablet. Oh, and I did not get my scheduled phone upgrade. No, I bought a new phone for $750 and now have a $25 monthly fee that I pay. What happened to the two-year contract renewal? "The company is moving away from those contracts." Really? The company did not "move away" from conning me into a two-year contract for the tablet, so exactly what contracts are they "moving away" from? Oh, those must be the ones that suit their needs. I have been fleeced. These people should be charged with a crime.

I said "why would I set it up if I have no intentions to pay it then?" She said "I will not take it." We went back and forth for 20 minutes and after that she said she would take my payment. I said "no transfer me." She said "I can't do that." I said "why?" She said "because I'm not going to." I'm like wow! I'm on the phone with AT&T for an hour with no resolve! What a waste of time!

    I buy a iPhone I have no service at all in my apartment. I call AT&T customer service and they told me that I had to buy some Kanda device to have a better service... I said, "Really, so I've been spending all this money plus I have to buy a device to have better service. What a deal." I thought the company who you pay monthly is their responsibility to provide you good service such as this. Kanda device has to be for free because it’s not my fault that you have such a weak signal. I'm so disappointed. Before you buy this service pp do some more research. Thank you.

While supposedly they signed me up every year for a new contract and we agree on a price, every statements is different and it keep going up every month. It has been 4 years, I asked them not to put me on automatic renewal, but still I am in automatic renewal so they could charge me if I want to discontinue. Extremely dishonest company.

    This company has the most argumentative, utterly ridiculous customer service. They even argued with a manager that was helping me in a retail store regarding being overcharged on my wireless account. The loss prevention department is a joke and really doesn't care whether or not you stay. The biggest no brainer is a matter most would deem common sense and that's in reference to their policy of billing one month in advance. I have literally paid my entire balance, including the extra month, on more than one occasion. After a recent bill was incorrectly processed internally, they listed my total amount due as two payments plus late fees and reconnection charges.

    The simple fact is I have paid thousands of dollars more than the amount one would use simple math to figure the amount of service months and corresponding total. They refuse to accept this simple argument by hiding their mistakes and fraud behind a hidden clause that supposedly excuses them of any wrong doing on any billing issue more than 30 days old!! No, I am not joking!! As a small business owner, this makes me cringe and would definitely cost me clients should I adopt the same method of screwing people out of their hard-earned money. So, beware to any out there fighting a losing battle with this huge corporation. Even if your point is valid and have bank statements to support it, they are willing to hide behind a clause that most would consider illegal, unethical best.

    On June 2015, I called AT&T requesting my phone bill due date changed to the 15th of the month. I was told it would take approximately 2-3 billing cycles. July 1st, I switched my tv and internet service to AT&T and wanted all my bills to come due the 15th of the month. It is now October and my bill is not only on the 15, but it's the first of the month. I get paid once a month and this is causing me to have late charges with AT&T. I have made numerous request for this to happen and as of today, October 17, 2015, it has not happened.

    I am on the phone with AT&T as I write this. I was told they did show my request for phone date to change to the 25. I have asked why my bill is not on the 15th, they have told me that my September bill due date was the 7th, and now my October bill was the first. I have been told today they would change my date. I asked for verification to be sent by email. AT&T is telling me they have no way to do this. I would advise anyone dealing with AT&T customer service to record the phone call.

    I purchased a Samsung Galaxy note 4 in October 2014 under the next program. Since then I have had a total of 4 replacement devices. Each device would constantly power cycle and freeze. Every time I called warranty or customer service, I was given a different excuse as to what it could be. I had the sim card replaced. I have done master reset after reset just to end up losing all of my important stuff. After speaking with a representative today, I was told that my device could be exchanged for a different device. All 3 devices that they offered were all over a year old. Which is a total downgrade (a note 3 or a galaxy s5). Keep in mind that I'm still paying for the note 4 under the next program. So now I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't work. I have seven lines on this account. But I'm currently looking to exchange carriers. I will never deal with AT&T again...

    After being a loyal AT&T customer for my entire cell phone life, I must say.....they are they absolute WORSE at customer service. Here's some background on my situation. About a month ago I come to find out that there is ANOTHER account in my name. How did I find out? Well, my phone was suspended which really threw me off because I had a payment scheduled to go thru the following week. So I called to inquire, which was difficult to do without a working phone because you cannot EVEN speak to an operator if your line is suspended, your only option is to make a payment.

    Mind you, I am supposed to make a payment on a line I know nothing about. I managed to speak to a customer service rep who informs me about the reason my service was suspended. You can imagine my surprise.... she could care less and gives me the number to the fraud department. OK, that's cool.... I mean at least I can file a claim and get this handled. WRONG!!!

    AT&T does not view this as a "fraud" case because they (the people that opened this account) have my name and S.S number, now that is terrifying. When I ask the fraud specialist if there is anything she could do for me, her response "No, there is nothing I can do for you". No compassion, no attempt at understanding, no empathy.... just a cold hard "NO". I have worked in the customer service area for years and I have NEVER EVER EVER said no flat out to a CUSTOMER, like that.

    Ok.... it is clear that this is a business with no compassion for its consumers.... they're making millions, what do they care if I barely make enough to keep my head above water as long as they get what is owed to them. So I came up with enough money to get my phone back on and I call that lovely customer service line again to get the other account cancelled. And guess what... there are fees on fees on fees....YUP! Nearly $500 to cancel an account that I didn't even know existed, well.... I don't make that kind of money and even on the strictest budget, I will come up short. They tell me it's due in a week and if it is not paid my service will be suspended again.

    It is now a little over the deadline and I call again to work out a deal.... guess how helpful those lovely CS reps were... NOT AT ALL. Again, no sympathy, no empathy. They say I have "about a week" till my phone is shut off again.... and the amount needs to be paid in full, along with my actual bill. Alright, there it is... nobody can do anything to help.... fine. Only it's not fine, the last rep I spoke with actually threatened me saying my phone can be turned off today. I'm over it and I'm over them.

    I will post this everywhere and I will tell everyone I know that this is a really crumby company with poorly trained representatives. And if they read this, I would like them to understand that their reps are just that, representing the entire company and one crack can make it crumble. Please please share this story and know that their security measures are minimal. (They couldn't even "notate" in my account that accounts should only be open in person with an id check.)

    I bought Samsung s6 edge 3 months ago. My phone got turned off abruptly when I was in a call and never turned on. I placed for charging and there is no luck. I did hard reset did all solutions that were available on forums and they were no help. I went to AT&T store, they tried to do a reset and it didn't help. I asked them to exchange me with a new phone and their reply was no. They said it has to deal with Samsung. My question is I bought this device from AT&T. When I am purchasing this device did you say the same thing to me that go and buy in Samsung store??? And when people are there to buy device the way they treat is much different and when you have a problem.

    The solution they provided is to call the service center and I asked them when they have the inventory in the store why do I need to go through all the procedure and they have no answers for that. The way they ship the device takes 11 business days and they want the customers to suffer all the pain. I am paying 38$ every month for AT&T next. I tried talking to a manager named Brim **. He asked me to put AT&T agent and ended the call abruptly. I am very much disappointed with the way they deal with the customers. And the Other thing they said they will send me a certified phone. To the people who are planning to buy devices from AT&T my suggestion would be go and buy the product from the stores they manufacture. These AT&T stores are for no help. They just pretend to nice when you buy the phone and take no care when devices goes off.

They did so a year ago when I decided to try out VoIP. I tried it for about a week & it was horrible. I called AT&T, told them I wanted to come back & they said I had a bill just come out & in order to start my services over again I would have to at least pay $50.00 of that bill & they would accept adding rest to next bill. So I paid the $50.00, got my phone back on including same number I had. Next thing I know I got a credit score decline due to AT&T for $126.00. Ummm HUH? That was the bill I had paid $50.00 on.

The 1st phone call lasted 26 minutes before the operator told me I was in the wrong department and she gave me another number to call. After calling that number and spending almost 15 minutes, I was given another number to call, which turned out to be an online survey co. that wanted to sell me cruise tickets. Called the other number back and was put on hold for another 25 plus minutes before being disconnected.

    Called the number back again and after another 45 minutes of being asked to hold and be patient, I was told they would have to call me back in 24 hours because there was too much to do at this time. After more than 2 hours of calling, waiting, being disconnected, and then told they would have to call me back, I still do not have the offer confirmed or implemented.

    I received a bill in July 2014. I called Customer Service and talked to someone that could not find my bill, with any information I gave them, that came off the bill. After much time of trying different things, they finally found me. But could not say that the bill was mine and said since it was not associated with my SS# so it would not show up on my credit report. Received another bill the next month, called again, talked to another person, got the same answer. So shortly later received a letter from collections. I ignored it (big mistake) because I was listening to what the CS agent was telling me.

    Well here it is a year + later and I am trying to refinance my home and I find out from the mortgage loan officer that I have this hit on my credit, that I need to take care of before I can proceed with the loan. So I call the collection agency just to find out I have to go through AT&T to get them to take it off, before I can get them to remove it. So here starts my next long journey of trying to get this taken care of.

    I call AT&T first. I talk with the Fraud dept., no, that is not right, you need to talk with the Billing dept. After being transferred several times to several people and have to go through their AWFUL automated system, almost every time, I finally talk to someone in the billing dept. that said she was going to do some digging and call me back. Two days later, still hadn't heard from her so thought I want to get this taken care of before the weekend. So called at 4pm Friday night, same rigmarole, transferred, dropped, on hold and am told no I need to talk to this person or that person. Three hours later someone transferred me while I was on hold and ended up at the automated system again just to be told they were closed and call back during business hours.

    Ok, so now it's Monday and I need to get this taken care of. So after being told, no I need to talk to the Collections department, when I was transferred to the Collections dept. 2 hours later, she came on the line and said, "nope you need to talk to billing." At this point I told her "let me talk to your supervisor." After about an I was able to talk to a supervisor who finally told me how these calls were operator assisted calls to my house. Even though the number that they assisted them to wasn't my number. She tried explaining to me how this was a valid bill. After much talking, I finally got through to her or maybe she just gave up, I don't know, but supposedly she was removing the charges from (my) bill.

    In all this time I talk to 2 women that actually acted like they cared, Gerry and Camille (who should be given promotions in my mind, maybe something would get done within that company). They both went above and beyond to make sure I was connected to someone they thought would help me and stayed on the line with me until an actual person was talking with me. They both took my phone number in case the call was dropped and Camille even called me immediately back when the call was dropped.

    On the other hand, Raschelle ** and Datarius ** were two of the rudest people I dealt with and that is saying a lot, considering the people I dealt with at this company in the 10 hours of my life. I gave up to get this mess cleared up. Bottom line, do not, I repeat DO NOT do business with them unless your time means nothing to you!!!

    My wife has had AT&T for years. She complained about it continually. She stated that they would put cost on the bill which she did not want or need. In evidence of that, she is engaged in the class action AT&T suit for such actions in the past. Another incident, she requested the Samsung tablet, $10 a month payment, be removed and taken out of service once the contract amount was satisfied. They did not remove it until recently, at least 2-3 years after it should have been taken off service.

    I, more recently, was involved as I began to pay the AT&T bill. She had an issue on the warranty where it was stated to her there would be a $50.00 max fee for repairs. When a tablet needed repair, the deductible from AT&T was $200. So she has taken all insurance off the AT&T purchased items (after several attempts). Last year we purchased new LG G3 phones from AT&T. She stated NO INSURANCE, returned home to find insurance on the phones just purchased. Now I know first hand what AT&T representatives are like... HORRID. I am amazed that a large corporation can and do such violations of customer wishes, all of which seem to be monetarily in favor of their bottom line.

I already had my one phone number from Sprint.

I called their Technician multiple times to fix the problem and they were unable. They told me to go to the nearest AT&T office, that they will help me or maybe tell me if there was something wrong with the phone. These people were unable to help me so they told me to go to the Apple store and I did go the following day.

    Apple did not detected a problem but they decided to give me a new cell phone. I experienced the same problems and after few weeks going back and forth with AT&T Technician they told me to go to an AT&T service by SW Freeway and Kirby in Houston, TX.

At the time it seems that everything was fine but until I got to the NW area where I live the same situations keep coming for several weeks until I finally gave up and they actually acknowledged that one of the towers in my area was down.

    I was fed up and tried many times to have them help me because I was not satisfied with the wireless service they provided. I was having trouble with my final bill because they were billing me for the service of one month $90 dollars plus the charge of the cell phone of $315.00. I went back to the nearest AT&T office and I was able to have one of the ladies help me get a return shipping label for the iPhone 5C and she had them emailed this information to her and she printed the label and I shipped it back to NEWGISTICS, INC. Smart Label Returns, Parcel Return Service **, RMA No. **, Tracking No. **.

    I shipped the phone in September 4, 2015. AT&T is still charged me $315 for breaking the contract but the actual price of the Cell is $315 so I feel that AT&T was not able to provide the service that I was expecting and they still want me to pay when it's AT&T breached the contract because their service was Horrible, the worse service compare to other providers like T-Mobile and Sprint. NOTE: I WOULD LIKE FOR AT&T TO WAIVE THE CHARGES IN THE AMOUNT OF $315.

    I had AT&T service for 2 years prior to September 2015. I was under a contract for 2 years which I was told would end on February 2015. I changed to Verizon in September and much to my surprise I got a bill from AT&T today with a termination fee of $135.00. When I called they informed me that I was under contract until January 2016. I moved to Arizona last November and kept the number and service with AT&T. In the first place I would never renew my phone service with AT&T because I have had serious problems with them in the past. I know they are in error of this information.

    I canceled my account with AT&T because of their terrible customer service and outrageous pricing almost 3 months ago and switched to T-mobile. I paid almost $200 worth of early termination fees to get out as fast as I could. I received an email yesterday saying I have a past due bill for AT&T for $233.76. I call their customer service line and wait on the phone with 6 different representatives for over 2 hours trying to figure out why they are still billing me. At the end of everything, they say that the bill is valid because my account was never canceled. What? I remember calling in and being told that by paying them this extra $185 in early termination fees I would be closing my account. And now they're still billing me?! I will never recommend AT&T to anyone and will never use their service again.

    In December 2014 I lost internet service. I called AT&T and there was when I realize that I had no paper bills even when I have never signed for paperless. After hours in the phone first searching for the account number, they told me that I would have to buy a new modem, I asked if I could change from DSL to U-verse. They said yes. I have the equipment from other location. So, they promised they will install it the next day. I did not went to work waiting for the tech. By 1 pm, I called to ask when the tech was coming. They said that I was scheduled for Friday (that day was a Wednesday). I told them what the lady promised and they said that she should never offer that. So, in that moment I request the cancellation of the service, making sure both services DSL and U-verse were cancelled. It took me until January to keep calling and telling them that I did not want neither of the services.

    In January, I hire a different company. As the time went by, I noticed that I was still being charged for the service. I called again. Since December, I requested a final bill in the mail. I never got one. Once, I got a check from AT&T for $8 or so. I thought it was it. In March, I went to the AT&T store for a issue with my cell. The associate there signed me in myAT&T application in the phone. There was when I notice a overdue charge. I have no clue that I had an outstanding balance. I called and AT&T said that the issue was resolved. Then, I started to received collection calls. I called again, this time AT&T said that the reason why it was not resolved is because it required a supervisor to authorize the credit in the account. So, the lady said that she had emailed the supervisor and that the issue was resolved. The amount disappear from the application.

    Weeks later, the phone calls continue. I called again. This time, they said that the supervisor did not complete the process but that this time the supervisor will do it. Every time, I asked for confirmation, and they promised to email me or call me in a given time. They never did. Weeks later, the same story. The same waste of time in the phone, the same promises; but this time they promised to credit my account in an amount over the due amount so I would received a check in the mail for 30 some dollars as a proof that the correction was made. I have never received such a refund. Then, the collection calls again. And I called again, first they saw the credit, then they transferred me to another department who did not see any credits, bouncing back and forward for hours in the phone.

    At the end, the same promise that this issued was resolved. Weeks later the same thing. This time, I chat. The same promise last Oct. 2, 2015, "Everything is resolved, just wait for a confirmation call in 72 hours. Here I am in Oct. 9, 2015, no call yet. I entered to myAT&T online, and the balance due still there. I chat for long time bounced between departments 5 representatives until the last one called me to connect me with Cancellations Department, who connected me with the supervisor, and the call dropped.

    This has got to be the worst wireless service I have ever had. I switched from another service and am very sorry I did this. First of all, people call me and sometimes my phone rings and sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time when people call, it goes straight to voice mail. Secondly, I get constant dropped calls. When I make a call, it takes 20 seconds in dead silence and then the call may or may not go through. If the call goes through, it just drops. I called AT&T and they told me to shut down the phone and restart it. I have done this many times, but it doesn't help. When my contract is up, I will NOT renew it with them again.

    I called for internet service problem back in July 2015 for not getting any signal. CS Agent cannot resolve the problem and suggest to send another modem to replace the old one. Since I paid for the modem last year for $100 to begin my internet service I was told that if a pay this amount I will technically owned it. So all was set until last July, which I had to call them to fix my signal. Anyway, before I agreed to them I made sure that I am not getting charge for replacing my modem, the service and installation and the modem itself is free of charge. I got 100 percent response of NO CHARGE will be put on your bill. For that I said yes! The technician came, brought the new modem and took the old one.

    Now, exactly October 7, 2015 I checked my bill and I am trying to pay for my bill. A lease charge for the modem appeared in my bill. It is less than $8. I called the customer service and asked about it. They told me about the new policy which began in January 2015 that there will be no more replacing equipment and that you can either lease the modem or pay for the whole amount. And I just learned that the lease for this modem will be for the entire time I will have their service. Are you serious! They told me it's their policy, but how about me which was not notified about it during my conversation with the technical support? The CS agent told me that they send an email regarding this. How's that? I am on the phone with them, I asked a few times if I am going to get charge about the new modem replacement, they said "no." Take note, I was told that it wasn't their fault. So was it my fault then?!

    Back and forth over and over the agents are telling me their policy but didn't consider the fact that the reason I called was, I wasn't notified about the charge cause if I was then, I will let it go. It is only $8 but the problem is I was not aware and to me they are fraud. One agent actually hang up on me. Very unprofessional! And their customer service are not trained well. Rude and not knowledgeable enough. I requested an investigation and playback my conversation with the technical support who dealt with me when I reported my internet service problem last July or August.

    I want the $8 charge OFF in my bill not just waive for 1 month. And even though the warranty book is attached they should notify their customer about it in the sense of Service Operation Procedure. This is not the first time it happened to me and I am very dissatisfied with their service. And what happen to the old modem? If there's is no warranty for that, why did they took it? It's mine already. I told them I paid for it, I bought it and so I want it back!

    I needed to cancel my DSL service due to moving, but when I called AT&T and after being transferred numerous times explaining my situation over and over they were unable to find my account. This wasted a ton of my time and yet never got my issue to close my account resolved. Thus allowing AT&T to continue charging me for a service I was not using. Finally after digging through my boxes I found a bill with an account number and called back. I was assured she would credit me for the time I had not used the service and close my account. I was also promised a call back about new service which never happened.

    About a month later I see a charge on my debit account for $24.05 that was clearly not authorized, because my account and auto draft was suppose to be cancelled. I called today and without any exaggeration I was transferred to SIX different people for something as simple as a billing error. Highly unacceptable customer service and again a waste of my time only to finally be transferred to technical support for NO reason. I finally hung up. I can't take the incompetence of AT&T's employees any longer. This is absolutely the last account I will hold with them.

    We chose to go with a bundle package that included a $100 rewards visa card. We never got a letter in the mail (which AT&T claimed they sent) that was suppose to inform us how to claim the reward card. Whenever we called to complain, a customer service representative would tell us they would take care of it or we would be disconnected after an hour of being on hold. Once we got a hold of someone who wasn't disconnecting, we found out the rewards card expires if we do not claim it after a month. So AT&T swindled us out of $100. The only reason we chose the bundle package (which was originally more expensive) was to use the $100 card towards those bills to make it less expensive than the non bundle option. We feel like our time was wasted, our satisfaction was not their concern, and we ended up losing money because of their mistake.

I have been and stayed at our new home and the AT&T service is horrible.

    I asked them what they or we can do to get better service. They recommended I spend another $150.00 to buy some device that works off the internet and that will give my phones better service. Wow, AT&T just invented the in home non-mobile phone and I get to pay another $150.00 to get it. Yeah for me. When will all of the government people stand up for us as a group of consumers that are getting fleeced at every turn?

    This is a cell phone. It should deliver a mobile service and if it does not, then why should I be required to pay for it or pay to get out of some contract? I will in the end pay what it costs to get rid of this poor quality that I have dealt with. I guess now, I should start looking for a better satellite TV service. Since DIRECTV is now owned by AT&T, the service promises to only get worse.

    I received a statement last night from AT&T, although I haven't been an AT&T customer for years. Upon opening the statement, I discovered that I had a credit of $24.28 on my account. There was no explanation as to where this credit came from, so I called the customer service number to get some answers. I repeated "representative" to the automatic answering robot approximately 50 times before being put on hold for the next available representative, who picked up about 10 minutes later. I explained the issue and asked her where this credit came from. After asking me a bunch of security questions that I was lucky to still remember the answers to, she looked into my old account. Apparently, I had made my last payment on 10/29/2011 (FOUR YEARS AGO!) and had overpaid by $24.28. She then asked me if I remembered why I overpaid.

    I told her that I didn't even remember making that payment, let alone what the amount was... after all, it was FOUR YEARS AGO. Then she asked me how I found out that I had the credit balance in the first place. After explaining that I had just received the FIRST statement from them in four years with this credit balance on it, I asked her to please send me a check for the credit. She told me that she would have to reopen the account, make a work order, and then someone would review the account and would then PROBABLY send me a check.

    At this point, I half-seriously asked her to include the interest I would have accrued had that amount been in my bank account for the past four years. She told me this wasn't possible (Really?!?). Then I asked her to pass on my anger to the next person down the line. Since when is it okay for a company to keep an account credit for four years? I realize that $24.28 is not a huge sum of money, but it is MY money, and I want it back!

This is ridiculous, imagine how much money they are stealing from the many people who paid for their modem, and are charged these monthly fees?

Then where I live and the roads I travel and where I work, I have no signal and I am forever dropping calls. Sprint had the ability to make Wi-Fi calling and AT&T does not (WTF). This sucks because if you did, then at least 2 of these would be handled. Then I get my first bill saying that I am $177 late but with no statement on as to what the money is for. When I call you all, I get hung up on and talked down to like I am crazy for wanting to see what I am being charged for, but yet AT&T can not even tell me.

    Then I get my next bill for a grand total of $1,156. Which nowhere on the bill do I see 177 late charge from the previous bill. There is $756 for a "balance transfer." Which no one at the call center can seem to help me with. I spent 4.5 hours on the phone with them on Saturday 10/03/2015 and got transferred multiple times, hung up on a few times and left on hold a few times for a very long time, and one guy even lied straight to me and said that he was not going to put me back on hold and did it anyway. I have never been with a company that sends out a bill but cannot explain why you are being charged what is on there. This is the worst experience I have ever had and I will voice that opinion until something changes or I switch companies again.

I lose sleep at night over this and other things such as Apple's iMessage."

    Oh my sweet Randall, that is music to my ears, as well as many other thousands of AT&T users who hate your scheming ways. You see, life as an AT&T customer had been going okay for me, Randall, other than, yes my bill is a bit high, but way less than most cell phone users, and it's always without errors, but the problem, Randall, came today when I had patiently waited two years to upgrade my phone, and today was the day, Randall, I was going to walk out of that trendy hipster Apple Store holding my new iPhone 6s, in my new Toms, but you, good sir, had other plans for me. You see, my fellow AT&T rioters, now at the Apple Store you can no longer purchase an iPhone if you wish to hold on to your two year contract, and simply "upgrade" your current phone.

Us frugal two year contractors boasting our unlimited data have only one option, to purchase our phones online and wait for decades until the FedEx guy begrudgingly throws it at our front doors.

In the meantime, I will continue allowing friends, strangers, enemies, children, dogs and cats of all ages to use my retro Iphone 5 as they wish on planes, trains, cars, boats and will continue to be in the top 5% of data users each month. Why you ask? Because now I have new H&M leggings and can post my #ootd, and I'm sleeping like a baby.

    The past week my wife and I had been getting notices about our cellular data usage two weeks into our billing cycle. Here's how it played out: Notified at 75% of plan. Notified at 90% of plan. Notified 100% and over plan and will be charged $15 for an additional G. I go online to my account and look at things and try to find out more. Fruitless. Go to the chat help and explain my problem. Basically it's this. We are not using our phone any differently this month than the months before, yet our data usage is way out of line.

    Chatman suggested, we turn the data on and off when we enter or leave the house. I explain to him, again, I am not using the phone any differently and I am wondering why data usage is so high this month. I tell him "I have never had to turn my data on and off when entering or leaving the house." Chatman restates the "turn it on, turn it off" suggestion.

    We go back and forth on this a couple more times and then Chatman offers to credit my account the $15 overage fee and to give me 5G's of data. I ask him "is that for both phones." "Yes." "Fine, now can you tell me why my data usage is so abnormal." He says it should not be a problem now that I have 5G's of data. We go back and forth again. I am trying to find the cause of the usage. Chatman has solutions to my condition but not to the cause of my condition. I ask to talk via phone with someone who may be more helpful. Chatman accommodates my request and I begin a telephone conversation with another AT&T person. They are quite nice and immediately understands my concern and begins to review my cellular data usage.

    She says, "You recently changed your plan." I tell her I didn't change my plan. “It says you changed to the 5G plan.” Boom! I have just realized that Chatman was not compensating me with additional G's get me through the remaining 2 weeks of billing. He had changed my existing plan from 3G's to 5G's for good. He had sold me a new plan without telling me. I inquire how much more per month it will cost. Boom! She says $10 per month.

    I tell her I never agreed nor intended to change my plan. I was led to believe I was being relieved of any additional data overages for the remainder of my billing cycle. I intended to find the reason for the high data usage that was all. I asked her to change my plan back. I again explained to her, I am trying to find out why I am suddenly using so much data while I am using the phones the same way as we always have. Boom! She tells me about the Apple ios9 upgrade and the "Wi-Fi-assist" button. This is the first time this button is mentioned in the 1 hour I have been working with AT&T on this problem.

    I don't know if it was intentional or not. She did not reply to my request to change the data plan back. The update info makes a little bit of sense, since I did do an ios9 Apple update about 2 weeks before. Then I ask her to change my plan back and we will see if this fixes the usage issue. Another Boom! She tells me my 3G plan (which I had just 45 minutes ago) is no longer available. Stunned...

    I tell her very clearly I never intended to change plans, that Chatman never told me I was changing plans or how much the additional plan would cost. I asked for a copy of the chat dialogue between Chatman and myself since it wasn't available to me to print out once. Chatman transferred via phone. She told me one wasn't available. She told me she will make a note in my file and that someone will decide about changing my plan back and contact me in 4-5 business days. I thanked her and told her, again very clearly. If they don't return me back to my 3G plan I will cancel all my AT&T accounts and I will tell everyone I know about my experience. FYI: These conversations were very professional, cordial and respectful by all of us.

    3 areas of concerns as they relate to my experiences. 1. Does At&t expects these customer experiences and the training is to upsell more G's as a solution. They don't want to help you find how you waste data, they want you to buy more. 2. The training is poor and out of date. Why did it take an hour to learn of the "Wi-Fi-assist" switch. If the Chatman had offered me this solution first we would have been off the chat in a minute. Or a combination of all three.

    The thing that has me most upset by far, and by far I mean miles farther than the data usage overages, is the fact, AT&T says my 3G plan is no longer available moments after switching me. This happened once before a couple of years ago. Same vague switch dressed up as a solution. Their solution had nothing to do with my data usage problem.

    I moved to Myrtle Beach 2014 and it's a tourist paradise. It's not as big as Seattle but it is still considered as a city. The neighborhood that I live is close to main highway. Blind spot is everywhere if you stick with AT&T. I paid 60 every month to have 4GB of data in LTE speed. Somehow, LTE network never work in the area around my neighborhood. I had manually switch to 4G in order to use Internet. LTE logo was displayed but it wouldn't connect me to the Internet. Tried it on Galaxy s4, s3, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. People around me who use AT&T experienced the same thing! Changed SIM card and it didn't solve the problem. Sometimes the 4G wouldn't connect me to the Internet and I had to manually switch it back to LTE! This is ridiculous! No reception at all in some part of I-77? Really? Their performance is unacceptable.

    I finally switch to Verizon which is so much better than AT&T. Paying 60 every month with a new iPhone 6s 64GB which support both CDMA and GSM and sharing 3GB data with one more person! AT&Ts iPhone doesn't support CDMA but GSM only! Switch to Verizon if you care about the quality before you regret with AT&T!

    I purchased an iPhone online 5 days ago. They charged me yet cancelled my order with no explanation. I called customer service to ask why. They told me because my bill was passed due so the phone was cancelled. I said it was not late, and they said they used my payment for the next month and my current payment was late. I told them that cannot be true as that would be illegal. They agreed and said they had no idea why the order was cancelled, yet I was still being charged. After one hour on hold they told me they would give me a courtesy credit for my troubles (after practically begging) and they would be refunding my money for the phone in 3 business days or less. I called back 5 business days later as I was still being charged for the cancelled phone. They kept me on hold for "an indeterminate amount of time" waiting for a supervisor because the girl couldn't help me.

    She recommend I fight the charge with my bank, which is ridiculous. I professionally manage a bank and know this isn't how these things work. It is AT&T’s responsibility to refund me. After 1 hour and 20 minutes of begging for a supervisor she puts one on the phone. Before even introducing himself he condescendingly tells me he needs copies of my bank statement and then he'll transfer me to the Premier department to see if I really was charged. Why would I be on hold this long if I was lying? I tell him I know the Premier department is closed and he tells me it is not. He says he will transfer me. I asked “Why did the previous rep say she needed a manager approval for the refund?” if he would transfer me. He was very condescending and rude, like he was happy to say no to me.

    Finally, after asking for a warm transfer clearly and specifically so that I would not have to repeat my entire story again and him promising he'd do so, he transferred me to a line that simply said "We are currently closed" and hung up on me. I want my money back immediately. This was absolutely atrocious customer service.

    I ended my connection with AT&T after ten years due to their increase in prices. After a month, they sent me an early "termination" fee of $184. Funny thing is, I have never signed a contract with them! They established an auto contract renewal, which I have never seen evidence of or approved of. I was able to resolve the problem after spending about 30 minutes with a very kind representative. 1 month later I receive another bill from AT&T for long distance of $50. First of all, I have never called long distance. Second of all, I have NO connection with you whatsoever. So I called AT&T again.

    They transferred to one representative to the next, totaling 5 representatives who were still not able to resolve the problem. Then, I explained my situation to the final representative. She mentions all of this nonsense that I have never signed or heard of, and states the representative I talked to two months ago was inexperienced. If he was inexperienced why was he not trained properly and was able to delete the error of $184?! An "inexperienced" representative wouldn't have the power to do that. Now I have to wait five days for a manager to get back to me. Ridiculous.

    I have used my phone card and used local number to dial out US for international call. I’ve been using AT&T and this international phone company for many years and never get double charge from AT&T. I never used 011 to dial out which is I don't use AT&T line to make an international call and they scam and charged me for making international call thru their AT&T line. They reduce from $170 for 49 minutes phone call to $25 for connection fees. Are they a thief? They said they don't support 3rd party, is that right? I would like to let everyone knows that AT&T is a scam company. You should lock your international call so when you use your phone card they couldn't charge your international call period.

    Like most customers who wanted to have the latest phone, I switched to AT&T from Verizon back when the 1st iPhone came out and been stuck with them ever since. Overall, it was an ok service and lived through all the upgrades. For the past several months my service been nothing but a problem. Missing calls, text messages, poor reception, slow internet. Spend countless hours with technical support and did everything possible but the problem was never resolved.

    My contract is finally up and I was happy to cancel and go to a more reliable company with a better service and pay a lot less only come to find out one of the phones contract is ending next year (I have 3 on the account). So instead of accommodating a loyal customer over 10 years and waiving the termination fee, I'm forced to pay additional $100. This is what you should expect from their customer service. I'm furious that this is how they treated me after paying my bills on time for a decade and being forced to switch to another company due to their horrible service. I'm just happy that I won't be wasting my time and missing important business calls ever again.

Initially the receivers were at no charge and every month I had to call in for credits to be issued. Each month after a good 30 minutes on hold I eventually did get my credit but the next month the same hassle. I finally stopped calling. I just send them the same letter with my bill each month. To add insult to injury they increased the receiver fee a few months ago.

    I bought a HTC Desire Pay As You Go at Best Buy the first week of January 15 for $183 with taxes. On July 22, I called technical support because the phone was not working properly despite 2 master resets. The tech told me that the device may have a manufacturing issue and it was still under warranty. A replacement device was sent to me two weeks or less after the conversation. 3 weeks later, I received another device which turned to be my old device with a letter stating that the phone had water damage and therefore I must pay $199 for the replacement. My monthly bill was up by $223 due to the replacement phone.

    I called them back to be told that I agreed to pay that amount of the phone had water damage. I never agreed to that because the rep never suggested to check for water damage. Moreover, it is difficult and surely impossible to open the back cover. I told them that I will send back the device because it is absurd to pay $199 + taxes for a refurbished phone while the brand new phone is being sold way cheaper. I was told it is their policy and I must pay that price even if the phone originally cost less than fifty dollars. I believe that is a fraudulent tactic to sell refurbished devices to customers. This rip off tactic will continue to the finish line. AT&T and it's employees are worse than thieves in the street. There is no loyalty to customers, I will cut all their services.

    This is the never ending AT&T horror story. Back in July I called AT&T to get internet. The guy on the phone quoted me 14.95 a month for a year and no installation fee because I was a former AT&T customer. I got my first bill and it was $190. $130 for the internet per month and an installation fee. I called and was told they would fix it and they told me to pay 14.95 for that month and then it would have to be 29.95 a month for the remainder of the year. And then a couple of days later AT&T showed up to install a land line that I never requested. They said I missed my appointment with them. I was at work and never knew anyone was coming because I did not order a phone!!! Tech came out on Saturday and "fixed" what was done.

    Then I came home a couple of weeks later to a bill for $255. They never fixed the account. My wi-fi was no longer working and it kicked me to billing for me to pay the $255. They disconnected my service even after speaking with them about the bill at least 4 or 5 times, one hour at a time (at least). To make a long story short, I received another bill the other day for $60. This is for the phone they installed and for internet service. I can't take it anymore. I truly have spent about 8 hours on the phone since August with AT&T. They always say they will help and then nothing gets done. I finally talked to someone that I believe might be helping with the $255. But then I got the $60 bill so I was on the phone yesterday again trying to tell them I do not have a land line and I refuse to pay. It is amazing to me that a company can be run this poorly. Feel like no one cares. It really sucks.

I only found out because I cracked the screen cover which they can sell you for $35. I got a replacement on Amazon for $8.99. So be warned. Your iPhone insurance has a whopping deductible which they do not tell you about - until you have an issue.

Within my two year contract they tell me that I'm going over my data almost every month so they charge me an extra $100 every time. I think I paid my actual contract monthly payment only five times within two years so I've called them multiple times, reported it and they tell me it's my phone. It runs data on its own, so I took it into my own hands and turned off my data for a whole month and still somehow I went over. You tell me how that happened. It's easy, I'm being scammed by this company.

    2) They have the worst service and when I called to report this they say it's the area that I'm in or it's my phone and they told me this when I lived in three different areas and three different side to town. I get dropped calls all the time are don't receive calls or text messages and till hours later or days. 3) Their customer service is not very customer pleasing.

    I purchased an iPhone 6 in Jun 2015 from an AT&T store in Tracy, CA thinking it was brand new, 100% apple iPhone for my wife. I paid full price, cash it out. Two months later we started noticing problems with the battery dying. We called AT&T customer service several times trying to fix but no luck. They recommended taking it to an Apple Store which we did, an hour away one way. The Apple store recognized it was only three months old and was willing to replace it. They decided to open it up and see what was wrong. To our surprise, they discovered that the battery was previously replaced with an non-apple battery and is being held with white tape. They also discovered that the display had a QR code that is not on Apple displays as well. Of course this meant that they weren't going to replace the phone and that now I have to deal with AT&T.

    I called AT&T customer service letting them know I was unhappy at getting a non-apple product. They deterred me, did nothing, and told me to go back to the AT&T store. I went to the store and the manager there named Chris was acting very stupid. He had made up his mind before he even spoke to us. Just came to tell us that we were liars. He was accusing us of doing this to the phone saying that AT&T didn't sell it like this. I am extremely annoyed and disappointed at the service there.

    I told him “Why would I replace a battery on a phone under warranty? That doesn't make sense.” The phone is in like mint condition and doesn't have any signs of drops or breaks. It has been in protective screen front and back plus a cover the whole time. This phone was babied since we bought it and we got it like this from the store. I am very very very disappointed at AT&T for selling me a fake iPhone. I will report this to Apple and post everywhere. I am sure I am not the only one that this happened to.

It had a credit of $765 that I had already paid and $176.59- my monthly charges plus unknown charges of $135.41 ($765 + $176.59 + $135.41 = $1077).

    However, even after spending two hours with their second line level manager at AT&T, she did not give me an answer regarding $135.41 that is unknown. There is no explanation in my bill, except it state previous balance. I tried to understand which previous balance because I did not have any pending amount from previous bill; there was no explanation except that those charges are for taxes. I asked them about taxes on which charges, she danced around my question without addressing it. I think it a bogus charge and they themselves do not have any idea what are those charges.

    This is a complete honest review of a few instances why AT&T is a good "service" provider, but they lack customer service and are not customer orientated. I say this because if you want a company where you will have service everywhere, maybe it is for you; however, the anger, confusion, and play with your money they put you through is not worth it. I, for one, am concerned about my money.

    I signed up back in February for a new 2 year plan because I upgraded my phone to an IPhone 6. I have good credit so they signed me up for a next plan(pay off the phone through your contract with them). I had to put $40 dollars down in order to take the phone home with me and start my contract. That was no problem. We discussed GB options because with data usage you need GB. I signed up for 4 GB. The plan altogether including paying off the phone and paying for my plan with tax was running at about $120. The other plan was 6 GB estimating around $160-180. The first month ran me around $125-130. I had no problem with that, it was around my price range. I used the Internet as much as I always do. I will also include I was living in a home with complete wifi connection.

    I only used the Internet when I was out. All the time I spent home was strictly on wifi. I'm saying this because the GB is where they get you. Everytime you go over your paid GB it's $15/GB. The second month my bill was sent to me around $280. I used the Internet as much as I always do including sending pictures, using apps, using maps, etc. As previously stated, I was also using WIFI a majority of the time. I paid the bill thinking to myself, maybe I overused my internet in some way (even though it was impossible), and I will see how much my bill comes up next month. The following month came around and my bill was OVER 300 DOLLARS. Still living in a house with wifi, in the process of moving out of state almost 1000 miles away from my home. I was using my phone for finding jobs, gps, etc which meant that my phone was very important to me at the time. My bill was maybe IF THAT 3 days late.

    They shut my phone off on me. I try to call AT&T customer service to speak with them and see if I can work something out with them and they do not allow you to speak to a customer service representative until you pay your bill in full. Yes, that's correct. Unless you have money for them, the operator tells you you cannot speak to a customer service representative and won't even connect you. So at this point, I got angry and called off of my fiance's phone. I spoke to a customer service representative and told them that I did not have the full $300, but I was getting a paycheck sent to me next week from my previous job. I can advance you 60 to turn it on at the time of my call and then give them the rest next week once the check came. She was not trying to work with me AT ALL and couldn't have a care in the world about the customer.

    I couldn't go without a phone so I went to Walmart and bought a to go plan. I had the phone from my "next plan," so I bought an AT&T to go plan for $30 not knowing it didn't include Internet. However, they do advertise that you can call AT&T and add 1 GB of data for $5. I called and spoke to the operator and was able to add the 1 GB (which he supposedly activated). I go to use the Internet after the phone call and it WAS NOT WORKING. I thought maybe it took some time. I wait until the next day and it's still not working. I call AT&T the next day and the woman on the phone tells me it's in the system for my account being taken out $5 but he never activated it. Needless to say, I'm over AT&T.

    I feel like I'm an honest customer who was overcharged, uncared for, and completely written off. And I truly feel like you are only advertising your special deals right now with AT&T because you are losing customers due to your horrible business that you do with people. Might I also add, I have two other family members who have separate phone bills with AT&T that lived in the same household as me with the great WIFI connection and somehow are also being billed $300-$500. Yes I said 500 DOLLARS a month because he is supposedly "going over his data" THAT much. I think not. Stop overcharging and get your "data" together.

    AT&T talked me into getting the insurance plan, $7 a month they told me. But if I lost or cracked or broke the phone it would only be $50 to get a new one. This sounded like a good idea since the phone was for my 19 year old and was the new iPhone 6 and costs $700. One month later he broke the phone. He went into AT&T and was told they had to mail it away. No instant replacement - they ran his credit (?) and then when I got my bill they charged me $200. I just got off the phone with them and they said too bad - nothing they can do about it. I said "your employee told me $50 deductible" - they said "well it's $200."

    I just want to say I've never ever wrote a bad review in my life. This has just really pushed me overboard this morning. Pre ordering a phone to me was ordering the phone before the phone is out to everyone and receiving it before and stress free on the release date. Not with AT&T. I was up waiting on September 12th until I was able to preorder the iPhone 6s plus rose gold. I've had the iPhone 5s for 2 years and I was waiting patiently to be eligible for the newer one.

    It's now September 24th, the day before the release date and I have not gotten any email about my phone being shipped. I track the order and I see it doesn't get shipped until October 12th or anytime between then and the 23rd. Which I think is COMPLETELY wrong considering I paid $75 to PRE order the phone. And now I'm not receiving it until a whole month, basically after it's released. I pay a good chunk of money each month to stay with AT&T because I like their service. After I spoke to them on the phone for about an hour with nothing to offer me as I was completely upset and aggravated. They were not accommodating at all. Now I will decide if I want to stay with AT&T or switch to another provider.

    I just got off the phone with a guy named Ramone in the billing department and it was a very poor experience. I currently pay for internet service and a hard line. No direct TV (Relevant later). On September 1st I had a "Change of Address" from one apartment to another within walking distance in the same complex. When I first called to arrange the transfer I spoke with a middle eastern man who couldn't speak English very well. I ended up on the phone with him (most of it on hold) for 3 hours one day and 2 hours the next. He was not good at his job, but at least provided me with a good level of Customer Service. He told me that the because I could perform the installation myself that he would waive the installation fee ($100) because no AT&T person had to come do it for me. He also waived the "Change of Address" fee ($100) as well as the activation fee ($50).

    Reality is this middle easterner probably didn't have the ability to waive all these fees. But he said he would and I believed him. Once the change of address happened the service didn't work so I had to call customer service back and spoke with a foreign woman who also couldn't speak English very well for another 2 hours. She confirmed everything that had been told to me before and got the service to start working. Saying the activation fee was waived. Now my bill shows up and I'm charged for a $100 installation fee!

    I called and spoke with Ramone (Also Foreign) in billing. Long story short Ramone pulled the power card and said he had no record of my installation fee being waived even though no AT&T person stepped foot in my home. I asked him to extend customer service and do what the previous representatives said would be done. I explained to him that customer service was going above and beyond to ensure the customer's happiness. He's also clearly never heard of the phrase "The customer is always right". So he REFUSED saying "It is not AT&T's job to make the customer happy by giving them what they are not due, it is AT&T's job to give the customer what they are due. And you are due a $100 dollar installation fee." I am cancelling my service. Paying a $160 termination fee. And taking my service somewhere else.

Well the phone was sent back to me with a letter stating I'll be charged $199 for a used phone because they claim it has liquid damage. The cell phone on my contract is only worth $108 and will be less, once the monthly payment is paid for this month. It's a scam to pay monthly insurance fee if it's not worth anything.

It did not use my new account (after using it for several month).... it reverted to my old account and as a result, AT&T charged me a $30.00 NSF fee on my bill. I called and told them what happened and the rep said "I'm so sorry to hear that but there is nothing I can do to help you". She went on to say that their mistake was my fault (you read that correctly).

    I went up the ladder 2 levels and nobody was willing to remove the $30.00 NSF fee. I asked "Are you willing to lose a customer of over 4 years who has paid over $250 a month all that time over a $30 mistake on your part that you are unwilling to fix?" Each one of them told me "it's not our problem... it was your mistake".

After my numbers were ported I contacted tech support and went up to some managers. However none seems to have the authority to waive the microcell charge. Apparently they would rather lose a customer who pays over $1200 a year for a $200 box. Completely unacceptable, will notify my company to cancel all ties with AT&T!

    After getting married and moving across the country, I switched over to my husband's carrier, AT&T. I spent 4 hrs at a certified AT&T retail store, where the poor reps had to fix huge mistakes that phone reps had done. The associates were mortified with the giant mistakes that the phone reps had made. They kept shaking their heads and exclaiming to one another how horrible it was.

    After finally fixing things, the store associate then completed my transfer into my husband's account and told us our new plan would cost around $85 (including taxes and service fees). Later, after receiving our bills, we found that AT&T was now charging us $100 per month. We spoke to several phone reps, who all insisted that our bill was $100. I called the associate at the store and again, he said that what he did was correct and it should be $85, NOT $100.

    This is a crime. You cannot sell a customer a product at one price, which they agree to and then afterwards, increase the price, without their consent. The reps on the phone were clueless, rude and passed us from one person to another, forcing us to repeat our story and ultimately, disconnected us several times. Finally, we got no resolve. This is a shame. We will be quitting AT&T forever at the end of the month once my husband's contract is done.

    Nobody online or on the phone knows what they are doing. They all tell you different things. It's been nothing but maddening. They made so many mistakes in these transactions and not one single person owned up to their mistake not tried to set it straight. They know that they have you in a tight spot (since we are in a contract) and they take advantage of it. I would give AT&T a zero if it had allowed me to.

    I have been on the phone trying with them simply trying to cancel their service and it has been a nightmare! They try to make switching near impossible. My main reason for cancelling with them, I was paying 400.00 for 5 lines with 3g and T-Mobile offered 5 lines with 10g for 165.00. I was going to save so much money that I was willing to pay the cancellation fees for 3 lines that were still in contract. Every rep. that I have spoken to tells me something different, bottom line to make this story short. I paid a bill of 1095.00 for cancelling my lines and paid my bill in full (because they won't unlock my phone until I did) and one rep told me that I would be able to unlock right away.

    I tried to unlock it and surprise! of course I can't. I called them again for the 25th time it seems and the rep tells me that I had to wait 2 weeks for their system to process. So you mean to tell me I just paid 1095.00 and you still won't unlock my phone so I can use it with T-Mobile? Of course at this point I wasn't having it anymore. She said she opened a case for me to unlock my phone in 2 business days. Today is Saturday so I have to wait until Tuesday without a phone. And of course, I am not expecting this to be solved by Tuesday because they are the worst thieves and liars I have ever had to deal with.

    Textbook bait and switch tactics. Dear reader, you have been warned. To my intense and immediate regret I did not do the requisite reading of complaints about this company. We bought the phone and plan based on the attraction of a discount offered on the main website. We were very careful to verify the details which indeed did print out on the agreement in lovely black and white. Whoops, turns out that the real agreement shows up a day later when AT&T sends an email asking you to "verify" the contract.

    The order number one sees which is the same one on your printed receipt contains some new goodies, the reps you will speak with refer to it as "system generated" which is simply the AT&T method for avoiding any honest discourse on how and why they could treat a new customer so shabbily.

    I decided to switch carriers. Guess what, I found that I can get BASICALLY THE SAME SERVICE FOR ONE THIRD THE COST. In order to switch, I need to get my Samsung phone unlocked. Well, what do you know, AT&T does not unlock phones at the AT&T store. You have to call customer service. So, in summary, AT&T sells crap, and refuses to accept defective items back. If you need a simple service like getting your phone unlocked, they can't do it at the store. And the pricing for their crummy service is far above other carriers.

Keep in mind these issues are after only using 1gb of my "high speed" internet. This service is a joke and a WASTE OF MONEY.

As this is out of our budget we called your customer service and kindly requested the price be lowered for the sake of convenience and not having to transfer to your competitor who, at the time, was offering a deal of $45 for 12 months +HBO and $50 gift card an enticing offer indeed. The employee Chanee, was very professional and offered for us to keep the same price for another year namely $65+tax. We were thrilled as we had never before had issues with our services and actually wanted to stay loyal to AT&T. The following month, we received a bill that was over $80. We tried to reach out to you and clarify, but an hour-long online chat session ended up with more confusion and instructions to call your 800 number.

    And so we did, on August 18th, only to reach an employee, Christine, that was able to tell us that that's just what our price was and found no record of my conversation with Chanee. As this brought no resolution to our issue, I asked to be transferred to a supervisor and I spoke to Destiny who introduced herself as a specialist and despite my explanations of what I was calling for attempted to upsell the services. Needless to say, the timing was inappropriate and I kindly asked Destiny to help me resolve the issue I was calling about. She appeared extremely upset, raising her voice and saying that you need to let me do my job and answer my questions when I ask them. I kindly asked Destiny to transfer me to someone who is able to help me as her tone and volume were falling below the professionalism your customers deserve. She responded that she was the boss and she's the one that makes the decisions.

    I asked to be transferred to someone else again and Destiny refused roughly four (4) such requests. At that time I requested for our services to be cancelled without any penalties/cancellation fees, as any further conversation was escalating a simple issue even more. Destiny hung up on me without any confirmation about whether our services are in fact being cancelled, reviewed or otherwise. Because of this hour-long conversation that lead nowhere, I was running late for work and had no time to pursue this any further on the same day.

    The following day I discovered that a service request was pending on our online account and I attempted to have an online chat with one of your reps once again to confirm whether it was in fact a cancellation. He informed me that he could definitely tell that it was not a cancellation, but a deal/price reduction that the escalations department was preparing for us. He informed me that he had no tools to tell me exactly what it was, but assured that it would take effect in two days.

    In two days we woke up to no internet connection, and today we received a bill for $150 cancellation fee. I am hereby asking you to do the right thing and please waive this fee as it was your employees who continually failed to not only resolve this issue but pulled us into an illegal fish and bait pricing that your company had no intention to honor.

    The stories are endless with AT&T billing... but this past month tops it and can't wait for the contract to end. AT&T opted to change the billing due date. Sure AT&T Change the due date this summer while people are most likely away on vacation. Your advance notice was hardly adequate (less than 30 days). I had a due date on the 19th. Returning on vacation 13th of the month. I was going to my bill by the 19th. On the 18th I was notified that my service was stopped. PAYMENTS have always been up to date. AT&T stated I didn't pay my bill in time. Really? So playing by their pathetic rules I was 6 days late and your service gets cut off. $40.00 to reinstate the service.

    Back in March of 2015, my husband and I were eligible to upgrade our phones because we were at the end of our 2-year contract with AT&T. We purchased new phones and during the process, the sales clerk somehow changed my plan from unlimited data (which I had been on since starting out with AT&T many years ago) to 3 Gb of data. Because I never exceeded the 3 Gb's of data which would have shown up on my bill as an additional charge, I was unaware of this change to my contract (of course my monthly bill wasn't reduced when I was stripped of my unlimited data). Last month I contacted AT&T to inquire about adding another line/device to my "Family Plan", and this is when I learned of the change that had been made to my contract without my knowledge or approval. It was a simple mistake made by the sales clerk and nobody was aware of it until 5 months after it occurred.

    So, AT&T customer service agents are telling me now that it is too late for them to reinstate my unlimited data, because this needed to be brought to their attention within a 3 month period of time (but I explained that I can't bring an issue to their attention when I am not aware that the issue exists). AT&T is still billing me for the same monthly charges as when I was on the unlimited data plan, though I no longer have unlimited data, but rather 3 Gb's of data.

    This was an accidental change that I never agreed to because I was never aware that it had occurred. AT&T will not reinstate my unlimited data and they refuse to lower my monthly charges for the data I'm no longer getting (I'm being forced to pay for something I'm not getting), for the duration of my 2-year contract which was just renewed in March of this year. AT&T's practice of charging for a service not being provided is not only unethical, but must also be a violation of some regulation regarding billing a customer for something they are not receiving.

    Highly dissatisfied! Switched TV service after visiting AT&T store. Sales representative assured us DirecTV was wireless and could move TVs outside etc and there would be no additional installation fees. When DirecTV technician arrived we were charged an additional $99 installation fee. I called customer service and after being transferred FIVE times and a 75 minute call, I was informed by the technical department that the sales representative was incorrect and it's a sales tactic used to sign people up for service. I call this FRAUD.

    She also informed me I signed a binding contract for 2 years and even though service only began 2 days ago that I could not get out of my contract. She didn't care that we are dissatisfied and could care less if I went with Google Fiber because AT&T will most likely be buying them out as well. This was my original fear with switching services over to AT&T and past customer service experiences. I do not recommend AT&T to anyone. I wish I would have gone with my instincts of switching to Verizon and different internet provider. Can't wait for my 2 year contract to be up!!!

    AT&T has got me in a pretty dire financial situation. This all started in June 2014 when I gave the 3rd line of my phone plan to a coworker. He was to take the phone and start his own line for him and his girlfriend. Instead AT&T did something called "splitting the plan" - what that means is that instead of starting a plan in his name with his social security number, they used mine. Something I did not consent to. In fact I didn't know about this phone plan until months later.

    5 months go by until one day my phone doesn't work at all. I place a call to AT&T to figure out the issue. They tell me I'm past due on my account. I ask them to double check because I had just paid in full. The customer service rep checked into it and said "yes, this account is in full." That's when I found out what had happened. Since this account I never asked for or consented for was past due, I become financially responsible and my phones will be shut off the balance is paid on his account. Now I'm paying 2 phone bills just to keep mine on so I don't lose my job.

    To get this switched out of my name that person is gonna have to pay a $500 deposit. He can't even pay his phone bill let alone a deposit. So my best option is to cancel the lines. That also is gonna be expensive. He financed 2 expensive phones so to cancel service I will have to pay these off. The installments for each phone $267 each.

    For the second time in a year AT&T had allow a company name USBI to get my information and put themselves in my bill under AT&T. USBI company, it's a scam that has a class action against them and AT&T allow them to operate (I think USBI, it's own by AT&T). AT&T refuse to remove or take out that company from the bill and forcing the customer (us) as the only solution to call USBI company accepting the charges and make a cancelation to get a confirmation number. It means the customer (us) is obligated to cancel something that never was order by the customer (us) and then after that AT&T force you to pay the charges for that month and tell you that they can't offer you the same rates that your original had, it will increase now on.

    AT&T base the conversation saying that USBI have a recorded conversation with the customer (us) but not either AT&T or USBI had ever provide one to us. I have call many times and USBI says they will sent it and never does and AT&T don't have one, they keep saying to call USBI to hear a recording. It's exhausting, it's a waste of money, time, energy.

    I was a AT&T customer for a long time. I recently went into a AT&T store to revise my plan. I added 3 more lines to my account. We had some upgrades that we did and bought more phones etc. I was told at the store what my rates would be for each month. I was told that my monthly bill with all taxes and charges etc would not exceed the 260.00 a month. Well guess what, my first month's bill was 474.00 not even close to what the salesman told me when we were at the store. The second month's bill was 365.00. I was hopping mad at this point and made the call to AT&T. It took a couple of phone calls and hours on the phone. They tried to tell me the salesman made a mistake and I was told wrong. But that doesn't justify the costs. I would have never signed that contract if I was told it was going to be 474.00 the first month and 365.00 the next. I'm now locked into this contract and they won't honour the costs I was told at the store.

    They tried to take off some fees that were included in the original sale at the time and said the best they can do is get me to 313.00 a month. They wouldn't return the 214.00 for the first month and approx 100.00 for the second month. I tried 3-4 times on different occasions plus the survey people called me and gave me the same nonsense everyone else tries to give me at AT&T. This company should be ashamed of how they treat their customers. I will never ever recommend anybody to AT&T. We are in the midst of now cancelling our company phones of 20 phones. All I'm asking for is approx 300.00 in credit or future bills to be deducted. And of course the 260.00 a month I was promised with all taxes and fees etc. Bad company, bad service and bad sales reps at the store.

    I am on an AT&T Next plan with the LG G3. My warranty just ended last month and out of nowhere my phone starts turning off randomly. A few days later it constantly restarts, flashing the LG Life's Good screen (not with them). The only time my phone is functional is if I leave it plugged into the charger. I took it to the store and they wanted me to have my parents (authorized users) to get into my account to find out if I had a warranty. I called them and then logged onto their account to find out my warranty just ended. The rep said to call tech support. I called them, but was then told that I needed to call from a different phone. I don't have two ** phones and my roommate was out of town. I talked to a live chat rep and they said I needed to factory reset the phone.

    So Monday, LABOR DAY, I call and ask if the store was open today, "Yes sir, we're open until 9 pm today." Ok cool. So I drive to the store around 6:30 pm and they were closed!!! There is a sign saying they would close at 5 pm for Labor Day! Freaking kidding me?! I finally get to the store today and after a factory reset the phone did the same thing. So after talking to insurance ($7/month for mine) they said I would have to pay $100 to get it replaced. No matter if it was a minor problem, I wouldn't get any money back from the deductible. So then fortunately I find out I am due for an upgrade and get all of the details after about an hour and a half worth of talking to another chat rep.

    After that I finally decided to do some Google searching on the problem I was having and it seems to be a problem with the recent Lollipop update. 4-5 miserable days of dealing with these guys to find out what could have taken 5 minutes - a possible update problem. Terrible customer service, except for Chino, he was a great live chat rep. It was a long chat log, but he answered all my questions. The in store reps are terrible, unfriendly, lazy, unhelpful, and it's mostly because of how the company is being led. They are trying to screw people over by changing their plans all of the time, trapping people in fine print and red tape. Will leave quickly and gladly as soon as I can get out of a contract.

    We have been customers of AT&T for many years and have had minor issues with our service in the past. We've had the occasional irritation with the constant door-to-door selling during dinner time to let us know about a 'fiber-optic' upgrade in our neighborhood, only to then be pressed into answering questions about who our cable/phone service is though. We also had kindly dismissed the anticipated cross-sell attempts for services we don't use. As individuals who are in sales, we understand that this is a sad intuition yet uncontrollable approach to sales these days.

    Recently we upgraded our internet speed and were quoted a monthly rate without a promotion. We had AT&T install and were set; very pleased with the individual who came to our home, as well as the end product of internet speed. However; our first bill was quoted $65 more! When we called to have the error rectified, we were told they saw the error and that if we paid this bill (since it was due) they would make the adjustment going forward which would then essentially lower each month's bill, as we had "overpaid". Not true. The individual never adjusted our bill and our second month's bill was just as much, this time $60 more.

    I decided to call with enough time to pay this bill and was told (after being on hold and spending more than 30 minutes on the phone) that they saw the error, they would "credit" our account and that the bill would reflect this the next day online. This rep was able to quote the original price we were quoted before install without a promotion. I wait to pay 3 days, log online, and the bill is AGAIN not adjusted. I then call - absolutely frustrated - now the 4th call regarding this new service to have issue adjusted. I am told there are no notes regarding this price, adjustment, even our calls. There is one note that states a higher price was quoted to us.

    I can say on a personal level that this woman's approach was extremely inappropriate - she asked me questions regarding the bill as if I was trying to snake my way through a price discount, kept me on the phone for 40 minutes to review the "no" notes on our account, and then tell me that I'd have to speak to someone in their customer loyalty department. The next rep told us they were not able to give us our original price without a contract and that there were also, no notes. Mysterious... Throughout all of this we have kept notes, names, even CONFIRMATION numbers. No one seems to know what's going on. Each call is at least 20-40 minutes long. We are constantly being transferred. Some seem to see these notes, others do not. At one point an individual transfers me to a Spanish line that I am unable to attempt to speak my way out of over the phone. What is the deal?!

    Overall, this company would receive 0 stars from us. As loyal customers for as long as we have been able to have a phone or internet provider we have paid our bill on time, treated them with kindness and understanding as they come to our home during dinner or take up more of our personal time on the phone to answer simple questions, have given them ALL of our business. If you're able to go with a local provider, do it. You will most definitely not regret paying even $50 more per month to not waste your time or go through the hassles we have gone through.

I waited endless amounts of time for service technicians that would never show. I was overbilled and double billed, then had my services disconnected because they had me paying two open accounts. When they finally refunded me what they owed me they then double charged me again the next month.

    After I FINALLY fixed that issue with them they then proceeded to overcharge me stating I had gone over my "usage" but when I had signed on with them I did not get to I had limited usage. The customer service rep I spoke to was very rude and did not offer to help in any way but asked if I would like to cancel my services. And that is EXACTLY what I choose to do, he did not have to ask me twice. So moral of the story is if you are thinking about choosing AT&T as your provider PLEASE do not. Pay a little bit of extra money and choose Xfinity so you can receive the customer care you truly deserve for the money you pay.

For billing purposes, after my mother-in-law passed away last year, I attempted to transfer the account from her name into my name. Several customer representatives have dealt with my account, yet have progressively made the situation worse, including completely editing my plan without authorization. AT&T has gone as far as to charge me multiple times for the same billing cycle. When I requested to speak with supervisors I was told none were available, and on more than one occasion was disconnected.

    After years of loyalty to the company and impeccable payments, AT&T refuses to assist me with my account in a professional and courteous manner. I have spent countless hours speaking to (and on hold with) untrained customer service representatives. And The lack of respect and professionalism from AT&T is astounding, and I will very likely be taking my business and hard earned money elsewhere.

    I have a bundle plan. The price is increasing every month! Recently I was charged $9.00 because I was told I had requested my due date be extended. This is not true! AT&T just adds whatever charges they want to charge! So sick of this! I have a contract with them that will expire soon and I am no longer an AT&T customer! I have friends and neighbors who are as disgusted with AT&T as I am!

    I have been with AT&T for 7 years now. In all honesty I only regret the last 3 or so. They were great when I signed up, and for the first few after. In the state I live in the coverage map has never changed the entire time I have been with them. One would think that it would expand, the coverage has been reduced significantly in the last years. I initially thought I had a device issue as did the technical team at AT&T. After 4 new phones and countless new sim cards I along with the tech team figured out that all of the towers in the areas that I use my phone have degraded to the point of total disrepair. All of that being said I am still required to pay off my next contracts on 2 of 4 lines, even though I am not the one whom is not living up to my end of the deal.

    I would be happy to just pay my bill and use my phone if I could, however if the towers don't work that will never be possible. In summary I would be very mindful and do some research about coverage before locking in for 2 years with these thieves. Best of luck. All I know all cell companies are always looking out for number one. Cheers.

    I called AT&T to see if I could go to prepaid and they told me that it was going to cost me $4,000 to change my service. On top of it I told the lady that I could not afford my contract anymore cause my bill kept going up and up every month. So sick of the crap from them. I will be leaving and they can shove the $4,000 where the sun don't shine. I will never have any of my family or friends go to this company for phone service.

    We have been an AT&T customer for over 15 years. We have 3 U-verse accounts with them. We continue to set up auto payments and they continue to say we have not paid. They then overbill us for non payment after we set up auto payments. The agents are a bunch of pathological incompetent idiots with no idea what to look at or how to add. This company needs to have actions taken against it. The customer can not continue to be royally screwed.

    I've been with AT&T as a phone service and I guess it's no worse than any others except for their website. I've spent hours on something that should have only taken a few minutes - Ordering a new phone. For the first few hours I had to convince them the product existed. Then I had to call and talk to a live person which was very nice. But then when it came down to actually making the purchase (color, size, model) the website kept trying to change the size and color on me. If I wasn't observant I might have bought the wrong phone and it would have been the website making that choice for me.

    I looked for a comments section to bring this to the attention of someone who cares about the website. Apparently, no one cares. No way to bring this to anybody's attention. Guess I don't buy a phone and website stays broken. Stupid policy. No feedback. Very wise AT&T. And you wonder why people are unhappy. They are flipping frustrated. I'll go with Best Buy then.

    For four days, four of us spent time (mostly on hold) on the phone trying to get AT&T out to activate an outside phone jack. Hours and hours were wasted and I am still on the phone today trying to get a technician out. AT&T's frontline people are not trained well enough to be in customer service. Each of us tried to get transferred to a supervisor without success. For this particular call, I have been on for 33 minutes (mostly on hold) and still cannot get transferred to a supervisor. I seriously despise this company! We need more landline companies to encourage competition instead of a company that could care less because they have a monopoly on the land lines. I finally got confirmation that a technician was to be out before 5pm today. I am very sceptical that the gentleman said that to just get me off the phone... we shall see.

    I left Verizon after years of service because AT&T made a pitch that was irresistible! They were going to be cheaper with better phones. No contract really, just an 18 month plan and everything I was told was a HUGE lie!!! Turned out to be more expensive... hidden charges... and I am waiting impatiently for my Christmas bonus so I can pay them off and be done with them! Nightmare service, nightmare charges, nightmare experience, period. Don't go to AT&T!

    My ongoing saga with AT&T Uverse and Internet customer service is far too long to recount. I will say our issues have been ongoing for months. We have had more than 6 technicians out in less than 6 months, we have been forgotten when tech calls were scheduled, lied to - yes, we had one agent tell us the other agent was "not being honest with you", called liars in so many words, hung up on, placed on hold with no agent ever returning to call and simply told "that's just how it works."

    Today, after not receiving a promised "call from a supervisor" regarding what credits would be applied to our bill given the ongoing disruptive service, our service was shut off and a $49 fee charged to account. I called C/S yet again, spent 57 minutes on the phone and ended up just saying turn it off and leave it off. I will not continue to allow AT&T to waste my time and money. They have EARNED every bit of their reputation as a company who CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE about customer satisfaction and retention.

    DO NOT BECOME AN AT&T CUSTOMER!! This company has lousy customer service and doesn't care about their customers. They tell you one thing and then charge you for another. The coverage area has gotten worse every year that I have been with them. I was a customer for 8 yrs and have been on a month to month contract for the last 6. When I cancelled my service, they charged me a $105 early termination fee and said that one of my five lines was put on to a 2 yr contract and that there was nothing they could do about it. My recommendation is stay away from this company and if it's too late, get out while you can!

    There was a special promotion on iPhones at a store for $200 which is a very good deal. I decided to shop around some more and talked to At&t which offered to match that in addition to more savings. We did not agree to a contract yet but they sent me the iPhone regardless without my permission. I get the phone along with the contract later and it turns out none of the promotions they offered were on the contract and they expected me to pay full price. To top it off, when I try to cancel and send the phone back they tell me that my "buyer's remorse" period has expired because it began when they actually sent me the phone! I do not care what these bandits try to do to me, they will not get a single dime. I will go to a court of law if I have to. They are horrible company with a horrible reputation.

    How does a huge communications company not be able to communicate?? 2 hours today to get my username. 4 operators later, disconnected. I made the last one take my phone number to call me back if we were to get disconnected 3 hours ago. Their incompetence is second to none (or maybe Comcast). Nice operators. Management should be shot. I pray they don't screw up DIRECTV as they have great service. If you have an option from AT&T, TAKE IT. Just a matter of time before they screw with you.

    I know that AT&T will do nothing about this as they don't care and are too big to care. I have been with AT&T/Cingular since 1995. Just google the word AT&T ripoff and see all that pops up. I am eligible for an upgrade for 3 family plan phones. I chose the 2 year contract and was shown an absolutely free phone (note 4) online. Then I was told that by upgrading I would lose my $75.00 total credit per month. So in 2 years using the next plan, I would lose a total of 1800.00 or 600.00 for each FREE phone. They want everyone to be on the next plan as this is how they make money but what they say is that some people don't like contracts (I do). I was told by sales online that if I pay 1958.00 and buy the phones outright I would keep my credit of 75.00 per month (this is paying 150.00 more than with the next plan).

    This system is not much different than all the money being made by car dealers with 7 year car loans. AT&T does not learn its lesson well. They had roll over, took it away, then years later brought it back. They had unlimited data, made us buy blocks of data, and now are giving huge data packages for little money. So eventually AT&T will go back to giving a choice of contract or no contract which it does not have at the moment essentially. Are Americans really this stupid? I think so if they fall for the next plan without doing homework.

    I have been an AT&T wireless customer for 12 years (share plan with 5 phones). 3 days ago, I received an official firmware update on my Samsung S3 which I installed and upon restarting, noted that the settings area of the phone were not legible, the firmware was corrupted. Also, the phone was unstable. I contacted technical support 4 times over the course of 3 hours. It was the worst customer service experience I have had in years. After the third time, I spoke with a supervisor and she could care less about how long I had been a customer and that the problem was created by the firmware update.

    My phone is out of warranty and although they are responsible for the failure, I would need to buy a new phone. She then forwarded me after I did not accept her resolution to Samsung and although they accepted this fact, they said that I would be charged $70 to send in the phone for repair. I am cancelling my account with AT&T and will never do business with them again, nor will I ever buy another Samsung product.

    AT&T has got to be the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Our internet installation was originally set up for Monday August 17th. They cancelled that time and rescheduled to Wednesday the 26th, and did not tell me until less that 24 hours before then. I called and complained so they rescheduled it to Friday the 21st between 1 and 3. At 2:45 I called to see where the technician was and they said "oh, we have you down for the 26th?!" If this was not a bundled package with our DirecTV I would tell them to forget the whole order. Only go with AT&T if you have two weeks to wait for your internet. Would be less than 1 star if I could.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! I have been an AT&T/SBC customer for over 20 years. I recently changed from landline to U-verse as a result of a telemarketing call. Prior to converting to U-verse, I had paid my bills via automatic deduction for over 10 years. When I converted to U-verse, AT&T split my combined landline/wireless services payments. This resulted in AT&T claiming I was late on my wireless bill. I reviewed my bank account and found AT&T actually deducted funds from my account. I called AT&T to discuss the issue. I spent over 5 hours and three days on the phone with various representatives discussing the problem. It appears that AT&T has creative accounting practices. The representatives claimed that AT&T prepays my wireless bill and then take the funds out of the next month's bill payment to cover the funds they previously paid.

    What company pays anyone's bills for them?? Three AT&T representatives saw the mistake and transferred me to the Account Receivable Department to refund my overpayment. However, the Account Receivable Department representatives (including 3 supervisors) swore there were no overpayments. They claimed that my July payment was applied to the May bill. The July payment was to cover the funds paid in advance by AT&T on my wireless bill. I finally gave up. How many people have they ripped off? I will not cancel all my AT&T accounts and will NO LONGER deal with AT&T.
