When I completed my Apple/iOS system update, evidently all my settings were updated and I no longer auto-joined known Wi-Fi networks. I didn't notice this change right away, and then 1 day before my billing cycle ended I was charged $20 for additional data which didn't roll over the next day when my billing cycle started over. This is a conspiracy between Apple and AT&T. All my auto-join Wi-Fi passwords and connections were reset so that I had to rejoin all of them. Just a scam between both companies. How much is Apple paying you AT&T or is it the other way around??? FCC needs to investigate this fraud!!!

Me and my wife recently had internet. She had it in her name. When we first got the internet it was $21, then it went up to $23 and so on till it was at $46!!! So we canceled it and try to get a promotional offer that was a phone and u-verse for $35 so we said, "Ok." The first two bills were $65 so we called and they had no record of anyone giving us a contract for the promotional! And then they said, "Well, we can give you just the internet for $21 if you send a phone back," but during the conversation we got disconnected. I call back, then they say, "For just internet it's $51!"
I ask to speak to a supervisor... I sat on the phone with it just ringing for 10 minutes. I call back, and just ask for a copy of my contract to be emailed to me... the person says it's gonna take 2 hours for them to do that and then puts me on hold with no notification, where I sat on the phone for another 10 minutes. They never answered. We gave up and looked for another internet provider and cancelled AT&T. It was like they were fighting us about it? Sprint was another ordeal I had to go through. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND EITHER ONE OF THESE COMPANIES. Avoid at all cost!!!

I have been with AT&T 10+ years, never had problems until I switched to Samsung galaxy and new plan. Charges for data - 20.00 for 500mb, overcharges gave me a galaxy pad for free (cost 40.00 to hook up 10.00 month but they add it like it's a second phone). My service was suspended late 4 days, paid bill in full online. Dialed 611 no help since my service suspended, I thought you could talk regardless. Used a friend's phone to call, got disconnected twice said my account was turned over to collections. Really. 4 days late. Tried calling back on friend's phone, now her phone is synced to mine number and can't talk to anyone now. What kind of crap is going on with AT&T. Rip off and they make it impossible to solve any problems. I'm not happy. I'm furious.

Was lied to 3 times about the time I would find out about service. Stayed on this 3 hours in 4 days trying to get an answer. Told them my neighbors had their service but was told not available in my area. Finally gave up and realize this was a blessing not to get their service. Would not recommend them.

I talked to a AT&T rep who gave me $25 credit to resolve my issue on an error on their part on my bill and my bill was $19 so I didn't pay my bill last month since I got the $25 credit. I just found out they decided to take back the credit and not give to me and not honor their word to me and then they also charged me a $5 late fee! I talked to another agent who was rude and dismissive and called me a liar. I was on hold for a long time and they said a manager would call me back and of course, no callback. How can you not honor your word to a 10-year customer? I don't want to pay what I don't rightfully owe!

I don't recommended AT&T to no one. I'm in the grandfather plan which means I have the unlimited data plan but now if I go over a 2G my internet doesn't work. And that's not all, they are supposedly changing everyone's payment due date to the first. My monthly bill ends on the 12th of each month, I receive my bill on the 17th and is due on the 1st. I don't even get a whole month to pay my bill and after the 1st, they charge a $5.00 late fee. I will definitely be changing to another phone company. Oh and now my calls be dropping a lot lately. AT&T is a horrible phone company.

AT&T is not a good cell phone company. After you sign up with them, they slowly increase your bill. Also they will not work with you to pay your bill. So if you are over due and won't get paid for a couple days you should look into getting a different cell phone thru a different company because your AT&T phone will most likely be shut off. I go thru AT&T but I am going to cancel out because they are terrible and they have terrible customer service.

AT&T changed my billing cycle which added an additional 116.00 to an already 300.00 a month cell phone bill for two phones. Now they expect me to pay a whooping 432.00 phone bill then start back paying 300.00 a month. I've been an AT&T customer over 6 years. I've always paid 300 a month. I'm getting really tired of talking to customer service who really don't know what they are talking. They just reading the bill to you that you have already read. I refuse to pay for something I didn't authorize in the beginning. 116$ for 6 days of service. Really!!!!!

I just talked to AT&T customer service. I canceled my services with them on 06.22. On 07.10 I paid my bill. At the end of July I got last bill stating that I have credit of around $80 on my account. Today I called in to see when check will arrive. They told me that they do not owe me anything. Apparently I read letter wrong. CR- doesn't mean that it's credit and that they owe me money. They did confirm that we pay month in advance. I stated why if I paid month in advance and use service only for 7 day I do not receive credit? How is it fair that I paid $90 for 7 days of services? She couldn't answer me.
I canceled service in the middle of the billing cycle, but nobody owes anybody! Absurd! I believe it's unfair practices. When I canceled services before with other companies, like Comcast and Verizon, and always revived check, because we always pay in advance, so when services get canceled you revive money back for unused days of services. At&t get your story straight!

I have AT&T cell phone service for years and last month when my bill came the due date was moved up by over a week. When I contacted them they talked me into "trying" Uverse said I would only pay $144 a month for home phone unlimited, internet faster and unlimited, TV with all the channels and HD, DVR etc... I agreed to "try" the services for a month but I did not want any of my other services turned off. When the installer arrived he told me that my package was not as I was told and that he didn't know anything about only trying the service and still keeping my old service. I call them back prior to anything being installed. Tracy in Atlanta Ga assured me that everything I was promised was true.
After the installer completed the job and was showing me the TV features I noticed right away the picture was not in HD... Installer showed me where I had to pay $10 more a month for HD. When I called AT&T back Vicky in Cleveland Oh told me I would have to pay extra for HD and I would only get the movie channels for 3 months then it would be $18 for each of them a month. WHAT! I told the installer I don't want the service so he removed all the AT&T equipment and told Vicky that I was refusing the service. He told me that it should not affect any of my existing services. Soon after he left I had no phone service!
I contacted my home phone provider who informed me that AT&T now owned my phone number! I had this phone for 20 years. I never gave them permission to switch it! It has been over a week now and I am still trying to get my phone number back and my phone working. I also found out I am being charge for the Uverse service I never received! I am ready to get new cell phone service now! AT&T lies to their customers and should NEVER be trusted! When is anyone going to stop them?

Spent three hours on the phone with customer service reps including supervisors that were two levels up from those who answer the phones. They are UNABLE to explain why I'm being billed TWICE in a month. They changed the billing dates for all customers but these guys cannot explain the bill in a way that will help the customer understand it. I made the August payment per the normal (past) billing date (early in the month), yet I still have a full bill due the end of the same month! I made a bill payment the previous month, and I'll STILL have a bill the next month too!!! That is FOUR payments spanned over a three month period.
Make sense??!! Maybe if you're trying to stiff your customers into making extra payments it does. They wound up trying to tell me that I was a month behind, yet I've made FULL payments, have confirmation numbers, and have phone texts verifying ZERO balance after each payment, for every month for the past two years!!! So how's that??! Not to mention the fact that past due bills have nothing to do with the main issue.

I mailed a payment, they applied it to old account sent me a refund check. Called they said they would apply credit my account. Next month same thing, hours on the phone trying to clear it up. They do not document phone calls. The worst customer service ever. New bill has original charges and they want me to pay twice, even though they have the money and have voided the check. Never mind not removing late charges. Now they have me on hold again (two hours today). I can not get someone in charge or the same person twice and they do not communicate with each other, so every time I have to explain the situation again. Is there somewhere that I can file a complaint?

I have 8 months remaining with my AT&T service commitment and want to switch my phone and phone number to a new carrier. AT&T Website and AT&T Service Chat say that I need to pay an Early Termination Fee ($175). However the only way to do it, is to first transfer the phone number to the new carrier, then get billed for the $175, then pay, then request a device unlock which may take from 24 to 72 hours. In other words for up to three days, I would be without phone: the phone number is with the new carrier and the phone is locked to AT&T! I offered to pay the $175 upfront, get the phone unlocked, and then switch carrier. AT&T will not accept that. I wonder to what extent this violates point 12 of the "Consumer Code for Wireless Services".

We moved out towards the country side of town & went through 2 different cell providers before finally going with AT&T because we couldn't get good service. We were ecstatic about getting AT&T because we could finally use our phones! That's is until our bill came! We have not had a bill under $350 since we signed the contract with them!! For two phone lines!!! Every month we call raising hell, only to get excuse after excuse about the bullcrap charges on our bill!! Not to mention that if you're under WiFi, but don't have your data completely shut off, you still incur data charges!! We've even had $700 bills! This company is crooked & I would never recommend them no matter how good the reception is!!

After the first year, I was offered a continuation of my promotional rate because I was going to cancel. THEY "somehow" neglected to add it to my record so I was overcharged. Each month they promised to correct, & give me credit. They never did. I called for 10 months straight until I finally decided to complain to the BBB and the FCC.
The thing that got me was that the reps ALL promised the same thing month after month. A MANAGER would have to call thought I was speaking to a supervisor. Each time they promised, the next month would be like I never explained it. IT WAS EXHAUSTING. But because the CS reps were so good, I didn't cancel. But each month the same outcome promises, more promises never corrected. Even after 10 months and all the notes being reviewed AT&T finally just gave up on me. They said I would have to sign a contract for the next year in order to get a promo rate. They said they would no longer promise to refund my money (they only refunding it 1 out of every 4 promises anyway). I told them on almost every call that they must be doing this to a lot of people because it seemed systemic. I am now looking to build a coalition of people who have been treated unfairly as I have so we might get compensated for their overages.

I have had AT&T Wireless service for 14 years. I was grandfathered in and able to keep my truly unlimited data. Over the past year AT&T has been fighting to get me to change plans. I have not changed addresses for the past 3 years, but suddenly my service just drops to the point where I can't make calls or send texts without standing in a specific place. Sometimes even when I go outside the house I have only one bar. When I call to complain, they say "oh, you have to get one of our at home wireless boxes, and then you will have to sign up for a different plan." They have been saying this or similar things over the past year, clearly attempting to force me to get rid of my unlimited data plan.
Based on other reviews I have read, I am not the only person they are doing this to. I do not trust them and will be changing to a different service. So I guess, they get what they want, but they will not be getting anymore money from me on a monthly basis. I wish there was something I could do to prove they were purposely downgrading my reception as a means to get me to change plans.

I am currently appointed in one foreign mission from Europe in USA. I would like to inform about the recent dispute my Office has with the AT&T provider. Namely, yesterday in our office we received an invoice for long distance call for almost $3700 for one month (06/16-07/16). We find that very disturbing and fraudulent. No one from this office has signed and agreed to pay long distance fees under those conditions. The company has never notified the Consulate about the rates that will apply from using their services. The AT&T during the one month period, has charged us with enormous high rates for which no one has in charged them. We do not plan to be involved in the judicial disputes over this matter. We think this is huge mislead and scam. We have no such amounts available for telecommunication services or anything that will arise from this.
After a 2 week communication with their agents, their answer is that nothing was wrong with the rates and that the bill should be paid. We asked from them to adjust the rates and pay the reasonable bill. No answer from them. This Office abides the US and International Laws and works according to them and always strive towards maintaining good relation to the US authorities, businesses and community. The Consulate General of Macedonia will very much appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. This matter will affect our work and jeopardize the further existence to this Mission in US. However if there is no answer from them, we have no intention to pay such a amount.

In March 2015, with two of three phones out of contract, I spoke with AT&T who offered me LG-G3 phones for a similar amount of about $123.00 - the amount I was paying at the time, if I enter into a 2-YR contract. In April I received a bill for $172.41 (more than what was agreed). I contacted them on April 20 and spoke with Roelly who gave me a conditional credit of $47.48 and said to me that someone from the Corporate Office will contact me on April 25 to resolve the issue. No one contacted me.
The difference of $124.93 was paid. In May I was billed for $177.69 of which $123.58 was paid, leaving a disputed balance of $54.11. Having spoken with several people I was unable to resolve the matter. As a result, in frustration, I left. The service was cancelled on June 09. I am now being billed for $1,349.78 of which 226.52 (past due) +1,123.26 (termination fees) of which $1,120.00 in termination fees were paid. Up till today, I spoke with several other people including supervisors but still haven't been able to resolve the issue. I will appreciate it very much if you can help me to resolve this matter.

So far, I have had a terrible experience trying to work with AT&T Customer Service (Retention Dept.). In trying to solve a rate problem, I have spoken to four different people and none of them seem to know what they are talking about. Two have recommended a wireless device to lower my rates and solve my problem. However, this will not work with a virtual tie line number located at AT&T. Two times, to date, I have lost connection with the retention employee without a return call. I have so far spent about three hours on this problem with no resolution. Does AT&T really care about its long term customers?

I called to close my account since I was moving my office. It took 10 phone calls to finally close the account and stop all billing. While I had the account it went up an average of $5 per month, starting at a billing amount of $35 and ending at a whopping $174 in 6 years. Finally the 9th and 10th person I talked to were helpful. Hopefully now all billing will stop and the account is closed. Time will tell.

I had an AT&T phone when I retired. I wanted to keep the phone number and move to another carrier and I had to set up an AT&T account for this to happen. I called AT&T and explained the situation. I specifically asked if the charges would be prorated for the short time that I would have the account active and I was told yes that the charges would be prorated. I transferred the service within two weeks to another carrier.
I received a high bill from AT&T. I called to try and get the final prorated billing amount before I paid the bill and I was told that the prorated amount could not be determined until after the end of the month and that I would receive a credit the next month. The next month bill did not show any credit, just no charge since the account had been closed. I called again and was told that some of the charges were in the current month and that the final charge could not yet be determined. This was after long hold times and a supervisor who was supposed to call me back who never called.
After another month and no word from AT&T, I called again. Initially I was told that because I ported the service to another carrier AT&T would not give me a refund. Again I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was told that they would call me. They did not call. I called back again and after extensive time on hold again, I was transferred to the cancellation department. They just kept apologizing and saying that AT&T did not prorate final bills and that since the account was closed there is not anything that they can do. There was nothing that they could do even though I had clearly been told that the charge would be prorated. Obviously AT&T just misleads customers and extends out the complaint process and counts on customers giving up to add money to their bottom line. I would like to give AT&T less than one star, but that seems to be the lowest rating allowed.

Let's start with the store: the commission system makes them say anything including lies to sell you the product or service. I was told that if I buy the phone outright, it would be unlocked and all I needed to do was make a simple phone call or go online to unlock it. Guess what? It's not. They require you to have service with them for 6 months before they allow you to unlock it. If you try to return the phone, you pay a restocking fee even though it is the misinformation provided by the sales rep that had us buy the phones.
The second gotcha: you can't roam with their GoPhone so I was advised to switch to postpaid so that I can have roaming and switch back to prepaid later. I did that and got billed almost $180 for about 3 days of service. I was told not to worry and that the next (and final bill) would reflect a net credit because I had transferred my balance in going from prepaid to postpaid and they bill ahead etc. My final bill did show a credit but it also showed a late fee. So I was expected to pay the $180 for 3 days of service to avoid a late fee when I knew that in the end I would have a credit.
Now here is the worst part: I have a credit on my postpaid account that is closed more than two months ago and was told that the "check is in the mail". Today I called for the umpteenth time and was told that "no, there will be no refund because money transferred from prepaid to postpaid is nonrefundable". Well why didn't anyone mention that before? Why were they telling me my refund check would be mailed after my final bill? The other thing is the automated customer service. It is awful and it takes forever to get to a real live person and when you do get to that live person, it takes 30, 40, or even 60 minutes to finish the call and in the end, they promise to call back or escalate. Despite the calls and escalation, they still have my money.
Second problem, different phone. I paid for the data package and it didn't work on my phone. I called customer service for tech support and they were utterly useless so I went to the store and they were even worse. So now for more than 3 days, not only do I not have data which I paid for but I can't make or receive calls either. I asked at the store if they can just undo whatever they did and go back to the old problem of not having data but at least having calls and the answer was no. Truly absolutely horrible service.

When I started my account with AT&T I was very mislead. They have lowered my data usage because we are not using all of it.

Not true at all. I am still paying for my phones since 2013 -- unreal. Then they said it could be my son's I phone. Took it in to AT&T and it wasn't.

I've been an AT&T customer for about 15 years. When deciding regarding signing 2 year contract vs no contract discussed fees and got a response in writing. Called several times to confirm. Everyone I spoke with did confirm what I had in writing. Based on those prices I purchased new phone in AT&T store and signed contract with 2 weeks free exchange/return window. Called 2 times during 2 weeks and got written pricing via text msg and verbal confirmation on pricing. Based on that info decided to keep 2 year contract.
As soon as the outrageous bill arrived called AT&T and was told that written confirmation and all verbal ones are noted on my account, AT&T is aware what I was told since I had all names of reps who I spoke with written done, but AT&T apologizes for "incorrect info" provided to me prior to signing contract but will not adjust bill or provide any mercy for their errors. I have lost $350 due to their fraud, lies, errors, scam. Extremely disappointed. The most unprofessional, rude, dishonest service one can ever receive from any organization. Scam. Stay away!

Today I called in about my account that I established in March of this year and I called because I was unsure of some charges that were placed on my account and I have yet to receive my Visa reward card of $100. I am very upset because AT&T for me did not deliver what was promised to me my reward visa of $100. After being redirected back and forth to different departments I was directed to the rewards center from the billing department and was assured that they would be able to rectify the situation for me. Well that was not the case. The reward center informed me that there wasn't anything that they could do since my rewards had expire.
Mind you I never received anything in the mail referring to my reward visa card so at this point I am beyond frustrated because basically the representative was telling me that there wasn't anything that she could do nor her supervisor. And all I could think to myself was wow great customer service to someone who has never had AT&T service before. I was appalled. I then asked her who can I speak to about this situation that would be able to handle this manner and give me exceptional customer service. The representative refers me back to billing after I told her billing transferred me so I then asked her for the corporate number and she tells me she doesn't have, I can go to the website to get the information. At this point I am ready to cancel my services with them because today was most definitely not good customer service at all. How can they treat their customers in that way?

Went to get a new phone, was told since I bought a new phone I qualified for a LG-G Pad. It was a "special" they were running. Totally free. Ok, wow, thought it was my lucky day. Wrong, got my bill and the LG-G pad has its own number. They added a new line. WHAT!!! We already have two phones. I don't need another number. As I was at the Fort Steuben Mall, Steubenville, Ohio and they were going to the "back" room to get my new Pad I started feeling a little uneasy and asked them "This is free?" "Oh yea," they said. Got my bill a month later and it was $22.00 a month more. Unbelievable. I will never do business with AT&T. On my way to Verizon.

I have been an AT&T customer since June 2011 and this past February I went into a store located in Fashion Place, because I had a broken phone that I wanted to turn into insurance. The sales associate talked me into their next plan which I still had a year left on my contract. Funny how they were quick to drop my contract to get me on this plan.. Anyway ever since I got on this plan I have had problems every month with my phone bill. I haven't paid them less than $300 every month when my bill is supposed to be $190. Also I posted a payment on the 20th of July and got a text from them today saying my payment never went through, they don't even have the correct amounts plus I called them last week because I got a suspension notice in the mail and they said to disregard it because I was current.
Also last month they disconnected my phones for no reason.. I called them and they said they didn't know why they got disconnected because there was no reason to. They seriously won't stop making my life miserable and taking all my money. I do have a 1-year-old and 2-year-old that I need to support but I'm finding every dime I have going to AT&T for unknown reasons.

I've been with AT&T since they were still Cingular. Over the years I would swear by how great they were and how I would never change however they have seriously changed their style of business the last few years, and I've noticed a significant change for the worse. Their contract terms have changed to penalize their customers when renewing a 2 yr. contract and their new NEXT program basically means no more discounts on phones anymore, even though they claim to offer such a discount. You either lose your AT&T discount every month OR you pay for your phone in installments, either way paying full price for your new phone.
After this change, I realized that AT&T wasn't for their veteran or new customers, so I became mindful to watch my bill closely. Just this month I realized the payment due date had changed. My bill had always been due after the 20th of each month (for years!) and just this month it's due date was the 15th. That can be pretty significant for some folks!
I called and was told that "AT&T is standardizing the number of days between the bill cycle close and the payment due date FOR ALL WIRELESS CUSTOMERS in able to provide the same treatment regardless of geographic location." One question? Was there any courtesy warning besides the subtle due date change on my bill? Uhmmmm, for the customer? I think not!! AT&T is not for their customers, beware!! I hear the other wireless giant is mirroring the same actions because they can!! Pathetic! Ready for the contracts to end and I'm out! Bu-bye AT&T!

I have been a loyal AT&T customer for many years. I added a phone to my account for my wife over three years ago. This September, I added two more phones to my account for family members on the AT&T next program. I pay my bill every single month. In June, I checked the account on the MyAT&T app and saw that one of the phones was missing. I called AT&T and was told that the phone was ported out. I was upset about this and the representative that I spoke with said that there was nothing to worry about and that there are no charges to me for this phone number or the phone. With that understanding, I thought that everything was settled. I got my bill and the full retail cost of the phone was charged to my account and automatically withdrawn from my bank account.
I called AT&T upon seeing this and was transferred from department to department because nobody could seem to figure out what they were doing. I finally got to a Monique ** in the Retention department who told me that I would need to speak with the global fraud department regarding the issue. I called the Fraud department and they told me that it isn't their problem and that I would need to speak with the Port-out department (the second department that I spoke with in this whole circus). I called back as I couldn't wait on hold for the 15+ minutes that it would take for someone to answer my phone call to, undoubtedly, transfer me to someone else just to be told that it isn't their problem either.
I called back tonight and was told that I need to speak with the Retention department. The first person that I spoke with was very empathetic and apologetic. She was trying to find ways to resolve the issue and I told them that, as I know that it isn't necessarily their fault either that all of this happened, the number was ported out of MY ACCOUNT without my permission and I just want the number to be ported back into the account and I will continue paying the installment plan though I have no access to the phone. The first person that I spoke with told me that it could be ported back in but that, as my service had been disconnected at this point, I would have to wait for the charge to be reversed before my phone could be turned back on. I asked her if I could speak with a supervisor that might be able to make it happen sooner.
She got a supervisor on the phone with me that did not have one empathetic bone in her body. She, from the beginning, made me feel like I was the ** of the earth and said that I only have one option: pay for the phone. I tried to bring up other options for resolution and she kept telling me that my only option was to pay for the phone. Then she told me that I tied up their phones for too long. I explained to her that a majority of the time was me being on hold. Then she hung up on me. I called back and they were closed. I urge any person, if you are thinking about doing ANY business with AT&T, don't do it! They don't stand by their word, actions, promises, or product.

If you want to know about unified billing, I can explain it. I was a supervisor with a vendor call center that handles AT&T accounts. 1st, as of the very very near future, all of AT&T's accounts will handled by an outsource, most of the outsourcing will be handled out of the USA. In other words, if a customer calls, most of the calls will be answered by someone from the Philippines, or India. 2nd, the reps you talk to here in the USA have a very minimal training. Many have been fired and rehired by the vendor. Most were fired for extreme mishandling of calls.
3rd, in reference to unified billing, I was a unified supervisor. I had an advantage over the customers. All customers could only see their own bills. I could see unified billing as a whole. For the 1st two to three months of unified billing, customers will receive a huge bill. It is explained as prorated billing. It is just a scam to get huge payments that enables AT&T to sit on huge interest. If you want to learn more, just ask. I can document it all.

Wow, just got off the phone with customer service. Actually, I was hung up on! I was a customer up until a couple months ago. I moved and I would have loved to keep my AT&T U-verse service, but unfortunately the area I moved to didn't offer speeds faster than 6 mbps (I had 18 mbps at my previous address). I do a lot of streaming and online gaming so the 6 mbps couldn't cut it, and I had to cancel after only a couple of days at my new house.
The customer service rep I had spoken to when I canceled was respectful and understanding. Her name was Peggy, a very nice woman. She got me taken care of and told me that I wouldn't owe anything once I send my equipment in. In fact, she told me that I should be receiving a check because I was overcharged. I had already paid for my old equipment and was charged for new equipment because mine was "incompatible" at the new address. And I was charged a moving and reconnection fee on top of that when I was promised before that if I did end up moving, I wouldn't have to pay $$$ to get my service transferred. Here I am 2 months later with a charge on my card for $32.17 made by "ATT*CONS PHONE". I know it doesn't seem like much, but finances are a little tight right now.
I called customer service to try and get this issue resolved and the lady that I spoke to was saying it was for time of service that I owed. I explained to her that it was resolved already and I shouldn't owe and I was told I should've got a check. She insisted she was right and when I told her that I really couldn't afford to pay that right now, she paused for a moment and then just hung up on me. I couldn't believe it! I didn't catch her name either. I don't really bother with people's names unless they're worth knowing, and this customer service rep clearly was not worth it. I would love to speak with Peggy or an agent like her. Good customer service reps are few and far between.

You are told incorrect information and it's covered by "I'm sorry they gave you that information, that's not true but however I don't see any notes that indicate this." I was given a payment arrangement followed by a text and email to confirm. Hours later phone disconnected and being told that account couldn't be set up on arrangement and at this after suspension nothing could be done. I made numerous of calls trying to get a AT&T supervisor, a couple of store visits. Only to learn at the first store visit that I wasn't really speaking with AT&T management but AT&T contractors, store manager suggested sending a email for paper trail.
After going to web address which is a completed dead end I ran across a number for AT&T CORPORATE. Spoke with a rep that apologized and stated that I needed to take the email and text into another store and once verified and call back to a number that he gave service would be restored. Got to the store. Call the number back and they started to state had no idea of what I was saying. Account is not eligible for payment arrangement all over again. I spent a lunch hour and extra time from my job on a wild geese chase. Store manager showed me a note from the rep that put in arrangement and text his reply was "that rep was trying to get you off the phone. He put it in but the system didn't accept it. Keep calling until you get the right person." I'm still with my services AND WILL take this complaint as far as I have to. I was treated unfairly and none at AT&T WANTED to correct their mistake.

I have had a horrible experience with my AT&T service for the last 3 days. After being heavily encouraged & persuaded to switch my account, I changed to Uverse. Every time I talked to someone from AT&T they tried to get me to change, so I did. My account has been past due and I had no idea why. I kept paying more money. My account was still past due. I have paid over $2,000 towards my account since the end of March. Yet my account is still past due. On Thursday, July 27, my son called AT&T about problems with his internet service bill. He was told that my AT&T account was past due. I called AT&T to see what was wrong with my account. I couldn't understand why it was past due since I have been sending in regular payments. During the call, I found out there were many changes to and issues with my account that I did not know about. Some of the problems we've had are below:
My monthly charges for service were getting too high for me to pay. I called to see what I had to do to get my payments lower. I was told I should go on a new data share plan which I did. However, my bill has still been high and I am past due. Somehow, my combined bill that I have always had, had become un-combined. I did not ask for this and did not have any knowledge that my account had been un-combined. I don't know why this was changed. But, I want to pay 1 bill for everything just like I've always done. Why have all of your services with just 1 company if you can't pay one bill for all.
My account had been divided to have 2 primaries, me and my son. We never asked for this, either. I was being billed for 2 primaries, which was very expensive. Neither my son nor I asked for this to be done. No one know how or why this was done. When I decided to switch to Uverse, the technician came out and said that if he installed the Uverse that day as scheduled, we could not keep our phone number that we've had for 30 years. So, we had to schedule another appointment so we wouldn't lose our number. Evidently, when you get Uverse, you get a new account. I didn't know this. No one explained this or told me that I would now have more than 1 account. I have continued to make automatic monthly payments through my bank to AT&T like I always did.
When I was talking to one of the AT&T reps, they said all of that money was going towards my old account; not my new account. So, I have a large credit balance on that account. Even though I have a large credit balance on that account, they cannot transfer that towards my new account that is past due. This is very frustrating. I have all of this money tied up at AT&T and I still have to pay more money out of my pocket (with this large credit balance with AT&T). I talked with Christy about my situation on Thursday, July 27. She told me if I paid $165 that day towards my delinquent account that my phone service would not be interrupted as long as I made another payment by August 2.
The next day, Friday, July 28, my family went to the mall while we were still out of town on our vacation. I tried to call my daughter. My phone service had been disconnected. Not only had my service been disconnected, I couldn't even contact customer service with my dead phone. I had to go to a business in the mall and ask if I could use their phone to try to get my service turned back on (After I was promised service would not be interrupted if I made that payment on Thursday). Thankfully, this was a nice business because I was on their business line for 40 minutes trying to get my service turned back on so we could communicate with each other at this large mall.
On Saturday, I called to request help with making yet another payment so my service wouldn't be disconnected. I called 611 on my phone and asked to make a payment over the phone so I could be sure the payment went towards the right account. I didnt want to make another payment towards the wrong account. I was told I would be charged a convenience fee of $5 if they made my payment for me. After all of this time and trouble I've had with AT&T the last 2 days and they will charge me to help make sure my payment is made towards the correct account.
I spoke with the supervisor who explained that they would charge a fee because the bank charges AT&T a fee and AT&T has to pay the employee to help me. Well, on this call, I ended up speaking with 3 different people and was on the phone for more than 1 hour. How much more did that cost in personnel wages than them just taking a couple of minutes helping make a payment for me? Over the last 3 days, I have been on the phone more than 3 hours with AT&T personnel trying to get the issues with my bill and payment straightened out. I am so aggravated, frustrated and stressed over this. Today, I actually started crying after I got off the phone with the person.
I know my cell phones shouldn't be shut off again. But, the person I was talking to could only access my cell account. He couldn't look at my home phone or internet account to see if they are past due or will be shut off. If I contact AT&T with problems about my account, I want someone to be able to look at anything they need to be able to help me. After all of this, I don't want to make another call and spend another hour on the phone to get something resolved.It's frustrating that AT&T employees are given a script of nice things to say to you and say what a valued customer you are, but then their hands are tied and they cannot help the customer.
Reps can't look at all of the information about your account. Reps can't transfer the funds from one account to another. They can't waive the convenience fee for assisting customers in certain situations. They can't stop your service from getting shut off even though they can see you have a large credit balance with the company. Employees say they understand and they would feel the same way, but they can only do what is allowed by the company. All employees can do is say you are a valued customer, but the policies and procedures and red tape prevent them from actually acting and bringing immediate closure to a problem.
I feel AT&T has gotten so big and branched off into so many new areas that are not connected to each other (even though they are under the same company) they have forgotten about the mission to help the little customer if it doesn't fit into their big picture of things. If a customer's phone service is disconnected, I believe they should still be able to contact AT&T customer service with the phone. I can understand not being able to make other calls. But, you should still be able to call AT&T customer service with that phone. If that is the only phone you have, you have no way to resolve your issue.
Even after all of these payments and a large credit balance with the company, I've still had to make more payments out of my pocket to hopefully keep my service turned on and spend all of this time on the phone with AT&T reps and time typing this information. On Thursday, I was on the phone for over 90 minutes. On Friday, I was on the phone for 40 minutes. On Saturday, I was on the phone for over 60 minutes. I am still confused and don't really understand what is going on. I do not feel like this is a good situation. I'm upset and telling anyone who will listen about this time consuming and expensive situation.

As of last month my nightmare basically began. I will admit I was negligent on cancelling a promotion that has expired so my bill with DirecTV increased. I called AT&T to cancel channels to lower my bill which they said because I called at the beginning of a new billing period, it would be prorated next billing cycle. Two days ago I received my new bill just to see I wasn't credited a dime, but was charged more. I called AT&T and they told me I would have to take it to DirecTV since it's their issue. I spoke with a rep and she saw in her notes that I did call last month regarding the issue and will lower the bill within two business days.
As I was getting ready to pay my bill this morning, my bill is still the same amount with nothing resolved. I have called AT&T for them to constantly put my in hold, I have called DirecTV just for them to throw me back to AT&T to have me on hold again. I started losing it (and that's not a figure of speech) because I can't afford another dime due to their stupidity when I'm spending enough money with my wedding in three months.
After trying numerous numbers I finally got to speak to a rep, which I requested to speak to her supervisor. When I explained what was going on all I keep hearing is "mmhmm, mmhmm," like she doesn't give a ** and her explanation is DirecTV bills a month in advance resulting in high bills, but I told her the last rep said my bill should decrease within two business days, that I also have a confirmation number from that call, and she just told me a confirmation number is not going to help her and she has to call DirecTV and will call me back within 2-3 hours.

AT&T is a bad company. I moved and had to change my number. I called AT&T and they changed my number for me. I realized a few weeks later that they screwed up my account so that when Unknown Callers (calls not in my contacts list) tried dialing in, the phone would not notify me nor would it alert me when there was a message. Everything on the phone was set up correctly. I was on the phone for over 3 hours with 5 different reps to attempt to help me figure out the issue, which never happened. I was left with having to do a full Factory Reset. They charged me for the use on the previous line number and the new number for the same time period. Essentially I was being charged for two phones when I only had one.
Now the phone has some alert that cannot be turned off blaring every 30 minutes. I lost a job interview and a possible career due to their screw up with the Unknown Caller fiasco. Now I am stuck on the NEXT plan for two more years with a crappy phone and a really crappy phone service. THANKS AT&T FOR NOTHING.

Three-way call with Asurion and AT&T supervisor John @ 4:20 pm on 7/29/15 re.: A deductible of $199 for an insurance claim. I had told them I was never informed about deductibles when rec'd cell service for 5 phones since 2005 or earlier. Never had a claim put through in all those years until now. Deductible is based on phone type. Well mine was based on a iPhone 6 that just came out when I had a iPhone 5s. Asked for supervisor after calling again because Pat, the previous person, put me on hold without even mentioning it. So I had to call back Asurion Insurance and Tracey there put me on a 3-way call.
I am disputing the $199 amount because I was never informed of this fee in all the years of being a customer of AT&T. John, supervisor at AT&T, was on the 3-way call and was extremely rude and very disrespectful, and I want the world to know how bad their customer service is no matter how long you have been a customer. He has very poor customer service and I told him he needs to have a meeting with his employees about phone service and insurance because of the bad experience and mistold info that I rec'd. about not having any fees charged for when you have a claim for a damaged phone.
I am discussing with family about leaving them for better service elsewhere. I recommend that I would never give AT&T a reference to anyone that wants cell phone service. They are horrible and do not have customer service experience whatsoever. I was always told in retail (public service) that customer service is #1. Thank you!!

After a couple of months my MiFi device that is supposed to let 10 people online, stopped working. For several months of trying to be patience with the frustration of my service not working, after hours working with technical support on the phone, getting a new device, being reassured, trying different locations, I finally had to cancel my contract. After all of this, they still charged a termination fee! I spoke with 2 managers and they refused to refund it. So basically hundreds and hundreds of dollars paying for a service that didn't work, they still wanted more money for canceling it.
The lesson is that loyalty is not valued; it's taken advantage of. If it doesn't work, leave. If I would have cancelled at the very first sign of a problem, I would have saved hundreds of dollars, hours on the phone and immense frustration. And been able to get the needs met elsewhere. Exemplary of corporate greed with people working who are script driven.

To start, I will say that this is the worst service I have ever heard of. I don't know anyone who has more pathetic internet than the service I am given, and I am not even given what I paid for. I plan to switch to a different provider as soon as possible if there is no change in this, as I can hardly maintain a stable enough connection to continuously load simple webpages. I used to look around the slow speed by thinking, "At least it's more stable than Xfinity!" but I can no longer make this excuse. Every friend I have with Xfinity internet has at least three times the speed, no outages, and their speeds stay constant. I am disgusted.

I have been an AT&T customer for 5 years. I am very regretful to have chosen this company. They report great coverage areas however the connectivity is very poor. Multiple drop calls and not being able to connect. Most recently, due to horrible service and connection issues I had the salesperson talked me into upgrading my S5 to an S6 in hopes of having better service.
The phone from day 1 had issues. First day overheating battery, no service. Sitting at work phone never rings, messages don't come through. Closing apps and a screen that won't light up when the home key is touched. Keep in mind this phone was purchased brand new and the price was 815$. I reported the issues to AT&T and they did some troubleshooting (HOURS OF PHONE TIME WASTED WITH THEM) and told me the issues would be resolved. They did not. The phone dies within 2 hours of coming off the charger, and overheats in my hand and turns off. I was on vacation and this phone left me with a dead phone in the airport (couldn't access my online boarding passes) etc. even after charging it for hours.
Ok, so AT&T solution was we will send you a "like new device" after filing multiple service issues. The customer service rep was calling my phone multiple times with me on a landline and it never rang. She took over my phone and saw several hundred text messages that never sent. So her solution is we will send you a "like new" phone. I told her well, that's unacceptable seeing how I have only made one payment on my 815$ installment plan. I do not want to pay full price for a used phone. They were not able to give me any credit on the installment for having to accept a used phone. They told me to basically screw off and if I'd like to they could cancel my account they would. However I would have to pay off the phone installment no matter what, with (3 devices and average bill of 450/ mo after my corporation discount!) (shows you how much they value their customers).
I asked about my 1 year manufacturer's warranty through Samsung and they said to go deal with them. I did call Samsung and they told me my only option was to send my phone to them for about 3 weeks for a tech to look at it and repair it, if that could not happen I would be given a refurbished phone from them!. They stated they do not given loaner phones during this process.
I called AT&T back and they refused to send me a loaner phone and told me to go buy an AT&T GO PHONE, at my expense and use that while it is being repaired. AGAIN, they refused to give me any credit for the $815 full price installment plan, or for the fact that I have lost business and dealt with anxiety and multiple issues with this phone for 2 months. No credit. DO NOT USE AT&T! YOU WILL REGRET IT. This is not my first customer service issue with them over the years. However this one takes the cake.

In Sept 2014 my partner and I merged our AT&T accounts together into a family plan. I had been an AT&T customer for nearly ten years with the same number, but we used his number as the primary number on the family plan because he is a law school student and he got a good discount. What a mistake. Sticking with AT&T has been such a colossal blunder. The moment my number was merged with his, I ceased to exist at AT&T - my app, text alerts, online login and everything all stopped working and were disabled. Apparently as a result of the merger there was a prorated balance on my old account in the amount of $81.12.
AT&T insists that they sent me a letter about this balance but I did not ever receive it. The prime issue here is that all of the methods I had used to keep track of my account balance (the app, website etc.) were all disabled the moment my account was merged into a family plan. So the balance was never reported to me (again, except for this fictional letter they keep talking about).
Flash forward six months later, and AT&T has now reported this balance to a collections agency and is on my credit report! At first, I thought this was just a mistake and called AT&T to correct the issue. They told me to contact the agency, make a payment, and the balance would be removed from my report. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. I paid the balance as requested and now it's STILL on my credit report. In the last day I have spoken with Don ** (AT&T collections dept), Jalana ** and Aaron ** (customer service), "Holly" and "Sheania **" in the retention department, and "Mollica" in the social media department, and I have never heard the phrase "there's nothing I can do" so many times in my life. I can't believe that this bumbling and apathy is so broadly represented across AT&T's departments.
How can this be happening? I am a CURRENT CUSTOMER with a FAMILY PLAN and no one from AT&T tried to contact me to resolve this balance at any time (except for the letter they keep insisting was sent). I am so appalled that this is the response from a company I've done business with for this long. Someone, please, please, please help me resolve this.

I opened up a line with AT&T two years, and two months ago. I let a person I know use the phone and pay me the charges. Faithfully, the money was given to me without a problem. Every month I would make the payments at our local store. I explained to this person after the two year period was over, she would be on month to month. I did not want to take a chance on financing another phone. Two months ago, she walked into our local AT&T store and asked to upgrade her phone to an iPhone 6. They asked if she was me and she stated she was. "What was the last four of your social security".... she rattled the numbers off and PRESTO... a new phone.
She stopped in and did some quick talking and hoped I didn't mind. I immediately went to the store and called Customer Service. The Customer Service rep wanted to know WHY I WAS UPSET and since she faithfully paid me for the last phone, why not let her keep it. Then, I was told if I had a problem with it, speak to the local store. Off I go, and the local store tells me they cannot help me without equipment back and the manager on duty ADMITS that she posed as me. HE DID NOT ask her for a license, and knew the social. I tried to get the equipment back and she wouldn't give it back and told me to pay the fees since I cancelled the line.
I called Customer Service and they turned the lines off and said I would be responsible for $1,800 for phone, FREE iPAD, and her phone bill of $467. They suggested I go back to the local store. Off I go, AGAIN, and the local store SAID not to worry, THEY would call her, give a few weeks, STOP back in and all will be fine. STOP back in and the manager is on vacation. Another manager calls Customer Service and they transfer him to FRAUD. He has them on speaker phone and explains the whole store for another 20 minutes and when he is done, the FRAUD department starts to GET REALLY ANGRY at him, IS RUDE, and tells him.. NOT THEIR PROBLEM. He looks at me in disbelief and said he was sorry, nothing he could do.
I call Customer Service CRYING, SHAKING, YELLING... "What country do I live in? Someone uses my social, uses my identity and YOU WON'T help me?" "Go back to the store".. I am told. It's their problem. Off I go back to the store (got equipment back) and the manager calls... THEY WON'T HELP HIM. Another guy in charge, after I started screaming... "YOU PEOPLE DID NOT ASK FOR A LICENSE"... offered to help. He told his assistant to run the take back phone through as stolen identity. I will know tomorrow if it worked. This organization is run by a THIRD WORLD country. It's disgraceful that our government allows this organization to scam people. While I was there, three people came in.. one an elderly woman... upset that the plan offered was almost triple the amount.

We went to AT&T store on Orchard Lake Rd, Farmington Hills, MI to upgrade two phones, mine and my son's. During the process, the salesman handed me a Samsung Tablet and said "Here's a free Tablet." I already had a small tablet at home, but I accepted with a thanks. No further details were discussed. Yesterday (July 27, 2015), my AT&T bill arrived, and upon scanning it, I see a fifth phone line on my bill (we only have four lines), and a charge of $28.08. Further research of my bill shows that the fifth line is for the "free" tablet I was given a few weeks back. This told me that my "free tablet" will cost me over $28 a month, and is shown as another phone line.
I called customer service and after a twenty-minute discussion, I was told that if I wanted to "cancel" the line, I would have to pay a penalty of $150.00. I became irate (but didn't swear or anything like that), and the customer service rep said she's going to transfer me to the customer (service) head. Again, I was told that if I wanted to "cancel" the line, I would have to pay a penalty of $150.00. He impolitely told me that I would have to pay $150.00 to cancel the fifth line even though I never ordered or agreed to the line. He stated that, because I accepted the "free" tablet, I automatically incurred the monthly line and the monthly charge. It didn't matter that I did not order the line -- and if I cancel it, I will be charged another $150.00, because the "14-day cancellation period had passed.
My telephone bill came after the 14-day period had passed. My son returned to the AT&T retail outlet in Farmington Hills and the manager told him the same thing – cancellation will result in a penalty of $150.00. My son told him that the sales rep did not explain any part of the requirement of another line and additional monthly charges. Bottom line: I did not order the fifth line ** and I was never advised that when I accepted the "free" Tablet, it automatically will open another telephone line. I cannot reach anyone else at AT&T.

I had been with AT&T Home Phone service since 09/2006. I cancelled my service with AT&T because I found I could get it cheaper through my cable provider. I received a final bill in the amount of $10.60 electronically via Check Free on 06/05/2015 for which it shows that a payment for that amount of $10.60 was made including a confirmation #. Several weeks later I received a bill for the $10.60 with an additional $6.50 for a late fee. I called AT&T Customer Service and explained the situation. He assured me that it was a mistake and it would be taken care of.
Several weeks later I received another bill for the $10.60 plus the late fee. I did more research by going to my old AT&T Account Management website, signing in to see the status. The site indicated that I owed $0.00 dollars. I went to the History Section which indicated that the last payment received by AT&T in the amount of $10.60 was received on 06/05. The detailed information for the last payment also indicated payment of $10.60 and also included a Confirmation Number. I printed out each of these pages. My checking account also includes a debit in the amount of $10.60 to AT&T.
I also started getting automated phone calls from AT&T saying that they had not received payment. This occurred for several days. I called the AT&T Customer Service again and explained the situation. I was told that he could not find my account # but he had been having problems with his computer. I was told he would call me back once his computer was fixed. I received no call back. The next day I went back to the AT&T Customer Service website and started a chat with one of the service representatives. After speaking with him I was assured that he would take care of the situation and was also given a phone number to call if the calls continued. Well the calls stopped but about 2 weeks later I received a Final Payment notice for the amount of the $10.60 plus $6.50 late fee.
I called the number provided me and spoke with a representative who asked me for the Account # and phone # involved. I provided the representative with the Account # on the Final Notice Bill. I was told that she could find that Account #. She transferred me to the Billing Department and I spoke with a representative name John. After several minutes he was able to find my account and he said that on it I owed $0.00. I asked him to check the History but said that on Cancelled Accounts they could not view the History. I told him, that I as a customer, how could I look at the payment history of the account and he could not. He did not respond but I knew that was a bunch of crap.
I work in that area of the industry (not phone service) and most companies are required by law to keep history records for 7 years. He said he would have to refer this to the accounting department for final resolution. I told him that I wanted in writing from AT&T that the matter was closed and that I owed AT&T nothing. He said that it would take between 3 to 5 days for this to arrive. Well later that day I received another bill from AT&T for the $10.60, the $6.50 late fee, plus another $6.50 late fee tacked on. I will call this individual back tomorrow, asked for email address, and then send him the documentation (copies) which I have. I will also demand that included in the written document that it also include an apology. I should be charging this company the hours it has taken me to try and resolve their ineptness.
I do not expect any positive results even with sending the documentation to them. They are such a group of inept departments who give you assurances while doing nothing. I would advise any person intending to start service with AT&T Home Phone Service to stop and look for alternatives. Two tin cans and string are a better alternative.

Sales staff misrepresented the total monthly billing amount. Several times they were asked if the amount they quoted was the actual total or were there additional taxes or hidden charges. We were assured of the accuracy of their quote only to be floored when the statement arrived. After calling AT&T and going back into the AT&T store, no one would acknowledge that we were deceived. In order to quit AT&T, we would owe them the amount on the exorbitant bill, and the cost of phone that they refused to take back after only 3 weeks.
A so called, "supervisor" would not allow us to return the phone to reduce the billing amount and establish a new service with a clear monthly billing amount. I was then told that a 15% discount would apply due to my employment. That sounds great, right? It's not a 15% discount, it's a 15% discount on the AT&T service charge on my phone only. That discount came to about $6. In order to purchase a service with AT&T, you need to be a master of "The Shell Game."
Watch out! Read everything carefully. Otherwise, you will actually owe much more than you agreed to pay. It is very sad. I thought I had learned exactly what to ask the AT&T sales staff because they had used similar sales tactics with me before. But, they must have training meetings on how to jumble the truth into a lot of double-talk. I must admit they are very good at it!

Cell Phone Experiences - This review is about my experiences with AT&T over the last five years. I will keep this brief. First of all, elderly beware. My father received what he thought to be a free phone from AT&T and when he realized it was not, he sent it back and was not given credit and was being charged outrageous amounts. I called AT&T numerous times about it and they refused to wipe it out and their records were a mess. I was lied to and told they were taking notes which apparently the reps were not (something I would run into numerous times later on in my own experiences with AT&T). Eventually I got him out of the hell hole only to learn they had a senior citizen plan. Enough on that experience.
Recently we got new cell phones from AT&T. The salesperson told me AT&T had a new pricing plan and I could get 10MG for about the same amount I was currently paying for the 10MG. Imagine my surprise when I got my bill to learn we were being charged $100 a month ($70 more than what we were paying) more for the data.
Roadside Assistance- A few weeks ago my college son ran out of gas while going back to college. "No problem," I said, "call AT&T on your phone." They called, waited two hours and when they called to check on service they were told it was cancelled. Then they were told that AT&T could not help them. Did I mention they were on a small country road with the closest town an hour away? AT&T now tells me that Allstate is to blame and AT&T is doing nothing to make this right. Note to AT&T: You're lucky cause I would have sued you raw if my child had been hurt or killed and no jury in this world would have seen your side of it. Been taking my money since 1993 and you weren't here when we needed you. Shame.
Uverse Experiences- Next experience, we signed on for Uverse and we're never told that our security system would not work with their system despite their asking me if we had one. We could not use our security system without upgrading our security system at a cost of a whopping $200. AT&T did give us a credit to help with this but then we learned our security monitoring would go up almost another $10 a month because of the new system.
Let's not even start on the problems we had when they put our system in. The installer completely messed it up and put the wrong security info on the wi-fi equipment. Today, I was reminded about that problem when I tried to troubleshoot something and did not know the password. The clue said to see the sticker. No words.
There has been so many other bad experiences but these stand out. I guess after these many years you're gonna have some bad experiences, but the dishonesty and the inability for AT&T to be there when we needed it to be especially for an emergency, I am convinced it is time for me to fly. This company has simply grown too large to care about the little guy.

My bills look something like that: For the main line they charge $60.00 for 700 min, $30.00 for unlimited text, $30.00 for unlimited data and $2.99 for roadside assistance plus $9.99 for the second line and $30.00 for unlimited data, plus 9.99 for the third line and $25 for 2 GB data, plus $9.99 for the 4th line and $25 for 2 GB plus $9.99 for the last line with no data plan. Plus a monthly charge of $10-20 for added data because my cousin always go over the 2GB limit.
I spoke to the retention department on 3 different occasions in an attempt to reduce my monthly bill. I lost up to 10 hours. I even spoke to a supervisor. My only request was to keep my unlimited data. The most saving they were able to offer me if I wanted to keep the unlimited data was $10/month. They were really encouraging me to switch to the mobile share plan and save more than $100 while I repeatedly told them that I wasn't interested in having limited data.
They overprice the unlimited data plan for the old customers forcing them into switching to the new mobile share plan.

I have been with AT&T for 10+ years. In February 2015 my son and I upgraded to the iPhone 6. His phone worked fine... but mine started spiking my data at a rate of nearly 2 gigabytes per day!! I am on WiFi all day at work and I didn't change my usage at all from how I used my previous phone (iPhone 4s). This ultimately resulted in a bill of 1300 dollars for a month's service. They kept adding a gig of data at 15 dollars a pop... Sometimes two gigs would be charged within an hour! I called to have this resolved and was told there was nothing wrong and I had "patterns of usage" that they base this on. I then tried to make a payment arrangement to pay out the overages... and was told I could not do that either.
I used the service and needed to pay which I found odd since I had made payment arrangements in the past with no issues. I asked the associate to speak with her supervisor. She said she was the supervisor... So I asked how to speak with her superior and she said I would have to write the corporate office. I asked for the number to call the corporate office and she said there is no number for them. This is a telecommunications corporation yet they have no phone in the corporate office. So basically to add insult to injury apparently she thought I was stupid. I would just like information on who to contact to resolve this and pay the portion of that bill that I truly am responsible for because there is no way my phone legitimately used 69 gigabytes of data in a month!

I called and set up internet. Initially the customer rep told me internet was 19.99 and I qualify for a free phone. I said as long as it's free I'll take it... I get 1&2 bill and notice a charge for the phone. I call back. The customer rep says I'm not getting charged. They just have to show it on the bill. Me not paying attention to detail I noticed on my next bill it's $60 with a charge for the phone. I call back. The rep said that I am being charged due to a bundle. I told him that I didn't ask for it, it was offered as a free service. To sum up what he said there is nothing he can do.
So I call the next bill cycle due to a charge of restoral fee of $49 and my bill is $115 due to their network. The first guy Mike said, "I will transfer you to someone who can waive that fee." The next lady said she couldn't do it. It has to go through collections. So I sat on hold and a recording came on that was skipping and I couldn't understand what it was trying to say. Next thing you know I hear “you are now being disconnected from this call from failure to talk" then it hangs up! WTH. I'm cutting all ties with AT&T. I've been with this company 5+years. It's over!!!

And waited, and waited. Forty minutes while an AT&T salesperson spent time "chatting up" a female customer. The other rep (there were only two) seemed to need a lot of bathroom breaks. Many customers just left. There was so much grumbling that people walked in, heard the very vocal grumbling, and just turned around and walked out.

When they updated their service I failed to get internet in certain stores, airports, and restaurants. The internet would not come through it made me use my 4G and use up all my data, even though others had it available. I tried to resolve the situation. They sent me a new phone and then tried to charge me for the new phone when it was their fault. I told them I did not reach the internet with the new phone to send me mine back. I have had nothing but people who do not want to work with me and trying to charge me for services that are not used and phones that I don't have. Hours and hours on the phone trying to deal with this situation and it's very very frustrating. Then they want to charge me lousy 5 dollars to take my payment after their 611 service wasn't working. Before the update the service was fine. I just want the same service and to take responsibility for what was done wrong.

AT&T wireless is the most disgusting and disrespectful company I have ever had service with. I receive a text from them saying I've used 75% of my data, so I'm like okay I don't want to be charged extra let me turn my cellular data off. Next thing I know I'm getting a text saying I've used 100% of my data and $20 dollars will be added to my bill. Why don't they asked if you want more data just automatically add extra money on. And the fact the I pay insurance on my phone and they won't even pay to get my screen fixed, why am I paying this company this money when it does nothing for me. The prices are outrageous, you don't have any good plans, charging people extra money. I never have service so what am I paying for exactly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. They are robbing and conniving company and it's not worth the stress.

My telephone stopped working so we called many times after this and that we were told by people who didn't have my utmost confidence that the problem is the crappy modem that is apparently required to use the telephone. Now after 4 days without telephone service I see no evidence, no issue, no parts of no damn modem. It's bad enough the communication problems with the customer service, but this switching people around like lab mice should be stopped. The phone symptoms were: a dead line. At times a busy signal. When we called ourselves, an indication that our mailbox was full. It recovered at times. Then total nothingness. When it worked, it worked great. No backup in case of catastrophic technical events. Thank you.

It is widely unknown to customers that when you cancel your service, and not directly through AT&T, your final bill isn't prorated. My billing cycle ended on the 10th and I canceled my service on the 13th. AT&T is now stealing 90% of my bill payment from me. I was completely happy with my AT&T service, but when I saw that I could save $30 a month when switching over to Sprint I couldn't pass it up. In hindsight it was another way AT&T was taking more than its share from me. At this time I will not provide any positive feedback nor will I recommend AT&T to anyone.

I went into the AT&T store, a large one, and got a sales rep that sat with and explained about a new program. I got a new Apple iPhone 6 and a great plan and rate. When I got the first month's bill it was more than the salesman had given me in "writing" and on my receipt which luckily I kept. So I first called the customer service on the phone and followed up with store mgr showing him the receipt I had in writing from the sales rep. They both told me the plan I signed up for is more money than the salesman wrote down. And although I have a written receipt in hand there's nothing they can do. The price charged is the right price and the one I have in writing is wrong.
So I got a written receipt and his notes and they are less than my bill. So I asked them to cancel everything or bill me the PROMISED AND AGREED UPON price he wrote down and I have in my written receipt and he said, "No, can't do it." I want to sue for fraud or dishonesty. Any suggestions? Or criminal theft... Any suggestions please?

Complaint against AT&T's poor customer service and lousy billing dept. DSL for internet and phone service was wrongfully and dangerously disconnected! The promo deal was set up by a representative, from February to August 2015 for $28.50. There's monthly billing issues as I've had to call umpteen times over this matter. 4/7/15 Called, billed wrong ($65.30), spoke with another CSR, Supervisor will call 4/7/15. Spoke with another CSR- left message with Supv-she said she'd adjust, also mentioned a better promo deal AND as told before, will make permanent changes to account to AVOID calling every month. Lost count of many times told. 4/9/15 Called, spoke with another CSR, owe only 28.20 this month, next bill $28.50. 4/27/15 DSL trouble, called, rectified. 5/19/15 Spoke with another CSR- bill wrong again $55.70 will not see extra charges.
6/10/15 Called first time (didn't get her name) but told owed $60.00. Got mad because she didn't listen to a word I said as I explained many times I was on a promo deal of only $28.50 and insisting I owed $60.00! She hung up on me after demanding to speak to a manager or supervisor. I called and spoke with another CSR, added 50% promo extended up to December 2015 of $28.50 rather than ending in August (due to long continued billing errors), will reflect on next month's bill. "ANY EXTRA CHARGES???" I ASKED. "NO." Reassured all was taken care and wouldn't have to call MONTHLY. Have serious medical life threatening issues going on now, need phone for emergency calls (Only had Safelink phone with not many minutes left)! 6/30/15 find my DSL was down, UNABLE to USE MY Basic Talk PHONE!
I used my Safelink phone in a desperate attempt to get this resolved as my bill was paid, even early, correct amount of $28.50. Spoke with another CSR, as we went round and round insisting I had to pay $62.40 to have service back on! Explained medical situation, didn't matter. On hold with cell, told Port is LOCKED, someone has to come out but won't be til next day! It was on before day ended. Want to keep complaint open, issues ongoing!
Product or Service: DSL Promo Deal. Received call from a lady in Executive Escalations, she mentioned possible 19.95 for a year as new customer. She said "unable to do so." Credits were given so bill would be 28.50. She mentioned "need to find out more, will call back." Message do not qualify for 28.50 promo deal, contacted promo dept, not eligible. Can do 15% off $42.00 for a year, early termination fees apply. Call and let know. Called, left messages, no response. Found later was out. In the meantime I called other CSRs at least 2 and was confirmed had promo deal of 28.50 til Dec 2015. I mentioned what was told but clearly stated promo deal til Dec 2015. All okay. Got notice resolved through AT&T by BBB. Was not resolved, still unclear.
Got call from Executive Claims Rep, 7/22/15. Was told not eligible, didn't qualify for promo. However it was confirmed by her today that I was eligible for the promo deal of $28.50, Mar-Aug 2015. Within this period of time during promo I was billed incorrectly, higher amounts. For that reason my promo was extended by a CSR, up to Dec 2015 for $28.50. Spoke with Executive Claims Rep, still though I was eligible Mar-Aug 2015 and had issues with billing all along within this time frame, the extended promo up to Dec 2015 was cut off and taken away as the best she could do was 15% off $42.00 a year. No compensation. She said there was nothing they could do. I told her this was very unethical and unprofessional to take away the extension that was added to compensate for repetitive calling that was within the 6 months of the promo deal that I was eligible for trying to get billing squared away.
I've been with Bellsouth, AT&T for a very long time and it's beyond shameful the way they treat their customers. Though I have names, dates, notes it still doesn't matter, no change or compensation. I have never experienced such an unreliable, uncooperative, full of false promises company such as this one. All the CSRs are not on the same page. You get many different stories pertaining to one situation. They say one thing then when you get the bill it's jacked up and nothing what they tell you via phone. Last I was given the number to the President Manager- Investigations.
I called several times, no answer, goes to voice box and full, unable to leave MESSAGE. I'm angry and disappointed with this company. Will try again, but doubtful I'll get anywhere with this company. They really obviously don't care about their customers at all and their practices are very misleading and they do not keep their word. I've heard many stories from others pertaining to mine and it is so true.

They have the WORST customer service I have ever encountered in my entire life. I would never recommend any of their services to anybody that I know. After I waited over a month for my modem (that I was going to install myself) I realized that my apartment does not have a wall jack. When I ordered the service I specifically asked if anything like that would be necessary to check for before I wait a month to recover this modem in the mail. Then when I called about this issue they wanted to charge me $100 to send someone out to install it (Which I would have just paid for right away and had service in about a week, as opposed to over a month.).
When I was explaining to this to "Kendall" on the phone she decided to transfer me to a new person. This person began talking about canceling my service, which I never even mentioned. I asked for the manager and SHE HUNG UP ON ME! I called back and talked to several other people who just kept transferring me to new people after I repeated my story (which I know is sitting there on their stupid little computer screens already). Needless to say, I was on hold for over two hours, hung up on, ignored, and poorly treated. I will let every person that I know how awful their customer service is. Do yourself a favor and go with a different company. I'd rather pay twice as much for a service than work with AT&T.

We have been loyal AT&T customers for over 10 years now and we are extremely disappointed in our service. Our most recent incident was when we called to get my phone data bumped up from 2GB. We told them only my phone, not my husband's because he was already grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan. So the lady on the phone told us we will now have 5GB on my phone instead of 2 and my husband's will be the same.
Well a few days later we started to get texts and emails saying we went over our data. There's no way I went over 5GB so we called. Apparently they made the mistake of giving us 5GB COMBINED. So they took away my husband's unlimited data. They refused to give it back to us, so we were forced to up our combined data plan to 10GB. We spoke to the manager and she said "Oh I'm sorry about that mistake but there's nothing that can be done now. You lost it forever." Basically telling us we are ** out of luck. Thanks for screwing us over AT&T! And also our Uverse and Internet has been extremely slow. We lose signal all the time. I don't recommend anyone going through AT&T.

The most recent is just one more incident of being blatantly lied to by an AT&T "sales rep." In May of 2015 I called AT&T to reduce my bill and remove some services. As usual it is a shell game and I have to repeat exactly what they are telling me so there is no confusion about the services I am receiving and the amount. Of course in reality it doesn't matter, because the following month my bill went right up again and when I called AT&T I was told I had received a "temporary promotion."
Really? Are you kidding me? I said I hope you have those recordings of the conversations you say are recorded because no one ever mentioned it was a temporary promotion. Called the FCC, got a call back from AT&T from someone with an "attitude" and after much discussion, finally (I thought) issue was resolved and bill was reduced. Went to pay my bill and guess what? They did not change one thing and when I called again, I was given the pro- rated B/S story. MY only question is how in the world do they get away with these despicable business practices?

I have an iPhone 5S that I want to unlock. I have already contacted AT&T and they have denied my unlock request. However, I own this phone outright! I have run the IMEI and it is clear! AT&T is trying to play hardball. I purchased the phone myself and paid for it upfront to use it on my employer's network at a discounted price through my company. The issue that they state is that even though they acknowledge that I purchased the phone outright and it's paid for, my employer is on a 2-year agreement, and this phone is tied to that agreement.
However, my employer issued me an upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy and that is what I am running on this line now. So, the line still active, but the iPhone is now a $500 paperweight because I cannot allow my wife to use it on her carrier's service until AT&T allows me to unlock the phone in another 6 months. But again, I own this phone, that is what is so frustrating! I actually believe that since I own the phone, AT&T should be legally required to allow the phone to be unlocked. It should have nothing to do with the line, since the line is still active on another phone. What is the point in AT&T making me have a useless iPhone at this point?

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P907A) last December when it was featured on sale on BestBuy. The device came with an option to activate AT&T service, but it was not mandatory. I paid full price for the device. I expected to be able to unlock the device and use it on travel to other countries, and also any carrier I chose within USA. This made it essential that I should be able to unlock the device. I asked BestBuy to help me unlock the device, and I was told repeatedly to contact AT&T as it was an AT&T device and only AT&T could unlock it. So, I contacted AT&T. AT&T allows you to unlock your device provided it has been purchased in full. Or you can be a customer for 60 days and then unlock.
First, I contacted them to unlock outright as I had paid the full price upfront. I was passed through various customer agents and was finally told it couldn't be done. Then I pointed them to their own web page which clearly stated it could be done. Now, they said ok, and took all my tablet information, including my IMEI number. I was told I would receive an email indicating what happens. Two days later I got an e-mail saying the device could not be unlocked as they did not have the "IMEI" in their database. I do not understand how this can be as the device is AT&T, the device on opening displays AT&T logo. I contacted customer service again, and they said they could do nothing, and I should contact Samsung for unlock code.
So I contacted Samsung. After much back and forth, Samsung said that they had the device registered in their database, and that AT&T should provide me unlock code. Contacted At&T again, again no unlock code. Same story, the IMEI is not registered in their database. During all of this back and forth between companies, 14 days had passed, and I could no longer return/exchange my tablet. Finally, I became a AT&T customer, and waited 2 months. Apparently, they can provide service on my tablet, give 4G access, but the IMEI of my tablet is still "unregistered" in their database. Now I have given up...
I only wanted to have a tablet that would make my life easier and be fun to use. Now its nothing more than a 700 bucks of useless device which I cannot use (I bought it mainly for travel, and without data, it's pretty useless). The tablet is good overall, from whatever I have managed to use of it, but I would NOT recommend to ever buy from BestBuy or AT&T. I am extremely disappointed in the customer service both of Best Buy and AT&T. I would never be purchasing/ getting services from either in future.

I decided that maybe it was time to move up the ladder of phone service so I started by calling into AT&T to get a new phone and join the line a family member. First Call: My aunt and I called AT&T on a three way to open this new line and get an iPhone 6. We were both on the phone with the first rep. who greeted us properly and started collecting info to acquire the billing amount. After she was done she told me I had to pay $500.00 to open a line and an additional 200.00 for the phone which makes no sense as I could buy the phone for that price and maybe even unlocked.
Anyway we pleaded with her to find a way to lower that amount maybe to installments. So she finally got a fee waiver for us and the amount was now 249.99 to open the line and 199.99 for the phone. So I gave my card number and made the payment for the iPhone 6 that was supposed to be delivered in 2 days. The phone never came and this was after 5 business days.
Second Call: I explained to the rep that the phone I paid for never came and she said that she's going to put the money back into my account as opposed to seeing why it was never shipped. I told her I still wanted the phone and if she could check the status of my order I would appreciate it. She did that or pretended to do it and said after a brief moment that there's nothing that can be done and she placed the money back into my account. Then she told me however that I could open a new application for the phone... at this point I'm like... ok... sure. She did that and told me to wait for a call in two days confirming the info and then to pay for the phone... two days later... no call, no phone...
Third Call: I think the call was directed to Texas and this was the most disrespect I had experienced in my entire life. I called and a rep answered and before I could utter a word, she said, "I'm currently busy so I'm going to transfer you to another rep," and then did so... about 15 minutes later a rep answered and sounding very annoyed. She asked, "What can I do for you?" So I proceeded to tell her what was wrong and in the middle of that she cut me off and told me to just go to a store and stop calling so much so at that moment I asked to speak to her manager.
She hung up on me so I called back and asked another rep to speak to their manager when I was placed me on hold for almost 35 minutes and a manager finally answered. I explained to the manager what was the matter and she told me that she would do her best to work it out (by this time, my aunt's credit was ran 4 times and my credit was ran 3 times throughout the period from the first to the current phone call). She told me that the issue was due to the address the product was being sent to (because it wasn't the account holder's address). So I said, "Fine, send it to her address and she will bring it to me." She said, "Ok, your total is 851.99." So I asked why and she told me that she checked my credit and the amount to open the line was 500.00 and the amount for the phone was 321.99.
So I told her I couldn't afford it and with the smallest regards for a potential customer she said, "Then I can't help you" (and I heard people laughing in the background). With that being said she transferred me to another rep (which during that process I stayed on hold for 20 minutes). Now furious, the rep answered the phone and I told her I would never ever think about even starting a service with them and I would write their corporate office and that's when the lady on the phone apologized for all the troubles and again asked me to hold... Eventually after holding for an additional 25 minutes, I was tired of being tossed around like a hot potato and I hung up and never called back.
I ended up going to Sprint which may not have the best network coverage but they sure do have the best service. I called them and within two days I received my phone and I paid a total of $399.99 for my brand new line and the phone (insurance included) and it was all done in a matter of 15 minutes over the phone. I honestly wouldn't recommend AT&T to anyone I know, neither would I ever use it even if it was the last company on the face of this earth... I think I would stick to receiving messages in a bottle...

I absolutely think AT&T is absolutely the worst phone company, that there ever was and ever could be. You absolutely cannot cancel your contract. Oh, they will absolutely charge you a fortune. I have been to the office in Bozeman and they absolutely tell me one thing and when I call up the main phone company, they absolutely tell me something else. So, they absolutely should get together and get their stories straight in the first place. Such as I added two people on phone line and they told me that it would only cost me $110.00 a month. But, when I get me bills, they run from $170.00 up to $291.00 per month. Plus we had road side assistance and insurance on our phones. Every time we told them to get rid of them. They said, that they would. Because, it would absolutely show up on our very next bill.
Plus, we took back a phone and told them, that my grandson and his wife has not been able to talk on their cell phone, and then had happen for at least a month or two. So, my daughter try to call them also and she could never reach them either. Because, it absolutely said that their line had been disconnected. But, they absolutely would not do anything about this either. Plus, one of our cells phone number, seemed to be changing all of the time for some odd reason or another. So, we took it in and told them about it and they did not seem to try to figure out what was wrong with the cell phone. All they said, that someone may have hacked the number. Which, they absolutely did not check into either.
Plus, they said that my cell phone was due on the eight-teen day of this month. Which, we absolutely found out what was a whole bunch of horse **. Because, we called up and told them we were going to cancel all of our phones, if we did not get our bill, down where it was suppose to be. So, they had me and my grandson, talk to four people. We, finally got a hold of this guy, who absolutely told us the truth about everything. Because, he told us he had my full account, right in front of him. He said, that my phone, was the only phone, we had a contract on and that my contact, was set up in January instead of June. Like ever else kept on telling me.
Plus, he said that my account was so messed up, that he was just going to cancel my full account. But, we got a bill in the mail. That said, I owe Thousand and five dollars. So, I called up to find out the reason why and they said that I or someone else, canceled my service. Which, I absolutely did not do and if someone else canceled the service without my permission. It absolutely is AT&T fault. Because, I absolutely called them up and told them not to let anyone get in my account but me.
So, as you can see, this is why I said that this was the worst company, there ever was or there will ever be. Plus, my girlfriend and I use to have Al Tel phone service and they changed it to AT&T. So, we called up AT&T and asked them if our phones would absolutely be turned on the day they were suppose to be. They said yes. But, this was a great big lie also. Because, it absolutely took us all day long to have our phones turned on. Which was absolutely a great big lie also.

Ok this is the second time I've dealt with AT&T and it was just as bad as the first cause this time I had U-Verse and they sent my bill to an unknown address and gave me the run around. When I asked the first time about my bill which was last month but now they notify me I'm two months past due and they did this to me in 2012. I swear I'll never use AT&T's services ever again and I'd rather shoot myself in my manhood than deal with the retards known as AT&T. They ** you and they're so stupid. I'm surprised they are actually in business. They should just all quit their jobs and give them to people who are not dumber than a marshmallow.

I have had At&t for over a year now... unfortunately. They have messed up my bill every month. They will go behind your back and give you the most expensive services. The services would mess up all the time. I would have to call At&t Support every month or have someone out to fix it. If you look at the equipment wrong it'll break. The people who work there do not take notes or perform their job properly. You have to constantly repeat all the problems you've ever had with At&t when you call because they won't take notes. This is a shady scamming company and I would NEVER refer them to someone else.

I "upgraded" to the new Samsung Note Edge for myself and purchased a Samsung 4 for my mother. I have been with AT&T for 11 years. They shipped the phone to my mother, who is 75. The Roseville store and Highland store in Minnesota refused to help her. She has had nothing but problems with her new phone. I thought it was her. Ha! I began having problems. I followed what I was told to do. Finally, they reset my phone - twice. Still did not work. I called every day for over 2 weeks. I went in to the Devils Lake store.
The manager spent over an hour and a half talking to the IT manager. I get home, it still doesn't work. NOW, I get to pay for a used phone instead of the new phone I purchased because it is passed the 14 days even though I am passed the 14 days because of AT&T. I talked to a manager, who smugly told me, I had to accept their conditions or have no phone at all. REALLY. Each phone service has the consumer by the throat and they know it. There is absolutely nothing we as consumers can do but be angry about the entire situation. Someone needs to put a stop to the Bull. My next step is to complain about Samsung.

I've been using AT&T for over 6 years now. Since Sept 2014 my data speed has dropped down to less than 1MBPS (0.43mbps average). Now LTE boasts about having an average of 18MBPS. I've never seen over 3MBPS and I pay $135/mo for 'unlimited data'. I've been calling AT&T since last Nov regarding this issue. They've open up several cases for me but have resolved nothing. Their only offer was to offer me a micro antenna in my home to get better data speeds. I explained I don't have data problems at home because I'm logged on to my home's WiFi.
I also have this problem island wide, so it's not like I can bring this micro antenna with me all over the island (since it's installed in my home). I refused because it wouldn't solve anything but still have been getting on average .43mbps. Now you may be thinking, "Well, you've gone past your throttled amount and therefore speeds have gone done until your billing cycle starts over again." - Wrong. I get these speeds all the time and I don't go over my data speeds since I can't download much because it's so slow. Each time I call, they put me on hold for 45 min or longer, just to do the same thing, open another case file which resolves nothing.

I had an agent from AT&T call me and left me a voice mail. This was over 4 days ago. Since then I have tried calling her back 4 times and left voice mails for her to return my call, however she has yet to reach back out to me so nothing has been done with this company. At this time I am also seeking legal help with this issue as it does not seem that AT&T is worried about one small complaint so I think it is time to take this a little higher and get a few more folks involved in this issue as I know personally I am not the only one who has been done this way. I almost lost my job yesterday over this same issue. And the girl who works beside me had the same call along with a ton of other agents so I know it is not just me with this problem.
We were given a bunch of loaded responses to give to these customers to which none of them solve the customer's issue. They are just excuses to give to them hoping the customer will shut up about the double bill they are getting... But I was told by many of the managers and others in charge in several depts. that I spoke with yesterday for the customer I was dealing with and they all said that on top of this extra bill that they will still get another bill for the same amount in Aug which proves to me they did nothing but overbill everyone for no reason. Plus I just got a text 2 days ago that I have saved to my phone saying there would be more changes to everyone's due dates in Aug. So this seems like another scam to get everyone to pay another double bill for no reason. They are saying it has nothing to do with the cycle dates. Meaning the start and stop dates it was only supposed to change the due dates.
If it was only changing the due dates then how did it generate a whole new bill for the same month just due on a later date in the month. Now if a customer calls in and asks to go back to their due date they had before then yes they will be getting a partial bill and then a bill that is way higher the following month as the old due date they had before now does have different start and stop dates on them. Most of the people asking to go back are elderly folks who only get a check once a month. So they have no choice but to ask to go back.
And since AT&T put in new billing start and stop dates for the old due dates then this does cause them to have to over pay again. But the so call only changing the due date per some type of system change AT&T had did not change the start and stop dates so there should have never been an extra bill... I have printed all the info needed on this as well as saved the text from the other day about the new change in Aug. Someone needs to put a stop to this company being so greedy as if they do not make enough money every day. Now they are just stealing money from people for no reason.
Ok so I finally got them to return my call... And the only thing she wanted to do was make up more excuses same as they did the other day while I was at work. We were always told you do not go by the dates at the top of these bills. You go by the dates above each number on the bill which is always billed in advance..." IN ADVANCE. She tried telling me that you go by the date at the top of the bill which is always different to make it look like you are not being billed in advance which is how they get customers to pay for extra services after they have cancelled their lines as they do not credit it back out unless the customer calls in about the charges. She was saying your bill is due way before the due date that they just give you extra days to pay it so if my bill was due on the 1st of July then according to her it was actually due way before then but that I chose to pay it by the last day.. Really???
So put yourself in my shoes the same as all the other customers who are calling in about this issue have to do and you have to live paycheck to paycheck every month. You get all your bills in and plan them out to when you are going to pay them. You have all the due dates and all the bills in hand and you schedule each one to be paid on specific days when you get paid and you only have a little bit of money left. Now that you have all those bills paid you log into your AT&T account and find that you now already have another bill in their system that has not even gotten to you in the mail yet and it has a due date of July 28th... And they tell you that it is for services from June 7- July 6. But wait we were always told to tell the customer to look at the dates above each phone number on the bill which has dates going from July 7- Aug 6... So this would make sense being that they tell us you're billed in advance.
But if a customer makes any changes then they add extra charges on everyone's bills claiming that since you are billed in advance then you have to now pay for the changes that were done the month prior on the current bill even though you already paid for this service. So they still charge you for the month in advance plus the changes you made. Now back to the issue at hand. If you got all your bills paid for July and now can breathe knowing everything is paid and then you find out you have another bill due for July 27th after you just paid your bill for July and then they tell you that you will still get another bill in Aug as well as every month after that then what does that tell you? YOU GOT ANOTHER BILL IN THE SAME MONTH SO 2 BILLS FOR JULY...
Now this change would have made more sense had they said we have to pay this one on July 27th and we won't get another bill until Sept. But this is not the case. She says she will be contacting the FCC to inform them that I would not listen to anything she was saying as well as contacting AT&T so I'm pretty sure I will lose my job come tomorrow but I am not done with this issue and will take it as far as I need to!!!

First, from the start, AT&T has started to bill for Uverse SERVICE even if the service has not been met after almost a month. But you cannot get credit until you pay. So I paid, after 2 months I received little credits. I also complained that I never received my rebate. Then it's been forgotten. Then I RECENTLY did not pay more than a month. They have suspended the service but continued to bill me for the following month even if THERE IS no SERVICE.
I called & said, "I'm paying for the past due. But for the current bill, can you issue me PARTIAL credits since the service was interrupted in the middle of the period? This means I did not use the internet." They refused & said I'm responsible to it still & it's up to me if I would like to pay. I asked, "If I don't pay will I go to collection agency?" Said "yes" but they cannot issue any adjustment. I said, "You don't understand. Say, I did not pay last month's bill & for the NEXT following month that the service is disconnected, & you still billed me for the following month that there is no service, knowing it's disconnected & I still have to pay?" She said yes I'm responsible to it. I said, "Can I talk to your manager?" She said, "There is no manager." I spoke to another rep. -- same answer. Ripped off!!
Warning to all: Look to your bill. If you are canceling your service with AT&T & since their bill is prepaid, make sure you use up that service up to the date of the billing period as they do not issue credits for the unused period of service. For example, you get a bill today for the period of today up to 30 days from now & you cancel the service next week, you STILL NEED TO PAY FOR THE FULL INVOICE (OR FULL MONTH OF THE INVOICE), AS THE CONSUMER IS RESPONSIBLE TO IT, as they say.

No wonder US Government Antitrust broke up AT&T in the past. When a company has the power to slip charges in without upfront disclosure, then it believes it's politically powerful enough to get away with anything.

Each month I have phoned up to query why the bill is different and each time I was told that the taxes went up. I told the rep that as bad as the government is they do not raise taxes every month. I sent an email to the president office and a young man phoned back to say that it really wasn't the taxes that were going up it was at&t surcharges! I told him that whilst I can understand surcharge it was unfair that I have to pay a different charge (higher every month). The young chap told me that the highest they can charge is 1.25.
The issue that I am having is - none of my mates that have at&t is seeing a difference in their bill monthly so how can they justify charging some customers and not all? I know the answer to that - because they are a big rip off! I send another message to the president office - what a joke - and the same chap phoned me back.

Don't even bother about contacting the president because they are just as worthless as the people at the 800#. When AT&T learn to treat their customer with value they will eventually get back to the good standard that they used to have.

I'm so mad I had to sign up just to leave complaints somewhere. I've had Agent name FERNANDO helping me with upgrading my phone. Was hesitant at first because who's got extra money these days? But he was nice to offer me 3 months of installments waived for me if I go ahead and upgrade. Installments were like $28. But since I'm on next plan, that didn't look too appealing. Asked him if he can put that amount towards next month bill, I'd go ahead and upgrade. which he said he would. He told me since he can't put credit towards future bill, he'd call me sometime that month and apply credit at that time. I've completely forgot about it until I saw the bill this month, and guess what? NO CREDIT.
So I called in and spoke to RANETRA **, customer service rep, who sounded she got no interest to my problem - would only repeat "I don't see that credit on my system". Hello? Why the hell does she think I called? Don't think I KNOW that? Since she did not show ANY sign of willingness to help, I have asked for supervisor. Puts me on hold for good 20 minutes, then person name CARLOS ** answered. Then the explaining goes on for another 10 mins. He also sounds not interested, even chuckles few times like why am I bothering him with MY problems. He said he can't and will not help me find that agent, nor do anything about this false promise.
All I know is AT&T does not care about customers and will not hesitate to scam customers for their gain. I disgusted with the service AT&T provides and how AT&T trains their sales rep and so called supervisors. NEVER, EVER USE AT&T.

I have been with AT&T for more than 10 years. I bought a phone in 2013 with them two years ago and they said I don't have to have a contract with them. Just last month i stopped at the same store and the sales guy mentioned that I don't have a contract with them and I can switch to any other carrier so I did. I also called customer service to get a pin to unlock and they also didn't mentioned anything about my contract. Since i switched to T-Mobile, they also terminated my online account. Now I received a bill with $125 charge for contract termination fee. I spoke to the customer service person- Daniel **. It turns out they only mention the contract date in the first paper you sign with them and she cannot even mail me the documents I sign or email it to me. And there is no way she will take out that charge for me. AT&T is a BIG LIAR and they HIDE THINGS FROM THEIR CUSTOMER. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T.

From the start... I should have had so many promises about how good the product was and how reliable it was. First off that has always been a lie. I've dealt with bill problems after bills problem being promised a solved solution that still hasn't came nearly 6 months later. Finally, I had the notion last time I talked to someone that maybe I could use the rewards card they sent me when I upgraded to U-Verse (In which I was told I would NEVER receive any more charges from DSL) to pay the bill that I got sent for using a modem. Whoever I was on the phone with that day in fact NEVER said I couldn't do so. In fact, the only thing they mentioned was that it may take a few days to take effect once I activated it.
Today on July 8, I was told I couldn't use it. Are you KIDDING me? A bill I shouldn't even have to pay giving what I've been through, I can't pay using a stinking card. I have more important things I need 100 dollars for than some bill that has done nothing but HAUNT me. That's not even the best part... For several months before we finally figured out why I was even receiving two bills, every person I talked to could identify why I had two bills and kept reassuring me that there was only one for U-Verse. I can honestly say that dealing with At&t has become the stuff of nightmares, and that's lightly. I have been nothing but emotionally and stressfully traumatized by At&t. Fortunately for them, I can't really do anything about it right now since we will be moving out soon. Unfortunately for them... As soon as I can bolt, me or anyone else I know will never be seeing your business AGAIN. Yes, angry is an understatement.

AT&T is the worst. On the 1st of July I made a payment on my boyfriend's account with my bank card. A week previously I had called AT&T and asked them "all I have to do is pay the past due balance in full & my service will be restored." They said "yes your service will be restored" but they said my boyfriend couldn't use his card because it had been denied too many times. I said "how can it be denied too many times if we never signed up for automated pay?" Of course they had no answer. So I used my card with the understanding that I was only paying the due amount. I authorized the due amount. After I called them I called my card to see if the payment went through because they kept saying the payment was denied. When I called the card it said they had taken $30 dollars more than they were authorized to for an account my boyfriend never gave them permission to open. I was livid.
I called AT&T six different times. Everyone I spoke to was completely careless. I even spoke to a supposed supervisor who did absolutely nothing. No one could tell me why another account was open or why my money was placed in the account or why they took an unauthorized payment from me in the first place. They said they were giving me a refund and it would be on my card within 5 days. Nothing. I called back to find that they used the $100 payment towards a bill that magically became $107. WTF!!! I was told for weeks before that our bill would be $68.90 and only $68.90. Where the hell did $107 come from??? Then all of a sudden the old account is cancelled and an unauthorized new account is thrown in our laps asking for a advance pay of $100. Now where the hell did this come from.
I told them my boyfriend never called and said he wanted an additional account - they completely ignored me. So my boyfriend said "screw it, they took the money from me so we might as well pay the advance to get the WiFi back on." He goes to the AT&T store to put the advance on the account and they come at us with "oh well he needs direct deposit and a credit card to get service back on". WTF. How can you continue to take our money and then say "oh we can't give you service". I literally hate this company. It truly stinks. They are frauds and their employees are trained to be incompetent. I want my full refund NOW without all the BS and excuses.

Back in March 2014 I was solicited to join direct through AT&T representative. I was told that if I got home phone, Internet, and DIRECTV automatically debited from my account that my total bill for all three services will only be a hundred and fifty dollars with text. Ever since I started this service with AT&T Indirect I have had an issue just about every month for the first 7 to 8 months. I decided yesterday to check my bill online due to I don't receive paper bills just to see my balance. Something told me to check it and when I did it showed I was paying $43 more than what I had agreed to.
I called AT&T to find out what happened and why is my bill not what I was promised. I was told by the representative that there is nothing that he can do about my bill. He was very short and dry with the whole conversation. He over talk to me - he cut me off, and when I ask a question he never answered the question. He was just go to say "Well I'm not changing the bill cuz that's what you agree to." I explained to him "I did not agree to a $43 hide in my bill." He then told me that they put me on a promotional package for 12 months. I explained to him I was not informed of a promotional package. I was told my bill will be this certain amount $150 with text and nothing more. I was never told about a package. I was only told that if I combine the bills together and have them come out of my account that my balance will remain the same.
As you can see it is now July 6, 2015, and now my is more than what I can originally afford. That is the reason why I was offered to do the direct debit with a set amount. I ask the customer service rep what can be done to rectify the situation. He was very blunt and rude - tell me that I'm stuck with the bill, there is nothing that I can do and that he works for AT&T and he knows what they tell. In the same sentence he states that they should have told me all of the correct information. I then asked him did he hear what he just said the whole time.
There is a DIRECTV representative on the phone with me trying to rectify the situation on why my bill was hyped up. The representative AT&T preceded to cut both of us off when we ask question. He talk to both of us, very very poor customer service. I asked him for a supervisor. The representative told me NO, that I could not speak with another supervisor or manager. I asked him "Are these calls recorded?" He said yes then the representative from DIRECTV ask him to put another supervisor on the phone that is over him. He put us on hold and came back to the phone. It sounded like the same representative.
I asked the young man if he is supervisor of the last representative he said yes he is DIRECTV representative. Asked him what was his support number he gave me ** as his operator support number and before I could explain what was going on he immediately went to the defensive side and told me that I was informed about the promotional plan. I again told him "I was not informed about the promotional plan." I told him "I was on your form. If I have everything to come out of my account that I will stay at a discount rate long as is coming directly out of my account of which it is." I asked him for a manager. The young man operator number ** . He put us on hold then he disconnected the call.
As long as I have been with AT&T I have never had this type of poor customer service ever. It makes me want to disconnect my services and go with Charter or some other company that has respect for that customers and that was show it and that would try to assist the customer instead of fighting the customer every way and not trying to be of any help at all.

I had my newly upgraded iPhone 6 stolen on February 7th, 2015 and I suspended my device immediately. The phone was surely locked with password while it was stolen. I went to AT&T store and Apple store and took all the steps that I could do in the situation, fully followed the representatives' instructions. I wasn't able to locate the phone because the thief shut off the phone. I requested to erase my phone but the request got pending for two months, because the phone wasn't in wi-fi environment. I reported it stolen and AT&T people said it should be on blacklist and anyone wouldn't be able to use it.
However, on Feb 14th, my iMessage received unexpected texts. I could see the texts between the thief and another unknown person because he was using my iCloud account, which means he passed through the password and got access to my iPhone. In the texts, the thief was bragging that he stealed an iPhone 6 and he was at an AT&T store to do things. Notice that, he started to be able to use my iPhone to send text at the moment he arrived AT&T store! What can I assume then? Who else can help him at AT&T store to get access to an locked phone?
I went to an AT&T store immediately to ask why he was able to get help at AT&T store and got access to my iPhone meanwhile, and why can he keep using my phone after I report the stolen. The representatives were not helpful at all and denied the possibility for them to help a customer to unlock a phone. I'm 100% sure that I don't know the thief and he didn't know the password. My lock screen even appeared a clear photo of me, which I think anyone would notice the difference.
I called customer service to confirm it's on the blacklist multiple times. It was reported stolen in Feb. However, on the record, my iPhone 6 was reactivated on April 23th and on that day, the request of erasing the phone finally got through. So the thief has already reactivated my stolen phone while I am still paying the bill. I am extremely terrified by the fact that he/she could be able to reactivate the device without my authorization. I was told only the person who has my account information/personal information can reactivate the device. That can be considered a fraud.
OR there's another way to explain it: One of the representatives I spoke to told me that: from the IMEI number recorded, she thought the phone was reported a stolen phone back in 2014, which means the phone was on blacklist back in 2014 before I purchased it. However, I purchased the phone from an AT&T store as an upgrade alternative. She told me that may explain why I couldn't get the phone onto blacklist and why other people can also reactivate the phone. It's because I am NOT the initial owner of the phone. If that's true, I have to ask, why employee at AT&T sold a stolen phone to me? How many other people like me got stolen phones from AT&T?
That's not even the whole story. I realized yesterday (June 1st) that the device has insurance since last October. I went to AT&T store to report the theft and tried to find replacement many times but nobody had ever told me that I have insurance on that device. Certainly nobody told me at the beginning when I purchased the phone combining the insurance. It appears on the bill that I got the insurance along with the upgrade. I am not the primary account holder and wasn't paying attention to every bill that I paid. But I still have the right to know the insurance status in the first place.
I called again to customer service and got terrible attitude and an answer like this: "The insurance charges appeared on monthly bills so it's not our fault that you don't read the bill. If you have complaint of the agent who sold you phone in the store, provide his name and his manager's name, otherwise we cannot help. You don't have any names? GOOD. Even you have it, they probably are not working at AT&T anymore. There's nothing more we can do to help." Those are the words she used in the phone interview.
I called the insurance company yesterday, of course they said it's too late to file a claim because the phone was stolen 5 months ago. They only accept claim within 60 days. They didn't care what do I think about AT&T and told me that's AT&T's responsibility. I think AT&T definitely has responsibility for the customer service behavior as well as the guy who sold me the phone and hidden the insurance information. The insurance feels like a fraud to me.
With hours and hours of calls, I NEVER got any straight answer from AT&T's response for months. What I got is only confusion and anger.1. Suspicious: They sold stolen phone to customer for upgrade.
2. Suspicious: They helped thief to unlocked iPhone!
3. Violation: They hide the insurance charge information and didn't inform me neither when I was purchasing the phone nor when I was reporting and finding replacement for the stolen phone.
4. Violation: They reactivate my stolen phone for the thief without my authorization.
5. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
After all this questioning, it's difficult and ridiculous for me to keep paying the bill for the stolen device and the insurance. I will definitely cancel the service and wouldn't recommend anyone to use AT&T and the Asurion insurance.

I noticed the phone was not working properly, even after re-starting and taking the battery out. The system was slow, unable to answer some calls and unable to make some calls. I ended up with the Warranty Dept who took the phone through a series of tests, including sending me instructions for a system re-set. It was determined I need a new battery, which was sent expedited, a photo bucket app was installed to capture my pictures, although I also had prior installed Eversnap app.
Recently around (6/15) I began having problems unable to answer incoming phone calls; the green answer button was either slow or did not work. I missed numerous calls this way. I have health issues and am undergoing chemotherapy and trying to work; I can't afford to miss calls or not be able to contact my doctors when needed. I can't have my cell phone on at work.
I also noticed my visual voicemail was giving me the same caller message in spite of receiving 3 calls from 3 different people; the voicemail on all three were from the same caller, but the ID's showed different names. The system started slowing down in spite of not using Bluetooth or any settings that may slow the system down. All my Apps were cleared. I only used Wi-Fi, sound, Battery saver, Rotation and Sync. I only use about 1.75gb monthly.
Trying to navigate AT&T's site to re-confirm my Warranty Expiration date was impossible; After much frustration, I ended with a Live Chat gentleman to offer assistance. After advising him of my previous problems with the battery and telling him I ended up receiving a new one through the Warranty Dept.; I was told I had the options of paying the $338.29 due on my current phone (I usually commit to a two year agreement and renew and upgrade my phone within 2 mos. of expiration) OR I could pay $193.36 to upgrade to a new device.
When questioned further, he put another Chat Lady on and I had to explain all over again the issues I was having with a phone Under Warranty. She told me I could go online to order the phone I wanted (the Samsung Note latest edition available). Well, she said she would be glad to handle that for me; but lo and behold, after being on the phone chats FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR IF NOT MORE, She told me her system or whatever wasn't working and she would have to transfer me to a Sales chat person. I specifically asked her if she made notes on my account so I wouldn't have to repeat this whole thing again. She assured me "yes" and next thing I know a new Chatter is on...

I am so disappointed with AT&T. I've been with them for about 7 years at this point and stuck with them time and time again after many experiences of dishonest behavior from them. I'm leaving shortly because at this point this phone company is becoming more and more conniving. A couple years back I had been slipped additional features that I did not want. They were small (total of about $10 a month) and I told them that I wanted them removed immediately once I had spotted them in my paperwork when I was upgrading my phone and renewing my contract of my phone. They said they removed them. 38 days into owning my brand new iPhone 4S, it stopped working for no reason. Took it to the Apple Store and they said it just happened to be a bad one and that it had internal hard drive failure. Took it back up to the AT&T store and they said they wouldn't replace it and that I was basically on my own.
Left store in tears (and phone less) after about 2 hours of begging them to replace it. A couple months later I noticed my bill was higher than usual and when I contacted AT&T, I was told that they were "government fees" and that I was stilled adjusting to my new phone plan. I believed them like a moron and continued paying nearly $100 a month for my phone plan. I wish I had known that I could have gone online to see my phone plan at this point. Recently, after getting my hours cut at my job, I knew I had to make cuts somewhere and decided to see if I could go into my actual data plan online.
Once I figured it out I noticed that these "government fees" were an insurance THAT SHOULD HAVE replaced my phone a couple years back. Fuming, I called AT&T and demanded that they refund me for the years of unwanted charges and they said that they could only go "3 months back". At this point in the conversation, I could hear other people talking in the background; giggling. The man I was speaking to on the phone couldn't have cared less about me and I feel as if I was put on speaking phone and being made fun of by a room full of AT&T employees.

Internet went out on a Thursday. Called AT&T. They said a Technician will be here on Sunday between 8 am and 8 pm. 5 minutes before 8 pm they called. Tech can't make it because of heavy workload. Try again on Monday. Talked to many agents all their specialist. Nobody can tell me when someone is coming. I have a 85 year old mother in Germany who gets very worried when she can't reach me on Skype. I am still waiting for Tech to show up. Talked endlessly to agents. Nobody is helping. Wish I would have read the reviews beforehand.

My Husband and I were moving and had poor customer service from AT&T, so we decided to disconnect the home phone and use someone else for Internet but continue our mobile phones until our contracts were up. AT&T was notified of this in January and given our new address. We always did a combined bill so when I received our bills at our new address I paid them each month by calling their 611 number. On June 26th, I got a phone call from a collections agency... (??!!) I am always on time with payments and I know for a fact that they should have contacted me first. I called multiple times to AT&T that day. When I turned off home service, that automatically "splits " the bills so that my mobile balance didn't show what I still owed.
No one tells you this, but I also know that my phone and wireless service NEVER came to over $200 which they say I owe for that 1 month. So all of this is strange. After talking with AT&T, it was discovered they sent the warning letter to my OLD address even though they have my new address. They is fishy all around and I know for a fact they were already paid up, but I paid over $200 to have them quit with the collections agency. I'm pretty sure they botched my otherwise perfect credit, so I'm angry beyond words!

AT&T is a fraudulent company. Yes, the service is good but the problem doesn't only rely on the unlimited data but they also do it to those who have 4gb or 2gb of data. I've been charged on several occasions several overage charges when I shouldn't of been and no helps you. I've reached out several times to the customer service department and no one was able to give me an explanation. At first, they got me good, they had me thinking that I was really overusing data but then the charges were more frequent.
I started getting $60.00 overage charges and I have a 4gb plan. They would tell me I'm over my data when I would clearly have an entire gb left to use, sometimes 2gb left to use. I've spoken to several people who has AT&T and they've been experiencing the same thing. One day, I decided to look up how many times AT&T has been sued and BOOM there it was. I would like to cancel my service with this company and I want a refund for my last year of data because that isn't fair to me or the other customers out there.

I am having charging issues with my Samsung S5. I've had this issue from day one 14 months ago. AT&T told me it's the charger cord. I went to an independent service provider. They told me it was the phone. Finally today the charger doesn't work at all. I went by their store in the Rockingham Mall in Salem NH for help. I was told it would be 15 minutes or so. I waited over 30 minutes. I asked their greeter for a status. He told me they called my name and I didn't answer so I lost my place (WHAT?). I was standing in their store with my friend all along. I asked if he could help me. He said 5 minutes. 10 minutes later he has me third in line. Are you kidding me? What a difference when you are buying their phones vs. asking for help... I'm done with them...

The service is bad. My internet has been down for three days and every time a tech comes out they find some reason to leave saying they will come back and finish the job and then when I call support all they do is keep pushing the date back over and over again and nothing changes. This isn't the first time this happened.

Every single time I call to refill my prepaid accounts for my wife and I, there's always an issue. They never understand what I'm saying. I'm not being racist, but why can't half the staff I call speak fluent English? I always have to repeat myself 3-4 times. Its so ** annoying. Sorry but I am always raising my voice and asking to be transferred. Horrible ** service. If AT&T wasn't the best service for the base I'm at I would not be using this service.

I have been an AT&T customer for a year now and it has been a nightmare. They are by far the worst company I have ever been with. They don't care about their customers at all! All they want to do is charge more and more money towards you. They have done nothing to help me or my problem. I couldn't receive calls or make calls which was a big problem for me and they wanted to charge me money when it was their fault for selling me a piece of junk! It's like they absolutely don't care that you will have issues about your phone. I regret signing a contract with them. I wish I never walked into their store. It has been a horrible experience being a part of AT&T. I warn you please never sign a contract with AT&T - you will regret it severely!

We had service for two hours and have had the difference appointment where a tech guy has never showed up to fix our net but they still want to charge us for services. Very disappointed in AT&T. Would not recommend them to anyone. Plus for tech guy was very rude and disrespectful - told us not to ask them to come hook up services when you're moving in.

AT&T is the worst ever. I'm on a 2 year contract. The lady told me that my first bill was going to be over $100 which I understand! My plan is $66 a month, but when I go online and check my phone plan, it says $80 a month! That's not what I wanted!

Let me start off by saying I had my lines on military suspension for two years. So now I am coming back stateside so I bought 4 new iPhones while stationed in Korea. Was informed that I had 30 days to activate my insurance. I activated the phones within those 30 days and the customer rep (so she said) enrolled me in the insurance plan. 1 month later flying to Hawaii hubby's phone is stolen. Call AT&T... No issue... Talk me through Asurion claim... Denied... Call them... No insurance! What? Yep, been on the phone for days, hours today, getting the runaround, only to find out the rep only insured two lines; didn't inform me, no email, nothing. And seeing now that my 30 days are up... I'm out of luck... You know this should not be allowed legally... They even admitted it was their error but nothing they can do. Wow, I know I have been out the country for a couple of years but AT&T has really sunk low where they are scamming folk...

I was going out of town and needed to purchase my husband's Father's Day gift before I left town. I went to the AT&T Snellville store on June 3, 2015, and purchased a FitBit Charge. I told them it was for Father's Day and asked if that would be a problem if he wanted to return it. I was told, "ABSOLUTELY NOT." I gave the gift to him on Father's Day (5 days ago). He told me that he did not think he would use it because it was too complicated. (He is 71.) We tried to take it back today. Imagine my surprise when I was told that they would not take it back because I purchased it more than 14 days ago. I asked to speak to the manager. That was a waste of time. He was totally unconcerned with my problem. His attitude and lack of customer service are the cause of my canceling our service with AT&T as soon as I can talk to Verizon and Comcast. I also plan to post my disappointment with AT&T on Facebook and other social media.

I have been on an assignment overseas and put my service on-hold. I returned to US for a week and went back overseas on another assignment. I put my service on-hold online but AT&T kept charging me full amount for no service rendered. I noticed my bill after 3 months where AT&T charged me in full even though my service on-hold and then eventually cancelled my service. Once I called them and explained that I put my service on-hold, I was told that "you cannot put your service on-hold twice in one year". My online request went through, I was not told that I couldn't do that and AT&T kept charging me each month. I have been a loyal customer for 10+ years and I would never use AT&T ever again.

Oh, where to begin! I received an email informing me that my cell phone service would be suspended if I did not make a payment today. For some unknown reason my husband received texts (account is in my name) about the unpaid bill but this was my first notice. I reviewed my bank statement and saw that payments were made in May and two in June. I called AT&T to resolve the problem. Seems that because the bill includes both U-verse internet and telephone, no one can access the bill for both services. For one hour I was bounced around between phone billing and U-verse - sort of like riding the clown car in the circus. Got NO where after speaking with 6 people.
I have had this combined service for at least 5 years. Today phone people said I have not paid since April while U-verse people could only pull up info on a separate U-verse account and said I have a $9 credit. One kept referring to my home phone account even when told I only have cell phones. Takes a real genius to isolate the billing for the two services. I can't be the only person who has combined billing. Has anyone else had similar issues with billing? Must say they were very polite and each asked how my day was going and could they discuss other services with me. Very frustrating!

We decided to switch from AT&T because we were consistently charged for overuse of data sometimes to the tune of $300. I talked to a ** at AT&T and she happy enough to help us leave, very friendly, offered lowered (better) plans and so on and simply told us to "make sure and port your number before July 1st so you don't get billed for the July cycle". So I jumped up and ported our phones. Everything went fine until I tried to activate the new service and realized our phones were locked by AT&T... something ** had NOT mentioned even once in our phone call. I called our new provider and they gave me the link to AT&T's unlocking service page. It said that your bill, including ETF (early termination fees) had to be paid in full and then it might take up to 72 HOURS to unlock the phones.
Since I didn't have a phone anymore I got on the AT&T website and opened a chat request. I talked to ** and she listened to my story and told me she was sorry but there wasn't anything she could do until our bill was paid including the ETF. So I paid the bill while on chat. I then explained to her that had ** mentioned ANYTHING about unlocking our phones I would've done that FIRST and then ported our phones after that... But, as it was, our phones were going to be useless for possibly 3 days. She told me she "made it priority" and it should be within 24 hours now (this was after she "couldn't do anything").
The next day when I hadn't heard anything from AT&T I opened another chat. This time with **. She told me it was probably going to be 72 hours before the requests were "processed" since the "ticket" had been opened "just today" (remember it was the day before when I had first chatted with **) that nothing could be done. I told her the same thing - had I KNOWN about the unlocking I would've done it first. I also pointed out that I had paid our FULL bill and ETF the day before. She said she could see about getting it down to 15 hours. This was basically the same timeline as the 24 hours ** had quoted. Mad about it all I tweeted that AT&T was like leaving the mafia and they will hold your phones hostage even AFTER you've paid. ** (@ATTCares) messaged me on Twitter and told me they "wanted to help" and to get on the website and OPEN A CHAT! So... I did so... this time with **.
Again I was treated like it was the first time I had talked to them and said that there was nothing could be done. She said to "give her a minute to read the past chats" and then replied in a way that was obvious she hadn't read anything I'd said before. I told her everything I'd said before and how (now) angry I was and she started telling me that she was an honest person and that AT&T wasn't lying to me nor trying to prevent me from having my phone but that there was "nothing she could do" to help unlock them. I left the chat and will just wait till the 72, 24 or 15 hours is up to be able to do anything on my phone.

Since 11/2014, I have had a problem with AT&T. I first allowed them to switch me to U-Verse, because it was less expensive. Then, when I experienced trouble on the line, THEY determined I needed a new modem. They sent it out, I returned the old one. Then they charged me $120 because they said they didn't receive it. I had to threaten them with legal action to have the charge removed. In May of this year, I started experiencing outages with the phone and internet. They changed modem on June 1. On June 3, I had more outages.
Bottom line, I have had about 2 days of service the month of June. Now I have a $62+ credit on my account. My issue: This bill is automatically charged to my credit card, but AT&T will only give me credit on my bill FOR SERVICES I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED. They are a bully masquerading as a phone company.

At first when I sign the contract the service talk really nice and friendly, but after paying everything and when I realized my phone have problem they sent me to many different place. I don't mind wait more than 30 minutes, but when they ask "what's happen to your phone". I said "it kept kick me out when I use youtube, and also the messenger doesn't run through when I click send". The service people work there said this never happen. And they just reset my phone even though I came so many times to fix the phone. I bought this phone only 6 months but I have to reset more than 10 times. I paid for phone insurance and it still have few months left of guarantee. AT&T does have high signal, but paying so much for nothing...

I used to have Verizon service for my cell phone and switched to AT&T when I went with the internet service which offered an incentive if we bundled Direct TV and internet service. I fell for it and the cell phone service is terrible. Half the time, I cannot use my cell phone because of "no service available." Being retired now, we set up a direct payment system where all the bills are taken directly from our acct. We allow a certain amount of money in the checking acct. to cover the monthly bills and the overage is put into savings.
AT&T for some reason will on occasion not bill me one month then double the bill the next month which throws my budget for that month off. When I call the customer service number, I am put on hold for up to 1/2 hour listening to a recorded message and ugly music. When I finally got to speak to a real person with my concerns, she had such a lisp I could not understand anything she was saying and all she said was that they made a mistake. I am so fed up with this company and I regret having switched from Verizon. I am stuck with AT&T for one more year and I can't wait for this nightmare to be over!!!

Started receiving harassing calls that treated bodily harm to my husband from numbers we did not know. Called the local police department and they told us to call our provider and have them block the numbers. We called AT&T and they refused to do it without charging us $4.99 a month and even then it wouldn't block multimedia messages. To me this is totally unacceptable and I know to be bull crap. They've done it for a friend of mine about 2 years ago. They have horrible customer service and I would rather pay more and switch back to Verizon!

I've had the worst experience and wouldn't want anyone, ANYONE going to the store and getting fooled like I did. Complete disregard for customer service and mismanaged. Here's what I THINK happened: I was on the AT&T NEXT plan since more than a year, 14 months to be precise and got an alert on my phone that I should upgrade! So I went over to the store, with an inkling that I might want to get the iPhone 6 or the LG G4. I didn't care at this point, which was cheaper or more expensive. As I enter the store, I am told that I HAVE TO return my phone and will have to pay $136 in addition in order to upgrade. I am NOT given a choice to retain my phone or trade it in for a new phone. NOT.
So I pay $136 and decide to upgrade to iPhone 6 because they don't have the LG G4 in the color or kind that I wanted. That's fine. I try to get the best deal for myself, including memory and data plan. I'm absolutely fine paying more for more memory. This should help you understand that I still don't care about the money aspect in all this. Here's where the BS starts, the customer service agent, Dan then tells me I will get $60 credit for my phone (LG G2) if I get the iPhone, and $150 if I get the LG G4. So I fret and take the $60 for the iPhone. He then throws a bomb and says I HAVE TO BUY AN ACCESSORY FROM THE STORE in order to retain the $60. So I buy what is the "cheapest" available accessory from the store, or SO HE SAYS. A screen guard. Which by the way, broke the very next day!
He then says I have to pay $40 for the screen guard and the remainder $20 will be credited towards my next phone bill. This is WHAT I LEFT THE STORE WITH AND still have to be with, BECAUSE they refused to exchange my phone for free, even though it was within the stipulated 14 day period. They said it would charge me another $35 plus any charges on the new invoice!!!

I was told in the store that when ain't changed my phone, I would stay on my same data plan. Found out it wasn't true. They actually changed my plan TWICE once I left. Spoke w/ several managers one of which had a very bad attitude and listened to nothing I said. I understand that they no longer have unlimited data plans (although you shouldn't tell a customer that you still offer it, and put notes in my account saying that you told me I would have unlimited) but at least go over the other options I can choose from instead of just giving me an attitude and doing nothing to help me.

ATT quotes a decent deal to switch you from other providers or switch you to U-verse. When the first bill arrives incorrect & you call the customer service they will tell you that you will see the correct price with credits from your overpayment. Second bill comes in incorrect again, called ATT & now the story change to the bill is correct & I'm under contract. Stay away from this company or get them to email you the promised price.
