    AT&T Uverse never works, we get charged extra data on our phones each month when our wireless "conveniently" goes out. We call multiple time and never speak to the same person twice, each telling us not to worry, we will be given extra data. Phone bill arrives & we're charged $240 for overages! We call AT&T again, and of course they have no record of it. They are rude, incompetent, price gougers! Stay away from this scam.

    Got a email stating it was time for upgrade and straight from surgery my mom takes me to mall because my phone is broke. First off, she only pays for three lines and all these other companies has 4 or more lines for 100 or less. Or they offering free phones just to sign up with them and a cheaper monthly bill. Since leaving store yesterday with no logical resolution, we are truly considering other, wiser, money saving, options. We've been dedicated to y'all for too long to just tossed to the side like that and offered a low grade phone and 25 dollars more month for WHATS?? It's ridiculous and I will no longer recommend anyone else to y'all.

    May 19, 2015 I called and canceled the DSL. Dish was installed May 20. I was charged in June, July and Aug. I called every month and was switched to a lot of people. Finally got it off the bill in Sept, but now they say I owe $37.00 for the credit I got for the internet not being canceled. This is not the first time I have had them give me a credit and then have it show up on the next bill. I will not pay this and they will send me a letter saying they will cut off my service just like they did last time. I wish Bell was back, never got a foreign person or country when you called them!

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

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

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

    I contacted AT&T approximately 30 days ago regarding a HTC cell phone sim card clip that broke off. The phone was functioning fine besides the sim card not staying in place due to the broke clip. The phone was under warranty and AT&T rep said that I should use the warranty even though I pay insurance on the monthly bill. Well the phone was sent back to me with a letter stating I'll be charged $199 for a used phone because they claim it has liquid damage. The cell phone on my contract is only worth $108 and will be less, once the monthly payment is paid for this month. It's a scam to pay monthly insurance fee if it's not worth anything. I wouldn't have been better off with losing the phone instead of dealing with the warranty. A totally rip off.

    I called up AT&T to pay my bill and explained that I was interested in changing over to the new plan where they offer DirecTV and my cell phone service in one bundle for 200.00. The woman who spoke poor English, heavy accent said "do you have AT&T" and I said "yes I do, I have had it for 15 years". I said "I also have DirecTV", she asked if I had Uverse and I said no. She asked for all my info including SS#. I asked why, she needed to run a credit report when I have been with AT&T cellular for over 15 years. She said it was internal and it would not affect my credit rating. She ran it and said "oh good you qualify". She then said "what address is the DirecTV going to?"

    Next... "I can't give you that plan, you're already a customer". HELLO, the first thing I told her was I was already a customer. I asked for her supervisor who then got on the line and said "I heard the whole conversation and you said you were NOT an AT&T customer". I replied with "you and her are lying, I have no idea why", this is crazy!!! He hung up on me. Way to go AT&T, nice way to treat a long-term customer that you have made thousands of $$$ off me and my company.

    In May 2015 my checking account was breached so I closed it and opened a new account. I called all my creditors including AT&T to update my checking account with the new account. When I spoke with the AT&T rep he told me he had deleted the old account and entered the new account for me. Fast Forward to September. At the beginning of September I made my payment. It did not use my new account (after using it for several month).... it reverted to my old account and as a result, AT&T charged me a $30.00 NSF fee on my bill. I called and told them what happened and the rep said "I'm so sorry to hear that but there is nothing I can do to help you". She went on to say that their mistake was my fault (you read that correctly).

    I went up the ladder 2 levels and nobody was willing to remove the $30.00 NSF fee. I asked "Are you willing to lose a customer of over 4 years who has paid over $250 a month all that time over a $30 mistake on your part that you are unwilling to fix?" Each one of them told me "it's not our problem... it was your mistake". My only mistake apparently was to choose to do business with a criminal organization like AT&T that is too big to really care about their customers.

    Submitted this from 2015 still haven't heard back from them on this, no point to keep this case open as I've already left and gone to another carrier who gave me their box for the house.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2015

    AT&T is the worst company available for wireless services. They DO NOT stand by their word. I ported in earlier today, was told by the rep Alfonso ** (in the Port department) that I would get a free microcell box that all I had to do was call tech support and they would take care of me since he couldn't order the box in his department. After my numbers were ported I contacted tech support and went up to some managers. However none seems to have the authority to waive the microcell charge. Apparently they would rather lose a customer who pays over $1200 a year for a $200 box. Completely unacceptable, will notify my company to cancel all ties with AT&T! Terrible company who does not stand by their word.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    So I called to drop their service because we were moving. The house we were moving to rent already had Comcast and the landlord asked us to use them. I called to drop their service and returned the modem. They assured me the service was canceled only to find a letter in the mail for a late payment and another month's bill. I called immediately asking what happened and they told me only my auto pay was cancelled nothing else! The charge was $137.00 and asked for $90.00 and the service would be cancelled, I agreed to that and paid it.

    They then had me on the phone for over half an hour bugging me why I was dropping their service and telling me that Comcast might not be a good idea even though I'm paying half as much and getting three times the internet speed. A month later I get another bill for $25.00 even though they told me everything was paid up. They didn't even state in the letter why I was charged that amount. I will never use their internet service again!!! Their customer service seems to not know what they're doing!

    Professional scammers. I was their customer 1 year and it cost me a credit history. I tried to turn off their service. Person of the customer service told me, "Yes, we have disconnected you from the service" - but they kept sending me bills for 3 months. I regularly called them and argued. They said "yes" it's a mistake. I asked them for any documents confirming that they no longer have no claims to me. But after three months, collection service send me a letter from them.

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

    The order number one sees which is the same one on your printed receipt contains some new goodies, the reps you will speak with refer to it as "system generated" which is simply the AT&T method for avoiding any honest discourse on how and why they could treat a new customer so shabbily. We are now paying full price for a plan we never would have bought in a hundred years w/ 21 months to go with these dogs. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy getting ripped off!

They refused to do anything but all in all the other provider was willing to pay all contract costs which as over $1300.

    My experience with AT&T was awful. First, I bought a Samsung phone and a Samsung tablet from this store with AT&T service for both. The battery life on the tablet turned out to be far below what Samsung claims to the point that I could only use it for less than 30 minutes on a full charge before it needed to be recharged. I took the tablet to this store and they told me, sorry, THAT I COULD NOT GET A RETURN OR REPLACEMENT for the tablet that I *bought from AT&T* at the AT&T store. They told me to contact Samsung. I contacted Samsung and they put me through much frustration without solving the problem. So I'm left with a defective Samsung tablet that AT&T won't accept back even though they sold it to me!

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

    I tried upgrading my wife and I's phone on Thursday, September 10, 2015 online. After completing the process I get a confirmation e-mail. About fifteen minutes later I get another email stating that my order had been cancelled and that I should visit an AT&T store for them to solve the problem. So, I went to the AT&T store and they couldn't help me because they couldn't give me the same price that was advertised online for the iPhone 6. They also had a ten year old address on file which they changed and told me I should have no problem now upgrading online. So I called AT&T customer service and they also couldn't help me because they couldn't give me the plan I wanted over the phone. So I waited a couple of days and contacted AT&T over the phone again.

    This time they were magically able to upgrade my phone only over the phone to the exact phone and plan I wanted to purchase. As for my wife phone it never got officially canceled out of their system so we would have to wait 2-3 days until if processed through. So I called again to be told another BS story and that they now had magically uncancelled my wife's order and I would receive an email within 24 hours. 24 hours later and I hadn't heard anything from AT&T. I called again this evening to be told that the person I spoke with the last time hadn't ever uncancelled my order and that this operator was going to do it for me. So now I have to wait another 1-3 business days for an email that I'll probably never get. This is ridiculous. Trying to upgrade 2 phones for a week now and I'm only 50% there.

    I call to start services, gave permission to run a credit check. The representative said I was approved, no deposit required and my charges would be $92 not including taxes and fees. I received my first bill in the amount of $687.37. I called to speak with a representative would said my deposit is $449.00. There is no way I would have accepted their services if I was told up front of the deposit. AT&T knows this & this is why they omit this information. Yet they want to deduct $5 per month until the deposit is zero. They won't let you set up a payment plan to the deposit either. I believe this is some sort of monopoly.

    Never in my life have I had anyone to call my phone and be so disrespectful. I was traveling one day and decided to call AT&T to inquire about internet service. The rep was pushy and abrasive.

While ordering service with the second rep, the first rep called my phone back and left a voicemail. He identified himself and said that he was with AT&T. He then proceeded to go off the deep end because he felt as though I had hang up on him.

    My husband and I both have used AT&T go phone prepaid phones for almost a year now. The service in our area is an absolute joke. We lose service as soon as we leave town. What is the point of having a portable cell phone if it never has reception?! Furthermore, I used to LOVE the internet. I bought a Nokia, which is a crappy phone (my fault, obviously not AT&T's) but didn't get a new phone because I LOVED the super-fast 4g LTE data. Now, my "high speed" internet is completely non-existent. The 2gb of 4g just doesn't exist. I haven't had high-speed internet for SEVERAL months, and my phone is always renewed on time.

    In fact, this month, while renewing my monthly prepaid plan, I had NO internet. The call center took hours to fix the issue and I still frequently have little to no internet. Keep in mind these issues are after only using 1gb of my "high speed" internet. This service is a joke and a WASTE OF MONEY. My husband and I will not be wasting any more of our $ into this scam service. Goodbye AT&T and good riddance.

    On 09/23/2015, AT&T came through and credited our account for the full amount. It took about two weeks, many chat sessions and phone calls, but we finally got the right person who understood what occurred and reimbursed the account.

    Original Review: Sept. 14, 2015

    I am writing to you in hopes to reach a final resolution to my three month long attempts to reach someone with AT&T who will have the resources and authority to resolve a complex issue that keeps getting more and more escalated due to encountering extremely poorly informed and trained representatives on your part. This may be a bit lengthy, so I am making every attempt to make this as concise as possible and be respectful of your time.

    In June of 2015 our promotional price of roughly $65+tax (this price, however, varied month to month for unknown reasons) for U-verse and High-speed internet expired and went up 30%. As this is out of our budget we called your customer service and kindly requested the price be lowered for the sake of convenience and not having to transfer to your competitor who, at the time, was offering a deal of $45 for 12 months +HBO and $50 gift card an enticing offer indeed. The employee Chanee, was very professional and offered for us to keep the same price for another year namely $65+tax. We were thrilled as we had never before had issues with our services and actually wanted to stay loyal to AT&T. The following month, we received a bill that was over $80. We tried to reach out to you and clarify, but an hour-long online chat session ended up with more confusion and instructions to call your 800 number.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also, the phone was unstable. I contacted technical support 4 times over the course of 3 hours. It was the worst customer service experience I have had in years. After the third time, I spoke with a supervisor and she could care less about how long I had been a customer and that the problem was created by the firmware update.

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

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

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

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.

    I canceled service in the middle of the billing cycle, but nobody owes anybody! Absurd! I believe it's unfair practices.

I agreed to "try" the services for a month but I did not want any of my other services turned off.

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).

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.

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.

I'm a truck driver and I listen to online programs daily and I purchase a gigabyte a day. Sometimes it will last a day. Sometimes a few hours.

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    The URL www.att.com/mygophone is totally useless. If you need to get a refill, forget linking here. When, I submit a payment online there is usually an error that occurs referring me to a phone specialist. If I needed to touch bases with a phone rep why the heck is there an online option? I mean, there are only 2 options of selection. Your wireless # & SSN 4 digits. How they bugged this simple function is mind boggling. It just does not make logical sense to give the client the run around in regards to receiving payment. A simple PIN VERIFICATION would resolve any issues with payment posting. Geez, If you can't figure out the basics, just ask for help from another wireless vendor. Ask them how they manage to make online PAYMENTS FLAWLESS where the clientele is not frustrated to the point of dropping service. You would think net payment would be 1st priority for a carrier ranking amongst the Great Four.

    Schedule technical appt. Operator said tech will be out between 8:00am-noon. A different operator said 8:30-12:30, and the automated call said 8-noon. The tech called and is 45 minutes away and will not arrive until after noon. Wasted over half a days wages for a service that requires payment. Four hour windows are ridiculous! When you make the appt you have already described the problem & the phone jockey on the other line has done remote diagnostic testing. Given this information, AT&T should be able to adequately schedule the proper amount of time needed for service.

    Always overcharged the customers. They will tell you on the phone how much is your bill. Once we receive the bill, that is the other brand new story. Every month we have to spend more than an hour to deal with billing issues. They put you on hold for more than an hour as well. They do not care. Their customer rep. have no clues what they are doing whatsoever. They will change your plans without your knowledge... So sick of AT&T. Don't use their services. Switch to something else...

    Inconsistency is what best defines AT&T. On their UVerse set, you can expect outages during all hours for your TV and internet (including, some times especially prime time), and when they come back the internet speeds are half of what is advertised. My current situation has this provided for free but it's causing more stress than anything else. Customer service is useless. I've called in to ask for a technician, or even just to check and see if there is maintenance going on in my area that might explain a three hour outage. All I get in response is offers for lower monthly rates for three months and a lack of answers on anything else. I have yet to find out how to schedule a technician appointment. (The number listed directs me to retention.)

Whenever I reach 5GB or get close to it every month they text me that they will slow throttle my unlimited data plan that I have been paying for without any disruptions for past 6 years! When AT&T needs to honor their commitments to all customers and not make changes without both parties signing and agreeing to it. AT&T is using deceptive advertising and business behavior.

    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. We'll see. Until then, I'm done forking over my money to pay for a bunch of ignoramuses with no common sense let alone any disregard to their mistakes.

    There haven't been many times in my life where I have needed my phone desperately. I have made very few emergency calls or anything of the sort, however; the one time I NEEDED my phone to call someone AT&T failed me. Although the phone said two bars of service, every time I would try to make a call it would switch to "No Service" and drop my calls. Not only that but no one can call me without being sent directly to voicemail. Words cannot explain how angry and frustrated this company has made me. To anyone thinking of signing up with this AT&T I would say shoot yourself in the foot. It would have about the same effect.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Why make an appointment with AT&T when they arrive whenever they want? If I make an appointment between 1pm-4pm, it does not mean 4:30pm! Apparently jobs are handed down to the workers one by one and apparently the worker only heard TODAY, he had to be at my home between 1-4pm to do a job. Really!?! What type of a company or business do AT&T run?? People can't sit at home waiting for technicians to arrive when they feel like it OR whenever they "receive" the job placement. I'm really disgusted with AT&T. Consistent problems and customer service is terrible in Miami!! Let's see if AT&T can actually manage to arrive tomorrow between 1-4pm.

    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!

    I switched from sprint to AT&T back in June and I was told by the representative ** that he was going to buy back my phone and I was going to get a $200 credit on my second billing cycle. Well my second billing cycle came up and lo and behold aT&T has no record of me turning in my phone. The representative ** no longer works there so talking to the manager was like beating a dead horse. So now aT&T does not want to own up to their employee stealing a phone from me and will do nothing about it. This is poor customer service and I don't recommend anybody to go to AT&T store located at 6997 US Highway Pinellas Park Florida 33782.

    They think telling me they're sorry will fix the problem. It will not fix the problem. Your employee stole from me and you guys need to correct the problem. The only good thing that came out of the situation is that AT&T customer service line is awesome, but I cannot say that about the people that you have to go in the store and deal with. I will be canceling my service with AT&T because this has put a very bad taste in my mouth.

    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.

    I have been an AT&T customer since 2004. During the past 2-3 years I have been paying from $320-400 monthly. My family plan have 5 lines and 2 of them have unlimited data plan that was grandfather to me. 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. AT&T don't have any appreciation for a long time & loyal customer who never miss a payment for 10 years. The worst part they charging me $935 termination fee that is due right away, no payment arrangement allowed. I am planning to leave them and never come back. I am also going to encourage as many as I can to leave this company. Shame on you AT&T. I live in Long Island NY and service is average, many drop calls... Nothing special about AT&T.

    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!

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.

    I recently signed up for AT&T's new family plan after shifting from Verizon. When switching, I was supposed to get 2 new phones for changing over from Verizon and pay a total of $146 per month for my total family plan services. I received my first bill today, and it is for $297!!! Thinking it was a mistake, my wife went into the store we negotiated the original plan with, with our signed receipts from our last trip, and was told that the bill we received was correct and we needed to pay this amount. This is worse than the oldest used car salesman tactics. Crooks!!

    I cannot even begin to recite the years and years of poor customer and technical service, incorrect billing and overall abusive and deceitful practices from 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?

    My healthy father residing in Patterson Calif. was involved in what should have been a minor accident. My phone could not handle the volume of calls since we had AT&T phones and I was frantic to keep up on my father's suddenly worse Ieg. I went to the closest store West 11th in Eugene OR. They sold me a phone they said would work fine and not freeze up because of call volume. I told them I was computer illiterate. They said I would be fine with that phone and also sold me an ear bug and gave me a tablet they said came free with the phone. There were nothing but problems from the start.

    I could not operate the phone. Father was getting worse. I called repeatedly for help and to return the phone. I was told to "just keep trying for 30 days and bring it back I was still unhappy." I continued to have nothing but problems. When I called to say I was returning the equipment because I couldn't use it to call. Half the time I couldn't even answer a call. They said it was over the 14 day return period, and they wouldn't take it back. I made lot of calls to AT&T and kept getting the basically you're screwed and can do nothing about it.

    This happened over a month and a half time frame. During this time my father died while I was in Calif. with him on father's day. After I got home I called again same story then we had to arrange the funeral and have him brought to Ore. to be put beside by my mom.

    In 3rd billing cycle with AT&T. Bill running 2 and 3 times what it is supposed to be. Always due to "some reason". Have to call and complain every month. Despicable billing practices, with extra charges due to fine print issues. First month, upgraded data plan. Expected bill to increase by the amount of new plan, about $25. Bill was $600. They told me because I changed plans mid-month. They finally cut half of it off but the bill was still about $100 more. However, bills are so convoluted a person cannot zero in on the exact problem.

    Wife went overseas. We selected her data roaming off. Right after she arrived overseas I got an alert that there is more than $100 of roaming charges. I called my wife. She double checked that roaming was OFF. Called customer service and just got the charges basically shoved down my throat like it or not. The most horrible phone experience in my life.

    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.

    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!!!

    They want to collect $649 for returned items claiming item (iPhone 6) was damaged and ACTIVE. They claim they returned the item to me because it is broken. I returned 2 items (iPhone 6 and Tablet Base) that were incorrectly shipped to me on April 13, 2015 on May 19, 2015 in "brand new" condition in its original boxes and shipping boxes in perfect condition... not a scratch on the phone and Tablet Base. I used the iPhone 6 temporarily because they shipped me the wrong item. They finally shipped me the correct order, I activated the new phone and returned the iPhone 6 along with the tablet base. They logged it as received at their RMA Drop Ship address on 06/11/2015. I received an email from them confirming receipt.

    I never received the item nor notification of rejection until today. It's now July 16, 2015 and they want to collect the charges! I spent 1 hour on the phone with Stephanie and all I got at the end of our conversation was that the best she can do was to have someone call me back after they review what happened to the item. And, guess which department is going to review… "SHIPPING AND RECEIVING"! The same department that screwed up from the very beginning! I am a loyal customer for 10 years plus and all I want is to be treated fairly and respect my time. I want AT&T to credit this charge from my account. Plain and simple, someone once again screwed up when they received the returned items. Please AT&T, do a better job for your customers!

    I was made aware of my early termination fee and paid it in full along with the final bill and despite this, was denied access to unlock my phone six different times through their website. I even had one of their customer service agents "file an issue" on my behalf who promised resolution within 24 hours. That was 3 days ago. I have been without cell service now for 5 days and was told today that it could take an additional two days for the unlock request to go through! AT&T stands for Annoying, Tedious & Time consuming and does not deserve a single customer it has. Don't give them your business, you will regret it.

    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.

    When we signed up with AT&T we were told we needed a deposit of 449.00 in order to get service. We paid it. We've had service now for months. Due to amount we were spending we shopped around for better offers. Found better deal - called to cancel. Asked AT&T to apply our deposit towards Bill. I was told it wasn't a deposit - it was a 1 time non-refundable fee. Now I'm out service and disgusted they would even do this.

    I paid bill out of checking account, same one for several months but when I paid bill in May using that acct, AT&T tried drafting incorrect account so check obviously returned and they charged me $25 for their mistake then wiped out all checking accounts so none of the users could no longer pay with checking account (I had 6 lines). One of the users had a promise to pay set up out her bank account but since they wiped that out (without our knowledge) they sent a suspension notice so called cust service - they said it was a mistake, had nothing to worry about.

    Well next day phones were disconnected so called again and that user paid with credit card and cust service rep promised that we would not be charged reinstatement fee but of course extra $56 was added to bill so called about that. AT&T refused to remove those bogus charges. After many phone calls and many hours on the phone with them. I cancelled all lines and took my business elsewhere. I still need the extra charges removed to get bill paid and never again use AT&T.

    My son attends college in Texas and I live in PA. His phone failed, so I went to the ATT Store in Springfield, PA to use my upgrade to get him a new phone. Despite going to 2 AT&T stores and selecting transfer my upgrade on the website, my son was charged over $500 for his new phone. And, the online order was cancelled by the Texas AT&T store. When I visited the AT&T store 4 months later, I was told that he should have received the upgrade. Calling 611 with a 45 min conversation lead to no resolution. Ineptitude by AT&T employees cost me hundreds.

    I paid half of my bill and they told me my service will not be restore till I pay full amount and I need it for medical reason. They told me it was not their problem. Like, what is the reason of having service with them, they're very expensive and their services are the worse.

    Made a payment online and they took it out twice. Lowered my data and received a new price. Suddenly my bill went up another $30. When I called they conveniently said the original quote was wrong. Changed my billing information online and they took a payment out of the old account causing me to overdraw and get hit with a charge. The bank credited it back and AT&T took it out again even though I changed the information again. I was hit with a second charge. I got nowhere with AT&T. They were rude, blamed me and was told it would happen a third time. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with!!!

    AT&T decided to charge me twice in the same month for the same one single phone. Yep, they automatically charged me $25 for my auto-renewal plan, then, without telling me, charged me another $30 for a new plan that I never knew about, nor had any knowledge of. These inexpensive plans are for their Go-Phone. I only found out when I called to ask what was going on. I got the supreme run-around from 5 different agents & only when I started angrily yelling at them, did one of them finally confess to what happened. He promised I would get a refund.

    Not only did they lie & never refund the money that they stole from me, but they also told me they were keeping the positive balance I had prepaid to keep service going from month to month, when I called them back to tell them I am canceling their service for stealing my money, keeping it, & lying to me. BTW - They play this game where they (customer service) connects you over to a "payment supervisor" for refunds, and then the payment supervisors tell you that they don't have access to see your account transactions so they cannot help you & suggest that you call customer service or let them transfer you. Talk about a bunch of ** giving you the ** run-around just to keep your money, the money that they steal from you. Wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not at all.
