I was going on vacation out of the country and was sold an international day pass for $10 a day which would only be charged such if I actually used my cell service while away in Mexico but I was specifically told that if I used WiFi I would not be charged. Thus I paid for wifi service while I was there and turned off all international roaming on my phone and only used wifi. When I returned I was surprised to see AT&T charged me the $10 per day for each day I was away.
When I called and spoke to customer service after a lot of arguing they first agreed to give me a $25 credit and when I said that was not satisfactory and that I wanted the full $50 that I was charged she put me on hold and came back and agreed to give me the $50 credit. She then asked me to hold and after about 10 minutes she reneged on the offer and started to argue with me again. Her supervisor Ambermoque ** got on the phone and confirmed that she determined to renege on the agreement, as she said she had the right to do so. I told them this is completely unprofessional and inappropriate as we had an agreement and I was lied to. Awaiting now for the supervisor's supervisor to call me back.

I am a customer of AT&T for almost 10 years now and just 3 weeks ago, I went to AT&T store to change/update my plan and get a new iPhone 7 Plus and an upgrade. I also wanted to add a prepaid plan using my old phone, not under AT&T contract, and they offered it to me for just additional 20 dollars to be added on my current plan (unlimited talk/text and 3 GB data plan every month). On top of this they also offered me to get a free iPad Mini for just 10 dollars a month for 24 months which I ended up getting.
Almost 2 weeks after my data plan were cut off so I have to call Customer Service and to my surprise I will be paying like almost 200 dollars every month because what the store did when they change my plan is they made my new iPhone, the prepaid SIM and iPad Mini all a separate account as opposed to be a bundle plan. I have this corrected when I called initially the customer representative.
Then my bill comes for the 1st month and it still shows that I am overcharged. I am overcharged for what AT&T did messing up my plan. I called again to report about the overcharge -- nothing happened. I tried to have the supervisor called me but I missed the call and there's no right callback or extension number for me to call the supervisor. I am a very loyal customer of AT&T for 10 years and for them to do this to me or any customer is SO WRONG. I FEEL LIKE THEY NEVER VALUE AND CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER, at least that's what I felt with this transaction.

This company will lie to your face and hide the fine print to scam as much money from you as possible. The service is really not that much different from Sprint or T-Mobile and they charge more than double. They did not honor my BOGO deal and the ETF credit took 3 months to be given. I had to pay out of pocket for my ETF from my former provider and AT&T's high prices. I was out almost $2,000 just to change to AT&T and even then they didn't cover all of my ETF. My family and I have been with AT&T for years, decades even, but I will officially sever all ties with this dishonest company. I will also make sure to discourage as many potential customers as possible.

If you read this before signing up with AT&T don't please as you will regret it eventually. I was a customer for about 2-3 years and loyal. Eventually the bills got too high and I changed to Sprint with the buy out promotion. AT&T transferred my last bill to a collection agency without notifying me. After reading reviews I decided not to contact them and instead pay out of good faith. Please do not make my mistake and sign on with AT&T.

I got a new contract with AT&T and was told that I get a free tablet and that was it. Later I find out the free tablet is actually costing monthly payment for two years!!! The salesperson never mentioned anything about the mandatory 2 years service charge for the tablet. So I ended up with a tablet that I never use and have to pay for!! I say be extra careful with what they offer you as free since you are going to be paying for something that you never wanted at the first place.

I was on Prepaid for $45 and then switched to postpay, my first bill was $130. The bill had $60 of FEES which were not disclosed. There is no Duty of Care from them and Fees are charged without advice. I asked for my signed agreement but that too was not provided. I have searched my email for a copy but it was not sent either.

On Dec 30th 2016, when I called to change my cable TV to DirecTV, the rep talked me into signing up for AT&T Cell Phone. At that time my family had 5 lines with T-Mobile with 6GB for each line with total payments of $166 including tax and all fees. The rep said that AT&T won't charge for any overages and recommended that I sign up with any data plan. I told her that I listen to YouTube while I commute to work and back and I watch videos on my phone often. She promised all that will work without any buffering and no overage charges at all and offered 5 lines for $140 + taxes/month. Against my better judgement, I signed up. Big mistake. DO NOT TRUST THESE REPS WHO CALLS YOU OR YOU TALK TO. After total of 3GB for all 5 lines, I was unable to listen to YouTube or stream any videos. Data speed decreased after 3GB so no video will work at all. BAD SERVICE.
I called many times to AT&T and told them to listen to my initial conversation of what the rep promised. They have all conversation recorded for 'Quality purposes.' I requested to escalated the complaint and they promised again that they will call me after they review the recordings but to this day, NOTHING. Each time I call, AT&T's response is that I should increase my data plan with paying more money. My first month bill was much higher than what they promised. AT&T rep also promised that $21.67/month will appear on the bill for 3 months and each of those charges in will credited on same month. After 3 months, I will own iPhone 7 completely free and clear. This is not what happened.
I found out the charges will appear for 30 months and will be credited each month. Therefore, as long as I stay with AT&T for 30 months, iPhone 7 will be free. If I leave AT&T before that 30 months, I will owe the balance. Everything what AT&T represented to me were wrong. Such a BAD service so BE AWARE. To T-Mobile Customers, stick with them. I wish I had. Now they have best customer service rating and equal speed rating to Verizon in cities.

As an AT&T customer of approximately 5 years, I purchased an iPhone 6 at a store location. It was never told to me that my phone was "locked". When I tried to go to another carrier discovered phone is locked. Phone was paid off all installments on 2/9 '17. My phone is still not unlocked. Poor customer service in Murrieta CA & by phone to resolve issue.

From the onset of acquiring AT&T as an internet and cable TV provider each phone call to set up the service and subsequent phone calls to report difficulty resulted in hour plus calls. There were 4 different technicians sent out to my condo with a different reason why my service was not working each time. It required rewiring on two occasions with no improvement in service. For the last week I had the service I was unable to connect at all and told to reboot which did not work.
After 8 months of unsatisfactory results I called to cancel the service and was told there would be no further charges with an apology. I am sitting on hold... again... for the past hour to resolve a bill that they state I owe for the 8 days my service was connected on my last billing cycle despite the fact that the service did not work. Additionally the bill was even increased. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone and have decided that despite all the difficulty I have had with Comcast in the past it does not compare to the poor service and misrepresentation from AT&T.

Every single time I have needed customer service I was disappointed, appalled, and outraged. Contract is up in August and there is no doubt in my mind that I'm leaving AT&T forever. I just got hung up from the customer service representative that lied to me when I asked him if he is in the United States. He was obviously in the Philippines and I know because I have worked at a call center for years, know exactly what they sound like. I could not understand anything he was saying so he hung up on me.
When we first got service with them, one of the phone's charger did not work. I went back to the store and was told that I have to buy a new charger. Are you kidding me? Spoke with manager when service was not working in my mother's neighborhood and could not get anything resolved. I was told that there's nothing wrong with the cell tower and there's nothing they can do. She couldn't receive or make calls for 3 days. I can't believe anyone actually stays with this company.

I called AT&T several times because my bill was too high. I was getting overcharged. The bill was never what it should be. Every time we spoke to them they said it would go down but it never did. The last straw was when I got a bill for $500. I knew they were out of control so I ported my number out. Since then they have continued to add to the $500. Now it is over $1000. This is unacceptable. They couldn't figure out how to stop overcharging me but they had no problem Doubling it. I'm feel lost with these guys. Every time we called they assured us that it would reflect the correct price on the next bill but that never happened.

I recently purchased a plan with AT&T to get away from Sprint. Since we primarily do things online to avoid the pushy in-store salesmen, we were pleased to find that AT&T does indeed offer the option of setting up your phone plan and purchasing phones online. We purchased two new phones and placed them on the same 3G share plan.
All was well and good until we got our first bill which totaled nearly twice the quoted price. I went online to discover the cause of the change and found that AT&T had set up TWO 3G share plans - one for each phone. I thought at first this could be a mistake that I made in the setup so I checked my email for the confirmation email and found that I had not made a mistake. They quoted me a price for two lines under one share plan and then set up two share plans, each with their own line... thus, doubling the data cost which is why our bill was so high. I fixed this (after two long phone calls to reps who had no clue what had happened) and moved on thinking it must have been a one-time mishap. I was wrong.
Fast forward two months and we decided to add my brother and his fiancee to our plan. To do this we needed to increase our data limit from 3G to 10G and add two lines. Our bill should have exactly doubled and we checked and double-checked to be sure it was set up correctly this time. I checked the bill a couple days later to find that AT&T has done the same exact thing AGAIN. (Now I'm beginning to think this is more than just a coincidence.) Our bill was over $400 for 4 lines because they upped the data on our pre-existing plan (2 lines and an increase from 3G to 10G) then added a new, separate 10G plan with only my brother's line and another new, separate 10G plan with his fiancee's line.
So, I call AT&T again. This time, not pleased at all since we have done everything correctly on our end (even have the confirmation emails to prove that the original setup was correct) and still our bill has needlessly skyrocketed. The lady I spoke with was incredibly unhelpful and continually told me that she could only see the original plan with 3G and two lines on it. I repeated what I saw on my screen each time and explained that we should have ONE 10G plan with four lines. Then she proceeded to explain how a share plan works and that "you have to have a separate plan for each line." Um... no, that's not how it works at all - you have one plan and you share the data, hence the word "share" plan. Plus, when you are charging me $80 per plan and there are three of them, I cannot afford that and will not pay it since it's not what I ordered.
After a looong phone call and talking to a manager, they eventually were able to pull up what I saw in my account screen and were able to fix the problem. All this to say, if you set up an account online, BEWARE! They will try to mess with your plan so it double - or triple-charges you when your bill comes around. Check your bill thoroughly and be prepared for them to put up a fight when you call customer service to correct the issue. Keep the original emails that prove you set it up correctly in the first place as you might need them later on. I give it 2 stars because their coverage is so great. But our experience with plan setup has been a nightmare. Twice.

A week ago, I placed an order for Uverse for higher internet speeds. I was not informed that my phones would be on VOIP service. My basic rate would be around 60 bucks a month for 18mbs. They offered me a promotional deal of 45mbs for the same price. Yesterday, my phones started squealing and making a tinny sound... couldn't understand any commo. I talked to a repair tech in the Philippines, and went through the reset modem step. It fixed the noise issue, but incoming calls all get a busy signal. The tech scheduled a repair at my home for today between 1-4pm. Never showed.
Called repair and they said I had an install order for the 45mbs upgrade (doesn't require a dispatch) and they couldn't make two dispatches... 1 for repair... 1 for installation upgrade. I said that's nuts!!! Repairs are totally separate from installation orders. The rep says "the only way we can dispatch for a repair is to cancel the upgrade"??? She then said my 60 bucks a mos would go to 80 bucks a month for cancelling the promotion to 45mbs... Go figure. I demanded to speak with a supervisor. Who after checking remotely, the central office switch, saw that my service had been set to "do not disturb", and walked me through the steps to change it. Have no clue how that change was made. I didn't know it existed. Finally fixed without having to wait 2 weeks for someone to dispatch to my home.

AT&T cell reception has been very reliable. We bought a Lake house in Michigan, over 150 miles from home. We originally thought we wouldn't have enough bar strength (coverage) to be able to receive a call. I was wrong. We traveled all through Michigan and never lost a signal or lost a call. I went to Seattle to visit family and was nearly 6000 ft. at a Mt. Rainier observatory and never lost the signal. We have been an AT&T customer for 20 years and will continue. We are also customers of their internet.

After months of calling AT&T corporate (18 times to be exact), we received conflicting information and not once we did receive a phone call back about our situation. We had to go back into the original AT&T store, who said "there is no record of this trade. sorry." We then had to get the district manager involved to pull up security footage to show the phones were turned in.
To top it off, they told us we have to wait another 3 months before receiving our credits. Only time will tell if they will actually honor the promotion. We also mailed a complaint letter to AT&T corporate detailing dates, times, names of people we spoke to and we never received a response from them either. So much for AT&T telling us "thank you for being a loyal customer for over 10 years"... It clearly means nothing.

When I was preparing for my move, I had scheduled the transfer of my internet and home phone service w/ AT&T. I had received confirmation of an appointment where the installation technician would arrive for installation at the apt. that I moved to, on 2/15/17 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. On 2/15/17, I was at the apt. from 10:45 a.m. onward till 5 p.m. No one from AT&T showed up. I called AT&T and informed them. No one apologized. Around 1:45 p.m. on 2/15/17, Ron at AT&T informed me that a technician would come on that day, and that I would get a call from the technician prior to arrival. I had informed AT&T that I would be at home only till about 5:30 p.m. that day. No one called or came.
I called the AT&T corporate office and spoke to Bridgette, Lamont and Brenda at the AT&T Office of the President. All 3 of them did not help me. Lamont was very rude and claimed that nothing could be done about the matter. I asked to speak to his supervisor, but he claimed that he could not connect me to his supervisor. I asked to be connected to the CEO or COO of AT&T, or their administrative assistant. Lamont and Brenda claimed that they could not connect me to such people, and Brenda even claimed that she was the CEOs administrative assistant. Someone from AT&T called me and left a message with a call back no. The name was not clear in the message.
I called back at this no. a total of 6 times from 2/15/17, but each time it went straight to his voicemail. I left messages with my call back no. and name and stated that I was returning his call, but he has not called back and the matter still has not be resolved. I have been without home internet and home phone service since 2/15/17. I have prepaid mobile phone service with another company and have had to pay and use my mobile phone when I should not have had to. It has cost me per min. and per text used, including for my communication with AT&T about this matter.
After this I had chatted online with a representative at AT&T, who scheduled another appointment for 2/19/17 between 1 and 4 p.m. The technician who showed up worked on the equipment for about an hr. I had disconnected the equipment that I had by only unplugging the electrical cords from the outlets and unplugging the cable from the wall jack. This technician disconnected everything. I wanted the modem and backup battery kept near the jack that is close to the kitchen, and everything connected through this jack, as the technicians have done before. This technician claimed that this jack could not be used and cut some of the wires in it.
In the past, when a jack was not compatible with a cable, the AT&T technician had changed out the jack to one that was compatible. This technician did not do this and connected the modem to a jack in the living room, which is not where I want it. Even after this, he claimed that he could not establish service in the apt. He claimed that wires outside of the apt. complex had not been connected and that he could not do it. He did not take responsibility for getting the right people to do this, if this were true. It does not sound true because I know that the apt. complex is pre-wired for service with AT&T. He left. While he was going back and forth from the apt. to the outside, he left the front door open.
I asked him to close the door behind him when he left, for reasons including that the a.c. was on and I should not have had to climb up and down the stairs to close the door behind him. When I had asked him to close the door behind him, he had laughed mockingly! Even after this, he left the front door open behind him whenever he was going outside. Other AT&T technicians had never behaved like this.
No one has contacted me from AT&T to apologize and to connect the service at the new apt. I have been without home internet and home phone since 2/15/17. I contacted other companies after deciding to discontinue service with AT&T. However I have been informed that they cannot connect service at the complex, even though their service is available in the area. 1 of the stores that I shop at, which is next to the complex, has the company's service that I am interested in using. I spoke to a resident in the complex about this matter, and she has informed me that only AT&T can be used in the complex. I have had home internet and phone service for years. I have never been treated like this before!

After switching to Time Warner from AT&T, I was soon contacted (day of installation by TW) by AT&T's retention department and was offered a rate along with $300 in gift cards that made up for the dollar amount that I had switched for. I have since had to contact AT&T three times regarding my original service request because my bills did not reflect the charges which were agreed on. Furthermore, It was agreed upon and I was promised 3 Visa Gift cards ($300) which were supposed to have been issued 4-7 weeks into my service that I have not received.
I am now four months into my service. I have contacted them asking when I would receive the gift cards and was told they should be in the mail asap. One month has passed since that call. If I hadn't paid for $300 of my bill, I would have my credit DESTROYED!!! I am evidently being taken advantage of... Now, If it didn't take 45 minutes to an hour each time I have contacted them to resolve issues, I would just continue working things out perhaps. However, given that I have had to call them pretty much every other month regarding bad service, bad billing, and inaccuracies with my original agreement (spoken contract).
I feel this needs, MUST be escalated. How much more bending is required of me. I am a good, law abiding, taxpaying American. If this company (more so monopoly) is allowed to continue with this method of dealing with consumers, then who's to say others won't follow with this ill manner of conducting business? Or have we allowed this to be the norm? Is this now "common practice"? I am seeking legal advice, and will be open to discussions and also open to discussing a Class Action Lawsuit. A Plead for help to anybody and to our President: AT&T are BAD operators. President Trump, PLEASE whip them into shape or get them out!

Our phone plans go back as far as Cingular and we are not big complainers. But I have to say, today I MUST complain. But first I would like to say how pleased my husband and I were when we went into the ATT satellite shop at the mall and spoke to some rather friendly and helpful guys you have in there. Sincerely they went over and beyond helpful you should be proud. We originally went in for a new phone, but when I asked why did our bill fluctuate sometimes it was explained to me that was the service that we had. I can understand that, but after realizing that I was paying an awful lot for the service.
We then decided to contact the customer service line to see if we could get a better deal. We spoke to your "Loyalty Line" where the young lady explained a "better" deal at $255. Repeatedly we asked "what will our monthly bill be? And will it fluctuate?" She continued to assure us that it was as she said. $255. That's it. Almost 50 dollars under what we were paying. We of course agreed to the deal and got off the phone. We talked to the rep at the satellite shop and asked him what was he showing as our final bill, he did some calculating and told us it was not $255 like we were expecting to hear but instead $320 which is over the price we were paying originally.
We offer course call the "Loyalty Line" back to see what happened and we got a customer service rep Lydia on the line. When I explained to her what happened, Lydia's response was pushy and rude. She tells us (the customer who does not work there and know all of your billing tricks) "Well of course you will pay service fees and taxes." Lydia and I were disconnected from the call so I called back after speaking to my husband about what he wanted to do with the service, leave or stay with you. We agreed to stay if they were to fix the situation.
We called back and got another "Loyalty Line" expert. We requested for the service to be put back as it was prior to us calling. He did this with no hesitation but due to the uncertainty we requested that he hold on the phone until we verify that the change was done. His response was "I can hold for a little while". That was indeed the straw that broke the camels back. We have been with att at the start of the merge with Cingular and that day we were in the store for hours trying to correct the wrong of your "Loyalty Line" and to hear him say that he would give us a little while definitely sealed it.
We spoke to the manager to verify that the account was properly put back and we left out of the satellite shop and crossed the hall only 20 feet away to T-Mobile and got a way better deal with 6 lines for only $180 monthly, no surprises on the bill, everything unlimited - EVERYTHING. No overages tax, fees, everything included. To top it off we get $150 visa for every line we transfer over. That's $450 for saying goodbye to a company that never thanked us for being with them for so long (Loyal), was tricked into a false plan, ridiculed for not know that we were tricked, and give a little while to check to see if we were tricked again.
I don't know if T-mobile is the best fit for us yet, but I will say it felt good to know we had other options. My husband and I have paid off the phones and plans that we owed on our account and are now waiting for the unlock codes from att so that we can finish the transfer. That was 3 days ago when we were told it would be 24 hours. Can you please have someone look into this for us please.
Once again I was forced to call your "Loyalty Line" to try to figure out what was going on with our unlock codes. Your "Loyalty Line" expert Ashley answered the call and all though my husband and I were very frustrated and it more than likely reflected in our tones, Ashley remained professional. It was only because we wanted to be sure that the service was going to be terminated by the 27th of this month but only after we received our unlock codes that we requested to speak to a manager.
When the manager (Michael ** he said his name was) got on the phone that was when the customer service that we are use to receiving from att emerged. Michael made it clear that as we were "ranting" he was not listening. He clearly blamed our negligence as to why we were not showing any unlock code request even though we continuously told him that we could read off the email where it gave us a confirmation for the request. It wasn't until the end of our conversation that he even gave us the opportunity to do so. Then told us it wasn't a confirmation because he did not see it in his system and it did not start with CM.
I must say, after speaking with Michael, I have no confidence that he took care of our case yesterday so we will be on the phone again today to verify that he did what he said he would do. He said he sent us an email showing the request but that didn't not happen. We should never feel like when we get off the phone with any customer care line let alone a "Loyalty Line" that our request will not be filled. But if you listen to that call that took place you will see why we are concerned.
If you offer customer service training at your facility, my advice would be to shut that department down and have your people train with a company customer care line such as Comcast. Never had a bad experience with them and have been with them equally as long. This is my second request for someone to look into this matter and please let us know where our unlock codes are.
At&t; have their money, why should they be allowed to send you to some diy website to get your unlock codes. If I wanted to add service or buy a product, I would have volunteered phone calls and reps in my face immediately. Why is it when you decide to leave them they won't allow any assistance other than dropping you into a Deadmans space to figure these codes and methods yourself.

AT&T was better when they were Cingular. After the change and being a customer of 13 years they charged us monthly for a phone that had a known issue of faulty speakers because the warranty had expired and then charged us a $50 deductible to tell us this. After which we were sent a refurbished phone for $150, that was the same model with the same issue. So $200 and 8 months of paid billing for services that cannot be used!

AT&T intentionally over bills and makes it impossible to get over billing and mistakes corrected unless you spend hours on the phone after you even get connected to someone WHO CAN help you!!! This is because EVEN ONE OVERBILLED DOLLAR per AT&T client per month that goes uncorrected gives A CORPORATION like this one literally millions of extra dollars EVERY MONTH!!! AT&T is not a company that makes us proud to be Americans. This company stomps on the little people until they crush the American Dream by victimizing the average American who is defenseless against this huge entity that goes unchecked in our Judicial System thanks to TORT REFORM.
Our Government not only doesn't make consumer protection from the Corporate Giant a priority, they don't provide consumer protection AT ALL.

I find AT&T's service almost adequate. There are areas that the service just drops off and you have no signal for no reason at all, this will be in an area where there are tons of homes so not in the middle of nowhere. I also feel that AT&T charging so much for unlimited data is price gouging but, I wouldn't switch carriers because AT&T works best with iPhones.

I was over billed and over billed. I submitted a dispute and nothing has been done. It took a year paperwork to change financial responsibility because there was a discount if I had both. I never got a discount as promised 1 1/2 years ago or more. Now they are telling me they don't have discounts just because I bundled. The billed ranged from $200.00 to $350.00 with no cause. When I need a new phone they said they had buy one iPhone 7 plus and get the second one free. Then they said I couldn't have it after arrangements were made, because again it took so long for their paperwork, so they said.

I have been with AT&T and DirecTV from the beginning. Your internet program doesn't serve us or I'd have that too and the land line. From the beginning Amanda ** took over the financial responsibility for a while but became unemployed. I had to take the account over because you purchased DirecTV. For some reason they completely changed our boxes and DirecTV took all of our old better box: One which was my own I had paid it in full back when you did that. It was the recorder one so I watch them when I got home if I missed my program and would change channels to the one I want to watch when it started. One did DirecTV took all my other boxes also that had that function. Then they promised me a $150.00 Kohl's charge which I NEVER RECEIVED. Since I was on such a tight budget they also offered $43.00 monthly bill so that we could watch the Walking Dead. It's probably the only reason I keep the DirecTV at this point.
I just want my son as miserable as he is to watch the one show he wants. I have put in a dispute, and talked to a dispute which I received the answer she was too busy doing something for the president. I have also spoke with a gentleman who promised the Kohl' gift card would be sent immediately. Nothing has happened. My bills have been outrageous in the past. I have lost thousands of dollars. DirecTV replaced my system and stole hundreds of boxes (receivers) which belong to me.

My husband and I have been on a family plan with AT&T Wireless for over 15 years. We got one of the cheapest data plan (200MB) for $30/month and $50 for just talk. Anyway, Sprint has a plan 6GB data with unlimited talk and text for a total of $60/month for 3 lines (50% off from AT&T plan). On December 24, 2106, I called AT&T to see if they have similar deal. They could not find anything cheaper what I ready have, so I told them that I will be switching over to Sprint. A couple days later, I happen to log in my account to update my credit card information, I noticed plan has changed. They decided to upgrade my data plan to $150/month (5 times my current plan) without my authorization.
I called AT&T right away to notice them that my plan has been change without my authorization. The representative told me that my plan was very old and that he need to get any approval to switch it back, and that it would take about a week. A week later, January 2nd, I switched to Sprint. Now, I got a final bill 5 times my previous monthly charge. I called them back again, and the representative stated that there are no record of my conversation with them.

There is not a single good thing about this company or their services. I had a single cell phone plan, overpriced and highly controlled data plan of 3 GB. Even though I barely did any music streaming it sucked so bad. Forget being able to use gps and listening to music at the same time. The data was controlled and gone in no time. I didn't even watch movies or videos. To get more data was so overpriced. I was told if I got internet and TV it would be better pricing and services. Especially if it's all combined into one. That's a lie I learned later. They suck you dry and don't care about you as a consumer and your needs. There's no heart for the people from this company.
Their internet service was quite horrible at every level. I ended up upgrading finally to get faster internet services... nothing changed ever. I've spent hrs and hrs of my time on the phone with customer service. Don't even get me started on that! There was no getting anywhere with anything. Talk to the wall, man, it'll be better and more helpful than trying to deal with them and getting any help. In order to get a decent price for any service they sell you on services you don't want or need, then they get you good by saying you "save" money by combining your services into one account. Big mistake. This company can just take everything they are and go straight to hell because that's what they are. Hell to deal with at every single angle you could possibly imagine. Your imagination can't even begin to describe this company and their horrible customer service and services.
This has been a horrible and stressful experience for me in the past 6-8 months, hours of time on the phone and in the store trying to get help on their mess-ups. Every month the bill was screwed up and I'd have to spend hrs on the phone getting to the right department to get it corrected which wouldn't show corrected until the next month's statement. They keep you in a state of confusion at all times. Even though they made my experience a nightmare to the point of feeling forced to discontinue services and break contracts for services I never wanted in the first place. The least they could have done is waive the early termination fees and call it good. You can forget about that. You will pay!
I recommend stay away from AT&T if you want peace in your life with less stress. I can't even give them a tiny bit of even one star. Not one teeny bit. They were nothing but a disastrous experience from start to finish. Save yourself the pain and grief. Stay away from them. This is my honest and true experience and opinion of them.

Mike the worker at the Geneva NY AT&T was the rudest, most inconsiderate employee I have ever dealt with in my life. He repeatedly tried to belittle my intelligence by spewing out incorrect information regarding my AT&T phone plan. [I know this is incorrect information because I called the insurance company after to work out the issue with my phone].
In addition, he made fun of me to another customer, who he helped after me. He then tried to tell me that I could not purchase an Iphone 5s, because they no longer were being sold, despite them having them on display in the store. He also tried to tell me that I could only purchase the Iphone 7, which conveniently had extra payments along with its purchase. My family and I will definitely be switching phone companies due to the lack of respect and professionalism in Mike.

Think twice before you choose this company. I recently deactivated my cellular services with them after being a customer for over 15 years (I was with them when they were Cingular Wireless) because of the horrible customer service I received. I set up a payment that was to automatically deduct $351.72 from my account on the 15th only to have my services disconnected on the 17th. They had the note in the system that account was set for payment on the 15th however, insisted that because there was an error and the payment had not been automatically deducted I was now to pay $714.24 to reinstate my service (the additional $351 was because now my bill was past due 3 days).
I spoke to two "Tier 2 Managers" and asked them to take the first initial payment out as we spoke and to set up an automatic deduction for the 1st in which they declined. Assuring them that they will have their money because they would be deducting the money from their own accounting system wasn't enough. I asked them if it would be worth losing a longtime customer that paid $350+ monthly (mind you this is a car payment) and their response was, "sorry we can't do anything for you". Makes me wonder what kind of financial troubles they might be in that a $714.24 bill would be worth losing a customer over. I urge you to think twice before doing business with them, their customer service and willingness to work with their customers is non existent.

Today my wife and I went to the Georgetown, Texas AT&T store. We have been a customer since the brick phone days and left once overpayments not credited correctly but Cingular took us in and we were happy. Now after we were bought and back we have used the "contract" method when it was time to upgrade to a better phone or service plan. Not once have we been told the truth about cost. I make it a point to ask "What will the total bill be monthly?" I can understand the taxes may be a problem to calculate but the bottom line? Not only no but hell, no.
About three times prior to this last session I personally was the recipient of multiple lies but they are not evident until the monthly statement arrived. I think that trip wound up costing me $700.00 more than anticipated. Two times prior about $1,500.00 and then the trip before this one, about $2,000.00 more than we were told. I realize this is chump change to a large business and AT&T could not care any less how it affects anyone. How they got to be in the number two spot is beyond my comprehension. Believe you me, if I had another choice, I would be gone. The statement provided me today shows an "upgrade fee" of $70.00. There was no upgrade, we got a new phone where none existed beforehand.
Then there is a charge for "prorating" at very near $20.00. In other words prorating is a fee for telling me what the monthly statements will be. What I was told initially was in the $270.00 per month, in total, range. My first and second monthly statement will be $320.00 for some unexplained reason that made any sense. Some mumbo-jumbo explanation said something about "credited to your account," yeah right! I have no way of knowing what to expect, I just hope I can pay it. So far already I will be out $240.00 or thereabout and this is just the first day. Would I recommend a friend? I would not wish this on an enemy.

When I would call to ask them why they charged me they would make up some ridiculous things and tell me. I believed them and kept paying that high amount.
Recently I switched to a go phone, thinking that it will be better and cheaper. Their service sucks. Mobile data is extremely slow. Most places I travel to has no signal. They switched off my service telling me they have some dispute with the charge back as my bank gave them a notice of fraud charges on my card. I called my bank to see what was going on. They said there have been no claims regarding AT&T. I called AT&T back and the lady Sofiana or something (charge back supervisor) told me that the dispute was not solved from their side and it has not been cleared so they will not start my service. They told me this after being on hold for 1 hour after calling them 6 times in a day. So, no matter how desperate you might be for a phone, find another phone company. Don't use AT&T. I am extremely dissatisfied with everything including customer service and network services.

Their customer service was great about 2-3 yrs ago but its obvious they outsource the service now, calls are tedious & no one ever knows what they are talking about, the answer is different everytime you call. I'm thinking of switching.

Their customer service and ability to resolve problems once is horrible. It takes 7-8 and several different agents most of whom has no clear understanding of the company's policy in order to resolve an issue...

I never complain about any companies on here but AT&T is the worst lying company I have ever dealt with. We added a line with our own phone to Jason's bill. They told us it would be 155 a month for both (alone Jasons was 115). A twenty dollar activation one time fee would be added to it... Then a woman calls us a day after we added the line and tells us we can bundle our internet, cell, and if we switch to DirecTV we will get a huge discount. The bill for all would like like 170! Explained it all, even called us back the next day!
So we get DirecTV a week later and call our internet. They don't and have never bundled with DirecTV!!! It's a lie AT&T uses all the time!!! So no discount there! Awesome! I called AT&T and talked to two separate people, one was supposed to call back- never did. The other offered to give us ten dollars a month off. Then we get our first cell phone bill $238- never got the ten off either... So I call AT&T knowing they will act oblivious. The woman was so rude, went down the list of fees (for some reason Jason's phone needs to be reactivated for $21, even though it was never shut down) and wouldn't let me speak. I explained we just wanted what was told to us and this is like the third lie we were told. She takes off $25... yea that fixes it. Never will work with them again.

Had to call AT&T Customer Service again due to intermittent connectivity issues. This is the second time this month. This time around the service center could not even help us with our issue due to an internal outage. About 2 weeks ago, customer service claimed that our issue was our modem. Several hours later we notice a crew outside our neighborhood, due to an outage. Over the last 2 years we have experienced outages that were intermittent, lasted a couple hours up to lasting over a week, when they sent a third party contractor to replace the termination point and the severed the connection.

We have been an AT&T customer for many years -- 30+? We have 3 home lines, fax line, 2 cell lines, 1 mobile wifi, U-verse Internet, and now DirecTV; clearly we pay a lot of money to AT&T monthly. Last Fall we were traveling on business and activated a passport program for our mobile lines -- or so we thought. When we received the bill, our out of country charges were over $900! What happened to the passport program.
After being tossed around to numerous customer service reps, we talked with "Jeremy" who fixed the problem. He credited the amount and we paid the revised amount. We thought all was fine... Not so. Instead the credit was never entered and we have been lost in the "customer-service" black hole. We have spent hours over the last few weeks trying to get it resolved. Numerous AT&T people have said they "will have it fixed tomorrow," yet nothing happens. That's not true, they suspended our mobile phone service today! We have had it with AT&T -- we plan to cancel EVERYTHING and move to Verizon or whomever.

I contacted AT&T after our move to inquire about the unlimited data plan and DirecTV bundling packages. We signed up for the bundle after being offered a promotion including a $300 visa gift card and a free tablet. We really weren't ready to make a decision but we were told several times that this was a one-day promotion that would be lost if we didn't sign up that day. This was early December. My 5-year-old has checked the mailbox daily since then eagerly awaiting the tablet we promised her. By mid-January neither had arrived so I "chatted" online with customer service. I was assured that both would be sent by January 25th. I have this in writing. When I called again today and spent over an hour being transferred around and "disconnected" I was told this promotion never existed. I am now stuck in a 2-year contract with no recourse. AT&T is unbelievable. They blatantly lied to us. I am so disappointed.

AT&T is forcing my mother to pay $1500 to change her plan and/or close her account. It is outrageous! I recently found out that my mother was behind on her phone/cable bills. She is paying AT&T $380 for Uverse Cable/Mobile phone and missed Dec payment while also been one month behind. Her last payment was at the end of November. First, who charges a 70 year old woman that amount of money for phone services these days? I immediately called and spoke with a Supervisor who was very friendly and agreed to assist in resolving the outstanding balance with a payment plan, change her plan to something affordable and restore services. The issue was she didn't know her security PIN. Unfortunately, 3 days later after going into a store to change the PIN, we called back to pay $500 down, change her plan to something reasonable, and set up the arrangement to pay off the balance.
This time, we got a very rude AT&T Supervisor. First he refused to acknowledge that we had previously spoken to another Supervisor and insisted that AT&T will not help in ANY WAY. She owes AT&T and must pay in FULL. My mother then asked since she has not been able to use her mobile phone for a few days if AT&T will still be charging her until she can come up with the full amount. The exact response from the AT&T supervisor was that she will still be billed if her services were suspended and if she takes more than a month to pay it off. His response was, "Ma'am, we will continue to charge you even if services are suspended. And if you don't pay $1500, we will terminate all services with you. If you don't want to owe us, I can terminate your services today!"
Now get this, I was on the call and prepared to pay AT&T $500 today and work with whatever he was willing to do. Including keeping the services off. But our main concern was 2-more months of $380 is RIDICULOUS! I am with T-Mobile and I have always been able to work out payment arrangements if I cannot come up with the entire month's payment. My mom is attached to her home phone and number. So this is really frustrating her that she will lose it if she doesn't pay AT&T $1500 in two weeks. And she will also owe AT&T for another $380 next month. This is very very wrong. AT&T does not benefit in ANY WAY forcing my mother to pay this amount of money. They will only lose her, my entire family and anyone that finds out in our family they are doing this to her.

I have been a AT&T customer for over 20 years, finally decided I had enough of their crappy undertrained personnel. When I decided to cancel the service they had issues with everything then from calling them to personally driving 45 minutes to a "main home store" to speak to them in person twice, plus two store managers, after talking to 8 different people. Three of which were in a management roles. Not two people had the same story. I can see why people have so many complaints from this company. Terrible, terrible.
My issue was getting my two phones unlocked with a paid in full, $30 EVEN PAID OVER. Account, bottom line they don't want me to take my phones with me to a better cell phone service, so if I sold them they would still be linked to this company. No way would I ever do anybody like that, I wouldn't recommend AT&T to anyone! Everything is all lovely while you pay your bill and don't call them with any questions or when you want to change or cancel service. It's always going to be in their favor. I've been waiting on them 8 days now for unlock codes with nothing done yet. They need to be reported to better trade commission!

It was just before Christmas when I went to the AT&T store on N Broadway in Hicksville. My daughter is going to a private high school in the fall and I was looking to get new phones and lower my costs by switching from Verizon to another carrier. I explained to the salesperson, **, that I had two iPhones (5Ss) and was sharing 4GB for $170 with Verizon and I was looking to lower my costs and exchange the phones for newer models. "No problem" he said. A short time later I get a bill for $329.
The costs for the phones were not what we had discussed, not even in the same ballpark. In addition the salesperson stated they had a promotion for becoming a new customer, and that I could purchase an iPad Mini 2 for $50 for each phone I purchased. The iPad Mini 2 is not the latest model, which is the iPad Mini 4, but it seemed like a good deal and would make a good Christmas present. I also got one for myself.
What the salesperson neglected to make clear is that each iPad required a cellular package, which I neither asked for or wanted, the idea was to reduce costs not increase. Also, if I was getting a device with a cellular connection I would have set it up in the store and made sure it was working before leaving, but the salesperson never offered or mentioned setting up a cellular connection on the iPads.
In addition, my Contacts and Calendar were lost during the initial setup of the phones by the salesperson. Both iPhones share the same Apple ID but there are two distinct named backups on iCloud. Of course my daughters came out perfectly but on my iPhone I got my apps, pics, music and background image but my daughters Contacts and Calendar. I was able to get my work Contacts and Calendar back a couple of days later at work but the salesperson somehow saved this setup to my iCloud backup so I had to recreate my personal Contacts and Calendar appointments from scratch. It created a tremendous amount of work and frustration.
The main thing, though is AT&T's coverage was horrible. I only got one or two bars in my own home, I was like the guy in the old Verizon commercials constantly saying can you hear now? The only place I saw a full 5 bars was in the AT&T store. I commute to work and would normally catch up on my emails on the train but I couldnt download them on the LIRR. In Jamaica I only got 2 bars.
AT&T sent me a video bill for my first bill which I could not view on their cellular network. I also had trouble setting up a MyAT&T account. I had to call to actually get my bill. Nothing worked and they were disinterested in helping. The poor quality of the service, the incompetence and I believe dishonesty I encountered in my original purchase in combination with the total lack of interest in assisting me I finally reached a point where I just wanted out. I returned the phones and iPads within the 14 day grace period, but I still had to pay restocking fees ($45 x4) for all the devices and additional costs. The iPads were returned sealed in the original packaging, having never been opened, used, activated, or breathed upon but still required the restocking fees. And thats just it, they know once they get you its costly to get out, I think that was my original salespersons MO.
However, my concerns about the incompetence and total lack of caring on the part of AT&T employees was confirmed when I kept receiving bills because the cellular plans for the iPhones were cancelled by the salesperson but the cellular plans for the iPads, which I never wanted in the first place, were not. Since then I have called up and spoken to several people at AT&T and the issue is still not resolved and its a month later. One of the AT&T customer support people I spoke to stated they would wipe out the bill and offered me a discounted DirecTV package to make up for all of the inconvenience and aggravation, but apparently that person didnt tell anyone else at AT&T.
Now it seems even though I returned the devices within the 14 day return window and have a receipt for the restocking fees, they have now entered the contract phase and AT&T wanted me to pay off the two year contract for both to get out of the plans. Obviously its their mistake, it just means many more hours, most on hold, speaking to AT&T customer support staff who could not care less.
On top of that I had to buy my daughter an iPad for Christmas. A very costly lesson learned, not just the amount of financial loss, but the hours lost, the tremendous inconvenience and the aggravation are also factors. So my advice to you is avoid AT&T at all costs, because IT WILL COST YOU, one way or the other.
And if you happen to be in the Hicksville area definitely avoid the store at 350 N Broadway, Jericho, NY 11753, and whatever you do, do not have anything to do with AT&T salesperson **, who from my experience and in my opinion is dishonest and incompetent. He deceived me on the costs, lost my Contacts and Schedule, saved his mistake overwriting my iCloud backup and failed to close out the iPad cellular accounts when I returned the equipment. Basically every part of my interaction with him was a failure, he didnt do a good job, he wasnt honest and upfront and he cost me a lot of money. And thats my AT&T experience. Good luck to you.

AT&T Wireless customers for 15+ years. Recently switched our unlimited data plan to a shared data plan to save money. While in-store, I was offered an ipad mini for $50 and was told it could access the shared data for $10 per month. After barely using the data I tried to cancel the service, only to be told I agreed to a 2 year contract of data service on the ipad. This was never discussed in-store and their sales rep knowingly hid this information to make the sale. I asked for them to void the contract so I could stop the data today and they refused. We were completely taken advantage of by this sales rep and AT&T did nothing to help the situation. Needless to say we will be switching providers ASAP. Be careful of what AT&T tries to sell you!

AT&T has the worst insurance and phone replacement program I've ever dealt with and as soon as I'm done paying my phone off I'm leaving. When I first purchased my phone I was given the option of adding insurance on for a certain monthly payment; I was either lied to about the deductibles or they changed the prices without notifying their customers, both bad. I was told that if I needed to replace my phone before six months had passed it would be $150, if it had been six months to a year it'd be $100, and if it had been a year it would be $50.
Recently my phone was dropped and it shattered, and when I called to get a replacement, after having had the phone for over two years, was told that it would be $225, with a discount that brought it down to $150. I'm very irritated that the prices were changed (or I was lied to by the sales associate on the floor) and I agreed to pay it, only because I can't afford to purchase a new phone immediately. I plan on receiving this new phone, making a large final payment to pay it off, then I'm going to cancel my plan and bring my new phone with me to a new service. I'm also VERY irritated that the replacement I was sent was a refurbished phone; I don't pay insurance to be given a phone that was already working incorrectly or broken.
I find the insurance program tedious and inconsiderate to their customers; you have to do it either online or over the phone (no in-store help), which is funny because I thought I was also paying for the convenience of not having to deal with the insurance people myself. It confuses me as to why I would pay through AT&T to have to handle all of the insurance myself, instead of just going to a separate company and insuring the phone for less. I use my phone for my work and need it, so I also find it irritating that I have to wait for a new phone to be mailed to me; if I'm a customer in good standing that has been paying insurance I believe I should be able to walk in store and leave with a new phone replacement instead of having to wait days for a functioning device.
When the device arrived, the final irritating (though minor) thing is that they place a sticker directly on the back of the phone that leaves residue (a LOT) when removed, so I had to spend my time scrubbing my (refurbished) "new" phone so that my finger didn't stick to it every time I picked it up. A tiny detail that just managed to push the entire experience into a frothing, rage inducing experience that makes me want to shoot myself in the head rather than be a continued customer of this company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I have a Galaxy S6 phone. In October 2016 my phone had a update that cause multiple problems including but not limited to a failure to take a charge. After hours on the phone with Customer Service they determined that it needed replaced and is under warranty. They replaced with a refurbished phone that was equally problematic. This went on for 3 phones. On the last phone, when I sent my phone in they billed me 506 for damages. (Yes, it could have been damaged in mail -- however was fine when it left me.) I do have insurance and had the phone been damaged I would have obviously used my insurance instead of opting for the inconvenience of the warranty.
Now I do need a phone. However I do not want to keep a refurbished phone of a problematic brand for $506 when I could purchase a new, better brand for slightly more. I asked that I return the refurbished phone they provided and just cut my losses and purchase a new phone, and they will not agree. I find this completely unacceptable. If they had sent a working phone the first 2 times, I wouldn't be having this problem. How can they force me to purchase a refurbished phone at a gouging price when I do not want it??? Terrible customer service, inappropriate charges, and failing to stand behind their products is a sad way to operate.

I enrolled in the promotional AT&T Next Plan to get my iPhone7 with the trade in of my iPhone 6s. The 6 worked great but with an increase of $5/month with a new phone, why not?! My phone was encased in a waterproof case all around - what could be the problem? Once I received my 7 I followed the instructions to return the 6. The worker at the AT&T store was wonderful. She provided tips and advice about what I would see on my bill and when to expect a bill adjustment. She checked my phone for water damage at that time and declared no signs of damage that they look for.
After 5 months of no bill adjustment, I called the company to find out about what happened with my iPhone 6. They could not tell me that they could find my 6. But they created a case log to follow. 2 weeks later, still nothing. I called back. I was then told that the case was entered incorrectly but now routed correctly and should be able to find the 6. He gave me a new deadline to work toward. The deadline came and went.
This week I received a message that the case has been resolved but could not find a message on my account so had to call the company again. Yet, another person to say they did know the outcome but to visit the site of where I purchased the phone to ask them/the district manager to track the phone. I was over it at that point but if this last move would reduce my phone bill $32/month I was in. I called the company and finally was able to talk with someone who could track my 6. He then declared that there was water damage in my phone therefore not eligible for the trade-in value. I do not recommend you get into this plan. At least anticipate "water damage" issues and plan to pay for the full cost of the phone. My 6 was just fine. I am pissed that I was dubbed into a new plan with more expenses unnecessarily. Never again. Signed, Very angry long time customer.

The facts are my daughter went on a Norwegian cruise in December leaving Port Canaveral, FL on 12/17/16 for six nights returning on 12/23/16 to Port Canaveral, FL. Prior to going on the cruise we visited our local Apple Store to inquire about settings so she would not incur roaming and data charges. She turned all the applicable settings suggested by Apple OFF ON HER PHONE, on 12/17/16 upon boarding the ship. Note: from 12/17/16 until 12/20/16 she had no data usages at all on her phone NONE! After four days on the cruise she utilized the already paid for wifi access included in her cruise package and on 12/20/16 sent me one text to let me know she was fine/safe and having a great time. After that one text her phone was charged for data on 12/22/16 at 9:49p for $35.87 and at 11:33p for $115.90. Then on 12/23/16 at 2:33a for $25.73 and at 4:25a for $0.50.
The question I ask is why when all of the setting was put back in place on 12/20/16 after sending that one text was she suddenly hit with data charges for 12/22/16 and 12/23/16? Prior to 12/20/16 AT&T had no knowledge she was on an international cruise, once they were aware she was hit with data charges. NO ONE in your company can explain why this happened? How can she be in port on 12/17/16 with all settings off on her phone and go until 12/20/16 with no charges? Certainly these data charges once she sent the text seem suspicious. And I believe once AT&T knew she was on international waters they chose to send messages and data to increase this phone bill and their bottom line. This seems like a shameful business practice and I still state I should not be charged for any of these charges.

So you can imagine how shocked we were when we started receiving $687 bills from Verizon, and then a letter from a collection agency stating we'd face some serious repercussions if the amount went unpaid. Imagine, then, how even MORE surprised we were when we received not one but TWO letters from AT&T stating that our rebate request was denied, because we "didn't include a picture of the final bill from Verizon".

I'm almost to the point where I'm ready to cancel all my AT&T services and also my DirecTV. During the holidays I went to AT&T to get 1 phone. I was told since I'm porting in my number the phone would be free. Awesome... So I get to the store and the agent Katie was helping me find the right phone. She was so nice. She had great customer service skills. I should have known something was wrong. I had already had 2 phones on my account so the manager Alexandra told her about the new buy one get one free offer but in order to qualify for the offer I would have to open up a new account. That was fine.
Katie started her sales pitch and before leaving the store I was told that my bill would be 170. That was sorta more than I wanted to spend but hey I got 2 new iPhone and 2 iPad minis. So I was extremely happy leaving the store. Until I got my first bill. The first bill was 386. Immediately I called customer service and explained that I wasn't aware of any activation fees. The lady basically tricked me into a contract without going over all the fees. So I called and talked to at least 10 people. I was told that they would open up a ticket and someone would call within 10 days. Nobody called and the mean time I'm calling checking on the process of the ticket.
Due to my work hours I'm unable to go inside the store but yesterday I took a day off work and went into the store. I was told that everything has an activation fee. I tried to explain Katie should went over this information with me. The manager said she'll explain it to me now. What a slap in the face. It's 2 months later and now you want to go over an agreement. Then she started explaining the bill. Once again Katie left off billing charges. So yesterday I was just going to cancel services but now they want to explain there's 175 cancellation fee per iPad mini and with the phone there's a fee too but I was so upset I left the store. This information should have been explained before purchase. And as far as the manager it feels like I was misled about purchasing these products. I just feel tricked and it's not fair. I don't work at AT&T so I don't know what's required. I'm hoping someone will be able to help resolve this issue.

I explained to the sales rep that I was happy with my iPhone 6; I just needed one with more storage, so I wanted to upgrade to a 6s with 128 GB. Instead, he sold me an iPhone 7 (which costs $100 more). There is nothing obvious on the outside of the box that identifies it as a 7, and the 6 & 7 are almost exactly the same size, so I didn't realize what he'd done until I logged into iCloud at home. And he added insurance to my account, even though I specifically told him TWICE that I didn't want it.
He also lied to me about the promotional iPad that I thought I was buying for a mere $50. I said I didn't want it if it involved adding a monthly charge to my account. He said there would be no monthly fee as long as the SIM card wasn't activated and the iPad was only used with wiFi. I found out later that he activated the SIM card at the store before he sold it to me, so now I have to pay $10/mo for 24 months. So, over the space of those 2 years, I will end up paying close to full price for that "$50" iPad. What a racket!!!

What started out as a fun day hanging out with my brother, turned into a nightmare. On a nice Tuesday in January we visited the Camp Creek AT&T store in Atlanta, Ga. My brother wanted to upgrade his phone and get the new VR gear. We walked in and stood there for 10 minutes. All of the reps seemed to be with other customers. Finally a rep sitting with a customer told us to take a seat. We sat down and waiting for 30 minutes. We watched several other people walk in and they too weren't greeted. Frustration started to build and I asked my brother to leave and come back. He insisted we stay so we did. We noticed others that came in after us were being helped so I knew this wasn't gonna end well. We complained to the manager and he seemed clueless and made excuses. No one came to us until they saw us getting upset over an hour after walking in. We waited and waited. Many customers walked out due to frustration. I wish we had.
Finally after a hour and half we get rep who seemed only interested in the sale. We stayed in the store at least 2 hours just to find out they didn't have the VR gear and they would have to mail it to us. This is a question that could have been answered in minutes but it took us almost 3 hours to get. My brother was angry and just decided to cancel his upgrade and to just leave.

Even cancelling their cellphone service (I won't do business with them anymore of course) was a huge hassle - the call center was in the Philippines, and they demanded a pin number and then refused to use email for the pin number (I email - I don't do texting). They treat their call-center people like slaves and robots and dealing with them is very aggravating. In my whole life - I have never felt as disrespected by a corporation as AT&T.

My company left Sprint for a better service (so we thought) and for better rates (so we thought). Sales Rep quoted me $630 for 10 phone service with all the bells and whistles for my business. Turns out to be $100 dollars less per month than with Sprint, so why not (so we thought). Turns out service area is no better, I would have to say worse, at least with Sprint they gave me free of charge a signal booster for my office, and for the bill $1500 dollars first month, 1100 second month and 780 from then on. Totally mislead just to get me in that 21/2 year contract. Countless hours on the phone to no avail. Will most certainly at the first chance leave AT&T.

I changed my plan to $152 plan from $165 plan, hence the bill should be lower than previous month. So I called the customer service and they gave me 1877-998-5171 for billing issues. The guy at the customer service told me because I activate new phone in my plan and the number he told me is not even in my plan. Then he gave me the number in my plan and said I deactivate and reactivate the phone. That phone is activated 1 and half year ago so why would we deactivate the phone. Then he was trying to make all the excuses for over charges. When I became mad, he transferred me to collection department though I was telling him to transfer me to supervisor.
Seriously AT&T, we not even saying we are not going to pay. We are just curious why my bill is higher than the last month as I switched to lower plan? If you are not listening to customers, you are in wrong business. I can't cancel the contract because of my personal reason but once the contract is over, I am not going to renew it.

I'm thinking everything is ok & then I get this letter & both Phones sent back saying they didn't receive them in time. They did because the shipping date when they returned them was 16 days prior to the cut off date.

My name is Lisa ** and my family is a customer of AT&T. Last year we decided to switch to Sprint, within a month or two were realized we made a mistake and wanted to switch back to AT&T. We went into a local AT&T store and explained this to them, they told us about a program where we would turn in our phones. So that is what we did. We were told that we would receive a rebate check that would payoff our Sprint bill... We sent the phones back using the return label that we were told to use on Nov. 2nd. We have still not received our rebate.
On Jan 7th we did receive a notice from Sprint saying we had one week to pay the 2369.79 or we would be placed in collections. Please understand this was our final bill amount that AT&T said that they would payoff with out rebate checks. So we called AT&T and this is when our nightmare started... We were told that they were opening up a file for our case. We have called every day and every conversation we are told something different. We have spent hours and hours and hours on the phone with AT&T. And as of today nothing has been done to help us... Even today my rep told me that we may know something Feb 17th.

Come to find out I need to pay a down payment of 200$ I believe it was. Ok that's fine. So I pay the downpayment then they say you actually have to pay the downpayment for both phones because whatever the hell they said. So then I told them "No" and had to get my money reimbursed. Second time I called about phone service I figured there was still a good deal. I just had to find it. So I end up ordering 2 cheaper phones. They canceled the order because I never accepted the terms and conditions. Well they never emailed them to me like they said. So after about 5 days to get my money back I replace the order and make sure they sent the terms and conditions. For some unknown reason they canceled the order and could never tell me why because they said we have no record of it. So I say the hell with it.
About a month later I call about porting my number. They tell me I owe 106$ for Uverse and 58$ is past due. The rest could wait until the billing date which was in 2 weeks. They told me they could start me up with no cost for the phone upfront that it would be billed later but they needed the 58$. I said ok. I got disconnected and called back only now I have a different rep who tells me I owe 149$ and it needs to be paid in full before moving on. I explained the situation and filled her in on the progress made between me and the previous agent and all the details etc but there was nothing that could be done according to her.

They try to give you temptation of gift cards... which they haven’t send till date. It was clearly told to me that "if you go by 50$ internet plan we will send the 50$ card." Secondly, the worst part is even after confirming that I only need internet service they intentionally sent 3 TV boxes… the worst part is I only have one TV... how can it be possible I would have ordered 3 U-verse TVS.
Thirdly, I got my first bill of 165$ whereas I requested for 50$ plan – 24 MBPS… But, when I called customer service they said there is no 50$ plan… you have to go for 60$ plan - 45 MBPS… I agreed on that as it was matter of 10$. Also he mentioned "please pay 165$ and you will get the credit." This was one more trap. When I got the refund, I only got refund of 66$ whereas I should have got refund of 105$. When I contacted them again over the chat they said "we will send the credit back." All of sudden the guy on chat asked me to give my number and I got a call from his manager. His manager continuously asked me to close the chat which was not able to understand at that time… he called and assured that he will get back in 4 hours as he is talking with sales department... Which was one more lie. I never got the call.
I contacted the customer service and now what they said is was shocking that… "we cannot give any refund as it’s not our fault. Its fault of that customer executive who understood wrongly that you didn’t order U-verse TV. We apologize for that." Also, there is no offer for gift or cash card. What should I do with apology… they are just trying to extract money. The worst part was that same customer executive said that "we have an offer for you that if you pay 10$ more we can increase your pack from 24 MBPS to 45 MBPS" (which I was already assuming it to be 45MBPS). Another way of extracting money.
Lastly, since starting I have been feeling internet is slow. When I checked the internet speed after talking to the above customer executive... it was an eye-opener… it was 4mbps… I am paying 60$ for MBPS.

My first call to AT&T was a customer service rep who told me "Our signals don't always go through glass or brick", I reminded her that I live in a city and it might have been nice to tell me.

I can't get texts or calls without waving my phone in the air or going out on my terrace. I file a BBB complaint. I was called immediately and it was determined it was my phone. I get a new phone and it was good for a while, but now it doesn't again. Another problem is that it took us over a year to get reimbursed on their switcher deal. We finally, after many calls, got the money. It turns out the retail place I went to never put in the information. It was also less than promised, but at that point we were happy to see any money at all. Lastly, our bill is 100 dollars more than before. I am getting ready to file another BBB complaint.

When the 1 bill arrived, we discovered not only that we had to pay for house phone around $30 a month, we also would be billed extra for using certain amount of internet! After a heated conversation with the customer service, they agreed to cancel house phone and convinced us not to cancel the entire deal. So after the house phone cancellation, our bill had to be around $50 a month. They continued to charge us for this house phone for the next 2 months.
Every time our bill arrived, we had to call to customer service and "remind" them again and again that we cancelled that phone! And every time after some arguments, they took care of the extra changes, but push us to sign up for DIRECTV. Just as soon as we thought it's all fine, we got reminder that we missed one of our bills. We were surprised, because we did pay that bill, but for some reason they didn't receive it. So new bill was made up for 2 month, which we were fine with, and were prepared to make a payment. But next day, they turned off our internet. My husband had to get online and make a payment before we were ready, and sure before the due date of that bill. Internet went back up, but our next bill went up to $40 and they decided to change us of activation fees.
This time I got really angry. The new bill didn't mention to cover missed paid bill now, or we cancel services. Instead, they sent a new bill to cover both month (which was fine) but cancelled service before we had a chance to pay, and even before stated due day. And then charged us for reactivation!

I almost blew my top. With 3 young kids who are connected most of the day I decided to respond to a flyer from DirecTV offering us unlimited data when you switch over. After an hour discussion comparing plans we said yes. We were perfectly clear letting them know it's important to have the ability to watch 5 TVs at once to which they said no problem. We were only able to watch 2 TVs and we were asked to turn one off so we can watch TV. The end result... we had them install 2 additional receivers so we can watch the 5 TVs at once. +$30 on the bill each month. Our monthly phone bill jumped to $333 a month. I travel for work so spending an hour or 2 with AT&T wasn't on my priority list.
I finally called after 4 months and was told the unlimited data plan is what added an extra $100 to our bill.

Constantly having charges to bill for things that I didn't have and didn't ask for. They even sent us 2 LG tablets. After we questioned why they were given to us we were told it was a promo for being a loyal customer. We only ever opened one tablet. We finally decided to leave ATT and they have all these fees for us leaving even though we were never in a contract. They won't take the unopen tablet back and they are asking for $300 for them. Horrible customer service, rude and disrespectful phone representatives. Not a chance we AM were going to stay with ATT after the way they treated us.

AT&T has expensive rate for poor internet service. The company is not investing and continue increasing the rate for a bad service. In a country like USA, how can we still pay so expensive when in Europe we pay half of this price with a lot more services? We don't even have a great service with line going down all the time and so slow internet.

I don't know where to begin. I had Verizon before AT&T and never had a problem but once I moved, I had to switch to a new carrier and boy did I choose poorly. Before I go any further, I will say that AT&T has decent coverage and I won't knock them for that. My problem with them is their customer service. Can you say pathetic. First problem came up about 2 months after I switched when they wouldn't refund my money for the switch program which in my eyes is a big load of false advertisement. I had to pay to cancel my service with Verizon and after 6 months of being a "loyal" AT&T customer I have yet to receive my refund for my early termination fees.
Every time I call them it's either I didn't submit my final bill correctly or it's not itemized or whatever quick excuse they can throw out to get you off the phone. And then there's the monthly bill that for whatever strange reason has never been even close to the same amount, nor is it close to what I was supposed to be paying to begin with and all they can tell me when I call is how great of a deal I'm getting with my DIRECTV so they don't know why there is a problem. I could go on and on about how pitiful their service is but at the end of the day, they win and keep getting their money. I sure wouldn't shed a tear if they went out of business though.

When AT&T places you on a program--or contract (that language doesn't matter, as they've "got you" no matter what they claim), and the equipment fails, they should take care of it. Simple. As a customer for 16 years, a bad recharging port at 13 months in a 30 month "Next" contract would have cost me over $600 to replace the phone--no negligence. Just a bad charging port in a phone that has become synonymous with battery failure: Samsung. But, that's just tough for you Mr. and Mrs. Customer. Pony up. Yes, pay the $270 a month for your four lines. AND, pony up, more. Well, AT&T, I'm not paying. I'm leaving. You can take your rules and procedures, your bottom line, and your share holders into account over customers until you don't have any customers anymore. Goodbye.

I was with AT&T for 12 years but got married and honored my husband's request to change to Verizon because he and his company were on that network. I had a phone that I had when I was with AT&T that I need to give to my brother to use while he is taking care of my Dad who had a stroke. I have followed AT&T instructions and went online 5 times to put request for them to unlock my phone from their network so that I could help my brother. I have spoken with the company supervisors and the company Manager and they have yet to unlock me from their network. I changed to another company 18 months ago and think this is totally ridiculous.
Do not get on AT&T unless you want to throw your $4-500.00 phone in the garbage if you leave their network. I was told it would be unlocked but as of yet it has not. P.S. If you try to do it online they will tell you that you entered something wrong even if a supervisor is on the phone with you while you do it to make sure all is correct. You never talk to the same person when calling customer service therefore this could all be a mistake of which I hope is fixed by the end of the day today. I will correct this if so. I should not have to beg for to be able to use my phone. I bought the phone and trusted you enough to allow you to connect your network for 12 years. Let My Phone Go.

AT&T has the best service in our area. But their Customer Service has a lot of room for improvement. It has always been horrible. They do not make you feel valued. I have been with them for almost 30 years and that doesn't matter. Since AT&T acquired Directv the AT&T Customer Service is getting bad.

I have had the best experience with AT&T service. They are very reliable and experienced. Their troubleshooting abilities for any maintenance issues are A rated. The point that they have DirecTV available for their customers is awesome. Their knowledge and computer digital experience is a plus and to me and to others they have the best service out there.

I signed up to extend my ATT wireless plan to allow me to call and receive calls to and from Canada and Mexico. Also have a cellphone while I am in Mexico. It turns out I was misled and the plan only allows to call to Canada and Mexico. When I returned to Mexico thinking I had the right plan they charged me $260. Wow what a rip off and they would not compromise. I am now in the process of suing them.

Their service is overpriced and the quality of phone services is horrible. The company doesn't address the problems with their phone service, you're constantly being told to go to the store and have your SIM card replaced. Most of the time you lose some of your information from your phone if you didn't do a back up before you walked into the store. You're still left with the same problems of dropping calls or static on your phone line that so bad you just have to end your calls and find a landline. Why should a customer have to keep switching company to get what they're paying for.

I originally had AT&T DirecTV and AT&T Internet. Then I moved to a new location which did not allow me to have DirecTV for the satellite. So, I called an AT&T representative to switch me back to U-Verse in October. When they did so, they never cancelled my DirecTV nor did they send me the box for the device return. They have been charging me for AT&T DirecTV for service and the unreturned box. Every time I call to clarify, they guarantee me that a box will be sent to me and that my service will be cancelled. It took me 3 calls of over an hour each to get my service canceled for DirecTV. Yet, I still get charges for DirecTV.
Just recently I called again. This time after an hour and a half of discussion, they hung up on me on a transfer call. I still have DirecTV charges and they have still yet to send me a return box. I am sitting with $200.00 of charges that are on the carelessness of AT&T and I'm just trying to follow their process. In fact, the DirecTV customer rep on one call told me all I needed to do with the box is to take it to the post office. Apparently for DirecTV, they need to send you a box. The people at the post office know the process better than customer representatives. After this experience, I will be taking my loyalty elsewhere.

As a Realtor, I use my phone for business, and lately at random times I cannot use it AT ALL... emergency calls only, messages don't send or receive. Countless hours on the phone with AT&TERRIBLE and nothing has changed. From rude comments from stupidvisors like: "You need to change carriers because we can't make you happy." I just want the service I pay for. You shouldn't use your phone for business because we can't guarantee service... The area I live is rural Lake Livingston TX on the lake and when I became a client in 2004, there were 2 towers. Now there is one and it is POOR service and with upgrades (cost me $20 a month more on my phone bill, a micro cell, a new router because a tech destroyed mine while logged into my computer to install the micro cell) I have done everything.
They won't give me a discount, won't give me a new phone (they lie and call their replacements new when they are re-furbished phones), to hours of time lost talking to liar after liar who "thank you for being a loyal customer" and then lie about what they can't do to having cancer in my ear removed from my phone overheating... I AM AT A LOSS TO DEAL WITH THEM. THEY NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE for stealing my money every month.

I have been a customer for over 15 years. I was with them when they bought out Cellular One. Each month I find erroneous charges on my bill, the same service has a different charge each month and each month it takes at least an hour on the phone to straighten it out. If you want to talk to their retention department you will hold up to another hour.
I took my daughter to buy a new phone at an AT&T store. I was asked if I wanted family insurance. I declined however, it was billed and added to my account anyway. I called last month and thought I straightened it out until I got this month's bill and was told no one ever canceled it. I informed the rep I have a recorded conversation from last month "if you would like me to email it to you." She did not even care or offer an email to send it.
They bill what they want when they want and you have to take an hour or two out of your life each month to correct their mistake with no compensation. I was told that with the plan I purchased each additional line would be 9.99. I was being billed 40.00 dollars for each line. After complaining it was lowered to 25.00 per month - a far cry from the 9.99 that I was told and cannot get. I consider this theft by deception and AT&T should be charged by the FCC or some government agency. Someone needs to regulate these phone carriers. Do NOT USE AT&T CELL SERVICE, you will NOT get what they tell you EVER. I'm looking to switch to SPRINT or VERIZON now.

Terrible service, I very rarely have phone reception indoors in any home I've been in, even with the latest iPhone. I've tried different iPhones, Androids, all of it in different friend's houses in different cities, terrible reception in every house. When driving on highways, again, no reception. Customer service is a joke, truly abyssal customer support. Tech support is even worse, their answer to anything is "have you turned off then on your phone?" No, I never thought of that... seriously?! Constant rate increases once your plan expires. Terrible offerings of new phone prices once your contract expires, classic bait and switch. Cheap phones when you first sign up, but that's the last cheap phone you'll ever get.
AT&T phone numbers are reassigned too quick. I've gotten at least a dozen wrong number calls a week since switching to AT&T, and I've had my number changed several times to try to fix this -- no luck. Never had so many wrong number and spam calls in my life, and I've had cell phones for 20+ years since the 1980s. Overall, junk service, junk reception, pricey phones, terrible tech support. Miss a payment by a day? They'll charge you $40 to reactivate your phone. Lose a phone you're leasing? Be prepared for whatever penalties. Want paper bills by mail? More fees there. Want to change your number because the number they gave you gets too much spam and wrong numbers? Another fee. Want visual voicemail that actually works? Fee. Want to upgrade your phone early? Fee, fee, fee. Read your contract very close and every word of it, they'll nickel and dime you as much as humanely possible.
I've used almost every major and regional phone provider since the 1980s, and AT&T is by far the worst and by far the most expensive. Huge waste of time and money, with dreadful customer service and a ridiculously old, hard to navigate website. Online customer/tech support is laughable and is of zero use, forcing you to call them for minor questions -- most of which they have no solution for or aren't willing to help with at all.

Someone purchased a phone in another state, but used my email address on the order and I received so far two emails concerning this purchase, my email address, but not my purchase. I just called Rachel ** with AT&T employee # ** and after being on the phone with her for 45 minutes, she was unable to help me. She said that the AT&T seller that put in my email to their account could not be contacted and my email associated with the someone else's order could not be corrected by her or the seller and would not let me talk to her supervisor and told me they would not be able to help me either. She also said I may be getting more emails concerning this order and just to disregard them.
This is beyond comprehension to me that a problem by a branch of the same company can not be corrected. But she did say she was sorry, but there was nothing she could do, a lot of help that does for me.

I HATE this company. They have wasted so much of my time. I will absolutely never use this company ever again. My sim card magically stops working one day, so I spend 45 minutes in a chat with someone who all they tell me to do is restart the phone. Doesn't work so he tells me to go to the store and get a new sim card. I do this, and the store has one person working there, who isn't willing to help anyone, and sends me home with a sim card and I have to contact customer support to activate it. Takes 45 minutes, they activate it and the phone is still not working. 45 minutes!!! So the guy puts me on hold and all the sudden I am being spoken to by a completely new person who has no idea why I am calling. Needless to say I cancelled my plan that day.

First, I waited for 20 minutes for someone to get on the line. I am currently with Charter but was dissatisfied. I wanted to switch companies. When someone did get on the line they were laughing and joking with each other. Then about a minute of this passed before they realized a customer was on the phone. I first got Anne Marie who was like "can I help you?" I explained to her that I had been waiting on the line and heard all the laughter and joking.
She then said again "can I help you?" I was like "Yes, I was trying to get service but after waiting 20 minutes and then hearing all the JOKING I'm not sure. Can I speak to you supervisor?" I then after another 5 minutes, so 25 minutes in got a lady named Sandy, ID # **, was like "sorry for all of that!" I was like "I waited 20 minutes to talk to someone and then I got laughter."
Sandy said "Well... Google maps pulls up funny addresses and we laugh at the images Google maps produces." I also was like "what about the 20 minute wait?" "Well, we are at high call percentage so... sorry. Can I do something for you?" No Way! I'm not understanding why this is not run like a high volume company that it is. I used to have AT&T before Charter and I know why again why I switched. I don't like paying Charter's prices but I'll stay for their customer service. Much nicer and 100% more professional.

To start 1/2/17 AT&T suspended my service for no reason. Demanding I pay for all their overcharges I have been calling about for 3 months. Each customer service agent less helpful than the other. No one could tell me where the charges were. I paid my bills and found out they had me on different billings because they put me on a U-verse plan for unlimited data but did not combine bills. Once they did I was getting charged more than quoted. My bill went from $300 to $1000 yet no one could help that or still didn't see my bill discrepancy.
Every time I called in it was the runaround with the worse possible phone connection. Finally since they are forcing me to call because of service interruptions even after I paid $600 in overages, the greedy grubs kept me on the phone for 2 hours and 4 minutes another $200. After 6 service reps I still don't have all my services. The credits haven't been applied and from beginning to end it's been a runaround of lie after lie. If there is a lawyer or fair consumer advocate out there please help. This is completely ludicrous and since I'm stuck in a contract I can not go to another company at this time.
