I would be wary of using AT&T. I am experiencing phone fraud where my phone numbers were stolen and the criminal took over my account. It has been two weeks, and am having a terrible experience with AT&Ts customer service - particularly their "fraud department". It isn't possible to get anyone on the phone to speak with in person. I submitted a fraud claim on their website, and the claim status a week later said "Closed", and to see the email for a conclusion of their fraud investigation. I never received an email... I am going to file a claim with the FCC, and if AT&T doesn't resolve this soon I will pursue legal action.

This has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a wireless provider. I was with T-Mobile for over 10 years before switching to AT&T six months ago. I was promised free phones as part of the promotion, yet I am still being charged for the new devices. On top of that, the phones were misplaced, and when I contacted customer service, I was kept waiting on the phone for two hours. After finally speaking with someone, I was told they could not trace the package — even though I provided the UPS tracking number. I was then informed that it was not their problem. That response is completely unacceptable.
Now I am trying to port my number back and speak with customer service to ensure there are no additional surprises or unexpected charges. Once again, I have been on hold for two hours with no answer. What kind of business operates this way? I have dealt with many companies over the years, and I have never been kept waiting this long or treated with such disregard. This entire situation has been extremely frustrating and disappointing.

At&T is the worst provider I have ever had for WIFI and phone service. Customer service is also horrible. They do not want to credit you for bad service and transfers you all over the place. I am losing money for not being able to connect and do my job accurately. This has caused strife for me. Family, Friends, and my clients have mentioned multiple times when they call it sounds like my phone is disconnected or it goes straight to voice mail. This happens anywhere I go. This has become frustrating to miss important calls. There is no compassion when you call for help and they never want to credit you. I was told by a rep to cancel although I am in a contract. I was given a 1 time 10-dollar credit. This was a slap in my face.

Before you sign up with AT&T, understand this: the price you’re quoted is not the price you’ll keep. They hook you with one number. Months later, your bill quietly increases. No clear warning. No straight answer. When you call, you’ll get what I now call “AT&T Math™” — a rotating set of explanations that somehow all justify charging you more. When you call, the real performance begins.
First explanation: “It was a three-year discount that expired.” Convenient. Not clearly emphasized at signup, but suddenly very real when it benefits them. Then when you push back: “It’s because your phone was paid off early.” Except the phone was paid off early with a penalty paid immediately. So apparently in AT&T’s accounting universe, something resolved months ago can resurface as a retroactive justification for charging more later. And when that excuse collapses, they pivot again: “It’s actually your internet.” The same no-contract $37 internet that quietly increased without warning. Amazing how prices rise automatically, but transparency requires escalation.
The most revealing part? After arguing long enough, they suddenly “find” a way to lower the bill — not even back to the original price, but to something lower than what they insisted five minutes earlier was fixed and unavoidable. Which makes one thing obvious: The higher charge wasn’t mandatory. It was opportunistic. Every call feels like listening to representatives cycle through approved talking points, adjusting the narrative until something sticks. It doesn’t feel like resolution. It feels like containment. Every conversation is a new version of reality. You don’t leave AT&T because of coverage. You leave because trust erodes. Quote low. Increase quietly. Offer shifting explanations. Adjust only when confronted. Customers eventually notice. And once they do, they don’t just lower their bill — they lower their loyalty.
So the higher charge wasn’t required. It was just what they were hoping you wouldn’t question. That’s not transparent billing. That’s testing customer tolerance. If you’re comfortable monitoring every statement and debating your bill like it’s a courtroom case, go ahead. If you expect honesty and consistency from a multi-billion-dollar company, save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere. You’ve been warned.

We'll they lied about 2019 breach then again it comes out in 2024 again and supposedly $7500 to customers, nope doubt that.
Now they are lying again but we all know that this month. What are they hiding now? 3 weeks no cell service or issues around the country with internet. Let me guess. 3rd time's a charm. Besides breached files this month from 2019 resurfacing as decrypted. Why no cell service now and we still pay a lot of monthly service. 2 hrs in chat with no resolution downloading e sims and calls all month or go to the store. Service in certain counties but not all. Then the truth or another lie. Downed towers Or rinse & repeat? What are you hiding.?

Atnt is the worst. I switched to T-Mobile and owed 700 dollars for a phone. I was waiting for T-Mobile to pay off. I went to cancel service. They told me I can't so I ended up with a 1300 dollar bill. They said they will settle for 1,069. I paid it. Then asked for the pin to unlock my phones. They said since I settled for less I can't unlock my phones. They are crooks.

I visited my local AT&T store on 2/22/26 at 4 pm. The place was busy and a pleasant, young man named Jaime approached me. Despite the fact that I wasn’t purchasing anything, he took time to help me solve issues with my AT&T Apple Smart phone. I wasn’t sure the problem with my Messages app was an equipment issue or an application issue. He did his best trying to determine the cause of the issue. Despite the fact the issue wasn’t fixed he did determine that it was an application issue. I will have to contact Apple directly. I trust you have a rewards program for your employees and I would like him to receive recognition for dedication to his job. Thank you. Sincerely, Gerri ** ph: **

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with AT&T and what I believe are very misleading trade-in and upgrade practices that resulted in significant financial loss for my family. My wife and I switched to AT&T and traded in two iPhone 12 Pro Max devices under an offer that was presented as providing $830 per line in value. Based on that representation, AT&T took permanent possession of our phones and applied credits toward two iPhone 16 Pro Max devices over a 36-month installment plan.
We also enrolled in the Next Up program and paid extra monthly fees specifically so we could upgrade early without financial disadvantage beyond paying any remaining balance. About four months later, we upgraded to iPhone 17 Pro Max devices using Next Up. At that time, we paid approximately $262 per line as required and returned the iPhone 16 Pro Max devices to AT&T.
Only after the upgrade did we discover that AT&T removed the remaining credits associated with the original trade-in value. This means AT&T kept our trade-in phones while we lost a large portion of the promised value that had been offered in exchange for them. The total financial loss ended up being about $1,199 per line — $2,398 total.
What is most frustrating is that we were never clearly informed that upgrading through Next Up would cause forfeiture of hundreds of dollars of trade-in value already tied to devices AT&T retained. If this had been clearly disclosed, we would never have upgraded at that time. We have spent many hours trying to resolve this with customer service without success. This experience has caused financial stress and completely damaged our trust in the company. I strongly encourage anyone considering AT&T promotions or upgrade programs to read the fine print very carefully and fully understand the risks before agreeing to anything. At this point, we are still hoping AT&T will take responsibility and provide a fair resolution.

AT&T offers a sub standard service with some of the most frustrating customer service on the planet. IF you are searching for Phone, Wireless, or Internet services you should run as fast and as far away as you can from AT&T. They are a terrible company that keeps buying up competitors to replace them with degraded services at a premium price. Just don't do business with them if you can avoid it at all.

In August 2025, an AT&T representative at a Target location promised to set up our account as a business account but incorrectly opened it as a consumer account. As a result, our number porting from T-Mobile was not completed properly, and we continued paying T-Mobile for four months. We later received bills exceeding $700, with an $800 balance still outstanding. Despite visiting a corporate store and escalating to AT&T’s Executive Office, the issue has not been resolved. Multiple representatives have failed to follow through, and we continue to receive billing for an account that was set up incorrectly. After six months of repeated attempts to resolve this, we are seeking correction of the account and removal of all related charges.

After seeing a commercial on TV that I could get iPhone 17 Pros for both me and my wife for FREE. I called customer service and spoke to an AT&T employee that confirmed that that was correct. All I had to do was pay the taxes on the phones and return our current 13. I did everything he asked and ordered the phones. He also stated that we would be paying the same price as we were paying on our iphone 13. Guess what? When we got our first bill, it showed that we were paying for the new Phones.
I called customer service again and got to speak to a rep, a supervisor, a resolution person and guess what. They basically said that I lied. Nothing was done to fix the problem and I am stuck paying for two FREE phones. I spoke to AT&T employee on a phone that was being recorded by them and they could listen to what he said to confirm my concern. What a bunch of bull. A loyal customer get no justice. I will give a great review to any of my friends and family to use them again..

I called AT&T to sign up for home internet because I was unhappy with my Xfinity service. That will be covered in another post. When I spoke with the AT&T salesperson, they were happy to offer me home internet service with fiber optics and also offered me wireless service. They quoted me a monthly price for five lines, for my family, and it seemed lower than my T-Mobile bill. I decided to go ahead and switch my wireless services to AT&T. I was also promised two new devices with trade-ins, and the monthly rates would still be lower than what I was paying due to multiple discounts applied. After several weeks, I received no phones, three lines were stuck with T-Mobile, and my bill for the two lines that did switch over to AT&T was higher than the five lines I was paying for with T-Mobile.
I spoke with many customer service representatives and spent an average of an hour with each of them. Unfortunately, none of the customer service representatives knew how to solve the issue of getting the lines transferred. After a few weeks, I decided to switch back to T-Mobile. It only took one phone call and less than an hour to switch all lines back to T-Mobile. I’ve been with T-Mobile for 10 years under my account and another 10 years before that under my wife’s account. I’ve always had great customer service. This has been my only experience with AT&T, and it cost me a lot of time and money.

Don't buy their screen protector warranty. We have multiple phones for our company through AT&T. We added their lifetime screen protector warranty at the salesperson's recommendation (It wasn't cheap). We used the warranty a few times and it worked out well, we would go to the AT&T store and they would replace the screen protector and charge us around $11.00 per occurrence. I went to the AT&T store the other day to have my cracked screen protector replaced and they told me they won't be changing protectors for iPhone 14's at the store anymore and that I had to go on-line and do it through their website.
I went to their website and after some searching found I needed to jump through a bunch of hoops... Send proof of purchase, they would send me a screen protector and that I would have to send back the broken one. I thought maybe my iPhone was getting too old so I looked it up and Apple intends to be selling and supporting the iPhone 14 into the 2030's. I went to Amazon and I can get a good quality 3-pack with all the installation tools for $6.60. I feel we were charged a good about of money for warranty, but it was convenient to use so it was ok... They charged me approximately $11.00 to change the screen protector, which when you think about it, the $11.00 covered the part and labor. Let's also remember that when you're in the store you might pick up some accessories you might need or maybe even get that new phone you were thinking about and get signed up for a new contract.
What started out as a good marketing strategy was discontinued and just made me feel ripped off and mad. Staples is a few doors down from AT&T, I'll go there for my accessories. I ordered the 3 pack from Amazon, at least I can trust their service. As far as the button below "Recommend to your family & friends", yes, I will tell everyone I know NOT to get the warranty. AT&T is just another big company making the usual big company decisions that ruin their reputation.

I had a very bad experience with AT&T and feel completely misled. Before switching my service from AT&T to T-Mobile, I contacted AT&T and was told I would receive a $1,500 credit to help cover my remaining balance if I transferred my lines to another carrier. Based on that promise, I decided to leave AT&T. As part of the process, I also returned two iPhones valued at about $2,700 to AT&T. I followed all instructions and was told everything would be properly credited.
After I completed the switch, AT&T never gave me the promised $1,500 credit. When I called to ask about it, they told me the credit would only be issued if I came back to AT&T service. This was never explained to me before I switched, and it completely contradicts what I was originally told. Because of AT&T’s incorrect and misleading information, I:
• Changed carriers based on false promises• Returned two expensive phones
• Never received the credit I was guaranteed
• Lost a large amount of money
I relied on AT&T’s statements in good faith, and they failed to keep their word. Customer service has been unhelpful and no one has taken responsibility. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone after this experience.

I have had AT&T, formerly known as BellSouth, or Southern Bell, for many years. I recently had to fire them and what an unpleasant experience it has been. I had the internet and have a landline (yep old school to run my security system and so I would have phone service despite adverse weather conditions) and finally had to get rid of my internet service because it just did not work well and I must have connectivity because am a tech support person. When I could get through to a real person, they were not very helpful.
I canceled the ‘service’ in November, sent back the equipment, and then the fun began! They kept billing me. I called, I wrote, I did everything except send a carrier pigeon and nothing worked. They finally admitted that my service was canceled and that they would credit the money back to me. I still have my landline and instead of putting the credited amount against that bill, they are sending me a check. Supposedly. We shall see!

I have been an AT&T customer for about 3 weeks now. We switched over from Verizon which is way overpriced but at least their calls work most of the time. I have called AT&T 3 times now been cut off once and not called back even though the CS rep had an alternative callback number for me. AT&T is not interested in doing any in depth work to troubleshoot problems. I have been in telecom for 30 years and know how to troubleshoot calling issues. They don't want to take the time to look at why failed calls fail. They just want to give you an excuse and an easier alternative instead to get you off the phone.

AT&T is the world’s worst organization. I have spent over 40 hours trying to achieve what is a new sale for them, but with the discounts promised, to no avail. I have been a loyal customer paying through the nose for over 20 years here in Santa Rosa, CA. I should switch cell companies but haven’t due to 5 phone lines across the country and the disruption that would cause. However I’ve realized I need to change.
My story is too long to tell but I would love to hear from an AT&T person who actually cares about customer experience so I can explain my terrible experience that has cost me an incredible about of time and money both. I still haven’t achieved adding a new line and phone to my account. It took four separate attempts at adding an authorized user; it just kept getting undone, over and over. No one can explain why. I was told by corporate that we had to go into a store to get the physician discount and so we did.
We were told in the store down in Santa Rosa Ave here in Santa Rosa CA (the store that claims to be the “corporate store”) that we had to open a FirstNet account to get the discount and that the normal physician discount was no longer available. That turned out to be a lie by that store’s manager. Now I spent over three hours on the phone, working with a fellow named Chris, who really helped me, and issued a quote for the new line, discounts, and we even chose the new phone number. But as usual, the call dropped and he didn’t call back.
The new agent I’m now on hold with can’t see the old quote and suddenly the discounts are gone and he can’t see that a phone or phone number was chosen - he can’t see any of the work we spent three hours on except for adding me back in as an authorized user again. AT&T told us we had to make my husband the authorized user of the account to get a discount. So I did that. But now all the 20+ years we have with AT&T suddenly don’t count and we don’t qualify for discounts because the account is too new.
You do a disservice to us no matter which way we turn AT&T. You are beyond expensive and make getting anything done beyond painful. It’s not ok that you sent me a quote with a discounted plan that gave me a free IPhone 17Air (except sales tax), no activation fee, and that you then have no record of that quote on your side when the call drops and you don’t call me back and I call back to try to pick up where I left off, for hour number four. Why does it take so long to get what is actually a sale for you done?! You are the Most Maddening organization and I am now determined to leave you after 20+ years of 5 lines. You will be sorry. Though I know you actually don’t care - that much is obvious. The only talk you’ll understand is when I walk. Coming up soon.

After 26 years of loyalty to ATT, I made the decision today, 2/2/26 to switch providers to save an incredible amount of money for far better service. I was tired of ATT spotty coverage and what I was paying month-over-month. Insult to injury, I made the transition on the first day of the billing period and found out that ATT is going to bill me for one more month!!! This was probably buried in my contract, but after 26 years of loyalty, they couldn't waive this requirement.

AT&T talked us into a family plan switch from Verizon (who we've been with for over 30 years). We we were told by the sales rep, that we would save $45.00 on our bill a month, get $1000.00 back in gift cards, that we could use anywhere, and we would get 4 new I-Phones. When we got the phones, I called about a question and the customer service rep activated 3 of the phones (which I didn't want her to do) after she did that, we couldn't get them turned on for hours. None of us had phone service. It took another 5 hour on the phone with technical support, to get the phones to at least turn on.
Then on day 3, we were told that the deal we were offered by the original sales agent, wouldn't be honored and we would actually be paying $40.00 more a month on monthly our bill!. So on the 4th day, we ended up switching back to our original carrier. Now we have send the new phones from AT&T back (at our own expense) and pay the restocking fees. That's going to cost us more money for NOTHING! What a MESS! Poor business practice. This whole experience lasted 4 days, it was a total nightmare!
Also, the sales rep who originally sold us the deal got screwed. She was very nice and help us through everything the whole 4 days. She had her name taken off the whole order (by a customer service rep) who we were talking to with to fix issues about one of the phones. That's so unprofessional and backstabbing! Never again, will I get sucked into this bait and switch game from any phone company again. I'll stick to my original carrier from now on! My original carrier ended up giving us a great deal with new phones too, when they took us back. Old saying goes... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Lesson learned.

Unless the price you're quoted can't be beat, don't switch. I signed up for internet (NO problems with the internet switch) and also moved my phone number over to AT&T (kept my existing phone). It took two days to get my AT&T number to work on my new phone. Hours and hours on BOTH days spent with online chat (clueless) and on the phone being transferred to multiple departments. Now it's finally working, but they can't see my account until the phone bill is generated. Which means I can't change my voicemail code until they show I have an account with them.
Online sign in made me change my passcode, now it won't recognize the new code. Calls are going to voicemail but I can't do squat about them. Now I find out I'll be getting two separate bills. Really AT&T? If Spectrum can figure out how to give me one combined bill, why can't you? Seriously.

And they said that they would refuse to give back the money that they took in Oct, Nov, and Dec because I should have canceled the watch line. I never authorized a watch line and it never showed up on my account as a separate line, so how would I cancel something that was not evident when I went to MyAT&T? They did not want to give me any information about how to file a complaint or grievance. And the person on the line had the nerve to try to sell me something else. I am SO done with AT&T, I will never use them again. Such corporate greed...

In SEP 2025 I switched from T-Mobile to ATT. I was told by the agent that I would be compensated for switching to ATT. He didn't tell me I needed to do anything. After not receiving the reward card that I was supposed to receive, I began a fruitless attempt to find out why I hadn't received the card. I paid T-Mobile $650.00 to get out of the contract. After multiple calls to ATT, I still don't have it. They Took my iPhone 16 plus and gave me a iPhone 15.
After all the lying and dishonesty I decided to cancel. I was then informed that I would have to return the I phone 15 back to them so I did but was told that I wouldn't get my phone back that they took. I now have no gift card and no phone. After a few months I get a bill for $850.00 for the I phone 15 that I retuned back to them. I never should have signed up for ATT. I would not have switched if I had known how much trouble I would have with ATT. First of all, to get to a customer service person was impossible on some days.

I decided to purchase my son a phone. Fairly simple. I went to AT&T.com, picked out the phone, selected a plan and paid. I am thinking all is well until I go into my email and see "canceled order. We couldn't verify if this purchase was you". I called customer support. The 1st time I got connected dude put me on hold and hung up. Second time I was told "Oh yeah, you're supposed to input your gov.id information in during checkout. SOMETIMES the website doesn't ask people to do that but that's why the order canceled".
I was so annoyed. Who developed the website to sometimes take government ID to verify a person??? And even still, it isn't a good fraud method if that's what AT&T wanted to stop. Nevertheless, I told the lady, "this phone is a present for Christmas for my son. What can we do?" Rep responds, "We will run ANOTHER soft inquiry into your credit." Another???? You mean AT&T continues to check your credit, everything and not have it on file? You mean to tell me no one had my initial credit inquiry? I respond, ok. We place a second order with a ported number. Guess what??? That order gets stuck. Guess how I find out? Checking the status.
Again, I have to call AT&T and deal with their revolving door ivr. I get a rep on the line. The rep says, "If the number doesn't port, we can't send the phone". What the he**? I have bought Walmart phones with no numbers and all you do is activate and port. Why is AT&T so difficult? Again, we have to cancel due to number being ported being stuck. Again someone says, "We can run your credit." Everything they do this they fail to mention that your AT&T score goes down. Yes, you have an AT&T score even though AT&T is checking your credit "softly" as they say. I said, "No just cancel everything". This was such a headache and then to add injury to insult, the reps tried to sell me AT&T internet.

So I was told by a at&t representative, But that can always change, because they are not all consistent with what they say or do or promise?? They constantly changed my billing date, even after we set & agreed upon a particular date on which I received my money and then when I was not able to meet their newly unexpected new billing date, that they did not notified me they changed, they penalized me and placed my account on restricted mode and severely hiked up the price a couple of times. A at&t representative told me over the phone, that they pretty much reserve the right to change the billing cycle as they please????
When one confronts a at&t representatives about changing my billing date more than a couple of times another strategy they will use, is that they will vehemently deny, that they even change it and even go as far as saying, that there was no record of such changes???

I went into this AT&T store to explore options for replacing my phone. I was told by the sales associate that, because my phone was already paid off and due to a current promotion, I could trade it in and receive a new iPhone 17 Pro completely free. I made it very clear that I do not care about having the latest phone—I simply need something reliable to make calls and take decent photos.
I asked three separate times if the phone would be completely free, with no cost to me. Each time, I was assured that while a charge might appear on my monthly bill, it would be offset by an equal credit—making the phone free. Based on those repeated assurances, I agreed to the trade-in. I was instructed to take my old phone home, transfer my data, wipe it, and return it to the store to be boxed and shipped. When my husband returned to the store with the phone, we were then informed that the credit would not make the new phone free after all.
I immediately went back to the store and stated that I did not want the new phone if it was not free. The store manager, Quary, told me he would look into it and call me back. About 15 minutes later, he called and said the associate had “pushed the wrong button” and that the issue would be corrected so the phone would be free. I specifically asked what to do if it was not corrected later, and he told me not to worry—just come see him and he would take care of it.
A few weeks later, we received a bill showing that the phone was not free. I contacted Quary again and was told the promotion had changed and there was nothing he could do. I reminded him of his assurances, but after multiple calls, he stated he could not resolve the issue. I was told a regional manager, Eric, would contact me.
Weeks passed with no callback. I called the store multiple times, left messages, and still never received a call from the regional manager. During several of these conversations, Quary spoke to me in a condescending manner, repeatedly saying the promotion had ended and talking to me as if I did not understand basic information. When I calmly told him I felt he was being disrespectful and talking down to me, he became angry, said he was disconnecting the call, and hung up on me. At no point did I raise my voice or use inappropriate language.
I am absolutely appalled by the customer service at this location. I was misled by both the sales associate and the manager, given repeated assurances that were not honored, and then treated poorly when I tried to resolve the issue. I am also extremely disappointed that I was never contacted by a regional manager despite multiple requests. Do not do business with this location.

We started service with AT&T in September 2022, with a 4-line plan of which we only used 3 lines. In December 2023, we paid for all four phones in full, but we continued service with AT&T until June 2024 when, due to difficulties beyond our control, we switched to T-Mobile. At the time we asked AT&T for the codes to unlock the phones, but since we were only using 3 of the 4, we never verified the code for that 4th phone (which although it was never in use, it was always part of the plan, with an associated number to it, and paid in full).
In November 2025, we contacted AT&T with the purpose of unlocking that 4th phone. On all occasions (more than 6 calls) they gave us different reasons of why it could be unblocked. On November 29, 2025 a representative who goes by the name of Jennifer, tried to unlock the phone and when she couldn't, she told us to wait 2 days and try to access the https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ website.
On December 1, 2025, we did that and it resulted in having to pay $24.99 for that service, but at the end of the process the website informed us that we still had to pay an additional $106.00. That same day in the afternoon we called AT&T again and when we did not receive the necessary help from the representative who assisted us named William, we asked to speak with a supervisor, and Angelo answered us, who told us that according to AT&T policy, after making a contract with AT&T if we do not use the phone for 60 days it is unable to be unlocked even if the payment is settled.
When we paid off the phones (16 months after we started service with AT&T), no one alerted us to this policy before we made the payment for a device they knew would never be unlocked. In the last 2 calls to AT&T (December 2 and 3, 2025) we were informed that apparently, the IMEI of this fourth phone was erroneously registered under another AT&T account and cannot be unlocked as there is an outstanding debt associated with that account. As for the IMEI of the phone that was registered under our account, which was paid in full in December 2023, it is unknown who has that phone physically. Needless to say, we feel extremely disappointed with this situation, we feel scammed, and we want to share our story so that other people don't go through the same situation.

AT&T Customer Service Experience. I am writing to share my experience with AT&T’s customer service, which has been deeply disappointing and unprofessional. I originally purchased an iPhone 16 through AT&T but was mistakenly sent an iPhone 15. I returned the incorrect device and was refunded for the sale charge. However, AT&T later claimed they never received the phone and issued me a bill for $729.99. Resolving this issue required over five hours on the phone with customer service. Despite providing all necessary documentation—including the RMA number, order number, tracking number, and account details, I was repeatedly denied escalation to a supervisor.
Only after my sixth hour of calls was I finally able to speak with a supervisor, who acknowledged the error and resolved the false billing. Unfortunately, six months later, I received another identical bill for $729.99 on the same account. Once again, I had to spend hours reaching the escalation department before the matter was corrected. I was assured I would receive written confirmation of the resolution within 24 hours, but no email ever arrived. When I followed up 48 hours later, I was told the reason was that AT&T only had my phone number on file—even though I had provided my email address multiple times and explained that I do not currently have a phone. Even after re-confirming my email address, I was told AT&T could not send confirmation by email or mail.
Instead, I was advised to visit a physical AT&T store and ask staff to pull up my account so I could take a photo of their screen. This is not only inconvenient but unacceptable. Customers should not spend hours on the phone or physically visit a store to resolve simple billing errors. The lack of escalation, refusal to provide written confirmation, and inconsistent communication demonstrate serious gaps in training, professionalism, and accountability within AT&T’s customer service. I will not be using AT&T’s services in the future. I strongly urge AT&T leadership to review these practices, as I am certain many other customers have experienced similar frustration. No one has the time or patience to repeatedly dispute false charges. At the very least, AT&T should compensate customers for the significant inconvenience caused by these repeated errors and the excessive time wasted trying to resolve them.

I had a data plan on my tablet. My tablet got stolen so I called ATT rep about my tablet got stolen and that I did not get to use it very much. So the rep said he would help me and got it approved to zero the balance out. 3 months later I get a bill with a balance saying that I own att. I told the what the last rep said that he did and the last rep did not go through with his promise therefore causing me to have a bill that went to collection. Didn't go to then because they don't want to help you rather get you on the phone by lying to you which is what they did to me.

You know, I have read a lot of reviews on the Consumer Affairs for AT&T, and they are no different that when I was with them for a very short time. Their Customer Service was slow, I kept getting transferred from 800# to 800#, they were very incompetent when it came to trying to fix problems, really never fixing my one pig problem of a deaf mute phone being sent. After countless times of calling trying to get them to give me a correct address to send the stupid phone back they finally did, but then it was absolutely impossible to get them to send me a replacement. They stated they needed to do my refund which also took several calls to resolve, which never was resolved. I finally gave up and put in a complaint to the Attorney General of my City. They resolved my problem within a week and I received my rather large refund back.
The reason I decided to “review” on this site is the ridiculous commercial putting T-Mobile under the bus with AT&T’s negative talk about T-Mobile. I have been with T-Mobile now for 6 years after I left At&T, and have had nothing but fabulous Customer Service from them. In fact they go above and beyond to satisfy me with excellent service. Shame on you AT&T, lying about yourself and spreading gossip about another company which is absolutely not true. Oh, and one of your lies about AT&T being the ones who invented the phone, HA, Ha, Ha! Everyone knows Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone! Maybe you should go back to school and learn your CORRECT history again.

I am a new customer to AT&T. I initially called AT&T to schedule an internet installation. The technician arrived on time; however, another representative was with him to convince me to switch my wireless services. I have been with Verizon for over nine years and have never had any issues. I was convinced to switch because the AT&T representative promised I would save money on my bill. Specifically, he stated I would receive credits for up to three months to give me time to pay off the remaining balance on my old carrier's bill. I explicitly told the representative, Lawrence, that I could not afford to pay two bills. He promised me I would see the credits on my next bill.
He took my phone, but no credit was applied to my account. My account has since been drafted for the full amount of $367.00. I called and spoke to Lawrence, who then stated he would immediately apply a $350.00 credit to my account. I still do not see that credit reflected in my balance. As a result of this misinformation, I am now obligated to pay Verizon back $2,500.00 and am paying AT&T over $300.00. I deeply regret switching carriers because I feel I was lied to. I am very upset, and AT&T is putting me in a difficult financial bind.

I had a terrible experience with this company. I requested a replacement for my daughter's phone because it was damaged, and when I called, they initially told me to return the device and pay $5.50 per month. Then they raised the price to $12.50 without any explanation. I tried to return the device several times, going to three different stores and UPS, all without success. First, they gave me a return slip, then a confirmation number, but nothing ever came. The last woman who helped me said a box with the return slip would arrive in three days, but it never did.
The 30-day return period wasted, and now they've raised the monthly fee to $32 and told me not to return the damaged phone. This is their fault, with their inconsistent responses every time I called. You can find all the recordings online, if they actually keep them as they claim, for quality assurance and service improvement. As for me, anyone who wants to fall for this game of lies can continue here at AT&T.

When told by CS I could not do it on a senior plan, I told the CS person to NOT switch me to the senior plan and keep me on my existing plan (or variations of it since approximately 1987), however, AT&T changed it anyway - meanwhile I was trading in my phone not knowing the plan had changed. Now after three very lengthy calls to CS trying to straighten out the billing, I am told by AT&T CS there is NOTHING AT& T will do and I have to pay for the phone.

I've never left a review before but the ridiculous customer service I've received today needs to be shared! First, we purchased new phones from AT&T for our business which is in a rural area from the Iron Mountain, MI store. We were told by Riley and Will that our areas would be covered by their service. I have zero service at my home, and my boss has limited service. When I went back to AT&T the first time, Will told me the issue was an update that needed to be completed and after that it would work fine; it did not! When I went back, Riley told me that I needed to use my phone through my Wi-Fi. When I connected to my Wi-Fi, I still did not have coverage. When I called Riley back today to complain about still not having coverage, he said that I was being rude (I was not) and that he did not have to speak with me and hung up on me. This is after he complained about it being their busiest time of the year.
I then called AT&T customer service and after holding for 1:48 minutes, Rosita came on the line. I explained my issue, and she went to put me on hold and disconnected me. I called back only to be disconnected a second time. I am after almost 2 1/2 hours waiting for a third call back in the time frame of 1 minute to an hour.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T around Christmas because a rep convinced me it would save me money. They took $250 upfront and told me not to worry about my last Verizon bill because AT&T would pay it. That was a lie. They never paid it, it hit my credit, and I eventually had to pay Verizon myself. On top of that, my bill has been $100 higher every single month than what I was promised when I signed up. When I finally got fed up and called, they told me the reason was because my autopay was set up with a credit card instead of a bank account — even though they set it up that way. I switched my autopay to my bank account like they said, and ever since then AT&T has been shutting my phone off every month, even though I am enrolled in autopay. They then charge me an extra $40 fee and tell me I have to pay manually because “autopay hasn’t kicked in yet.”
Every time I call, I wait 20+ minutes, and no one can ever fix anything permanently. It has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had, and after more than 25 years of having cell phones, I’ve never dealt with something this frustrating, inconsistent, or dishonest.

They repeatedly hung up on me, transferred me endlessly, and refused to remove two old iPad lines that hadn’t been active in years, yet I was still billed monthly and told I “couldn’t cancel or dispute” them.
At the T-Mobile store, the rep had us on speaker for over two hours while AT&T agents claimed they “couldn’t” release my numbers or process cancellation. The T-Mobile employee literally had to walk AT&T through their own procedures to force the port. Even after leaving, AT&T keeps billing me for devices and services no longer on the account.

My husband's phone works great with Spectrum, but I had constant issues with calls dropping, sketchy service, missing voice messages, and having to restart my phone to pick up data signals. I went to AT&T to get my old service back (on my son's plan).

There is no paperwork explaining all the extra charges...all this money to just be added onto an existing family account.

Once that was completed, I checked the emails I received on the order and it had my ordered device, however, it would not arrive until Monday (not this week as requested) and it was 256G (half the requested storage).

Forget this company and run to the competition! I had T-Mobile for 3 years and it was perfect, no billing mistakes, rebates were done promptly, service was a top notch.. We moved to ATT. And we now appreciate T-Mobile more than ever and can not wait to go back. After 7 months and we still have not got the rebates for one of the phones, and we called at least once a month just to get the same answer, "We are sorry and you will have it next month," that of course after 30-60 minutes of waiting.. Stay away from this company.

I purchased a phone from AT&T for $299. They reimbursed the $8.50 a month. After about 10 months I wanted to switch to T-Mobile. I paid the remaining balance. $217 and tried to switch. The phone is locked to AT&T network and they said there is nothing they can do to unlock it. Here is an email from them. "Five unsuccessful unlock attempts permanently locks the device to the AT&T network. Thank you for your business.

Upgraded my phone last summer with AT&T Next. Process went smooth, I received my new phone, sent the old phone back immediately and moved on with my life. Then five months later a charge appears on my bill for over $500 and AT&T tries to tell me I never sent the old phone back. I call AT&T and submit all the evidence (which thankfully I found photos in backup of the tracking label and the old confirmation email) that I sent the old phone back immediately. They opened a case and found that I am telling the truth and that the phone got lost in transit and it was no fault of mine, $500+ charge is removed from bill. Then a few weeks later the old phone shows up in my mailbox and I receive an email from AT&T telling me they can't accept the phone because I sent it in too late. At this point I'm starting to get very frustrated.
I call AT&T again. I speak to multiple customer service reps and are on the phone for hours. I explain the situation to them and they have no idea what I'm talking about and no record of the previous case that was found in my favor and they tell me they have to charge me the $500+ dollars on next bill. I submit all the evidence to them again that I did nothing wrong and the mistake is on them. They open case #2 and immediately close the case the next morning with no resolution. My wife calls AT&T again, and again they have no record of any of the previous cases or the situation at all and they tell me they have to charge me the $500+ dollars.
Yesterday my wife submits all the evidence for the third time and they open case #3. This morning they closed the case again with no resolution. This is absolutely ridiculous. I have had this cell phone plan with AT&T for 20 years and if they insist on charging me for their mistake, I will be walking away and abandoning the plan altogether. The AT&T customer service has gotten worse and worse and is to the point where it is completely worthless and extremely frustrating to deal with. The customer service reps barely speak English and work off a script and are absurdly incompetent and worthless. AT&T needs to get their shit together.

My experience with AT&T has been a total disappointment from day one. I originally called to report slow internet speeds, and during that call, an agent offered me a new phone line and device as part of a supposed promotion. At first, I agreed, but after clarifying some details, I decided to cancel everything before using the service.
The agent told me that the order had already been processed but assured me not to worry — that I just needed to return the phone once it arrived and everything would be canceled and refunded. I did exactly that: returned the device, paid the initial taxes, and waited for my account to be corrected. Weeks have passed, and the extra charges are still showing up. I’ve made multiple calls, each with long and frustrating wait times, and every time I have to explain the entire situation from scratch, even though I have a claim number. They told me the phone shows as returned, but it still doesn’t appear in their inventory, and that I need to contact the cancellation department myself to fix an error that was completely their fault.
When I switched my lines to AT&T, I was told it was the company with the fastest speeds and best coverage. While the coverage is good, the mobile internet is extremely slow, even in areas where it should work perfectly — I can’t even watch a video in my own home without connecting to Wi-Fi. AT&T shows a total lack of organization, poor communication between departments, and very weak customer service. I’ve lost time, money, and patience trying to fix something that should never have happened. I do not recommend AT&T to anyone. They promise quality, speed, and reliability, but all they deliver is frustration, slowness, and mistakes.

I had been an ATT customer for 20 years. They supplied cable phone and internet. As the last 5 years their customer service has gotten awful. When you call in you must wait for like 20 minutes to speak with someone that does not speak fluent English or has such an accent you can barely understand them. I first cancelled cable because they would no longer after fifteen years of loyal service, keep my rates low with promotional rates that they offer other customers. I just decided to go the internet route instead. My bill was still 195.00 a month with one cellphone and basic internet speed 100. Over the 2 years the internet was always broken down and would take a whole day to fix, they said it was an outage in the area, but it was always on a Sunday and Monday.
Over the last 6 months my pin was changed without my consent, my bill bundle was split which caused increased pricing which I also did not change, my modem went down and they told me the soonest appointment available for the repair would be 4 days away. I then received email that they were going charge me 150$ to come do the repair. I decided it was time to cancel everything with them. So I did. Well then the bills started coming, I had to turn off my auto debit so that they could not access bank cause obviously after all this, I didn't want them to have access to my bank account for trust and lack of security protocol like pin being changed and stuff. I was told many times over the last 2 years I was paying for my internet a month in advance and was told by an agent not to send them any money that there was probably over payments.
I then receive a a final notice bill for a split off cell phone bill from back in July that wasn't paid or withdrawn from my checking account from auto debit and remember I did not unbundle my bill. I paid on Sept 23, the day of cancellation 75.00 and today Nov 7 I was told that my internet was not being paid in advance and that the info I have been given over the last 2 years was incorrect. She said the 75.00 I paid on Sept 23 was final internet bill. Well if I was supposedly paying in advance, and also that was an increased internet bill due to them unbundling my service without my consent, that 75.00 should have been deducted from what I owed them. Moral of the story, do not trust ATT with your money or your services because they do not tell the truth and seem to be very unsecure and unreliable..

After over 10 years as a loyal customer, I’ve finally had enough of AT&T’s poor service and complete lack of respect for their customers’ time. I spent over an hour on the phone with customer service, only to be told they couldn’t access my account—meaning they couldn’t even approve my phone unlock request. After all that waiting, the representative suddenly claimed my phone “wasn’t paid off,” even though I had a letter and text message from AT&T congratulating me on paying it off in full.
Now, I have to waste more of my **personal time—time I don’t have because I work two jobs just to survive in New York—**by going into an AT&T store to prove what they already know. This company is disorganized, rude, and overpriced for the level of service they provide. AT&T should be compensating customers for the time they waste and the stress they cause.

In my attempt to reorder the offer for my iPhone 13 was only $700. I contacted AT&T again, and they said that since my order was canceled, it can no longer be honored, and the current offer to place a new order is $700.
AT&T did not care that I was not trying to cancel my order, I wanted to update the payment information since apparently it didn’t go through and what ended up happening is my entire order was canceled. This all took me 3 hours, and 4 different representatives and AT&T refused to honor my original order!

When I call their prepaid number it says it can't reset my PIN and hangs up... but I never asked for that.

DO NOT SWITCH WITH AT&T. I switch from Verizon To AT&T in July, 2025 and like any other trade in you have to turn in the phone which the agent who is helping you with the transfer writes down the EMEI the old phone is being switch with. The agent I did the paperwork told me to keep an eye on my email for the label. Two weeks went by and I never received it, because I was afraid to be billed for the new phones. I reach out to customer service for the trade in label and for a label to turn in a wrong order. A Galaxy S25+. The agent who helped me through the app said, "Put all 5 phones together in the box and shipped them to the tracking number I will provide to you." I did what he instructed me to do.
Once time went by my third invoice I was finally able to see what my actual bill was going to look like and I noticed the “INSTALLMENTS“ charges for each phone which I found odd and called the AT&T customer service and they said I will get a refund next bill, the following bill comes and I see the charges again with no credit from the last bill. I called and the agent said I don’t have trade in phones in my account which is why I’m being charged. I found it odd because I was not being charged for the Galaxy. I provide the tracking number to the agent and I just kept being transferred to the main menu and different department and even to the trade in department .They kept sending me to customer service. One of the agents finally open a claim number for me and gave a break for this installment for this month.
Not even 24 hours pass when I receive an email from AT&T stating the case was close and that the package was lost! I immediately called. I go back and forth with the agent and he said I have to call UPS and make a claim. UPS tells me I have to do everything through their website and I did but too much time went by. 60 days had already passed and I couldn’t proceed with the claim. I looked on my AT&T account through their app on my computer and I looked for the status on the Galaxy s25 and it showed has “STATUS RETURN COMPLETED” so they did receive the package.
They did scanned the box and whoever opened the box saw the rest of the four phone either kept them or like a good employee gave them back to their supervisor and is just sitting in their office and now I am stuck into a debt for the next five years with an estimate of $5,200 dollars for the new devices while they lost my 4 iPhones!!! Which was a total loss of 4,1000 dollars!!!
Till this day no one has helped me figured this out. They are a scammer and they want grabbed themselves from anything they can to not take accountability.

The cheapest prepaid plans online are just an eyewash and they don’t have any customer agent over phone or through chat for prepaid plans.

Went to the store with the order number and they can’t help without a phone number and I don’t have the phone number as I am new customer. When people are offering SIM card through a vending machines in airport, why on this world it takes a month to deliver an eSIM? Can’t the QR code be delivered using an email or can’t we get the eSIM based on the order number from a store?
Eventually the stores don’t offer those cheap plan and they ask you to cancel the online order and go for plan that the stores can sell, which is way expensive. It’s an indirect way of forcing customers to get a different costlier plan, by having longer lead time to deliver the eSIM or pSIM. If the store prepaid option can get the SIM within few minutes, why doesn’t it takes a month for a prepaid online? Looks like money laundering online by advertising a cheaper plan and delaying the service to force people to go for an alternative plan in-store. But while ordering they say SIM will be delivered within 1-2 business days. But you get an email saying that they are working order to deliver the SIM card after a month. Seems to be like a joke.

I have been a victim of a fraud case. A certain Mathew called me from AT&T and promised new phone and better rates. Phone lines were added to my account. I never received the phones. I filed three fraud reports with AT&T and never received a word of closure. This occurred in May 2025. Today is October 22, 2025 and the matter has not been resolved yet. The fraud department is a ghost at this point. I keep being promised to receive phone calls back or emails back from the fraud department at AT&T, but no one ever has contacted me. Fraud department deserves no star rating.

If I could give no stars, I would. This has been the absolute worst experience in the history of cell service. I had moved from Verizon to At&t with the hopes of saving some money. The quality was awful and I had to switch back to Verizon. I didn't just walk back to Verizon, I ran. The transition to move back was so time consuming and after going through various departments to get the phones returned and the bill cleared (I am talking weeks to get resolved) lo and behold I received a bill for more than a month's service.
When calling At&t, you get a bot to try to direct you to an appropriate department but you don't get there because it doesn't understand a thing. The whole thing is redundant, inefficient and you get absolutely nowhere. I am still dealing with a bill that I cannot talk to anyone about and being threatened via email to pay my bill or go to collections. I am beyond furious as I have been kind, patient, reasonable and have tried to work with these bots and people within my ability to do so ---- if you can get past the bot, you will have an enormous wait time and you might get someone to help you. Good luck...

Over 40 min to call customer service at 9pm Eastern. Agent picked up, said nothing and hung up. AT&T has fired so many agents to recover from it DTV and WB purchases that ran up debt. It impossible to get any support from them. Poor agents can't do anything because of process. It's really sad. Got rid of 1 of my 3 lines today, thank God and once I am off contract the rest will go to T-mobile. BTW called customer service to T-mobile and less than a min hold.

AT&T is an unethical company, and their customer service representatives lie. AT&T continued to charge my credit card for more than a year after cancelling my service. Yes, I should have notices sooner, but the total they charged me came to $1050.80. My first call to AT&T was on July 30, 2025. After taking nearly 20 minutes to get a rep on the phone, then speaking with him for about 40 minutes, he had to transfer me to a supervisor that had to ask me all the same questions. The supervisor finally confirmed I was owed the credit and tried to tell me they could only apply it future monthly bills. I said no way. After more discussion, the supervisor, Yumi was his name, agreed that the full $1050.80 would be reimbursed and would take approximately 5-10 days to be credited to my AMEX card. That never happened. Lies.
In the 10 calls I made to AT&T after the credit was not received by AmEx, I had to spend over 7 hours speaking with over a dozen customer service reps, trying to find anyone that would tell me the truth and do what they said they would do, and a lot of frustration. After my first 2 phones call, each lasting around 50 minutes, I found that the initial contact person was unable to help me and had to transfer me to a supervisor. The reps really fight to avoid transferring anyone to a supervisor, so you have to be forceful, while still trying to remain calm and polite, but it’s so frustrating. Even when speaking with customer service supervisors, they still lie and don’t follow up with what they say they will do and what will happen.
Once, after being on a call for approx. 50 minutes, the call disconnected, and it happened another time after more than 35 minutes. Even though they confirmed my phone number, no one ever called back. Getting disconnected from a call with a phone company speaks volumes about the quality of their products and customer service. It sucks. If and when I finally get my refunds, I will immediately switch my mobile phone, internet, and TV service, and cancel AT&T. I had to give AT&T one star, because a half star is not an option.

We changed our plan and we did the trade-in option, we would be paying for the phones for 3 months and then we should start seeing a credit. When the 4th bill arrived, the charges for the phone were still there. When I called customer service he said they had never received the phones. In researching this, the phones were still in the bag we had brought home. They did not keep the phones nor did they, if we were supposed to send them back ourselves, give us any instructions on how and where to send them. I have called customer service twice and have visited the store, all they will say it is after the 30 day window, there is nothing we can do. We have been with AT&T for a long time and for them not to work with us is very unsatisfactory. I will be moving my service and I will tell everyone I know that is on AT&T my story.

I signed up for a package with home internet and four wireless lines for my family. Because of the poor internet connection, I canceled after only three months.

I’m already paying $3,600 a year for my cell service, yet they refused to honor the original offer — even though the issue was caused by their app. They’re willing to lose a loyal customer who spends $3,600 a year rather than stand by their own system error.

Short of the long, we were not advised that our phones are incompatible and that if we didn't purchase compatible phones from AT&T, we would not receive the bundled promo. Instead, we were sent SIM cards and advised to follow steps for porting our phone numbers from Verizon to AT&T.
