    I bought an LG cell phone from an AT&T authorized dealer in July of 2015. A few days ago, my screen locked up and the battery wouldn't charge past 2%, and it kept overheating. Of course, as one might expect, it was past warranty, so LG wouldn't replace it, and AT&T would not make good on it despite the fact that they knew the phone was flawed. The sales agent told me that many of this particular model had come back with the same complaint. So here I am still owing $300 on a cell phone that doesn't work and the best AT&T would offer me was a $25 credit. I have only been with AT&T since I moved to VA in July of 2015. Before that, I was a Verizon customer for over 20 years and, in all that time, never had a single issue with the company. So you have to know it's bye-bye AT&T and your lousy customer service.

    Called this am to get internet service. They had to do a credit check before they could give me an accurate quote. Would have internet 24-48 hrs. Said without contract would be additional $10 a month. Also won't be till the 9th. Got an email. Said need more info to process. After the loooong wait and several calls later they said $100 to install. Try cancelling and finally got it cancelled. The lady said it was set up for the 11th. 24-48hr 9th-11th. Lucky me I didn't give my bank info for them to start drawing from my account. I started this process at 9:08 this am till after 12:30. I looked up the reviews while waiting on hold and realized this is a bad egg. First time I've ever dealt with AT&T and will be my last.

    Several years ago, I attempted to set up their internet service at my residence. They were never able to get the service to function, so the service was canceled in less than 10 days of it being installed. 1 year later, I start getting a collection calls from them for that service. After several phone calls, it is determined that I owe any money, and the issue is supposedly resolved.

    Fast forward to today, when I attempt to set up cellular service with them in attempt to package my DIRECTV and internet to save money, and they are trying to collect that money again. I have spent 5 hours on the phone, majority of that time on hold, just to find out that they will not provide service for me until I again resolve the previous issue. The irony is that they are unable to pull up any information in regards to the old account. This company's customer service is awful, they put you on hold for a ridiculous amount of time, only to disconnect you, and you have to start the process all over again with a different CSR. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T.

    Pretty frustrating and I feel cheated. We got the contract from AT&T store in 2014 and store associate sold us bogus phone. IMIE number was being used by another customer and payment was not made on it. 2016 when payment is already made in Nov 2016, I can't unlock phone. Calling customer service for 3 weeks to unlock phone, they just create CASE and escalate to Case Management Dept and resolution is "You have not completed all the payments for your device according to your AT&T Next service agreement." They have created 4 cases and today I got the same above reply. We are traveling overseas and will have to borrow phone from relative because Customer Service said they can't do anything except creating another (5th) case. AT&T is not taking any responsibility for their Fault and saying that I have to wait and they can't help more than that which I have already done for 3 weeks now.

    AT&T located in Hiram GA is one of many AT&T locations that fail miserably in providing quality customer service! I went to the Hiram office to resolve several residential issues and was "greeted" by a representative that did not smile, introduce himself, have an ID badge and had an attitude of "great, I have to deal with a customer". I could tell this was not going to go well and only reinforce my desire to sever ties from AT&T. My frustration from being overcharged for services not rendered, too complicated billing statements, unexplained charges, poor marketing behaviors and generally out of touch with their customers has caused me to pursue other service providers. AT&T is too BIG, too bureaucratic, too out of touch with their customers and maintains an customer service attitude that insults the very customers that helped build their company.

    We have been with AT&T for over 10 years. All my bills are auto paid by credit cards. Bill statement is e-statement. Recently we moved to other cellphone company. I could not logged into my previous AT&T account to check my final bill because my account was closed. So I called requesting the paper statement. They sent me bill statement to charge me for sending me my final bill. I called them and I had so hard time to get it credited back to me. Also they precharge me the service and I requested to credit the period which I stopped the service. I talked to the customer service, they told me they could not do it. I asked to talk to manager, she said manager would call me back, which never happened.

    Then I called back again, transferred me to SO CALLED RIGHT DEPARTMENT, talked to different people including the manager. They were so rude and they said, "You were not our customers anymore, why we should credit the money back to you." Their talks were so awful and they really do not care whether they keep the customers or not as they got paid by hours, not by customers' satisfactions. Those customers will put AT&T to the end of business soon. I will never go back to AT&T anymore due to the fact they charge your money after you stop service already. If you happen to be their customers, please do not have e-statement and check your every single bill statement carefully.

    I was with AT&T since 1993 and have never had any real issues. I believe in being loyal to a company. However, they don't feel the same way. I recently moved but wanted to keep my number and also added a second account to my billing. We were having terrible service and issues with AT&T. I called numerous time and they just wanted me to buy new equipment, gave me excuse after excuse. Finally, on my last attempt, I was told that maybe I should just go to another service. I took their advice and went to Verizon. Now I am in collections for a bill that I don't think I should be responsible for since I spent hundreds of dollars and never received service. I tried to settle the account, but they don't want that and now have sent me to collections. I am very disappointed with them and will advise any person who wants to go to AT&T not to! I believe in being loyal to people and customers, but apparently, they don't.

    I have contacted AT&T over 10 times over the last couple months. AT&T has continued to bill me for international calls that I make through the third party. Instead of improving their internet connection, they overcharge each month and each month they have a reason why. For 2 line I always have to pay about $300. Unbelievable! When I suspended one line I had to pay $210 instead of $120. They will charge you extra $40 for the reactivation. However, over the phone they confirmed that I won't see any charges on my bill. But no. Months to months there are additional charges.

    I have tried to speak with someone and after holding for 50 plus minutes someone picks up and says, “There is no credit on your account, and you was charged additional $40 for nonpayment." After chatting with 3 different people they were just leaving the chat without letting you know anything, no resolving the issue. I swear this is the worst company and worst customer service.

    I signed up for auto refill last month and was told that my payment would be taken out of my account on the 29th of the month but instead it came out 2 days early. This overdrew my bank account because I had not been paid yet and even though my bank covered the charge I have to pay an overdraft fee. When I called their customer service department and asked about it they were very rude and even the supervisor. Just kept repeating that they take the money out a day before it's due. I told them "that's not what your representative told me when I signed up." I asked if there was anything they could do for me because they just cost me double the amount of my bill because of this. They said NO.

    I told them remove me from auto refill and I will be getting a new phone company. I have told them numerous times before I don't get internet half the time or phone service anyway even though I live in the middle of a city. They were rude and don't care about the customers, just their money. I would never recommend them to anyone!! I have had nothing but bad luck since I switched to AT&T and wish I never would have. This will be the last month I ever have their service. There are too many other companies to be treated like crap by them.

    I sent a payment to AT&T for a current account. They placed the payment on a new account that they created. I asked that they place the payment on my current account. They would not. I asked for a refund and to this day have not received the refund. Instead, I cancelled the account because I was told that I could cancel within 6 months allotted. This was not honored. AT&T is currently trying to assess a fee for cancelling the account plus has not return my refund. They continually promised services for a certain price and refused to honor the price.

    Instead every month I would have to call and request that they honor what I was told over the telephone. AT&T made it abundantly clear that they do not have to honor what they promise. You as a customer have no recourse because nothing is written. They do not want you to record the conversation. They refuse to provide the recorded conversation. A bad deal all the way around. No paperwork leads to abuse by AT&T.

    I was a customer of AT&T for over 10 years. I went to the cellphone store to replace my flip phone that cracked. I told the Service Rep that I was retired and did not want the expense of a smartphone nor was I interested in them. I just wanted to replace my flip phone. I was only paying $36.00/mo. for the service. After talking back and forth he talked me into a promotion they were having on the S7 Smartphone which came with a free tablet and 3 years free home security service. I told him I didn't care to have either. He said "why not, it's Free!" I was told I had 14 days to change my mind. I also bought accessories to go with it. Glass, cover etc.

    After I got home and tried it for 2 days, I HATED it. I then realized that this free tablet was going to cost me $10.00/mo. service fee and the home security was going to cost me $32.00/mo. Then the monthly cost of the service for the phone. That's over $100.00!!! I was only paying $36.00! I got so upset I went back to the store to return the phone at which time they told me I wouldn't get my old rate back once I turned it in for the Smartphone. I would now have to pay $69.00/mo. I wasn't getting my money back for the accessories and there was a restocking fee. I was out $100.00!!! I told him when I came here I told him my situation being retired and he laughed! I am looking to decrease my expenses not increase them. I told him to cancel my account with AT&T completely. He said "REALLY? After you've been with us for so long you're going to cancel because of this?" THAT made me even more irritated!

    He did NOT have MY interests at heart. He had HIS commission at heart and took advantage a Senior Citizen for his own benefit. He actually laughed! I couldn't wait to get out of there. I went to Verizon and told them the situation. They got me my flip phone and I'm now only paying $31.00/mo. LESS than I WAS paying with AT&T! AT&T are crooks who don't care for their customer's well being. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!

    We are disappointed by salesman who promoted a new phone if we switched. After receiving 2 billings which were adding the cost of the new phone, we began making phone calls to AT&T Customer service and stopping at the store to talk with the representatives. Dave, our salesman, assured us that it would be on the 3rd month an adjustment would appear. We have now received our 5th bill.

    AT&T says that there was no promotion so we need to address the issue to the local store whom we made the deal. The local store salesman avoids looking at me directly and replies that he does not remember anything concerning our switch, even though we have chatted with him on various occasions since. The local manager says that they can not pull up any sales promotion as far back as September. He then quotes, we had to become customers of DirecTV to have received any promotion. At this time I will be pursuing the issue to the Attorney General of Ohio.

    Back in June 22nd my daughter in law walked into a retail Store in Villa Rica, GA. They con her into all this stuff they can offer her and promise her bill will be a lot cheaper than Verizon. Well I was out of state in Florida and she called me about all the deals and we would save over $100.00 a month. Told her I would be back in a couple of days. She went back to store and trade their phones and would get 15 percent off using my business. They would buy our phones to pay off Verizon. Guess what? That’s a lie. Verizon hasn't been paid and I have been fighting with AT&T for 5 months. They stole our phones and I have the proper documentation they have it but this company they use is a cheating company to help AT&T to rip people off. Also my bill hasn't been right from day one. Charging us for 10 phone lines don't have. Customers service blame the store and the store blames customers services.

    Now the kicker is the General manager contacts you and tells you they are sorry this could happen and will handle it. Fax everything that's they ask for that was over 25 Pages to them. Guess what? Now it's been two weeks and still nothing from no one. They could care less or they would fire all the dumb people that work there that can't take care of their customers. I bet if this happen to them, that could really understand. Well it's time I get a lawyer and go to the news channels with all the names I have. Every time I begged them to fix this and no one has done. I'm going after jobs and for mental stress that this company has done to me. How can you AT&T do this and steal from your customers. You also stole Verizon phones because they are 10 times the Company you will ever be.

    It's time to expose them for fraud or wrongful advertisement that they can't back up. The CEO will find out after my Law suit and all the names that would not help fix this problem that should not had ever happen. I will be seeing you soon in court and exposing them for the misleading and fraud for stealing and lying to get business from other cell phone companies. Please everyone don't believe anything they promise you. It's all a lie... Don't sign no contract with them. AT&T is the worst I have ever had. I pray to God everyday for an answer that how can a company steal, cheap and lie from their customers just to get new business.

    I switched from Verizon to AT&T the beginning of August. I was told that they would buy out my Verizon contract. I have 2 lines on my account. We did the bogo on the phones, and AT&T took my Verizon phones per the trade-in agreement. The company I work for has an agreement with AT&T for 20% off, so they took a copy of my pay stub. My total bill would be $156 and change. Just a few dollars more than Verizon.

    We were told by the associate in the Rockingham Mall in Salem NH that we had X amount in a store credit when it was all said and done. I said I would come back at another time to use it, but was told it had to be done then, or we would lose the credit. We picked up cases (very slim pickings) and what not, walked out of the store being told that I would receive a debit card for the amount owed Verizon. I kept asking the associate if the Verizon bill would be paid, he kept telling me yes, this was the money over and above, because AT&T was giving me $650 to switch.

    Fast forward to my first bill... $273. I called in a panic. They manually fixed it and assured me that everything was taken care of. Every month since, it has been $210. Every month I have to call to get it fixed, but it takes at least an hour on the phone. They still have not applied the discount, and they bill you for the free phone, then credit after the bill is mailed, so your bill is never correct. You can call or go online to see your actual charges. So now my bill is 170 a month vs the 156 I was told.

    I mentioned in my last call about the charges that I still have not received the debit card for Verizon. A lady called me back last night to tell me that the money that was to pay Verizon was what we bought at the store. I was not getting a credit from them. She us very sorry, and will speak to the GM, but nothing can be done because I spent the money. I explained to her that we were told we had to use the money then, that we were told it was a store credit AFTER Verizon was paid but again, nothing could be done. Because I believed what AT&T told me, I now am paying both Verizon and AT&T bills. When I suggested that AT&T own up to their word, I was told, "I am sorry, there is nothing we can do."

    I am still waiting for my employee discount to be applied. For 4 months I have been told it has been fixed. My bill is higher than agreed, and I still have to pay my Verizon bill. I can't wait to get away from AT&T. They will flat out lie to get you to switch, then tell you there is nothing that can be done later. Crappy Customer Service at its best.

They tacked on 5 activation fees that I was told would be waived, when I called they were rude and refused to waive them. It was 20 each for 2 lines and 45 each for 2 watches. I watched the guy at the store activate it in a tenth of a second what costs 45 dollars there.

    One phone is suppose to be free. Not only are they charging me for it they are charging me for a 3rd phone I didn't even buy. And every line had multiple other hidden fees. Each watch's service is suppose to only be 10 dollars a month, the hidden fees are more than the service, they are 14 each so it's 25 a month instead of the 10 promised. On top of all this they pushed me into DIRECTV. There are over 100 of my shows that I can't watch or record. They made tons of promises and didn't live up to any of them.

I was informed that I would have to pay for a mobile share service on my tablet from 11/28 - 12/27, that it would be $99, that it was in the terms and conditions that I signed upon starting service that I agreed to be responsible for service one month ahead. Now, they had no problem having a flexible billing cycle to prorate themselves a charge to make my tablet the "main line" in my MOBILE SHARE package, but apparently their billing would never work in favor of a customer to prorate an unused amount of service if it's a few hours after their billing cycle starts.

    I found it completely disappointing to find out that our monthly bill is actually going to be higher than what we paid Verizon. We were told that we would save $, but instead are going to pay more. In addition, we did NOT get clear explanation about the part where they pay up to $650 per phone (to be used as a credit on yr bill) "and" pay other carrier termination fees. Guess what, we owe Verizon over $700 "and" are now paying about $50+ MORE per month with AT&T. What kind of savings is that? We would have never switched if that were the case!! Unacceptable, deceiving lies!!!

    They were going to launch an "investigation" to look into what the sales guy told us because he said we would easily pay less per month. Haven't heard back yet & it's been 2 weeks. We can't even go back to Verizon because we would owe them the $1500 in termination fees (4 lines) since we no longer have the original phones we had to turn in to AT&T. AT&T - you are deceitful & not even willing to make things right. No customer service satisfaction at all!

They showed me how I would cut my bill in half and send just one bill. $431 later we got no Directv because they could not figure out how to install a line of sight at our house, 12 MB internet services from Windstream plugged into our phone jack, and a renege on our unlimited data... They promised a 200 gift card, an iPhone 7, and a free tablet.

    We had cell phone quality issues in the 4 days I used their services... Think I live in Alaska? Nope Ohio... An AT&T stronghold. We returned to Verizon and Spectrum as soon as humanly possible...

    Let me start off with saying that your customer representative, Vinisha, is the only reason I am giving AT&T any star at all. She was so very helpful and caring, knew what she was talking about, didn't ramble on about nonsense and took my personal circumstances into consideration while searching for the best deal for me. I felt like I was being taken care of the way customers should be. A few days prior, I had called to get the same information and had to deal with the worst customer rep I have ever dealt with. I unfortunately do not remember her name to suggest she be fired immediately (and I NEVER say that about people and their work). She right off the bat was rude, didn't listen to a word I said, and didn't take any of my interests into consideration. She would go off on long tangents about god only knows what and wouldn't let me speak.

    When I told her that I would have to think about the price (as $40 a month for JUST internet is absolutely ridiculous) she responded with "What, do you think you'll be able to find anyone else with a cheaper rate? Because you won't" That is NOT a selling tactic. So with that I again said "I will think about it and give you a call back." Her last response "Well IF you do call us back, nobody else will be able to give you the rate that I offered." THEN HUNG UP ON ME. I feel like a terrible person for giving my hard earned money to this company if that is how they train their employees to sell. But unfortunately I am unable to get any other service due to the area that I am located.

    Service is pretty reliable for the most part, but they make changes (like throttling data) without notice. Customer service is polite, but we had a mistake recently where my daughter turned off WiFi on Dad's phone, and although the data usage was way over what our normal is, they refused/didn't have authority to allow any concessions. Overall, AT&T is better than other carriers I've had in the past - the app is easy to use, the bill is easy to read, and the service is fairly reliable but seems to slow down or drop calls when I need it most. The pricing for the plan we're on is acceptable, but I hate their Next plan for an "upgrade" - either pay monthly installments, or pay for a new phone in full. I've had worse experiences with other carriers in the past though, so I'm more afraid of the devil I don't know than the one I do.

How much of a subsidy is Verizon receiving to be the only cell phone company to work in my area and how much does AT&T receive to use their outdated, unreliable equipment? Dial up internet through AT&T is just not acceptable in the USA anymore and the rates for a home phone are too high. There is a reason why the area I live in is economically disadvantaged, the lack of information and poor communication.

To turn off service is impossible (I've asked to have a cell turned off for months that is still on).

    I have never done a review like this. I never thought that I would need to. I am at such a loss with AT&T right now that I have no other choice. AT&T continues to debit my account months after I canceled my service. All I have had thus far are false promises and terrible communication. I ordered my UVERSE service at the end of September of this year (2016). I just moved into my first apartment! I was excited and this was all very new to me.

    I decided to try out UVERSE for the first time. Several people I spoke with over the phone let me know that I have a 30 day trial period with the internet service. Great! I can now figure out if I am home enough to use it and see if it is the best service for me. After about a week or two of not being home and not using the service whatsoever, I decided to cancel. Also, financially, I was not in the best place for additional services. I cancelled on 10/05/2016.

    I already paid my first bill on 09/28/2016: Show additional information for activity type other payment -84.67 AT&T, DES: Payment ID: **, INDN: CO ID: ** PPD, activity type: other payment, status type: icon Cleared. Select to mark activity type other payment -84.67 AT&T, DES: Payment ID: **, INDN: CO ID: ** PPD as Reconciled -84.67.

    As you see above, in the amount of $84.67. I paid this immediately after I received my service (big mistake) and enrolled in Autopay (even bigger mistake). When I called to cancel, an agent told me I will be getting my first payment of 84.67 refunded to me in a check within 4-6 weeks. Good. Just as I was promised when I first decided to try UVERSE! I should have never enrolled in Autopay or paid my first bill so quickly because that is why we are here today.

    A month or two goes by and I have not received any sort of refund. Okay, things can take time. I am very understanding of that. I called again. Another customer service agent let me know that sometimes it can actually take a few months to get the refund. Okay. Miscommunication, but whatever. It happens. A few weeks go by and still no refund. Now here is the kicker. On 11/14/2016, I see this charge on my bank account:

    11/14/2016: Show additional information for activity type other payment -41.00 AT&T, DES: Payment ID: **, INDN: CO ID: ** PPD, activity type: other payment, status type: icon Cleared. Select to mark activity type other payment -41.00 AT&T, DES: Payment ID: **, INDN: CO ID: ** PPD as Reconciled -41.00. As you can see, $41.00 was taken from my account. What? I cancelled my service months ago! How do they still have my bank info? Why have I received no refund but am continuing to be billed? I call in and speak with a few individuals via phone and chat (I have the records). They apologized. They let me know that I would receive a separate check with the refund of the amount that was processed months after I cancelled my account and a refund of the first bill I paid. Okay. I'm patient. I can wait.

    Now here we are, December 4th. I have now been charged $125.67 for a service that I never used and cancelled within the promised time frame. Way before the time frame was over! I have received no refund and have had terrible customer service, with few exceptions. This money that I would love to use for Christmas presents... but it has been taken from me.

    I urge anybody who wants to use UVERSE to not enroll in Autopay and make sure that you record who you are talking to, when and what they say. Read between the lines. While the amount of money I am owed is little, it is the principle behind the matter. We are all struggling financially in our own ways. I wanted to go back to AT&T when I was ready but now I have such a bad taste in my mouth from the company and the customer service I will forever urge people to stay far, far away from this company.

    First, let me give some credence to myself. I was Att's 2nd largest customer in the western US from 1996-2001. I would be invited to the att pro am in pebble beach and would be hosted by Mike Armstrong, then chairman & CEO. However, I had been dealing with them since 1989. I know this company. Don't care a bit if you believe me or not. I just want to expose them, and hopefully, save other potential customers from the pain, and fraud att will inflict. Just want to establish my creds first. In the 10 years that I dealt with them, (including being their 2nd largest customer in the West Coast for 5 years) I found them to be one of the most incompetent companies I had ever dealt with. I'm talking about complete and thorough stupidity from lower level management to the senior VP level. It was amazing. It was one of those cases where incompetence truly rose to the top.

    When I sold my company in 2001, one of the greatest satisfactions was not having to deal with the stupidity of att anymore. Now, you might ask yourself, why did I keep dealing with them? Simple. The fact that they were so stupid allowed me to take advantage of that stupidity, and negotiate the best per minute rate in the US. So good that they made me sign confidentiality agreements so as their other customers wouldn't find out. Now, let's jump to the future. I have a friend that is in a position to get me a great deal on Apple products. So, I've been taking advantage of that for a number of years. Problem is that they come locked up with Att. I'm also on the board of Time Warner Cable's most profitable cable subsidiary. Our subsidiary prides itself on excellent service, product, and the best technology available. We are truly proud of the service we provide to our customers.

    I'm long winded. I know. I'm now going to wrap this up and get to the point. I have 4 iPads. Unfortunately, 3 of them came locked with Att. One of them apparently ran out of data. Don't know how that happened, as I signed up for automatic renewal, and gave them my Amex Centurion #. So, I went on my iPad settings, and got to the button that says add more data. Three hours later, after dealing with the most stupid, incompetent, uncaring, rude people... I still was not able to add data. My concern is this: att is about to acquire Time Warner Cable. The best cable company in the Nation. I just realized that after all these years, Att has not only not changed, but may have gotten much worse. This merger must only be about increasing share price. There is absolutely no synergy involved. No thought improving service. ATT has not changed a bit in 16 years. Now they want to bring their brand to Time Warner Cable customers. I SAY NO!!

I called and spoke to multiple people about a deposit that I was charged that should have NOT be on my bill. According to the sales rep I spoke to in Oct when starting my service I did not have to pay a deposit because I have my OWN PHONE!! He did however offered me a table which carried a 445.00 deposit which I declined. I received the SIMS cards and went to the store so that a rep can complete the activation. After the hour long activation everything was fine until I was told by my employer that AT&T offer discounts to our employees.

    I went to a AT&T store to get assistance with ONLY applying the to my ALREADY contract that I had already for several weeks. During that visit the rep at the store again tried offering me the table once again and again a 445.00 deposit was required. I again declined. I did however agreed to start internet service with them. Anyway I received my first bill from AT&T and notice that I was being charged 445.00 for a deposit. I called and called about this deposit and no one seems to have a clue what's going on. I was even told by manager Christoff that I needed to pay this deposit and couldn't tell me what the deposit was for. I called relentlessly to get this issue resolved and NO ONE seems to know what anyone is doing there. They don't add notes and I had to repeat this same story over and over and OVER again.

    I then went to the ordering team and had the nice guy look over my entire order and he also stated that I DID NOT need to put a deposit down! Per this rep he submitted a credit waiver that he stated was approved by his boss. I had my bill push out until the 11th of Dec so that the credit had time to be applied and guess what? STILL NO CREDIT and STILL NO ONE has any IDEA of what is going on. THERE WAS NO NOTES of me calling them and NO NOTES showing a credit waiver was sent on my behalf.

    After ordering a package from AT&T including voice, internet, and TV, the rep was most anxious to include a free (I had to pay the tax) AT&T Trek 2HD wireless phone. He said it was for new accounts. I was going to be a new account. Trouble is, he never mentioned the Trek was for new wireless service, under a 2 year contract with activation fee, new wireless number, etc. Never came up. Only after the call did I receive a confirmation email for this new service. No matter that I have another year left on my Verizon wireless contract.

    We have AT&T fiber optic cable in our neighborhood so the offer sounded appealing for the bundle not including wireless. In conversations over several days this week I talked to 4 Hispanics with very heavy accents. Each one I talked to was very difficult to understand. They said their office was in southern California. I have no issue with dealing with Hispanics but I would think AT&T would want to put a better face on a customers initial interaction with their customer service. Very sneaky. The inbound number for this center is 855-632-8207. I have cancelled the installation for this Monday Dec 5. I would not be surprised to see an installer show up anyway. If you are think about switching to AT&T, I would think twice.

    I upgraded my phone to I-7. I wanted to unlock my old one to give it to my nephew. After calling and dealing with people that were doing nothing but trying to sell me more service like U-verse and stuff like that, they could not unlock my old phone. I don't know why. No reason given. I been a loyal customer since 1993, pay my bills on time, and they can't even let me unlock an old phones so it can be use with another company. Sad, and they want me to buy more service from them? Give me a break.

    CONSUMERS BEWARE! Bundling was a bad idea as a DirecTV AT&T customer that I get my internet from AT&T and tv service from DirecTV. Pay my bills on time but this month my service got disconnected and reactivated twice due to error of combined billing service. AT&T customer service connects to DirecTV. DirecTV connects to AT&T and the phone somehow ends up dropping. After 14 phone calls later to customer service and 5 days of tv outage I finally have tv service but still get billed and even with extra fees billed for this month for reactivating account when I never requested a disconnect. If I was not stuck with DirecTV for two years I would cancel it right now. It's time for upper level management to figure out how to put 2 and 2 together before wasting its customers' time, money and causing such frustration and annoyance. What an inconvenience!

    Very reliable service. Decent selection of equipment. But tends to be fairly expensive with little effort to find or offer existing customers more competitive or reduced prices. Waits in stores tends to be fairly long during normally busy times (after work and evenings) but delivery times in phones ordered online are fantastic.

    When it comes to Uverse, I absolutely know they need to fine tune their methods of returning equipment and their raising the rates. I love Uverse, consider it the best... however, after having it for a while the rates were raised too high and I went elsewhere. Returned their equipment and received notices, collection calls and a bad report on my credit from them because they said it wasn't received. And furthermore cost me an additional $130.00 to settle. Now fast forward to today and I once again have Uverse at a decent rate. Go figure. They could save time and expense by just keeping the rates reasonable and provide some type of tracking for returning their equipment.

    I am so stressed out and done with AT&T Wireless. I spent two days to make payment arrangements to pay a PAA due of 137.70. On Oct. 10, 2016 I paid 202.00 then two weeks later I got another bill for 137.70 to be paid by Nov. 1 but Oct. 28 was considered the first. Because Oct 1, I paid 207.00 then after getting many calls for the 137 I asked for an arrangement to pay Dec. 3 but was told I could only get to Nov. 30 because their computer would not let them go to the 3rd. So today they suspended my service for 137.00 and the new bill came out making it a total of 299.00.

    Upset I used another phone to ask them to stop harassing me every 39 mins and told them to cancel the rest of my contact because as of Friday I will be adding them to my bankruptcy because of all their hidden fees and prorating. I advise buyer beware because they also has DIRECTV and will try to bundled both without your knowledge. To hell with AT&T ripoff kingdom. Your bill starts at 99.00 a month and before you know it, it's 200 to 400 every 15 days not 30. Customer service know that their jobs are in the trash if they try to help you. So they do their job to get bigger bonuses. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T if you value your credit and money.

    I have been a customer with AT&T since they were Southwester Bell (almost 25 years). Today's business is strictly about QUANTITY not QUALITY. I called a Houston store (Spring, Texas) 11/25/16 and a young lady by the name of Jackie answered the phone. I asked Jackie if AT&T had any Black Friday deals on IPads. Jackie said to me, "Yes we do, please come in and see me." I asked Jackie what was the special on the IPads. Jackie went on to explain to me they indeed had a special on the IPads for $49.99 and the data plan would be $10 per month. I asked her to please repeat herself because it sounded to good to be true.

    Jackie said, "No ma'am, there are no hidden fees or anything, the IPad is $49.99 and data is $10 per month, we've had a lot of customers to call and they thought the same thing but it is indeed $49.99, nothing else to it. You can come in and ask for me or Brian. We are both assistant managers and either of us can help you". I told Jackie, "Okay, I am 15 minutes away. I will be there shortly." I made it to the store in 15 minutes as promised. I walked in the door and asked for the wrong person but a sales rep corrected me. Sales rep said he will get Jackie for me. Jackie approached me, introduced herself and thanked me for coming in the store on that day. Jackie explained to me that she was with another customer at the moment and would have someone else to help me if it was okay with me. I told Jackie that would be fine. I forgot the sales rep name that agreed to help me (very nice gentleman). I told him why I wanted the device etc.

    The rep asked for my drivers license as well as my pass code to get into my account and we carried on. The rep then asked me how long had I had my IPhone. I asked him what IPhone. The rep said "well in order for you to get the IPad at the promotion you would have had to upgrade to an IPhone." I told her no one explained that me and there must be a mistake. Rep said, "No, that is the promotion." I told him to please contact Jackie because that was never explained to me. Rep said he needed to speak with management and come back to me. I waited at this point (a total of about 25 mins) being in the store total.

    A gentleman by the name of "Edward **" approached me and said he was the manager and he is not sure why Jackie told me that but I need to purchase a phone in order for me to get the promotion. I told Edward "no". Jackie did not tell me that and I wanted to talk to her. Edward told me Jackie was gone on break, he would speak with her but that is incorrect and there is NOTHING he could do for me. Then Edward went on to tell me he HEARD JACKIE ON THE PHONE telling me about the IPad. He said he heard our whole conversation. I asked him WHY didn't he stop her if she was giving me incorrect information. Edward said, "Well it wasn't quite incorrect, she just left out some parts". Again I said to him, "WHY DIDN'T YOU CORRECT HER"? He said, "Well, I don't know." UNACCEPTABLE!

    I asked him for customer service telephone#. He wrote it down on a card as well as his name and I left the store VERY UPSET. I called customer service immediately. I asked for a manager b/c I didn't want to repeat myself. The gentleman on the phone sounded very concerned. At this point I was beyond hurt and began to cry. The gentleman said he wanted to help me. He placed me on hold and came back to the phone and offered me some other name brand tablet. I told him, "No, that is not what I was looking for." I wanted what I went to the store with on my mind. I told him I wasn't going to make any drastic decisions while I was so upset. The rep agreed said he would notate my account just in case I change my mind everything would be in the system.

    I went to the Woodlands store location and expressed my concerns and disappointment to a rep (Justin) at that location. I asked Justin to please look into my account that the customer service rep put in my account. Justin searched and searched and said he did not see any notes. I told him, "This is a joke!" He must be kidding. Justin told me to look for myself "nothing" there. I called customer service and spoke and asked the rep (Latorious **) to please review my account that a previous rep notated in my account. Latorious told me there weren't any notes.

    I told Latorious what all I been through in a day's time with AT&T. Latorious spoke with her supervisor and the supervisor agreed to honor the offer. Latorious and I stayed on the phone another 15-20 mins just to verify my information, take my payment of $54.11 and confirm my mailing address etc. Latorious told me she was going to expedite my shipping and my IPad should be to me on Mon, no later than Tuesday. I called AT&T once my IPad did not make it on Monday just to f/u. The rep said she found my order (ORDER# **) and the due date is 11.29.2016. The rep also sent me the confirmation text to my cell phone. I made it home yesterday evening with anticipation of receiving my package (STILL NOT IPAD).

    I called AT&T, and stayed on the phone with a rep for 1hr constantly being placed back and forth on hold (he was looking my order up with a manager to see what happened). The gentleman said, "I see where one system said you accepted the terms and agreements and another system said, you did not." I told him, "Yes indeed I did accept the terms and conditions." The gentleman asked if he could place me on hold to speak with SOMEONE ELSE! I told him this was wayyy too much to deal with. He said, "I understand but this next rep is who you need to speak with to help you." I was placed on hold AGAIN! The next rep came to the phone. I had to re-verify my pass code and give her my info. The rep (Rachel) in California was NOT PLEASANT AT ALL. Told me my she will be shipping my order out tomorrow (Wednesday 11.30.16). I told Rachel she is kidding me!!!

    Rachel said, "I am trying to fix the problem for you ma'am, this is all that I can do at this point!" No rhyme or reason as to why my IPad was not shipped. I asked her why couldn't I go into a store for all of the inconvenience and get an IPad. She said because the store and customer service are different. But it was really funny. The STORE took my money for a payment with no problems! My total time on the phone with Rachel and the other rep (1hr 7 mins and 43 seconds) AND STILL NO IPAD!!! This is not including the time wasted initially in the Spring location store, nor on the phone with rep, and his notes went who knows where.

    This is the quality of service that AT&T gives their customers. REALLY? I called the Spring location again to speak with Edward (mgr) and was told he is not in and he will no longer be the manager there. The new manager will be John **. That still does not fix my problem. The IPad was a gift for my boyfriend who's birthday was on Sunday, Nov. 27th. I gave him NOTHING because I had high expectations on giving him the IPad I thought I was going to purchase on Saturday. Reading all of the complaints on AT&T I see this is the "norm" for you all! I am so disappointed with AT&T and their services. BEYOND WORDS DISAPPOINTED!

    I have been a loyal AT&T customer since they were Bell South. I have had home phone service with them since the 80's and wireless from day one. I also have/had combined billing and now that I want to do an early upgrade on the AT&T Next program, combined billing is the reason that it cannot be done. First I called customer service. After being left on hold eternally, I call back and I am told that due to my combined billing I would need to go into the store for the upgrade. I went to the store; I am told that only customer service can process the upgrade due to combined billing. I let the in store rep know what I was told and he calls customer service and while on hold (yes they put their fellow coworker on hold) he discovered that I have both unified and combined billing. After wasting 2 hours of my workday at the store, the rep tells me that I need to call customer service again and have the bill uncombined.

    All this, just to utilize the advertised feature of Next, which is the option to pay to upgrade. 2 days later still not able to upgrade due to combined billing and with each rep that I speak with I get different information. One stated that she could process the order once the balance, although not past due yet, is paid. The next one told me to call back Friday because he cannot do anything. I have had my Samsung S7 Edge since July and simply want to go back to the iPhone and I am being treated like a criminal as if I will not pay for it. This is absurd and if this is how loyal customers are treated, I am no longer interested in being one.

I then began to receive bill that I owed for unreturned equipment. I went into UPS for a duplicate receipt because I had misplaced the original one. I was told that AT&T have their own system within the UPS system which AT&T updated recently and UPS can no longer view past transactions after the end of business day, that AT&T clears their system internally from their end daily.

    She even turned her monitor to allow me to view, she put my account # into the AT&T screen of UPS and it came up blank as if I never returned any merchandise. She said AT&T should be able however to access it from their end, since they took this capability from UPS. Well AT&T gave me the runaround of being on the phone explaining over and over each time I called. They did an "escalation" which came back with nothing. So between AT&T and the company that they are contracted with for return equipment and that I am forced to leave the equipment with, it just disappeared.

    This has scam written all over it. Well yesterday 11/29/2016 I get a call from a collection company on behalf of AT&T for $500+. Guess what AT&T and whomever is reading, I found my receipt???

By the time I got a new charger and that was not the problem my warranty was up and they told me there was nothing they could do about it. I gave up my $600 phone and the refurbished phone they sent me ended up not being a refurbished phone. It's missing all 4 of the screws that hold it together and full of metal shavings and it goes on high. Awesome. Who did the refurbishing? They said they don't know. They have their own vendors and they don't know who did it and then they told me on another day that HTC does it. I am can not believe what they are doing. I believe that that are coming fraud.

    The second to the last phone call I made to AT&T I got HTC to call up to get my history of the exchange I did 'cause they wouldn't give the information to me to give to HTC. We have to do a three way phone conversation and they were being very helpful until HTC got off the phone. Then they offered to sell me a new phone and I told them that I could not afford it. Then she said that you can talk to her supervisor to get this resolved today without me paying. She said she call back in two hours and never called back. I called them and probably told that there was nothing they could do for me except for me to buy a new phone. In one of the many earlier conversations I had with them I was told as soon as I touched on them screws and open that phone up to fix it myself that everything was out of their hands.

    I had no choice but to open it up and fix it myself and when I noticed that the 4 screws that hold the phone together weren't even there I couldn't believe it and the fine metal shavings that were stuck all over speakers and I don't work in metal and I have a case for the phone so everything in that phone was there before I got it. 30 tons of lint stuck up inside the charging port, the wire that snap on for the antenna would not even Snaps on. In one of my many conversations lady said as soon as I touched One screwed on that phone there was nothing they could do for me. I told her that I did not touch any screws if they are missing and they still are. My 93 year old mom helped me get this phone.

    I have caught AT&T in a lie and they will not help me. You would think that they want to know who refurbished this phone or didn't. In the beginning I was just trying to get 4 screws for my phone to make it a whole phone. They wouldn't help me. I was not given a refurbished phone. That's what I was promised. I made a comment on their website about what I've been going through and they took my picture down, change my name, and Gmail address. I was told it was done so I be bothered every time somebody made a comment people were calling you a wrecking ball. All I have done is tell the truth and all I get the runaround and lied to.

All aspects of service: from the call reps to the 'bars.'

Even though I have PAID for all services in advance -- AT&T is now charging me early termination fees for deactivating service 6 days early! I spoke to Customer Loyalty, who btw once you leave - does Nothing for you - and got a brisk "Goodbye! Your bill is due." If I had know this, I would have left this carrier a long long time ago.

However, overall I do like the services provided by AT&T.

    The customer service is wonderful. I have never gotten, "There is nothing we can do for you", like I did with T-Mobile (the reason we switched). They are courteous and respond to the variety of questions rapidly. And I have had weird calls. Once I lost my phone and they had to track it, which they did to right outside my house! I got my phone stolen while at the dentist, and they got me a new one the NEXT DAY! When that phone putzed out, they (on a Saturday no less!) had me go to the service center and get another phone, after the tech tried really hard to fix it, and he gave me a bunch of helpful tips so that my phone would run better. I can go in and bug them at the AT&T store right down the street. And I really appreciate the free Wi-fi I can access while out and about.

    Terrible company. I have spent 4 hours in the last 3 days being transferred to different people to resolve our problem. Their call center is in Asia so they are getting the most inexpensive employees possible while charging their US clients outrageous fees. One department doesn't know what the other call center is doing. We have been customers for over 5 years. For 3 days we have no landline phone, internet or TV service, and we pay over $2,000 a year. Also would like to mention that every 3-6 months our bill is increased and then I have to call them to get it lowered. Very time consuming. This is a sleazy company to say the least... I strongly urge you to choose another provider. We are switching to XFinity. Hopefully they are better.

    Generally the service is great, but their customer service actively prevents you from altering your plan in any way that could save you money. I also frequently travel to New Mexico and have been charged ridiculous roaming fees at times when I was clearly within their coverage map, yet also got no reception in that area. Their phone upgrade programs are also not very clear. The only reason I haven't changed carriers is that they all seem to universally fail at providing good customer service.

    In April 2016, I received an unsolicited call from an AT&T wireless representative offering me incentives to switch my cell phone account from Verizon to AT&T. The offer over the phone included $650 in incentives including $300 just to switch, payment of up to $200 for early termination fees from Verizon and $150 to turn in my used Verizon iPhone. I accepted the offer and placed an order for a new AT&T phone. I made the mistake of assuming that the $650 incentives would be a simple process. It has been a nightmare since that time trying to get AT&T to honor the agreement they made over the phone. To sum it up briefly, they claim to have never received the old Verizon phone that I mailed to them using a box and label that they sent to me. They wrongly claimed I never sent them my final Verizon bill as yet another excuse for denying my reward incentive. I sent them a second copy of the final bill hoping to finally end the matter.

    Now it is 7 months since this ordeal began. Yesterday I phoned AT&T Customer Care (Customer - we don't care should be the name) and asked to speak to a supervisor after getting the runaround yet again. They asked me to prove I had mailed the old phone to them. Of course I had no proof, only because I had followed their instructions and used their prepaid box and label to send it in. I insisted that I had mailed the old phone in and that it was probably lying in some AT&T warehouse never to be seen again. I asked them to just credit my account for $300 to settle the dispute but instead they assigned an "investigation" number to me saying they would investigate my claim.

    To date the investigation has proven nothing. It is just another ploy by AT&T to avoid my claim and to break the promises made by their representative. For the record, AT&T turns over rebate processing to a third party, and I am convinced that the third party company benefits by denying claims and holding rewards until customers just finally give up out of frustration. If you get a call from AT&T offering you incentives to switch, I recommend you DO NOT DO IT!

    I currently have AT&T internet services and DirecTV. I was T-Mobile wireless customer, switched to Sprint but had connectivity issues so I went to the AT&T store at the Wellington Mall last Sunday. I got a quote, which included a free phone because I am a DirecTV customer. Two lines with unlimited internet, insurance on both phones, taxes, and 17% discount because I am a government worker. The total on the quite was $187 a month. So I said ok, because I was ok with this pricing. During the conversation I asked if AT&T would pick up my T-Mobile cancellation bill, and the representative said he could try but was not sure if it was going to go thru.

    Based on the pricing I was provided with and also with the promise that I would receive a Ipad mini for free per line, I decided to switch. Today, 7 days with the service, I called customer care to check the pricing, and I almost passed out when I learned that my bill was over $400. I got slammed with over $150 dollars in activation fees. I was never informed that the Ipads had a $45 dollar activation fee per unit. I did know of the phones but I was told I was not paying activation fees because I worked for the government. I went back to the store to return the Ipads, and now they want to charge me a $45 restocking fee to return the devices.

    This is ridiculous, absurd, and makes no sense. If you sell misleading and not disclosing all the fees, you cannot charge a restocking fee. In addition, I spent hours on the phone with AT&T and they say they can't do anything because it is a retailer. Bologni. This shows one more time that AT&T is a ripoff and unethical the way they do business. Rude, and incompetent people. I will sure be getting rid of internet and Tv services. Don't want to see AT&T in my house, and don't want to give them my business. They are thugs.

    I am highly displeased with AT&T Wireless. My family and I have been with AT&T Wireless for years but over time their service has become terrible. My internet speeds have slowed considerably and signal strength has decreased, and I live in the Dallas metroplex!! In addition every Android phone I have owned AT&T Wireless has messed with. What I mean by this, is they remove features that draw me to the phones in the first place. Latest example is the Galaxy S7 Edge from Samsung in which AT&T removed two key features, the downloader boost and the process manager that Samsung added to help manage RAM and battery consumption.

    In addition to the removal of these features, they added their bloatware that no one uses or wants and changed the Settings app to be this weird tabbed settings compared to Samsung's vertical settings menu that makes so much sense. Every other carrier left those two features that AT&T Wireless removed and in addition all other carriers don't screw with the looks that Samsung releases. On some carriers the user had the choice to have the tabbed settings or the standard but with AT&T that is not the case.

    Next complaint is that AT&T is always the slowest and laziest to roll out Android updates. It's like they ignore and could care less about their customers. Currently the Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is in beta and all primary US carriers have allowed their customers to participate EXCEPT AT&T once again. AT&T has repeatedly fell behind by about 3 months on Android updates compared to other carriers. This update will likely not change from the past, they will probably release 3 months late once again. In today's times these updates are important and customers care about them a lot, but AT&T does not. I don't even bother with their customer support anymore because it is so scripted and useless.

    But another reason you can see that AT&T Wireless does not care about their employees is in the current release on RCS from carriers. AT&T has released RCS for their customers, but it only works with other customers who have AT&T. Whereas, Sprint partnered with Google to help push universal RCS so that all Android users can take advantage of the RCS features despite the users carrier, and Verizon and T-Mobile both have signed on to try and release universal RCS for their networks as well, but the only silent one, once again is AT&T. My years with AT&T Wireless have gone south and have been less than enjoyable. They seem to care less about their customers and only care about money and their own products and keeping their own services private.

    I wish AT&T would start listening to their customers, work with other companies to provide what is best for the mass consumers, and start updating quicker. I think this would help draw customers as opposed to losing them. There is a reason T-Mobile is growing so fast and so many around me rave about T-Mobile and how much they love it. I always see the things they do for their customers such as releasing updates in a timely manner and random promotions. All in all AT&T wireless has fallen in customer service and continues to fall. I cannot wait to leave.

    AT&T has been a problem for me on many occasions on my DirecTV account. I went to DirecTV to get away from them and now they are buying Time Warner. Most recent problem is they solicited me by phone and offered me Cinemax and Starz for an additional $13 a month and confirmed no other charges as long as I subscribed for 3 months. I get my first new bill and there is all kinds of charges amounting to an additional $43. They deceived me and lied to me. They are as dishonest as it gets. They were pleasant on the phone but they would not be reasonable to remove the extra $30 they stole from me. If we, the public allow them to steal from us they become more crooked and more powerful. I intend to make a hobby of telling how awful and dishonest they are.

    They charged me an "advanced receiver service" for $25. I asked why and she said it was already part of my prior bills. I said I had been paying $32.48 for over a year and now I add a supposed $13 for extra channels and this gets added to my bill. They did not inform me of this charge. I have trouble interpreting the bill but it is obviously not $13 more as was what they solicited. If they rip me off of $40 on an occasion and the do it to 40 million Americans every three months nets them an additional $480 million dollars a year in dishonest money. Imagine what they will do when they own Time Warner.

They say I need pay in advance. They say it's because everything. What you expect? If I get a chance to leave AT&T I am ready right away. During purchase they told I will be charged around 96$ if it's 167.35$.

    If I ask AT&T they say it's been charged for previous month and this month. If I pay like this every month, then it is more than the mobile I am paying for, just network every month.

I called the customer care services and they told me that for 6 mbps the cost will be $30/month with no extra charges. I could even bundle it up with my go-phone (prepaid phone) and pay $20/month for the internet. I was initially paying $55/month to another company, so I decided to change companies due to the price difference.

    I canceled my old wireless service and installed AT&T. When I surfed through my new AT&T account, I found that the billing amount was higher. I called customer service and asked, and they informed me about the additional "equipment fee" of $10 every month. They also said that prepaid phones cannot be bundled with the wireless service. So instead of $20 that was promised earlier, I have to pay $40/month. The agent that I talked to before the installment was dishonest about the cost and was misleading. Even though $40/month is not a bad price, I am frustrated by the extra costs that were not revealed to me before making a contract with AT&T. I feel that the agent lied about the cost in order to make me a customer.

After being on the phone with their inept customer service/support team for over 3 hours, I was finally given the option I could work with, but it came at a price of not having a phone for 7 days. Today, I called my phone number from a landline in order to get my voice mail. It asked me for a passcode. I was never given one or set one up. If I did, it was 7 years ago when I got the first iPhone.

    I called customer service and verified every piece of information they have on me in order to access my account. They told me that the password would have to be reset. The problem being that they can only send me a new passcode to the device associated with the phone number. It makes no difference to them that the phone does not work anymore, but that is the only way they can do it. They couldn't send me the code to the other phone on my plan or to my email address that they had me verify in order to even speak with them.

    After the first customer service rep wasn't able to help me, I asked for a supervisor. She refused me a supervisor over 6 times. I had to keep asking her for a supervisor until she finally put me on hold. After speaking to 3 different supervisor, I spoke to a supervisor that would not help me, was a rude jerk and sounded like he couldn't be bothered. The reason I am stating a complaint is because I have been an AT&T mobile customer for over 10 years and they were not able to help me out with the simple task of retrieving voice mail. They didn't even sound like they wanted to help. I am considering other companies to take my business to.

When I called, my call was re-routed 15 times. Each person say they were transferring me to a person that could help. Mind you, I had to give my information to each individual AND tell the story of my issue. Ten. Different. Times. I even had one lady GIVE me the "correct" number to call for my pending questions. I called the number. It was just AT&T's regular number. Same automated machine.

    I was to the point of tears frustrated with them. It felt like they were playing games with me. It felt like a joke. And it didn't end. I had to end that cycle. The very last lady said the usual "unfortunately, I do not have the information on contract plans, let me transfer you to the correct department" and finally I said that it would NOT be the correct department and I had to hang up. Also, I attempted to get the corporate number from Google which says they are located in Dallas, TX but upon calling, received THE SAME AUTOMATED AT&T MESSAGING.

    In March 2016 I went into the ATT store, trying to buy a phone, they convinced me to get DIRECTV for the house and I would be eligible for a free phone and they had this unlimited package going on where I pay $100 for first line and the next two lines would $40 a line and all the other phones up to 10 lines would be free. So I jumped on, come to find out there is no such thing. You get one free phone line and all the other lines are going to be $40 a line, this is very misleading to the consumer, you try to talk to them and they are very rude, I wish I would have never done this. ATT you suck... I am very disappointed in this, Att. All my friends did tell to stay far from you ATT but that's what happens when you don't listen. I am sure to tell everyone I meet not to use att, and I will find a way to get out of this. PEOPLE STAY FAR FROM ATT. THEY ARE RUDE AND MISLEADING.

    I have been a very long time customer of AT&T, do I can tell you this from that experience I've had over the years. First everything starts out good with them. Let me say how my service start out around $89 to $130 a month. Well. The problem started when my wife and son came onto my plan and all the lying started. Let me tell you, they you can turn off and control your son data, but what they don't tell you is they AT&T will turn right back on the very next billing term. So now they know a young person doesn't pay attention to their usage, now a bill turns out as high as $420, and this have happen several times, month after month.

    They would never tell you can turn it off completely. They let you think you've in control of everything and it's off and YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. That is never the case. Because they want to pay more no matter what. When I call them, they kept me on hold for more than hours, and then guess what. Their line drops the call. Now you start over again. Explaining what you've said the previous person. Are you I say the last 3 persons. Well by this time I was furious. To feel their insecurities About their customers.

    Someone needs to really look into their bat and delay concept when it comes to how they program their system to automatically turn back on what a consumer has turned off. Why give a person the key when they have the same key, there's comes on automatically so that they can make more money off of the person and that person not be aware that they are spending more money. That is not fair and it's not right. I will be emailing my state representative about the practices.

    My family moved from St. Petersburg, FL to Keller, TX on 10/29/2016. Approximately two weeks ago, my son-in-law attempted to arrange a smooth transition of television, internet and telephone service with AT&T during the change of ownership of our new home. We were scheduled for an AT&T technician to arrive on 10/29, but none arrived. My son-in-law spent several unpleasant hours on his cell phone trying to resolve the problem, was transferred to a number of different departments, and was given another technician date of 10/31.

    No technician arrived, which prompted even more discouraging phone calls, with no resolution. An AT&T technician finally arrived on 11/2, provided us with a modem and commenced our internet and telephone service. We had initially considered Uverse cable television service, but had changed to DirecTV through a telephone conversation with AT&T customer service. However, the technician claimed he was unable to initiate DirecTV because he didn't have the proper equipment. He left us with a receipt for his service and gave us his personal telephone number in case we needed further assistance. My son-in-law tried to contact him on 11/4 without success!

    I had received several e-mails from AT&T indicating service dates and times, but none was ever accurate. I received a confirmation e-mail today, 11/4, stating that a technician was scheduled to arrive this date between 9am and 10am. None ever arrived. My son-in-law attempted to contact AT&T for resolution but received none. I called AT&T, spoke with a very helpful and courteous lady who tried to resolve the problem through a three-way phone connection with another department.

    After nearly two hours of waiting and receiving nothing but confusing explanations from the other department, I was told something to the effect that our orders had become fouled up, the technician who installed out telephone and internet should have been able to do the same with DirecTV. I wasted considerable time speaking with some representative who stated he was from Arizona, and the result was that he couldn't schedule another technician to activate the DirecTV till next week. This entire fiasco was light years beyond intolerable! I immediately canceled the entire AT&T account and my son-in-law managed to schedule a new service plan with Frontier. Hopefully we will not experience the same type of dysfunction that we did with AT&T.

    In all my years of experience with cable companies such as Comcast and Brighthouse, utility companies, restaurant service, merchandise vendors and repair services, nothing has been more frustrating, undigestible and unsatisfying as the runaround my family has received from AT&T! I could not award this company with a review low enough to express my displeasure!

    I have been having issue with AT&T since December, 2015. I transferred my service in July of 2014 due to my job and an additional discount I was going to receive for being employed with this company. I finally called in to inquire about reducing my $152.00 bill and I was promised a reduction to $144.00 and change. When I received my bill in January, it had went up to over $180 a month. When I called to complain about it, the AT&T Representative told me that there was nothing they could do. That I had no proof. I informed the Rep that all calls are recorded for training purposes and the Management could pull the call to verify. The Rep told me that pulling the call was not an option and placed me in hold.

    Since then, every call I made to AT&T, I have been given the runaround and pushed around to different departments that have nothing to do with the Wireless Department. Recently, I have had issues with both lines of service that are ongoing in which AT&T has done nothing but continue to pacify the situation with no resolution in sight. AT&T are no better than Wells Fargo when it comes to their customers.

    Unfortunately, AT&T requires that you use their equipment for internet services and that includes wireless. At our last house we had purchased a great modem and router that would drop connection about once or twice a month. Now that we have AT&T's "superior" wireless equipment we are able to enjoy constant loss of signal. My laptop sits ten feet from AT&T's combination modem and router and just this evening I have lost connection five times over the course of two hours. How does AT&T respond? "You need to upgrade to a faster plan." I might be mistaken AT&T, but wouldn't a faster plan improve my download and upload speeds and do nothing for the disconnections with which you have plagued me? Your support recommendation sounds a great deal like a sales pitch. I recommend to everyone that you shy away from AT&T as an internet provider if you can help it.

However, I did not receive this credit even after 6 billing cycles and after I submitted a case at their call centre, they declined after reviewing it for a month. Simple lies from the branch, or the people working at AT&T have no idea how things work. International Roaming charges are excessive. I had even blocked all my lines from international calls, as one phone was being used by a parent and I didn't want them to accidentally dial international, which they did.

    When I went back to AT&T they had no record of one line being blocked for international calls and the remaining 5 were blocked. I was billed $500 for a call that was made by mistake from that line.. and no one in the call centre listened to my protest or call to check the account notations... Poor record keeping.

Representative sign me up for insurance on the iPhones which I did not need. I have insurance through Apple which is far superior to the AT&T offering and much less expensive. Nevertheless I was signed up for the insurance as well as a two year commitment for the iPads. I already own two iPads which I explained to the representative.

    He told me that they were free as part of a promotion. What he didn't tell me was it was a monthly charge for each iPad as well as the two-year commitment neither of which I needed or wanted. I was also told that would be getting higher data capacity which never happened. I have been a loyal AT&T customer for more than 25 years with a brief excursion of two years to Verizon. AT&T has given me no satisfaction with these issues and grudgingly gave me credit for my "insurance". It kind of looks like I am stuck contractually with AT&T although what I asked for and what I got are clearly incorrect.

I was never even notified by AT&T that if account was not paid in full by a deadline that the account would go to collection. They just sent it straight to an agency.

    This was absolutely unnecessary as I was making large payments every month. Now that sorry company reports my account to a collection agency & ruins my credit. I am so furious!!

    See my resolution on 11/18/2016. AT&T resolved the issue to our satisfaction.

    Original Review: Oct. 26, 2016

    We purchased 4 Apple smartphones in May 2016 under the Buy One, Get One Free (BOBO) promotion. The two representatives that we worked with at the store knew that we were buying 4 phones and that we were buying them under the promotion, and recommended to us the Apple iPhone 6SE. They indicated that our initial monthly bills would have the monthly cost of all 4 phones included. However, in 2-3 months, we would get reimbursed for those costs, as well as see our bill reduced since the promotion would allow us to save the cost of 2 of the phones over a 30 month period of time.

    All 4 phones were purchased at that time; however, implementation occurred from June 3 - June 15 due to the fact that one phone was activated immediately, one phone was back-ordered, one phone needed to be shipped to Baltimore, and one phone needed to be shipped to Minneapolis (and then had to be activated in the store as the initial phone was defective).

    When calling AT&T over the next couple of months, we received different responses as to why we didn't see the reduced bill or recoupment of costs (e.g., timing, not all phones activated at same time). However, each time, after explaining our situation, they would indicate that we qualified and would see the reduced bill and recoupment the next month. They increased our data for our trouble, and indicated that the full recoupment of the two phones would not be a problem as the cost of the iPhone 6SE was around $450, which was under the $650 maximum recoupment/phone.

    In October, almost 5 months after purchase, after calling again, a AT&T representative told us that the Apple iPhone 6SE was not part of the BOGO promotion, and that not all AT&T representatives knew of the devices that qualified for the promotion. He offered us a $400 one-time adjustment to our bill. We told him that we appreciated the offer of $400, but wanted AT&T to honor the BOGO promotion that all AT&T representatives told us we qualified for. He indicated that someone would either email us or call us regarding the resolution within 72 hours.

    We are hoping that AT&T honors the BOGO promotion that we were promised when we talked to the representatives in the store and on the phone, and relied on their expertise to purchase our four Apple 6SE iPhones! If they do not honor the BOGO promotion, then this promotion has been a scam by AT&T, and should be considered a "bait and switch" offer by them.

    I've been a AT&T customer for years. Yes there were some good times and bad times, but unfortunately the bad times outweigh the good times. Sometimes I have dealt with rude and unprofessional representatives that lack expertise in the cell phone technology and customer service, but I stayed with AT&T. On the other, I've tried several times to terminate my services with AT&T, but AT&T made it very very difficult for me to leave by adding terminating fees and other charges to my bill. Here are just a few of the unfair/unprofessional practices that were performed by AT&T:

    I had the iPhone 5 and when the iPhone 6s came out the system crashed on the iPhone 5. AT&T told me to go to Apple and Apple said, "Well that happened to several iphones- you just have to pay the 150.00 deductible to get a new phone". This was not my fault and I end up paying the 150.00 to get a new phone using my insurance.

    I purchased a tablet through AT&T which representative told me that a fee would be waived. That was not true. I end up calling in visiting AT&T several times before the issue was solved. When I asked for the representative that sold me the phone by giving me fraudulent information, I was told that she had been terminated.

    Just recently I had made a payment arrangement. At that time I was told once I completed payment arrangement to call back to make an arrangement on the balance. Upon completing the payment arrangement I called AT&T and I spoke with several representatives including managers. I was told that I had to pay the bill off to avoid service suspension. I explained to all of the individuals what was told to me prior to me keeping my payment arrangement is still AT&T would not keep the agreement. Another lie told.

    Brainstorming about the options that I have to eliminate this bill as well as terminate AT&T, I called back to ask 2 questions that I had before (How do I pay off my second phone that I only owe $81 for and get it unlocked?) In the past I was told that I could not pay the one phone off. I had to pay the bill off in full. This time I was told that I could pay the phone off. I had to go to the AT&T app, pull up manager installment plans, pick the telephone number, and pay the bill off. Also I was told to go to AT&T.com device unlock and request the phone to be unlocked. I did all the above.

    I received the message saying that the phone could not be unlocked until the bill is paid in full. The person that I spoke to at that time seemed to be very sincere about the knowledge she had given me. I don't know whether she was not aware of the procedures to unlock the phone or whether she lied to get me to pay more money on the bill; however, I still was given misinformation. I could go on, on ,and on about various incidents that happened between AT&T, myself, and other customers, but I do not have the time and I would not want to abuse you with such negativity.

    Every month when I call AT&T I am on the phone for at least half of the day trying to resolve the billing/ phone problems. My blood pressure rise and sometimes I even become a little nauseous being tossed over and over to various people to get the problems solved. I refuse to continue with this heated unprofessional conversation/service. Come ** or high water AT&T I am done. I plead the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST on the situation!!!

    I have been dealing with AT&T for some time and today got (order) a phone. Problem is I had to go to Best Buy and buy a T-Mobile SIM card only 5$ so they said. Well it was more than that! So I played their game and was told that only way they could honor what was said to me is to "backdoor way". In nutshell I paid full price for phone, "that I do no have or even know when I will get it". I now have a phone number on my account that I don't even know? How is this possible? I have all documents to show I was, well? Lied to, trust me! They did not want me to leave with paperwork and it's funny that it took 15 minutes, to wait for them to process it!

    In plug machine have me turn my card 4 times! I have been wronged by them and what is worse my wife wants me to explain why I did this? It's cause I hope they learn just because I have been with them since they were Cingular, and loyal I should be preferred customer, not the 2 other people I heard talking about switching from another carrier! Pls read this and know they are hurting the loyal and faithful customers!

    Thanks for your vote!
