AT&T Wireless Reviews

How many consumers would be happy with a utility company that sold them unlimited power usage only to later say that after 3 days of power usage they will start rolling blackouts, or a water company that sells unlimited water and then turns the water pressure down to drips after a few days, or a cable company that sells unlimited channels and then only allows a few to be watched after reaching a never before discussed limit? No consumer will be happy with unlimited garbage.

We returned the booster and canceled our service. The manager at the store told my husband the contract would be terminated under the military clause and she warned that we may still receive a bill for the fees but to just contact them and it should be resolved. So two weeks went by and our phones are still activated. We called to see what's going on and they told us they won't terminate service without a copy of the orders. We faxed a copy and heard nothing then. We contacted them and they told us the clause does not apply because they now say we have coverage!

Today I got a "Welcome to AT&T" pamphlet with my rate info. It's significantly higher than I had thought. I certainly wouldn't have signed up for a plan at this rate as I can get the same plan with another company for less. The pamphlet also listed a one-time charge of $49.30, but for what, they never said. Is this an installation charge? I know the plan I signed up for didn't have an installation charge. I certainly would not have agreed to pay almost $50 for installation when no one was required to come to my house to install anything. Is this just a random 'just because we feel like it' charge? I have no idea.

So, to find out what my actual plan rate is and why I had this one-time charge on my account, I called the 800 number given in the pamphlet. The number doesn't work... never even rings. I tried it several times. So I thought I'd utilize the online chat feature to get info. That didn't work either. A blank chat screen popped up but nothing ever loaded beyond that. When I first visited the website, I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to complete a survey about my visit. I agreed to participate. Of course, that didn't work either.

Further searching online for some sort of help led me to the "Contact Us" link, which doesn't offer any way to contact AT&T but merely takes me through a step-by-step multiple choice chart which ultimately leads me to online information which doesn't resolve my problem or give me any other choices for contacting AT&T. The Site Map gives me a "Cancel Service" link but all that says is, I must call the 800 number. The same on in the pamphlet that doesn't work.

All-in-all, I've had AT&T for 14 days and I feel completely scammed without any way to get help. I may contact someone at the state government level for legal help. What a shame! I'll never use AT&T again and certainly won't recommend them to anyone.

I told her that is not my fault, and it is Chris's fault, as he gave me the number with no letter at the beginning, and I am not responsible for AT& T's mistakes! She said, she wasn’t not going to credit me at all. She then transferred me to someone else. This other person said she was sorry about the mistake in cancellation, and she took care of cancelling it as of this date, not 12/5/11. She then said, “You used the internet so I am not going to credit you for the past 1 and a half months!” I told her that I have not used, it as I have AT&T wireless 4G on my phone, but I had not unplugged my modem, as it is in a corner, and is hard to reach.

I then asked to speak to a supervisor, and she said, "that is your right but I am still not crediting you! Have a nice day!” I asked her when she would transfer me to a supervisor, and she said she wasn't going to, and someone would call me in 3-5 business days! She then hung up! As of today, I still have not heard from anyone (she didn't bother to get a contact number from me) and I am continuing to be billed with late charges! I don’t even use my * home phone, it is only connected for my burglar alarm!

I forgot to mention that when I signed up for DSL, it was supposed to be $14.00 per month for 12 months, but they charged me the full $19.95 for the past year! What can be done about this, as they are going to screw up my credit rating, while I wait for one of these useless morons to call me and fix this problem?

The next month, I was billed for $149. When I called, I was told it can take up to a month for the change to take place. The following month, I was billed $139. I called again and paid the fee. I have called every single month to get this corrected, to no avail. I am at my wits’ end. Installation was done on 9/3/11. The phone had static every 10-20 seconds, and the high speed started to decline. It wasn't until a tech came out to access the problem, that it was discovered that the HD was never installed, and because the first tech never unplugged the router from our computer, the phone static problem continued. Once the router was unplugged from the computer, we started having better phone service.

On 2/27/12, I spoke with Jennifer at U-Verse Retention Service, and was given a $100 credit and your email address. I feel I have been taken advantage of by a huge company, and as a little person, have little rights fighting “big brother". Please look into this matter, and give me what was promised at the price promised in the first place.

Wanting my phone to work, I did everything I was told, to no avail. Within the proper time frame, I cancelled AT&T service by use of a number port. A number port is when the provider of your choosing gets on the phone with your current provider and change services. After my services with Verizon had been restored I drove to an AT&T store in Lenox Mall located in Atlanta, GA and returned the iPhone. The rep at the store in Lenox Mall was a ** male, his co-worker was an ** female, and the manager was an ** male. I had been told three days ago that I wouldn't be charged a restocking fee of $35; this was not seen in the reps notes (unprofessional).

March 2012, I received a bill for over $435, claiming that I had not returned the iPhone. I have spoken with numerous claims to be managers and they tell me that there is no record of the return, I suspect foul play. I am now being told that I must provide proof of receipt to get the bill reduced, I told them my credit union shows the purchase being credited back to my account, they are telling me that they cannot accept this (preposterous). I was told that a manager would contact me personally to alleviate the situation, no one called, and I had to call them.

Once again I suggested that a three way phone call be conducted with my credit union to prove the returned item, either that or fax. AT&T has accepted none of my request and would like me to drive 25 miles to the Lenox store to investigate (which is their job). This company seems to want only disturb fair decisions made by customers, and use them as financial pawns.

In regards to the complaint, AT&T debited my account for $1,387 for a past bill along with unreturned merchandise which I returned and have the UPS receipt as documentation. I received no notification of this upcoming automatic debit which came directly from my account as I was told over two months ago that this account was closed and I didn't have to worry about my account being debited. Upon my knowledge of this transaction, I called AT&T Services at 9:00 am on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, and spoke with a young man about the monies being debited from my account and how I could not afford this. He specifically offered me to reverse the payment and refund the monies back into my account. He spoke with such authority and knowledge of policy. I was ecstatic! I called the landlord and asked him to remove the lock so that my children, who had been outside after school, could not get in because I promised that my rent payment would be paid as soon as I got off work, based on the conversation with one of your employees.

Your employee even told me that the reverse payment would show up in my account in about 30 minutes and he went on to further state that it they are told that it normally takes 24 hours but mine should be there shortly. I began calling my bank all day to check to see if this refund had been returned to my account. It never came and I was humiliated! However, I still trusted the word of your employee as I hopelessly waited thinking that maybe my refund was just experiencing the normal time frame. I called again at 4:15 pm to confirm my refund payment and this is where I connected with a representative of your company named Ida, who told me that a refund payment was not due to me and will not be placed in my account. Might I add that she was very professional as well as compassionate to my situation.

I then asked to speak to manager and was referred to a Ms. **, who too exhibited such compassion as she was too totally professional as I pleaded my case and asked for some kind of help as this situation caused a hardship beyond belief, eg, overdraft charges, unable to buy food, etc. Ms. ** stated to me that the first representative that I spoke to in regards to my account should have been aware of the policy of AT&T and that he knew that the company does not do reverses or refunds once they've been debited from an account. I was then truly humiliated! I felt that this was told to me in order for someone to feel powerful or to possibly get a laugh.

Your representative did not write in his written documentation the correct words spoken in our conversation as I was told by AT&T reps that I spoke with said they did not read the same information in his notes. It was stated that all representatives must write the problem and conclusion of the conversation of each call received and he, however, did not. If he made a mistake, then I should have been notified immediately as my phone number was on file! Ignorance to the law is no excuse. I totally do not accept the fact in regards to this entire situation and hereby request that AT&T make special arrangements for my situation because of your employee. Your employee stated to me, "Your refund credit should be in your account in approximately 30 minutes."

Your employee did not give correct information, as he may not have been properly trained on policy and procedure. He also did not promptly inform me once a mistake has been made. The response that I received by the representatives of AT&T was, "I'm sorry." I feel that I am due an apology by your employee as well as an apology by AT&T in order. Mistakes by representatives could possibly end up costing AT&T millions of dollars. If all calls are recorded by your company as stated, then the conversation which took place on March 6, 2012, between myself and one of your representation between approximately 9:03 am until 9:20 am as well as the recording on my personal phone may serve as documentation of my complaint if documentation is requested.

In conclusion, I am totally disappointed with AT&T and I hereby request that I be connected with someone who has the authority to properly address my situation. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I may be contacted via the following methods: phone ** or **; e-mail: **@hotmail.com or you may send written communication to the aforementioned address.

When I tried to reach someone at AT&T to get our phone reconnected immediately, the record line kept hanging up on me. When it finally put me on hold to speak to a representative, I was left on hold for over an hour. I finally had to drive to the nearest AT&T service center I could find, which was 15 minutes away, and ask them for help. When I arrived at the service center, I handed the customer service rep my cell phone and explained to him that I had been on hold with AT&T for over an hour. He was able to get a rep from AT&T on the line, but the rep told me I had to pay the full amount to get the service put back on. I tried to explain to the rep that I was told my phones would not be disconnected until the dispute over my bill and my service was handled. The rep told me that she was not aware of any dispute regarding my bill and I had to call back and speak with someone from the billing department.

On Feb 27, 2012, I contacted AT&T again and explained to the rep that I was not paying another phone bill until my service was repaired and my bill was investigated. The rep, Maria, told me she understood, and I asked to speak with a supervisor. She forwarded my call to a Jeremy in small business accounts. I asked Jeremy if he was a supervisor, and he said no. He said I couldn't speak to a supervisor, because a supervisor couldn't help me, but he could. I explained to him the problems I was having with my service, and he said I should add more lines. He kept trying to sell me additional services that would not only increase my bill, but also put me into an extended contract with AT&T that I didn't want. I finally told him to go to hell and please let me speak to a supervisor. He said what I needed was to speak to someone in the repair department and he would transfer me.

I was on hold for over 10 minutes, and a repair person never got on the line, so I hung up. I then contacted Steve **, a contact person in repair for AT&T that had come out and repaired my phones before. I left him a message and explained that my service wasn't working properly. As of today, March 9th, I have not heard from Steve. On Feb. 28th, 2012, I contacted AT&T again, and this time I spoke with Sandy. I explained to Sandy what the problem was with my service, and that I was not going to pay another phone bill until my phones were repaired. She said she understood, and she said the other rep I spoke with should have provided me with a tracking number. She provided me with a tracking number, and told me someone would contact me within 3 business days. I never heard from anyone at AT&T about my complaint, but I did began to get harassed by the billing department regarding my bill.

On March 8th 2012, I received a message from Floyd at AT&T, regarding the tracking number. I left Floyd a message on March 9th, 2012, then I noticed I had a bill from AT&T on my desk, and it was a disconnect notice that was scheduled for March 10th 2012. I contacted the number listed on the bill, and got Ted in customer service. I explained my situation to Ted, and he said he was very sorry for all the problems I was having. He said he could see some notes on my account, but none to the extent of what I was telling him that happened. He said he was in customer service, and he really couldn't do anything, but he said the rep I spoke with back in Jan. 2012, should have put my bill in dispute, and that would have stopped the interruption. He also said I should have been allowed to speak to a supervisor, and he would make sure he got one on the line for me. He put me on hold but I didn't get to speak to a supervisor. He said he would add a dispute on my phone, even though his department was not allowed. He suggested I requested to speak to a supervisor in billing, and he said that the other reps I spoke to should have not told me I was not allowed to speak to a supervisor.

While I was on the phone with Ted, Floyd called. I asked Ted if I should speak to Floyd, and he said yes, so I hung up with Ted, and then explained my situation to Floyd. Floyd said he would investigate my service and get back to me. I explained to Floyd that my service was schedule for interruption tomorrow, and if it was interrupted again, I would just close my business, because I'm too tired fighting with them. I spend more time fighting with AT&T, than I do running my business, and that is not acceptable. Floyd said he would put my bill in dispute and make sure I was not disconnected.

First, I never had this call with them. Second, if they claimed to have my number, why didn't they call back. No response from them. He said if I paid X amount of my bill, the account can be closed and all relationships with AT&T done. I paid immediately using my CC. Again, in February, I got a bill. Now, I called; and they told me there was a cancellation fee. I reminded them that the last manager said all the bills were cleared, and I was done with AT&T. He never mentioned any other pending bills. To this, the answer is sorry and that I have to pay.

Twice, I had problems with AT&T. The first time, the misinformed agent put me on a plan that didn't exist. The second time, the manager said my account would be cleared and closed, and again, it didn't. AT&T is so frustrating. They never tell you the actual facts. Both times, both agents didn't know what they were talking about!

Mr. ** has had service with AT&T for over to 20 years. I have had cellular service with AT&T for at least 10 years, if not more. As a result of what we have been put through, we will both be canceling all of our services with AT&T because of this situation. Mr. ** received conflicting promotions from AT&T regarding the bundling costs for package deals. When we ordered the service in December 2011, at no time was it ever disclosed to us that we would be subjected to a early termination fee of $150 if we did not stay with AT&&T for 12 months. Not only did it take over two weeks to get the service installed, requiring me to have to go to stores with WiFi service or friends' homes just to access the internet, but when the technician came out on January 7, 2012 to install it, it took him over 2+ hours just to get it up and running.

Since that time and because this is a broadband with a finite number of fiber optics with an unknown number of subscribers utilizing this same broadband, I have experienced freeze-ups and/or no connectivity to the internet. Since I do everything online and my inability to maintain connectivity has led to total frustration of any alleged contract with AT&T and has resulted in total dissatisfaction with AT&T's internet service. Because this is essentially a breach of contract in so far as I was not getting what AT&T led me to believe would be more than sufficient to meet my needs. I am going to school online, do all banking online and it is essential that I have no disruption in connectivity. And, as for Mr. ** who is paying this bill, he has clearly not gotten the benefit of the bargain for which AT&T continues to bill him.

I have made at least five attempts to reach someone of authority that can deal with this matter and the constant, inconsistent statements (not to mention being transferred to AT&T departments all over the country) that I have undergone is unconscionable, reprehensible and just shows how bad AT&T treats its paying customers. Mr. ** and I may be small fish in the sea of AT&T but fish have been known to swim in schools and I am more than confident that there is a plethora of dissatisfied customers within this area who will be more than willing to band together for a class action.

On December 27th, I received another SMS saying that my international data roaming services has been suspended because of high usage, which I found surprising because the roaming service was already turned off on my iPhone. Upon my arrival back in New York from vacation in Pakistan, on or around January 17th, I was surprised to find out that my bill included a $536 charge for international roaming. I called the AT&T customer service to complain and was told that the charges were because I did not turn off the 'fetching feature' in my iPhone. I told the AT&T rep that I was not asked to turn the fetching feature off when I had spoken to them from Pakistan and I wanted to dispute this charge. The customer rep told me that I should pay all the charges excluding data roaming and latter will be reversed. So I paid $101.76 and continued to use my phone.

Late in January, my phone service was suspended and upon calling the company I was told that it was because the $536 amount was now overdue. When I told the rep that it was in dispute and I was told not to pay them because they will be reversed, he said that the previous rep did not register a complaint and thus, charges remained. After spending almost an hour with the customer service rep I was told that a formal complaint has been lodged and the charges will be reversed.

In mid February (around Feb 19), my phone was again disconnected and when I called AT&T, I was told that my complaint against the roaming charges was rejected and unless I paid the full amount, the phone services will remain suspended. I complained to the rep that I have spent almost 3-4 hours with various AT&T reps and have been told that these charges will be reversed and on that basis I paid all my dues excluding the disputed amount. At that time, the rep told me that AT&T can take off $200 from the disputed amount but rest I will have to pay. I told the rep that I will think about this because not only did I not use data service while in Pakistan, I was told that they will be fully reversed. In the meantime my service remained suspended.

On February 22nd, I called AT&T back and asked them to take off $300 from the disputed amount and I will pay the rest and settle the whole issue once and for all. After spending another hour with the rep, I was told that the company had agreed with my request and I can settle the disputed amount with a payment of $236 and the phone will be turned back on. I made the payment immediately and with in half hour my phone was reconnected.

Three days later, on February 25th, my phone was suspended again and I had to call AT&T and spend another hour explaining that the dispute was settled on February 22nd and based on that my phone was turned back on. The customer service rep told me that the company had rejected my settlement and I will have to pay the disputed amount in full. I vehemently protested that the company cannot turn back on the settlement but to no avail. I asked the rep to let me talk to his supervisor. After waiting for almost 15 minutes, I was told that the supervisor is not available at that time but will call me in 30 minutes on my other cell phone. The phone never came and the service remains suspended.

I did everything the company asked me to do to turn off the data service and despite that I was charged, which makes these charges fraudulent. Also, upon advice of the AT&T reps, I continued to pay all charges over and above the disputed amount because I was assured twice that they will be reversed, which means that the rep misrepresented to me. I settled with AT&T and my service was turned back on, yet AT&T went back on the settlement. Now the company is calling my wire line phone repeatedly to harass me into paying the full amount, while the iPhone service remains suspended.

At no time, while the AT&T rep sold me the phone and insurance did they mention one time that they were selling me third party insurance. At no time did they tell me that the insurance was for a refurb phone. I was asked if I wanted insurance. "What does it cover?" If you drop it, it falls in water, if it's stolen. "Okay. I better get it," I have talked with these talking heads; they just keep repeating the prompts that are on their screens. I have contacted AT&T regarding this outrageous bait and switch they pulled. I want to cancel my 2 year contract. Well, can't do that without a hefty fee. How bout we refund your money you paid for the insurance? No not yet!

I have $199.00 out there floating that they claim is non-deductible. That was 7 days ago. AT&T says they thought I canceled the insurance. The defective phone has been sent back. My money is out there. Who knows if I will get another phone? I told the AT&T's floor manager over the phone that I was seeking counsel and am planning on suing them for their practice. Asurion has been in several class action suits due to their practices. Yet AT&T continues to do business with them. Why? I am seeking counsel. I hope to get another class action suit started against this company. If not, I will seek action in the small claims court. Please, let's fight this company. We can do it together.

Of course, it didn't take long to see your company had worked harder at promising better customer service than actually making the changes necessary to provide better service. My wife and I had internet service from your company. We ended up moving and had to send in the internet router that your company provided us. Your company sent me directions on how to send in the equipment, so we followed directions as your company provided in the email. My wife first took the equipment to the closest UPS store to send back as stated in your email. The UPS worker stated that they did not send those routers back given the number on the router. I guess it didn't match up. Shamefully, I thought maybe my wife misunderstood the gentleman at UPS. I then decided to take it back myself and see what the problem was. The same gentleman was working and repeated what he told my wife.

We called your company the same day the UPS worker denied our second attempt to send in the equipment. The person we spoke to (after waiting on hold a ridiculous amount of time) stated that we would have to take it to the USPS. A few days later, I did as your company told me to. I went to USPS to drop off your equipment and rid myself of this now growing headache. After waiting in the USPS line for nearly 45 minutes, the USPS worker said that they can't send it back without a mailing label. But according to AT&T's rep, we just need to bring it in, I told her. She said that she would have to charge me to send it back. Dreading the call back to your company and the almost certain ridiculous wait time, I called anyways. Right on queue, the wait time was long. This was becoming some kind of torture. What more does your company want of me? I was starting to feel like I was putting more effort into returning your companies equipment than your companies efforts to get it back.

This time, we thought we had found an answer though. We spoke to a guy who said he was sorry for the inconvenience and almost made me feel bad for feeling so much hatred towards your company. He assured me he would take care of the problem by sending out the label we needed and ending this horrible story. Now it's 3/3/12. It feels like a month and a half since I last spoke to your company's rep who guaranteed to fix the problem and what has become of everything? Nothing! Did we ever receive this magical label? No! But one thing has changed, your company has stolen $150 out of my bank account. Your company has put my family in a financial hardship by making our account negative and making me search for funds for gas just to get to work! We are so upset your company has stole from us!

I called my bank and explained the entire story to them. The best part was when my bank's rep stated that she had the exact same thing happen to her! She put in the dispute and guaranteed a return of all my funds! I wish she could train your company on true customer service. I am including all the contact information for my wife and I. I will still be waiting for that label I was promised and I will send your crappy equipment back as soon as I get it. Please look out for online reviews of your company as well as this email. I will make it very easy to find. No thank you.

Now it is in collection, as I said, and my calls to AT&T are nothing short of silly. One agent was confused and started making all sorts of stories up: I bounced a check (which can't happen the way I pay, much less that it is just plain not true), the balance was from an earlier account (I was with them for nearly a decade. What are they talking about there?). Ultimately, that agent hung up to avoid having to continue. Another came closer and admitted they made a mistake and did not cancel billing when I requested. Thus, even though my phones were gone, they kept charging. I sense that one was on to something. He said, "We will look into it and contact you". Of course, nothing.

In the end, I am now in collection, suffering damage because AT&T can't figure out their computer system. I said to them, "hey, if I had a balance due from service prior to Nov. 16th for my account, I will happily pay". And they sent a bill, I paid. Now this. It would be so nice to speak to a supervisor with a brain, but those requests have been met on three occasions with "oops, we disconnected you by mistake". Yeah, right. It is like dealing with my 14-year old. I am so tired of this.

However, for clarification, last month, my bill was $58.93, which was paid in full with a money order. Attached is a copy of last month's bill, along with the money order receipt #** and the receipt from the store where the money order was purchased. Also enclosed is the current bill, which is reflective of AT&T receiving and posting a payment to my account on February 9th. Consequently, the payment posted was not for the total amount of the money order; $58.93. Instead, the amount posted was for a $1.00CR. Obviously, there is an error. Or perhaps an AT&T employee has ascertained a means to purloin customers’ payments.

Nevertheless, upon receiving this month bill in the amount of $140.00, I am extremely upset. If AT&T is unwilling to resolve this matter within a timely manner, then my services will be cancelled; land line and wireless internet. Because who in their right-mind would want to continue to do business with any corporation that maintains less than high-quality service for customers?

At this point, it is necessary to inject a bit of perspective into the situation in order to lend credibility to a previous statement. If an AT&T employee has managed to purloin laptops from the corporation, then who is to say an employee hasn't exploited the means to purloin a customer’s payment? A $58.93 money order does not reduce itself to a $1.00CR. Thus, it is my request for AT&T to address the billing error, adjusted my account to reflect accordingly, and provide me with an updated response. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.

This company loves to bring on 1099 trunk slammers who work for peanuts and managers that run these sites that have no previous field experience. A matter of fact, the main manager, just a year ago, was selling truck parts which makes you wonder how he can manage this big market when he doesn’t even know what he's looking at on site. So these trunk slammers have no care in the world to take pride in their work to insure quality work which means quality service for the cell phone customers. They only care about walking away for the day with a bag full of peanuts.

So all you AT&T customers stuck in a contract, I'm sorry but that’s what’s happening on the other side of the phone.

Further, I was offered a bonus for bundling and was promised $100 was coming in the mail. I went back to the store, inquired to a sales person, left my name etc. 1 year and 5 months later, still no check. Further, I believe they are posting their bill, receiving late to incur and collect late payments. They have also offered a $10 bonus for going paperless, although I didn't take them up on this. I have spoken to other AT&T customers and was told by all that it took forever and they had to inquire many times to get their promised money. How many people are still owed promised money today because they didn't keep following through? Just off the phone with AT&T customer service wouldn't even speak to me because I couldn't remember some password and childhood hero that I was forced to pick on the spot upon my purchase at the store. Help!, I can't even close my account, their website is not accepting of my old computer, ironic eh? Yes, give me an attorney. I'm mad!

There’s nothing they could do and they suggested I call customer service. Customer service proceeded to tell me the same thing after checking with a "supervisor". In other words, my second line would become semi-useless unless I paid to upgrade and sign a 2-year contract for it. For background, I have been an AT&T customer for many years (including Cingular before it became AT&T) with as many as 4 phone numbers until a few years ago. And for the past few years, I have a primary account with a second line (2 numbers). My contract ran out many years ago and since then I have continued on same contract terms (about $55/month) for 550 shared minutes. The point I tried to impress on AT&T was the following.

We barely have used the wireless phones and each month we consistently have used less than about 60 minutes (14 minutes last month), and, therefore, they have been making terrific money off of me while I have barely used any service or bandwidth! Additionally, I pay online as soon as a bill notification appears--instant payments every month! So, they not only take my money for minimal use but they get it instantly at each bill origination date. In return, they refuse to change my second "basic" phone from 2G to 3G so as to be able to communicate soon. So, unless I upgrade that second line will be virtually useless. So much for their "no cost, no service agreement."

I walked out, refusing to change my 2G to a 3G at no cost. I had already spoken to Verizon, known for better service and better connections, a few days ago. As a result, I will terminate my AT&T account as soon as I get a Verizon account with same phone numbers in coming week. This event is at the very least "illogical", not well studied by AT&T, and somewhat "unethical". I will never do business with AT&T again or any carrier that uses them and will propagate my experience to others. There is no easy way to again complain to AT&T. They are like "trained robots” with a memorized reply.

Two days later, my phone would not even come on (slider). I took it to the AT&T center, and they said the battery port was dysfunctional. So I had to upgrade and pay for another phone. Great. I paid for a new phone, then a week later, I contacted AT&T back. I have a $144 bill from a basic talk, unlimited message phone (one that was cancelled and being returned). I told her "Hey, I requested a return label and said to mail it so I could send the phone back."

About week later, the phone that was cancelled supposedly had bill still. So I chatted online with several incompetent people, and they said they would send a return label and after that they would remove the $40 activation fee. I still owe $100 for a phone used once to call AT&T and got new lines. Really?

I wake up this morning, and my phones are suspended. I quickly got online to discuss this matter, and until that is paid, I will be suspended! It's not even for my new phones! It's for the old one! For a bill that was supposed to be cancelled and credited. I'm beyond ticked off with my service!

Following many weeks of AT&T technical support, we both (myself and AT&T) learned that the Samsung Focus Flash does not tether. AT&T immediately sent me overnight, with an apology, a new different phone that tethers. I received the phone today and called AT&T back to let them know all was done and to return the contract. I was told that there is no way I am going to get the previous contract and I was not allowed to talk to a supervisor. I was simply cut off and told regardless of what other divisions of AT&T told me, I was not getting the service that all we all were working to get started again. Frustrating.

I called one day after the phone service was turned on and cancelled the service due to her condition and asked that AT&T send the installation charges to her address: **. The next month, a bill was received that included the installation charges and one month's service. I immediately called and spoke with a billing representative and she indicated that they would be sending out another bill with just the installation charges. It is important to note that when I spoke with the customer "sales" representative, I signed no contract and no information was given to me that I would be responsible for a month's service. In essence, there was one day of service at that address.

We have received no communication from AT&T until this past weekend when I received a phone message from a collection agency. I contacted the agency this morning and spoke to an extremely rude man. I explained the situation again to no avail. He finally gave me the fax number for the AT&T dispute resolution office. I sent it this morning. What a sincere disappointment the AT&T customer service has been. As I have indicated numerous times, I will be happy to pay the installation charges on behalf of my mother, but I am completely amazed that a company can expect to be paid for a service not received.

When receiving my first bill in December 2011, I was charged $307.10 for wireless service. So I called, and for whatever reason, no one could explain my son's phone line was put under a senior plan. (Mind you, he was 11 years old.) So supposedly, they were going to credit my account and everything was going to be corrected.

Since December 2011, every bill I receive, needless to say, has not been corrected. Now, I'm being charged $199.50 each month starting in January 2012 for texting. I have repeatedly called each month to get it corrected, and each time, I'm reassured that it has been and I should not have any additional problem. I have spoken to supervisors, and I got nowhere. They acted like they are doing me a favor by issuing credits when if they would correct the problem, I wouldn't have to stay on the phone for 2.5 hours each month since December 2011. Is there anybody out there who can fix this?

Fast forward to Feb 2012, I pulled my credit report and noticed that EOS CCA is reporting this AT&T account for $79 since October 2011. I never received a phone call, any letters or any bills from either AT&T or EOS CCA that would state that I ever owed $79 at all. I would have expected that at least the collection agency would have notified me prior to or shortly after poisoning my credit report. I'm referring to even the basic letter saying that I would have 30 days to dispute this account, prior to them reporting on all 3 of my credit reporting agencies. However, I called and spoke to an AT&T rep in the billing department. We have a verbal agreement (and I repeated it several times) stating that if I would pay the old bill, she would call the collection agency and have them delete it from my credit reports. Having little choice in the matter, I paid it; and she put me on hold to call them. According to her, it was to be deleted.

2 weeks later, I call the CA and they inform me that they no longer own the account, but are updating the account to show as a Paid Collection. I don't think this should be the case because I never had a chance to dispute the collection in the first place. I only dealt with the original creditor when paying to have this billing issue taken care of. When calling AT&T back, they basically changed their tune to say that they wouldn't be able to do anything about what is reported to my credit reports, even though they wrongfully sent it to collections without contacting me to pay the bill in the first place.

I was in the middle of a federal background investigation where this account was brought to my attention. In my interview, it made it appear as though I lied about the account when I never even knew that I had owed AT&T anything. The results of my security clearance are still pending. I have been unable to apply for credit lately due to concerns about how that collection agency is impacting my score.

The next voice on the line was Chuck **. He said that he was a supervisor. He asked how he could help me. I told him about the verbal assault but he did not want to hear about the assault. He kept asking if my billing questions had been addressed. I said that they were, however, I wanted his assurance that Mark would be held accountable for his actions. I suggested that Mark be restrained. He said that he could not tell me how the situation would be handled but that my conversation with him (Chuck) constituted filing a complaint. I did not feel confident in that statement and asked how I could file a written complaint. He gave me a web address that provided no help. I found this website by doing my own research. Additionally, Chuck seemed to be of the state of mind that as long as Mark satisfied my request of correcting the billing errors, it was perfectly okay for him to verbally assault me. Well, it is not. I am asking that both of these AT&T employees be restrained so that no one else will ever be verbally assaulted by these to individuals. I also ask to be informed of the action that is taken by AT&T.

I called back into the main line understanding the mistake but wanted to make sure I knew what was going on. The next rep that received my call explained everything to me and I asked if we could do something for me since he knew what had happened. Nothing could be done under his power, so I asked if I could speak with someone that could, 20 minutes later I hung up. A little frustrated and not asking for hand outs, I could pay the $450 but why would I? Hopefully you can see my point of view without the "customer is always right" perspective. It's just nice to feel your contribution isn't overlooked into the massive sea of customers.

When I asked the girl what was going on she told me not to give her any attitude. Another employee said basically for me to not say anything as they did not have to wait on me. I do not understand this kind of treatment for any customer and I will never go back in that store again. The manager finally came in and the girl gave me the item and I left. Is this the proper way to run a business? I think not. This sets a terrible impression of the store for any customer that comes in there. If these are the kind of employees they hire, I wish them luck!

I find out a month into AT&T that customers can't get through to our business because the phone is always busy. It turns out, we never got the "rollover" I specifically requested, hence the original quote on price went up.

Second problem is when we ordered 3 cell phones. I was told the phones would be $49.99 each. When I received my bill, the phones were $219.99 each. To avoid disconnections, collections, I called the sales staff at AT&T way in advance to fix the situation. Well, I just received a call that AT&T will send us to collections for not paying the entire invoice. By the way, I was told by the sales staff (Chad) to deduct the overcharge on the invoice and they would take care of the rest.

Well, I just received an automated call from AT&T saying if I did not pay the bill, we would go to collections. It's no way to talk to a human, so here I am. Switching to AT&T was the worst decision I've made.

If I don't pay my bill, they cut my service off. This is a multimillion dollar company, and their employees have not given me very good customer service, and when they say that they record your conversation for quality assurance, that is a joke. If they recorded my conversations, then the CEO of AT&T should be billed for my service, and time that I have spent in trying to get assistance. Or better yet, how would they like for me to contact the news about my complaints?

Finally I called Friday, February 10 and was told to call back today, Monday, February 13, 2012, the day that the promotion expired. I spoke with Allen and he told me that he saw where I had been calling and was told to call back, however he said it was nothing he could do and referred me to this website. My bill this month is $176.00 once again, I can't afford this large amount for service.

I am a widowed mother of two small children. I would like to keep the service that I have with my bill $120.00 monthly including my February's bill that I was promised. It's not my fault that I was quoted this price. If your look at my account last month you will see that my bill was $120.00 the price that was quoted. I think that I deserve better than this being a very loyal customer. I have been late on my bill. I referred several people to AT&T for Uverse service. I have my cellular service with AT&T and Blue Cross Blue of Louisiana is my employer and lots of employees have AT&T service. I pray that you could give me what was promised to me. If not, I will have to refer this matter to the Better Business Bureau.

I was told by Amory ** that their policy was to speak to a supervisor. If not satisfied, I could request to speak with his supervisor. However, the first supervisor would not allow me to speak to his supervisor. I would like to file a formal complaint.

I can understand not being able to help me in a particular way but as a customer, I would expect some respect and sympathy to which I received none even though this service outage would cost me time and money. It was a disgusting display from a company I am paying for a service.

At this point, I contacted AT&T and began trying to find out what had happened. They then told me that my service would be $40 a month as of December. (One year of Internet for $9.95 should end at the end of January 2012.) It has been two months for this solution to come about and AT&T is now saying that they are receiving the money. I'm sending it to the new address using the same bill pay and account number that I started with. If AT&T is now receiving it and my bank statements reflect the same, I demand that the issue is already resolved. They will put my balance at a credit of $360 as of February 2012, as I have paid them $40 a month every month for a $9.95 per month service. If they insist on charging me standard rates then our agreement of $9.95 a month is expired as of now (one year later). I will continue paying for service after this credit is applied.

As of today, being the end of January, my credit is $360. Their third party billing situation and the supposed money going to someone else is not my issue, it is AT&T's! AT&T sent money somewhere it was not supposed to go, not me! I sent this money to them and they then took it upon themselves to send it elsewhere. If they were not receiving it then how did you (AT&T) then issue checks to someone else without my knowledge? I was told that I had sent it to the wrong address but I did not change the billing address from California to Illinois. I don't run your company, you do. We are not talking about a delinquent customer here, I have overpaid them every month and what they have done with it is wrong and definitely not my fault.

Please make this right with me. I am getting tired of being treated like I am at fault. The banking problems are a prime example of the downfall of business in America. What happened to money transactions from client to customer, it is not my responsibility to figure out why their system is failing. I will expect a statement immediately that shows a $360 credit as of the end of January as this is the amount they have received from me and then gave to someone else. I am extremely angry that their personnel would even consider that I am to take this up with the fourth party that they have involved with no consent from me. It is their responsibility to refund my account and after this has been done, then it is their responsibility to get the money back from the fourth party. Please contact me immediately and let me know if this issue will now be resolved.

So we set it to be installed. We were having a TV put in my husband's workshop and a TV and a phone put in the barn. I asked the sales man, the woman on the phone and the installation person before he arrived if I needed to run the wire to the barn or the shed. They all said they would have someone come and look before the job. Well that didn't happen. The man comes to install the work and he was here 13 hours. I live in a two-bedroom trailer. I swear he stood and stared at the walls for at least five hours of the time he was here. I had to crawl under the house twice because he couldn't figure out the wires. When all was done that day, he hooked up three TVs in the house, he ran the wire above ground to the workshop for the TV, the two phone lines were turned on but the wires for the phone and TV still had to be run out to the barn.

Needless to say, we had to set an appointment for them to come back. We dug the ditches, buried the wires and called. They came and hooked it up. When I received my first bill, I was charged a $65 fee because they came out to hook up the second TV and the phone. They did finally take this $65 off. But my regular monthly bill was $219 plus Tax. Every time I call to get this fixed, they set up some kind of a promotion that runs out in either three or six months and then I have to call and complain again. This is ridiculous. They need to just fix my bill the way the contract said it should be. This is a $35 difference. I am very unhappy with the way they are treating this situation. The biggest problem is I had HughesNet satellite internet and my daughter had satellite TV in the barn. Now, these satellites have been taken down. I would have to pay $400 to get the HughesNet satellite installed again. I am very unhappy with the situation they have put me in.

I was transferred to Christie who said my address was entered into their system wrong and she would correct it. After correcting my address, she stated that Uverse TV is not available at my address. I told her my next door neighbor in Apt. 10 has their bundle package and that we share the same porch. Also, my neighbor across the grass in Apt. 12 has Uverse TV with no problems. She was rude so I requested to be transferred to her supervisor.

Mrs. ** came on the line and I explained the same situation to her. She stated that maybe the distance between the box outside and my apartment is too long. I told her about apartments 10 and 12 having their service and she stated that the service is not available to everyone in my area.

I, my daughter, and her husband consistently have the same problems, and we keep getting "jerked" around with AT&T saying that after 30 days, they are no longer responsible for any issues with the iPhone. We have to contact Apple. Even the AT&T personnel in the store said that there are so many people having the very same problems.

When speaking to Apple regarding dropped calls, undeliverable text messages, and inability to connect to the internet, they said they are not responsible for coverage by AT&T. It's a vicious cycle of unresponsive and unresolved issues, that AT&T nor it seems Apple backs up their advertisements. AT&T stated rethink possible. I was told by Tresa that "rethink possible" does not in any way mean that because you are having service issues, it does not mean that they will take back any Apple iPhone and that those issues are now under Apple; that is their contract with Apple. We would have to pay for another smartphone that AT&T has, an android smartphone that they cover in their warranty department.

It's additional cost to us, because we are bound by a two-year contract and that we evidently have to have in 20 months of that contract before an update/upgrade can happen while we go without "the most blanket coverage in the U.S." I have serious medical conditions and rely on my phone tremendously. In the last month, it was life-threatening.

And I keep getting the runaround between Apple and AT&T. I've asked AT&T to just nullify the contracts and give back the non-working iPhones and we go elsewhere. That can't happen due to contract bindings. I have a severed vocal cord and have to rely on texting a lot, because most people have such a hard time understanding me. We have done the requested new SIM cards, updates through iTunes, and technical troubleshooting. I even have to pay $9.99/month for a $20 phone that was paid for 5 years ago, because the line is on this account even though the phone is not in use. To disconnect this old phone, I would have to pay $175 if disconnected before October 2012.

Payment is expected in a timely manner or reconnection fees are applied. On the consumer side, it's false advertisement of "a network of possibilities that blanket the country, so you don't have to wait on wireless so you can enjoy your life." Then there are promises of managers that can "override and exchange phones" that were supposed to call back in less than 24 hours did not happen. Guess the service was down.

AT&T, to me, means all trash talking, because they definitely do not hold true to their mission statement and/or vision of "rethink possibility." All we want is dependable service, without all the transfers who do nothing to resolve problems but tell you there will be additional charges.

I'm not asking for a resolution motivated by greed, just one that is morally and easily handled and made good by the company who advertises as such. It's very sad that corporations treat their customers/employees as expendable and locked into these binding contracts that keep you a slave to their unrealistic demands of jerking you around and all the while they are greedily spending your hard-earned money, keeping you upset and trying and trying to get a good signal with no dropped calls, no internet for 2 and 3 days, and undeliverable text, even to someone who is on your account.

They say they just don't know why but "your phones just aren't talking to one another." What a revelation. Must have paid a rocket scientist to come up with that one! And Apple store nearest to us is 3 - 4 hours away. I have enough medical conditions, and I don't need this too. Even when the calls dropped while on the phone with AT&T and Apple, they didn't even bother to call back.

Thanks for nothing.

Very dissatisfied customer

Exactly 29 days after each payment AT&T would "suspend" my services again, I paid them amounts of $400, $150, $200, $250, and $300 and not once was AT&T willing to make a payment arrangement that I based on my ability and willingness in good faith to pay. When I finally could no longer pay the monthly increases my services were terminated and AT&T began demanding that I disconnect equipment installed by their technicians and spend my time and gas by taking it to a shipping company of their choice, despite the fact that not once have they tried to work with me. They are still billing me monthly and are now demanding that I either pay $1,200 plus or my account will be sent to collections. I have tried on numerous occasions to meet AT&T's increasing demands only to have them make no effort at all to accommodate me in any way shape or form and now I am being by them as well.

I explained I can't use a phone that doesn't allow me to receive calls at home. The phone continually shows "no service". I asked what they could do to help me and I was told nothing. Q: How about a booster? A: It might work but will cost $200. Q: AT&T should help pay for this. I purchased based on service and you can't deliver. A: No. There is nothing they can do. Q: Okay, then I need to switch providers. A: Fine. Q: You need to waive the penalty for early termination. A: No. Q: Who can I talk to that can make this decision? A: No one. This is our policy.

I am dissatisfied and angry about the way I was treated. I have wasted countless hours and lost business as a result of this problem. AT&T's arrogance is appalling! Are they truly untouchable?

My daughter just made a payment on my account for $230 to them! Because they shut off just the internet today. Then they told her she would owe another $120 in 19 days from now. You call their customer service and you stay on hold until you give up and hang up. If you are lucky to get a live person, they are extremely rude and don't resolve the problem. I just filed an online complaint with the FCC. After sitting on the computer for a couple of hours, I couldn't believe the number of complaints that AT&T has received. I'm checking the "do not want an attorney to contact me" below, however, I believe there needs to be a class action lawsuit for fraud against this company and if that is started, then I do want an attorney to contact me.

I took it in to AT&T store in my area on 1/31/12 and explained to the manager what had happened. He immediately took off the back of the phone where the battery is while I was still talking to him as if he knew what he would find. There was this piece of paper about one centimeter sticking out of the pack of my phone and there was a tiny speck, maybe a millimeter on the piece of paper. The manager interrupted me and announced, "Yep, there's water damage just as I suspected, it's not covered on your warranty". I was upset that first of all the manager was so rude and abrupt with me without even listening to my complaint. He dismissed me immediately without hesitation so that no matter what my complaint was he had an excuse not to help me.

I am positive that my phone has never been exposed to water damage. The only way that little dot of water mark could have gotten there is if I was talking on the phone in the rain. I think a phone that costs $250 should be a good enough quality that I can use it in all reasonable weather conditions. I have never had a cell phone that I could not use in the rain. Aside from that, I don't believe that what caused my phone to die was due to the water mark on the back of the phone. It was obvious that no water had saturated my phone or that it was even a full drop of water. And the water mark had to have been at a much earlier date because I haven't been outside in the rain in months.

I tried to explain to the manager that it absolutely could not be due to water damage and I wanted him to explore other possible explanations for why my phone all of a sudden stopped working. He kept talking over me and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." He then told me that I would have to pay the full price of the phone, $250 and in addition, I would have to pay for a new phone.

I am really upset that I would be treated this way and I am highly suspicious as to why AT&T phones can be so easily destroyed. I brought my mother in to back me up because I felt I was being bullied by this manager and together we were able to talk him into replacing the phone with a cheaper model than the one I had originally purchased through them for $60. That is a huge difference in price and I am assuming that the quality of this new phone is far less than adequate for my needs. I read through some of the complaints about AT&T and I wish I had seen them before signing up with AT&T. I really don't think that AT&T cares at all about their customers.

Customers on tiered plan can pay for more data if they need it, and will not see reduce speeds". Initially, subscribers were described the data services as being "unlimited", and with "3G speed". If the company is compromising their side of the contract, they are at fault of providing coined "legally termed" services. They are discriminating high data users, on an undisclosed fluctuating poll. I believe this is a violation of the contract, and false advertising.

We had received a letter several times about bundling service. The manager (young lady) signed us up; we got 2 iPhones and was to come back Monday, 1-30-2012, to pick up a third phone for my wife. I was charged $204.88 for 2 phones, 2 covers, and 1 car charger. We were told if the phones did not work as supposed, we would get a full refund.

All weekend, I tried to get internet to pick up on phones. I even called tech support. On Monday, 1-30-2012, my wife and I took the phones back. The same lady said there was a restocking fee on items. We though maybe $25.00 or $30.00 total. But we were charged $179.95 for restocking fees. I told the lady that was a ripoff and that we were told a full refund. She said I signed a contract and that it stated so much on each item. We told her that she did not show or tell us about it.

(I paid $204.88, and 2 days and 10 hours later, I was charged $179.95 for a restocking fee, which was not disclosed.)

There was a traffic accident which tied up the southbound traffic. When I checked my phone at 1:45 pm, I was able to make calls. I regularly drive that roadway and have not previously had problems. My account is always paid on time. However, your network was a total failure. I would also like to complain that the person who answered 611 took over 10 minutes to provide me with the name and address on where to make a complaint. She offered no other options and I found this form through an internet blog unrelated to AT&T. She asked a lot of unnecessary questions and I had to tell her several times that I was not answering questions, but was looking for the answer to a question.

Installation date was 12-12-11. The first tech showed up, saw the job and decided it was too much for him and left. The next day, another tech showed up, did the install and after 3 hours left.

Later that night, we had a family night and all sat down to watch TV only to discover the TV is now broken. I looked behind the TV and there is broken plastic from the back of the TV laying on the TV stand and there is a box that was originally inside the TV that is now hanging out of the TV with broken wires and the u-verse cable is attached to the box hanging out of my TV. In addition, the DVR's in the bedrooms didn't work properly. I called AT&T immediately, and the nightmare began.

After several phone calls and being transferred from one department to another, AT&T ran my DVR boxes through a series of tests only to determine they were defective. 2 weeks have passed now and on 12-28-11, 15 days after the install, the new DVR finally arrived in the mail for me to install in the bedrooms so we can at least watch TV in there.

After 2 to 3 calls a week all averaging 1 to 2 hours being switched back and forth through departments, and lots of complaints, I still had a broken TV in the living room.

AT&T decided to send out someone to look at my TV. He arrived 1-13-12, 31 days after the install. It turns out, he was only the manager for the tech that was at my house. Of course, he is there to cover his behind and his tech. He proceeded to take many pictures with his cell phone of my TV and then sat there turning it off and on 20 or 30 times. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm trying to get that white line it is making with my cell phone." I knew right then I was in for a long drawn out fight with AT&T.

Just as I suspected, 2 days later, I learn that the manager who was at my house decided it was not AT&T's fault and my claim was denied. Are you kidding me?

I had a perfectly fine working TV. I never had 1 problem with it, and the very same day AT&T was here doing an install, all of a sudden, I now have a broken TV with broken plastic and stuff hanging out of the back of the TV and they want to convince me they didn't do it? Then they send me a bill in the mail for $240 saying I have to pay for a month in advance for service I'm not getting. Huh?

Today is 1-20-12. It has been 38 days since AT&T was in my home, 38 days with no TV in the living room, 38 days of calls and complaints that are getting me nowhere, 38 days of grief, 38 days of being forced to watch TV in our bedrooms, 38 days of no more family nights watching movies together.

I even went directly to the corporate headquarters. They gave me a case number and said someone would call me with in 48 hours. That was 12 days ago. No one has yet to contact me from there either. I made 5 phone calls in the last 12 days to corporate offices and still nothing. I just keep getting the same message, from the same lady. "He got your message. He will call you.". When? Next month? Next year?

I haven't had service since you were in my home yet you are expecting me to pay for this service? Really? I want my TV in the living room fixed. Put it back to where it was before you walked in my front door. Anyone who knows a good lawyer, send him my way, please.

By the way, I have been an AT&T customer since 1999. That is 13 years of loyalty from me and this is how they want to treat me?

Here is the latest update. On Thursday, 1-19-2012, I received a phone call from an AT&T manager. He told me AT&T is going to fix my TV and to please get an estimate of damages and costs to repair. Finally, some results, or so I thought.

On Saturday, 1-21-2012, I paid $45 to a TV repair tech to come out to my home and evaluate the TV. He, in fact, stated that the damage was caused by AT&T. When they screwed in their cable to the back of the TV, it shattered the plastic and when the box fell out, it caused a short in the TV. He told me it would take a few days to write up the actual estimate because he had to call Toshiba and get part numbers.

On Tuesday, 1-24-2012, the AT&T manager called me back asking if I got the estimates yet. I told him that I was waiting for it because the TV guy was waiting for a call back from Toshiba. He said to me, "not a problem. If I get it in time. fine and if I don't not to worry because AT&T will come up with a figure" and he will call me back later in the day with a settlement and that I could decide what to do at that point. He never called back.

On Wednesday, 1-25-2012, I called the manager back first thing in the morning and I was told it was his day off. I thought, "Oh great! More delays." So I waited for the next day.

On Thursday, 1-26-2012, I called the manager again first thing in the morning and he informed me that he talked to Mr. Markee at corporate and he is not going to honor the claim. I immediately called corporate myself. Mr Markee was on the phone but I was told he would call me right back.

On Thursday, 1-26-2012, I was contacted by Mr. Markee. He claimed to be the president of AT&T. But when I googled "who is the president of AT&T" a completely different name came up.

Randall L. Stephenson, is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of AT&T Inc. and has served in this capacity since June 2007.

John T. Stankey, is President and Chief Executive Officer, AT&T Business Solutions

John Stankey, President and CEO, AT&T Business Solutions, is responsible for AT&T's sales, marketing and customer service operations for retail business, government and wholesale customers of AT&T worldwide.

Interesting, nowhere listed in any of my searches did the name Mr. Markee come up. In addition, Mr. Markee left me a voice mail stating his name and position. I saved the voice mail.

Mr.Markee stated to me that he is standing behind the manager's decision, and that his notes in the system say that I told someone at AT&T my TV was working just fine. I laughed at him. Those are obviously false notes put in the system by an AT&T employee trying to cover their rear ends. Never did those words come out of my mouth to any AT&T employee

He also said to me that he didn't care that I was a long term customer and if I wanted to I could have U-verse removed from my home and go somewhere else.

He was a complete donkey, he was rude, short and when I said I will take this to the media, he said he didn't care if I went to the media. He will have his say too, and he will make sure everyone knows I made a false claim based on the notes in his system. But the notes in his system are false and made up by AT&T employees. When I said that he is forcing me to seek legal counsel, he said his lawyers will be much bigger than mine and he is not worried.

What kind of president of any company talks to their customers like that? Really? My only regret at this point was that I didn't record his conversation to me.

It is now Friday, 1-27-2012. My TV is still broken. It's been 46 days now since we have been able to sit in the living room and watch TV. Do you have any clue what it is like to have to sit in your bedroom for 45 days just to watch TV? I'm still forced to pay AT&T for service I'm not getting. I'm out $45 to a TV repair tech who clearly stated it was in fact AT&T's fault, and I'm extremely upset over this.

All I wanted was for my TV to be fixed and working just like it was before AT&T walked into my house.

In July, I received a past due bill for the amount of the modem. I contacted them and was told it would be taken care of, but they could not find the tracking label. Luckily, I had retained it on my e-mail. I was told I had to call UPS and find out what happened. The package had been delivered which I then had to call and explain to AT&T who then and only then verified the information. The lady I spoke to said she would credit the account and send me a final bill.

In August, when I had still not received the zero balance bill, I called back. This time, I was told it had not been credited and I owed them the money. I explained once again that they have the merchandise and to please contact the people in Texas for a confirmation and get it taken care of this time. I was told it would be. Well, believe it or not, in November, I received a letter from a collection agency called AFNI stating we owed AT&T the same sum of money.

I tried to call them and explain what was going on, but I was placed on hold twice for over 45 minutes. I called AT&T, and the lady in the collection area told me to pay the bill and they could not do anything else. I finally talked to some in customer service. She got the correct information and credited the bill on November 15. To this day, I have not received the zero balance bill.

We applied for a loan the other day and was told that they had dinged our credit. I called them and told them to take care of this. I was hung up on and transferred to people who were so rude and unhelpful. And I still do not have a resolve. I did nothing wrong in this situation, and we are being hurt by this negative reporting on my credit for something they did.

It is appalling to me that this kind of service is tolerated. I have tried to communicate with the consumer affairs department and the office of the president, but every time I asked for the address or phone number, I kept getting back to the same old customer service people who screwed this up to begin with. I want it fixed. I do not think that is to much to ask. I have spent many hours on this and have had many sleepless nights, not to mention the stress that has been endured and the aggravation. I have never been late on anything. Please check my credit in over 40 years. I just want it to be cleared.

This is clearly an effort to get a higher rate upfront, shades of bait and switch. I see from this site that others have had the same issue. This appears to be acceptable and planned behavior on the part of AT&T. To add insult to injury, I find my internet speed fluctuates and does not provide the speed I expected from U-Verse.

Last year, around Feb or March, I activated an 8th cell phone line being told I would get $45 off my bill. Every time they lowered my bill, they would increase in two months. The manager from AT&T wireless said, they made a mistake because I was already an existing customer. The manager Tom called AT&T U-verse and talked to their manager after I called numerous times and was told they were going to lower my bill down to $130 with HBO $115/3months which never happened. The U-verse manager agreed to lower to $130 12months because I was already getting discounts. They could not take $45 off the total bill. They said this around April or May 2011. My bill started just below $140 and has ballooned to almost $200.

AT&T U-verse wouldn't lower my bill even though AT&T wireless store has called them three more times. I am a disabled veteran and have had new injuries that require multiple surgeries just on my rt arm/shoulder/elbow. AT&T wireless told me my cell-phone drop calls all the time because of the manufacture of the iPhone. I have bought 3 iPhone 1s, four iPhone 3G, three iPhone 3GS, three iPhone 4s, 1 iPhone 4s, 5 Motorala razors, 1 mot oral sliver, two black bury curves, 15 Nokia phones, two Nokia 9500, Nokia 8280, 2 black jacks, 1 4g Google phone. We pay AT&T $400-$580/month. My wife and I drop so many calls that I actually got a prepaid alltel cell phone which is more reliable. The TV/Internet never worked as well as they said.

I video taped the TV freezing, not recording all the TV shows, and rebooting the TV. I ended getting time Warner today. AT&T U-verse agent said, "No offense but this is your fault." He claimed I had only been a customer since the end of 2010 and my bill was always at least $136 or higher. I told him I could take a picture of a bill from 2008, what day they installed it the first time, and that the bill was $114 in 2008. They always offer you a lower bill to keep you and then don't do it or raise it within two months. How did my bill go up every single month in the last 9 months when it was suppose to be $130 with tax if I had HBO.

If you look at my cell phone bill, you will see that I am calling back or the other person is calling me back 30-40%. AT&T tried to replace remote controls one time to fix the TV problems. The last year I called them at least twenty times and the agent said I didn't call enough because I took a break in September after the store agents couldn't get them to honor their promise. One store employee said he wasn't suppose to recommend it but suggested I call and cancel the service and then call AT&T UI-verse back and put it in my wife's name to get $400, a lower price, and more promotions when I renewed my contracts. Since I can't get 8 people to make all eight phones last 2 years I have been stuck.

I told them that their internal mistakes weren't my fault, and that I wanted what they quoted me at the time service was ordered. Of course they wouldn't budge, even after I told them I had recorded the conversation, and threatened to contact my state attorney general's office, citing "bait-n-switch" tactics. I listened to the old recording, and documented the indexes, where pertinent statements are made by the AT&T rep, regarding service costs. I also recorded the last call I made to AT&T.

Then they told me to call AT&T to resolve the issue. I’ve called numerous times to complain and paid two months bill for nothing because I was sold a phone that didn’t work and I purchased it November 26, 2011. I dealt in good faith with AT&T and they dealt in bad faith with me. And now they say that I have to pay $365.00 because I didn’t comply with the contract when they didn’t comply because they given me a phone that didn’t work at all. They wanted to give me another one after charging me the fees in which I wasn’t going to do because they should sell a new product in good condition and not default on their behalf. I never want their service and I will not pay for something that wasn’t working and the company didn’t want to work with me.

You can guess that never happened.

They had misplaced" my file. They had not begun the credit card process and hey had a restoral number for me. Yes. In separate calls within an hour I got all three answers! I then called AT&T, thinking I was "home free" with the "restoral number.” I spoke to four people in almost two hours time, each one promising to "fill in" the next customer service rep. They did not. I was told I need that code on top of my phone bill that was at my billing address hundreds of miles away.

They never heard of the collection company. They needed my husband's "permission" to talk about any of this. Paying? They needed to know the credit card I used and the exact amount I agreed to pay. Each had a different "entry" test. And, no, I was in a hurry and was not sure which card I used nor the exact amount other than $170 plus. Rep number 3 took pity and was ready to authorize restoral but then handed me off to number 4 who thought I was perpetrating some kind of fraud by (what?) giving my credit card to their collection agency and now wanting them to act on the restoral number I was given by agency. Nope. Could give him everything but exact dollar amount paid to them, so no go.

I called back the collection agency. They admitted they lied about the restoral number and had not handled the matter at all. I got from them the exact dollar amount and the last four digits of the card used. Called my credit card company and, yes, they had lodged a demand for that amount and added $4 more that I was never told about. Four days later. No service. No restoral number but my card charged. Yes, I can cancel this card and discussed refusing to allow the charge(s) to go through by doing so. That would leave two dependents living abroad high and dry and without a credit card for weeks so that was out.

No other service but AT&T. Sure, some laws were broken and I lost hours of my life with all these calls and am no closer to restoration than I was before. Guess, since I am leaving for home tonight, I might as well wait a few more days before beginning all over again. I’m calling Pakistani collection phone center, getting another phony restoral code number and connecting with four more AT&T reps who have no idea how restoral works and apologize (please stop this inane practice!) as they explain they have no idea how the company they employ does business, and accuse me of making this all up just to amuse myself. And, US government, this is how it works when you allow a company to have a monopoly and there are simply no agencies in place to take complaints and enforce consumer protection laws.

I will probably just have the phone and internet taken out and rely on my iPhone for emergencies--the only reason anyone has an expensive landline. Oh. Wait. My wireless service is AT&T. No attorney. Did not realize I wasted time writing this for a site trolling for clients.

AT&T cancelled my contract not from my side. So why they are charging me an early termination ? I have no knowledge that I update account with AT&T until November 2012. I just changed my cell phone which is not working properly without an increase in contract. My contract has finished on the end of 2011 not the end of 2012. I just requested to fix my cell which is not working properly. Do they send used phone?

I was requesting them since October 2011 that I want to close my AT&T account with full credit without any penalty. They are threating me that I have to pay penalty to close (early termination), plus they can mess up my credit report. How and why they charged for a new phone for replacement phone which is refurbished/used and has no back door and no battery?

I have big complaint to my work place. There is a lot of time and lot of stuffs missing from my desk. Last six months, my original cell phone (Motorola 4G) was missing/stolen and $300 cash was missing plus a lot of stuff are missing. That person put back my cell phone but not my $300. It is hurting me lot when no one understand me plus I am getting double financial damages from AT&T.

They closed my account since November 13, 2011. Still, they keep charging me until present and the collection department continues calling to collect the bill. Please help me out and stop all nonsense. This is big harassment and fraud management. This is not fair at all. I need full credit and close this account with zero balance and without any penalty. If you have any question, please contact me via above address.

Larry **, the floor supervisor/manager, gave instructions via Rex, the AT&T rep, that the RDS was not granted, yet, Mr. ** would not speak with me personally on the phone, and had Rex be the mediator. Rex's direct number is **. He was professional, as opposed to his floor supervisor. I am exhausted with AT&T deciding that customers have to remember their anniversary date and expiration dates of contracts, and then have to call in to cancel. God forbid if there's a tragedy during that time span, then AT&T supervisors demand that I act, not as a mourning human being, but as a robot, and continue to conduct business, and call your company within the allotted time parameter.

I need some relief from the bullying tactics of AT&T and Larry **, as I'm more than disappointed with your personnel who collect their paychecks, however, won't speak with a long-term customer personally, and has their subordinates do so as the messenger. Please contact me at your earliest convenience for any clarification. In the meantime, Google Clarksville, TN Toy Run deaths, and you'll have your evidence from my household, to see Jim **, who is the father of my three kids, perished on September 18, 2011, so you can find the legitimacy and ludicrous conduct on your company's part, during my time of anguish.

I called and requested to be put back to what I was originally on. I was never told anything about this by anyone. I would not have changed at the time I did if I had known. I have requested to talk to someone in the cooperate office. Still no call. I want to talk to someone about this charge that has been sent to me. This is not fair that customers have to go through this. I would like this resolved as soon as possible. Please someone give me a call.

I called AT&T back at the end of December to advise that I wanted to eliminate all of the U-Verse service. I told the representative that I wanted to keep my same phone number and transfer the line to their local service. I never received any paperwork in the mail or via email to take it to the UPS store, like I initially did. I decided to just go into a local UPS store in my community and return the equipment because I feared AT&T sending me some outrageous bill stating that I owed them money.

On January 17, 2012, I attempted to return the equipment and I was informed that my equipment could not be returned because they needed the account number and ban number I got on the phone with AT&T after holding for several minutes before a representative answered the phone. The agent came on the line and asked me for my phone number and apparently the home number given could not pull up my information. The representative placed me on hold and before I knew it, I was transferred back into an automated line and had to make my own selections. At no point did the representative alert/advise what she was doing. I ended up in the sales department and I spoke to someone by the name of Shelly or Shellyann, she transferred me to the U-Verse Retention Department. I spoke to a male representative by the name of Marcus.

Marcus seemed to be very empathetic and was pretty thorough in attempting to research things for me. Marcus was able to provide the account number to me so that I could return the U-Verse equipment. By this time, I had been on the phone with AT&T for over an hour literally. Now, the next issue that I had was somehow AT&T disconnected my home line and the order was never put through to transfer my number to a regular residential line. Mr. Marcus was very apologetic, however, this has not helped me.

He stated that he would submit my info to a department to have it investigated and have my account credited for the charges to by bill for a phone service that I have not had in a month. I informed Marcus that I was not happy with the resolution. For one, I work from home using the residential line. I have not been able to work, due to this matter. I requested to speak with a Supervisor. I was placed on hold and Marcus came back to the phone to tell me that the supervisor was on the line with another customer. He told me that a Supervisor would give me a call back. This conversation took place on January 17th, 2012.

I have yet to hear from anyone regarding my home phone service and have not been able to work from home. I am appalled at how I have been treated. I definitely feel like I should be compensated in some way for the way I have been treated as a customer not to mention the fact that I am still without a home phone.

I have wasted so much time in dealing with them, they kept me waiting and bounced my call back and forth to whoever is responsible. I even faxed them the copy of my bank statement showing the ATT payment deductions. This situation is stressing me so much. Please help me. I don't know where to complain. It seems like ATT is not taking this matter into consideration. Please help me. Thank you very much. I hope to hear from you.

Anyway, I finally cancelled at the beginning of Dec 2011. I had paid my bill already so I received an updated bill saying I had $19.30 credit in the middle of Dec. I waited until Jan 9 to call for my refund and was told they would process it and send it out within 2 weeks. Ten days later, I receive another notice lowering my refund amount by $1.00 for an early termination fee. It irked me because I had no contract and I thought if they charge everyone $1.00, they are making millions on that. They rescinded the $1.00 fee and I asked how much longer till my refund.

Anyway, this is where my hell began. I got switched 4 times and the last was supposed to be a supervisor named Terry. He told me my billing was in the Investigative Department and they felt that I was not owed the full amount of the money. I asked how much they owed me and he could not say or do anything about it as they were investigating. (I could not believe they are investigating $19 stinking dollars). I asked him if this meant they will be billing me for more as all my transactions seemed to up the billings. He could not say. I even asked if he would take a bet with me that instead of a refund I would get a bill. He laughed because he knows but doesn't want to say.

AT&T sucks in their customer service and billing departments. They know nothing, see nothing, hear nothing and are just plain evil. Do not get sucked into this company as you will be living in a black hole. Just read some of the other complaints and know they are all telling the truth. For a big Corp. they are the worst. Good luck to all the others.

After extended debate over the phone, they terminated the service and was sent a refund for $44.52. Now a month later, I received another final bill for $120! This is supposedly for ending the contract early. I have been disputing these charges for days now. I do not have a verbal or written contract with them. I just don't know what to do at this point. I am afraid they are going to send it for collections and ruin my credit. Any suggestion please?

When I agreed to allow AT&T to switch me to a faster internet speed, I had no way of knowing the line would not support the faster speed. However, during the 5 month period from July 2011 until December 2011, I was basically without internet service between calls to AT&T technical services to get me back on line. However, as stated earlier, the connection would not hold. All I want is to be fair and equitable as I would hope AT&T would want. There is no question that AT&T caused me this problem. It is unfortunate that it took 5 months to get the problem resolved, but it is certainly not because I didn't make an effort. I did not receive the service I paid for during that 5 month period.

Consequently, I believe I should be credited with the $38 internet charge for that period which amounts to $190. The time I spent on the phone talking to technical representatives, plus the cost of a new Motorola AT&T modem, which in the end I did not need, coupled with the aggravation of not having internet service for 5 months, amounts to much more than $190. Today is January 16, 2012. It is a holiday for me. I spent over an hour this morning with AT&T. I talked to 5 different people. I was disconnected once during the transferring call process only to have to spend more time making this appeal. All AT&T representatives were very nice and the gentlemen this morning gave me a $40 credit for the trouble I have had. The bottom line from my standpoint is that AT&T contacted me and offered something they couldn't deliver. It comes down to what is right and what is wrong. I believe the right thing is for me to receive $190 credit on my bill for AT&T's mistake.

Apparently, they have so many complaints they have created a "special complaint section" to painfully funnel you to when you call. The customer service rep there is very rude and short. He could care less how long or how loyal a customer you have been. He talks over you and offers to cancel your service as long as you pay all the penalties! I told this Bob that my gripe was not against AT&T's right to limit high data users, but I paid for 3GB by their own billing standards and I should be allowed to use this amount without the throttling penalty. Bob was so rude as he stated I could be expected in the near future to be throttled at any arbitrary data use AT&T felt like. He specifically said it could be the first 150 MB as he chuckled. Again, he offered to cancel me or to place me on a scaled plan, basically strong-arming me to relinquish a plan they used to entice me to sign a contract just two years earlier.

I am sure this will be litigated via some class action because it is so overtly wrong. I usually do not sign into class action like these because only the lawyers get any return. In this case, however, I will drink my free Starbucks Latte purchased with my coupon awarded from the class action and I will toast the law firm who won 785 million in damages from AT&T. Good job AT&T.

I still have a hole in one outside wall that when the installer drilled the hole, he damaged a toy box and the trim in the house. The installer then did not use the hole he drilled. When installing the dish, they were ask not to install a dish on my brand new roof but he still installed it on the roof. All these problems were caused in there attempt to install internet and satellite tv service. When the installer was finished, I refused to sign his paper work. I still do not have internet service which after six complains they still charge me for.

Well, on December 29, I called the phone numbers 1877-999-1085 and 1877-999-1083. The person who answered transferred me, put me on hold, returned after a few minutes, and finally listened to my story. Again, I was put on hold, she transferred me, put me on hold, returned after a few minutes, and finally listened to my story. And the customer representative explained that the amount of $149.00 was the visit of the technician in my house. I immediately responded, "What technician?" It was my husband who installed the new system.

I requested the representative to cancel my account. The customer representative asked me why. I explained the problems: overcharged internet service, digital voice not ordered, and no difference between my previous service to the new service. The representative offered help to check what's going on, and after few minutes, said the charge was high because of the technician's visit and installation which totaled $149.00. I immediately responded that my husband was the person who installed the new system.

The representative again put me on hold, and when she was back, she said she would request the cancellation of this amount because it was a mistake, and I have to pay only $87.63 plus $5.00 if I pay by phone with her. I agreed, but the representative told me because I had and I have an excellent payment history, she would not charge this 5.00 fee. I paid $87.63, and I requested the confirmation number. (Paid 12/30/2011 - 1:11 PM)

U-verse internet charges (correct charges) 48.00

What kind of joke is this? First, the customer representatives are playing ping pong with customers and others to get rid of the problem, because people think that by speaking accents, they were going to intimidate and silence without complaining. I'm not illegal, and I do not have to keep quiet. I have to denounce the lack of professionalism that was representative of this lying. I was deceived, disrespected, cheated and stolen from without the slightest sense of ethics, subdued the ability of the client. How many times this has happened to other people?

As is always announced in advance of any conversation by the attendant, AT&T's entire conversation will be recorded for quality control. Please check who was the representative who helped on December 30, 2011 with the confirmation number somebody signed the ticket. I've lived in different countries, and it is the first time I felt the violation of my rights as a consumer with regard to the lies and deceit when I was just asking for a solution.

I've had no luck speaking to a "true" manager at AT&T and would like to file a complaint. I will appeal for somebody in high position. I have my cellular phone bill with the numbers I have been calling. Just one call lasting 69 minutes is ridiculous.

I am outraged, infuriated, and disappointed! On January 12, 2012, I called in to check on one of my lines. This is one of four lines that I have under my social security number. As an owner of a home-based business, I took this line out over eight years ago. I often assign it to my pre-diem worker. I allow them access to speak with customer service to question and clarify any charges that are unfamiliar to them. However, I am legally and ultimately responsible for all four lines. I set all four accounts up with my email and password.

At some point in the past, the person who has my 305-** line was allowed to change my pass code and email. This person, Tara **, is no longer associated with me or my business. Yet, when I called in to terminate the services, I was flabbergasted when I was told that I was locked out of this account. Apparently, Ms. Tara had been allowed to change all of my access codes and place them under her control. Even with me repeatedly questioning each of the rep as to how someone with no SS number on file with A&T and no verification of my personal data could be allowed to usurp my data on file and without any verification from me.

I spoke with Shelby who also told me that I could not have access to my account. After getting nowhere with her, except a robotic reply, I asked to speak to someone else.

I spoke with Antwan. I again explained and identified my self. I got nowhere with him! I asked to speak with another rep who would hear my issue which I thought was quite simple. I am the account holder. After all, AT&T has my SS number, DOB, mother's maiden name, and my pass code. I was transferred to Cindy; still to no avail.

I am infuriated by the time I asked to speak with a manager. I next spoke with Kerry **, the manager. I again encountered barriers and robotic excuses. It was as if the thief had more power and control than me, the AT&T account holder. I was told by Kerry that I was still responsible for the phone service, yet she would not go in and switch my AT&T service of 305-** back under my access. Finally, I demanded to speak with Kerry's manager. Her name was Amanda, the Resolution Rep.

When Amanda contacted me, she had been briefed by Kerry. I again explained this bizarre incident and the fact that a person was allowed to change personal contact data without any insight that AT&T did not have her personal data on file. How could this be?! This is a living nightmare. This is a hell of a deal that someone could just switch out the actual account owner's information and replace it with their own when it was not their credit that was used to be worthy of ownership of the service.

With all due respect, Kerry did seem to listen and empathize. She asked me many critical questions which verified who I was. I gave her my account number and Ms. Tara's email. But because I was not able to give her Ms. Tara's pass code that she had changed from my account pass code, I was still denied access to my AT&T phone account.

This is absurd! This account is my account! I should not have to be put through this kind of duress! Did the AT&T reps put Ms. Tara through such a grueling ordeal? I was told that Ms. Tara did not have to verify my personal identification data. Did anyone ever vetted this person to provide my personal identifying information to make such change?

In the end, I got nowhere with Amanda. I was told that she could not do anything more, because she had no way of identifying that the person she was talking with is me, Yvonne **. What? Does that make any sense to you? Even when a person call a bank, Social Security Administration, or the IRS, they have ways of identifying the person on the other end of the phone. Here we are talking about a phone, not one's taxes or benefits! I am baffled and disappointed with AT&T!

I spoke to Dedra ** on Jan 12, 2012 who refused to assist in the matter stating that I have used 2GB of data of my unlimited plan and that’s why my connection is being affected. I requested a copy of my signed contract which AT&T stated they cannot provide, as well as maybe any credits that they can give me to accommodate for which AT&T has refused. AT&T has failed to provide me with a reasonable explanation as to why I am being targeted by them. My understating is that current AT&T data plans limit at 2GB of data per billing cycle. So, if I have an unlimited data plan, and have only used 2GB of data, then why is my internet connection being affected?

Thank God we have more than one phone line. The lady from AT&T had him download an app on my business computer and then hook his phone up to it to see if doing this would help fix his phone. Did not work. So, after about a week of going back and forth and spending a lot of time on hold or with different departments, they said we needed to send it to the warranty dept. We did. They sent us second phone. Another phone. A re-furbished phone, same kind. It lasted 3 days. It sat on my desk trying to charge I guess. It never worked or even charged up. Would not even turn on. So, they sent a battery. Still did not work. Then they tell us we need to send that one back and get another one, of the same kind of course.

Okay, we sent phone number 2 back and they send us another Galaxy. Phone number 3 works fine, but there is a very unhappy ending. They tell me that phone number 2 (the one I had for about 3 days and never worked) had water damage and the warranty does not cover water damage and they will be charging my account $350.00 for a fee. The phone never was near water. They sent phone number 2 back as if to say, "See the tiny little pink stripe on the very edge of the corner of this square white piece." That’s how we can charge you for water damage. Well, I know the rules of **. I was about to lose it to say the least. So I sent the phone off to Samsung. I told them what it was doing and how AT&T was saying there was water damage. Samsung sent me a call tag for phone number 2 (free shipping both ways, second day air). They had it back to me working like new in less than 5 days with an invoice marked “no charge for repair.” Bad power board was replaced.

I have been having problems with this model and it is under warranty. This is where I call ** on AT&T. But they are still going to charge me for phone number 2. I wanted to give them the 3rd phone they sent me back because I did not want them calling me a liar about phone number 2. It works great. I have had no problems with the phone. Phone number 2 is the one my son has been using since Samsung fixed it. So now I am being charged for two phones. AT&T will not take phone number 3 back. After using my outside voice on those dumb ** customer service reps and warranty department people from another country I can not understand half the time, I am still fighting with them over this phone.

I don't know if many people have had to go through this between having to be on hold for hours at a time and then take time out of work to go to one of the stores and watch the kid there be on hold for another hour. I tell you what, I wish they would drop off the face of the earth! My God, I could have gone to Wal-Mart and bought a brand new phone that would work for under $100. If that damn thing went in the water or got wet I never would have sent it in to AT&T. I would have bought a new one on eBay or something. The point is Samsung fixed it at no charge and stated that it was not water damage. But AT&T will not give me a credit or take the phone back. I can't afford to pay that kind of money. I call ** on them and then some. I am not paying for that damn phone!

I will have my service turned off for my business and home this month and switch to another company that actually gives a ** about their customers. I am done with that company. If that’s what you want to call them. I should have done my home work on them. As far as I can tell, now they are the worst in customer service and the worst in their network coverage. My business is less than 10 feet away from a tower and I can't even get one bar on my phone. Really. Oh, for your information the girl at the store told me if a phone ever gets wet and that white strip turns red, just take a Q-tip with some bleach on it and wipe it. It will turn back white. Really!

The situation: On December 30, a friend who was staying a few days wanted to connect to my internet service. The network password I had been given by ConnecTech on the 12.04.11 contact showed as invalid. Through an automated system with AT&T internet services, I was given a new password which also did not work. Between 3pm to 4pm EST, I contacted ConnecTech (866-470-4367) three times in efforts to resolve the situation.

The problem: On the first call to ConnecTech, after I had explained the reason for my call, the technician questioned the status of the lights on the Gateway modem, to which I advised all were lit green. The technician was persistent in verifying the lights were green. I again assured her they were and that I was only requesting assistance with a password for the purpose mentioned above. I questioned the technician if she would address my specific issue to which she said she needed to troubleshoot the line. Again, I explained there was no problem whatsoever with the service during which the technician overspoke me. All of a sudden, the line was dead with dial tone soon to follow.

I called ConnecTech again. The gentleman who answered the call couldn’t get past my billing telephone number, repeatedly advising me he could not understand me. Having worked for years in customer service positions with AT&T/Pacific Telesis/Bell South, I know the importance of speaking slowly and clearly. Such was my speech with both calls. The technician kept saying he could not understand me and not that he couldn’t hear me. Once again, all of a sudden, the line went dead.

I called again, listened to the recorded menu options, and was able to obtain a new password. Unfortunately, that password didn’t work either. When I called again, I reached a third technician whose name I couldn’t understand because of the thick accent and who couldn’t understand me. At this point, my friend, who had simply asked to have access to my internet, told me not to bother, so I gave up and hung up the phone. ConnecTech proved to me they cannot provide the service as prescribed.

The predicament: I venture to say that the problems I incurred were due to lack of communications between myself and the ConnecTech employees who spoke extremely broken English and had trouble interpreting my English.

Customer service in AT&T is the worst. Every time I call, I get long menu that does not get me anywhere. I want reimbursement for the time I waste on the phone line calling AT&T.

An AT&T representative stated, “We will put a block on your long distance calls if you don't pay this balance.” I stated I want that because I refused to pay them again and I had a cell phone and didn't need any long distance service on my telephone. When I had made contact to NCO Financial services, they told me they no longer handle this debt and it was sent to some other debt collector. When I had contacted the second office, I was told this company was no longer in service and I couldn't reach anyone at that office.

I made several attempts to see if AT&T still had the block on my phone in the mid-to late 90's and the block was still on my phone and the block was still there. In March of 2011, I checked the block again and called pre-paid legal service which is long distance. I stated to the person whom took the call that I would hang up and call her right back on my cell phone, not knowing that this block had been removed (see March11, 2011, billing date statement). I had begun searching for other statements and had a few other statements with charges. I noticed that AT&T had placed higher figures for long distance services than the March statement and I hadn't made any calls as you see listed on these statements sent with this complaint.

I have sent the money they demanded, and feel, since this phone was stolen, and International calls were the reason, which in over 10 years with them, I never once had any roaming or International calls, there should have been obvious irregular activities. In more than 10 years with them, I never had a bill in excess of $100.00, and an average bill of $65.00 or less. Anyway, long story short, I am paying off my credit card for the remainder of this bill, and would really like to recover any of the $998.00 back, which they have collected. On my later calls to them, they were rude, and informed my wife that these charges may go to collections at anytime, even prior to the amount being due.

Finally, one rep actually pulled up the shipment with tracking number and the name and address. I asked her why they allowed a person to do that without notifying me at all. Now, my phone is shut off for something that I didn't do and they were the ones who made the mistake, so why not send her a bill for the stuff she opened since they already had her address and name but nope it was my problem. So, I talked to the fraud department and the rep was very rude and condescending and told me that I didn't have a case for fraud because I knew her. Wow! people defraud people all the time whether they know each other or not. Fraud is fraud.

Now, I have a 3000 dollar bill that I can't pay and was told that I would have to press charges on her and I understand that but their mistake caused all this, so how is it fair that nothing is done to AT&T for messing up my credit and shut my phone off. This is bad business and AT&T should be ashamed. I will never do business with them again and I will tell anyone who will listen to not give them their business.

We could no longer depend on AT&T and after hearing from so many people how great Verizon was, we chose to make a change for the better. We did visit an AT&T store for help--they rebooted our phones and that didn't help. Customer service was of no help. They just keep saying how sorry they are. Turning the phones on and off is not the solution either. They tried that one on us too. Enough.

Everything has changed now. I cannot go back to my original plan because it has expired, even though we have been customers since 2001. I will take this phone back, and I will not stay with them, and they will be reported to the Better Business Bureau, which I am a member of. Whatever happened to good customer service. You are told one thing, and they do not keep their word. It's just, "well I'm sorry the salesperson told you wrong". Maybe I will take them to "2 wants to know". I have had enough. I do not want to ever use them again.

Contacted via phone led to nothing but run around, long waits, hang ups, and wasted time.

I was saving to pay it so I can get back into business and they sent me a bill a month later for $490.00! And a day later, I got a letter from collection agency. So, I called them again and demanded that they send me an itemized bill so I can clearly see what they're charging me for. He said he could send me the last 3 bills. But if I wanted my same phone number, I would have to cough up $390.00. I thought I was going crazy. Long distance was free except for international, so what are they charging me for. I think someone should investigate them. Now that I saw everyone else’s complaint, I know that I'm not alone.

Your phones do not allow this for them. We drop calls all the time and your 411 really needs to be a person on the other end. My stepfather of 23 years is dying of liver cancer and my mom was trying to let me know what hospital he was rushed to but the phone would lose signal over and over again so I called 1411 to get the number of the hospital he is at. I tell the automated service the name of the hospital and it comes up with KFC chicken. Now where on God's green earth do you get KFC for community hospital? That was not the first time that has happened to me or my kids either. At least with Verizon, you get a person on the other end and you don't have to worry about a signal or dropping calls.

You all really need to better your service. My stepfather is dying and I have to wonder if I get a call if it will drop and I have to stop somewhere to use another phone of someone else's. I should be able to use mine. After all, that is what I pay for a phone for, so I can use it. If one of my kids got hurt and the phone would not hold a call, oh boy! Your service really is not a good one at all, not with a plan and not through straight talk either. About the only thing I would do is give it to my dogs for a chew toy. I mean after all, you can't use it half the time anyway. Thank you very much.

Since my current service provides unlimited (free) calls to Canada/Mexico if the contract ends early (i.e. February 2012), I will have to pay at least $250 more in order to buy an equivalent service until the original termination date (i.e. July 2012).

I'm okay with the service being off if I didn't pay! Fine! Well, as I was one month behind, I decided to pay the bill in full. I logged into my AT&T account at 2am to check my balance which was $380 (yeah, I know a lot for only two lines on a family plan), but okay, so what? I'll pay it. I woke up to catch the store when it opens because I have work. Check my online account again before stopping in my bank. I went to AT&T, paid $380 cash and waited for my phone to b reactivated! Got to work to check my online account and what do you know, my account all of a sudden is now cancelled altogether in a matter of 5 hours.

I called to see what was going on and these creeps tell him I now have to pay a $300 deposit to restore service! This is after the fact that I just paid $380! To make things worse, I asked when was my service cancelled. The rep says today. I'm like I paid today! She says, "Well, it was after the account was cancelled." I tell her, "Well, not once have I been notified of a cancellation date!" The funny thing is she didn't know either! Now they're trying to make me pay another $300 deposit just to restart my service which also means another contract! You got to b kidding me! I'll give that $300 gladly to someone else. Never will I have AT&T service again in my life!

On my next statement, I got charged for over $1k in phone charges including usage as well as these phones. I called and disputed. The case got pushed to fraud. Shortly after, AT&T called and said, “Well, because we did not receive the phones back, this is not fraud and you're liable for these charges.” I clearly stated that I never authorized these phones to be shipped and was not even home to sign for these phones. Why am I liable? I got the runaround from agents. One agent said, “Oh, it looks like this was erroneously charged to your account.” Then another agent said, “Your daughter authorized these phones.” #1, I do not have a daughter. And #2, I don't have anyone listed in my account except me.

• Pray, have patience, and persevere.

Multiple calls have been made to AT&T, but no success has been achieved. We've been hung-up on repeatedly when requesting a supervisor, or placed into mailboxes, some full and others, where a message could be left. No calls are ever returned. What kind of a way is this to run a company? All these billing errors lead one to conclude that it isn't an accident. We wonder how many others have experienced similar problems, cancelled due to poor service, and many months later received a bill for disconnection charges. There outta be a law preventing such travesties. I still haven't gotten any resolution as of today, 12/29/11.

After reviewing the data usage for the said line on AT&T's website, it was listed at 2079 MB with 20 of 31 days in the billing cycle already passed. This to me did not appear to be enough to classify the said line as being in the top 5% of all data users. I found it very difficult to believe that using roughly 2 GB of data would put you into that category. Naturally, I was inclined to call AT&T Wireless Customer Service to inquire as to the details of their throttling policy.

During the call, I was informed that the said line was in fact in the top 5% of user data consumption. When I expressed my disbelief that this was an accurate assessment of our usage, I was told by the representative that it was determined by individual markets (i.e. our line was in the top 5% of users in our city) as opposed to a national average amongst all AT&T customers.

The representative then went on to tell me just how slow the speeds would be throttled to if we continued the trend of data usage on that line. Specifically, the representative stated our connection would be "similar to dial-up speeds" which is absurd. After presenting this horrible fate, the representative tried to sell me on moving from our unlimited data plans to a tiered data plan as this would prevent us from ever being throttled.

She then went on to state that we are currently paying $30/month for unlimited data and that switching to the $25/month 2 GB plan plus $10 for each additional GB would be the best option for us. She also reiterated that this would prevent throttling and that it would only be an extra $5/month for 3GB of data which is sufficient for us based on past usage. At this point, I expressed my discontent with the business practices of AT&T and thanked the representative for her time as she clearly had nothing else to offer me other than the option to be stripped from my grandfathered unlimited data plan.

I felt that it was ethically wrong for AT&T to first "grandfather" it's long time customers with unlimited data plans only to passively coerce them out of those plans later on because they have surpassed the levels of usage of the new plans the company has to offer. This, to me, is bad business. In a nutshell, we are on a grandfathered unlimited plan. We were immediately threatened with negative consequences the moment we surpassed the amount of usage of AT&T Wireless' current tiered plan, only to be presented with the opportunity to pay more to prevent those consequences.

But to top it off, I was told that when I am in an area where I only have one bar, the phone battery is working harder to find a signal. I mean, do they really think I am stupid? I have been a loyal customer to AT&T for over 15 years, through all of the buy-outs, name changes, and every other thing they have been through, not to mention the swapping out of 3 different Blackberrys. And now they are not willing to give me an update in order to keep a loyal customer. I am so sick of AT&T that as soon as my contract is over, I am done! They have no loyalty to their customers whatsoever. Try another phone carrier before AT&T takes it from me, because they treat you as if you are stupid!

I have a car that is being shipped that is possibly sitting in a customs clearing house in Calgary. I believe that there is a message on my voice mail stating a phone number and place where the car is. The problem is that this is Christmas, and the car carrier will not return my calls. The clearing house will charge me $100 a day for each day they have to keep my car!

I related this to AT&T. I tried being civil; I begged, pleaded, abused, and swore at them and threatened to sue. The robot customer service reps just said that there was nothing they could do and that I had to come back to the USA to reactivate my voice mail. They would ask me if there was anything else that they could assist me with and to have a nice day. You can imagine my four-letter word responses.

I have moved to Calgary and am on long-term assignment! I may not be back in the USA for many months. I planned on keeping my phone for a few months so, you guessed it, I could access my voice mail and get calls. I would then cancel my account as I got established in Canada.

I think that they screwed my contract up for this phone and I have tried to contact by internet and there is no way to get somebody to help. Please help.

I have called every month, and AT&T continues to do everything they can to avoid serving their customers. Just last month(November), I called about my $100+ bill.The guy said he would remove an amount from my bill and that I pay the difference. I followed his instructions, and my December bill shows up with the difference as an "overdue amount." The bill is well in excess of $100. and nobody at AT&T will help.

When they came to connect U-verse, two guys were here for several hours. My son watched as they finally cut all 3 ground lines to our house and left. My wife and I are both diabetic and had no phone, internet or anything until 8:30pm that night when a lady came and admitted that they had cut everything and done nothing. That was my first experience, and it has gone downhill from there.

Yesterday(December 22), I started at 3 pm. Finally at 3:15pm (after the robot carousel that does nothing but delay the caller), Grace said, "I am having an executive call you in the next 2 hours." Nobody ever called at all! AT&T has become the nightmare they used to be when I left them for lack of service.

I am preparing all of my recordings and records for the news media where I have many friends. I will also contact the Attorney General of Texas about their blatant fraud. They lie, cheat, steal, and misrepresent their services and billing. All the while, they ignore their customers. This is the absolute worst service I have ever had from any company in my 61 years. It's true, folks. These corporations have all the rights, and we have none. I put "one star"on the rating. It should be zero stars, but the system won't allow it.

I moved back to Alaska and have had to go into AT&T store here with similar problems with this cellphone. Meanwhile, as before the workers in the store knew very little knowledge on how to correct cellphone issues and the particular guy whispered that AT&T customers were stupid when it comes to iPhone. He stated that's why he and his co workers bought the android cellphones because they are supposed to be great.

He then told me that the only difference between my I phone 3 & 4 was that the 4 was 4 times faster. I informed him that I have been a valuable and loyal customer for years. He actually told me that he really could care less. As my boyfriend and I stood there, we were astounded at what this young man was saying. I wanted to change to the android LTE due to dissatisfaction with the 4G. I previously owned two 3G cellphones. Are we as customers supposed to put up with this unsatisfactory customer service and lack of willing to please the customer ?

They are going to shut off my service for being three days late, and they want only a cash payment with no AT&T place to pay in my town. Also they still cannot tell me why my bill went from $49 a month to $132, then the last one being $156. I talked to three departments and no department could tell me why my bill was that high. They only told me that I had to pay it, and I had to pay it today. Also they told me it had to be paid in cash.

AT&T insists that they made three credits to my account for $100 each, but cannot account for my payments that I made to to them. I can't read the A&TT bills, AT&T personnel can't read the AT&T bills. No one can figure out an AT&T bill. I want a full accounting, by calendar month, of my bills, what I paid, and what went on. I do not believe that I owe AT&T $200 and their own person said the same. I am upset, feel threatened and feel that I am being strong armed for AT&T's mistakes, bizarre billing charges and inexplicable billing errors. I cannot afford to suddenly come up with $200 to pay off this, especially since AT&T cannot explain the problems with their billing errors.

She has never contacted me on time until I started to say, "I am cancelling my account and I will contact the CEO of the company." Finally, I got so pissed off and tired of these games, I wrote six different letters to the top people in the company including the CEO, CFO, VP, etc. I received a phone call from some *** lady. She said, "All I can do is $57.99 plus, the taxes." Basically, she was still denying the whole thing. And she added saying "this is a promotion only, I will need to make the regular charges apply after six months." I asked for their legal department's number, as I wanted to escalate it to my attorney. I repeated myself saying, "Listen, your rep is emailing me with all this *** stories. Moreover, I recorded this conversation and I have the full evidence and you are still telling me I will pay something different than what she said?" And the answer was, "I can't do anything else." I said "Okay, thanks. I am letting the attorney to be involved."

Five minutes later, some other AT&T associate called from retention department. She said, "oh, I will give you credit, so your bill will be what you were promised but you will pay the regular fees after six months." What can I say more? AT&T is a company that I will never ever deal in my life again. I called them, received a price offer for both internet and TV service, was told $57.99 monthly without any promotion, period or any installation fees, Bill came as $172, called them, they dropped the bill to $69.99 for only one month, I wrote letters to CEO's, CFO's and VP's. Now (after all this headache), I am going to pay $57.99 monthly and I have to switch back to Comcast in 6 months as they won't honor what was promised.

What really sad is that the e-mails I have from their representative and also the conversation I recorded on my MP3 player (Oh yes, I did record it, because I knew they were going to lie to keep you on board) did not help me to defend my rights. I hate AT&T so badly, I wish I had a good attorney and put these people in trouble. Please make sure you have some sort of evidence when you talk to a sales rep on the phone as they are good in lying.

I did just as I was advised to do. I took my computer to Best Buy and requested the data back up. Upon completion of the data back up, I contacted AT&T Connect Tech for the completion of the repair with no avail. I later learned that my Microsoft Office was also removed with the back up. I was then advised by AT&T that it was a part of "sweeping my computer" and it would have to be reinstalled. But they could not do it. Since the Microsoft Office software was put on by a previous employer, I had to make the purchase for the download. I purchased Microsoft Office 2010 as was previously installed on my computer for $99.95 and attempted to download the software unsuccessfully. I then contacted Microsoft who assisted me and was told that my Windows Installer had been removed from my computer preventing the download and was the nature of my problem.

I spent $154.54 with Best Buy and $99.95 for Microsoft Office 2010 for no reason at all. AT&T's technicians were the only ones who worked on my computer and advised me to follow the instructions for repair. I pay them monthly and for what? I believe that they created the problem and I want my money refunded. They should have been knowledgeable enough to know that the problem was my operating system and I could have contact Microsoft initially and saved $200 plus. Since then, I have been on the phone with AT&T speaking to this one and that one, transferred here and there and no one seems to be able to help me. Just today alone, I contacted AT&T at 9:17 am and completed the run around at 1:19 pm. My problem is still a mute point and I can't get to a claims department to be reimbursed.

I have been referred from ** to ** back to **; I was then transferred to ** and then to **; I was then transferred to ** and **. I have spoken with Bill, Sam, Chanell, Renita (ID number **) and many other useless employees. One employee, in the midst of transferring me, said he was on hold with the distant department but he couldn't hold any longer. So, I would have to call back later. What kind of customer service is this? I retired from AT&T but most of my time was with Southern Bell and BellSouth then AT&T. Things have certainly changed since those days. Heads would have rolled if a customer experienced such service. Unfortunately, I am not getting anywhere with this problem by phone but I need to file a claim for reimbursement of funds spent erroneously, so I am soliciting your assistance. I have included my contact information below. Please help me! I’m out of $254.49 without a cause.

Since that time, I have yet to have a bill that reflects your promotion that I was stated over the phone, when I signed up, and switched over to your service. Although I was told by the customer service reps month after month that my bill would be adjusted for the next billing cycle, it never was. On each occasion after phoning AT&T and speaking with someone, I have paid my bill which was more than double the amount that I agreed to pay at the very beginning. In fact, the only option that your reps have offered me was to pay exorbitant amount of fees to cancel, or keep paying the inflated cost.

To be clear, I did not, and would not have signed up for a $50 per month internet service, since I already had service and all the equipment I needed. As a last resort, I am asking that you review and adjust my bill to what I was first quoted, and happily agreed to pay back in March 2011. I have been patient with your company even though they threatened to send me to collections, even though your customer service rep told me that I had a zero balance at the time of cancellation, on 11/2/11.

I take my financial obligations seriously, and I don't appreciate being threatened in this way, by a company that would not honor the rates promised and advertised, to their customer. I have never paid a bill past due with your company, unless I was directed by a customer service rep not to, or to pay a lesser amount. I have held up my end of your obligation, but in lieu of you failing to do as you promise, I have canceled my service with your company, and have had a lot of money go to waste.

I am writing this letter regarding a request for a review of my account to be taken. If possible, as I have been told, my bill would be adjusted multiple times by your customer service reps. I insist that I be reimbursed of the over payments for the first 6 months. Furthermore, I was recently informed that my credit may have been put in jeopardy, due to your company's erroneous practices. I hope this is not the case. I once again have been patient to an extraordinary degree with AT&T. I have done every thing I was instructed, but you have not. I humbly ask that someone review and repair this damage and mistake. I expect action to be taken immediately.

The other day they sent me this offer for the phone. So, I called them to see if can extend the current contract for the phone which would mean that now I would be with them for 3 years and I would also have to purchase a data plan because its a smartphone. The sales rep told me they could not do it because I wasn't due for an upgrade on that line until Sept 2012. Now my problem is that I am already paying for a line not in use, and online that same phone is $19.99 with a 2yr contract. I explained to the rep that I was even willing to pay the $19.99 for the phone with the two year contract. She then continued to explain to me that the only way I could get a phone for that line was to buy a phone at full price. Now the range in price for all phones is $349.00 and better.

I'm definitely not willing to pay that price for a phone on a line that I am already in contract with and paying for monthly. Its totally unfair that I am paying for a service that I cant use and I have to continue paying for it. Then if I want to use it I have to pay that much money for a phone and the data package that I would have to get to maintain the phone. I think AT*T could have honored their offer to me or accepted my offer to pay for the phone because in either way its a win win situation for them.

As for now I am stuck paying for the service and can't even use it until that contract is up in a year. If I want there offer for the free phone, I would have to open up a fourth line and then pay for the package and still pay for the 3rd line that is not in use. How is that fair? I pay my bill every month and for the most part I am happy with AT&T. But just by them not even trying to work something out with me make me question whether I will stay with them when all of my contracts are up. Extortion is what it is and they really are wrong for this. No matter which option we could have went with they are and would have definitely benefited from.

In my case, I fought to be grandfathered into the new system policy based on the fact I had records/bills reflecting the $30.00 charge for Unlimited Data Access. However, AT&T has their online system programmed to remove the Unlimited Data Plan when an upgraded is processed in their system. The customer only has a max of 2GB for a fee of $25.00 when the Unlimited Data Plan was $30.00. The customer will be charged $10 per GB after that. The customer is being told AT&T no longer offers an Unlimited Plan, when actually the codes can be placed in the system to offer the customer the Unlimited Plan. The system does states that if the customer wishes to remain on their current plan, it would be highlighted below. However, nothing is there to select. If the customer continues to process the order with the only 2GB plan option shown, they have selected a change in the plan and their features will be adjusted to the new rate.

Only at the time of activation of the new device can the customer request the old Unlimited Plan. If the customer is not aware of their rights in regard to this option at that time the new plan is officially locked in, there is something wrong with the survey and the pricing scale in my opinion. Only time will reflect the customer response to the added charges on their bills.

AT&T now claims I owe them $734.08 (based on a letter from Southwest Credit System, client no. 33940204), and has turned me over to collections (AT&T creditor account no. 685968781). I called the agency to try to explain the situation, and told them I would be happy to pay the approximately $50 I owe AT&T for the 1 month of cellphone service I did not pay for, and they countered with $400. I do not owe AT&T any money, and I never once used the mobile broadband service. They should not be allowed to turn people in to collections, and potentially ruin their credit history with bogus claims, for services never rendered. I appreciate your consideration into this matter. I work for FEMA, and I am currently on a disaster in NY, and prior to that I was on a disaster in MS, which is why this particular piece of mail, dated November something (I ripped it up before deciding to report to you), is just getting to me now via USPS mail forwarding.

The first week I had the phone, I was in there every day. They just kept telling me to try this, try that. After three weeks of owning the phone, I was done and they would not refund the money for the phone. The phone randomly calls people. You don't even need to push a button. I received two text messages for one text that was sent to me. AT&T has replaced the SIM card and factory reset it numerous times with no better performance. The store referred me to AT&T insurance/warranty issues and they keep doing the same thing. The other night while at the AT&T wireless store, the AT&T rep "Tor" watched my phone call people without hitting a button. The text notification sounds/vibrate doesn't work and even AT&T customer support put him on hold for over an hour.

Every time I call them it’s two hours wasted. Problems include almost every call ends in a drop call; my wife’s phone has five bars and mine has none when I am sitting next to her. Two minutes to hear the phone ring when you call someone and then it hangs up on them. The phone will put the person you’re talking to on hold and call them again. On the business that has the press one for this, two for that option, but the time you pick the 3rd number it dials Dominos. It powers down, gives me a green, blue, red screen and locks up. Calls won't show up in my history.

Now that I have a computer and no data plan, there’s no way to get pictures to the computer. Being in the military, pictures means a lot more to me to lose every time they do a factory reset. AT&T store referred me to the AT&T support’s phone number; then AT&T support phone number would refer me back to the AT&T store. The perfect run-around. This has been going on now for over 4 months. I still have the same phone even though I have insurance and a one-year warranty. Even the guys at the store are lost on why they don't replace it. I spoke to HTC’s customer support and they know these things are happening and the phones are not alike and both require the internet. The problems go on and on. Not only am I frustrated but my wife is too. I need my phone for the military requirements and I work in the medical field and need it for emergencies. I just read the reviews for the HTC Freestyle on Amazon.

Out of 128 reviews, 76 of them was one star and each one star had 1-15 reviews of people experiencing the exact same problems with their phone. When talking to HTC support they told me this Freestyle phone has a bad operating system. No matter how many times they reset the phone it will continue to do the same things. The HTC Freestyle is a poorly built phone and HTC support admits that. I get charged for two text messages when people send me one text. It calls people when I am not even near it. I cannot do anything with the phone and I am expected to paying for services I do not get with insurance and a warranty. These are just a few of the problems I have been having. Can you please help me? Please call me at **.

Several weeks later I receive a bill for internet services that I never received. I contacted AT&T with much difficulty reaching someone. I explained what happened with the initial appointment and informed them I never received services. They talked me into trying again with services. The very nice man also informs me that I needed a modem and asked if I receive one from them. I never received equipment. He said I should have received equipment. I could also buy a modem or because of my trouble he would give me one free. At that time I declined the services. I informed him that because of all of the trouble I have had, I did not want services.

I then received a letter from a collection company. I contacted that company who tells me I have to go online and write a dispute, which I did. They were to let me know about the outcome. I received no response. I now receive another collection letter from another company. I contact them. They tell me I have to contact AT&T. After two afternoons, 4 1/2 hours on the phone with 12 different people transferring me to 5 different departments with very long waits and getting cut off twice and explaining my story 3 different times, I reach a lady who says she can help me to make my account a zero balance.

She then wants to ask me if I was pleased with the service that I received that day. I explained that she had been very nice and if she really has the authority to remove these charges and send me a zero balance then, yes I am. I also said that I really had little faith that she would really do what she said because each of the other people assured they were getting me to the correct place and did not. The over-all service that AT&T has provided regarding this matter was terrible! There has to be a better way to ensure that their systems that are in place and working. The employees need to be trained to get the customer to the appropriate department. I thought it may have been a one-time thing at first but every time I have dealt with AT&T the same problem occurs.

I hope someone from this company will take ownership in making sure that a customer receives the correct information and they need to resolve any issues or concerns. I felt much anger during this whole process! I will wait and see if I receive a statement with a zero balance. I am not sure if anyone will really read this comment. I can only hope that no one else will have the same trouble I have had.

The consequences of this resulted in continued use of my social security number for various support and financial services, not just for the phone. The adult, to save face from the notion and claims that I have made regarding identity theft, no longer respectively in public acknowledges me by my first, birth right, given name. The adult has retained control over my financials by this use, with regard to ownership of anything, goods or service; which includes medical care to transportation. Surely, I tried to contact the telephone service providers to remit to them this information, having made out police reports, and alerting the credit bureaus, but to no avail has this situation been resolved.

A few days ago someone else called me and told me I was stuck for the contract no matter what. I'm really steamed that he hasn't bothered to call me back. His name is Scott ** (888-**). Ironically, the phone message says it's the customer loyalty center. When this contract runs out, I will definitely never do business with AT&T Wireless again. I can't get cell service at my house. I'm unhappy that Scott ** has never called me back to discuss the situation.

I wave been with AT&T for over 10 years and have never been so disrespected like this lady was treating me. She was asking the same question over 5 times and not letting me or the store manager to talk with her manager. I have a land line, cell phone and internet and this lady has me thing about getting rid of all 3 and not getting fully connected with AT&T. I have brought all my products from AT&T and must rethink this. Send me new phone and do something about this woman.

They send me back broken phone and, said that the phone has small crack. I mean small and can't warranty, but phone was working fine, I drop the phone second day when I got it. They sad that they will charge me $275. This is not right. Please help me to resolve.

I had to purchased new battery with my money and it wasn't cheap.

So, here is my problem--actually, two! First of all, I went in last week to upgrade a line (I have 5 total, with 3 having been I-phones). Anyway, I find out that I was supposed to have been getting a discount for the past forever, due to my husband's employment. I have asked about it several times, and have always been told that they would get me signed up. This time I find out that it has never been done, and I have been wasting a lot of money. Discount is bigger than what the ATT employees even get. So, I call customer service and the lady tells me that she can reimburse me for 3 months of what I have overpaid, and that she thinks her boss can even go up to 12 months. I am so happy, right!

Fast-forward a week, I am out of town on a business trip and my car gets broken into. My I-PHONE 3gs got stolen. I have the Apple + plan, but of course that won't cover loss. So, I am stuck with an old "un" smart phone. Really! You can't do anything for me? So, I call and beg for mercy. The guy finally tells me that he can let me choose an Android, so I spent an hour on the phone trying to get it all straight, and at the last minute he tells me that the phone will be $250! I can buy a phone for $250! I need a free phone! It is Christmas, and I need a phone now, but do not have money on Christmas for myself.

OK, so I get home and there is a phone message from customer service about my refund. They are sorry, but the case was closed and there will be no refund. No explanation, just a casual "no".

This is all bad customer service. I am a valuable customer with prompt payments and an almost $300 per month phone bill. I am very sad that ATT can't see that. I know there is a way that they could help me out if they wanted to, or if they cared about me as a customer. I feel like ATT has just given me the big old middle finger!
