ATT phone support is needed to cancel a line or fix a problem. I have waited at least an hour every time I call. The agent that picks up will always need to transfer me to another agent. That office is either closed or I will wait another hour. The new agent will say they attended to the issue, but they did not. Days or weeks later, I need to start the same process over because you must reach phone support to make service downgrades. The phone support goal is to keep you on the line so long that you hang up. I never experienced customer support that was as terrible at ATT. The people in the ATT stores laugh about how bad it is, and then apologize that they can't handle the problem. Try Verizon or T-Mobile. ATT is horrific.

My 89-year-old cousin with memory problems has had two cell phones for a year that she never uses and does not know how to use. I decided to help her close these accounts that were charging her debit card every month. I first called consumer Cellular and explained the problem. They were very sympathetic and closed the account within 10 minutes. I then went to this AT&T retail store for the other account with all the details including phone number and account number. My cousin was also there with her driver's license to prove who she was. AT&T tried every trick possible to block me from closing the account. They played their version of Donkey Kong. After 3 hours, I think we may have had success. Only time will tell. Beware of AT&T. They are a very bad company and practice their own version of elder abuse.

Worst company ever. They quote you one thing over the phone and they just send you higher bill. Do not do auto pay. Beware. Stay away from them. I called. Manager cannot take responsibility for his agent.

ATT worst experience I had with any company before. ATT representatives have no knowledge, no professionalism, never resolved anything, just kept changing my plan and trying to sell more services before even fixing any issue I had. I have ATT business for internet and wireless phones since 2019 and never received what I was promised. In 2021 they added a line which I never requested and added $96 to my bill. I had to call several times and have like 15 reference number requesting to cancel the line and still waiting.
Even ATT fraud department told me that ATT made a mistake because in that line was zero usage. I Hope something get resolved fast otherwise I have to take legal action. I did cancel all my line I gave permission but I cannot cancel the line they added and they agreeing that it was no usage in that line but still investigating. P.S. ATT representative hang up my phone several time because they did not know what they are doing and can not resolve anything.

On August 28th I went to the store in Gastonia on Cox Road to find out if the phone I needed was available. As it was not, I went to the store on Myrtle School road in Gastonia. The representative, Jordan, was with other clients. I was not greeted. While still working with another client, Jordan asked me how she could help. I explained that I was looking specifically for Samsung S24 Ultra with 512 GB of memory and came to her as it was unavailable at Cox road store. She informed me that she had two phones available at that location. I chose the color of the phone. She proceeded with the trade-in. As she was still working with both me and another person, I had to do all the installation on my new phone without her help. She did not go over any policies, protection plan options which she just added without asking me.
When I got home and started setting up my phone I found out that she sold me a Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra with 256 GB. The next day I went back to the store. She said that she would not be able to replace the phone. She was not able to make a return either. I spent 3 and 1/2 hours at the store with her trying to help both me and another client at the same time again. I ended up leaving the store because she was not able to solve my issue and she sent me away.
I had to go to the corporate store on Cox road where all my problems were solved by another representative without any issues. However I did have to still pay the restocking fee which I find unfair. On top of everything, Jordan was smelling strongly of **, she was dressed yesterday in a mini skirt and today in jeans with multiple holes in them, something weird on her head, and looked completely unrepresentable and unprofessional. At one point I had to sit down because the smell of ** was that strong.

This review is solely for MYIEKA!! She was truly helpful. I’ve been on the phone with 4 different people prior to Myieka. She is amazing. My phone was not working after transfer to replacement. I was told to do numerous different things from all 4 people. It took Myieka under 5 minutes to get my phone working. I should have asked for her extension just in case I need help in the future. She made my night!

This review is in response to the awful service received from an AT&T service agent. I called in to get a reason for the increase in my bill which was not clear on the bill. The initial person with whom I spoke could not provide a clear understanding of why the bill had increased. I then requested to speak with supervisor. The supervisor's name was NOAH. I shared with him my concerns, He began to say that reason for the increase was because AT&T made an across the board increase to the all customers. He stated that I was sent a text to this effect. I told him that I did not receive a text. I then ask why wasn't an email sent explaining in detail the increase.
I continued to ask what prompted the increase, and what were the specific upgrades that was added to my account. He proceeded to divert the attention away from my initial concerns. He became frustrated and wanted to discuss how he could decrease my bill. I was not ready for that discussion until he answered my questions. He continued to dance around my inquiries. At this point I was annoyed and was ready to file a formal complaint. I had to asked several times before he would give me the information to file the complaint. Finally, he gave me a number after several requests. I then ask him to share with me the summary of notes that he would post to my account. He shared what he had written but intentionally left out specific details of the dialogue. I insisted that the left out details be included in the summary. He was difficult to deal with and was not able to fully resolve my matter.

I switched my family to ATT with the hopes of saving money while having reliable service. I completely regret my decision. The service is terrible and as of right now our service is completely down. How does the large cell provider absolutely drop the ball on the one thing they do? I spent 17 years at my former cell provider and service was great. Why did I do this?

I have the Internet Air for Business. I have had it under a month and It started out great then in a week it slowed down to with under a 1.0 Upload. Their tech support did 3 hours of over the phone work and I still had to go into the store because it was pinging in off of North and South Carolina and not Michigan towers. Then I was told by service to get a new sim card in the store. I was also told that they can cancel my other line which was a hotspot for business that did not work. That I had to do it over the phone they did not have access; which the rep on the phone stated that I needed to go in store.
Moving onward I have been working this week when I got the new sim and the Internet Air went out again while working. I called support. I was on the phone 3.30 hours with 5 transfers and attitude from reps; when requesting a supervisor I was told they are already engaged and cannot take the call. After an 1 hr of waiting for a supervisor I was transferred to another rude rep. I hung up! Then this morning I was experiencing the same speeds and I called. I have been on the phone for another 3 hours and transferred 6 x with no resolution. AT&T are beyond horrible and I do not recommend any Business internet service through them with the Internet AIR.

No Internet for 6 days. I had an engineer appointment booked however no one turned up. Their customer services informed me that the problem was outside and an engineer would not be coming. I took the afternoon off work for no reason at a loss of 160 dollars. Their response was, "Oh sorry we will give you 3 dollars compensation." WHAT A JOKE.

I have been a consumer for over two decades. They have slowly declined in their ethics and care of consumers. I would not have remained a consumer if they were bad from the start. I was with them when they were Cingular wireless. My loyalty hasn’t been rewarded or even acknowledged. Yet my account was hacked accessing all my banking information. Which led to my bank account being drained but AT&T holds no blame. But when I called and told them of issues I was experiencing they notified me of the breach. Which sadly I was unaware of!!

My 85 year old mother has been a BEYOND loyal customer to AT&T and all of the other names that it was prior to the company being called AT&T. OVER 50 years of loyalty. You all have been HORRIBLE in the way that you speak to her, schedule with her and all of your supposed repairs since 2023-present. I am appalled by the lack of concern and interest that has been shown to her and myself, when speaking on her behalf. I am OVER the patronizingly robotic apology that your workers have to say over the phone, due to it being part of the script. Needless to say, after all of these years, my sister and I are forcing her to walk away from AT&T. Feel free to treat someone else's mother terribly, but not mine.

I have AT&T internet. So this door to door AT&T sales rep came up to me and offered me a deal for the cell phone, saying I can get 3 free iPhone 14 and an upgraded Samsung phone for my brother in law. All for just my under $120 for the 4 lines. He also said after 18 month we can get new phones replacement. Sounds great, yeah!!! Plus my son’s iWatch service for another 10-15. Great! I signed up and I paid up front for the taxes for the four phones over $330. He also said he can mail the Samsung phone to Florida to my brother in law.
The guy was nice saying once I get the phone, "Just text me or call me and I’ll get you set up." The phone arrived a few days later, but the Samsung phone was with the package. They told me to ship the Samsung myself. So I texted the guy, he blocked my number. I called, left message and no call back. After a week I called customer service about the activation, she told me to go to the store to get the activation. I also looked at the contract, he added 10.99 for each phone as a lease for 36 months, he didn’t tell me that as part of his sales pitch. So I asked to return the phones, they emailed me an RMA with UPS label.
I returned it and the rep told me it will be at least a week or two get the refund. Three weeks later still no refund of $330 and they are now charging me another $145+ for service I have never activated. They even charged separately on my son’s iWatch for $45+, even though service was never activated. Don’t ever go for AT&T cell phone service. They are horrible and now I have call customer service and talk to an operator not living in America.

Complaint: After seeing almost every other company offering plans for what I consider the same level of service for substantially less per month, I reached out to AT&T to see if there was any way to lower my bill. I figured that with over 20 years of being a loyal customer they would be able to do something, however to my surprise they weren't willing to do anything so I cancelled my service and transferred to Verizon for over 100 dollars less per month. Upon transferring my service I made sure to pay my balance to $0 while I was in store to ensure I was paying whatever the current balances due were paid. Now, I get a call 2 months later saying I still owe almost $300, which is impossible because you can't cancel service AND I also transferred my 2 phone numbers to the new carrier.
After speaking with a support manager Alex he kept telling me it was for a past due balance and didn't care to look at the facts (it's not possible to transfer a line or service altogether especially to a competitor if there is a balance due). Alex tried to say that the final payment was reversed to which I told him no it wasn't and would provide my bank statement as proof...then he said "I'm sorry sir that must be a lie." He didn't request for me to send it to AT&T to clear up the discrepancy, no, after 20 years with the company I'm now a liar because I won't let them extort me for another $300 dollars. If I hadn't transferred to a new provider I bet that bill wouldn't have mysteriously appeared.
I'll also be filing a complaint with the attorney general as well as posting this exact review on every social media channel I can because this is a horrible company that everyone should stay away from! After being a customer of AT&T for over 20 years there is nothing good to say regarding this company. AT&T could care less about their customers and have made that blatantly clear to me.

Recently inquired about a "free" phone email I received. Went through the website and picked a phone that showed $0 per month. Select it and now it's $8.34 a month for 36 months plus a $35 "activation" and $66 in tax. So in summary you give them your current working cell phone plus $102 plus the $300.24 you end up paying for the "free" phone over the 36 months. What a con. Hand over your phone and a total of over $400 for what they call free. Sounds more like a robbery.

I received a bill for $658.99 which is the incorrect amount due to the fact that I've been charged for a time period that I didn't use AT&T services. Unfortunately I was given a used device that still had another customer nude pictures in it. Even though I had ordered a Samsung Galaxy S22 but received a used S20. To make matters worse they refuse to correct the mistake. AT&T customer service is terrible.

My wife and I shared a grandfathered data plan with my mom until she died. My mom didn’t write down her AT&T password or passcode, so whether my wife and I were going to stay with AT&T or switch, the only way to do it was to go the local AT&T store to transfer our lines to an account in my name. When I went there, they told me we weren’t allowed to keep the grandfathered data plan and would have to switch to unlimited. My wife and I use very little data, so I knew at that moment we’d probably have to switch carriers to get a fair price for the service we need. I set up autopay and paperless billing with AT&T before I left the store that day. 3 days later I ported our numbers to another carrier, and 2 days after that I received our final AT&T bill. I didn’t know until I received this bill that AT&T doesn’t prorate final bills.
In addition to charging us an entire month for only 3 days of service, they also took away the $10 per line discount we should have received for setting up autopay and paperless because I canceled our service before the bill was generated. I tried multiple times on the phone and in online chat to make my case to customer service that we were unfairly overcharged. Even if I had conceded I was at fault for not knowing they don’t prorate, they at least should have reinstated the autopay discount when I explained our situation and the reason we canceled our service. Every representative I spoke to gave the same answer: there was nothing they could do unless I reactivated our service. Doing so would have made no sense because my wife and I aren’t big data users. I will absolutely never be an AT&T customer again. They showed no mercy to a grieving family and made us pay $160.32 on our way out the door for only 3 days of service on 2 lines.

I have been AT&T customer since 2015, the service was ok until 3 years ago, I have called AT&T several times to if they can resolve this issue but nothing have been done. When I finally decided to cancel my service they told me you have to pay the whole month service even though it was only 4 days at beginning of billing cycle. I looked at this as forcing a customer to pay a service they are no longer using. AT&T can prorate the service charge and return the customer money. Not doing this is robbing a hard working people money. I am glad left AT&T for bad service and unfair charges. I recommend not to deal with AT&T service at all.

AT&T is the most disorganized company I've ever had the displeasure of working with. They set the modem up in the wrong place, then ran the wire through my neighbor's yard. After burying two inches when they were supposed to bury it six inches, the two dogs in my neighbor's yard chewed through the wire after six days of service. Had to wait three days before a tech returned for an appointment to move the modem and then realized he had to reconnect. Once again, they ran it through the neighbor's yard and the dogs chewed it within 24 hours this time. I returned the equipment and cancelled the account. Of course, that didn't stop them from billing my bank account $262.72, for some unknown reason, which will tie that money up until the dispute they are causing me to file is complete. No wonder they are the worst rated internet service provider.

Next. Do not do business with AT&T. They don’t do what they promised and expect the customer to invest their time and energy fixing their mistakes. I recently moved to Tenn and decided to switch to At&t from Verizon. While at the Target in Herdersonvilleshopping, an at&t rep, Parker (I think) solicited my business. Since switching to att was already on my todo list, I agreed. The only caveat was keeping my current number. No problem. Unfortunately the phone arrived improperly set up, specifically, programmed with an unknown number.
When I called customer service, they said there was nothing they could do and the phone needed returned to the point of purchase. So, I drove 30 minutes one way to the Hendersonville Target return the phone. Target said there was nothing they could do and refused to make the return. When I explained to att cs what happened, they instructed me to return the phone to an att store. The staff at the att refused to help and said there was nothing they could do, they-refused to help. Frustrated, I took a of the store rep with my phone and left the phone at the store and said goodbye.
4 days later, a different att csr explained that I needed to retrieve the phone from the att located at 923 Nashville Pike, Suite D in Gallatin, TN. I agreed to do so only if the csr remained the phone during the process. Csr was exacerbated when store manager refused help. Eventually the phone csr asked to speak with the manager personally. So after another 40 minutes, someone, not the manager, agreed to help. I guess this is the good part, the att store rep in fact was able to assist in returning the but had simply refused. I honestly still don’t know the status of the account.

I have been a loyal AT&T customer for over 50 years. I am now in the process of switching to a carrier that I hope will care enough about my personal data that they will protect it as if it was their own. AT&T would not provide me with service unless I provided them with my personal data, including my social security number. Doesn't that impose an obligation on the part of AT&T not to hand it over to crooks? Apparently not. Thanks to the recklessness of AT&T my personal data including my social security number, as well as the personal data of millions of hard-working Americans, has been compromised. And, how much does AT&T care about their recklessness? Not much, as their response was to raise CEO John Stankey's salary to $24,500,000 a year AND raise our wireless rates by 20% to pay for it. IS THERE ANY QUESTION WHY AT&T REMAINS THE MOST HATED COMPANY IN AMERICA?

Left Verizon Wireless after 20 years because they were getting a bit expensive and decided to go with AT&T. I must admit they reeled me in with a good deal and a reasonable family plan. Unfortunately, their cell service isn't reliable: for example, there are suddenly dead zones where there hadn't been for a year. They, as a company, do not stand behind their products regardless of the issue. I have a software issue that, according to the advanced technician I spoke with, is a trending issue with Samsung Galaxy devices using similar software. So, the phone is having a software issue, and they will not replace it for me. They will upgrade it for me and put me on another 3-year contract. I've spent nearly 8 hours- a full workday- attempting to find a solution and all they offer me is an opportunity to spend more money.

I was a loyal customer to AT&T for many years and then left due to poor customer service. I recently returned because of seemingly good offers only to be misled and lied to. I was quoted one price when I signed up and when I got my first bill, it was more than double which should’ve been clearly stated to me at the time I signed up for service again.

I have been a customer of AT&T since they took over Sprint, so over the decade. I've had my share of issues over the years but none like the one that occurred in June that caused me to finally switch to T-Mobile and never look back. It all started with what seemed like a simple iPhone upgrade and turned into a week-long nightmare. We used the eSIM card transfer upon receipt of the new phone and everything went haywire - I was receiving my husband's text message and the extra line on our phone that belonged to another family member was suddenly the new primary account holder. Going into the AT&T store was not helpful - they ended up having to call support on the phone and our identiy couldn't be verified.
We tried 2 more times with the fraud department and it became clear that they were asking questions about the family member rather than me, the primary account holder. Each time, the fraud department simply hangs up on you -- no second chances. So, I understand fraud and all, but if an company has a customer that has never been late on a bill for over a decade, I'd think that company might have another mechanism to verify their identity. As a start, have me go into a store and show my ID. Because we couldn't verify my identity, it was a non-starter. I almost felt like AT&T preferred I leave because I was receiving a sizeable corporate discount on my account....
On top of all that, when I returned the iPhone within the allotted return window, they still billed me the full amount of the phone. The tracking clearly said it was delivered and the first rep I spoke with put the responsibility back on me stating they use a 3rd party carrier so I would need to figure it out with them. The second rep who was more knowledgeable understood it was AT&T's responsibility after delivery was confirmed. I finally received a refund on my account. That was the cherry on top of all these issues and added more gray hairs to my hair. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to do business with AT&T again. Ridiculous issue that could have been easily resolved but instead, they have lost a longtime customer that LOVES to write reviews so look out for me on all your review sites.

AT&T is 100% authentic CRAP! My mother is a 40 year retiree and has had mobile service with them for over 2 decades. Her current iPhone 12 has a busted speaker and doesn't ring. She owes $340 on this device. We called AT&T and spoke with numerous people in billing and customer loyalty who REFUSED to provide her with a new phone or any other option for getting a new phone without paying off the balance of her current malfunctioning phone. We even asked if the existing phone balance could be rolled into the new phone billing. Nothing doing! I informed everyone that we spoke with that T-MOBILE & VERIZON have both agree to match her current bill plan, allow her to keep her existing number, provide her with a new phone AND pay off the old one with AT&T--and still they didn't budge!
There's an old adage that says "a fool and his money are soon departed." AT&T get with it--there is too much competition out here for you to allow your longstanding customers to leave over an issue that could have been easily remedied with finding a happy-medium to provide my mother with a new phone that actually rings. Instead you spotlighted what happens all to often in today's society--that customer satisfaction is of no concern to you. Your actions today proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you are an AT&T customer for any service, I implore you to spend your money elsewhere! If they'll do it to us, you're probably next. :( Sincerely, A very pissed Mother & Daughter.

AT&T is the used car salesmen of wireless. Nothing but lies to get you to go away, then the bill comes and it’s completely different than what was promised. When you call them back they simply dismiss your complaint as “I’m sorry the agent told you that but we can’t offer you that deal”. After dealing with the same deceit with U-verse for years and only getting what was promised after filing a complaint with the FCC, I finally dropped their service. Now I have to research another wireless carrier due to the same tactics. Worst customer service experience ever (91% - 1 star reviews), so I wonder how this shady company is still in business.

I have used AT&T Wireless service for my family going on 12 years. Considering we use 7 devices and pay just over $300 a month, I think we get a pretty good deal with unlimited use basically. I just recently tried out AT&T internet air service in place of Century link who only offered 20 Mbps (with no hope for an upgrade) and at a monthly cost of over $80 with regular increases. With AT&T air I am consistently getting 150 to 500 Mbps running 18 devices and at a cost of only $47 a month. AT&T air functions using wireless technology from nearby towers so placement of the modem in your home has options not available to wired service modems dependent on DSL.
The speed I get from air and the lower monthly cost make sense over other services that limit my access to higher speeds as well as cost nearly twice as much. AT&T air is the only other available service in my area and it affords me options that I want over Centurylink limited service. There are services that provide the same if not faster speeds and for less money but are not available to me, so I say go with what works for you in the moment, which for me at this moment, is AT&T air.

I have had ATT for almost 20 years and never ever would I have thought that my losing my cell would be such a hassles. Somehow fraud was listed and so I had to answer some very odd security questions about other people. So when I said I’m not associated with them (one being ex husband's FORMER step daughter) -whom I don’t know where she lives or anything else About her I get flagged and can’t get the number ported on to new phone. Then when I can’t authenticate they disconnect the call. The questions they ask I don’t even pick yourself.
I’ve been at this for two days now and since most of my accounts require verification thru my cell number to log in I can’t get my passport, access my bank account, update other accts. It’s like being off grid. As a veteran with ptsd and anxiety this is very triggering. I feel so lost and angry. Now I’m waiting on some mystery ATT person to call me over my Google number for hours now. If my number is not ported writhing 18 more hours. I will be at a competitor's store tomorrow at to sign up and be done with ATT service. I’d even consider a jitterbug at this point and just use my laptop for other connections. This is truly ridiculous.

Worse company I've ever dealt with. Left Verizon and and joined AT&T through Costco. I have had nothing but issues, every month, I have to call them and spend over an hour on the phone - every month. The issues: agreement discussed with sales person at Costco was not true. Paid several hundred dollars the first couple of months, bill was suppose to be around $120. Two phones I received from them have issues. Tried to change my payment date - going on the fourth month. Getting charged late fees when the didn't change the payment date. They removed my trade-in credit and then asked me for a receipt of the trade-in. And more! I cannot wait to get out of this contract!!!! Don't do business with them.

We have had the worse experiences with AT&T. When we need to use the phone the most such as google searches and download and uploads. This service is awful. Here in my area AT&T promotes 5G coverage and the phone it showed 5G however there is not a 5G tower within at least 10-15 miles from the outside city suburb area. We use our phones for business purposes. But we need it the most to get information to customers it moves so slow the bar across the top. We use to love this company, until now. We had switched over to T mobile due to a nice promotion they offered. And we had not one issue with online services or uploading and downloading.
We then switched to AT&T by mistake after jumping in an another promotion free latest IPhones and they will give us $1000 for old phones. We bought in to that and hated we ever switched from T mobile. Now with the data breach we tried to get out of this service, being that we aren’t in a contract. And our phones are paid off. We are being told that we would need to pay $2200. Which I believe is wrong. I wish we would have simply stayed with T mobile. I would like to get out of this AT&T deal.

I used AT&T as an Internet provider for two years. The service was very slow (they don’t have fiber in my area), I had to reboot the system often, and it was difficult to get a representative on the phone. One problem is that they hung the cable too low. A few months ago, it was torn by a vehicle and had to be repaired. Then it happened again… I also learned that, between the two incidents, our city manager had noticed the wires are hanging too low and asked AT&T to make them higher. They said they would, but never bothered doing it. It’s bad enough that this happened due to their incompetence, but each time I had to wait several days for a technician to come and repair. Working from home, this was a huge problem. Finally, I cancelled the service. Because AT&T no longer prorates, I am stuck with a bill for a whole month in which I’m not using their service at all. Disgraceful.

This company is terrible, especially their service in Florida—it's been rough, to say the least. We signed up for a family plan, thinking it would be a good deal, but it turned out to be a complete rip-off. They took advantage of my elderly grandma, convincing her to sign up for something that now costs us more while giving us fewer benefits. It's absurd that they require a passcode instead of just an ID to access the account. My grandparents are in their 80s—remembering a passcode isn't exactly easy for them! And to add insult to injury, they misled us with promises of a free phone, only for us to discover it's just credits spread over 36 months.
To top it off, when my phone accidentally ended up in a lake, I couldn't get a replacement from AT&T, even though my old one was initially paid for. They had convinced my grandma the new one I received was free, but apparently, touching the account now means we lose whatever bogus promo they cooked up. This company's service is slow, their promises are deceptive, and their treatment of customers is downright shameful.

Hands down one of the worst wireless decisions I have made. If you ever call customer service, prepare to be underwhelmed and unhelped. The so called "managers" have the same level of knowledge and permissions as the regular customer service employees; this is not a issue with the personnel, rather the structure and way the system is set up. There is a "backroom" that supposedly is the spot for the "super techs" that, wait for it... will not be able to fix the issue you called for. If you are planning on getting your phone unlocked, plan on it not happening, or if you have multiple phones, plan on MAYBE one getting unlocked (not without you going through multiple loops first).
I paid off both phones on my plan and ATT is holding one hostage... even stating that one of the phones wasn't purchased through ATT, that's wild because ATT had the very phone on an installment plan and I had to pay ATT to pay it off early in order to unlock it, why would I have to have an installment plan for a carrier that I didn't buy the phone through? That is sarcasm, of course, but come on, how unorganized and unknowledgeable is this company? Now they are saying that it can take up to 30 days to unlock those phone, when it took 24 hours to unlock the other... Oh and don't count on status updates either. The ATT app is garbage and very little on that customer portal is accurate. And guess what... it's the same information that customer service will regurgitate to you when you call them, so there seems like no purpose for that process to exist either.

We shut down autopay prior to any further fraudulent withdrawals but now are harassed every month with threats to our credit rating if we don’t pay this money we in fact do not owe. Six months of contact with numerous ATT representatives and the harassment continues though at the end of each contact ATT admits that the error is on their end and it will be fixed through their fraud department.
Only days later to receive contact from the fraud department telling us it is not an issue for them and we should contact customer service. That cycle has occurred through eight calls…many last over an hour. In our experience it is the ATT Fraud Department that is a fraud. Beware! Beware! Beware!

I don't usually write a negative review, as a matter of fact, I have only written one in all of the reviewing era, but I felt that I should communicate the complete dishonesty by an ATT technician in San Diego. Today I had an appointment scheduled for a technician to install ATT fiber service at my home and had a family member take off work early to meet the person providing the installation; however, at about 4:00 PM (with family sitting there from 2:00-4:00 PM by the window reading), I received a text saying that I was unavailable and would have to reschedule. The great thing about lies is that eventually they are caught.
At the same time I received that note, my family member called me to tell me that the ATT technician drove up to the house slowly, looked around as if they saw there was no parking (it's a busy location in SD) and then just drove off. Suspicious that he WOULD write that we were not home, she called to let me know, and she was right! The tech wrote that the "customer was not available," but the guy was observed never getting out of his van and just drove away. When I got on chat with ATT, the customer service rep took about 6-7 minutes between texts, almost as if he was disinterested, and got it wrong twice, saying it looked like I wasn't available! I told him that the tech's note was an out and out lie, and then instead of apologizing, all he stated was, "that's weird."
After essentially finding him useless and being put on hold so much, I called ATT to only have a customer service rep read her script over and over and cut me off, saying, "I'm sorry, let's get this rescheduled." Watch out for the ATT technicians that do this...if they are willing to lie about a customer's availability, they may be apt to lie about the installation requiring extra charges.

Horrible Experience with AT&T Cell Phone Service - Beware!

If this review saves at least one person, then it has done its job. From the very beginning, expectations regarding billing were not communicated clearly. This left me with a false sense of what I would be billed. Imagine my shock when the bill, which was supposed to be consistent, changed so much that it ended up being approximately $50 more per month than what I was initially told.
The nightmare doesn't end there. Trying to reach the third-party seller that sold us the service at Target was extremely difficult. Their lack of availability and support added to my frustration. Even the local AT&T store admitted that the third-party seller did us dirty, confirming our fears that we were misled from the start. When I turned to AT&T customer service for help, they were anything but helpful. All they did was reduce our plan to something equivalent to the prepaid plan we had moved from, which was Boost Mobile. For the record, Boost Mobile had way better cost and service.
This is a warning to anyone considering AT&T: Be sure you get any and all promises clearly stated, both verbally and in writing. Do not sign anything you haven't thoroughly read and understood. Ask them to explain it 20 times if you need to, but definitely get what your final bill will be IN WRITING. Our experience with AT&T has been horrible, and I will never use their services again. To make matters worse, we are now stuck with them for three years unless we pay a ridiculous amount to get out of the contract. Even our expectations regarding canceling services were incorrect; we were completely misinformed about what we could do if we wanted to cancel. Now we are stuck, feeling deceived and frustrated. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for anyone considering AT&T. If it can prevent just one person from going through what we did, it will have served its purpose. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of AT&T.

To make a long story short, the AT&T store canceled our Verizon accounts and signed us up with 4 AT&T accounts. The promotion was if we transferred to AT&T we would receive IPhone 14s at $1.99 per phone, per month...
After canceling our Verizon accounts the AT&T store informed us that they were out of stock on the phones! We left the store with 4 Sim cards only. I spent hour upon hour dealing with management and the loyalty department, they couldn't do anything. "Their system wouldn't allow them to give us phones after activating the Sim cards. Their system only allows them to give the phones at the time of activating the sim cards." What I could do was pay full price ($2,500) for new phones.
Keep in mind our old Verizon phones AT&T had blocked from activation so we had no choice but to cancel AT&T and go back to Verizon. Here's the kicker, AT&T charged me $175 for activation after I canceled. I called again and spent another hour and a half speaking to a manager to find out that "his hands are tied."

My bill increased over $200 per month and I was suppose to be on an unlimited plan like I was with Verizon and that was a lie. No one at AT&T would do anything to resolve my complaint. One more thing I was also told I wouldn’t be locked into a contract which also was a lie.
I told the sales rep at the grocery store where I was followed around while shopping I wasn’t interested. I recently had to stop working due to a health condition and I’m happy with Verizon and I can’t afford to pay more than what I’m budgeted for. He promised all the same services I got with Verizon unlimited everything for my family plan but as a bonus for switching and being a new customer we qualified for free phone upgrades. My monthly bill would be the same except the first one would be a little higher due to activation. My current bill with AT&T this month 06/2024 is over $400. This is insane. I can't believe this is legal!!! My bill was consistently $139 every month with Verizon. With At&T my bill always goes up, never been the same and up to $200 more every month than I was paying with Verizon.
I wouldn’t recommend AT&T to anyone and I regret trusting their con artists disguised as sales reps!!!! Since I was scammed into signing up with the “new” customer deal in September 2023 I have paid AT&T a total of $2,186.62, that is $928.15 more than what I would have been paying my previous carrier. I was lied to, taken advantage of and manipulated into changing carriers. I only did it because the sales rep that was following me around at the grocery store assured me my total bill would be the same give or take a little not much, I wouldn’t be committed to a contract, could cancel anytime but would have to pay for the phone upgrades which he said were suppose to be free as part of the new customer promotion and switching my service which also was a lie.
I can’t afford this service. I told him I can’t afford any more than what I was paying with Verizon since I had to stop working due to a health condition. Now my credit has been affected and I don’t know what if anything can be done. I can’t believe major corporations can do this to people. Especially now where the economy is a strain on everyone.

I am utterly disappointed and deeply dissatisfied with AT&T's service, and I feel compelled to share my harrowing experience as a cautionary tale to other potential customers. In October 2022, full of excitement and anticipation for the arrival of my first child, I made the decision to upgrade my phone to capture those precious moments with better clarity. I opted to trade in three perfectly functional iPhone 11s for a newer iPhone 14 through AT&T's online service, enticed by their promotional offer promising credit for the trade-ins.
Initially, everything seemed to proceed smoothly. I followed their instructions diligently, sending back the old phones in the provided box. However, as the months passed, I found myself repeatedly contacting AT&T's customer service inquiring about the promised credit, only to be met with empty assurances and excuses. First, they claimed it would take a month or two to process—a delay I reluctantly accepted. But when the promised credit failed to materialize even after two months, alarm bells started ringing. It was then that they dropped the bombshell: my traded phones had mysteriously vanished, and they conveniently pointed fingers at FedEx.
Thankfully, I had the foresight to keep a record of my shipment, including photographic evidence of the confirmation receipt, which ultimately led to the discovery of my phones languishing in one of AT&T's warehouses. Yet, despite their acknowledgment of receiving the devices, they shockingly professed their inability to locate them. To add insult to injury, AT&T attempted to shift the blame onto me, suggesting that I had mishandled the trade-in process—a ludicrous accusation given my meticulous adherence to their instructions. Their condescending insinuation that I lacked the intelligence to follow simple procedures only compounded my frustration.
At this juncture, it became abundantly clear that AT&T's purported commitment to customer satisfaction was nothing more than a facade. Whether through sheer negligence or deliberate malpractice, they had callously disregarded their obligations, leaving me to bear the brunt of their incompetence. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Three functional smartphones, entrusted to AT&T in good faith, have inexplicably vanished into thin air, leaving me saddled with the burden of exorbitant charges and a profound sense of betrayal.
In conclusion, I implore anyone considering AT&T's services to proceed with caution. My experience serves as a stark reminder of the perils of placing blind trust in corporate entities driven solely by profit motives. Until AT&T rectifies their egregious mishandling of my case and implements meaningful reforms to prevent similar injustices in the future, I will continue to voice my dissatisfaction and warn others of the potential pitfalls that await unsuspecting consumers.

When purchasing AT&T phones/service be aware that they have terrible plans for international travel. It cost $12 a day for the first 10 days of the month which comes out to being $120 a month on top of what you're paying for the plan. There is no other option. And they don't unlock phones unless they are paid off so you can't get a SIM card from another carrier. TMobile on the other hand unlocks phones from day one and it gives you free international data and only 25 cents per call. If you are planning to use the phone internationally do not use AT&T. In addition when I called customer support they offered no support other than to say, "This is what we offer and if you don't like it too bad."

I have been fraudulently charged for a non-returned phone from AT&T for the amount of $505.62. On January 31st, 2024, I utilized my "Next" early upgrades for both lines which I had been paying the extra fee for since I upgraded the time before. From ATT.com it shows that I received both phones, S24 Ultra 512GB in both Black (214) 663-****, and Violet (214) 728-****.
With those shipments, I received return boxes as well as a strip of return tape along with both return labels. The phone "Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - 512GB - Burgundy" was sent with its label for ** while the other phone "Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - 512GB - Phantom Black" was sent in a separate box and with its own label assigned by ATT. I took both well-packaged boxes, each with its own return phone, as per the instructions for the new phone upgrades, to "The UPS Store" 5706 E Mockingbird Ln, Dallas, TX 75206. I took multiple pictures of the packages ready to send, including both boxes, side by side, in my lap, just before entering The UPS Store. Both packages where scaled (weighed), and I was given the UPS receipt which I still have for both packages. When tracking the return package for **, ** it shows delivered to IRVING, TX, US at 02/13/2024.
Contrary to this, when tracking the return package for **, **the UPS website still states "On the Way" as the status toward IRVING, TX. Details show that the package was dropped off by me at the store on 2/12/24, after which the package never received another scan. Still, ATT claims, that they received an empty-box which they state was delivered to DALLAS, TX (a different city then the original destination of IRVING), with before, and after pictures of nothing more than mangled packaging. First, why did UPS show NO proof of delivery and NO delivery scan on the box for account **? Meanwhile, UPS provides full detail of ** from drop-off to delivery to IRVING, TX. In April, when I first contacted ATT, and I was told that they had yet to receive the package, I was told to call back in May so that ATT could "easily" make a claim to UPS and I would not be charged.
Luckily, because I have absolutely no trust in ATT whatsoever, I documented every movement, statement, tracking, and receipt of both packages. The package which ATT claimed was empty, was clearly stolen by UPS, ATT receiving or another intermediary. As with ALL banks, if a fraudulent charge is claimed, that claim amount is immediately removed while an investigation is made into the fraud. This is done so in "good faith" for their customers. Regarding ATT, this is not the case.
Instead, it seems that ATT would rather attempt to defame its customers during an upgrade process (which is a sign of trust on the customers part) so that the customer would have to pay extra money for a device which had clearly either been stolen or embezzled through ATT itself. I have been attempting to contact anyone at ATT who will listen and if not being regularly hung up on, the agents have tried, and failed, to fault me at every step of the upgrade process, or at best simply state that there is nothing that they can do. This has been more than a frustrating ordeal which I should have never had to deal with as a 10-year customer.
My word alone should be enough for a company that I have been with for 10 years, through multiple upgrades, and many years before that of a different account. While trying to correct this false persecution and charge, I have been harassed by ATT billing, far beyond what the Fair Credit Act allows, for $505.62 for a phone that they very well know, was stolen. It is quite obvious ATT has attempted to cover it up by falsely claiming an empty box, given the UPS tracking details, the pictures of what was sent vs what they say they received, and the missing "proof of delivery" as well as the lack of ANY delivery scans beyond that of my initial drop off to UPS.
Thankfully, due to my distrust, I have more than enough evidence proving my correct compliance with all of the steps of the upgrade process. The ONLY missing/ lacking evidence seems to be that of ATT's. I would like my account credited as soon as possible, and I would expect some form of compensation for the time and energy I have wasted against a completely unproven accusation.
The ineptitude of such a large company is staggering. What kind of company attacks their own customer with accusations and charges without any legitimate proof and such lacking and flimsy evidence, especially regarding delivery and tracking? Lastly, on the night of 05/29/24, I decided to schedule both the current, and upcoming bill minus the 505.62 which I DO NOT OWE.
I set up the payment to hit my account on the 7th of June. After double-checking that the date clearly showed 06/07/24, I chose to proceed, only to find that the website "ignored" the pay setup date and took the funds without my permission immediately. Now, instead of simply stealing phones, ATT has now begun stealing money from its customers. If, somehow, this amount hits my account, it is a bill-pay account only, and as such I will receive hundreds of dollars in fees. ATT is quite possible the most awful company that I have ever had any dealings with.

Was signed up for the wrong account while in the store. Took 10 minutes to get signed up for the wrong account. I spent nearly 5 hours trying to cancel the account between in store visits and phone calls. The first customer service person I called said I needed to go to the store. The store folks were rude because they don't do cancelations and got angry when I told them I was sent to the store by customer service. Ended up filing a dispute resolution because they were billing me the whole time. They tried to argue I had used a small amount of data at one point when I used the phone to try and reach them to cancel the account.
To make things worse every time you call you have to go through an aggravating phone tree just to wait on hold for a half hour and eventually get the runaround. I have no idea how the service is, I never used it. Overall it was an awful experience. The account finally got canceled but I'm still getting a bill for $117, for a service I never used.

I’ve had AT&T for over a decade. Every year when they raise my rates I contact the loyalty department and let them know I can’t afford more and they give me a lower rate. After talking to multiple reps, they are no longer able to do that because AT&T wants U-Verse customers to cancel because it’s old technology, so the rates just keep going up. Manager Ana (**) promised to get my situation reviewed and call me back but never did. It’s sad that they don’t care about keeping customers. I guess it’s okay because we have a fire stick with all the same shows anyway.

The whole process was a nightmare, half of my family had service and the other half didn't. Back to the bill portion. My bill is now 2 times more than what I was originally paying the other carrier. I reached to the sales guy about it and he no longer responds. This is typical and I expected him not to respond because he knew he was lying to get the sale.

I needed to switch providers after having been with Verizon wireless for many many years. In my new area, Verizon could not provide coverage from my home. I tried Mint mobile first for 1 week. Their coverage was not good enough either but customer service and their knowledge was good. I found out from friends that AT&T happened to have the best coverage in my home area. So I began the long journey to switch from Mint to AT&T. The wait times were terrible. Their knowledge base was terrible. They would frequently give up. One lady told me there was no way to keep my same phone number, and that I would have to get a new one. I said I can’t do that. She went away to consult others as they often do. She came back and said actually you can keep your same number then proceeded to keep me on hold for over an hour before I had to hang up because I had an appointment.
I was mailed a physical SIM card, when my phone is virtual-sim only. They continued to pass me around from person to department to person. I always had to re-initiate the contact. They ultimately didn’t care if my phone was working or not. I finally tried to fix it myself and did get Mint removed from my phone, but then my phone would not work at all. I went to Walmart and purchased a prepaid AT&T phone and a data card which was not easy to set up. Then I began using that phone to try and setup my original phone with customer service.
I had one guy who worked with me for a while, then told me if I couldn’t receive a four digit pin on my old phone (that was not working) we had to be done and I’d have to visit the AT&T store. The problem was that I had already visited that store and a rude person in there, told me I should google my problem or call customer service! So I went back to the store, and found a different employee who was finally able to get my phone set up and the only problem was that I needed my network services reset. Very very disappointed. I knew AT&T was bad from experience many years ago, but I was shocked at how bad they really are. They could take a lesson from Mint mobile who is friendly, articulate, knowledgeable and doesn’t give up or pass you off.

Their pricing is ridiculous and the quality of service is weak for what they charge or their service. I am very disappointed with them. AT&T needs to do better or they will be forced to merge with another company cause it won't be long before they are holding on to dear life! I am sick of them.

I have been an ATT customer for 2 years before recently having it disconnected, even with full bars it took 10 mins. to send an email and forever to even open a web page, constant dropped calls and it didn't matter across 5 states! Even with 5 bars of 5G on an ATT tower it stunk! However if I was in a major city it was fast so I know it wasn't the phone. Save yourself some heartache and go with T Mobile.

Sina an outside sales representative with AT&T is a complete scammer. He lied to me and didn’t tell me AT&T does not buy out contract from old carrier. He took me iPhone 15 pro max and iPhone 15 which I know owe Verizon $1945 for, switched me to AT&T and the credit for my phones he added it to the iPhone 15 pro max with AT&T as a bill credit for 36 months.

After an hour, I came to know they deactivate my number as I was attempted to call. I went to store and requested to fixed my phone but they said customer service is closed and nobody even manager does not know how to fix my phone and my network is off. I asked to check all of the numbers connected to my account. They said network does not exist and my account does not exist. They told me, I have to go home and I have to come tomorrow, because they don't know how to do their job and they were so rude, so I become rude too and left.
I came home. I scan that esim with doubt and now I have physical sim and I have esim.

I got this service with the idea that the hot spot would be a good fit for my partner and I. At the end of this fiasco, we ported his number (I got a new one, it was easier) half way through December. I called the company once we ported his number on the 17th of December. On the n12th of December, we paid the prorated bill for November. I have been receiving bills from AT&T for November, AND the partial month of December for 5 months now. I have been trying to call them, however, when I called the number referenced on the paper bill, I was repeatedly told by the automated system that my phone was not through AT&T (duh.) and to call MY service provider. This is unhelpful, if AT&T wants money.
I finally reached a customer service agent today, who told me that my bill was prorated and that the payment in December was therefore NOT for November. After being talked down to like I don't have a college degree (in accounting, and I do) I finally just gave up, and gave them and EXTRA month, plus the partial. As a side note, I spoke with the company when I got the first bill after porting the number, made the partial payment, and was told we were all set. Apparently, this call was lost, as was the payment. There are some serious billing issues in this company. I have found better, cheaper, completely unlimited service at a different company (Visible, in case you're wondering) for less than half the going rate of crap service and double billing from AT&T.

Buyer Beware Upgrading your phone: In early January 2024, I discovered that my phone was eligible for a replacement upgrade. Following the online upgrade process, I selected a new iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the replacement device was promptly delivered. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when I received a box containing my original phone with a message stating, "We were unable to complete your return due to the wrong device being turned in." Upon contacting customer service to resolve the matter, I learned that the original IMEI numbers for my wife's and my phones had been erroneously reversed in the system.
Despite online records correctly displaying my chosen phone for replacement, the system indicated otherwise, causing a significant dilemma. The proposed solution from AT&T is to send in my wife's phone for the exchange, jeopardizing her current device, which she does not wish to replace. Alternatively, I face the prospect of not receiving the credit for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and being charged the full amount for the new device.
Despite multiple discussions with customer service representatives, they refuse to correct the problem. At&T’s system did not prompt for IMEI number verification or offer any opportunity to confirm key details during the upgrade process. Additionally, requests to review the call footage of the initial order have been declined, further complicating the situation. This experience has been disheartening, especially considering the initial clerical error made when the phones were ordered. AT&T is stating that our only viable option is to send in my wife’s perfectly good phone with us retaining the glitchy one, or losing the upgrade credit. Both of those are unacceptable for a clerical error they created. Do yourself a favor and stick with Verizon! @AT&T #AT&T #AT&Tcustomerservice

I recently wanted to take advantage of the discount for a new phone when sending your old one in for trade-in credit. I was told I would get $600 trade-in. I realized a couple months later that I had not received the discount for the new phone on my bill. I chose the $1,000 phone, which I would never do. I thought I was getting it for $400.
I chatted with AT&T. It took entirely too long for them to even find proof that they received the old phone, and then I was told that the battery was bad, so I wouldn’t get a credit of any amount. I asked that they send the old phone back to me then, as I could sell it and make some money back. They refused. They said they do not send phones back. So, I’m assuming they sold my used phone as well as getting me for $1,000 for a new one. I should also note that I never received an email or text stating that they received my phone. I never received any type of inspection results, or anything. They also required the serial number of the phone in order to look it up in their system, which I just happened to have written down. This seems like a bad business practice and opens them up to litigation.

Now I am trying to exit AT&T simply because the cost is too high from where I was before. And they're telling me that I am in a 36-month agreement code and code. Not a contract. How is that agreement and not a contract if you're locking me in for 36 months. I did not agree to that.

I will forward this to my local Attorney General and Better Business Bureau. You cannot escape the rules and finding a loophole between a contract and an agreement.

They told me unfortunately it has been too long on my account and no back pay was owed to me for a line I never initiated. I was offered nothing, for my loyalty to this company. Yes, I will be looking for a new company in the future.

AT&T is the worse company I’ve ever experienced. They no nothing about hooking devices up, nothing about billing, nothing about customer service. They take advantage of seniors advertising aarp discounts only to sucker you into their price increases and lies. Beware seniors! Att is a scam so is aarp.!

Do NOT go with AT&T if you don't want to get ripped off, zero help, care, or concern for your experience. I was added to an account as an additional line and the phone I received was a brand new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. It did not work at all to connect to the internet, call, text, use GPS, etc. The only thing it was good for was taking photos. I had to be connected to wifi for ANY functionally and even then, functionally was hit or miss. I went in person to countless AT&T stores, in different states, different towns, on countless occasions, sometimes alone, sometimes with the account owner, sometimes with my boyfriend. All of them witnessed this unfold. SO many wasted hours re-explaining myself and the issues (because why would they ever put notes in an account)?
Sim cards replaced multiple times, HOURS upon HOURS on the phone with their customer service line, an app installed (because according to some of them, 5g isn't real and I needed the app to switch it back to 4g), all the settings reviewed multiple times, a whole lot of "huh" and "doesn't make sense", but ZERO fixes. All while this was still a BRAND NEW phone under 1 year old. I was told by AT&T that I needed to go to a repair shop because they could not help. I went to 2 separate shops- they both said they didn't understand why AT&T wouldn't stand by the phone they sold me, but they also couldn't help me and I needed to go through Samsung because whatever it was was not fixable by them. After I filed the claim with Samsung, Samsung replaced the motherboard (after mailing it in and physically waiting for it to be fixed and shipped back, roughly 2 weeks) and sent it back to me, allegedly fixed and functioning with no issues.
After it STILL did not work, Samsung stated that AT&T was the issue. All this time I am STILL paying for the phone AND for service that I did not receive. While I owned this phone and experienced all these issues I lived in upstate NY, Charlotte NC, Phoenix AZ, and went on multiple work trips to large cities with great coverage - all with no change in my situation or the functionality of the phone. I moved to a new city and could not call, text, or use GPS or the internet. I was stranded and felt so unsafe because of this unreliable and unreal situation. I cried in parking lots outside of AT&T stores after going in and imploring with them again to fix this- all with zero result. Their ONLY answer was that I could pay off the phone and try again or go elsewhere.
I FINALLY had to put the remaining amount owed on a credit card to get the eff away from them and go to a different provider. This provider told me they hear this same unfortunate story often from AT&T customers who got basically screwed by this "company" and they helped me SO much. Day ONE with that other provider and I cannot believe the difference. This phone WORKS, as the AT&T one should have. Absolute shame on you AT&T for taking advantage of people who cannot afford to be taken advantage of. It's disgusting. Consumers, beware. Do not sign up with AT&T.

Would give ZERO STARS if I could. We made the move from T-Mobile to AT&T about a year ago. Cost us much more but thought we would get better service, signal and customer support. We moved all our devices over and had them unlocked by T-Mobile to do so. We've determined their cost is too high for what we get so making the change to Mint Mobile. Ordered the Sim cards, got the transfer PIN from AT&T and ported our numbers over last night expecting to be up and running in 10 mins on the new service. NOPE...come to find out, AT&T locked our already unlocked phones without our knowledge therefore we can't get service right now on our 3 lines. Requested AT&T to unlock them which is usually pretty quick since it's an automated system issue and we had paid our bill in advance so no hold ups for payment and still not unlocked.
Was on phone for an hour with customer service that reported they had submitted an unlock request but for some reason it wasn't processing and that it will require a special team to troubleshoot and unlock AND that team happens to not be in today...the whole team, everyone that can unlock a phone from the entire AT&T company apparently. Received a text confirming they put in a ticket but 'expect resolution in 8 days'...pushed and maybe tomorrow, will see. Phones never should have been locked in the first place and because they can't get their act together, I have to do without service for who knows how long and they continue to bill me with services left in limbo. PATHETIC.

I switched from T-Mobile/Sprint to AT&T around Thanksgiving 2023. Since that time, I have received around 200 spam calls from all across the country, many of those with multiple numbers from the same cities. I have live chatted at least five times, physically gone into a store, and called last night to finally just change my number even though I do not really want to do that. I have even installed the recommended 'blocker' app from AT&T to block these calls and it will not stop. It's not happening with my other three family members who switched. I had the same phone number for ten years with Sprint/T-Mobile and never had these issues. I can only guess that my number was 'sold' to telemarketers when I made the switch? It's always Medicare, funeral expenses, other insurance/health care, etc.
It is 1:10 p.m. EST on a Wednesday as I type this and I have received 7 calls today. I wondered why customer service kept changing the subject when I mentioned changing my number and I was finally told that I would lose my promotional rate if I switched numbers within the first 90 days. Really?? So I am forced as a new customer to deal with this every day? It is extremely annoying and I wish I had just stayed with my previous carrier at this point. I am certain someone could make an exception about changing my number (which again, I should not even be forced to consider), but I was told they wouldn't do it. Please proceed with caution if you are considering a switch. This is beyond frustrating...

I am a loyal AT&T customer of over 10 years. I pay my bill monthly automatically and have never missed a payment. I have a perfect credit score of over 800 and a credit card with a $20,000 limit. I own my current iPhone 10 outright. I decided I needed to upgrade so I went to my local AT&T retail store. I spent an hour with the agent and eventually decided I would go with the iPhone 15 pro, a $1,000 phone. We discussed trading in my current phone, etc. I gave him my credit card and he swiped it. It went through no problem. I gave him my driver’s license and he asked me for the PIN for my account, which was correct.
I was getting excited about my new phone. He said, “there’s just one more thing” and he put me on the phone with someone from the fraud department I assume. They wanted to verify my identity. I was asked a series of very personal questions, about how old my son is and where he lives, identify a car I used to own, how tall I am, and then one bizarre question which I couldn’t answer: what is the nickname of the college football team where I went to school. I didn’t know, so based on that (I think!) I was denied!! They wouldn’t approve my purchase!!! And I begged them to tell me why! They refused to tell me why! I wasted two hours of my life trying to buy a phone and left empty-handed. I was completely dumbfounded but also really pissed!! I went home, still furious, and bought an iPhone directly from Apple online, which will be delivered tomorrow. And they didn’t make me answer a single question. This was a truly humiliating and frustrating experience for me. I will never go into an AT&T store again.

We recently made a decision to make a move from Verizon to AT&T FirstNet. We have used AT&T in the past and thought it would possibly benefit us to try again with the new options for law enforcement. Under the plan, we included the purchase of a new phone for my elderly mother. For a few weeks, she complained that she could not figure out how to use the phone. Out of frustration the decision was made to attempt a simple phone offered by another company.
When we spoke to AT&T to move the phone to a different number that was already on the account the answer was an absolute no. There is no option to change the number on the phone. Even though it is the same account. They are demanding the payment in full be made on the phone now and it is Christmas. We were told the cost would be $140 a month. So far we have received two bills. The first was the first payment we made over $550 in September. This cluster with the phone that my old Mom could not work is going to result in a +$600 bill in December. These people do not know how much you will pay for the product you get and have absolutely zero empathy for elderly people who are not tech savvy. Shame on this company.

He stated I would just need to provide proof that she worked in a medical office to receive the discount. Went to the ATT Wireless store and was told I would need to contact customer support to have this done. I called customer support and was told that we did not qualify for the discount, because even though my wife works in a medical office because she is not a licensed practitioner she did not qualify.

A few years ago, I upgraded to a new iPhone at a local branch. After I got home, none of my info had downloaded, and the phone wasn’t working properly. I called headquarters & they told me they would send me a new phone, as well as a prepaid box to send my nonworking phone back in. I packed it in that supplied box, dropped it off at USPS. The box had a tracking number on it. Since AT&T will charge you the full price of the phone if they don’t receive it, or receive it in a timely manner, I kept trying to track it, but was unable to. I finally called the number of the warehouse in TX that it was shipped to. I spoke with a woman who told me they did get my phone, but it hadn’t been scanned in yet.
I thought I was good to go. Nope. Got a bill for the full price of the phone (the one that didn’t work). As I was fighting this charge, my Dad and I did extensive research, and found that this was common. We also found out that AT&T used a 3rd party courier service that picked the phone packages up at post offices across the U.S. Turns out the tracking numbers on these packaged phones being sent back were fake. I was on the phone with the administrative assistant 3 times. She tried to tell me that AT&T had no knowledge of this, that it was all the courier service’s fault. But AT&T provided the prepaid boxes and the tracking numbers. The FAKE tracking numbers.
For YEARS, AT&T had people sending defective phones back to warehouses, but claimed they never got them, and charged people full price for the phones. People couldn’t track the phones, because the tracking numbers were bogus. Pretty sure this is illegal. My dad and I contacted multiple agencies regarding this. MY bill was adjusted accordingly, but what about the hundreds of other people who were defrauded? As far as I know, none of the agencies I contacted did anything to hold AT&T accountable, and I don’t believe there were any consequences.

I would leave zero stars for this company if I could... You wait hours at a branch to correct mistakes, for nothing... They make incessant mistakes then refuse to correct those mistakes, all at your expense.

Section 5: Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices***
On 10/3/22, I received a promotion from AT&T for home internet. I called them & spoke with Kayce. She informed me about a cell phone promotion. Not only would they provide better service but match the bill. The total price was 2 lines for $110+tax/month ($55 a line/month) & a $20/month credit due to us using our own devices, making the bill $90+tax/month total. I told her I purchased a new phone 3 weeks ago but had concerned my provider (Boost Mobile) would not be compatible with AT&T and feared it would lock. She said if it's PAID OFF it will work. After double checking in her system, Kayce was certain she could activate it. When she attempted to import my number, the call dropped, the phone locked, and I was left with no phone.
Kayce & the activation support team attempted to troubleshoot but was unsuccessful. I was told to go to multiple locations including my old provider which informed me that ATT owns my number now and wouldn't give it back them. I went back to ATT store location. They wanted me to buy a phone from them with no payment plan due to being a new customer policy probationary period. I explained to them I had just bought a Galaxy S21 weeks ago for around $800 new. They need to fix this. They told me there is nothing he can do and to call corporate. I told him That they advised me to go to multiple location, this being one of them. The next day I went into another location (5180 state Rte 100, PALM COAST, FL 32164). ** was my sales rep. He told me I was lied to by Kayce. However, he has a promotion to where I would receive a free phone if I turned in my old phone.
He explained that the "free phone trade promotion" will in essence be discounted by monthly bill credits that AT&T will give back on your bill for the 36-month installment plan. He would also honor $10 off monthly for my wife having her own phone all the mess but this would take 2-3 billing cycles to see the credits. He even told me "The phone doesn't even have to work, and they would take anything." I still turned in my galaxy s9. It was it good working order. The rep said it will be fine and I will start receiving the monthly credits in a couple months.
My bill quoted was $130+ tax as explained by **. My bill is $175. I have to complain for months only to be hung up on, put on hold, told it will be fixed and to give it a few more billing cycles, months go by and still no results. Almost 8 months later (4/23) they gave me $400 credit which is less than the agreement. By switching to AT&T I have raised my bill 200% and had to purchase 2 brand new phones, AND a S9 they had me trade in.
After calling today I spoke with a manager named Kevin who told me that the reason I didn't receive my $800 in credits is because my phone arrived one day late, and the promotion ended making me ineligible for the promo & they will credit me a total $17.50. I asked how did it arrive late? I did as they instructed and used their shipping & even dropped it off early. If I was ineligible for the promotion, how was I not inform when I dropped off the trade in phone? I also asked him why AT&T said they will rectify the problem every time I called? Kevin then hung up on me. In short, I'm Locked out of my phone, had my bill double, and was forced to buy another $800 phone without any care for the customer. You simply can't treat people like this.

Trying to resolve a billing issue that occurred do to fraud on the card that was on file for auto pay each month. My bank cancelled a card that was replaced. Due to the cancellation I was charge a late fee and and denied the auto pay discount. I replaced the billing card info and requested to resume autopay, however it was not processed and more late fees and no discount for the auto pay. I called to speak to an agent who told me it takes 4-6 weeks to process auto pay and that he could not refund any of the fees charged. With a policy like that I will be changing to a company that values loyal customers. Be advised that AT&T does not care and will not do what is right or fair to keep a customer

They tuned an $86/month into $290/Month in a flash! I was hit with close to $200 of roaming charges when I did not even use their SIM card! I was overseas and bought a local SIM card and turned off roaming on my phone but somehow they manage to rip me off. I called their customer service, they kept bouncing me from one person to another and in the end, they offer 50% off and when I pushed for a full correction and credit, they removed the credit. My advice is this company used to be good, now they are all about scamming their customers, their marketing gimmicks evolve around fine print where they get you to switch and get a free phone, just to find out that your free phone comes with 4 year contract! I turned my new phone in for an Iphone, and the way they credit you is to give you $18/month credit for the phone you turned in and for you to get the full credit, you must remain with them for 3+ years!

AT&T contacted me to finally give me some kind of resolution and I accepted it.
Original Review: Sept. 7, 2023
I switched from Tmobile to AT&T after I got lured by lies and trade-in for new phones. It turned to be the mistake of my life that I will have to pay for it for three years. They lied about the service, about the cost and they used whatever trick they could to lure you to transfer and after you get stuck with them and find out about their lies then it become too late to back up or you have to pay for the total price of the new phones you traded-in in order to leave them before the three years. Be careful and don't fall into my stupid mistake.

An AT&T representative came to our home when we moved in. She made promise after promise and put it in writing. A store in Manhattan, Kansas “lost” one of our phones, so no discounted phone and refusal to review cameras even when speaking with the store manager. We contacted all kinds of numbers, and we were transferred from here to eternity with no progress. Another phone was supposed to be free when an old phone was returned, and they only discounted rather than dismissed the charges for the new phone. Attempts to resolve despite paperwork were denied with excuses. We are paying more than $50.00 per month more than the quoted price, and again, no resolutions. Now, AT&T is reducing our discounted pricing for autopay because we refuse to use our bank account with ANYONE.
This is a discriminatory practice, and we have received two different reasons for this: one being a rate increase charged by our credit card company (we called and they have not increased their transaction rate) and the other due to “many people” committing credit card fraud. Lies, AT&T… It really sounds like lies. I asked about the rates being charged to use our bank account rather than our credit card for payment, and… for some reason, the call center reps don’t have this information. What is AT&T trying to hide? Greed! Run from AT&T as fast as you can! Don’t do any business with this company. It is time for consumers to shut them down. We never had these issues with our other phone carrier. We never had issues with DirecTV until AT&T took over! So done!

Requested my 2 lines to be disconnected months ago. They still charge my card. called customer service 5 times wasting 4 hours of my time, and 4 times they drop the call after they keep putting me on hold for long time. They see that I have called and requested the line to be disconnected and admitted it, BUT their customer service overseas can't solve nothing. Very bad experience with this company.

Phone trade in sounds like a lure to a contract like plan based on reviews, well for me I never had the chance to find out. First they were going to mail me a return kit, never got. Couple months go by I'm paying over $100 for a single line. So I call, they say they don't do that and to go in the store. Go in the store and she says the offer expired after 30 days. Now I'm forced to pay full price $900 bucks for a phone I was supposed to get for free and that they are now giving away for free. When I saw that I just canceled and ported my number back too. They already gave me the $500 visa gift card to help offset the damage this AT&T nightmare has caused. Good service in my area but not any better than what is offered cheaper elsewhere!

AT&T charged me $560 over the past 16 months for a line that was cancelled in April 2022. No matter who I spoke with, they refused to refund more than 90 days ($105). They claim it that I had to "call in" to cancel the line even though I physically turned in the broken device and cancelled the line at an AT&T store. I have been a loyal AT&T customer for over 20 years. I am switching carriers.

First net is a joke!! I joined to get the first responders discount when I went to AT&T to upgrade my phone and they told me about this. They then told me I was getting a “free” iPad for joining which I didn’t even want but took it since it was “free”. Well come to find out the iPad had service that was not free and I got charged over 5,000 for TWO months because apparently it got disconnected from Wi-Fi somehow and was being charged for basically every minute my kids was watching movies!! I got not one single emails or calls even notifying me that this was happening and woke up to my bank account being drained over this. I’m literally going to be homeless with 2 children now. So thank you so much for caring so much for us first responders. What a joke.

Trying to get to a live person and actual service - with the notable exception of presenting yourself in person at their store - is the most aggravating experience ever, resulting in zero results. If a group of genius programmers and HR people spent a lifetime designing a way to stop customers from ever reaching anyone and getting real help, they couldn't have done a better job.
At the moment I am trying to chat with someone and that pitiful customer "service" person, after taking minutes on end to respond to each text, completely ignoring my requests and repeatedly cutting and pasting the exact same irrelevant texts, just cut me off. His last message, arriving minutes after my last specific request, was that obviously I am too busy, they understand, and I could reach them later. And he cut me off! I am now on an endless wait for some other "helpful" person to join the chat. I now recall clearly why I left AT&T to begin with and as soon as my one-month pre-pay plan is over I am out of there. How they stay in business is a mystery.

Have been a loyal AT&T customer for years now and up to this point have had a relatively pleasant experience. Then I went to "upgrade" my phone at a Costco and the entire transaction has been nothing short of a disaster. Now, rather than receiving a credit of $800, I was charged for them "not receiving my phone" which was paid off and confirmation via text/shipping confirmation the phone was received with no credit. We have receipts of purchase and what was promised, the promotion, record of all payments and text from AT&T confirming receipt of the phone and they are still not honoring the credit which was the entire reason we purchased the phone.
There were a couple of customer service reps we dealt with who were excellent but they were not credentialed to approve so spent hours on the phone with nothing in return and have to retell the story repeatedly with no intention/capacity to resolve. I see other reviews which look similar. We are fortunate this doesn't crush us financially but nearly $1,000 is a decent chunk of change and there are likely a lot of people really struggling. There may be a class action opportunity here as these actions are outright predatory.

My company has been with AT&T Wireless including internet services for over 10 years. Yes, 10 years, and in the last year customer care and billing services have gone down terribly. I do believe AT&T has contracted out these services to an overseas distributor and this was a terrible move. I have had services interrupted 3 times this year alone due to error in payment posting, systems not recording accurately, supposedly, operators not accurately recording payment arrangements, and just plain inconsideration for a tenured customer.
I am truly thinking about getting my team some BOOST phones and services and calling it a day. I am up in my age, my company has been in existence for over 30 years, with almost half of that time with AT&T. Why is it difficult to receive continuity to be provided for my company and some sort of appreciation for being a loyal customer? At this time I feel that AT&T is not for the small business. We are not appreciated by this organization at this time.
