I will never recommend anybody to use AT&T phone services. Absolutely the worst customer care, including customer care and In store. They can’t even assist with a simple phone upgrade. They messed up my entire account. If you go to a local store, they really don’t care to help you unless you’re buying something new. Customer service will continuously transfer you keeping you on the phone for hours, and then still can’t help you. I absolutely hate this company.

I did not realize that prepaid phone sims and cards from AT&T are truly a promised contract that you must fulfill. First off, when you but the sim card you must pay $30 to activate it! Then after that you must pay $30 every 26 days in order to have your prepaid service active or else they deactivate it you have to pay to activate it again! This is opposite of what prepaid is supposed to be. I can not be more disappointed in AT&T for this false advertisement for prepaid. The card you buy directs you to a website that is a hundreds of paragraphs long on what you are agreeing to.
When you buy the sim card and you don't keep it active by at least 1 payment every 3 months they will deactivate your sim card you purchased and make it useless thus forcing you to buy one in the future if you use them again. I will never use this service again nor any other cell phone companies that practices in this way. They should not be advertising as prepaid because it actually is a commitment that a customer has to keep unknowingly unless they read the hundreds of paragraphs that is available online att.com/prepaidterms.

I have had good cell coverage, but when calling their customer service to see if my phone was unlocked, they said it would take 1-3 business days to figure this information out (I have NO idea why it takes so long). 5 business days later, I got an email saying my phone was locked. I called to see how much was owed on it, and customer service said to disregard the email, my phone is unlocked. As it turns out, it was locked, making me go two days without phone service.
On another call, I was informed I had a $9 credit but was overcharged $48. One rep said he didn't know what was happening and would reverse the charge, then transferred me. The next guy told me that there was an "overcharge," which was reversed 2 hours after it was changed, but I wasn't informed that I had an unpaid balance. Two days later, I got a late fee notice and was told that the reversed charge was supposed to be there, and I now owe a late fee of $41. Horrible customer service!!!

Be VERY careful. I have heard of a bunch of people being quoted one monthly fee and getting billed a substantially higher fee. I was quoted $81 and am being billed $244. I have been trying for 6 months to get this fixed. Every time I check it's just another story or excuse. The district manager even opened a case two months ago and still has not resolved my issue. Do nothing without written proof if you must do business with this location. Corporate seems to be unwilling to solve this and are choosing to back the store manager. See google reviews for more stories like mine. Lot more to the story. It would blow your mind if I told it.

I currently use AT&T for my wireless provider. The way they conduct their business is ridiculous. I have 5 phone lines with them and only one of the lines has the upgrade offer, where you pay a small fee each month so at any point you want to upgrade you can. How is one line signed up but not the other 4. Why would we have that service on only one? They said that it has to be an add on at the time of purchase and I didn't ask for the addition. Well, guess what? I didn't ask for it on the 1 line that has it either but it has it. How convenient for them. And why can no one seem to answer my questions about it? And of course there is nothing they can do. I pay hundreds of dollars each moth and they are by far the most unprofessional cell company to date.

I recently bought a couple accessories for a new iPhone at the AT&T store in Hillsboro, TX, & one of them was defective & kept falling off. So I went back to the store to hopefully get it replaced & they told me I had to come back the next day to speak with a manager. So I come back the next day & the manager says that I told the girl the day before that I dropped my phone & that is why the camera protector would not stay in place. First of all, I never dropped my new phone nor did I ever say to the salesperson that I dropped my phone. She put the camera protector on my phone for me right after I purchased it, & it never stuck properly. It fell off on its own that same day. So she not only put it on wrong, she then lied to her manager trying to blame me. They did not replace it. I had to buy a new one, but insisted on putting it on my phone myself. Please be careful of these dishonest people & take your business elsewhere. They are not helpful & not honest.

When dealing with my father’s estate after he passed away, AT&T was by far my biggest headache! They would not allow me to cancel his service over the phone. When going to the store to provide documentation of his death, I had to wait over an hour to be helped. I was told by the store that I would receive a final bill to be paid… I went to the store to pay by check (I told them I was paying by check when I walked in the door) only to wait another 15 minutes to then be told they don’t accept checks and have no idea where I should mail the payment! I have never seen such incompetence! Dealing with the death of a loved one is hard enough! They shouldn’t purposefully make it harder!

I want to put the truth out there. I have honestly invested at least 24-40 HOURS of my life being back and forth on the phone with agents and managers constantly being given promises and assurances that the issue with my booking is resolved and it won’t happen again to only harden AGAIN A WITHIN THE NEXT BILLING CYCLE. I’m exhausted and I’m tired and I’m why frustrated I could literally cry because I feel like I’m going in circles I’m going backwards and I never get anything resolved.
In fact it just gets more messed up and every agent tells me a totally distant reason as to why the issues are happening (on their end). I even had a rep tell me to disregard the text about losing my credits which came so fast after just resolving them that when I called in she got angry with me telling me she assures me to disregard the text. It wasn’t meant for me and now I’m being told due to me not rewinding to the text I’m ineligible for the credits I had been promised. This is crazy that they are allowed to remain open and take money from people and lie and do things however they choose to which is always unethical and I would recommend this company even if you offered me a million dollars- I would never want anyone to ever have to go through all I’ve gone through. It’s insane and it’s not ok.

I thought he was with the internet changeover, he asked to come in the house, come to find out he was a att in home sales rep selling cellphone, Vernon **, he went back and forth with his Mgr on the phone about discounts and promotions, he finally gave me a monthly price total, I went over with him I needed total, tax fees everything monthly total! I even called him back not long after he left to confirm monthly total, he agreed everything was what he told me.
I started getting bills online for a higher price than what he said, I tried calling customer service and the salesman back, Mr. ** then says he hasn't been with att but several months. Att says I was responsible for the bills. After long waits and being lied to again by customer service, and the sales guy I finally got it cancelled but has cost be $400.00 + , I didn't ask for a salesman to come to my house that day. He came in my house and lied several times to me and it has cost me lot of time and money, I can't believe att can get away with doing business like this.

I am extremely disappointed with the experience I’ve had with your customer agents. They have demonstrated incompetence and misled me into agreements without transparency. Despite my specific service requests, they chose to proceed differently. Due to these issues, I have decided to cancel my lines.

I in error switched my cellphone provider from T-Mobile to AT&T. Biggest mistake I could've ever made. Have had nothing but trouble ever since. Tried getting help online, by phone and in store with no help. Here are just a few issues I've experienced: phone does not ring for incoming calls at times and doesn't show me there was a call I only find out when I go to current calls. When I miss a call and it goes to voicemail at times it tells the caller they've reached and invalid voicemail box and won't allow a voice message. This has occurred for friends, family and even doctors' offices. Callers have been told the number they tried calling was invalid. Attempting to contact this company by phone or online is like trying to pull a tooth out of an awake grizzly near, and as much fun too.

I have emerged from a nearly 3-week process of calls and face-to-face meetings that consumed several hours per day. I started the journey with confidence and peace of mind. My spirit and well-being declined as I got lost in a series of mistakes, deception and fearfulness. In the end, I had to accept defeat and take whatever the AT&T would give me. Maybe you can learn a lesson from my travails and avoid similarly bad results. Or maybe you will get the same bad results but feel solace knowing that at least one other person has deeply suffered at the hands of the phone company. My sad story follows.
Happiness. Three and a half years ago I moved to a foreign country. I found a phone company that catered to English speakers and started service. I had a local number. And I kept my USA number so that people could easily contact me. It was a 917 New York City number that I had for over 20 years. I stopped paying AT&T for this number and they “ported” it to my foreign carrier. I still had an AT&T account because I pay the mobile bill for two of my kids. Having two numbers on one phone was ideal. If you are a friend from the USA you can call my old number. If you are a friend from my new country, you can call my local number.
Turmoil. I marched into the AT&T store my first day back in the USA, bought an iPhone 16 and requested that they "port" my old 917 number to my new phone. That is when confusion and misrepresentation started. AT&T said "No problem. Wait 24 hours and it will be done". It wasn't. Then I was told it would take another 24 hours because the phone company in the other country would not release the number. I called that foreign company and they said that they had released my 917 number to AT&T. I called AT&T and they said that they had discovered that the address was incorrect on my account. This was surprising because my wife's phone worked and had been accepted by AT&T. Why wasn't my phone getting set up?
I made 7 visits to the AT&T store in Highland Park and got to know everyone who works there. They were powerless and were shut down, misdirected and deceived by other AT&T departments. The "porting department" told them that they never allowed numbers to be ported out or back. They accused me of lying. Luckily my wife's phone worked given that I had lost all cell service. I made between 16-19 calls to various AT&T numbers and was always brushed off. I asked to escalate the issue with top management. They sent me to the insurance department. Every call required hours of navigating through menus and being on hold for long periods of time. No kidding, each call could last up to an hour or more.
Surrender. I received an email from AT&T telling me that my service was cancelled. I walked into the AT&T store and got a new number. The store people were sympathetic and happy to accept my defeat. I had saved my wife's number and could not save mine. For the last two weeks, I have been updating dozens of apps and informing friends and vendors of my new contact info. Very difficult because security protocol frequently requires a confirming call with the number they have on file, which has been shut down.
Perseverance. My father and mother worked at AT&T. My first job out of business school was AT&T. I feel some loyalty to this bureaucratic giant. My friends have plenty of bad stories about Verizon, T- Mobile etc. I am reasonably sure that I can navigate myself back to a happy connected life. But the truth is that I took a loss and the bureaucratic Gods of AT&T have won. Just to demonstrate their complete dominance, they sent me an email today. It says something like here is a summary of the results of our recent interaction. And then, the letter is blank but signed by an AT&T manager.

I was on someone else’s account, and ended up taking my two lines and transferring them onto my own account. When this is done, they ONLY allow you to do it over the phone. After the transfer - My insurance was taken off not only my 2 devices but my girlfriend’s 2 devices on the previous line as well. ATT told me I couldn’t have insurance because it has to be there from the first 30 days. This took 6 - 1 to 2 hour phone calls to get straightened out.
Then the next bill was extremely high at $220. I called ATT and was told I would get a credit for the one month and that would bring it down to 180. The representative told me, "your next bill and the following ones after will be 130 plus taxes and fees. This mistake was due to you being on a 1 gb plan instead of unlimited. I promise this issue will never happen again." Fast forward a month. My bill is $812.
I was still on the 1 gb plan and I have called over 15 times in the past month. I literally got hung up on 5 times and put on hold and they never came back 5 times. 5 different times ATT tells me they are ,"creating a case" but can’t tell me the case number because it takes 3 business days to generate. So when I call back they ask for a case number and I can’t give it to them and they can’t look it up. A rep told me a few days ago my bill will be $160. Perfect. But it’s not updated on the account. And my bill is late and still showing I owe $710 . I cannot even begin to fathom how anyone can run a company with such horrible customer service. I’ve never seen anything so disorganized in my entire life. Go somewhere else. Even if it’s twice the cost I assure you that would be a great decision.

We had this service for less than 24 hours. We were lied to about transferring service from our previous provider. Our bill was suppose to be less each month, we were told to drop off our old phones to an AT&T store once we received our new phones, and our current phones would be paid in full for transferring service. Went to drop off the phones at AT&T and were told we were mislead and we have to mail back the phones and we should have received boxes. We were told we could have kept our current phones, we were told our bill was the same as our previous provider, and were told we were “scammed”. We waited for 4 hours and never spoke to an AT&T representative. A nightmare to transfer back to previous provider. Stay away, pay a little more if needed. This was just a ridiculous experience.

We have been customers of AT&T Wireless for years, but due to the high rates for AT&T we opted to go to another carrier. It took 4 phone calls to AT&T, with numerous persons, and many lies on AT&T's part. We finally contacted our new carrier explaining that AT&T would not unlock our cell phones (which we own!!). Once contacted by our new carrier AT&T shut off our service with no notice (service is paid in full for 2 more weeks). I have congestive heart failure, so AT&T's lack of customer service and shutting down our cell phones was unacceptable and medically dangerous to me!!! I urge anyone thinking of using AT&T to go somewhere else and use any other wireless company!!! AT&T is lucky we are not contacting an attorney regarding the phone and service turn off prior to the end of our contract!!!!

A scammer took over my daughter's phone number by purchasing a new phone and activating it with a new eSim on the new phone. It's easy enough to file a report on the fraud, however I have worked through 3 different phone numbers in the last 4 days and still have 0 progress on getting my daughter's phone turned back on with her phone number. I've spoken to people from Oklahoma to Cairo Egypt and still have yet to speak with anyone in the fraud department, which everyone says is the only ones that can fix the issue.
They continue to say they will send her a text to confirm her identity. How is she supposed to confirm through a text if her phone doesn't work? I have called the Fraud number for two days now and about 20+ calls only to get ANDY the virtual assistant that can't do anything. She's just there to make you think someone is answering. This is ridiculous. This will be the last day of me dealing with this with the same company because I will switch by tomorrow if this isn't resolved. I have 7 lines open with iPads, Watches and Phones and I will change every one of them. The Fraud Dept. is a Fraud.

I just purchased an Android tablet S10 from the AT&T store. An hour later when I got home, I decided I did not want it. Because I want the iPad Pro-13. I called AT&T right away to cancel the order, I spoke with 3 representatives, and I was told I could not cancel because the order was already being processed to ship. That is a serious inconvenience for the customer because this is Thanksgiving eve, and tomorrow is Thanksgiving and nothing is going to ship out between tonight and Thursday November 28th, 2024. I have been with AT&T over a decade, I will certainly take my business to its competitor. I wish, I could give AT&T zero star. The tablet will be shipped to their store, now I have to wait to return the tablet at the time. I do not want it!!!!

I moved to the mission district San Francisco, on Valencia street in the last week of October. In my previous apartment, I was using AT&T Internet and wanted to shift the AT&T Internet device in my new apartment. It did not work because of some wiring issues in the building. AT&T arranged a visit of technician to fix it on October 28th.
The appointment was at 9 AM, but scam started around 8:55 AM, there was a person on my door in AT&T uniform and introduced as Yosef **, manager from AT&T, and said the technician was coming in some time. Then he asked me what carrier I was using for the phone; I told him T-MOBILE. He said his reason to appearing along with technician is that I have been a loyal customer of AT&T Internet for 6 years. AT&T is offering me reduced price if I bundle my internet and all the phone line.
I told him that I am not interested to bundle all my phone line with my internet. He insisted that he have special pricing and he will let me know how much it will cost. He mentioned that to access my internet account, he needs the Driver’s license I provided. Then he mentioned that to provide the reduced price deal he needs to check the model of my and my girlfriend’s mobile phone and IMEI numbers to give a collective price. I gave him the phone make and model and IMEI nos. He said it would be around $250.
I told him I do not want any deal or offers he is offering as it was way too much than what I am currently paying to T-Mobile so I am not interested at all. He tried hard to convince me and also mentioned that it would be one bill for all and we wouldn’t have to change our phone numbers. He even called his manager to convince me. My answer to him and his manager was NO. Before leaving, he gave me his phone no. and told me that this was a special price and this offer is only valid for 15 days but he could lock this offer for us for 15 days. If I would be interested in future, I could call his no. and ask for the same deal and then he left.
On November 14th we received a bill of $266.30 in my mail box from AT&T. I was surprised to see the bill it was for the new AT&T phone lines. Without my consent, he used my information and created 2 new phone lines under my and my girlfriend's name. I have called him multiple times on his phone and tried to call AT&T and running back and forth multiple times in different stores in San Francisco and Daly City for last one week seeking help to find this fraud and close the account. But no one was able to help me, also I came to know he used a wrong email to create the account as he didn’t have my email.
AT&T stores told me they can not close the account as the phones are not active, also email mentioned in the account is wrong and I don’t have 4 digit pass key for this new fake account. Today Nov. 23rd I went to police station and filed a complaint against this fraud case. Also, I have registered a case in AT&T global fraud management. I would like to share this review for the people to understand how AT&T sales team is doing their scam. Please be really careful and do not let this salespeople in your house, usually they come with technicians.

I have been an ATT customer for 25+ years. My cousin passed away on 9/24 and I have been trying to return the iPhone that she purchased under installments in August. For almost 2 months I have spent countless hours either on hold or put in phone loops at ATT. No one knows what to do for me to send the phone back. I was told by a rep to take the phone to an ATT store and they could ship back.
ATT store told me that they could not ship back and that they could not print off a shipping label. I was advised to go to a UPS store and give them her account number and they could print off a shipping label. UPS store stated that I needed to come with the label. I have tried to do the right thing with no help. I can’t even properly grieve the loss of my cousin for the hold times, the transfer times, the driving in car to stores. Your process for something like this is broken. All I need is a shipping label. Your reps have no sympathy or empathy for something like this.

Formal Complaint Regarding Billing Discrepancies, Unfulfilled Promises, and Service Issues. AT&T Customer Service, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a series of billing discrepancies, unfulfilled promises, and unsatisfactory customer service that I have encountered since switching my account to AT&T on July 14th.
On that date, I switched from T-Mobile, bringing over 4 lines, and added an additional line, totaling 5 lines with AT&T. The agreed-upon terms were as follows: Monthly cost: $150 for all 5 lines, including the Unlimited Premium Plan. Reward Cards: $100 visa card for each line switched to AT&T, to be received upon activation.
However, after two billing periods, I have yet to receive any of the promised reward cards, despite following up multiple times. Furthermore, the billing has not matched the terms we agreed upon: 1. First and Second Bills: I was charged the agreed-upon amount of $150 per month, but no cards were issued for the lines switched. 2. Third Bill: My bill unexpectedly totaled $256. When I contacted customer service, I was informed this charge was due to the “Unlimited Premium Plan.” However, this was not what was agreed upon at the start. I was then told I could switch to the Standard Plan for a lower cost.
3. Standard Plan Billing: After switching to the Standard Plan, I was assured my next bill would be $90, which I promptly paid. Despite this, I noticed my upcoming bill is now $230, which contradicts the agreed-upon price of $150 for the Standard Plan. 4. Unresolved reward cards: To date, I have still not received any of the $100 gift cards promised for each line switched.
Despite numerous attempts to resolve these issues through customer service, I have been met with no clear resolution. I simply expect AT&T to honor the terms of the agreement and ensure the following: My bill should not exceed the agreed-upon price of $150 per month for 5 lines under the Standard Plan. I should receive the $100 reward cards for each of the 5 lines switched, as was promised. The customer service team should address this matter promptly and effectively.
I request that this issue be escalated and resolved immediately. I would appreciate a timely response confirming how AT&T plans to rectify these issues and fulfill the promises made to me at the time of the switch. Failure to resolve this matter will leave me with no choice but to pursue other avenues for resolution, including regulatory complaints.

Unbelievable. After looking through the plans offered I decided on one of their pre-paid plans for my wife and I. When I got to the check-out I was informed that something went wrong and directed to call a specific number. My call was transferred through several people and I was directed to a AT&T store (30 miles away) where I was given a different number to call.
After several hours I was told that everything was corrected and my phones were being shipped. I then received a message that they wouldn't ship one of the phones because T-mobile, which was not the current provider, wouldn't released one of the phone numbers. Another hour or so with customer service. Once I received the phones I spent another 3 hours trying to get them activated and was directed to a different store (also 30 miles away). I called that store and was assured they could help. A very friendly and patient person there spent 2 hours on the phone calling several of his contacts (some of which were the same customer service numbers I had called before) and was eventually able to get the phones activated.

Rep over the phone outright lied about sending apple watches that would be paid for with "credits" that did not exist. Rep stated multiple times that the cost of the watches would be immediately offset by credits and to please sign the financing for the watches in order to process the order. Rep then asked for me to pay the taxes on the watches as that was the only thing that these "credits" would not offset.
Found out today while fixing the account issues that she created when improperly bringing on the new line (which was the only reason I had called), that there were no credits and I had been straight up scammed into financing 3x apple watches on my plan. Customer services solution was to offer multiple opportunities for me to simply PAY for the watches anyways at a slightly discounted rate. Kept implying and using language that I HAD LIKELY MISUNDERSTOOD!!! Would not listen to the recorded call and acknowledge that their rep lied. Offered to have feedback sent into their inhouse team to have the issue addressed. This is code for "please leave your negative feedback internally so that we can hide it from the public."
**Do not trust anything a representative says to you over the phone. They lie. They then wasted HOURS of my time pushing a product that I did not even request. Later they then implied that the fault was possibly mine and that I may have misunderstood. They then gave me the wonderful offer to simply pay them for the items anyways like that was a favor. I now have to go out of my way in the middle of yet another work day to send back the items. They acted like refunding me the sales tax I was made to pay was some sort of special favor. And in the end with her deepest condolences and apologies offered to give me a $25 credit for the inconvenience. Absolutely ridiculous...

We have been with AT&T mobile service for almost twenty (20) years. We have four (4) devices. However, after this long term relationship we are looking a dissolving the connection. This is why. Our AT&T plan was setup as: four (4) devices with unlimited talk and text with nine (9) gig monthly data (with rollover). For that service provided we paid a monthly fee that varied very little. In July of 2022 our monthly statement increased five (5) dollars. When AT&T was contacted the reply was 'you are on an old plan that is no longer offered'. The increase is keep this plan you pay the increase. OR you can upgrade to a new plan. If we upgrade to a new plan (that does not fit our needs) the monthly cost would increase about fifty ($50.00) per statement. "We accepted the increase is stayed with our current Plan".
Now, Two (2) years later August 2024, our statement arrives with another increase. When AT&T customer service is contacted about the increase, we are told: you are on a grandfather plan. If you want to keep this plan there is an increase. So, AT&T increased of monthly fee in 2022 because it was an old plan and now our plan is increased again because it is an old plan. I call that double-dipping customers. AT&T increases our plan cost because the plan fits the customers' needs, not AT&T's bottom line. This is how AT&T treats their loyal customers. We were told again that we could move to a new plan but when calculated the new plan has a much higher cost with NO additional services. Best we can see is AT&T wants it their way or they will just increase customer's monthly statements. We are currently looking for a different wireless provider that is more customer caring. AT&T does not appear to be a customer caring company.

AT&T disappointed me in a big way, and I will never use their cell phone service again. Their administration is really poor, and if you've given them a credit card number to debit each month, be very careful. I received conflicting and information from different people, and found their Customer Service really lousy and irritating. Do they even train the people?

In September, after almost thirty (30) years as a loyal AT&T Wireless customer, AT&T decided to raise our rates by $20 a month. The explanation provided stated this additional fee was applied to all "Grandfathered-In" accounts, and intended to pay for their new 5G service. However, our cell phones are not on AT&T's 5G service. So, in reality, this additional $20 monthly fee is aimed at long-term customers, primarily senior citizens, to have us pay for a service we don't yet use.
At this, I informed AT&T Wireless of my intent to switch cellphone services to another wireless provider. Now, after canceling their service, AT&T is billing me for $153.68 for the next full month's wireless service. They claim this is because their services were cancelled one day into the new billing cycle. So, AT&T Wireless is targeting senior citizens for rate increases, then billing them for an extra full month when we cancel their services. WHAT A DEAL!

I have great respect for dedicated retail consultants, especially those I know working for AT&T/|Prime Communications. However, after being lied to by customer service regarding her employment with the company and receiving no response following an apathetic apology from the Office of the President, despite submitting evidence of what I endured at the hands of one of their employees, I will never return as a customer.
This employee’s harassment was severe. Her actions led to a severe sprain in my foot and ankle, resulting in lost wages since I couldn’t work for the rest of the season. She intentionally triggered flashbacks by slamming doors and confronting me at my door, putting me in fear for my life and my children’s safety. She even went so far as to make a false report with Child Protective Services.
I eventually had to move because of her, yet she lied to the courts, stating that I was the reason for the delay in my relocation. When the actual reason was due to scheduling conflicts with inspections by the borough. She even conducted a background check on me—not for any service-related purpose, but to reach out to my ex and support him in court. She manipulated the judges, fully aware of my severe anxiety and status as a disabled veteran with a high mental health rating. She labeled me as “bipolar” to further discredit me, though I live with Borderline Personality Disorder, a deeply painful mental illness. I don’t just “switch off”; I hold onto these impacts for weeks, months, even years. If AT&T wants to recover their money, they’re pursuing the wrong person. I’ve endured more than enough, and this experience has made it clear I deserve far better. To clear any confusion, this employee is a former neighbor.

I've been a customer of AT&T since 2010, I've always paid my bill on time and have had several upgrades over the years without any issues. In September I got an offer to trade in my wife's and my iPhone 12 pro's for $1000 a piece. Normally, I would sell our old Iphones for several hundreds of dollars on eBay and pay off the new phones over time, but this promotion was too good to pass up, so I signed up for it on 9/23/24. So I sent in our trade ins with the box and shipping label that they provided. After waiting over a month for credit, I decided to call AT&T to see what the hold up was since I just got a bill for close to $300 dollars.
The first agent I spoke to said that the plan I have was not eligible for the $1000 per phone trade in. I told him I changed my plan on 9/23/24 and have the emails from them to prove it, he just kept repeating that my plan isn't eligible for the $1000 trade in and transferred me to his manager. His manager repeated the same thing and told me that I would only get under $200 for my trade in. Why would I ever agree to that when I could have sold them on eBay for much more?! They were in perfect condition!
I told him that if you’re not going to honor our agreement then send me back my phones and I’ll return the iPhone 16’s and we’ll call it a day, he then informs me that they can’t do that since been a month and a half. I KNOW I specifically signed up for the $1000 trade in offer, now AT&T are not honoring the agreement, this totally feels like a bait and switch. They have my old phones and now they’re not giving me the credit on them, this all seems illegal. I will NEVER use AT&T again!

AT&T has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Every issue requires not just one, but four to five calls—sometimes even more—just to have a chance at getting it resolved. Each time I call, I’m met with a new answer or conflicting information, making it impossible to feel confident that anyone truly knows how to help. It’s incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. If you’re considering a mobile carrier, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. AT&T used to be known for quality and reliability, but it’s clear that those values have taken a back seat. I’m genuinely disappointed in what this company’s customer service has become.

Unfortunately, ATT has become an extremely unethical company. After more than 10 years of loyalty, our small nonprofit organization for the arts has been treated poorly. ATT lies about credits owed to customers; which are not applied to the corresponding billing cycle, or ever unless we call to complain several times about it. They offer promotions that suddenly end; therefore are not applied to the account, and they use the excuse of technicians on strike to delay support services requested for a week. However, the bill doesn’t reflect the days in which customers were without phone and internet services. Agents constantly apologize but don’t resolve the issue. Additionally, agents lie saying they are supervisors. Shame on this corporation. This comment will be made public to alert others to be aware of unacceptable business conduct by ATT.

Beware! AT&T Wireless is not worthy of one star for a rating. I had to select a one-star in order for my review to be submitted. This company stole from me when I decided to go with the company's service. They sent me 4 new phones to activate my new account. My original cell phone company offered me a better deal. Therefore, I never started an account with AT&T. I sent the new phones back to AT&T within the prescribed timeframe and explained that I wanted them to delete/remove my contact. In turn, they moved forward with processing the contact and with establishing the account. They did not send my refund back because someone within their company stole our 4 phones and they blamed us for the transaction. We had tracking information to show the phones went back to their company.
We were out of 300+ dollars and they promised on several occasions to investigate the situation...that only fell on deaf ears. We made many complaints through their chain of command and then went to the CEO of the company via written email and no one ever responded. I would advise anyone not to use this company for wireless service. They are not honest and have the worst customer service which I have ever seen. They will not follow up with you.

We were caught off guard, but Victor was successful in promising my family money saved on switching our phone service to AT&T, while not incurring any cancellation costs or device termination fees for our existing Verizon plan.
This turned out to be false and we ended up paying almost $1000 to our original phone provider for backing out of our existing service contract, despite Victor sitting down and 'reviewing' our Verizon plan with us and promising that we would not have an issue. I really should have my head examined for believing anything that these unannounced AT&T grifters say, as true. In short, AT&T bill is higher than explained by Victor M, AT&T 5G is nonexistent in our area, and I'll have to pay off the 'free iphone gift' that came with his scam to get out of the current deal.

I’ve been an ATT mobile customer for over 25 years. This time I wanted to upgrade my iPhone, instead of going to an Apple Store or into an ATT store, I processed an upgrade from v14 to iPhone 16 via my ATT mobile app. The descriptions were very confusing. I wanted to replace my phone with the same kind - I have an iPhone plus larger format. Moreover, I was out of town and the device would arrive a week before I returned. I worried about doing the change from my old phone to the new phone by myself, but figured I could just walk into an ATT store for assistance. I had time to do this on my second day back from being away.
I discovered in the ATT store that I had ordered the smaller format phone instead of the larger one, now called “Max” instead of plus. I asked to get the store to return the wrong phone got me, and I was told they could not since they were not a “corporate” store. I drove immediately to a corporate store. There a woman told me I had to call ATT since I had ordered online. I showed her that the app said I had two options to process a return of the phone I did not want, and the second option was to go into a store. She refused. I called ATT while at the corporate store. The phone automation said it would be well over an hour to get a call back.
I drove home but as I had afternoon plans I could not take the time to try to sort it with ATT. The next day I called again and waited over an hour for a call back. The assistant spoke poor English. It took 15 minutes just to spell my name and identify my issue such that maybe this assistant understood. I was told I could only exchange the smaller phone for the larger one. I was told my plan did not allow me to submit my old phone for credit. That was crazy information since the app had readily provided me credit for my old phone when I was ordering the upgrade and even sent me materials for sending my old phone in. By now, I had been on the call, repeatedly put on hold, for over half an hour (not including the hour+ wait for help to come in the first place). I was losing all patience.
Next. after the “new” plan was initiated to allow me to submit my old phone for credit, I’ve now been on the post-wait call for nearly an hour, and the poor English person told me I had to take the smaller phone to UPS THAT DAY or I couldn’t return it. It was nearly 5PM and I live in the country, a good 8-10 miles from the nearest UPS store. I received the return label and now it was over 2 hours with the waiting to be assured the exchange was happening and to make an initial payment. I was not allowed to pay the phone outright (though the app originally provided this option) and I was told my old phone credit would take several (3-4) billing cycles before I received it.
At this point I was fit to be tied. I have zero idea when the larger format phone will arrive. I’m going out of town, out of the country, in 4 days. I returned the smaller phone through 5PM traffic and a long round trip drive that evening. I’m READY to leave ATT forever and get TMobile as soon as I can possibly make the switch.

It went easy and I received the phone on 9/23. I did my data transfer and put in my sim card on 9/25, immediately my account was shut down at 6:15pm. I didn't understand what happened, so I had to use another cell phone to contact AT&T. It took 20 mins to get a rep on the line.
She went through my acct, saw I owed nothing (I always pay my bills on time) and then asked me if I reported a lost/stolen phone. I told her no. She asked me if I had the Google pixel 6 pro and Samsung 24+ phones in front of me and I told her yes. She said ok, but she couldn't fix my acct she would have to transfer me to technical support. This took 45 mins.
Technical support came on the line and started interrogating me. He asked me where I bought the phone, how did I do the transaction, when did I get it. I had to read the EID numbers off each phones and then he put me on hold, then he came back to ask me more questions. At this point I got upset, I told him to review their records since AT&T did the transaction, they sold me the phone, they sent me the phone, they should have everything in their records so stop interrogating me and look everything up.
He put me on hold again and eventually came back on the line to tell me, he is sorry- on Sept. 17th; the phone they sent me was reported stolen. However, it was taken back to the store and then sent to me. When I put my sim card in the phone, it shut down my account since now it looked like I stole the phone. I told him, ok how are you going to fix this since I also use my phone for work. This is unacceptable. It took him another 25 mins to get my acct online, so my sim card could work in my old phone. I had to drop the "stolen phone" to the UPS store so they could receive it(on 9/26).
I called them today, 9/30. Another process getting them on the phone. Another issue getting them to recognize that they now have the "stolen phone" which they have now even started to process. The phone is still on my acct. Even though they admit this is completely their fault once again, I can't get a new phone or have anything done for another 7 days. Then, they will give me back my money and I will have to redo the process again myself.
Throughout this entire process, all I'm getting is empty apologies. No recourse for their actions. Since they will not send me the phone I actually paid for, they will have to refund my money. They will not re-send me the Samsung 24+ phone, because even though they admit they sent me the "stolen phone," on my account it looks like I used a stolen phone; therefore now even once they clear it, they can't do anything. I don't want anything to do with a company that treats customers like criminals, when the company makes a mistake. Once I get my money, I'm going to Verizon or Team Mobile.

Neither AT&T or Asurion ever provided me with the terms and conditions of filing a claim or the cost of the deductible. My insurance cost was $17 a month, not huge, but when I filed a claim for my stolen phone my deductible was $275. Again no one informed me of that high of a deductible.
AT&T said, "Take up your high deductible issue with Asurion. They will be able to help you," Asurion said, "Take your issue up with AT&T. They will help you." Both companies passing the buck. Neither company can be trusted in my opinion and current experience. It took Asurion 46 days to get me a replacement phone. I will no longer do business with companies that can’t be trusted and that don’t disclose the terms and conditions of an insurance agreement. In my opinion neither should any smart cell phone user.

Terrible customer support. I just wanted to see our bills from more than 16 months ago but they refused. The representative said if I wanted to see them they would charge me $5 per month for each bill and then hung up on me. The service gets worse and worse and the bills go up and up. Our family is switching to Verizon.

At&t has the worst customer service! All they can say is "I'm Sorry" and "I do apologize for that" and "There's nothing I can do about that". They claim they want to help but then they put you on hold forever and then disconnect the call. It is VERY frustrating trying to talk to them.

I've been a loyal customer of this company since I got my first cellphone back in college, over 20 years ago. Unfortunately, my experience has gone downhill recently. The waiting time to get through to customer service is awful. On top of that, they changed the plan prices without notifying me, which was frustrating. The customer service is now handled overseas, making communication difficult and hard to understand. Even worse, everything seems calculated to ensure that if you try to switch plans to save money, you end up losing credits. After all these years, I’m seriously considering making a switch. Very disappointed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

How the CEO, John Stankey still has a job given the extremely poor service and lack of execution with very, very, simple tasks that most tech companies can process in their sleep without needing to call customer service is beyond me. Not to mention stock performance, it was 30 when Stank took over as CEO, it's 19 today - Atta boy, Mr. Stankey!

Service is out for days, customer service is very lacking, they up the price but yet the service becomes worse. They're going as far as even now charging you 5 dollars more if you won't give them access to your checking or credit cards for auto pay. Even though they can't keep your data safe "mine has been hacked twice from at&t". Been with them for over 20 years can't wait for t mobil or spectrum to come into my area. They canceled plans on millions just to force them to sign up on new plans. "I was one of those". Have even had a case where they took payment out. Said they didn't even with proof from my bank.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! I am writing this review to share my extremely negative experience with AT&T cell phone service in hopes of warning others before they make the same mistake I did. 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.

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." The activation charges aren't removable. I ended up just paying the bill, I couldn't deal with their stupidity another second.

I would give it a zero star if possible. I have been a long time user of AT&T's wireless & internet service for years and paid all bills on time, and they made me go through hell just trying to cancel my service. They do not enable online cancels so I have to call customer support, and they do not list support numbers explicitly. Finally one of the numbers called me back, wouldn't honor my original date of cancel, and forced extra charges on me. I will never use their service ever again.

I was lied and manipulated to change carriers by AT&T and was guaranteed my bill would not be more than what I was paying with Verizon. 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.

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’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.

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.

Barely got the replacement phone 2 days. I did not like that. I can understand after 7 days has pass or more for them to send me a reminder. I was very upset I had to pay $275 for my phone with the protect plan. Not a happy customer after being with the company over to decade and pay ridiculous prices. F-.

I have been a customer for over 20 years. They raise my data with out telling me. They also charged me extra for it without notice. Last year they suggested a different plan. Now they are slowing down my internet on that same plan and charge me $80.00. Several years ago it took me a year for them to approve a micro cell to increase signal at home. For a year I had problems with calls going directly to voicemail. Billing has been fine. No surprises. But if I pay $80.00 a month and only have this phone service, I expect to send emails. Search the internet without seeing a no internet signal displayed on my screen.
I sure did like the service that I was getting prior to 2020. Ever since the pandemic their service has declined. From cellphone service to customer service. I will be shopping for another service provider. Every other day between 4 and 6 pm my service either slows down or I get a no internet signal. Have some same AT&T. I have been a loyal customer for year, I will be switching next billing cycle. I would give a 0 stars if possible.

I wish there was something lower than a 1 star. AT&T has emerged as one of the most disappointing companies in the nation, with rising rates and poor service. They pressure customers to opt for paperless billing and automatic payments for minimal discounts, which feels like they are bullying you. 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.

We thought that AT&T would be a great switch, it was the worst decision ever! They first quoted a bill of $250 a month, then they quoted a bill of $306 a month and when we got the bill it was $548 a month. Big mistake!

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. Locking me into a contract, therefore if I cancel services with AT&T I will owe them for the new phone which is the same phones I had with Verizon.

Changing with time, customer service no more than a joke. My family bought a phone recently and change the phone for other member of the family too with esim. Somehow, that esim was misplace and requested for alternative esim for it. Unfortunately, my family members were busy so I have go and pick up. Nice guy with no brain decided to deactivate my phone and gave me my own esim though I told him multiple time the correct number which is not mine. I as gullible left the store and start shopping in mall.
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 found out in that duration of 2 hours my family members were worried that something happened to me and about call for emergency. Please AT&T phone service, keep your people competent to fixed the problem and help people who need help than rushing. Even I called customer service with same request. He showed the no one care attitude and asked me to do as I like. I still have problem when I am texting. Please guys make sure your phone work before you leave att store.

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.

I would give them zero stars if I could! I was with them for wireless service and was satisfied until without notice or explanation they raised the price of my service $14/month so I charged carriers and cancelled my service. Got an email a couple weeks later saying I owe $95.96 (the new cost of my service). I called them and was told it’s because they bill and I pay a month in advance. I told them that with that said they should credit me for 3 weeks service that I won’t use because I cancelled service and of course was told they don’t issue credits.
I let it go until I received the second email telling me my account is past due. I called them and was told I still owe because I canceled my account 5 days past the start of the billing cycle. I informed them that I will not pay for service that I don’t have and they said I owe it. Not going to give them another dime and I will not recommend them to anyone and wish I had listened to friends and family that warned me about them! I have an attorney looking into it.

AT&T Wireless service has been average for a big wireless company. However, my area of dissatisfaction with AT&T is because back in 2021 I got the newest Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G under the promotion of the 36 payments of $33.34 but I was going to pay only $11.34/month, although I was to suppose to turn in my Galaxy Note 8 which I did at their AT&T store. However, because I change plans after 4 months into this contract, they said I did not longer qualified for the promotion and I was to pay the full price for my new phone but they did not return my old Galaxy Note 8 or gave any credit. So in reality I'm paying the full price of $1199 for the S21 plus they kept my Note 8 valued at least $400. They said was I turned in there are no returns or credits.

Although AT&T is better than some others in the premium price range, still very overpriced & unreliable in some areas. All of these large brand companies have ill-intentioned tactics, extreme prices, and minimally valuable service. Still one of the best, but not worth it.

The worst experience I've ever had with a telecom company. Unethical, punitive and they lie to their customers. A monopoly after all. Getting rid of them and we will never deal with att again. I was warned by two people not to get a phone with them. I should have listened. Beware Att is dishonest, plays games and overcharges and won't fix the Overcharge! They also lie about unlocking their phones. ATT won't give you a copy of what you paid, say they don't have to. They waste many hours of your time. They are our rulers and we are their serfs.

Recently I got a good deal with AT&T via their website that it would be zero down for a iPhone 14+ (my credit ain't all that great). So I do all necessary steps online with an online chat agent, of course they took my money ($52.70) only have the order cancelled for reasons unknown. They won't give me nor tell not 1 reason why. I tried to call the order new service line, and the dbag hung up on me! I called back because I was beyond pissed off & finally got to talk to someone only for them to tell me that I would have to make a new order & spend ANOTHER $52.70. Of course I refused.
The next day something within me told me to go back online and check the site to see if my down payment has changed. And wouldn't you know for an iPhone 14+ went from 0 dollars to $252 dollars! Still waiting for my refund but ended up taking my business to Xfinity & paid the $52.70 for an iPhone 15+ with a better plan than what you grassbaga were offering me. Lesson learned though. Bad customer service, misleading online deals, and basically corporate thieves!!

Customer service is a joke! We swapped to AT&T with all these promises of, "It's easy and we have this deal and blah blah blah." 1st day my daughter's phone didnt work at all. Called them and basically got "don't know what to tell you". Was told no activation fees if we swapped our current phones instead of getting new ones. Sure enough it's on the bill. Called customer unservice and got "they didn't put it in the notes to waive it". So basically it was again "don't know what to tell you". No issues with service but hope you don't have to call them for anything. No help. No support. Nothing. They suck!

ATT told me I would get a discount because I work for IU Health and employees get a discount. It never showed up on my bill. I went to a store two separate times to get it straightened out and wasted over an hour each time while the employee was "fixing" it on the computer. I was supposed to get a refund. It never showed up and they raised my rate yet again. I have tried calling on the phone and the line magically gets disconnected after an extended wait and they never call me back, even though they obviously have my number since they are in my account. If I could give them a NEGATIVE 100 rating, I would. How is this company still in business?

AT&T gave false information about the account and PIN we needed to transfer service from AT&T to T-Mobile several times. This wasted a week, and multiple hours were spent EVERY time we tried to port the phone number over to the new phone with T-Mobile. T-Mobile was great! AT&T lied, stalled, required five people on a conference call (including my husband and me) to transfer the phone number to the new phone. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 5-10 MINUTE PROCESS!
Upon complaint to the AT&T Leadership Team, all I got was a phone call from the office of the president. During that phone call, Kevin advised that I can't expect everything to be accurate on AT&T's end when we're asking for information. Additionally, AT&T offered no financial payment for our hours spent on the issue due to AT&T's mistakes and false information because it wasn't our account, but a work account through my husband's company. Never mind that it still should have taken 5-10 minutes. The fact is, if you are transferring any number to your family plan carrier, you MUST be on the phone with these people. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH AT&T GAMES. My husband, his company's IT person (the AT&T account owner) and I wasted over $1,000 worth of work time BECAUSE OF AT&T. They won't take accountability and won't pay us back for lost productivity.

This company has the worst customer service and billing. My billing has been incorrect for nearly a year. I call constantly, they auto draft double and triple my correct bill amount out of my account and then tell me they can not give it back. I have well over $400 in credits on my account they would not refund. Then, you guessed it the next month the bill is wrong again and I am charged for devices I don't even have. They state they never have any previous notes on the account, They refuse to give you a name, badge number, extension or anything identifiable to reference for when you call back and they "have no record of what happened last time."
Today I have talked to 6 different people over 3 hours, been transferred 2 to dead numbers, hung up on twice and now I am on my 6th representative and still have no answers and am overbilled nearly $400 dollars again! ABSOLUTE RIP OFF CON ARTIST COMPANY! And when you fight it and don't want to pay they send you to collections and ruin your credit. I am contacting an attorney now to fight all of it!
