    I have been with ATT since the days of Cingular Wireless. On a good day the signal is one bar. I called customer no service and after running cell tower tests they confirmed I needed a cell booster. They were happy to send me one if I paid to resolve their problem. Being a veteran I received a small discount. After discounts my watch cost was 8.50. When ATT added taxes and their made up fees the cost went up to 13.50. The company is all about made up fees. Fast forward to my visit to T Mobile store in my local Costco. I was given 3 iPhone 16 pros no charge. In addition Netflix Apple TV plus and Hulu no charge. Between trade in money back and Costco cash cards along with new customer rebates we are talking about 2K IN REAL MONEY BACK.

    If there’s any possibility that you might run into hard times, do not sign up with AT&T. They will not help you and they do not care. Forget about extending a payment just 3 days. They will shut off your phones faster than you can blink.

    I have been using AT&T for about 20 years. Their prices and itemized fees have made their cost through the roof. I have 6 phone lines, I cancelled 2 and that cut my monthly bill down by only $40.00. That is not acceptable. I will be finding a new mobile provider starting right now. Who has money to throw away and we’re being price gouged. Thank you AT&T for ripping me off for so long.

    I had my email app problem solved by Michael at the Hamburg AT&T store. He did an outstanding job solving my problem that 3 other technicians could not do. He gets an A+ from me, I hope he gets promoted to store manager!!! The issue was with the Yahoo email app on my phone which after 8 years and 4 different phones stopped working.

    I recently gave in to pressure and upgraded my phone through AT&T during a trade-in promotion. Even though my trade-in was accepted and was supposedly in grade-A condition, I ended up paying over $300 up front in “taxes and fees.” To add further insult, even though I was assured that I would be getting a $28 credit each month for my trade-in, by overall bill rose over $40 per month! When I called customer service for an explanation, it was explained to me, using “AT&T math” that I had previously been on an old AT&T plan, but that when I fell for their “free upgrade” scam, I was automatically moved to a new plan. Yep…same crappy service, but a “new” plan. BUYER BEWARE!!!

    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T. Run like your hair is on fire. Tried an AT&T phone for a few weeks, service was worse than a cup and string. Returned the phone. They sent me refunds and then months later they set up recurring charges on my credit card for a closed account. When you call them you're put on 30+ minute holds and then get someone who is not fluent in English. I called my bank to stop the payments. Spoke to them. They said I had a zero balance but can't send an email or text to a non AT&T phone. They were supposed to be mailing a statement with a zero balance. Nope. I get an email a month later stating now the bill is late. Are you kidding? WORST MISTAKE I EVER MADE WAS TO GIVE AT&T A TRY. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE. HORRIBLE SERVICE. FRAUDULENT CHARGES.

    I have been a customer since before it was AT&T. Over 20 years. Each year they seem to chip away at my confidence. Pros: good coverage. Cons: Everything else. My elderly mother went into one of their locations to get a new phone and I told her to let me know what the increase in my bill was going to be. She told me the sales agent told her NOTHING. He switched my plan and we were to have the same service for less. My bill went up by over $100 a month even after I canceled all the extras he tacked onto the bill. He added the Next Up and insurance without asking me (she probably didn't know better but to sign for it). He sold her $234 worth of accessories! $234!!!! ACCESSORIES!

    The customer service agents I talk to via chat are not in the US. They are outsourced. So there is a communication barrier, and canceling this stuff has been time consuming. I can't cancel the $234. Here's what it covered: 1. Screen guard $33.75, 2. Type C USB cable $25.50, 3. Type C usb cable $18, 4. Adapter 30W $23.99, 5. Adapter 30W $23.99, 6. Phone case $52.50, 7. Car charging socket $18.74, 8. Phone case $37.50. Are you seeing what I'm seeing? She paid more than twice what this stuff would cost anywhere else. They ripped her off. Last time I bought screen guards, I got three highly rated ones for less than $10. USB cable was probably not high end. I buy the high end ones for less than that. They saw dollar signs and they took advantage of her.

    I called to check about switching my 4 lines over to ATT, I told the rep Taneesha that I have balances on a couple of my devices and she told me, "Since we want people to transfer we will pay the balance on your devices." I agree to switch then my phone gets locked and when I called att they tell me, "No we do not pay the balance." Now I'm here with no phone working and they aren't too keen on helping me either.

    AT&T used to be a reputable wireless company. Over the years they have become a predatory. They offered to give me a certain amount of money for a trade in. My bill then went from $80 to $100. They have no senior programs for anyone who doesn't live in Florida. This is ridiculous so is it only for ** people, the old retirement community in Florida? Now they tell me that I was locked in for 3 years on this one phone. I've never heard such nonsense. I'm paying off the phone and leaving. This is ridiculous.

    I changed my phone service provider from T-Mobile to AT&T, after a sales agent assured me of AT&T could lower my bill of 450 a month to less and receive new phones, however that did not happen. My first bill was 890.00, I was furious thinking I was getting a better deal. (NOT), I spoke to several agents, and one told me I could lower my bill by sending in my old phones, and that I had 45 days to do so because I ordered them during the holiday, I was told to go to their corporate store and they would be able to send the phones in, however after speaking with a salesperson at the store he said, "I needed to call the 611 number to get the extension for the 45 days."

    I called customer service only for them to tell me nothing had been submitted for me to trade in my phones within the 30 days allowed for trade-in, I explained to CS, no one explain to me, I had to do an exchange form. AT&T customer service "SUCKS", Door-to-door agent "SUCKS", their phone plan "SUCKS". A lot of misleading information, no one is on the same page as far as what their service offer. I feel they all need to go through training on honesty. Please read all reviews and learn from them, I wish I did, I would have stayed with T-Mobile. Don't waste your time.

Latest statement shows a refund for my phone, but nothing for wife phone. Called to clarify the issue, but had to deal with an idiot who could barely speak the English language and was unable to provide any assistance.

    On Tuesday of this week I went to my corporate AT&T store in Valdosta Georgia shopping for a phone. I was greeted by a manager who call himself Sean. I told him I was on a limited budget and he offered me a planner for $50.99. He also told me they had a ongoing special right now where I could trade in any Samsung Galaxy phone and get $1,000 credit to use towards a new phone. I asked him like 50 times if he was sure. He said yes. I asked, "Can you port my number? I have my number now for over 15 years and I would not do the deal if my number cannot be ported." He said, "I guarantee you the number will be ported over." I said, "Go ahead and let's do the deal." He did the deal and he was having a problem porting my number over. He said give it a couple of hours and the porting will come true.

    The next morning I called the porting department at AT&T. The porting manager said, "I will call the store and give them instructions how to Port your number." I had to drive 45 minutes back to the store and when I got to the store the manager Sean said what the porting department want him to do is illegal by making up a serial number and he will not participate in anything illegal. Basically I lost my phone number of 15 years because of a lie and the fact that he wanted to sell a phone. He also lied to me that the plan he recommend, he recommended me to take $50.99 was a part of the trade-in plan.

    I call AT&T support billing department and they said he lied to me. The $1,000 trading program is only for the $60 plan. Now I'm close to $70 nearly $20 more than I was hoping to pay for 3 years, I am retaining an attorney because I lost the phone that I traded in. They can't give it back to me, stay away from AT&T. They're a like used car salesman. They'll do anything to get a sale.

    Horrible experience. I went the store to get new phones. I agreed to a new monthly price. When I returned to bring back my old phones, the price was completely different. The person there was unable to help me. I was forced to spend an hour on the phone talking with a representative and then a manager to finally get a tiny bit of a fix. Then when I got my first bill, it was completely wrong. I was so frustrated; I filed a report with the Better Business Bureau and then got a actual phone call from an AT&T executive named Tiffany. Who proceeded to have an excuse for everything.

    Once they feel like they know you will not change because you don't want to go through the hassle. They feel like they own you and they stop listening and stop caring. It's all about making money. If I was you I would simply walk away any other company has got to treat its customers better than AT&T. They certainly have no loyalty for me and I have foolishly been with them since 2008.

    Scammers! We’ve upgraded 4 phones with the trade in offer over the past few years. Every time it has been a nightmare to get the credit for the trade in phone. It takes a year and multiple, hour long phone calls to get the credit to the account. The current one we are dealing with was resolved in September but we still haven’t received credit and it’s now February. A 2 hour phone call with overseas customer service and they say it will take another week to get approval. Manager named “Marcus” could not answer what the approval was for even though he admitted they received my trade in phone.

    ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! DON'T DO IT! GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!! GO WITH ANYONE ELSE!!! The quality of your actual service (connectivity, etc.) is great--but IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! This is the worst experience I've ever had with almost any company of any kind regarding anything in my entire life! THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU, WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING EACH MONTH, OR WHAT YOU THINK OF THEIR SERVICE!

    They absolutely seem to have a hard time staying consistent on what your contract says you should pay per month per line--and when you call Customer Service, no one is ever there to take your call initially--and you have to listen to an automated system, push several buttons, and then you have to wait for them to call you back anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes later, and after that, when you finally get through to someone human, you have to argue with someone who, often times, barely speaks English and sounds like they are based in India and initially acts like you're crazy.

    The last time I argued with them--about a month ago after asking for a supervisor, a rude representative put me on hold for about 20 minutes and then came back and said "Good News! You were right, sir!" and it turned out they were trying to charge me a past due amount that was equal to the amount that I owed that month--an amount that had already been paid, but that didn't stop them from inundating my phone with messages saying my service was about to be cut off--unless I made an immediate payment of $240.00.

    They CONSTANTLY have tried to add things to my charges--each time resulting in an almost once a month, 30+ minute phone call to them to get my bill itemized from some rude agent on their end who finally admits they were wrong... and then, EACH TIME, they try to sell you a "cheaper plan" which you "qualify" for. On TWO OCCASIONS I fell for that (the second time coming after they assured me that it would work this time)--as one of their goofy salespeople wasted over half an hour of my time---only to get a form letter 4 weeks later saying that I did "not qualify for that program."

    As for requesting a paper bill helping you to keep track of things, you can usually forget it; you can request it but they say they are not required to send it. So, they send you to their "website". Since I also have DirecTV, somehow their website is still tied into that--even though they claim not to own any of DirecTV anymore. So--whenever I try to sign in to AT&T online, it dumps me into the DirecTV website. So...I can't access ANY of my AT&T wireless account information online.

    When I told them about this in another phone call to customer service, they finally said it must be a glitch on my end, and that there was nothing they could do. So, basically, I am stuck in a contract for several more months where I get threatened--on a monthly basis--with disconnection (via text messages), whenever my bill is due...for amount(s) of money that are 2 or 3 times what my monthly bill should be. This company sucks--they thrive on people who don't keep strict track of their monthly expenses--almost like they are daring you to see if you're on top of things enough to catch them on almost a monthly basis in trying to overcharge you. Do yourself a favor and sign up with a company that's into providing phone service instead of making a game out of trying to screw people!

    We switched over from Verizon to AT&T 4 months ago. We were locked into paying $159 (after taxes and fees) and for the last 4 month, we have been over charged well over $1000. Part of the promotion that we took part of , was for 2 iPhones, and 2 Apple Watches (which was a bogo deal) well needless to say, that was not the case. Which month were charged anywhere from $250-$500, and the month of December we were charged TWICE with different amounts. The customer service is an absolute nightmare. Spending hours on the phone only to never have anything resolved. The customer service that employees are able to call in a use is terrible also. We were at the store with the store manager during one of our many calls, and the reps were nasty to the manager right in front of us. Absolutely mind blowing and does not set a good tone for this company. Wasted 4 months of time and money on this company. Should’ve never left Verizon.

    Terrible experience with trade-ins. I did 3 trade-ins over the phone with representative Pamela on 12/7/24, she explained my monthly fee for the trade in will be $0.00 - because I was going to receive trade-in credits plus I had $500 loyalty credit per line to cover any difference up to $13.88 per month. I verified several times during my call that my monthly payment was going to be $0.00 and that was confirmed by the Rep. When the credits were applied they only did the trade-in credit, and 1 of the lines they did the loyalty credit but not the trade-in. When I called they said that for that line the trade-in box was received but not the phone. At the end, they gave me the trade-in value for that phone but they refused to give any loyalty credits.

    I am very disappointed with my recent experience with AT&T. When I signed up for their business service, the employee I dealt with failed to be upfront about the real prices and hidden fees. Jordan ** at Central Florida. I was quoted one price, but when the bill arrived, it was much higher due to additional charges and he lied to me during the setup process. Also all the credits he promised were not real. He sent me a PDF with the quote and I asked how much additional fees there would be and he lied about the amount. Said my first bills would be higher than the quote, around $300, but when I got the first bill it was over $900.

    When I called him, he told me not to pay, that he would resolve it. But in 3 weeks my phone service was cut and I lost a whole day of business calls. When I contacted him that my phone service was cut, he said just to get a prepaid SIM card with a new number until it was resolved. Obviously, that is not a solution when you have a business running. He finally admitted that there was nothing he can do to help me.

    I feel misled, and the lack of transparency is unacceptable. As a customer, I expect honesty, especially when it comes to pricing. If AT&T wants to keep their customers, especially business customers, they need to ensure their employees provide accurate information and stop hiding fees in the fine print. I would not recommend AT&T based on this experience.

    I was a loyal and happy member of the AT&T family for almost 15+ years last year. I had a misfortune of the loss of my phones due to a fire and theft. I claimed an insurance reimbursement and was denied so for the past year I have been paying $140 a month for no use of the phone and the no use of the service I did have the two phones that was lost on the next program. I understand that I still had to pay those phones and I had no problem with that. I suspended my service And still was being charged $140 a month.

    I switched my carrier and continued making $140 a month payment to AT&T. I tried talking to them multiple times to solve the problem and all I did was get a runaround from store to store representative to representative. I finally got my account canceled and have a small balance that is due at the end of my billing cycle for the remainder balance of the phones that I purchased from them that is not a problem. It has been a nightmare during this whole process. I made a change in my banking and payment method and a bill that was due I had set up to be paid. What they did next was taking the payment away from my previous bank, which did not have the funds for the amount that was owed. Yes, I did make a change in the payment arrangement, but they still deducted it from my old bank account and now I was charged a overdraft fee when everything was set out to be deducted from my new account.

    Worst nightmare of service I ever received in my life. Like dominoes, one issue led to another, starting with screwing up the order placed a week before for "additional" service at our new business "second location". Had instead, disconnected service at original location (4 years with AT&T), transferring only internet and fax line, and sent a technician out whose behavior was rude and dismissive to my office staff, and fixed only one active phone line with the fax number. Between my office staff and myself, we spent an entire Friday being transferred over and over again to numerous departments and still couldn't get service restored back at the original location by end of business day.

    At the last hour, was told by a supervisor (which I demanded at this point), acknowledged they 'screwed up' but being a Friday, required a "NEW" order for service at the location mistakenly disconnected and no tech available until mid following week. Needless to say, I called Xfinity and had internet (with a tech out) the following day. AT&T customer service is a joke and not serious enough for BOTH my office locations, but for my home service as well.

    On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, 3:26:53 PM, we were given a written quote from AT&T representative Teala, for our business. We agreed on the quote and moved our services from T-Mobile who we had been with for many years. This contract would have our company paying $180.00/month and $430.00 after 24 months. Starting with the first month, June, our bills were $171.38, $688.28, $323.93, $312.13, $337.31, $337.31 (December). We made several calls to AT&T during this period and was told that adjustments would be made, and they would give us credit, none of which happened. Below is a summary, from the representative, of our most recent call AT&T Business Communications <AssistEdgeASKS@amcustomercare.att-mail.com>:

    "We discussed your mobility bill and how you were told it would be roughly around $180 for everything with a email quote to back that. We went over the correct pricing and everything included and came to the conclusion that the quote was false and I went over the lowest possible option for the bill would be $240 before taxes including everything after we corrected the plan on 4 lines and submitted a case to get the internet air discount all in one. To help with the current bill and the misinformation we applied a credit to the current balance of $337.31 down to $151.16 for this bill but it will be $240 + taxes going forward if you keep the service. We also applied an additional $700.00 in credits for credits promised back in July."

    The bill changes monthly, which we can’t get an explanation on. To be told months later that the original quote was “false” is unacceptable and misleading. AT&T needs to make this right.

    We switched to AT&T from Verizon. We worked with a representative named Marcus at the Main St. location in Meridian, ID. Marcus showed us the wireless plans, told us about available incentives. We signed up for the lowest cost unlimited plan, or at least we thought we did. Marcus told us we would each receive a $100 gift card after a few months.

    We were surprised when we received our first bill and it was much higher than what we were told it would be. We finally figured out that there was some sort of initial charge we had not been informed of and he had signed us up for a higher level plan than we had chosen. We thought, okay it was just a careless accident on his part and we straightened it out ourselves on line. About 4 months later we had not received the gift cards. I called Marcus and asked him where they were, he told me he would call around and see why they were held up, he never denied saying we would receive them.

    A month or so later we had still not received the gift cards. I started calling AT&T customer service and of course I was shuffled from person to person each one telling me the next person was the one I needed to talk to. Eventually one of them told me there was no incentive that I qualified for but the local store could give us $200 worth of credit on our monthly bills, that seemed fair to us. I finally spoke with the regional representative who told me he would call Marcus and remind him it was important to be sure to carry through on what he had promised his customers. That was about a month ago and we have nothing and have received no credit. We were upgraded without our knowledge at our expense, we were outright lied to about the gift cards and I was given a massive runaround by customer service. I'm not happy about the situation but I don't have any more time to spend on it.

    On October 02, 2024 I visited the AT&T store located at 1706 W. Tennessee St. Tallahassee FL. I was looking to trade in my Z-Flip-4 phone for an iPhone, the sales rep stated that there is an $830 trade for my phone to an iPhone, with that in mind I agreed to the upgrade. The paperwork started. I walked out with an iPhone 16 Pro, case, and screen protector. I was told I needed to turn in my Z-Flip phone within 30 days (which gave me time to move files, etc. from my old phone to the new one). October 16, I returned to the store to turn in my old phone. It was then I was told the $830 promotion was no longer available in the computer, however; the sales rep made a phone call to Firstnet/AT&T. I was present during the call as the call was on speaker. The outcome was that they would honor the $830 credit spread over the 3 years ($23.06 per month) and it would take several billing cycles for everything to work out. I walked out feeling satisfied.

    On January 7, 2025 I went back to the AT&T store as no part of the $830 credit was not applied. Another phone call from the sales rep to Firstnet/AT&T, this time I was told there was no documentation of the $830 promotion, although the sales rep did remember the all conversations but stated he could do nothing more on his end and the issue was closed on the AT&T side. I would like to point out, at the time I took possession of the new phone $830 promotion was in effect. I feel that this is deceptive and poor business tactics. After researching this in the internet it seems this same thing has happened to others when dealing with AT&T. **

    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 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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”.

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!!!!

    In a small town in Texas AT&T was great. I talked my daughter into switching but she is in Albuquerque, NM. There is NO 5G service here, anywhere. I don't understand how a city as large as Albuquerque doesn't have 5G from AT&T, but T Mobile and Metro PCS does.

When I look at my area coverage map it shows I have 5g and I struggle to even make a call so we were deciding to even stay. Come to find out they won’t even take our trades in anymore and we are with firstnet. What a way to help you law enforcement. At&t is a joke.

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    Since switching back to ATT from Boost, absolutely the worst mistake I could have done. Customer service support is horrible, they do not understand what you are saying to them, they hang up on you and say the issue is solved when it's not and you don't find out until the next bill that they did nothing to help you.

    They are hiring oversea staff, who can barely do anything to help and would repeat themselves 5-10times after every conversation. My account was put on vacation hold for no reason and apparently no one can figure out why and this took them an hour, this is not the first time this happen to my account. Random services were added onto my account without my knowledge and it take them forever to figure it out and the refund process is still ongoing. This time the exact same problems. So, after an hour of not knowing what going on the customer services lady, finally give up and transfer my call to a tech, it said that there is an estimated 15min wait. It is 2.5hrs later, I am still on hold.

    I have a felling, it will be just like my last call, they will automatically hang up my phone within the next 15 or 20min. It will just be another day wasting 3hrs on hold for zero help. My internet issue had been an issue since September 8th and it's October 2nd and nothing had been resolved. No internet, but my account will still be charged. Stay away from ATT.

    On 9/18- I tried to upgrade my Google Pixel 6 pro to a Samsung Galaxy 24+ online. I had problems, so I had to contact AT&T via chat. They called me and did the entire transaction including payment. 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. Just wanted to let the public know. Great customer support AT&T, you really show much you value our time and business.

    AT&T used to be a company that I felt I could trust. That is no longer the case. I was forced by a salesman to buy phone insurance for my new phone, I’ve never bought insurance for any phone because I have never lost my phone or had any need for insurance. My phone was stolen 1st time ever and since I had insurance I filed a claim with Asurion. Huge mistake. 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. In my opinion it’s time to tell such companies that we can go and find companies that will take better care of their customers. If I could give both companies a -1 on customer care and reviews I would in a heartbeat.

I asked for corporate's number to file a complaint and the employee kept me on hold for 30 minutes then hung up on me and didn't call me back. They took $222 and said they refunded it and the issue is with my bank, call my bank. I said, "No my issue is with you guys taking money when you were suppose to." So the employee gave me a number to give my bank and they should be able to find out where my money is. Remind you it took 2 hours for me to get this number.

What makes matters worse is AT&T's service is unreliable and spotty at best. The customer service doesn’t come close to that of Verizon! And because the phones were not returned back to Verizon, I was charged over $2100. So in reality I'm not really saving anything. I’m thoroughly disgusted.

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.

She did not go over any policies, protection plan options which she just added without asking me.

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.

Which led to my bank account being drained but AT&T holds no blame. But when I called and told them of issues I was experiencing they notified me of the breach. Which sadly I was unaware of!!

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

    I have AT&T internet. So this door to door AT&T sales rep came up to me and offered me a deal for the cell phone, saying I can get 3 free iPhone 14 and an upgraded Samsung phone for my brother in law. All for just my under $120 for the 4 lines. He also said after 18 month we can get new phones replacement. Sounds great, yeah!!! Plus my son’s iWatch service for another 10-15. Great! I signed up and I paid up front for the taxes for the four phones over $330. He also said he can mail the Samsung phone to Florida to my brother in law.

    The guy was nice saying once I get the phone, "Just text me or call me and I’ll get you set up." The phone arrived a few days later, but the Samsung phone was with the package. They told me to ship the Samsung myself. So I texted the guy, he blocked my number. I called, left message and no call back. After a week I called customer service about the activation, she told me to go to the store to get the activation. I also looked at the contract, he added 10.99 for each phone as a lease for 36 months, he didn’t tell me that as part of his sales pitch. So I asked to return the phones, they emailed me an RMA with UPS label.

    I returned it and the rep told me it will be at least a week or two get the refund. Three weeks later still no refund of $330 and they are now charging me another $145+ for service I have never activated. They even charged separately on my son’s iWatch for $45+, even though service was never activated. Don’t ever go for AT&T cell phone service. They are horrible and now I have call customer service and talk to an operator not living in America.

    Complaint: After seeing almost every other company offering plans for what I consider the same level of service for substantially less per month, I reached out to AT&T to see if there was any way to lower my bill. I figured that with over 20 years of being a loyal customer they would be able to do something, however to my surprise they weren't willing to do anything so I cancelled my service and transferred to Verizon for over 100 dollars less per month. Upon transferring my service I made sure to pay my balance to $0 while I was in store to ensure I was paying whatever the current balances due were paid. Now, I get a call 2 months later saying I still owe almost $300, which is impossible because you can't cancel service AND I also transferred my 2 phone numbers to the new carrier.

    After speaking with a support manager Alex he kept telling me it was for a past due balance and didn't care to look at the facts (it's not possible to transfer a line or service altogether especially to a competitor if there is a balance due). Alex tried to say that the final payment was reversed to which I told him no it wasn't and would provide my bank statement as proof...then he said "I'm sorry sir that must be a lie." He didn't request for me to send it to AT&T to clear up the discrepancy, no, after 20 years with the company I'm now a liar because I won't let them extort me for another $300 dollars. If I hadn't transferred to a new provider I bet that bill wouldn't have mysteriously appeared.

    I'll also be filing a complaint with the attorney general as well as posting this exact review on every social media channel I can because this is a horrible company that everyone should stay away from! After being a customer of AT&T for over 20 years there is nothing good to say regarding this company. AT&T could care less about their customers and have made that blatantly clear to me.

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

    My wife and I shared a grandfathered data plan with my mom until she died. My mom didn’t write down her AT&T password or passcode, so whether my wife and I were going to stay with AT&T or switch, the only way to do it was to go the local AT&T store to transfer our lines to an account in my name. When I went there, they told me we weren’t allowed to keep the grandfathered data plan and would have to switch to unlimited. My wife and I use very little data, so I knew at that moment we’d probably have to switch carriers to get a fair price for the service we need. I set up autopay and paperless billing with AT&T before I left the store that day. 3 days later I ported our numbers to another carrier, and 2 days after that I received our final AT&T bill. I didn’t know until I received this bill that AT&T doesn’t prorate final bills.

    In addition to charging us an entire month for only 3 days of service, they also took away the $10 per line discount we should have received for setting up autopay and paperless because I canceled our service before the bill was generated. I tried multiple times on the phone and in online chat to make my case to customer service that we were unfairly overcharged. Even if I had conceded I was at fault for not knowing they don’t prorate, they at least should have reinstated the autopay discount when I explained our situation and the reason we canceled our service. Every representative I spoke to gave the same answer: there was nothing they could do unless I reactivated our service. Doing so would have made no sense because my wife and I aren’t big data users. I will absolutely never be an AT&T customer again. They showed no mercy to a grieving family and made us pay $160.32 on our way out the door for only 3 days of service on 2 lines.

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

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

    Next. Do not do business with AT&T. They don’t do what they promised and expect the customer to invest their time and energy fixing their mistakes. I recently moved to Tenn and decided to switch to At&t from Verizon. While at the Target in Herdersonvilleshopping, an at&t rep, Parker (I think) solicited my business. Since switching to att was already on my todo list, I agreed. The only caveat was keeping my current number. No problem. Unfortunately the phone arrived improperly set up, specifically, programmed with an unknown number.

    When I called customer service, they said there was nothing they could do and the phone needed returned to the point of purchase. So, I drove 30 minutes one way to the Hendersonville Target return the phone. Target said there was nothing they could do and refused to make the return. When I explained to att cs what happened, they instructed me to return the phone to an att store. The staff at the att refused to help and said there was nothing they could do, they-refused to help. Frustrated, I took a of the store rep with my phone and left the phone at the store and said goodbye.

    4 days later, a different att csr explained that I needed to retrieve the phone from the att located at 923 Nashville Pike, Suite D in Gallatin, TN. I agreed to do so only if the csr remained the phone during the process. Csr was exacerbated when store manager refused help. Eventually the phone csr asked to speak with the manager personally. So after another 40 minutes, someone, not the manager, agreed to help. I guess this is the good part, the att store rep in fact was able to assist in returning the but had simply refused. I honestly still don’t know the status of the account.

AT&T would not provide me with service unless I provided them with my personal data, including my social security number. Doesn't that impose an obligation on the part of AT&T not to hand it over to crooks? Apparently not. Thanks to the recklessness of AT&T my personal data including my social security number, as well as the personal data of millions of hard-working Americans, has been compromised. And, how much does AT&T care about their recklessness? Not much, as their response was to raise CEO John Stankey's salary to $24,500,000 a year AND raise our wireless rates by 20% to pay for it.

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

    I have been a customer of AT&T since they took over Sprint, so over the decade. I've had my share of issues over the years but none like the one that occurred in June that caused me to finally switch to T-Mobile and never look back. It all started with what seemed like a simple iPhone upgrade and turned into a week-long nightmare. We used the eSIM card transfer upon receipt of the new phone and everything went haywire - I was receiving my husband's text message and the extra line on our phone that belonged to another family member was suddenly the new primary account holder. Going into the AT&T store was not helpful - they ended up having to call support on the phone and our identiy couldn't be verified.

    We tried 2 more times with the fraud department and it became clear that they were asking questions about the family member rather than me, the primary account holder. Each time, the fraud department simply hangs up on you -- no second chances. So, I understand fraud and all, but if an company has a customer that has never been late on a bill for over a decade, I'd think that company might have another mechanism to verify their identity. As a start, have me go into a store and show my ID. Because we couldn't verify my identity, it was a non-starter. I almost felt like AT&T preferred I leave because I was receiving a sizeable corporate discount on my account....

    On top of all that, when I returned the iPhone within the allotted return window, they still billed me the full amount of the phone. The tracking clearly said it was delivered and the first rep I spoke with put the responsibility back on me stating they use a 3rd party carrier so I would need to figure it out with them. The second rep who was more knowledgeable understood it was AT&T's responsibility after delivery was confirmed. I finally received a refund on my account. That was the cherry on top of all these issues and added more gray hairs to my hair. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to do business with AT&T again. Ridiculous issue that could have been easily resolved but instead, they have lost a longtime customer that LOVES to write reviews so look out for me on all your review sites.

    AT&T is 100% authentic CRAP! My mother is a 40 year retiree and has had mobile service with them for over 2 decades. Her current iPhone 12 has a busted speaker and doesn't ring. She owes $340 on this device. We called AT&T and spoke with numerous people in billing and customer loyalty who REFUSED to provide her with a new phone or any other option for getting a new phone without paying off the balance of her current malfunctioning phone. We even asked if the existing phone balance could be rolled into the new phone billing. Nothing doing! I informed everyone that we spoke with that T-MOBILE & VERIZON have both agree to match her current bill plan, allow her to keep her existing number, provide her with a new phone AND pay off the old one with AT&T--and still they didn't budge!

    There's an old adage that says "a fool and his money are soon departed." AT&T get with it--there is too much competition out here for you to allow your longstanding customers to leave over an issue that could have been easily remedied with finding a happy-medium to provide my mother with a new phone that actually rings. Instead you spotlighted what happens all to often in today's society--that customer satisfaction is of no concern to you. Your actions today proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you are an AT&T customer for any service, I implore you to spend your money elsewhere! If they'll do it to us, you're probably next. :( Sincerely, A very pissed Mother & Daughter.

When you call them back they simply dismiss your complaint as “I’m sorry the agent told you that but we can’t offer you that deal”. After dealing with the same deceit with U-verse for years and only getting what was promised after filing a complaint with the FCC, I finally dropped their service.

    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.
