In March 2022, I was offered a new phone by AT&T wireless in exchange for my old off-contract phone (btw $600 and $800). I reported the true condition of the phone online and was told I would receive full credit. I received the new phone and sent in the old phone. I was told that I would get only $5 for the phone because they reported a condition that was not true of the phone when it was sent. ALL functions of the phone worked when it was sent in. I was told I could not have my old phone returned but would have to take the $5 (this feels like theft, I did NOT agree and WOULD NOT have agreed to trade in my old phone for $5. It worked very well), I was told I would also need to pay full price for the new phone.
I sought resolution 2 times and was denied any resolution. So, I was told I would get a phone for $6-8 a month. I am being forced to pay $26. I was told I would be paid $600-$800 for a phone that I traded in and was told that I had no option but to accept the $5 they offered me because I could not have my phone back. The phone was in working condition and valued at much higher than $5.

Before signing up for the service you should really try out their customer support. It's nonexistent. Over 100 hours over two weeks trying to fix account problems and triple charges on 7 prepaid lines from a supposed computer glitch with complete loss of each account and payment made me switch companies in the end. They haven't offered any returns of charges so far either. The corporate store was zero help. I would be more understanding if the customer support were better. What a terrible experience. Even prepaid accounts aren't safe from extra charges and fees. As we suffered weeks with no service even after paying triple upfront on each of the 7 lines. Hundreds lost and time lost. If you value your money and time look elsewhere for cellular service.

If I could give AT & T one star I would! Too many issues with billing. They will send you down a rabbit hole when you try to straighten out any issues. I have switched to Metro. No muss no fuss. You pay your bill in advance once a month, real simple.

My phone was stolen in January but was returned many hours later the same day. My husband ordered a new phone thinking that my phone was gone forever. When I came home from work, he saw that I had my phone so we returned the new cell phone when we received it a couple days later back to AT&T. A couple weeks later my phone shut off in the middle of the workday. I could not even call at&t because it was blacklisted from service. The person on the phone assured me that they would turn it right back on they just wanted to make sure that I did in fact have my original cell phone back in hand. A couple days later my phone shut off again, again in the middle of a workday. I called AT&T back and this went on several times where they would fix it and my phone would shut back off again. At one point it shut off while I was using my GPS to get somewhere.
Each time the associate told me they were making sure that it was fixed for good. Seemingly that’s what happened back on January 24. Fast forward to me second, my phone shut off in the middle of the day while I am at work. AT&T said that they have to put a ticket in to their back office and they do not have a phone number for the back office. They just have to open a ticket. They told me it would take 24 to 48 hours. We are now at the 48 hour mark and still no one knows anything about my phone. I just spent 35 minutes on the phone with them having to repeat myself for the 800th time as to what is going on. She gave me the phone number for Assyrian which is the insurance company who continues to blacklist my phone. No one cares about the customer. Why am I doing all the foot work for the cell phone. They’re such a huge company they don’t care whether they lose a customer. It’s the worst customer service and terrible business practice that I have experienced. I will be leaving AT&T.

I have moved to AT&T wireless from T-Mobile expecting better coverage. But my early experience with the service was network coverage which was even worst than T-mobile. Then the next comes, I started receiving more than 100 junk calls a day. When I moved, I traded my old phone (iPhone 11Pro Max) which if I had traded that in the Apple store for the new one, they were about to give me $500 back on new phone.
However, I traded in the Apple for new phone, now since I wanted to move back to T-mobile again, the At&t made me to pay the phone's full balance because I am not staying with them for 36 months. Since I am paying full, I asked them where my old phone trade-in value went. They answered me this is what it is, I won't be getting that phone's value. So this is literally looting the customer in the name of trade-in. Do not trade your old phone in for whatever reason, rather trade it in the Apple store. I have traded my old phones with T-mobile previously when I was with them, they always honored me how Apple store honored with outright discount on the new phone. I am never going to come back to AT&T, never in my life.

In November 2021, I subscribed to AT&T broadband service. While the rep was at my home assisting me with the setup he sold me on a deal for wireless phone service and a new iPhone 13. My previous phone provider was T-Mobile, and I'm sorry I left them. The whole experience with AT&T has been miserable from the start. First of all, they screwed up the account parameters at the start, adding features and services I did not request. I was very specific at the outset about my requirements and monthly payment limits, and the rep assured me all was good.
For the first three months of service I had to keep calling customer service to have them correct my bill because I was placed onto their highest tier plan and billed for additional services I didn't request (phone insurance, "upgrade insurance"). Each time I was assured that the issue was resolved, and the following month the charges again appeared on my bill. After the third round of calls to customer service, those issues were finally resolved.
Another problem I had was that the rep who sold me the phone and service lied to me. One of the perks promised was a voucher for a new case for my new phone. He stated this would be sent to me via text. It never arrived. I called him twice and was promised it would be sent. It never arrived, and then he stopped responding to me. But the biggest issue is with the wireless service itself. It is AWFUL. I've had service in the past with Virgin Mobile, Boost, and T-Mobile, and every one of them was far better.
My connections are constantly throttled, streaming quality is awful, websites load very slowly or not at all, apps are laggy and unresponsive, text messages transmit very slowly or not at all, and calls sometimes drop. The coverage is not as good as they claim it is, and their supposed "5G" is no better. I live in Raleigh, NC, not far from downtown, so I'm not in a rural area. Their usual solution for problems is to reset your phone or network. The problems are never on their end.

I have been a long time customer for many years. Was lied to about a $602.83 credit. Was then charged the same amount. Called multiple times to dispute. I have been on hold with this company for hours. Was promised multiple solutions just to have my service shut off and back on 3 times in a week. The “back office” no one can put me in touch with. Overall horrible overseas customer service. I will be canceling my plan and taking my loyalty to another company. Buyer beware.

A nearby construction company cut a nearby Internet line by accident. We contacted AT&T immediately. Tomorrow will be the 5th day, and it’s still not fixed. Also, they will not tell me when it will be fixed. If you ever need AT&T to repair an Internet cable, good luck getting them to come out and fix it in a timely manner. I’ve called AT&T multiple times, and spent most of my weekend on the phone with them. It’s all been a huge waste of time. They do not care.

I switched from Sprint/T-Mobile when Sprint was being changed to T-Mobile. I checked with AT&T Wireless and was told that I would get a work discount if I switched. Well come to find out after being told at the store when switching, and over the phone after the discount was not on my bill so I called a few months in to see what was going on and was assured that I would get the discount on the next few billing cycles. Called today and now they are saying I did not sign up for the correct account to receive the discount and offered me a one-time 21% off, this is a trap do not fall for it-checking other companies- just don't like to be lied to.

After 20 years I am glad to switch to a different provider. Paid $160 for 4 lines and a watch. Called to remove 1 line, confirmed the new payment will be $135, just to learn that I was transferred to the new plan and new plan is $190 for the same service. Now I am paying more for less service?! IN the transition they also "lost" the phone payment discount?! Numerous calls, one unprofessional rep after another. With all the @@@ service, there is no mystery why so many switch the provider!

I had service for several years. I called AT&T to get technical support and they advised me that there was a problem with my zip code for my service address even though they had the correct address for my billing address. They advised me they had to open a move order to get that fixed before a tech could fix my issue with service. Ok well they do that and shut off my service, closed my account, and told me service was not available at the location that's had service for nearly 5 years. Horrible service!

Re: Constant internet connection issues, etc. An AT&T representative, Taylor ** ph.** came in to my business on 3/4/22. She told me that the problem was my modem was outdated. She promised to send a tech with a new one in a few days. She also took pictures of a dangling AT&T cable hanging outside that is a danger to everyone especially children. I called her a week later since she hadn't called with the promised appointment date. She verified that she had turned in the work orders and would get right back to me with an appointment.
I have called repeatedly since March 10 and she has blocked my phone calls but I leave a message begging her to follow through with her promises. As a foot note...if my modem is "outdated" why didn't AT&T bring or send me a new one. I have told them for years of my loss of internet service. I can't change to Comcast or another company because my town isn't served by any other reliable service such as Comcast.

I've been an AT&T customer for over 20 years and have grown to absolutely HATE them over the past 3 or 4 years. They used to be the best company as far as coverage and they were at least somewhat efficient as far as billing. I would get a text reminding me that my bill was due and it would give me the amount as well. I could then text my reply to pay my bill and be done with it. Now, I have to remember when my bill is due, then go to the website to get the amount, and then make arraignments to pay it - just CRAZY if you had any experience with how things were before.
Their self-admitted solution is to go on "auto-pay" in which you give them direct access to your bank account so they can go in and remove money any time they feel you owe them - that's something I will NEVER do. Just try to get money back from a corporation the size of AT&T when they already have it before you've ever seen it. I'm finally done and I'm going to use whatever phone service I can find that is run by human beings. It's WAY past time for a little anti-trust action again to break up this monopoly.

On February 25th 2022 I went to AT&T store and did a trade in with my Samsung S10e for Samsung S22 and also took AT&T $75 package with number **. Within 7 days I took back the S22 and asked to deactivate the plan package that I took because the service was very poor on my job site and my home.

They also charge my credit card $71.00 plus $134.90 Within the seven days time. Since then I have been calling AT&T customer service for help and no one seems to care in helping me.

I purchased a Google Pixel phone/ contract with ATT. Two months into the contract you could not hear on the phone. After 6 attempts to resolve the problem the representatives were rude and could not do anything to fix the phone. They passed off the issue and said that we would have to contact Google. When contacting Google they said we would have to send them the phone so they could diagnose the issue and decide if they were going to fix or replace the phone. During this time I would be without a phone. I still have to pay att the payment for the phone.. I still pay att for an additional warranty and I pay att for the contract, while they attempt to make a decision. I purchased straight from att but yet I have to go thru someone else for a problem. Remember, I have had the phone less than 60 days.

I received an email saying that I had signed up for paperless billing with AT&T. So like I have done many other times I tried to login to my AT&T account and again could not. So I started the chat and to make this review not as lengthy as it should be I ended up speaking with three people in chat and one person on the phone, none of which could help me. So I took myself down to the AT&T store where I spent an hour and a half to find out that I had two accounts, one’s closed, the closed one has my correct sign-on information, my current account they could not get my email address in so that I could sign on because it was in the original account which they can’t take it out of even though it’s closed and they can’t delete the account.
So after about two hours on the phone and an hour and a half at the store, I still can’t log into my account. I have no idea who signed me up for paperless billing because they said that I had to have done it not them, but I can’t do it if I can’t sign into my account. So all in all almost 4 hours of AT&T and they can’t fix my account so that I can login to the online site. So there is nothing more than can do. What????

ATT has been the worst wireless company I had service with. They make up charges I do not understand ever since I joined them back in March 2021. I have been calling every month to have those charges removed. Each time it is the same song "we will make sure it never happens again" but it always does. If feels like their representative do not know how to do their jobs and it is outrageous. And mind you, managers avoid getting on the line to speak to customers because they know they have wronged you. They disconnect you without prior notice. They do not return calls they promise either. AVOID THEM AT ALL COST IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH UNNECESSARY MIGRAINES!!!!

I had a DirecTV appointment and within 10 minutes into the appointment an AT&T Wireless field salesman showed up to sell me wireless and offered some discounts in order to sign me up which I did. I was supposed to receive $500 gift card to pay off my previous provider. I had good rapport with Nick until he couldn't deliver what he said and then he ghosted me. Chatted with supervisor (Hubert) and was told they could not honor this deal and then closed the chat even though I had more questions. The customer service representative Marlon couldn't help me and transferred me to his supervisor Hubert. So far disappointed at company representatives. I am in Fort Mohave Arizona. The silver lining is that my wireless service is better. If Nick comes to your door to sell at&t service I would make sure that what he's offering is real. Beware Bullhead City and surrounding areas.

I've been a customer with At&t for 20 years! Always paid my bill on time and never received a cut off notice, they even call me a honored customer giving me discounts on the wifi service. But when my at&t email account, email that I use for my username for all me devices became invalid from other websites saying that it was. I found out that it wasn't a real email but was given to me as a user name and a email, in which I didn't know because I didn't normally use the at&t online account to pay my bills I used the app on my phone.
When At&t found out that my At&t user name and email was the same they turn off my At&t email and blocked my username so I couldn't use my email that's connected to all my devices! When I called they gave me the run around passing the buck trying to give me temporary password and username that wouldn't work. And still to this day it still doesn't work. They finally give me a made up a At&t username starts with my full name but ends with the word dum as my username. My grandkids and my feeling was so hurt they cried when seeing such disrespectful email and username created by a supposed to be a professional company that I bragged to my grandkids about how long this company has been around, to see how they really feel about a honored customer that always pays their bill on time really gave a mixed message to a would have been future customer.

One for trade-in device and another one for exchange device. I shipped both the phone X and 13 pro max on Oct 30th from USPS junction blvd in Queens, New York. AT&T claims they just received trade-in device which was X. And they charged me 1144.42 for iPhone 13 pro Max saying it was never received. I had to call them 20 times or more for them to resolve partially. I had to pay for 1/2 price for a phone that I returned back to AT&T in October 2021.

I switched from sprint to AT&T in 2012 been with them ever since. I added home internet service in 2020 which I’m also very satisfied with. Both my wireless and internet service are fast, reliable, affordable, account management everything from bill pay, upgrading, changing plans, are simple and convenient. Customer service is excellent, sales, technical support... I honestly never once had a bad experience with a customer service rep. They’re 100% helpful, friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, go above and beyond to give me whatever I need. That says a lot Coming from someone who’s called customer service A LOT for all types of situations over the years, several being out of the ordinary and difficult to figure out. This is also coming from someone who’s Had wireless and internet with many other companies. I doubt I will ever switch to another company. And I highly recommend AT&T to anyone who needs fast reliable affordable service.

Can you imagine a billion-dollar company stealing from the average American? You may think that’s absurd, but it is actually truth! Take my case for example. We’ve been ATT customers since 2012. And not because their service is great, but for the simple reason that they were the only ones who had better coverage in our area. For the most part their service was good, with the occasional hiccups. I hated calling their customer service line, not so much because of their agents, but because it takes at least an hour before you can actually speak to a human. And then you get transferred from one agent to another and you have to re-tell your issue over and over again. It drains you!
When we moved to CA, I decided to avail of the “move with ATT” service. It was great! Not having to redo your passwords, etc. everything worked as it was from the previous state we lived in. Because of a discount, I enrolled in their auto-pay. After a year in CA, we moved to FL. This time, I did not avail of the “move with ATT” because I wasn’t sure which provider had better services in FL. Our account in CA, which was under my husband’s name was cancelled/terminated in July of 2020. When we arrived in FL in Aug of 2020, based on the reviews, it seemed like Xfinity had the upper hand in our area, but I decided to go with ATT again because they were familiar to me, and I once again availed of their auto-pay incentive.
In November of 2020, a glitch or something must have happened to ATT systems, and unbeknownst to us, our account in CA that was terminated got reactivated. ATT started charging us $79.99/month for the CA account that was cancelled. We had no idea that our old account got reactivated and started charging $79.99/month because when I checked my ATT accounts online, it only showed the active accounts we have, which are now under my name. The $79.99 charge was nowhere to be found. ATT kept charging us $79.99 up until August of 2021, almost a year after, when I noticed on my bank statement that our ATT charge went up to $121. I then checked my ATT online account to see what the charge increase was all about, only to find that there was no charge of $121 on my account.
I called ATT multiple times (within a few months) as we tried to resolve where the charges were coming from, and the solution that most of the agents gave me was to call my bank and ask them what the charge was. My bank statement clearly says that it is an ATT charge, and I filed for fraud charges with the bank. The bank issued a new card to stop the fraud charges, but not until after three $121 charges on my old credit card. I then checked my bank statement for all ATT charges and that’s when I noticed that ATT had been charging me $79.99 a month since November of 2020, 9 charges for $79.99 and three charges of $121. I tried to settle it with my bank but I was told that these were legitimate charges since I provided my card number to ATT.
It took more calls to ATT to try and figure out where the charges were coming from until one agent from India asked if I had a previous ATT account. I informed her that we had one in CA, but she was not able to locate that account. And that’s when I remembered that our CA account was under my husband’s name. She did a search and she found the reactivated account under my husband’s name. So, she cancelled it and gave me credit of one $79.99 and one $121.
About this time, with the multiple calls to my bank and ATT and the very long wait just to be able to speak to a human, you can probably imagine my frustration! Sure, the total charges are only a little over $1000 and may be pocket change for a billion dollar company, but that is my hard-earned money!! I was told that she could not credit back all the charges because it had been more than 90 days that the charges were incurred. She did say however that she would escalate it to her superiors so they can check if they can credit back all the money that ATT stole from us! It’s been two months and I still haven’t heard from them.
I have called ATT a few times after that, but it’s just frustrating that I have to retell my issue again and again, and going back to the fact that they can’t find the $79.99 charges on my account. I was told that the Indian agent who discovered my account and terminated it had a note on there of the charges, but she did not note the account number of the terminated CA account, so now there is no way to track that account because I was told they could not search terminated accounts by name. What a bunch of bull crap! Obvious to say, we switched to Xfinity.
Honestly, I have given up hope that ATT will return our money back. How many other ATT customers were affected during that “system glitch” which reactivated terminated accounts? Also, think of other billion- or million-dollar companies that do auto-charge, such as Amazon. Think of the older people who now have dementia and can no longer track the auto-charges on their accounts. Think of the folks who died but their credit cards are still being auto-charged. And that is the harsh reality of how billion-dollar companies steal from you and me!

Here a review update. I posted my initial review on AT&T's Facebook page. AT&T Social Media Manager Rasheedat H. contacted me and expressed a willingness to review my complaint. After doing so he was able to resolve my issue. This is the type of service and professionalism that customers past and present appreciate. If only his colleague Amy from the Loyalty Department had shown a willingness to help instead of being condescending, all this could have been avoided.
Original Review: Jan. 13, 2022
I have been an AT&T customer for over two decades. As such, I have witnessed the consistent increase costs for their cellular service contracts. So much so that I decided to switch to a lower cost service provider. My AT&T account consisted of 3 phones and 3 smart watches. My billing cycle with AT&T ended on the 4th of each month. So, on January 4th I had my cell phone numbers ported to a new carrier, effectively closing my account with AT&T, or so I thought.
Today, I received a bill from AT&T for a the next billing cycle ending on February 4th. I called AT&T twice. The first time, I explained my desire to dispute the bill and was placed on hold for over 45 minutes until the call disconnected. My second call went through and I was able to explain that I closed this account effective January 4th. I was informed that the account was not closed because there were 3 lines still assigned to the account. Upon review of those lines I realized that they were the numbers assigned to the smart watches. Therefore, the account was still open and a new billing cycle was charged.
I disputed this assertion by informing that my 3 cell phones and 3 smart watches were all activated at the same time and the smart watches were assigned new numbers. I also requested that they verify that "NO" data had been used by any of my devices since January 4th. The representative informed me that he was only able to cancel the service effective immediately but would not be able to make any modifications to the billed service. In essence, charging me for a service that I never used.
I requested to speak to a supervisor, After an estimated 10 minute wait Supervisor Amy ID ** from the "Loyalty Department" came on the line. I explained the circumstances of the transaction. I explained that at worst I should only be billed a prorated amount from January 5th to the 12th, the date of this conversation. However, she too told me that the bill could not be modified in any way, and that it was my responsibility to have cancelled the smart watch lines. Additionally, she stated that policy prevented any modification to the bill.
As a long time AT&T customer I have first hand experience with having adjustments made to my bill on several prior occasion. So, this Supervisor's unwillingness to budge seems like a lie, is completely unreasonable and nothing short of Hard Ball because I left their company. I found their position to be vindictive and reprehensible. Based on this experience, I would not and could not ever recommend AT&T to anyone, and seize any opportunity to dissuade potential customers from them. Their prices are high and service is extremely poor.

We switched from another carrier due to high bills and bad customer service. When we started with AT&T, we notice no dropped calls, better customer service and easier bills to understand. The plans were much cheaper than our previous provider. We got some additional incentives for being military, and we sure do appreciate the recognizing our military. I’m not sure if we’ll upgrade anything but I’m glad we’re with this company. Thanks for great service. Keep up the good work.

I have been a customer of AT&T for about 3 years, after being a lifetime customer of Verizon. Reason for the switch, it occurred during the pandemic, on a few occasions, I could not reach a customer service representative for a good length of time. Left on hold for 30-minutes or longer, and still, no one would answer. I get it, I understand these are difficult times, but it was definitely was not typical of Verizon to lapse so far into the fog, but it opened up the door where AT&T was able to pull ahead of Verizon, under these special circumstances, They had the staff to maintain a level of acceptable customer service agents to assist. At least on the very front end, but sadly, the benefit ended there too. Overall, Verizon is just a much better service provider. I can’t wait to go back!
I had enough, so I switched. I know better, as I’ve tried to switch to T-Mobile to save a bit of money. A nightmare to say the least. Every time I had to phone customer service, I dreaded it. So back to Verizon, I went. Until this Covid virus did its workplace damage. Believe me when I tell you, I wanted to like AT&T, they’ve been around for a long time and for years, AT&T was the only iPhone carrier in the beginning. That gave them a leg up to perfect their service with Apple.. Not the case. They’re just as unorganised and inconsistent as T- Mobile but cost top dollar! I don’t know why it’s so difficult for AT&T to get their act together in terms of consistency in competency and a genuine desire to want to help their customers but they don’t, they don’t get it!
Verizon, is light years ahead of any of the other carriers including AT&T! You may pay more but, it’s well worth it. Professionalism, sincerity, integrity and a consistent message can be had by each and every experience. I don’t ever remember getting a felling of anxiety when I called Verizon’s customer care department for various reasons, absolutely sparse though. Can’t say the same for the other major carriers including AT&T. I will be switching back to the big V soon. My phone w/ AT&T still had some discounted payment instalments I had to stick around in order to continue getting the discount. That time is almost up!! I need peace of mind again with the a group of true professionals and company that’s proven time and time again, like Mercedes Benz sales catch phrase, “the best, or nothing“.

I did weeks of research to find the exact phone that I wanted--reading specs, watching reviews and even having multiple live chats w/ multiple carriers. I was told by AT&T both over the phone and via chat, that said phone would survive the 3G shutdown. Activation was confusing because of conflicting sets of instructions. Phone support always has "higher than normal call volume" and no option for a callback. Trying to bypass the automated messages I've already heard by pressing 0 disconnects. There are separate numbers for prepaid and wireless and I never knew which to call because I was using a prepaid plan for a wireless phone. The barrage of prerecorded ads loop endlessly when on hold, like they want you to hang up.
I began receiving marketing spam about setting up auto-pay (which I already had) and 3g support going away. I had to opt-out multiple times, even after calling and talking to a rep who claimed the messages had been turned off. Ultimately my service began getting hijacked, and any number I dialed was re-directed to a rep at AT&T who tried to get me to "upgrade" even though the 3G shutdown was 7 months away at the time. When this happened I had to explain that my phone supported 4G and I wasn't interested in "upgrading." This happened multiple times over multiple months, and at least once after the rep claimed my phone was back in service it got hijacked again right away and I had to call again and spoke to someone who barely spoke English.
Finally I ended up speaking to a supervisor who confirmed once and for all that my phone would not survive the 3G shutdown. All the time I spent researching and the money I spent on the phone was for nothing because AT&T misinformed me on multiple occasions. They gave me a one time $10 credit out of their infinite generosity and remorse. Since I needed to "upgrade" I was offered a free phone but nobody made it clear what the restrictions were until I pulled some teeth. Couldn't get a straight answer about whether accepting a new phone but not activating it would further interrupt my current phone service which was already having connectivity issues 5 months prior to the 3G shutdown and dropping calls.
Also had issues with texting and got "network out of order" errors. When I finally ditched the phone and moved to another carrier I was told that I'd have to call separately to cancel payment even after I cancelled service. Then I was told that I wouldn't. I needed a 2nd phone for business purposes and basically the same thing happened. I bought an AT&T Cingular Flip IV and was lied to about its longevity re: 3G. The AT&T Cingular Flip IV might be the worst phone I've ever used:
Receives calls when it's off. Every day I have to pull out the battery when I want to turn the damn thing off.No provision for blocking numbers received via text.
Random messages on boot-up telling me "screenshot saved to gallery" then in the gallery there's nothing.
Can't report a text message as spam until opening it and scrolling up. Reporting as spam does nothing to stop it.
There are Icons on the home screen but it's not a touchscreen so why are they there?
Numbers displayed when dialing aren't separated by dashes which make them difficult to read.
Numbers dialed frequently register more than once.
Can't check old/deleted messages unless you have a current message.

Though they lived in DE agent suggested I take new phone to them. I knew it would help him out so I said fine. I paid the 59.30 tax knowing I would be reimbursed by DE person. When I finally drove down to them in DE on 18th, 1 1/2 hours away and went to get phone activated and get them on acct found out neither agent I had dealt with was not available. I had no choice but to try after Christmas. When my bill was available on 30th saw that it was $375 higher than normal. I found out that agents had put perspective new people on my plan with fictitious #'s and added a 3rd plan to my bill.
I panicked. Called and was told I needed to drive to DE and get the phone that day or would be stuck with the $225 plan for months to come. My other plan had increased over $100 and I was being charged for things I never agreed to. I NEVER signed a document saying I would add the 2 Verizon people in a certain amount of time. This was all done without my knowledge. I drove to DE and got the phone, drove to this store. I was told by agent that I needed to contact AT&T direct to get any satisfaction and I should do it not in their store, go home. I stayed there and called at&t off in corner as I wanted to be sure people added were removed. The 2 people wanting to come to at&t were removed, thank heavens. Once they knew what had been done to me they said, "No way do we want to go to at&t now. We will stay with Verizon." Store told me the tax I had paid for their phone in amount of 59.30 would not be refunded. I was stuck with that also.
Agents totally screwed me over. Bill was reduced 30 dollars by at&t agent on phone, I am out $345 for plan changes done without my knowledge and $60 agents at this store kept.

Since then, I have had few issues until the last couple years when suddenly Customer service has nose-dived to worst Customer service ever. I was lied to about 5G availability for 1.5 years after I bought my 5G phone. The whole time I was given a 4G sim card without my knowledge. After this and other issues including the most expensive phone and internet prices around with the worst download speeds I finally switched to T-Mobile. Much faster internet speeds and 5G service with free Samsung fold phone and Internet box that I didn't have to buy and all for $70 dollars a month less than ATT. It took 2 days and 20 some hours to get an ATT customer support person that could give me a port transfer so I could cancel my account and get my phone number to T-Mobile. They seem to like holding customers prisoner that want to leave them.
T-Mobile was good enough to help me through the multiple holds, transfers, hang-ups and several other issues that the incompetent ATT customer service and technical support people were putting me through for a simple transfer of service. Now I still can't find a customer support person at ATT who can help me pay off my phone so I can unlock it and sell it. You would think it would be easy to pay them money, but again due to incompetence they can't handle the easiest transactions. One way to start would be to hire some Americans in their American customer support line so American customers can communicate effectively. I don't know how many times I had to have the Incompetent Customer support people repeat what they said because the accent they had was as close as you get to another language or dialect. I don't have space to write all of my recently bad experiences, so I just highlighted the most recent.

ATT refused to port my number, and insisted my account could only be closed by a live ATT representative. After four of them promised my account was closed and I was clearly using another carrier, they kept charging me every month. Then they made up about 8 completely unrelated excuses for why they kept charging me every month even after my account was closed. Then ATT gave me a runaround for 3 months to refuse refunding the money. One excuse was that I hadn't turned off BillPay--even after my account was closed. But the next second they claimed my account was not actually closed. Even though I had case numbers, screenshots of ATT agents promising me it was closed and they wouldn't charge me after that date, handwritten notes about who I had spoken to and all their employee numbers.
They then accused me of fraud even though ATT employees had forgotten to enter the accurate IMEI numbers of phones *that ATT sold me* (on a buy one-get one offer). They told me everything would be taken care of and the money would be refunded to my bank account in 4 days--and then sent me an email to say my "case was closed because they could not refund the money to your bank account". As if the problem were my bank.
But after yet another call, they said it wasn't a problem with the bank account and promised that the money would be refunded. But they claimed they weren't authorized to send me a confirmation email, letter, text, anything about any of their promises and confirmations--because my account was closed. Ironically, they also refused, when my account was still open. And then they accidentally let slip that in fact, I would have to call a fifth time to open the case again, after some arbitrary date.
It was the most bizarre runaround of their numerous errors for which they earned hundreds more dollars. I would never use them again for any of their services, and will certainly let everyone know of how awful they have become. I cannot imagine them surviving more than a few more years. There are too many other alternatives--some of which literally cost 1/5 the price. Use MintMobile which has far better coverage anyway and doesn't cut out like ATT does.

I received an email a couple of days later stating that ATT would be sending me a box along with instructions on returning the 2 "old" iPhones. The boxes came a few days later & I carefully placed each iPhone into the padded envelope enclosed, then into the box; Note: Each of our iPhone were in A+++ condition, You would think they were both brand new phones!
About a week later I receive a notice that they received the phones & to check on the status of the rebate. To my surprise, they claim I sent them the wrong phone & that the screen was broken & that my "new" trade-In value is $127.00! To me this seems to me like a bait & switch operation... Promise a good rebate on a returned iPhone & then with no proof, say "Sorry, you sent us a broken phone". I have never even dropped a phone. As a long time AT&T customer I hope they make good on this, otherwise it may be time to move my cell, home internet, streaming TV, to another company.

I value the phone service I'm with. I had been with T-mobile literally since before smartphones until they had their merger with Sprint. Then things went downhill. So I sought out a new carrier. One that I could have as much faith in as I did the previous one. I chose att and at the time it was a good decision. Earlier this year I had upgrade option from a Samsung galaxy s10 plus to a s21 plus. The s10 plus had a value of $800 based on the upgrade promotion. Ok cool so I went with the trade in upgrade. The phone sent to a local Att store. I go there pick up the new upgrade. Now for this upgrade I was told that I'd be sent a return kit and emailed a shipping label for the return of the s10 plus. About a week goes by I have neither item. So I contact customer service and they say just give it a little more time. Ok no biggie.
Time goes on and I contact them again, but no kit no label. I repeatedly contact them regarding the return of this phone as there is a specific time frame of when you can return a trade in. The associate tells me that they see they sent the label in error and make sure I receive in email while I'm on the phone with you. Mind you I've NEVER had a remotely bad experience with att up until this point. So I finally get the shipping label, I print it and go to uses and I have it shipped.
A week later I receive the phone in the mail from att stating that it's beyond trade in term and it is mine to have. For three months plus I attempted to return the phone but never received a shipping label until it was too late. They then attach a $300 fee to my account. I tell them and prove to them that it isn't my fault that the phone was returned late and to remove this fee from my account. Several associates then tell to not pay the amount and that it will cycle off on the upcoming billing cycle. It comes and the fee is still there. Now I'm livid.
One manager calls and asks who told me not to pay the fee and I tell them several of your associates did over the past 2 months. I tell them to go in and review every call I've had with them over the past 4-5 months. All while I've been with att they treated me more than exceptional and I appreciated that fully until this incident. So they ask me where is the old phone and to sell it. I say no because that's not fair because not only did this company send the phone back but many associates told me not to pay the bill.
Finally at roughly 6 months I speak with a manager that removes the bill in seconds and supposedly waives the balance of the new sense it was a major error on there end. My installment fee shouldn't be any more than $200, but instead they're charging a full $800 for my phone is not fair for me to be paying. Now I see that even their most loyal customers they will lie and steal from. Absolutely horrible wireless service department. I wouldn't wish for the most hated and vile person on this planet to have any dealings with this company.

Last year prior to my plan expiring I called to see how to renew my "Plan" as I had a "bundle of services" (cellphone, internet/cable/WIFI/Landline). I was given an offer, told when to expect it. Mind you, this is all over the phone, as COVID prevented face to face transactions. A week later, my plan hasn't converted. I call back to be told the "agent I talked to does not exist and the plan I have expired--but here's one similar..." This went on THREE TIMES. THREE. I was told to "be grateful, look at what we've done for you, etc..." I was lied to, yelled at, hung up on, gaslighted and scammed. WHO DOES THIS??? No one keeps them accountable, and they don't care.

Back around the beginning of 2021 Att Wireless had a promo going on for the Motorola Razr 5g if you had a trade in you could get up to 1000 bucks off, so at the time I had a note 9 that was in basically new condition and Att told me that they would give me 900 off the Moto Razr 5g if I traded it in. So I paid off the Samsung note 9, they sent me everything to pack it up and ship it to them. So they shipped me the Moto Razr 5G and they told me it would take like 2-3 billing cycles to see the credits for my trade in. So I waited and would check in with them to make sure they got the phone and everything was good and they kept telling me, "Yes you got the promotion you'll get the credits." So like 5-6 months go by and I wasn't getting the credits for the promo. So finally they had to open a case to review the promo I should have already been getting.
In the end they screwed me and said they wasn't giving me the promotion I was originally promised. I have most of the transcripts from att where they say that I got the promotion, I even have one where right before they opened the case the representative told me, "Yes you got the promo and on your next bill we will credit you for 5 months at 33.33 a month," which by the way never happened. I then told them if I wasn't getting the promo and the 900 off to send me back my note 9 that I had just paid off I think all together I paid 1300 bucks for and it was in brand new condition and they said, "No we can't do that," lol!!!!???? So they screwed me over on the promotion then I paid off a expensive note 9, sent it to them and they kept it for free!!!
Mind you I told them I have chat transcripts where att reps said I'd get the promotion, get paid back credits etc and in the end I didn't get anything, on top all of that every month my cell bill gets higher and higher and haven't changed anything on our plan. I can't believe they are able to operate like this!!! I've seen other people post about the same problem with AT&T, they trade in their phone for a promotion and end up not getting it!!!

AT&T the worst cellphone company. I asked for a lower charge on the cellphone service and when I received my bill it was over $30 higher. Called customer service and they refused to correct. Also, when I changed service due to them lying to me, I changed in the middle of the service date and they charged me for the full month. If you cancel your service one day into the billing cycle date you will be charged for the full month even though you cancelled your service. Plus, you cannot not use your cellphone because the service is disconnected. So you are paying for a full month of service that you cannot use. THIEVES.

They took my order to switch my four existing numbers. Then they lost the order. I called back. They sent me new SIM cards for 4 new numbers, not my old ones. Went to service center. They said they would be able to make switch but it may take days and they had to cancel original order and start over which may interrupt my service during that period. Then called to just cancel order. They billed my $289 and threatened me with collection for something they screwed up. They are thieves and incompetent.

I like Sam's Club but their partnership with AT&T has to go. I contracted with AT&T at Sam's Club. They promised me $110 a month for three phones and the same coverage as Verizon at least in my area. On top they explained I had nothing to lose with a 30 day trial. Sounds good right! Well... I had a weak signal at my house and 10 miles of sparse to no coverage on my way to work. So I sent it all back and thought that was the end of that. They did a $380 direct debit to my credit card. Well... Attempted anyway it so happens I had an issue with that card and it did go through. So I called them and reminded them of the 30 day trial. They apologized and said they would take care of it and sent me a receipt saying the same.
The following month I got another attempt to debit my card this time for $271. Again I called and the gentleman said my account read balance due $0, and he didn't know what I was talking about. The following week I get a nasty letter "FINAL NOTICE" they are turning me into collections. So again I call this time they know nothing about the $0 balance and can't understand why I haven't paid my bill. I ask for a supervisor, just when it sounded like he was going to take care of it and hour and a half later we were disconnected. Well... I waited 20 minutes since he had my number and I didn't have his. I call back and ask for "Jesus" the supervisor. No one knows a supervisor by that name.
I start over this time a few minutes into the call the gal says she took care of it and I would be getting a confirmation in my email. I ask if I can have that confirmation number? She replies "No". It has to be generated? But offers her name and ID number. I take it and write it down. To date no email confirmation. Now a week later I again am being harassed by AT&T starting over. They advised me that they just debited the original $380. I don't see how they could have that card has been canceled. Here we go again, now I'm sure I will be getting another final notice. I'm checking into FCC complaints and I will be repeating this with every review location I can find. Why would I or anyone else do business with an unethical company like this.

Upgraded cell phone through AT&T service over telephone using third-party vendor. This person got my credit card information as I had to pay the taxes on the phone prior to them sending me the upgrade for me to exchange and send back. Within two weeks of my credit card details being shared with the third-party vendor, a charge for Over $500 was put onto my debit card, claiming to be AT&T ( mimicking AT&T’s normal monthly statements almost to a T using their phone number (correct) and details in the batch charge) which was authorized and then two days later cleared.
Subsequent calls to AT&T this was indeed fraud, they had not charged my card for $500 and change. Charges disputed with bank etc. Fast forward to yesterday I receive a text on my cell phone from AT&T not fraudulent, this was the legitimate text I get every time I get information on my billing or account information. This text basically says, "We still haven’t received your trade-in and you will be charged $500 and change if we don’t receive it by December."
Here’s where it gets interesting. The phone was sent back to them the next day after I received it via United States Postal Service and they probably have it in hand already, however the dollar amount that they threatened me with to charge if they don’t receive my phone in two months, is the exact amount to the penny that was charged fraudulently claiming to be AT&T.
I didn’t even know what the exact dollar amount would be if my phone wasn’t received. There’s only two people on earth that would probably know that either myself (had zero idea) or the representative from third-party that I gave my credit card information to to pay the taxes on the phone. Beware, GO TO AN OFFICIAL LOCATION and trade your phone in, do not give your credit card information to a third-party associate overseas or not an actual AT&T employee. This is being investigated by AT&T and my banking institution, however figured I would share my experience.

We just upgraded 2 iPhone 10’s to 2 iPhone 13’s. A total trainwreck. Took over 7 hours on phone, a trip to Apple & then to AT&T store & then back on phone for another 2 hours to get phones activated & set up on a plan that is $20 plus more a month than what was quoted to us when order was placed. Was told by customer relations that they were sorry about the inconvenience of the misquote but there was nothing they could (would) do. Basically screwed for next 36 months. The irony of the whole deal is this is the second time this has happened. Also had a “misquote” when we got our iPhone 10’s through them. Would love to see them investigated for unethical selling practices and a class action suit brought against them.
For this to happen twice to us is not a coincidence. It won’t happen again as I won’t be stupid enough to do business with them again after this contract is over. When trying to resolve issue at AT&T store the manager stood at back of the store laughing when the rep helping me went to tell him I wanted to speak to the manager. Rep came back & told me the manager was busy & there was nothing they would do & for me to leave their store. When on phone with “customer retention” after that experience and being told they would not honor what was quoted to me I was told a manager wanted to speak to me & would call me as soon as they finished.

Through Walmart we were sold a package for $45 a month only to find out there is no such package when we were billed $60 for the monthly charge...$30 for activation (which we weren't informed of upon signing up)...and will be charged $45 to cancel the account (which we were told was charge free). When I contacted AT&T and spoke with a supervisor, she apologized for all of the misinformation and said "I wish we could honor the package you were sold". Gee, what a novel idea - honor what you sold.

Not reliable! I used to live in the South Port Apartment (Belleville, Michigan) and AT&T was the only option for the Internet. So, I had to make an account during my stay. After 5 months, I moved to another place and I DID return back the device to the company through Fedex (as they mentioned in returning structure). Last night, I noticed they gave my information to a collection agency to made a new account regarding I have never returned the device back and claimed the fee (120$). They reported it in to my Credit Karma to affect my credit!!!! Who are these people??? Unbelievable!

Where did their customer service go? It takes an average of 8-15 minutes to get in touch with a real person when you have an issue with your account. But then that real person is not the right real person. So they transfer you back to a machine. Then another 8-15 minutes later you get in touch with a second real person. But alas, that real person is also not THE real person that you need to speak with, so guess what? Back to the machine.
8-15 minutes later, a third real person! Rinse and repeat for approximately 1 hour and maybe you get to the person that can actually help you. But then the call gets dropped (that dratted terrible AT&T Wireless coverage). And do they call you back?? Nope! Because a telecommunications company cannot make outbound calls apparently. So back to the machine for another hour. If you're lucky, a week or two later maybe your issue will be resolved by a lackluster mid-level manager who hates life and gives 0 cares about whether you are happy or whether they lose your business. That about sum up AT&T? --AT&T Wireless and Home Internet Customer (for now)

AT&T Prepaid is fine if you have no issues, but if you have a problem, getting help is nearly impossible. Being on hold for over two hours to get technical help to activate service or troubleshoot lack of service, only to be placed on hold continuously, given the run-around, continuing to not address the issue, telling you you'll have to wait 24-48 hours to before a technician MIGHT be able to call you (but your phone service isn't on so...) or MIGHT email you. It's the worst customer service ever.
I've unfortunately dealt with this for several years, and it's time to switch companies. Do not sign up for this service. Their online interface is awful, you constantly have to reset your account pin code, literally every time you log in, even if you've reset it minutes before. Go with Credo Mobile, or some other alternative. Don't put yourself through the many inconveniences that come along with this company.

Back in December 2019 I got new cell phone service looking into paying around 130 for three lines, with our own phones. The representative at the store sold us exactly the plan we were looking for (according to him) but with new cell phones included! Then when we realized (less than a month) we were having to pay more than 300 dollars per month, we went back to cancel, because that was not what we were told. It was way more than what we were expecting. So we cancelled and we returned the new phones, We got a receipt to prove it. But now we are being charged with close to 3,000 dollars. Because according to ATT we never returned the phones. Now I have been sent to collections and I have gone back and forth to the store, and nobody can help me.

My husband and I switched our service… My husband and I switched our service from Verizon to AT&T on Thursday September 2, 2021. We had two iPhone 12s shipped to us. First problem the phones wouldn’t activate so we had to call the 800 number. Of course the person spoke horrible English so he was very hard to understand. When it wouldn’t activate we were transferred to another person whose English was even worse. After 1 1/2 hours the phones finally were activated. After setting the phone up my husband's wouldn’t get internet nor could he use data. So..back on the phone to customer service.
After another 2 1/2 hours the advanced technical support guy told my husband that there was something wrong with the phone and he needed to return it to the AT&T corporate store. So the next day he did that. They refused to take it and exchange it. They told him to send it to Apple for exchange even though we received it from AT&T. So I got back on the phone and talked to the loyalty department and she made notes on the account for the corporate store that they needed to exchange the phone. The store refused..said they didn’t care what the loyalty department said they were not going to do it. They said Apple wouldn’t allow them to do it, that’s a lie because I had already talked to Apple. This corporate store we went to is in Valdosta Georgia. They were apparently mad that they didn’t get the sale and absolutely REFUSED to help us. Buyer beware.

I have been a loyal customer with AT&T for 10+ years now. They were very good when I was a new customer to them. Over the past 9 months they have been a nightmare. I have been trying to straighten out a billing issue since December. Every single time I would contact customer service or get so angry that I couldn't get a live person on the phone, I would drive to the closest corporate store just to speak with someone. I am not lying when I tell you that each time I did get to speak with someone I was promised that my billing issues would be taken care of, or I was told "Sorry I can't help you," since the error was my mistake I need to pay my bill or my service will be suspended.
Most recently they have added an additional phone line to my plan (that I did not authorize) which has of course increased my monthly bill. I have tried multiple times to have them remove it, of course nothing was done. The best part of my story is I just received this month's bill and the additional line that was added months ago now shows that this number belongs to an Apple watch that I also never purchased and has added an additional charge of $108.00 per month. Are freaking kidding me!!!

In March 2021 I added a new line for my daughter. I was looking on the website for what phone to get. AT&T was offering an iPhone XS for 30 payments of $5 per month ($150 total). I had a question about the new line and called AT&T to talk with customer service. While on the phone they said I could complete the order over the phone, so I did. Fast forward 3 months and I am being charged $30 per month for the new phone. I did three online chats (1 hr each) with AT&T to question the charges, each time I was told they would correct the problem and I would receive confirmation via email. I did not receive any email confirmations, so I called AT&T. After many calls, transfers, disconnects I learn that because the order was processed over the phone, the discount does not apply and there is nothing they can do. I will be charged 30x$30= $900 for a phone that was supposed to cost me $150.
After 5-1/2 hrs trying to resolve this issue with AT&T the best they can do is give me a $400 credit to my account. So now I am paying $500 for a phone that was advertised as $150. The AT&T employee who processed the order never told me that I would be charged full price for the phone, even though I was very clear that I was discussing the $5 per month offer.

Our internet and landline went down for two days and was "temporarily" fixed. He got us up and running but said it was not permanent and would likely go down again because it has to do with the boxes outside - birds poke holes and destroy fiber optics. Someone was supposed to come out a few days later (Sunday between 8-12), but no one ever showed up or called.
I called again this morning and then said that because it looks fine on his end we would have to pay the $99 fee! I work from home and have lost a lot of money because I had no internet! It's difficult enough with the pandemic. So basically, I have to wait for the internet to go down again and lose more money before someone will come out and fix it correctly without charging us.

This review pertains to my AT&T Prepaid experience. TLDR; AT&T has GREAT coverage, customer service is OKAY at best when it comes to keeping you as a client and keeping your money, however they are BAD at everything else. In relation to the actual Prepaid service: I have been an AT&T Prepaid customer for many years! I had recurring AutoPay ON, for the $30 plan. It came out to be ~$25 with AutoPay discounts. This included unlimited talk and text with NO data! After years and years of paying for this plan with no data, I had to update payment info. I decided to look at plans at the same time. Turns out, the $30 plan now includes 2Gb or data! They didn't tell me at all! No clear indication, no email telling me of this "free" 2Gb I could've had already. After a month with 2Gb, I checked again. For the same $30 now there is 5Gb! What a scam...
In terms of the customer service: The customer service experience is a wild rollercoaster. If you call and are lucky enough to catch them on a non busy day. It can be pleasant. They attentively assisted me in my troubles for billing early in my prepaid ventures. If however you need to lookup issues, or contact someone, you will be in for a treat. When you try to chat with someone on the website, it leads you to YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook! Not a live chat at all. You even need to make an account on their site or forums to comment which is totally separate from your prepaid account!
Other information: If you ever lose access to your phone, such as it falling into a lake, getting stolen, etc... You would be screwed if you want to transfer your phone number. They ask that you CALL them from your MISSING phone to get that account number. Which makes no sense at all. I have complete access to accounts, all information linked to those accounts, bank statements, etc... To prove it is me, to try and get that account number. NOTHING.
The plans are expensive in comparison to other companies. Sure you get good coverage, but most other companies do too! Steer clear from doing business with AT&T for their Prepaid services. Complete scam in my opinion. Even Mint Mobile will email you if you don't use all your data in a month to try and save you money. AT&T care about one thing. MONEY. They will assist you in a timely manner if, and only if, it pertains to money.

Had a terrible experience with the Montgomery PA store, the salesperson mislead me, I went to get a new phone because my old phone was no longer holding a charge. It took 3 hours to get a new phone, which is ridiculous, as I was leaving the salesperson told me he added a 3rd line and when I told him I didn't want it, he said just cancel it. However, it isn't that easy because they attach the installment plan to the new line and if you try to cancel it they charge you for the whole cost of the phone.
I did not request a 3rd line and have no phone attached to the 3rd line, the new phone is attached to my old phone number. So basically AT&T attached the installment plan to a non-existent phone, this ensures that you will have to continue with the 3rd line whether you want it or not. They claim it is because of the promotion, but when the promotion expires you will then have to pay for that 3rd line because you cannot cancel it without paying for the phone. Also, you are paying taxes and fees on the line you do not want. The AT&T Customer Service told me they couldn't do anything and that I need to contact the store I purchased it from, the store said they cannot do anything at all. My advice is to choose another carrier and stay away from AT&T!

Ask for a hire level of management does you no good and the ability to speak English to you so as to be understandable get worse. Actual cell service is only reason we remain. Staying may only be until if and when this gets resolved as they hold all the cards in this relationship. Consumer rights be trashed.

Worst service and wireless cell plans ever from ATT. Never believe the plans they have posted. I had 2 lines with them and had one switched to VERIZON for better pricing and better customer service low bill with the same unlimited perks... Bill never changes and I dont have to auto enroll for any deals. Att bill was always too high and nobody could explain it and when I kept the one line with them after the switch it was supposed to be for 60 a month but noooo.. Received surprise bill for 80 and was told it's a 20 dollar charge for no auto enroll!! The lies this provider uses to try to lure customers is pathetic... Also the service is bad for all of Southern Cal people and for international... DON'T USE ATT!! Calls dropping left and right and always low bars... Going today to get this second line switched to another provider as well. Should've just switched both!! Lesson learned ????

Recently made a payment online via At&t website. Have paid this manner for over 10 years. Received a confirmation code of payment and email confirmation that payment was made 06/07. Payment was never pending with bank, nor was ever collected or applied to At&t account. Called to inquire. Told via agent, email, and even escalation, that I needed to "PROVE" I had submitted the payment. It is in their system, they even read me the original confirmation code to confirm I had the correct code.
Because I had made the payment on 06/07, received the email and code, I did not feel it was my responsibility to go "chasing" the information for them. If they have the records, they could have easily searched for the payment authorization and reissued collection on the original payment. Been with At&t for over 30 years. Better customer service is required to keep me another 30 years.

My number was ported from AT&T to T-Mobile without my authorization. I was lucky enough to catch it before the number was in use and got T-Mobile to port the number back to AT&T but I lost a half day of time having to take care of this. I'm seeing people that haven't been as lucky and lost a lot of money. But this is what happens, someone contacted AT&T got my account information and stole my number. AT&T's security measures are very poor and scammers are using this method into hack your phone. Afterwards you don't know who has your number or where it went and there's nothing you can do because they are acting as AT&T employees and using authentic credentials to get your information or it's simply just an inside job done by AT&T workers. Either way your phone is not safe and given how much our phones is tied to so many things the impact can be massive.
If you're an AT&T customer please be aware and take measures. Activate the security feature where you receive notification via text or email before your phone is ported anywhere. I'm not sure if that will work but it's better than nothing and having to go through this experience. I will be migrating away from AT&T given how easy they are making it for scammers to steal your mobile identity. To top it off when my number was ported back to AT&T I had to repay my monthly bill because my old account was closed as soon as it was ported. They would not credit me considering I had already paid and this situation was not my fault. So in the end you will lose time and whatever the monthly bill cost is to activate your phone. Terrible.

I have been with AT&T for over 20 years and because the prices continued to rise and because they are a very "Woke" company, I decided to cancel them and go with someone else. I had originally transferred 4 numbers of 5 lines to another company and when I called to cancel the 5th line, I was on the phone being transferred to different departments for 2 hours. I was hung up on twice and the sweet friendly attitudes that I normally got when I called before, became nightmarish "what do you want" attitudes. I have never experienced such terrible and unprofessional behavior from At&t in the last 20 years. I will say that I also called and canceled My Direct and I got the normal professional and nice customer service from them. Because of this bad experience with the phones, At&t will not get my service again.

Every month, when my phone bill arrives, the cost goes up and the service goes down. I am currently traveling in Mexico and was trying to make a medical appointment and couldn't do it. I have spent 3 hours of my day on the phone. Two of the phone reps were great, but the one male rep was simply nasty. Once I'm back in the US, I am most definitely switching to another phone service. This one is the very worst. I've had to go through this six times in the last six months or so, and I got an $11 discount and that was it (the guy I was talking to didn't care). Not recommended.

January 16th, 2021 I entered the AT&T store in Slidell, Louisiana to purchase a pre-paid plan I found on the company website. I called ahead to verify I could cancel my current service (Mint Mobile) due to MMS issues and start AT&T that day. After one hour and 45 minutes in the store I was first told the plan I called about was only available if I went home and ordered it online. This after I had to cancel my Mint Mobile plan prior to being seated in the store. Now my option was to pay a higher price plan available in the store or go home, order online and be without a phone for 3-5 days. I reluctantly went with the bait and switch higher plan. The AT&T rep (Damon) took my credit card and walked off.
When he returned he was unable to get my Samsung A71 5G phone activated. Damon walked off several more times and finally returned to tell me he found that he can get me the lower price online plan but needs my credit card again. This time he returns and hands me a receipt for the higher plan ($435.37) stating that the charge did not get processed and my card was only charged for the lower price plan and the phone is now activated. Approximately 10 days later I learn that my credit card has been charged twice that day - once for the plan I got and once for the $435.37 charge I was told was not processed. For two weeks I called and left messages at the store for Damon but was never granted the courtesy of a return call.
After numerous calls to various AT&T Mobility departments around the country who all claimed they could not help me with a refund, I returned to the store on February 20th with a copy of my credit card statement showing the two charges. With Damon not available the assistant store manager, Trichelle, proceeded to help. Once Trichelle saw the problem she attempted unsuccessfully for 30+ minutes to credit my credit card. I offered that she could just put the credit on my AT&T internet account if that would be easier. Neither option for the refund was able to be processed.
Trichelle gave me two toll-free numbers to call and even gave me her cell number to offer to anyone I could reach higher up at AT&T so she could explain the store error. Ultimately on February 23rd I contact a Kris at an alleged "office of the president" and open case #82470 with her to have someone issue my refund. On February 24th I received a call from Mr James ** who was assigned to my case. For the next 5 weeks all I got was phone messages, texts or email from Mr. ** stating that he "still looking into it". On Friday, April 2, 2021 I sent an email to Mr. ** stating that is my refund was not issued by the end of the day Monday, April 5th I would contact my attorney, the Louisiana Public Service Commission and the BBB. My attorney was copied on the email. After receiving no response from AT&T I contacted the Louisiana Public Service Commission on April 7th stating the details I have in this post. A case was opened almost immediately.
On April 13th I received voice messages and an email from Ms. Ruth ** with the "office of the president" stating she "would like to learn more". I replied that there was nothing more to learn and that Mr. ** in her office and Trichelle in the Slidell store had all the facts, and until a refund was issued I had nothing to talk about. On April 20th I received a voice message and a text from Ms ** stating she was trying to reach me to issue the refund. I returned a call to Ms. ** and was told the Slidell store has a new manager (I wonder why) and he, Mr. Sedrick **) knows how to issue my refund but I need to go to the store to have it done. I told her I would be at the store within 15 minutes and she stated she would call Mr. ** letting him know I was on my way. I entered the store and Mr. ** greeted me within two minutes and took me back the cash register in the rear of the store.
He next asks for all the details related to to the misappropriation of my credit card. Even though I told him everyone knows the details I patiently gave him yet another recap. He got up to privately speak with Trichelle while I stood at the register. When Mr. ** returned he sat (while I stood, not even offered a chair) in from the register screen for approximately ten minutes only stopping to deal with two other sales agents who came and interrupted him. After this time I asked how much longer this was going to take and he rudely told me he was looking into it.
I told him Ms. ** clearly told me I was coming to the store for my long overdue refund and I got another rude reply at which I had had enough of AT&T's failed customer service and I stated that I wold go back to my attorney and the Public Service Commission if he could not issued the refund right then. Mr. ** stated that at that point he would no longer speak to me. I left the store and called Ms ** from my car and in an very agitated state let her know what an incompetent and rude person Mr. ** was and that he obviously had not been instructed to issued the refund. It is now two days later and I've heard nothing from this company that falsely charged my credit card $435.37 on January 16th.

After almost 18 years with AT&T wireless service I am forced to cut the tie. The reason is pretty simple. It is due to their poor customer service, un-helpful management and not to mention their outrageously high service rates. While their service is ok, their agent mislead customers to add plan that supposedly would reduce my monthly cost, instead it went up. Furthermore, the hotspot service was removed from the plan without any mention by the agent. When I called their customer service to ask why the bill went up (when I was told it would reduce monthly cost by $40), another lovely agent said all the right things. However, she was not able to help, but would transfer me to a "loyalty service department" and they would be able to take care of me.
Another 30 mins of **, the loyalty service agent" tried selling me a service (basically adding hotspot service, which I already had previously) that would cost even more... WOW! Then the "manager" comes along...absolutely useless. I asked her to put me back on my previous plan before they messed up my service. Wow what a big mistake that was!! 12 hours later no change. Spent 2.5 hours on hold and all, very disappointing as the value aspect no longer exist with this company.... Time to go shopping for another carrier.

My husband and I went to the 2900 Los Feliz Blvd AT&T branch in Los Angeles on 1/18/20 as the store had a "promotion" (Bogo Promo). The promotion consisted of purchasing one iPhone, and getting the second one free. We already had an AT&T account and two iPhone 6's (my husband has been a customer since 2006). We traded them in as part of the promotion, and were given the two new iPhones. The "salesman" ** said that our initial bill was not going to reflect correct amounts and that it was going to take "a couple of billing cycles" until we saw the corrected charges for the promotion. A few months later we called ** as the bills kept showing that we were being charged for TWO brand new phones as opposed to only one. We kept calling and calling, we kept visiting the store, and * kept saying "just to wait" for the charges to adjust eventually on our bill.
We finally called AT&T "Customer Care" and they said there was nothing they could do and to resolve the issue directly with the store. ** kept purposely delaying adjusting whatever issue they were having and continue lying to us saying that we were going to see an adjustment on our account. Finally, towards the end of the year we reached out to the "store manager," **, who suspiciously and all of a sudden, "found the error" on our account that had kept us from having our promotion reflecting the correct amounts. We had been paying for TWO phones for almost an entire year instead of only one, because of an error the salesman ** had made on our account from the start. ** reassured us that now that the "error" had been found, we were going to receive a refund of $750.00.
A couple of weeks passed, no refund. We again called and called, visited the store several times, no refund. Finally the issue was escalated to **'s superior, someone also named **. We followed up with ** SEVERAL times for SEVERAL WEEKS, then MONTHS (I have proof of this) and he had no answer for us from his superior ** in regards to our refund. We finally got a hold of ** on February of 2021 and he had the audacity to tell us that he acknowledged that they owed us $750, but that this issue was "over 12 months old" and because of that small detail, THAT was the reason why they were not going to refund us what was owed to us. I told **, "What about the COUNTLESS times we called and visited the store to try to have the issue resolved WITHIN the correct timeframe since early 2020?"
So they not only made a mistake on our account, but PURPOSELY dragged correcting the error made on our account for over a year in order to then state that 12 months had already passed, and that they didn't issue account adjustments past that time period. This is a scam and fraud by AT&T. To drag the issue long enough to make sure customers don't get refunded what is owed to them. We have documentation and proof of the store manager acknowledging that they made an error on our account and that they in fact owe us $750.

At&t then claims they have nothing to do with Asurion when you complain. Asurion won't even take your calls after the claim is closed. The little guy gets screwed every time.

Someday there will be a class action lawsuit against these pieces of human garbage.
If you simply report the device stolen or lost then you won't have to return the old device and they can't charge you an additional $850 for not returning it. Don't let yourself be penalized for being honest. I've been with AT&T since 2006. I pay around $6,000 per year to AT&T. I have 6 lines with data plans with AT&T.

In Sept 2020, I called in to make a payment for my bill and update my address since I recently moved. The representative who assisted me said since I've been a loyal customer for 5 years I qualified to get "3 NEW SAMSUNG A19's for FREE". I told her I didn't need any new phones and she kept trying to give me the phones. She said all the phones are FREE and all I had to do was pay a shipping fee - it was around $35 for all 3 phones. Again she said they were FREE and I could have them in case one of my phones needed to be replaced. She also stated if I didn't like them, I could send them back. Again out of skepticism when it comes to corporate marketing strategies- I asked her what's the catch and she said there isn't any except the shipping fee. Otherwise the phones are FREE and mine to keep for being a LOYAL customer. Sadly, I fell for it.
Well we received the phones and activated one because a week before my wife broke her phone. So instead of paying $200 for our insurance to get a replacement we figured we'll try the new phone. It was not to her or my liking so we returned ALL 3 FREE phones. We returned the phones before the 14 days they give us without penalty - even though theoretically we shouldn't have gotten a penalty because they were FREE - right? Well no, that is the opposite that has happened.
Back in October I received a bill for 3 NEW lines and the 3 PHONES we returned! I was livid, 1) for the rep lying to me and adding 3 NEW lines I never requested nor needed and 2) for being charged for phones that I was told were FREE and we returned them. So every 2 wks after that (I am serious- every 2 weeks till today) I had to call ATT to 1) pay my monthly bill and ARGUE with them that they were sent the phones and that I didn't agree to a new contract with 3 new lines. So they took it off pending review of my case and "waiting for the phones to arrive".
Two weeks later I get a text stating I owe $2200! They were charging me for the 3 phones and 3 lines. On that call I got them to remove the lines, but continued with the problem of the returned phones they say they haven't received - this went on for another month. Again 2 weeks later- the same routine. I would pay my regular cell charges and argue with them about 3 FREE phones I am being charged and did not have.
In Dec, I am back at again with them - every 2 weeks. I make a payment every month and in between, every 2 weeks I am back on the phone trying to get the extra charges for the 3 FREE phones removed. This time they started canceling my service for non-payment! I believe during that month, it was when I was told by a rep to hold my payment for about 8 days to see if they received the phones to make the adjustments to my account. I argued, that's not my problem because I don't have the 3 FREE phones! Well I was credited $600 because the system doesn't allow more. Again 2 weeks my bill was supposed to be reduced until the balance (credit) of the returned 3 FREE phones was completed.
At that time they admitted to having received the phones at their warehouse in early November but can't be totally credited until it was in their system? That made no sense - right. The new statement came and the credit was reversed and it happens EVERY TIME a representative gave me the credit! Seems that AT&T has a backstop whereas the COMPUTER overrides what the representatives are crediting customers.
Fast forward to today Mar 23, 2021-my service has been disconnected since yesterday because AT&T is saying that they've given me enough credits and that I have to pay for late and re-connection fees! So far, they have only reversed - not credited because I don't owe them squat for 3 FREE phones they admit to receiving nor am I paying the fees because it was their lying representative that got me into this mess. BTW that representative was let go back in November - seems I am not the only one that AT&T has and continues to screw! I've asked them to pull the original recording of the FREE phone set-up and said they can't because that's a different department. Convenient isn't it?
So after speaking with several managers and wasting at least 2 hrs every two weeks to correct what their employee did - I have tried my best to resolve this amicably. Today, I made the representative say out loud he was recording me and I recapped the fiasco that At&T is involved with cheating their customers into contracts and payments they are not entitled to receive by strong arming us.
Well, they chose the wrong client. On the recording I told the rep to forward the recording to his manager for action. I again agreed to pay what I normally pay for my monthly service he refused today, a manager refused yesterday and another rep as well because the system would not allow them. I will be suing AT&T in small claims court for - 1) False advertising 2) Predatory Marketing 3) Mental duress 4) my lawyers fees if needed. If AT&T has screwed you - sue them!

When I still had not received the billing credit by the end of January the trade in department instructed me that it would be processed any day and just continue to check back. The trade in had still not been processed by the end of February and after pushing the issue with AT&T they agreed to submit a form that would resolve the issue in 48 hours. The problems really began after this with representatives that would hang up on me and refuse to answer my questions.
The issue is still not resolved after escalating the claim to the highest department available and submitting more forms to correct the issue. An ICU form was submitted on 3/4 and should have resolved by 3/9. I still cannot get a consistent response and the problem still has not been resolved.

I have made numerous attempts to get AT&T to resolve this issue, they even gave me a case number and promised it would be taken care of by January 4, 2021. The case number is **. I am getting the runaround but not the credits for moving my services to AT&T. I am a retired 70 year old on a fixed income and what I am paying AT&T is more than what I would be paying had I not left Verizon wireless.

I purchased 2 phones on the same day with the same device discount promotion. After a few billing cycles, I realized I no longer receive device credits on one of the 2 phones. AT&T constantly drops the device credit on the bill so I had to contact them every month to receive the credit (Quite frustrating). Recently I talked to a service manager, and he created a ticket in which he agreed to refund for a 4 month worth of missing credits and ensure that future credits are deposited correctly. However, next day, I got an email indicating that the case is closed without any explanation. I need to start over and it’s FRUSTRATING. What a poor system with a terrible and irresponsible customer service!

Review for AT&T Wireless. I purchased the iPhone 12 mini through the AT&T website 2/1/21, using their trade-in deal. Chatted with an AT&T representative online that same day BEFORE purchasing to verify if our current plan was eligible to receive the trade-in promotion [documented conversation by taking pictures with phone]: I specifically inquired if our 'unlimited text/talk' plan was included in the promotion, even though our plan does not include 'unlimited data'. The representative assured me it was.
Based on this information I purchased the 12 mini, traded in my iPhone 6s the week of 2/21/21, and received a confirmation text 3/4/21 from AT&T saying my trade-in device was received. This text also said, "In order to qualify for one of our current trade-in offers & get promo credits on your new device, you must sign up for an eligible unlimited plan within 7 days."
I then called AT&T 3/4/21 and spoke with Jan Erika, who referred me to an AT&T store. I visited an AT&T store 3/5/21, and they gave me a customer support number to call. Called the support number the same day & spoke to Michael. I explained the circumstances. He told me that since it had been more than 14 days since the original purchase, AT&T could not adjust the monthly bill to include the trade-in value of $350.
Just to note: I took my phone to an AT&T store to complete the trade-in instead of mailing it in; however, I did not even receive the trade-in materials from AT&T in the mail until 2 weeks AFTER I'd already made the original purchase. So there was no way I could have known and communicated my complaint to AT&T within the 14-day time frame. The trade-in value was the only reason I had decided to purchase the new phone through AT&T to begin with. Even with all the documentation I was able to provide, AT&T said they were sorry the representative had given me the wrong information, but they would not correct the issue.

AT&T has been sending its monthly bills later and later. This month my bill arrived 3 days before its due date. No way my payment can travel across several states in 3 days. To be clear, this is intentional and not a USPS problem. The rest of my bills arrive at least 10 days before payment is due. AT&T has been a week or less for some time. 3 days is beyond the pale. They want me to go paperless or they want to collect late fees - probably both. So if you prefer paying bills by check you need to take this into account when choosing your carrier.

I just purchased new iPhone 12 from At&t. Salesmen was very nice but would not give me a 25 $ credit for my existing galaxy phone in order to get 350 $ off my purchase of brand new iPhone. We proceeded to call 4 different depts within at&t, including customer loyalty, trade in dept. and main office. All departments blamed each other and said they couldn’t help me. The last one blamed the computer and said she could not override it and had no discretion. Baloney. The salesmen looked it up and I have been a customer for 21 years. They all told me to go fishing. Does this sound like a bad story? Yes I got stuck for the whole 800$ for new iPhone and they told me to take my old phone home.

I would like to give zero rating, Unfortunately there is no 0 option. I don't think it is a mere coincidence that so many customers got into the same scams by these sales associates. Looks like, AT & T corporate team train these sales (scam artists) teams on how to trap and cheat customers. AT & T sales team is a big SCAM. Never believe what they say. I have been with AT & T for almost 20 years and I have traded/purchased many phones. I went to the store for a simple billing inquiry. As mentioned in many other customers, here also the sales rep said, if I upgrade my phone with 2-year contract, I would get a free phone.
I was aware of the AT & T next (Installment plan for full price). He assured me that, it is not an installment plan. When I saw the additional charges in the next month's bill, I called the customer service. Unfortunately, the customer service is so useless and dumb. They said it will be adjusted after 2-3 bill cycles. As you all could imagine, I end up paying full price for the phone and the only reply I get from the loyalty department is BIG DUMB SORRY.
In addition same stupid sales tactics to upgrade my existing plan and it would not cost any more but get more features like data and other things. Before the upgrade, I free AT & T TV on mobile. As they are aware of the SCAM that, they want to charge the customers for this feature. They kept this feature for 6 months and later canceled it without notice. When I called the AT & T for this issue they said. It was not part of my new plan and can't change it, because it was over 6 months. Another DUMB reason on why I was getting that free TG service was, It took 6 months to get those changes to implement. Another SCAM: We can do free exchange after we pay 50%. The catch there was, you are getting charged 5 bucks more from the beginning. Which will total to 5x30 = 150. As usual, they never inform about these additional charges beforehand. They will STEAL customers like bloodsuckers.

I didn't think there was a wireless company that had worse customer service than Verizon. I was wrong. The customer service is so poor, I couldn't even imagine how anyone could keep service with this company. I have tried for over the course of two days to get help with an order I placed. I get told they can't help. I get transferred to automated lines that disconnect me. I never received my phone. I just want my money back.

They only want you to sign up for the next cell plan, obviously to get paid! They will say whatever to get you to fall for their tactics. Unless you enjoy throwing away money, do yourself a favor, stay away from the hassle, find some other place. You'll get ripped off here!

1/22 AT&T offered to upgrade my phone for only $6 more than my current bill because they would give me $899 for my current phone, I only had to pay $51 for sales tax. 1/27 I was delivered the wrong phone and called upon receiving the wrong phone and was told it would be corrected. The rep had me on the phone for almost an hour, she stated she had the correct ordered. I only had to pay the sales tax again and I would have the phone in 2 days. The rep said they were placing me on hold but hung up the line!
I proceed to call back since no one called even though she asked for my number in case that happened. The next rep I speak to states she can help me complete the order, places me on hold for about 20 mins although she came back about every 2 minutes to ask me to continue to hold. Finally she comes back and states she can't help me because of something to do with the wrong phone still in my possession and she had to transfer me to another agent who would help me resolve it, but she had to blind transfer me and I just needed to explain it to the next rep once they answered the line.
Ok 3rd rep now and over an hour in talk time with no results. Speaking with 3rd rep now and I explain whole situation to him and he puts me on hold for about 15 minutes to read previous notes he says. He comes back on the line and tells me they were ordering me the wrong phone again. They had placed an order for Samsung note 20 when I wanted the Samsung 21+ Ultra but that phone actually didn't come out for another 2 days so he has no idea why the 2 other reps told me that's what they were ordering. So at this point 3 calls, 3 reps and I have paid them $122 and still no phone in addition to I had to call back in 2 days so they could fix everything.
1/29 I call back 4th Rep who I explain it all to them and they proceed to fix the problem but I have to pay $71 dollars this time for sales tax and the rest would be refunded when they received my trade in device and the wrong phone THEY sent me, I reluctantly agree. Rep states I will have my phone in 2 days. 2/4 Six days later I receive a trade box for my old phone but still no new phone. I call AT&T back again, 5th call 5th rep. Rep cannot find my order number for about 15 mins but finally does and tells me Fedex tried to deliver my phone and no one was home to receive it! Lie! Me and my wife work from home and haven't left the house since the order was placed. I inform him of this and the fact the AT&T sent me a USPS tracking number which has had no movement since received, he ask me to hold while he investigates further but then the line disconnects again! No call back from rep #5 either.
I call back again rep #6 Daniel who again takes 15 mins to find my order then needs about another 15 mins to read thru the previous notes. Then he needs to investigate where the phone may be. Another 15 minutes goes by. Once he has done this he tells me Fedex has my phone at their warehouse and they are behind due to Covid so I should just wait to hear from them AT&T cannot do anything. I ask him for better solution since all the time and calls that has passed we need to do something else besides waiting to see what happened especially since the last rep told me the phone was back at AT&T warehouse so I am not confident FEDEX has this phone I have no tracking number for.
Daniel says he find a better solution for me. He places me on hold for about 20 minutes coming back every so often to ask me to continue to hold. He finally comes back and says If I cancel my order I will get all my money back in a few days! This was his fix, I ask can we find another solution, I don't want to cancel my order. He places me on hold again, another 20 minutes he comes back and says I should cancel the order and go into a store and just buy it there! I advise him due to Covid is the only reason I ordered it online, this is not an acceptable solution. I ask for a supervisor, I am put on hold and the line is disconnected. No phone still!

I've had several prepaid wireless accounts with several MVNOs including T-Mobile twice and they never asked for your social security account much less required it. AT&T's explanation is that "it adds an extra layer of security." For who? Certainly not me, the consumer! Why would you need to run a credit check (I assume) for services that are "prepaid"? It lowers my "layer of security" to carelessly give out my social security number. For once I wish the FCC and government would "really" protect consumers and police these abusive business practices.

My husband and I recently went to the AT&T store to buy him a new phone. While we were there, working with an agent, a female agent interrupted repeatedly to tell us we should "upgrade" our plan to get unlimited data, because 'it will only cost $1 more" and we would get one more phone line. We said no because we had no need for a phone line, but the agent who was helping us was taking so long that we decided to listen to the woman and eventually agreed to the "upgrade." She didn't tell us we would lose our ability to use our phones as hotspots as a result. For the last week we haven't been able to figure out what was wrong, and my husband was finally told we don't have "a hotspot plan." To get the hotspot again, we now have to pay $10 more a month than we were already paying. It was a blatant bait and switch and that woman misled us completely about what we were getting.

Decided to cancel my ATT cellular plan two months back. Was promised a free Iphone11 on my second visit with loyalty service only to receive my bill and be over charged $10. Manager said there’s no record from phone call with loyalty rep that she offered the phone for free or that she promised a specific billing price that would incur until I changed plan. Att has no loyalty to customers, only to con their customers to be falsely offered something over the phone so there is no evidence of transaction to keep us happy until billing arrives. Unbelievable that there is nothing in loyalty report to support my recall of discussion.
My advice to customers is to record your conversation with Att when a deal is being processed over the phone, because Att will find a way to be the dealbreaker if it is not part of their process to make billions for stockholders. I realize it’s only $10 a month, but I made my decision to stay with them on the terms that were agreed upon for the service they provide. It took me 15 years of being a loyalty customer, but after I finish paying off phone it’s off to a lot better cellular plans that offer lower costs and more data. Left this review so others don’t fall for Att's culture of misconceptions of loyalty, because I’m stuck with them again until phone is paid off!!!

I purchased a 4 line family plan with AT&T 2 weeks ago. The service has been decent so far (although I don't notice any significant difference using 5G). What I am not satisfied with is related to the seller who managed my purchase. Both, the first representative (Francisco) who responded all my initial questions on January 12, 2021, and the one who actually managed my purchase (Gerardo) on January 13, 2021, assured me that I shouldn't worry about the activation costs because they were going to waive them from my purchase as a promotion for new customers. However, after two weeks, the company neither have the notes from the purchase and an accurate billing for me yet, nor does it intend to discount the promised activation fees from my bill. I'm currently deliberating between staying or paying the amount for the phone I purchased and then canceling the service.

I have been an AT&T wireless customer for years. I haven't had any problems until recently. In the past, I always purchased my cell phones from Amazon or Walmart. I received a notice that I needed to upgrade because the phone I had will no longer be valid with the new 5G services. Because I waited until the last minute, I purchased an LG from AT&T. That was my first mistake. The telephone stop working after 8 months. I contacted AT&T and the phone was under warranty. I was quickly sent another phone. I returned the old one immediately. The next week after returning the phone, I started receiving calls that the phone had not been returned. I explained the phone had been returned and gave the customer service person the tracking number.
I was told there were several warehouses, due to the pandemic, holidays, and sickness, the phone probably had not been scanned. The next month, I was charged for the returned phone. When I called, the customer service person, she explained the process of the warehouse and scanning again. The tracking number that I was given by AT&T to keep up with the return was not any good. I am now required to go back to the post office and track down when the package was mailed. Needless to say, I will never get another phone from AT&T.

I have been a customer, for a very long time. This company is the worst for over billing, bought a ipad. It's been paid for over 2 months now, still being charged for a payment. Been on the phone with their billing department many times still have a big bill. Gave this bill to my attorney. They're not getting away with this, leaving this company, never to return. Terrible service in their stores, texting, and personal talk among employees is more valuable than dealing with customers. They hide in the back room when it gets busy, sports on the company television is more important than earning a honest paycheck. Employees argue over some dumb basketball loser while waiting on a issue from a customer tired, old and fed up with stupid, lazy people and the companies that value them.
