    It all started with making changing plans so my husband who is a nurse could get a discount. After 2 weeks of calling, hanging up on me, getting nowhere. Nothing being done, AT&T opened a new account that I didn't ask for. Now being charge for account I didn't even want. Their customer service is beyond horrible and unprofessional. If you tell them something they don't want to hear, they just hang up. I suggest and highly recommend not doing business with them. I have never had such bad and horrendous customer service.

    Switched to AT&T late this August in response to the BYOD program advertising a $250 Visa Rewards Card per eligible line. My lines were deemed as eligible and I was looking forward to my promotional cards coming as a new customer. However, I never received any communication, notification, text, or alert to bring my attention to any kind of process to claim my reward. Have spent over six hours on the phone, conversing with customer care, rewards, retail support, and online chat, totaling about 20 AT&T representatives. Many times I found myself speaking with customer care, only to find out that I needed to talk to rewards, then I would be speaking with rewards, only to find out that I needed to talk to customer care. Not one person was able to assist me with how to claim my reward.

    I was notified by five representatives that I am eligible for the $250 Visa Reward Cards, however, I am refused the issuing of the reward because they stated that I am now outside of their window. This window was never communicated to me, and confusing to me as a customer since the promotion I am being denied is still a current promotion running on their site. The representatives and supervisors simply could not and do not want to understand how I was not notified. Also, not any department wants to assist with issuing me the reward.

    My experience with AT&T leads me to believe that the BYOD program is a gimmick and a scam meant to lure people over to their company with no intention of honoring their end of the promotional agreement. Please report this link as a scam: https://www.att.com/wireless/byod/ and alert other people to avoid signing up for AT&T. Also, how can a company with an average review of one star have a rating of A+ from BBB? I think it's time customer input has an effect on the rating of big business. At this point, I think AT&T not only needs to issue the Visa rewards gift card for each of the lines but also a statement credit as a consolation for their customer care and rewards departments failing to assist the request of their customers.

    AT&T is the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Their phone system only works by voice not by pressing buttons, so if you are sick and can't talk the system hangs up on you! It doesn't even give you the choice of pressing the buttons, like most other systems do. That is just outrageous! Also, I have had nothing but trouble with them ever since I tried to cancel my service almost 3 months ago. They charged me three times after canceling my service and I had to call each time to get a refund and reiterate that I wanted the service cancelled and now for the fourth time they are charging me again. This is undoubtedly the worst customer service I have ever had with any company. I would advise anyone thinking of getting AT&T service of any kind to think again and get anyone else!

    2 Business lines stolen for 3 days. BUSINESS LINES. Att finally answer phones, told to call back 2-4 hrs 2 times, then 1-3 hrs, then told FRAUD dept is closed... Had to get a police report. Transfer to wrong depts. Disconnect calls. They didn't take care of me. $15,000 money stolen from this illegal port of my lines and loss of business for 3 days... They offered me a insulting $10 credit for being out of service for 3 days on work lines... Basically you have to keep calling to get anything done. I mean calling for a few days until you get someone to care and not pass you off.

    AT&T does not even deserve 1 star. I moved to the country and unfortunately AT&T was the only carrier that provided service in my area. The phone I wanted had to be mailed to me. I received not one but two incorrect phones. After an hour or so phone call (no call with AT&T will EVER be under an hour) they agreed to send the correct phone. I mailed them back the 2 incorrect phones.

    Two months later I was charged close to 600 dollars for the 2 phones. I called (of course over an hour call) and after much debate the rep admitted that the phones were shown as returned. She told me it would take about 2 to 3 billing cycles to see the credit. After the 4th billing cycle with no credit I called in and had to start all over. Same result. Still no credit. Now I am sent to the Loyalty Specialist who after hours on end gives me a case number and proclaims that the specialist will contact me no later than 12/7/2020. No phone call. They have stolen my money and I want it back. I literally want to move just to get a different phone plan- I hate them with a passion.

    Absolutely the worse customer service I have ever received!!! I wish I could AT&T negative stars. Misinformation at all levels of the organization from offshore team to managers. I have been waiting over a week for internet!! Called everyday. Have called 10 different occasions and talked to over 15 different people. Constantly getting transferred. First they lose my move order even though I have an emailed confirmation. Next, they “100% guaranteed” a technician was arriving today. Called and confirmed twice this week. Only to find out the technician was never even scheduled. Now I will have to wait another day for a technician to come (if they actually come)! Lies after lies. I have never distrusted a company more. I have Spent hours and hours on the phone with them. Everyone takes forever to even look at the most basic information. DO NOT USE AT&T! They are terrible! The internet is not even fast. It cuts in and out. You are much much better off with Spectrum Internet for the Dallas area.

    Don't use AT&T. I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T. AT&T told me I will get free iPhone 11 for trading my old phones. I did that and they charge me $23.34 each phone for 30 months. I sent in my old phones and called them 5 times. They first said we never received my old phones. Even they received they still charged for new phone for a year now. I pay $243 a month for 5 lines. They even increase $25 for one time charge. Not explain why? AT&T cheated customer and break their contract. No free phone. First couple months bills were $600 plus, then drop to $350 a months for several months. When disputed, they dropped to $243 a month. DON'T SIGN UP AT&T. I regret to get off from T-Mobile. I'll go back either T-Mobile or Verizon. SCAMMER! I BET US GOVERNMENT WILL FINE THEM AND MAKE THEM PAYING BACK TO CONSUMER ONE DAY. WE NEED TO SUE THEM.

    We have a family plan with 4 cell phones (iPhones) and truly have been satisfied with our service until now! Today one of our phones that we bought 15 months ago stopped working. I first went to Apple. They were no help because the phone is older than a year. They suggested that I visit AT&T which I did. At the AT&T store in Natick Mall (MA) the associate was helpful. He verified my account, provided me my options and suggested I go through my insurance. He proceeded to explain how to file the claim because he was unable to do it in the store. So I dialed 611 at 6:50 pm. After an hour on hold (first mistake) I speak to an associate who tells me I actually have no insurance but I can buy it for $15 and file a claim in 24 hours. He even reviews the plan with me. As I wait for a manager to help me proceed we get disconnected! I get no call back!

    So I start over (mistake #2). After another 45 min on hold I get another representative. He proceeds to tell me no I can not get insurance and I was misinformed AGAIN- oh so sorry your phone can’t be fixed and even though it is only 15 months old I will have to pay out the existing plan ($225) but don’t worry for only 10.00 more a month I can upgrade. The catch is I will have to add 15 more months to the existing plan! So I ask for a manager but never get to speak to one. After being on the phone for over 3 hours!!! I get nowhere.

    AT&T can’t help me. They do not stand behind the device they sold! I will have to buy a new phone and start over. Even though I did not damage my phone!!! The problem is an internal hardware malfunction! I wish there was a lemon law on phones. If only the software update that caused this was three months earlier! In the end I am disgusted by the fact that I wasted 3 hours of my life that I can’t get back with customer service reps that provided me with wrong info! And after all that time asking for a manager there was not one who had time to talk with me. I’m very disappointed with the lack of resolution and the unavailability of management.

    AT&T is a scam of the highest magnitude. I turned in my equipment and called to verify that it was received. Upon trying to get a phone from them I was told I never sent in the equipment & are trying to charge me $500 + dollars. When I called about I was lied to and treated rudely and disrespected. They have the balance in collections destroying my credit. When I was in the store attempting to get a phone, one of the employees said they did the same thing to her for $300. She said she just went ahead and paid it. I don't have that kind of money to throw away because AT&T aren't doing what they are supposed to do. She also said she has only seen one person to have their case won in their favor. And she was correct. They closed my claim stating they couldn't find the equipment. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH AT&T.

    The worst customer service among all the wireless service providers. I feel cheated being trapped as a new customer by offering deals without proper information and tied me for 30 months contract. I purchased AT&T wireless an online promotion to receive $700 discount with iPhone 8 trade-in. When I completed my trade in process which took more than a month, I was informed to upgrade my plan which would increase my monthly billing amount by 20$ per month for 30 months. I spoke to customer service multiple times before trade-in but no one informed that Unlimited plan is required for this promotion, until they received my trade-in device. Now either I upgrade my plan or pay full amount of device.

    AT&T accounting manager's response on this is that "initially we give full flexibility to our customers to choose what they want but we have a fine print at the bottom which states the terms and condition and it is customer's responsibility to read all terms and conditions before signing up not AT&T's customer reps". Their system will not stop you from choosing the options which are not eligible for the promotions. I find this very misleading and a setup to attract new customers. Please opt for any other providers whose service is much better and way cheaper than AT&T and customer service is more supportive and reliable.

    I signed with AT&T Wireless back on 8/26/2020, ever since I am being overcharged every month. I had to call every month to revise my bill. It's been 4 months now and they keep overcharging me. I will take it to Arbitration or small claims as I have all the documents and contract that support my claim. It is one of the worst experiences ever with this company. They are a complete scam. Every month they have a different false reason for overcharging my bill then they reverse it. I thought I covered all the corners before signing with them. But apparently not. They don't honor their own contract. I hope soon they will be exposed to the public how corrupt they are.

Salesperson sold all the promos just on chat, but I have not got any hard document from AT&T. I got emails saying in 5-7 days I will get return shipment boxes for trade-in device. It's been 2 weeks now and I have not got it yet.

I tried Sales & it got connected in 1 minute, after speaking to them to ask help as I am not able to connect to customer service, they transferred me to Customer Service, which does not connect.

    I have been an AT&T customer for over 6 years. Within the past year I have called customer service over 10 times waiting an hour plus each time to get someone on the phone. My first bad experience started when I ordered a Samsung watch. I received it in the mail, no issues there. Once I had the watch I couldn't get the number sync to work which no one could help me fix so I returned it, also closing the line I started for it. For three months following the return they continued to charge me for the extra line, which took me 2 to 3 phone calls to get it closed and credited to my account. Last month I upgraded my phone, after doing so I realized I had one more payment before my s10 was paid off so I returned the upgrade.

    Two weeks pass after the return and a $325 charge showed up on my account because I didn't send in my s10 after the upgrade. Now mind you I talked to customer service about the return, they sent me the return label. So once again I'm calling customer service, they told me the phone was received, the $325 charge would be removed and my bill would go down to $75 seeing as how my s10 was paid off. Another few weeks go by and I am still paying for the upgrade. I call AGAIN, the customer service agent said the phone wasn't received, he wrote in that it was lost in transit and he would have his supervisor approve this and again it would be fixed. Next bill and nothing changed, so I call again.

    This time the customer service rep said the phone was received and credited my account making my next bill $23 which did happen. After this my bill should be around $75 monthly and should change. I just received my last bill and it is $185, this will be the last time I call AT&T customer service. Absolute worst experience I have ever had with a company, their service is not worth the headache.

    3280 E Flamingo Rd. Las Vegas NV 89121. I came here today 12/5/2020 to turn my prepaid account into postpaid and purchase a new device. While I have received a stellar service from the staff, especially, William J. who helped me with my purpose of visit and whom was very patient, accommodating, and was very professional, I definitely did not appreciate the way I was mocked by this person with a longhair while going through the process of activating my new account who turned out to be the store GM.

    I work for Department of Homeland Security/TSA, and it is stated in our government issued credential that we are a Federal Emergency Responding Official. I was trying to see if I can use it to get a discount as they are offering them to Emergency Responders. This GM made an unnecessary statement in normal speaking volume in front of me, in front of his colleague, and within eves drops of other customers who were there that "TSA is not law enforcement, but they like to act that way," before walking away.

    I understand if you do not think I deserve any discount and I would be very happy to pay what is due since I am happy with the AT&T service, but I do not think it is necessary for him to mock my profession. If you have a bad experience with DHS/TSA it is within your right to feel upset and say anything negative, but not while you're on duty, your employees are looking up to you for example and I was not there and have nothing to do with it. Therefore; I do not deserve to be mocked in front of people.

    The GM would probably just get a slap in the hand and nothing at all, but at least it's here for people to see that I am a DHS federal government employee and this is how the GM at this store treated me. William J. should be the GM, he talks well, acts well, and treats customers like me with utmost respect and not that guy. This won't be the final place that I'll be sharing my experience with this AT&T store.

    AT&T customer for decades no longer willing to take their abuse. I was taken in by an iPhone upgrade offer - basically getting an Iphone 12 for $200 following trade in of Iphone X. I completed online order - didn't really take much notice of the absence of any further reference to trade in. I got the Iphone and nothing was included for the trade in. I waited a few weeks - contacted customer support, an hour or so later I was told a mail in package would come.

    It did, a reasonably few days later and, though disturbed at the relatively unsafe packaging - sent in my perfect condition Iphone X. Then I waited. And waited. Tracking info confirmed AT&T receipt but...nothing. So, again, another hour plus of sitting on hold and eventually a service rep spent an incredibly long time confirming that I am me, which didn't seem to help only to eventually be told, yup all was well and an email confirming followed - I asked for more detail - ooops - and was handed off to a supervisor who told me - nope they were not going to honor my trade in AND to make things really interesting they were going to keep my Iphone X. Where I come from, we call that theft. I'm going to wait a few more weeks, since they clearly can't find their behind without a guidebook, and see if a credit starts posting. When it doesn't, time to look for the class action suit or maybe start my own. Check in later for the update.

    I moved my four wireless lines to AT&T approximately a month ago. I was enticed to do so because I was told I would get $250 account credit per line ($1,000 total), and that my total bill would be $150 monthly plus taxes and fees. While waiting for my first bill, I noticed that AT&T had posted a $600 credit to my account rather than the $1,000 promised. I contacted the person at the local AT&T store that set up my account and he said he could not help me: I had to call AT&T.

    After waiting on hold for over an hour, I talked to a representative. After nearly an hour waiting while she researched the issue, she finally said she saw what the problem was and that she'd contact her supervisor to get approval to fix it. I asked for an email confirming that, and she said she couldn't do that but that she would "annotate my account" so that anyone looking at it would see the fix. I also told her that my name was misspelled on the account, which she said she would fix as well. Now, a week later, I go online and see that 1) I still only have $600 credit; 2) My name is still misspelled; and 3) My first bill is $280 rather than the $150 I was promised. I am currently on hold again with them (over an hour), and I'm going to hang up now and submit this complaint.

    I started with ATT this week with a new prepaid plan with the intention of switching to the online offer, the $300.00 a year plan. I went to my local ATT store to get the initial set up with your prepaid. That way the port from my old carrier was easier. Once I got that done and was up and running I called customer service to see how I go about switching to the yearly plan and was told that I can't make that switch and that it was only for new customer activations. It's funny too since in the store there is a sign that says they treat existing customers the same as new customers. Clearly, that isn't true, or is there actually a way to switch to the online only plan for an existing customer?

They cut the lines because they didn’t know how they laid them out. You would think ATT could buy a clue after the first time they goofed. Before that, both cellular and internet went out at the same time. TV is a joke. Who uses dish? I predict ATT will be out of business within 5 years.

    AT&T's so-called customer service is NONEXISTENT for Land Line customers. Everything has gone to wireless, leaving those of us without cell signal in our areas without any options for landline, especially if you're below federal poverty level. Our original first billing was only $6 and change with their 'LIFE LINE' offer, now discontinued our current billing is for $131.37!!! We had to cancel AT&T's DIRECTV, as the ever increasing monthly charges priced us out of it. When we were deceived into trying their WIRELESS offers of a SIGNAL BOOSTER, OUR LANDLINE NUMBER was 'ported' to WIRELESS WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE!

    Their signal booster didn't work, and we were left without ANY phone service for almost three months, until I finally went public with the help of a local TV news station help offer that got me in touch with the AT&T PRESIDENT on-line. It still took several weeks to get our landline restored, but then we started getting billing for all the so-called changes! In the meantime, as we had no phone any longer, my wife had to go to a neighbor to call 911 as I was having a major heart attack! I 'flat lined' on the AirEvac helicopter on the way to Tulsa Cardiac ICU. I was DOA when I got there, but the ER docs were able to revive me. Not long after that my wife had to be admitted to ICU with life threatening internal bleeding! We're both in our late 70's, I'm a VFW Navy Veteran, both on only SS retirement as our sole income, no life insurance nor savings due to previous divorces.

    AT&T used to send me emails for upcoming payments due, but since August 13 this year when our house was hit by lightening that destroyed my desktop PC leaving me without being able to make on-line payments as usual, all of our expenses have taken a drastic toll on our well being. I had to purchase a new desktop as my old Windows 7 OS as well as all of my data files were lost and unrecoverable, so most all email and contact info was no longer available. Not being able to contact AT&T Land Line Support caused me to miss the payment so now I'm being charged for late payments and payments made since then not being recorded on billings! Now that I'm in Parkinson's stage 4, my abilities to communicate have become all but useful. All I've ever expected from any business was to be treated fairly and honestly. AT&T, after nearly 40 years, has destroyed all of it!

    I have been an AT & T customer for years but lately particularly the past 3 or 4 years the customer service is horrible. They can't find your account by phone number or SSN, issues with a bill you have to talk to three or four people and still may not get it resolved. If charged an incorrect amount if you don't pay it they charge you a late fee, yet you can't get anyone on the phone to assist you with it, at least no one that understands what you are saying.

    Then when you do get someone on the phone they lie to you and tell you they have remedied the problem and that your account is updated, but you wait a day or two and you never see the bill updated, you call back and if you say you want to cancel the service, they send you to the "loyalty" department, you go through the whole rigmarole of explaining, they supposedly fix it so you don't leave and that doesn't happen either and you have to call back 2 or 3 times till you finally find someone that knows what they are doing and it might get fixed that time, then a few months later another issue, another round of calls to customer service, billing, loyalty etc., nothing solved and more frustration. Customer Service and service with ATT is not what it used to be, so I will be ending my long association with them. My advice go to local cable company for internet and TV and Verizon for phone service.

    I bought a new phone cause I was due for an upgrade for 2 years now. They offered a mid-range android for 5 bucks a month. They are charging me 15 a month instead. When I called to inquire, they stated I didn't meet the term for the deal and needed to upgrade my data plan. It said nothing about this when I bought it, or I wouldn't have bought it. They did the same thing to my wife, but hers was supposed to be free with her trade-in. This company is on par with Wells Fargo. Fraudulent billing practices. This is Trump's deregulation in action.

    Hours on the phone yesterday and today trying to switch to AT&T, paid the money to have everything connected, new phones, watches, etc. They were supposed to be here the next day, but never showed. When we called they then said they would have a supervisor call back. That never happened. When we called this evening, we were told the order was canceled but we weren’t refunded. But that he could reprocess everything and get us our phones. After two hours on the phone (just the call this evening) he told us that they would have to issue a refund which we wouldn’t get for days, but would have to pay again right now. And not only that, but the amount we’d have to pay was OVER DOUBLE what we paid yesterday for the same thing?

    When we asked why he wouldn’t answer straight. When we asked again, saying it didn’t make sense, he hung up and didn’t call back. AT&T used to have such awesome customer service. The only reason we left was because we didn’t have good service where we lived, I was so sad to leave AT&T back then. What happened??? Looks like their customer service is spiraling down the toilet and it’s their own employees hitting the flusher. At this point, I just hope we get our money back.

    I have companies that I have been doing business with for over 25 years because of their service. ATT will be permanently on my DO NOT CALL LIST. My issues with ATT include but are not limited to:

    1. Loss of phone, voice mail, and text message over several months access while traveling overseas. Could not send out pictures so loss effective use of camera once my storage filled up. Impacts included: failure to receive messages offering me an ongoing work contract; having to change travel plans to address the issues; time lost from vacation, increased costs as a result.

    2. Over 30 calls and dozens of hours lost in troubleshooting and trying to navigate across ATT siloed systems.

    3. Pushing blame elsewhere - Claiming issues related to local cell coverage when issues were consistent across countries in built up locations - issues proved not to be related to local cell providers.

    4. Agents who did not know capabilities of other departments for trouble-shooting or customer service.

    5. Told multiple times issues were resolved when they were not. ATT closed the cases with the issues still unresolved; including times when they did not tell me the cases were closed.

    6. Incorrect diagnosis, and troubleshooting multiple times on multiple issues.

    7. Different information from different agents on the same issues.

    8. Told - there is no number for that when I knew there was.

    9. In trying to resolve customer service issues, I was told on at least 4 occasions that a manager would call me back within 24 hours. No call back.

    10. ATT senior management cancelled 2 meetings I had scheduled with them.

    11. Failure to respond to multiple written letters requesting help that were sent to multiple locations after having verified the correct address several times with different agents.

    12. Failure to document troubleshooting steps, or customer service steps even after my requesting they do so. With the result that I had to reexplain and retrouble-shoot the same steps numerous times.

    13. More disconnected calls on transfer than I can recall.

    14. Failure to delegate authority to employees to help resolve issues rather than forcing customers to push to escalate and then have to chase down responses.

    15. Total loss of service to phone and VM on other occasions when I had interviews.

    One of their agents told me that ATT should replace my phone given the issues I have had. Nothing resulted from that. ATT did offer to give me $300 off a new iPhone if I purchased one. Clueless! This is no better than deals they are using to entice new customers and an insult in compensation terms for the time, aggravation and inconvenience. There is no way I would direct another time of business to ATT on any product, business or personal, even if I have to pay more to do business elsewhere.

    They don't care about US, the actual customers. All they care about is taking innocent peoples money, especially when most of the United States is struggling to pay their bills because of the Pandemic that does not seem like it is getting any better anytime soon. They format their bills to make it difficult for most people to read so they don't even realize that they are not even paying for the right plan. My phone bill has been close to $200 for the past 5 months and the rest of the time it was between $140 - $160 every month. I called AT&T today & according to them my bill is correct, NOT EVEN CLOSE. So I told them that I will be switching back to a pre-paid provider & all they can say is, "I'm sorry you feel that way."

    I asked the Manager himself, how would he like taking his hard earned money & just flushing it down the toilet because that is pretty much what I am doing & he said he wouldn't like it either. So how is it fair to spend our hard earned money & supposedly paying "just our" phone bill but .... They can't explain why it is always so high.... Truth be told, we are probably paying some of the employees phone bills as well. Not me, not anymore. Beware if you have service with them, make sure to check your bills often.

    First of all - I wish I could give them 0 STAR. Yes - that bad is the customer service. Summary:

    - Kind of Stole ~$100 from us.
    - My Friend who I wanted to add on line, still not added.
    - Customer Service is Really Bad.
    - Customer Service representative don't know their own plan and just read what they see on screen.

    - Service is very lengthy and (-5)/5 rating for the knowledge CS have about their own company.

    Here is my story if you want to hear details. I was on a shared plan as I am working from home in COVID paying 66$ for 2 lines. I wanted to add a friend who is using AT&T who was on prepaid. So in total I spend ~5 hrs. to add her on my line talking 4 - 5 different times with customer service and she is still not added.

    Day 1:

    -> I called, provided the general information, she spend 20+ minutes gathering all the details. I told her to add my friend to my account and make it 3 lines unlimited plan which will cost us 135$ for 3 lines or 45$ per person. Response we got can't add her as friend needs to do this in person. So I told her she will go tomorrow and you make the plan unlimited for all 3 of us starting the next billing cycle. Total ~1 hour call got ended.

    Day 2:

    -> Friend went to AT&T travelling an hr. and spending an hr. talking to AT&t in person. They transferred her from prepaid to postpaid to add her to my account.

    Day 3:

    -> Called Customer service to confirm if she switched us all 3 to unlimited plan as they said they will automatically do it. Talked 45+ mins repeating same process and in the end Customer Service cancelled the call on my face. Next Day my friend gets a bill of $120 and me a bill of $111 increase of $100 compared to our previous bill.

    Day 4:

    -> We called together to see what happened. Customer service told added two lines in one account to unlimited as we said and third account she needs to transfer and we can't do automatically. If that was the case they should have clearly told us that. But they didn't. Not a word about that. Digesting that we told now make the changes. Then she told it will take 2 months to transfer as the number just got transferred from prepaid to postpaid for my friend. Why on earth will you not tell your customer this beforehand so that he makes the decision accordingly. I asked her to talk to manager, representative, we had some heated discussion, my friend calmed me down and finally started conversation and then she said, "Sorry I apologize. I can see a transfer can be done and account can be added." I was just laughing on myself on what I got myself into. Still keeping calm I told her to do the transfer and she said okay doing it and I got the billing responsibility email, I accepted it and the agent said third line will be added in few hours. Few hrs. passed line didn't get added.

    Day 5:

    Called again to AT&T. Told them the situation. They started the process from scratch of gathering info and said might be some error and need to process this again. Again keeping calm I did go through this process. Now again this new agent said my friend needs to hold for 2 months before getting the transfer. Like really - Don't you guys have notes maintenance system -making your customer yell out their heart. We explained what happened a day back and then she called someone on line and then said, "Yes we can override for you." Now it was done. Then I said this agent, "Now my bill will be 135$ for 3 lines correct. Because for 2 lines unlimited it's 120 and if you get 3 lines it's 135 i.e 45 per months plus tax." She is like, "No - it's 55$. I have to see your line." I had to give her reference of their own site and explain how the billing system works for AT&T. Then she checked in system and said okay. Finally she did the transfer again and said check if its updated. It should be done. I did check it was showing up 2 lines and 3rd still not added. Then she said, may be wait 1-2 hrs. before it gets added and if you want any other help. And the call got abruptly connected. So I am hoping it is done now or it will be day 6 to my story.

    Possibly the worst experience I've had with a wireless carrier. My family switched over to AT&T in June 2020 and traded in our old phones for credit. The Sales Rep at the store completed the trade-in survey himself and stated as per the survey, both phones had a trade-in value of $60 each. I was told the trade-in values would be applied to my monthly statements in the form of installments and was instructed to give it a few billing cycles for it to kick in.

    About a week ago we received two letters in the mail from AT&T, both containing "AT&T Trade-in Promotional Cards." The letters stated that AT&T could not apply the credit to my monthly statements and as an alternative we were receiving two promotional cards valued at $60 each to be used to purchase wireless accessories from the AT&T store. Whatever....I placed two orders online for a bunch of accessories (I had to split the order in two because the cards could not be combined to make one large payment) of about $55 each. I received an order confirmation, then a shipment confirmation for one of the items in the first order. I then received two emails stating that the remaining items in both orders were placed on hold because the card information was inaccurate. Not possible, but I went in to double check. I re-input the card info which was correct the first time but still received an alert that the card info was not valid.

    On 10/19 I decided to call AT&T Customer Service and spoke a representative who had no idea how to troubleshoot the issue with the cards so she got another department on the line to help. The rep from the second department was just as lost so I was transferred to someone from the Rewards Department. That rep said his department did not handle those cards and provided me with the number for the Rebate & Rewards Department (apparently a separate department from just the Rewards Department) and assured me this was the last department I would have to speak with....BUT, advised me to reach out to the Loyalty Department if they were unable to offer any resolution.

    On 10/20 I dialed the number provided but that number was no longer in service. I had to call Customer Service back and ask to be transferred to the Rebate & Rewards Department and spoke with my 4th representative. She had less of an idea how to assist as she was also unfamiliar with how these cards worked. I was told to reach out to the Loyalty Department and was given the direct number to them. I called the number provided, busy signal before the call disconnected.

    I called a general AT&T number and reached a representative who confirmed the number I was given to the Loyalty Department was not listed as any of AT&T's customer service numbers but was UNABLE TO GIVE ME THE DIRECT NUMBER TO THE LOYALTY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE HE ONLY TRANSFERRED CALLS THROUGH A SWITCHBOARD. So, he transferred me to the Loyalty Department where I spoke with rep number 6 (I'm counting switchboard guy as number 5). She asked the same exact questions as the first 4 reps, "Are they Visa cards?" "Who mailed them to you?" "Did they come from an AT&T store?"

    After determining that the Loyalty Department was just as incompetent, she transferred me to a department that handles the Trade-in offers through AT&T. This poor guy had to feel all of my wrath. I was done but he appeared to be the only one who had any knowledge of what was going on. First, he explained he did not work FOR AT&T, but WITH AT&T. His company dealt with wireless carriers and their trade-in programs. According to number 7, one of the phones I traded in became damaged en route to the AT&T warehouse. Once they received it, AT&T determined that the value of that phone was no longer $60. It was now worth $30. Somehow, someway this resulted in AT&T's database generating these two "promotional cards" which were erroneously mailed out to me.

    The cards were never activated on AT&T's side, though I should have received some form of credit for $90, not the original $120 due to the damaged phone. The problem was the phone WAS NOT DAMAGED when I traded it in, its condition was well documented on the receipt I signed the day I traded it in. Thankfully, this guy was able to keep calm during my fit of rage and instructed me to call AT&T's Office of the President and inform AT&T that the damaged phone was not damaged when it was traded in, removing me of any responsibility for its condition when it arrived at the warehouse thus justifying my full $120 credit.

    AT&T would then have to open an inquiry, communicate with this guy's company to determine how the phone was damaged, then resolve the matter. Great, until I spent the entire morning trying to speak with a live person at the Office of the President. No matter what entry I pressed, I was either sent to a full message box or transferred back to the highly productive Customer Service Department. All this for a $120 credit which I have yet to be able to enjoy and the phones I traded in are sitting in some warehouse. AT&T essentially stole my phones.

    I switched from Verizon Wireless to AT&T wireless back in April after 12 years with Verizon. AT&T seemed to have cheaper plans that offered the same coverage that Verizon offered so I jumped ship. That’s when I began getting spotty service. People were complaining that they could not hear me (this never happened with Verizon) or my calls would drop altogether. I guess you get what you pay for???

    To make matters worse, they said bring your own device and receive $250.00 visa gift card. I assumed it would be automatically done but it wasn’t. So I called about the gift card in July. The rewards rep was processing the claim but he said he needed my order number for the SIM card. I didn’t have that readily available and had to call customer service for that info. He said he would notate the file so I wouldn’t have to explain when I called back. Well as you can guess, the file wasn’t notated, they claimed they don’t even have call history from me about this claim and that they cannot honor the reward because it was past 120 days. I asked to speak with a manager. The manager echoed the same thing, that it was nothing they could do.

    I was furious, not only would they not honor their promotion to get me to sign up, but no one told me there was a deadline or explained this policy to me. I immediately filed a complaint with the BBB and signed back up with Verizon that same night. And guess what? Verizon had a BYOD promotion as well, they sent links to process claim and my money is on the way. I appreciate how Verizon did not make me jump through hoops to get them to honor their commitment.

    After talking to a supervisor, they committed to waiving two of the six, as originally committed. They transferred me to the loyalty department, could not help me at all.

The entire time, the Uverse Internet was subpar at best nonetheless, I was too lazy to switch. Fast forward, I never used the TV because who watches cable nowadays when you could stream and streaming on subpar internet got annoying so I finally made the choice to cancel my services and just stream and get better internet to do so.

    I called AT&T to cancel my bundle and was assured it was cancelled and to go to the UPS store to mail back my equipment. I did so right away. Never was I told I’d have to cancel DirecTV separately yet all of a sudden I’m getting collection calls for a DirecTV account I never had. I called both AT& T and DirecTV both to resolve the issue. One hand doesn’t talk to the other so I was passed around for 3.5 hours only to be told that since they can’t see each other’s system a manager would need to call me back. No manager ever called but the calls to pay a bill for AFTER I was already cancelled remained with no one knowing how to help other than me paying a $175 bill that I never incurred.

When I called customer service with AT&T they weren't willing to reimburse me for my crappy coverage. In fact they were ready to help me find a new provider. (They don't need me. They have plenty of others they're snookering.) Don't be fooled, they'll take your money and you WILL NOT get what you paid for.

    Their customer service stinks! I talked to 8 representatives since Tuesday and each one told me something different. Our internet went out on Tuesday 8/11 due to a storm. They sent a router and I received it on Wednesday 8/12. I plugged it up and it didn’t work. They determined that the phone line was messed up. They scheduled a technician to come on 8/13. They did not show and did not call. I called and the earliest they had was 8/24 but she told me to call back in the morning to have priority changed to higher since no one showed up. I called the morning of 8/25 and she changed the priority but she told me I would receive a phone call by the end of the day. We did not receive a phone call.

    I did an online chat and a supervisor called me. He transferred me to another person who set up an appointment for today 8/15 between 2-4. Around 10 this morning we received a text that the technician was running late and would not make it so I called customer service back. He said it was showing pending and that a technician had not picked it up. He told me to call back at 3:30 if I had not heard from anyone. I called back and the last lady I talked to said that I need to wait until well after 4 to call because it was still in the time window. It is now after 4 and I am about fed up with this company. We have been with them for two years and they are about to lose a customer. This is getting ridiculous!

    Neither the company nor Mr. Stephenson, CEO of AT&T take care of their employees, much less their customers. AT&T is the worst company with one of the largest monopolies in the communication industry. As a teacher, reliable internet is a necessity in these times of distance learning due to COVID-19. I switched to AT&T on a promise to get a great teacher discount, but the run around apologies and lack of accountability is astounding when the internet failed to work correctly from the onset. After initial installation, internet reliability was intermittent, so a second technician was sent. The second technician made the problem worse and the internet failed to connect at all.

    I spent countless HOURS trying to get an answer and immediate service because teachers are in constant training and constant lesson planning and constant updating student lessons on online applications that without reliable internet connection, we cannot do our jobs. I had to drive to the AT&T store to get connected to the hotspot, which costs me extra money, so that I can get online access. I was still on hold going into 5 hours trying to get a manager to give me answers, so the AT&T guys at the store took pity and got me a "package" that would give me better services, but costs more. BUT the internet is still not working.

    The third time a technician was schedule to come the following day, who was scheduled to show between 4 pm and 8 pm, my ticket was not even picked up and after about four hours wait time, and a text message was sent that the technician would NOT make it by 8 pm! So they give me a next day appointment, yet again,for a technician to show between 10 am and 12 pm the following day. So I wait again, and I get a message that morning that the technician is on the way. The technician never arrives and I get a message that reads, "It looks like we missed your appointment. If you'd like to reschedule, reply CHANGE." I was told that the technician tried to reach out when he arrived, and the ticket generated on their end said they could not reach the wires, but my building is open and accessible from the street!! I am sitting in my living room with my phone next to me, and I get no call, no text that the technician is here

    I call and again to complain and "the only thing they can do" is reschedule for the next day because Kevin the technician will not answer his phone, nor Juan his manager. I asked for the floor manager, and after explaining the whole story again for what seems like the hundredth time, a floor manager, Angel, worked very hard to get a hold of a Field Manager who did not respond. Angel was able to reschedule me for "an appointment that just opened" for the same day evening. I am sitting here waiting, again waiting to get internet service so that I can do my job. Not only has this cost me to lose online training sessions, but also work and a lot of aggravation that has elevated my blood pressure.

    The way this multi-million company does business is atrocious! It is unacceptable, it is shameful that you make your employees powerless to handle crucial situations, and you do not deserve to have such an important hold on the consumers and employees. This is the worst company I've yet to come across in terms of service, wait time on the phone to get answers, and accountability. I thought that after years of switching from AT&T due to their poor service and services they would have improved, but that is definitely not the case. Perhaps this sole customer may not affect your multi-million profit, but if I do not get reliable service by tomorrow, kiss my rear end goodbye forever. I am greatly disappointed, extremely frustrated, and filled with lots more negative and penned up feelings about AT&T.

    I ordered a new phone from AT&T. It was shipped out timely, but lost in transit at a UPS distribution center. The UPS distribution center told me to contact the shipper - AT&T. From there, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with AT&T either on hold or talking to someone trying to get action taken. It was clear that the AT&T service reps were not even listening to me. I would explain the situation and the rep would come back and tell me they tracked the package and it was in a UPS distribution facility and would be delivered in a few days. It was a immensely time-consuming, unproductive use of time to try to resolve an issue that is ultimately between AT&T and their choice of shipper, UPS.

    During the 2 hours I spent on the phone with AT&T, I was transferred to 6 different people in 5 different departments...why AT&T doesn't appear to have protocol to deal with packages lost in transit is beyond me. What should be a simple issue to resolve turned into a finger-pointing, blame-placing ordeal. If AT&T truly cared about their customer experience, they would take ownership of resolving the issue with UPS and sending out a replacement order asap.

    I wish there were a zero star reveiw because AT&T deserves less then 1 star for the con game they tried to pull on me Friday. Both my wife and I need new phones and I've been a Verizon customer for way too many years but when you need new equipment now these carriers force you to switch carriers to be able to afford new phones, it's ridiculous. This review is 100% about AT&T Wireless; Friday I was on their web site and noticed a deal for Galzxy S20's for $10 each per month for new customers so I started the process with the live chat having video of the agent I was chatting with. Once we got in to specifics he wanted to call me so he did and it turned out, the $10 per phone deal was for unlimited data which is quite a bit more expensive then the 3g plan I needed so the Agent Celso P. found another deal for the 3g plan and the 2 phones were going to be $15 per month, no big deal. We were on the phone a long time and he wound up emailing me quotes that said what we agreed on but being on the phone so long I had to get off for a conference call so Celso said he would call me back, which around the time he said he did call me back.
    Well, we went through the details and I agreed to switch from Verizon and get the order for our new phones placed. He ran my credit, not a problem and he took my credit card for tax on the equipment, activation and auto pay and sent another more formal email with all of the details on what we talked about but here is where things took a turn that I am not happy with. I read through the details and nowhere on this order was anything relating to our conversation and what he presented and I accepted, nothing. He put me on hold for 10+ minutes and came back to ask me if he could call me back he needed to contact an internal department to figure out why the order wasn't what we talked about. Long story but 20 min later he calls me back to tell me the deal he presented wasn't available any longer it had expired the night prior at midnight but the ulimited plans he could do for $10 per phone but it was $60 more per month. I was livid, not only did he present a plan I was happy with they ran my credit showing an inquiry on my credit report and wasted over 2 hours total of my time. I asked to speak with a manager and Marissa gets on the phone to try to tell me they can't do anything about it. I called her on it and told her I would be writing a negative review and that it's just wrong that a deal her employee presented to me from his computer screen, is being pulled away and then they push a more expensive plan to try to get the sale closed. I was not having any of it. When I told her how wrong this was she paused and then said "let me talk to the loyalty department and higher ups to see what we can do for you. It's 4:30 pm now so Celso will call you on Monday with the outcome. Well, it's Monday at 4:30pm and I have not heard a word from these people and I emailed Celso and got no reponse what so ever. This was a classic Bait & Swicth which I believe is actually illegal so my next review will be with the BBB and then the FCC because they tried to rip off the wrong person.

    I switched onto ATT back in May from another provider in order to try out a new network and get a deal on new phones. I was told if we ordered two new phones online and transferred a phone line over that we would receive two $150 reward cards and a $250 reward card respectively. We had a lot of trouble over these orders and every time we tried to place it online it would cancel our order while processing. This happened multiple times over the course of 3 days to the point where Customer Service had to help us through an online order and even then it STILL ended up getting cancelled. After being so fed up we called ATT and had to work with them over the phone to get the order processed correctly.

    After that every month so far we have received bills that were grossly above our estimated bill. Every single month it was another long and drudging phone call to try and figure out another ** excuse for why we had to pay another fee or another charge. And on top of that, still no reward cards. Every person we spoke to simply said "It's processing and on that way" and that was it.

    Finally after another month of bill problems we were told to call the rewards department. I finally did that today and I have spent my entire day on the phone because of it. Because I needed ATT's own customer service help to work and process the order, in their system they classified it as a phone order and not an online order. Which meant that in their system we didn't even have rewards cards on the way in the first place despite what every other representative had told us up until this point.

    The insult added to it all is that due to the complete bureaucratic nonsense that is the ATT customer service department, the rewards department told me to try and call customer service for more help. I did and after hours of exchange, they told me to call the customer loyalty department to help get a resolution. And then they told me they couldn't help with that at all, and that the only department who had any authority to issue or resolve reward card issues was the rewards department. Which meant I went on a goose chase all day long with no resolution and no attempt in the slightest by ATT to undo the wrong that had been done to me. This isn't customer service, this is a customer patience gauntlet.

I upgraded my phone per ATT's advice and promo with only 2 months to go on my old phone. I was told I would get a credit of up to $100 for trading in my phone. So 6 months after getting confirmation that they have my old phone and it's in working order, I didn't trade my phone in correctly to get the credit. On top of trading my phone in when I wanted to, I was charged double that month for the installment payments. 1 for the new phone and 1 for the old phone in the same month. Our bill went up to $538 in one month from $209. We also upgraded plan, but still that is outrageous.

    After chatting several times with other reps, I was told (and I have the chats to prove it) that I would be getting that months over charges returned and a $60 credit for my trade in. Today 3 months later, still no such credit. I chatted again today SAME CRAPPY SERVICE. Telling me it's my fault for upgrading during a promotion. Even though I have the letter and email confirming my phone was returned and in good working order to get the credit I was promised. Nope they said again I did it wrong and I wasn't owed a credit. I hate this company and their over priced plans. Same crap they pull on the DirecTV side of service.

    These ATT wireless guys are crooks. I had recently moved into my new place and made an appt for att to come install my home phone, tv and internet. The tech did a great job and was on his way out when another guy came to the door. The att tech told me "It's okay, he is with Att" so thought nothing of it and let him in. He immediately started talking to us about cell phone service. We told him we were not looking for new service. We were happy with T-Mobile. That's when all the empty promises started.

    I told him we were paying $140 for 4 lines unlimited everything. He said they have 4 lines unlimited everything for $120. He actually wrote this down for me. And I still have the paper for proof. Also offered new phones (S20) for just $8 a month. Plus if we gave him 4 of our old phones we would each get a $200 Visa gift card. And we would not have to pay a activation fee since we were AAA members. And we had 2 weeks to cancel if we were not happy. All this was a great deal. So we decided to give a try. BIG mistake.

    2 days later my card was charged $35. Nobody knows what that charge was for. 7 days later I got another charge for $386. I messaged the att guy and told him no way. This is BS to come pick up these phones and bring our phones back. We are going back to T Mobile. He would not come up the phones. So I had no choice to take them to the att store which ended up costing me a restocking fee of $55 per phone. I would not have had to pay that if he would have picked up the phones.

    We never got our old phones back so we had to buy new ones. I have contacted att customer service several times complaining and it does no good. They do not back up their sales guys promises. They will not take off the activation fee, they will not take off the phone installment fee (even though I returned the phones) they will not pro rate the bill for 9 days, since that's all I had the service for. I told att customer service that this is a scam. You can't send guys to peoples house unwanted. And allow them to make whatever promises they want just to make a sale and not back up there promises.

    We were in the process of transferring our TV and internet services to DirecTV and had an appointment with a technician to come to our house. We were not in the market to switch cellular carriers! The salesperson, Zack ** with AT&T, just happened to come at the same time! We thought that was kind of strange at the time and now realize that it was not a coincidence and that it was a sales tactic, which is now very unwelcome! Zach presented a package deal if we would switch from Verizon which included new upgraded phones and that he would handle everything up to and including paying off the contract on the old phones.

    Paying off the old phones never happened as approximately a month later I received an outstanding bill stating I owed our previous carrier Verizon, over 2000.00 dollars to be paid immediately or it would be turned over to collections. At&t screwed me royally because of their salespeople and should ultimately be responsible for the promised payment to Verizon of over $2000.00. Numerous calls were made and hours of time spent trying to contact customer service to complain about the service and pay the bill to the previous carrier that was promised in the beginning. Every single time a contact was made after waiting 30 min to 1.5 hours each time, we were inevitably transferred to another department and again waiting to discover that it was again the wrong department!!!! Zero response!!!

    The sales guy that started this whole mess should be fired for lying to prospective customers. Because of this experience I will never use At&t again not only because of their dishonesty but because their service overall is inferior. Bottom line, we would never have transferred from Verizon to AT&T as we were very happy with Verizon. We only switched carriers due to the promises that Zach made. As soon as we can, we will be transferring back to Verizon as they are a far superior company and have a far superior product.

    In total I've paid about $2,000 or more to At&t in services and for samsung cell device with issues. The employees at at&t and fraud dept, corp office have been rude, disrespectful, yelled, screamed, talked over my voice telling me to shut up on the phone. Also the services are horrible, signal issues, cracking and audio issues, throttling of service, customer service and repair requests denied by at&t, and now at&t only wants communications through mail in writing but I never ever receive a response from office of the president of at&t. They refused to work with my attorney and PHRC on service issues and on a open discrimination case against at&t.

    At&t has refused to unlock the samsung device and refused to give unlock code, and has refused to waive $499 incorrect balance on defective device and has refused to terminate the service. My advice is stay away from this fraudulent scam harassment at&t company and my prayer is that consumers will file a class action lawsuit against at&t for discrimination, damages, fraudulent billing, identity theft, service issues, device issues, etc. Count me In the lawsuit and let me know please.

    I am an AT&T customer (Account # **). I started the service (Fiber Internet - fiber optic) which never worked a single day. I have been in contact with the service technician who installed my internet but I never got the internet fixed (intermittent service); until I fed up with the poor connection. I got the service cancelled (in less than a month). The customer service told me that I will charged contract penalty fee (150 Dollars). The customer service said he really can not do anything for me as it is a contract. This is really scam of AT&T where they hold your credit card and charge you for poor service by being their beta customer.

    I ordered a new phone online on Friday evening 5/8. I was. told it would arrive at my home Tuesday 5/12, it didn’t arrive. It wasn’t attempted to be delivered. I tracked it on FedEx and it told me it was requested by AT&T to be sent to Texas. No one that evening could tell me why. AT&T trains call center Employees to apologize, over and over, it’s overdone and lacks sincerity since they don’t solve just apologize and without asking gave me a $25 credit for my inconvenience. The phone was rescheduled for Friday 5/15, never came.

    Called a 3rd time to find out since the phone now shows shipped it was in the hands of FedEx to determine when I would get it. So I called FedEx and they said no, they are waiting for AT&T to reschedule. I then called AT&T to cancel my order. They had me on hold while they came back every 2 minutes for 40 minutes to apologize and tell me they were working on it just to tell me I need to talk to a “cancellation specialist” they transferred me.

    After being reconnected to someone else who couldn’t help me, I was told I needed to cancel it with FedEx. FedEx again said no, called back again to AT&T and was told since it was shipped I must wait for the Unscheduled delivery of my phone to arrive, then refuse it And the cancellation will then happen. I have over 3 hours of my time invested in resolving this situation, so obviously I’m very disappointed with AT&T.

    We had DirecTV for just under 11 years as well as internet services. Once the billing statements got to be too much to handle financially we cancelled. I tried to cancel immediately but was told I could not as I had already paid for the month. I called back and was told everything was taken care of and there was a 0 balance. That has been 6 months ago and probably 50 phone calls and countless wasted hours on the phone to only get a different answer each time. Long story short we have now been sent to collections and I will take legal action even though I only had to pay $160.

    I called AT&T in November 2019 to cancel my internet service, because of the high price. They transfer to the retention department and they offered me a free Galaxy S10 for each of my accounts to stay with them and move my wireless service from T-mobile to them. Huge mistake!! My first bill included the installment plan charge I called again several times and the answer was "oh you have to wait 3 months until they adjust your bill after that they will refund the money". 6 months passed and now they are telling me that they have no records of that promotion and I have to pay the phones (4 of them). Now I'm totally out of budget. Stuck with 30 months payments that I didn't sign up for. My ADVICE to you is... READ every single word on the terms and conditions and tell them to send you everything they promise in writing by email. So you'll have proof of it.

    The customer service is absolutely incompetent and as a result I am being penalized. My wife and I decided to transfer from Verizon and take advantage of the trade in promotion AT&T offered in February. The promotion was if we were to trade in our devices we would receive free phones from AT&T. The transition was initially seamless until it was time to turn in our phones. A tech arrived at our house and set us up on their network. I then asked if he would take the old phones where we trading and and he said he couldn’t and that I would need to call AT&T for those instructions.

    When I called the customer service representative said I should receive shipping labels in the mail. I waited a week and when nothing arrived I called back. I explained that the last rep I spoke so said that we should be receiving shipping labels. This rep then told me they should be on the way. I continued to follow up up and do my due diligence until I call back 32 days later from when I transferred providers and I was informed that the promotion period was over and I was past the 30 day deadline. She stated that since that period had passed I can no longer trade in my device and will be charged full price.

    This is not a good start to a new customer relationship and will forever advise anyone against AT&T. Terrible service who does not care about their customers. They simply cannot do their jobs and I now have to suffer the consequences. I have never had this problem with a company before. I am 27 years old, have a successful career, married with a 5 month old child and have 780 credit score. I do not make these mistakes. Do not use AT&T if you are considering it. Go with anyone else.

    Horrible Company!!! SO I upgraded my account due to At&t having a promotion buy one 11 Pro max iPhone get one iPhone 11 free and also added 2 lines to my contract so for that rep advised I will get another iphone8 free. So I then received only 2 devices the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 8 but missing the iPhone 11 pro max. So after a few days I called At&t to find what was the delay. Then I get that according to their records I never ordered it. Meanwhile that was the main reason of me upgrading my account and rep told me, "Oh in order to get the deal you will have to redo the order, pay taxes again and return the first order. So I am like, "Great. You guys screwed up but then I have to pay twice".

    So I agreed and paid for corrected order and the rep was specific that when the corrected order arrive to send back the original order so that the account match so it was just what I did. I sent both devices back on as the rep told me to do to find out until this day they have not received the devices and they have been returned since October 2019. I have proof receipts tracking information photos. I even contacted their 3rd party warehouse where supposedly they process the return devices and when I called the first time they advise me they received the devices and gave me a Newgistics website to track the information they provided me so I did and it shows that they processed and received the devices.

    Meanwhile every time I call At&t including OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT CUSTOMER CARE due to me filing for a dispute the rep there still not being helpful and basically told me, "Well we can't find the device so we have to charge you". SO UNPROFESSIONAL! How I did my job as a loyal customer for over 10 years and somehow am I being held accountable for devices that between the post office and At&t warehouse lost then they want to now charge me for it absolutely unbelievable and for those customers that are having issues I highly recommend to report At&t to the BBB and proceed with Legal actions.

    I've been dealing with an AT&T issue for well over a year now and their customer service is so terrible that I have no idea how they can legally operate this way. Basically (and this has been confirmed to me by the their Loyalty Department) an AT&T employee can offer you ANY promotion regardless of whether or not your account qualifies, and though you have been promised a certain rate, you will not be billed accordingly, and there's nothing you can do about it other than cancel your service.

    My boyfriend and I signed up for a family plan because we were promised "Free Internet for Life." It sounds too good to be true because it is! Though multiple employees at every level of the chain (retail store, customer service, loyalty department, mobility department) have promised me that this promotion is valid, I have continued to receive bills. Each time I call to try and rectify the issue, I am told a different story about my account. It literally makes me feel crazy.

    There is absolutely no consistency or communication between departments, and the customer suffers. Even when notes have been placed on my account by an employee promising me my promotion, the next person I speak with acknowledges that they see the notes, and that I've been promised this promotion, but that the offer "was never valid". Multiple employees have acknowledge the lack of training, understanding of promotions, and poor customer service, and even then I still don't get what I was promised.

    I have been an AT&T customer since 1998 and I have never been more dissatisfied with the service or lack thereof.. Last Sunday (4/4), I went online and placed orders for 2 iPhone 11 PROs. For some unknown reason the transactions were flagged as potential fraud and cancelled. On 4/8/20 I called AT&T customer service and tried to reorder. However, I was told I would have to purchase at a store and provide government ID to verify identity. I argued that this was impossible since all AT&T stores by me were closed. I requested to speak with a supervisor to sort out the problem. I finally was transferred to a representative that overrode the fraud hold and ordered one of the phones. However, the order was incorrect. I asked for a phone with 256 GB, she placed an order for 64 GB. I have called her back and left messages, but she has failed to return my call.

    I have spent all of today (4/9), trying to get the order cancelled. However, my efforts were to no avail because the order was being processed. Even though the phone was not yet shipped, the order could not be stopped! This is very unfortunate because if the warehouse had been contacted earlier in the day, the package with the wrong I Phone 11 Pro could have been intercepted. It was not scanned for shipment until 5:02 PM.

    I had been making phone calls since 10:00 AM. I work in logistics and the package could have been located and my order cancelled. The fact of the matter is, every AT&T representative I spoke with kept telling me what could not be done instead of looking for a solution. Very poor customer service. In conclusion, I am receiving the wrong phone through no fault of my own. Then I need to return it and wait until the return is processed to replace a phone that is no longer working properly. I probably will not be continuing service with AT&T. The effort on my part has been too exhausting.

He also didn't show me anything about the phone. I called the next day and talked to someone else and she told me to come back to the store and she would help me. I went in and she was very nice and helpful. I also talked to the manager of the store and made a complaint about my first experience. If I need anything I always call ahead and make sure that the woman who helped me is there. It seems that there is not a lot of good customer service at a lot of stores these days.

    I am writing to you today with complete dissatisfaction, I would like to tell you in detail about the poor experience I had with AT&T and how disgusted I am. Friday 04/03/2020 7:33am I placed an online order through your website for 3 new phones, new lines and porting 3 numbers from Verizon Wireless, 04/03/2020 7:49am I received an email from AT&T stating that there was an issue with my order and I needed to call in to resolve the issue. I immediately called 8:03am for 33 minutes to find out that you weren’t opened yet. So I waited until 9:18am Eastern time to call back again, was on hold to connect with someone for 26 minutes, I thought that was bad… That was nothing compared to what I have to tell you later on, but in the meantime I saw there was a chat option; unknowingly it was not even for AT&T but it was for Enjoy; the delivery service, which told me they don’t have my order and I have to talk to AT&T.

    So back to calling AT&T I go; 04/03/2020 10:12am, spent 1 hour 45 minutes on the phone and they told me “no everything is fine with your order and it will be shipped out tomorrow between 12-2” even though I told them that I received an email stating there was an issue, they rushed me off the phone and said everything was fine and that Enjoy now is to blame for that email and they are the reason for the hold up. For me to be on hold for that long just to rush me off the phone like I didn’t matter. 11:53am I called Enjoy, the hold time was only 7 minutes, thank goodness; I was then told I needed to call AT&T port department because they are now holding up the process.

    So what do I do? I call the porting department at 11:31am for 49 minutes now and they told me they have no records of my order and I need to now call Online Ordering Support. 4:55pm I called Online Ordering Support, could only stay on the phone for 37 minutes until I had to get off the phone in order to make a phone call for work. 5:40pm I spent 1 hour 32 minutes, spoke with Donna (**); she told me that there was something wrong with my online order and she needed to cancel it and place a new order. I said fine, but will that be a new credit inquiry? She said no, they’re going to use the existing one and I agreed to do so.

    We go through the whole ordering process, then she lets out a big sigh “We spent all this time doing this and now you have to give a $800 deposit!” She then asked if I previously had to and I said no. She said she’s going to have to call me back. 7:21pm she calls me back (24 minutes) and said because of the previous online order and now this one; the system thinks I am buying 6 phones and is making me put a deposit down for that reason, it needs 24 hours to clear, I will receive an email for the canceled online order and she will call me between 1:00pm and 2:00pm the next day (04/04/2020) and she also gave me her number and if she didn’t call me that I can call her. I agreed.

    04/04/2020 I checked my email, didn’t see cancellation email. I checked the status of that order online and it still states that it is existing. I waited until 1:13pm to call Donna, no answer and full voicemail. 1:16pm I spent 1 hour 46 minutes with a gentleman, explained what happened the day before and he said let’s put a new order in (which he didn’t even do right; wrong phone and he put in charges for activation fees). Again I asked if this will be a credit inquiry, he replied the same answer; no, they’re going to use the existing one, I agreed once again. We put in the order, he then tells me a whole different scenario then Donna: $900 deposit for 1 phone and I have to pay out right for the other 2. I then explain, again to him; Donna said she canceled the online order but did not, the system is thinking that I’m buying 6 phones (what Donna told me).

    He then said, he can’t do anything about it and he’s going to transfer me to someone to cancel that order and then he can force it through. I get transferred to a guy that tells me he doesn’t know why I’m talking to him, he only handles completed orders and sends them out to be delivered and I begged him to find someone that can help me and he said “if there’s nothing else I can help you out with, thank you” and hung up. 4:29pm I spent 55 minutes, but this one was the WORSE! She answered, I explained what happened and she said “oh no, Donna shouldn’t have told you that, that isn’t true, you have bad credit” and told me that each time I placed an order I put in a new credit inquiry.

    I’m at the point of so much frustration, I begged; a grown man begging for help! Please find someone that can just help me, then I begged, please just cancel that order because it was never canceled. She hung up on me. 6:44pm, 13 minutes while cooking dinner; I gave up. 7:45pm, 27 minutes during dinner; I gave up. There was another call in between that I spent over an hour on that I lost in my call log. All this while I was working on 04/04/2020. I spent more time on the phone that I finished working before getting a hold of someone to resolve this. 574. This is how many times I called Donna today on 04/04/2020: 1:13pm, 3:03pm, 3:14pm, 3:30pm, 3:48pm, 4:29pm, 5:10pm, 5:26pm, 6:16pm, 6:44pm, 6:58pm, 7:38pm. And she NEVER called me as promised.

    Total time I spent on the phone with AT&T: at minimum 574 minutes! That’s 9 hours and 56 minutes! And most of the time was waiting on the phone, when I got to speak to someone they rushed me off the phone so quick like I didn’t wait over an hour just to talk to them. Like my time isn’t valuable! The worse part is that no one cared, no one put in any effort to find out why this is happening and what or who can help me, they just rushed me off the phone, transferred me to someone else; that isn’t even the right department or person to talk to just for them to transfer me yet to another wrong department or person to talk to and they all have one thing in common; they blamed the person I talked to before them, like they were the hero! All the information I have is from me doing my own investigations. If this is you idea of a first impression you should be ashamed of yourself.

    After all that time I wasted, I still have no official orders in good standing, the only correct and existing order that’s still in is the one that I did! Which I can’t even get canceled and refunded, I have 3 credit inquiries. Nothing was resolved, nothing bettered my situation, I regret thinking of switching to AT&T and now I wasted time and money. But it’s still not over, I still have to spend hours and hours calling back in to cancel my first order to get my money back. I feel like I’m doing more work than AT&T employees. I am extremely frustrated and will share this feedback with all social media and forums.

    AT&T can defame Verizon Wireless all day by saying they are false advertising their coverage and speed, and they are more expensive, but never ever have they ever treated me the way AT&T has. You get what you pay for and if you treat your customers like this, I’d pay double what Verizon is charging me for their amazing customer service! Order # **.

    All I wanted was to get the $300 12 month prepaid plan on my BYOD and port in my current cell number. What I got was a sim card I couldn't activate online or by phone and hours trying to get a person on the line just to transfer me to another place to hold longer, which was beyond my patience. I then tried ordering a second sim card with the $50 prepaid plan, since I was never charged for the first anyways. I followed the instructions on the packaging to port my number, which was to call 611 from my activated phone and ask them to port.

    Everything was fine with this process until I spoke to someone on 611, which told me that, since the SIM was already activated under a new number, I couldn't port the old number. He said the only way to port my number now was to pay for a second activation, effectively getting double-charged. Since I just wanted my phone working, I accepted this and was finally able to get a sim activated with my transferred number. It seems to be working well now, so think the phone service works well once you get it, but getting it can be an awful process so I'm giving two stars overall.

    AT&T requested a review from me. I wrote one detailing this story and my review was not posted the first time, because I mentioned prices and that customer service was mentioned in the review. I removed the prices. I didn't remove mention of customer service because how can you POSSIBLY use this product without needing customer service?

Then because autopay wasnt working I got charged a late fee and my bill has been all over the place. Honestly I'm looking around at other providers and may switch after we pay off our phones. I'm tired of the runaround and constant screw ups in services.

    In January 2020 I overpaid my bill, by adding an extra 0 on the end of my payment paying roughly $2300 vs the $230 that I owed. I called on 1/17 and asked them to process a refund. I have since had to call multiple times at least 5-6 and I'm told a different story or policy each time. I've received 4 different confirmation numbers. I've been told multiple time frames to wait. First it was 5-7 days and it would be deposited in my account, then I was told to wait another 21 days, then on another call I was told that I would receive a check in the mail by 3/21. I had to call AGAIN on 3/27 and was told that my request was not processed, but they were just deducting from what I owed each month. So essentially, I feel that I was lied to each time I called.

    3/27 after demanding to talk to a supervisor the girl on the phone finally took my bank information and said they would process, and I should see the money in my account in 3-5 business days. On the 3rd day I checked my AT&T account. The credit had been reduced again due to the payment cycle. I called and was told the request wasn’t processed because they were waiting on additional information from me. They transferred me again to accounts payable where I was told they needed my bank account information. I told them I already provided that and she then told me it would take 10-14 days. No one there seems is know what their policy is. I asked at that point to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold. No one ever got back on the phone. I waited for 20 minutes and finally hung up.

    I would cancel services immediately, however getting someone out to my house during the COVID-19 crisis is making that difficult. At this point I firmly believe they have no intention of returning the overpayment and think it’s fine to let the money run out each month. The customer service has been appalling. At this point I'll be opening a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and trying to get a new service provider as soon as possible.

    Good service at a hefty cost makes me keep on going with AT&T since the past 18 years. I have never received a break during these long years if subscription with them, nor any incentive. Isn’t it time to pay back a faithful subscriber in some way - big or small. Thus would be deeply appreciated!

    Customer Service sucks. No one seems to be able to give you a answer as to who can give you a refund or a correction when you have a problem. Whenever I call to complain I have to talk to a minimum of at lesser three or four Agents including supervisors and they still aren’t capable of giving me a credit without filing a report escalating the complaint. I get so tired of calling in and explaining to 4 or 5 people the same issue over and over without a resolution!!!

    We scheduled for AT&T service and waited for a week for the appointment. In that time, they lacked common sense to find out that they would refuse us service because the previous owner had a delinquent account. Not even water or electric utilities do such a horrid thing. What does my service at my OWNED property have to do with someone else's account? Not a thing! They wasted my time from the time listening to the lies and half truths by their sales person, to the time wasted with the technician and customer service on the phone trying to figure out why they denied service. I was asked by the AT&T customer service "Do you have contact with the previous owners? Can you call them and ask them to pay and close their account?" ARE THEY CRAZY!? When did I become their accounts payable rep where my pay was to be granted service? TERRIBLE practices and one hand knows nothing that the other is doing. So ridiculous!

    My wife and I have been with AT&T since we first got iPhones back around 2008 or so. We are grandfathered in and we don't use much data, mostly talk and text. That being said, our bill has gone up in small increments once a year or so because they keep giving us more data that we don't want or need. We've checked around and it's still the lowest price for us both on a fixed income, so we stay with them.

    I like AT&T because of service is most everywhere in the USA and in Mexico as well and that's very important to me because I travel a lot between this two countries. I got friends that travel quite a bit to South America and also have AT&T as their carrier and they are happy they can always call home with no problem. The downside is that AT&T is quite a bit expensive than T-Mobile, Sprint & Verizon. I’m hoping that with technology as advance is nowadays there will be someone else besides AT&T to give the same broader service and be less expensive.

    Bait and switch, I was told monthly bills would be a certain price by two different reps and the monthly bill is $30 higher. Despite three attempts they did not set up my autopay which would have saved me $10 per bill. After 36 days of service I have received 3 bills. They told me the contract period was for 24 months when it is actually 30 months and their service is terrible. I have one bar.

    AT&T randomly added a phone to our account and started charging payments to the account through AT&T Next. We did not purchase or receive this phone, but AT&T insists that we did. AT&T may have been defrauded by someone claiming to be us, but clearly did not do proper account verification before giving them a phone. (No ID required, or verified shipping address, or down payment or anything.) By charging us payments which we did not agree to for a product which we did not purchase, AT&T is committing fraud. Their customer support refuses to do the right thing and remove the payments from our account. Terrible company.

    So I just ordered an AT&T service for my new home. I don't like Comcast because their service sucks so I switched over to at&t. Well, the salesperson said that my plan was going to be 80/month and he said that I can use my own equipment. He lied. With at&t you can not bring your own equipment so that means you are required to pay $10/mth a year with is $120.00 a year and you have to pay that every year for the entire time that you are with at&t. I do not like those unnecessary fees when you can purchase a router and modem for $120.00 that works better than theirs and I only pay the fee one time. I am in a contract for 1 year and I will make sure to pay my bill but I once I finish my contract I can promise I will not be back at at&t.

    The 2nd issue is he told me that my plan was going to cost 80.00 and I come to find out that the monthly plan for the internet is $60.00 and the tv is $40.00. I am pretty good at math and that is not $80.00. They have already charged me for the att tv and I was not even installed yet. I can't trust anyone from this company. I don't like the service at Comcast but I have never had a salesperson lie to me about the plan that I was buying. I guess I can say I am a comcast4life until another internet company comes to Florida!
