    I upgraded two lines and traded in our old phones. They only give you 30 days for the upgrades to be returned. Sounds like a long time, right?! No, it took almost three weeks to get the new phone and the shipping label for old one, which they counted AGAINST my 30 days. Then it took them over a week to process it AFTER THEY RECEIVED IT, which they also counted against my 30 days. So now they are charging me for both sets of phones. Stay away from them! They are no better than scam artists.

    I've had numerous issues with AT&T customer service as well as sales. You feel great when sales lies to you and then you feel like crap after you find out they lied. Then the service team cannot give you a straight answer. It's consistently poor and I spend 3-6 hours each time there is a problem because of misinformation and constantly being transferred.

    AT&T fabricate pricing. They tell you one thing and then switch it on you! I was told that getting my bandwidth larger would only cost 10 dollars more but they charged me 30 dollars more than that. They have done this to me a couple times. Bait and switch is their game. Then they put you on hold forever to see if they can help you. Make you wait then hang up on you. I’m contacting the Attorney General in Michigan. I’ve been told by a government agency that they get a lot of complaints.

    This was the WORST phone company ever. They are super expensive and the customer service sucks !! They have screwed me over so many times and I’m am done lining their pockets . The customer service people don’t speak English and they don’t know what they are doing . I paid off all my devices ($900) and my phone bill was still almost $200 a month . They always add extra charges and fees for no reason . What is a university charge ??! BS. You ask them to terminate a line , only to find out your are still paying the same bill months later . They are sneaky . Crooks . And I am so happy I am with Verizon now . How about that !!

    Fraudulent marketing. Website shows $39.99 monthly for AT&T fiber which comes in at 1000 Mbps but it is not available in Skokie residential area. That is why we are paying $50.00 for 3 Mbps but are actually receiving 0.3 Mbps. Terrible 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. After this I made a complaint with the BBB and the federal trade commission. I decided to go through the reviews and noticed there are 1000's of complaints of these guys doing this and nothing is being done about it. I am in the process of trying to get a class act lawsuit against them.

    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. Also, anyone we speak to about phones will have our recommendation to NOT use AT&T!

    I called the customer service and had to wait on hold over 15 minutes to talk to a representative about scammers who keep emailing me through my AT&T email account. I've blocked the last two email addresses that have sent me harassing emails (criminals pretending to be Amazon Prime and saying they need my credit card or Prime will be cancelled) and still got a THIRD email from same scammer today; again trying to get my credit card information. The AT&T representative told me she couldn't help me and had absolutely NO helpful information about what to do even though they are my internet provider. I asked for a manager and she tried to give me the brush off saying the manager wouldn't be able to help me either. I said I still wanted to talk to a manager and she put me on hold for over 10 to 15 minutes again and then the line went dead. I will be switching internet providers.

    Since Feb 2019, This At&t company has discriminated against me and caused me identity theft issues, and their customer service and corporate office in Texas has allowed criminals, thieves, hackers on my account to do fraudulent billing, unauthorized online changes to services without my knowledge or consent, forced me with threatening letters with false accusations of harassment to make overpayments on this fraudulent account, This scam fraud at&t company has refused to close the online account and continues to allow online scammers, hackers, criminals into my account and they have called at&t customer service impersonating me to make unauthorized changes and customer service allows it and the hackers, scammers, criminals have hacked the Samsung device, furthermore at&t has me paying $2,000 for a damaged refurbished samsung device that has a cracked LCD screen that was shipped to me with no warranty.

    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 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.

    If you ever need AT&T during this pandemic (COVID-19) DON'T EVER COUNT ON THEM. Their slogan might as well be “LICENSED TO STEAL”. After making arrangement with their office they decided to disconnect 6 business lines without any notice and basically shut down an entire business. Customer service is horrible, I’ve had many problems with them.. this is not the first time. I have been with this company for several years paying $500 a month and have never been late on any payments. How do you explain this? AT&T is all about money, they don’t care about you, especially during this difficult time when everyone is coming together to help one another. Do not recommend. This company is trash.

    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. Suing and winning against this corrupt company will give me way more satisfaction than just standing by and doing nothing. Beware DO NOT TRUST AT&T -IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH!!!!

    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. It looks like we are dealing with a tricky company that wants to steal money from you.

    Stupid and Worst network provider with frustrating customer support team. I ported from T-mobile in the month of October 2019 and bought an Iphone 11 pro max, till today didn't receive my promotional offer of $300 credit to my plan. I spent hours in customer care calls and hours with AT&T chat. No one is helping me with the promised promotional offer during the Port in. Such a stupid Network provider who cannot keep up his promotion too. I strongly recommend don't trust in AT&T promotional offers, it is such a shameless provider whose customer support team will end the chat whenever they cannot answer our questions further.

    I will ask all my friends, family members and colleagues who are AT&T customers to port out from AT&T network. AT&T is useless network, can't stand on their promotions. I suggest each and every one, never change your network to AT&T. They cannot provide minimum customer support, it is hell irritating thing to reach till the actual support team for an situation. No one will provide you completely and if you go to store they will ask to contact customer support and if we call customer support they will make us go to store.

    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. How a multibillionaire company try to steal from middle class customer and pretty much call you a liar over the phone when you have all of the proof that the devices were return.

    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. Literal Liars with Terrible customer service. STEAR CLEAR!!!

So, my son was made fun of by his friends who had Apple Iphones, bc he was unable to mms message with them, basically mms/iphone shamed.

Monthly charges, Surcharges & Fees, Government Taxes & Fees... AND, I did pay a ton of money taboot at the AT&T Store.

    I went back to the store and tried to get the phone disconected and the installment plan I was being charged for, these fees taken off, and of course they would not do it. I called in to AT&T customer service, many many many times thrughout the past year, since February, 2019! NOT one door of kindness has opened up. I have spoken to the MANAGER of the AT&T Store, no help. I have spoken to AT&T Call Center, Customer Loyalty Group Cancellations & Retention. JUST NOT NICE, NOT HELPFUL. NO COMPASSION, NO GRACE, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    I am so beside myself as I still am paying the phone down that was supposed to be my free phone! How disrespectful AT&T is. Now with COVID and my wife having to file for Disaster Unemployment with our State for the first time in her life, we are doing everything in our power to watch and save every penny. What a scam AT&T is running! Telling customers they are buying one phone and getting one free, and in reality, a customer is paying for BOTH PHONES! Such a scam, and AT&T lets this happen, and just does not care about the customer at all!

    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.

    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 # **.

    Plans keep changing and what was once available no longer is. Example: used to be able to add international for a set period of time; they will no longer manage to a date range. End up paying for more than I want or use. Customer Service is very spotty. Hard to get something resolved in a single call. Trying to cancel one phone was horrible - unbelievably it was super easy to add the phone with automatic payment out of my bank account (no proof of identity was required) but to cancel took an act of God. Ridiculous.

    For the most part, AT&T seems to have more coverage in all areas of the San Fernando Valley than Sprint and T-Mobile. I always compare the amount of Bars I get versus the people with the companies, listed above, and am proud to have service when others don’t.

    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? It IS part of the review, wether AT&T likes it or not. They still refuse to post it, so I'm posting it here and I put the prices back in.

    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.

    This is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with in my life. I decided to shop around for a new phone and considered leaving Verizon for a cheaper service. Well, you get what you pay for. I ordered my phone after they told me what my new bill and phone payment would be. I was so excited, until about 4 hours later when everything started going wrong. I noticed in an email they sent me the price was triple what they said I would be paying per month. After speaking with 3 different agents I decided it was best to cancel my plan before it even started. That took 48 hours for someone to be competent enough to carry out.

    As for the phone being shipped, not ONE agent was intelligent enough to understand how to cancel an order. They told me to call FedEx to cancel myself. I did, and they said I was unauthorized and that AT&T had to do it themselves. 4 days after the purchase of this phone I had yet to receive it or cancel it. They said to just accept the package when it comes and return it to a local corporate AT&T store. Spoke to 3 different agents to verify this information and all said the same thing, even provided me with stores that were in my area that would be able to process this return. Drove around for an hour to all the stores just to be told they can’t make the return for me and I had to ship it back!! My account was “too new” and the only way they could make that return is to open the phone and activate it. Which then they would HAVE TO charge me a restocking fee for opening the package!

    The manager at the Merrick location was an unhelpful jerk needless to say. Finally returned it and they’re still charging my account after all is said and done. This has been the longest most frustrating week of my life dealing with this company, speaking to so many unintelligible agents, one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing, all the transferred phone calls and indirect responses have been more than enough for me to write a review to save someone else from this headache. I don’t know how they are in business this long to be honest. Still dealing with this nightmare, praying it all ends soon after they receive the return.

    On March 17, 2020, I learned that my AT&T service was interrupted after I tried to make a telephone call. My auto-payment was successfully completed on March 16, 2020. When I contacted AT&T, after an extended wait time to speak with a representative, a representative eventually answered and informed me of an 89 cent (89¢) charge on my bill for an international call that I did not make. The representative did turn my phone back on and credited the 89 cents (89¢), but my service should not have been interrupted over 89 cents (89¢) during a Covid-19 pandemic.

    I informed the representative that it was completely IRRESPONSIBLE on the part of AT&T to interrupt a customer’s cell phone service during this Covid-19 pandemic over 89 cents (89¢). Especially, after companies are working with their customers due to the pandemic. At the very least, AT&T should have sent me a text message validating the call before taking such drastic measures and interrupting my service during this pandemic. Currently, my mother (a senior citizen) is here visiting me. Thankfully, we had no emergency where she needed to contact her doctor. Thankfully, my daughter, who is a flight attendant did not need to contact me for any reason.

    I then requested to speak with a supervisor and of course that did not happen. I was then told that I would receive a return telephone call from a supervisor and that DID NOT happen either. Bottom line DO NOT expect AT&T to offer its customers any extended assistance during a pandemic or crisis. They turned my cell phone service off over 89 cents (89¢) and did not think enough of me as a long-time customer to give me a credit for the inconvenience or give me a call back from a supervisor after I requested that the call be escalated. All I received was a completely scripted response from a customer service representative.

    I ordered a new device the iPhone 11 and iWatch. A rep walked me through the entire process. I gave them my personal info, credit info, as well as had to answer specific credit profile questions I would only know the answer to. I was approved for my products and they were to be on the way in 3-5 business days so I thought. Unfortunately I never received my products because AT&T did not explain to me that once they took all my information, all my credit information, and the funds for the order, that there was a "Back end verification". Following this back end verification, I knew nothing about, I received an email in the middle of the night stating that I had cancelled my order lol... But of course that was the furthest thing from the truth

    AT&T had cancelled my order due to the fact that their back end verification detected that I was attempting to send my products to an address that did not register on my credit profile. For the sake of all the scams that take place I understood the logic. However, when I reached out to the fraud department and spoke to a manager he began to explain to me my address issue. And that "If I said I was who I said I was" they would have not have cancelled the order. The question then became how was this manager able to speak to me on my behalf without even knowing who he was speaking to? In other words he was disseminating my information not even knowing if he was speaking to me or not, so his logic behind why I was cancelled even stumped him.

    Not only did I suffer an inquiry to my credit score, I was told I would be deemed only good enough to qualify for only prepaid services, My order was cancelled, then on top of that all the money came out of my account on Mar 13 and I still haven't received my refund when I was told 24-48 hours. It is still pending on my account as I wrote this review on the 18th of March.

    I would just like to warn ALL people who may be spending money with AT&T to be prepared to have your order cancelled if there is anything found on the back end of your account. You will be charged for your account that you will not receive products for, they will hold your funds for 72-96 hours before releasing them back to you after they say it will only take 24-48 hrs, they will hit your credit, then they will tell you on top of all of that you have won the grand prize of only qualifying for prepaid services for life without any way to prove otherwise. Basically all in all I felt criminalized by AT&T all over something that should have been a simple process of verification. Instead of being given that dignity, I was stripped away from that right by AT&T and do not recommend spending any minority dollars with them, as this is profiling at its best. But since there is no true definition of racially profiling, they will say it's not but we all know better.

    I was having DirecTV installed when two other men showed up. They introduced themselves as "Outside Sales" for ATT. I had just purchased an IPHONE from Verizon and was not happy with the phone, so the salesman promised the following:

    1. surrender the IPHONE
    2. change service to ATT
    3. change wife's phone to ATT
    4. Receive new Galaxy S10

    5. Receive $700 in gift cards to pay off old phone.

    That was in December. This is now March. So far I have received $200 on a promo card that forced me to use it to pay for my first terrible ATT bill. I called the rep who does not answer. I emailed him. He does not respond. His name is RICHARD.I got his boss's email. He does not respond. I went to the local ATT office. They say they don't know him, but I saw him in the back break room a week after we switched.

    I have called ATT who tells me I only have another $250 coming in the mail someday. Why? Because my wife's phone would not work out here on ATT service and I switched her back. I tried to call Richard about this before I switched but no answer. Essentially they have stolen a new IPHONE from me and set me up with a more expensive phone. $1600 total in phones and a lousy $200 promo card. I'm just sick about this. If I get a lawyer, it will cost me more than the gift cards and phone and they know that, so I am down the creek as they say. DON'T DO IT!

    Where do I start; I had AT&T for less than 6 months. My bill has been ridiculously HIGH. I have two cell phones and two wearable watches. One of the watches keeps losing data plan and when I call into technical support they keep changing the watch plan and charging me more and more money. I can't keep up with this bill so when it is time to pay I don't know how much my bill is. It goes from $200 to almost $400. Every month it is something different. I call in. They change my plan to find something cheaper, then they fix the wearable watch situation and guess what – I get charged for changing my plan in the middle of the monthly bill and I get charged for my watch plan making it 5 to 6 lines. I can't cancel because I am being charged $1000 of dollars for the phones and the service fees. I don't like AT&T. They are terrible.

    I am writing this review as AT&T charged me outrageously when I moved of ATT. I have 12 lines on my att account and we were with att for 10 years. We planned to migrate to Tmobile since we did not like the unlimited data plan. My billing cycle was ending on Jan 5th and on 4th we called att and asked that that we are planning port all our lines and couple of lines are on travel. They clearly told that it is okay. Even after your billing end your bill will be prorated so we have migrated all the lines on 7th and 2 lines on 10th of Jan and they gave bill of 480 $ for future months.

    With reference to that we gave a call and asked them what should we do. They got back saying, "Pay off your bill and you will receive the prorated check" and in Feb we received a check of 20$. which is outrageous and we called them again and now they are saying that we have to pay for the whole month even though you used only 3 days of service and only option that they provided was to dispute all the payments from credit card. And when we did they sent an letter in March that my account will be reported to collections. which is literally ripping you off of 480$ for not even using their service.

    My phone stopped working a week ago and I was told by AT&T it was broken and I needed an insurance claim to fix it. A new phone was sent to me and my latest bill reflects the charge. I later found out someone was able to access my AT&T service account and get my service switched on to their phone. They used this to open several credit card accounts that led to thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent purchases. It wasn't until I was notified by law enforcement that I realized what had happened. I then shipped the phone back to AT&T because I was told to do so since my phone wasn't actually broken and they are still not taking the new phone charge off my bill. I have spoken with at least 4 different reps today and nobody will assist me, in fact, I was suppose to get a call back 2 hours ago.

    After several years with AT&T, we moved one phone to another carrier and canceled the other phone in January. I received a bill for February. In an online chat with AT&T, I was told it was an error, there were no active phones on my account and to ignore the bill - it would be fixed in 45 days. I printed this entire communication in case it was needed in the future.

    I was again billed for March and for late charges for February. When I called, they said they had no notes in my file about my communication with them in early February and they had nothing saying the second line had ever been canceled, so the charges for February and March for the second line were valid. They were unable to receive my printed copy of the Chat from early February saying everything had been taken care of. In the end, the only way out of this was to pay the two months' service and late charge. The person with whom I spoke was not willing to make any concession or accept anything that wasn't already in my file. I can only hope that this doesn't repeat itself when it is time for the April bill to be issued. I have paid for 2 months' service that I did not want or need, and that I had already canceled.

    We are very disappointed in having to seek out other venues to ATT to get our situation solved promptly. We are a military family, from which we just arrived overseas to the UK on military orders. Months before moving we called & stopped in one of our att local branches to ask questions & be clear on how we could continue to stay with ATT overseas (since we have been happy with them) But after a conversation with a nice gentleman in California- it was financially impossible to continue service overseas.

    We made a few other phone calls to make sure we would do whatever we could in our power and in a timely manner (very important to us as we were leaving country & didn’t want issues upon landing in UK). ***we are told the process is fairly easy, we call or come in when we are ready to cancel service, before flying & that we would need to stop by to give them our official gov orders when we had received them (we were waiting a while for them) And pay off the remaining balance...sounded easy enough!

    ....Fast forward two months later (and a call here or there in between to ask further questions)... We make a final stop at a local ATT office in Michigan, to make sure we cancel & pay off our phones to be able to use in the UK (once landed and settled) But we find out that is not the case, we were given the incorrect info- we have to call/email another department in order to “start” the process of cancellation (time is of the essence here) So we ask What all our options are as to go about this since we will be flying and may need our phones for emergencies during flight and for our dog flying as well.

    ***he kindly explains we were given incorrect information but that we can activate a $10 a day pass for international use in case of emergencies until we arrive. And that the process would then be to; first, cancel (and would be fairly easy since he included our military orders in our notes so that that would be the first thing the designated department would see) secondly, unlock our three devices and that we would not have to pay the devices off since it is under the military clause.

    ———PERFECT...saving money and time! What’s not to love! (time is of the essence here...we leave the country in 4 days now)...Fast forward 10 days later.... We have arrived in the UK since two Sundays ago...and have yet to be able to reach a representative via email/live chat that can help us with the “fairly easy” process we were promised back in the states. We have sent several emails and copies to this third party handling our military orders and have no way to communicate with our phones since they cannot be unlocked without canceling, in our situation. For emergencies or work related events we are phone-less at the mercy of ATT. We are very unhappy, frustrated, upset that we were told SO many things but nothing has been done like we were originally told many times (& we asked, many times!).

    Unfortunately, we will not be coming back to ATT once we return from our deployment. And will continue to warn other military families of the inadequate customer service and military department of ATT (***which I don’t know why you would need a separate department to begin with- it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read and look over official government orders).

This guy, Scott **, from the Office of the president.. Oh gosh the man is useless. ATT is useless. I believe this company values and promotes and encourages crooks to harm law abiding citizens. How can you, in one phone call give thousands of dollars worth of service to someone without asking for any actual proof, now the real victim, the one who bothers to show some proof is being penalized.

    Very disappointing customer service. We have been loyal customers of ATT for the last 5 years. Initially we had a bundled service for wireless and the internet. We were offered a lifetime service of 70$ for the internet, when 1000gb was introduced for our area of residence. But after a couple of years ATT suddenly decided to separate our bills and we were charged 100$ for our internet. Despite our repeated calling we were refused and just pushed around to separate billing departments. It was frustrating to say the least that we had to spend more than 5 hours on multiple occasions to explain the bill!! Mind you we had not requested ATT to separate our bills. It was on their own whim and fancy and without informing the customer that this decision was taken.

    Finally we had to enroll ourselves in a new scheme to get a better deal for our internet, and we will have to keep on doing so every year!! Last month we were told that we will be receiving a discount of 20$ if we enroll in autopay plus the paperless billing. This would be reflected in the next bill- was the response from ATT customer representative. As expected it was not even mentioned on the bill and when we called we were told that it takes upto 6 weeks to be reflected. To be honest we are just done with Att. They have a lousy customer service and all that is done is pushed from one department to the other. Even if you have your facts right it is next to impossible to get a refund from att.

    In 2017 we had taken temporary sim for 4 months at 30$/month. This contract was supposed to end on 15th of November, so we went ahead and canceled the service well in advance. Inspite of our due diligence and disconnecting service at the right time we were were charged an additional amount of 30$. To this day we have not been refunded any amount. When we called customer we were directed to a supervisor and then another supervisor.... repeating our plight and situation again and again. Totally frustrated. We finally gave up after more than 4-5 hours in the phone. An angry and exhausted customer!!

    AT&T by far is the worst company for customer service. They called me a liar and would not credit the money they owed me.

We had purchased a new iPhone with an Otter Box so decided not to keep the insurance on that line. The rep in the store cancelled the insurance on the wrong line causing the Tier to go back to start. Now instead of paying $112 for a replacement I was charged the full amount of $225.

    When I saw the insurance cancelled on the incorrect line I immediately called and told the CSR that the insurance was cancelled by your employee but it was the incorrect line. I was assured it was corrected and the tier would be set to the proper amount. It never happened and after 18 months back and forth I have decided to get a new provider.

Unbelievable to me that they couldn't even acknowledge my presence, much less wanted to assist me. Since no help there, I called AT&T. I spoke to 3 people over 55 minutes, they all took my info, heard my concern, passed me on to someone else, as they could not give credit. After the third time of going in a circle, I hung up.

    I called in 2 more times in an effort to correct my billing. Nope. Nothing achieved. It appears that this company is nothing but a big machine that only cares about getting your money. I was shown that I am not important. I was shown that my satisfaction is not important. Seems to me that AT&T pleasing me as a customer is not important. What was conveyed to me was... You have a problem, so what, you are stuck with it. I vowed 20 years ago to never deal with AT&T as a result of how the company treated me as a customer back then.

Although if they stole 500 million then who really lost? I never got my money back and I’m betting a few million others didn’t either.

    Anyway I recently fell prey to their 99 dollar iPhone 7 deal with a prepaid unlimited plan for 45 dollars a month after autopay. Problem is they throttle my data all day long from about 7 am to 10pm at night making it virtually unusable. Most texts don’t go through and webpages will halfway load or not load at all. The tech support gives me the runaround about tower maintenance but this is a lie. I can make calls and have two bars. It is just my internet that is being throttled back to unusable levels. I’ve called at least a dozen times and it’s always the same spiel. After explaining my issues in great detail they still refuse to unlock my phone for another carrier. 170 bucks down the drain.

    Be aware of billing scams by AT&T!! When I started my cellular service with AT&T, their billing was for services going forward, which means that when you pay your bill, it is for services you will use in your next cycle and NOT for services you already used. It is easy to see because when you sign up, your first bill will be for two months of service. (To pay for your first month and to "pre-pay" your next month of service.) But when you disconnect, you will be told the opposite. You will be paying for the service you already used. Yeah, right. It means that AT&T has stolen from you one month's worth of payment, and there is nothing you will be able to do about it. After 11 years, they tell me that they can not go back that far, but when you ask what their current policy is, they will admit that you "pay before you play."

    I have been a customer with AT&T for 11 consecutive years, and I spent at least $25,000 for their "services." I finally switched to Verizon. I get much better service for 1/3 less. One month after I left AT&T, I received a "final bill." I called and complained, and after speaking to four incompetent "robots" that repeated over and over that, I owe money because the computer says so. The last person I spoke to agreed that AT&T billed me in error, and AT&T will send a small refund. I did receive the refund check, and several days later, I received a bill from a collection company. Now when I call AT&T, all I get is to talk to morons that continue to tell me that I no longer owe money because they have written my bill off, and I need to speak the bill collector. AT&T shame on YOU!

    I've been an AT&T customer for years and never had a bad experience until now. I wanted to add a line and device to my service for a son who lives in another state. I went online and was asked if I wanted a chat; since I didn't know where I needed to start, I opted to do that. I was assured this could be done and that my son would have his phone that day. During well over 3 hours of chats with two different agents, I was told my son could go to the store and pick up his phone. I have all of this in a printout of the chat.

    When he got to the store, they didn't know anything about it and told me to call 611, which I did. I was THEN told the phone would be shipped in two weeks, (on back order) and that AFTER the store received the phone, he could pick it up. The rep basically told me he couldn't do anything about the agent's written promises to the contrary. I canceled the order. The rep at the store, to his credit, told my son he had such a unit in stock and we were able to get the phone in my son's hands that day. Nevertheless, two agents online chat flat-out lied to me in an attempt to make a sale and then the 611 rep refused to back up their broken promises.

    I've been dealing with an issue with AT&T since October 2019. I have spent countless hours on the phone with different customer support persons. Most recently with a lady from retention named Barbara. I switched 4 lines from Verizon (who we had been with for 25 years) over to AT&T. We had an in-home expert (Roderick **). He told me and my husband that when we switched our lines over I would only need to pay my parents two lines off. He also said since I was trading in my phone, AT&T would pay the $650.75 balance that was owed on it. I even made sure to double check asking him “so if I pay my parents phones off do I have to do anything else?” Roderick responded with “nope, AT&T will take care of the rest”.

    The only reason for switching providers was because he told me my phone would be paid off. Why would I give my old iPhone to AT&T if I would still be responsible for the remaining balance on it? I could have sold the phone myself and made more. I didn’t want the hassle….So I gave my old phone to Roderick with the understanding that the $650.75 remaining would be paid off by AT&T. Unfortunately It never was and has since been in collections and affecting my parents’ credit score. I’d also like to mention that I received the wrong iPhone that I had upgraded to and had to wait weeks longer for Roderick to bring me the correct new phone. That is is when he left with my old phone. After many calls with customer support and many tickets opened, this issue is still ongoing.

    AT&T told me to track down Roderick myself and tell him that HE needed to handle this issue. When I finally tracked him down he informed me that he no longer works as an In-home expert and is working at an AT&T store. Because of this he is not able to access my account from that side. He told me to contact retention…. they told me they don’t do that… but to contact In-home experts… the number I got was incorrect so I spent another 2 hours re-explaining everything to Barbara. The very nice lady contacted In-home experts herself… to which they told her I needed to talk to Roderick because he is the only one that can fix this issue. Roderick tells me again that he cannot, and that the old phone has been processed….

    I asked for his boss's contact info, but he said his old boss has since changed locations….so that leads me to Jillian. Barbara had submitted a new ticket (I.C.U) for me and informed me that it would be at least a week until someone gets back to me.... heard that before.... weeks later and still no one has contacted me. Until this is resolved it continues to affect my parents’ credit… something I’m sure AT&T won’t be fixing. However after talking with Jillian she told me "it has been notated that instructions were given to the customer to upload the final bill via the $700 switcher flyer in order to qualify for the credit" which he never informed me about. Nowhere on any document does it state that I needed to contact an in home switch program.

    I contacted customer support again and they informed me that the $700 switcher program ended in June.... So how did I get this "offer" that I wasn't told about in October??? I asked for my phone back and they told me it is now AT&T Property.... So I'm left with the $650.75 bill. I will be switching all 4 of my lines back to Verizon. I also will be canceling my cable and internet that is also with AT&T as well as my parents. Way to cost yourself a ton of money and loyal customers...

    I had been a CellularOne/ATT customer for almost 25 years and have never been treated so horribly. I was traveling for work, having coverage issues to the point I had to pull over to make a customer service call. After I was able too speak to a live att person, I was told there would be a $5 charge for me to make a payment over the phone. I asked for a courtesy payment waiver and was told no.

    When I got home I decided to cancel one of my lines, and have it ported to another company. I then called 4 days later and asked about having my bill prorated for the number I canceled and was told they would not prorate that line. I asked where I could see that in writing, and got passed on to customer retention. I asked the customer retention rep about getting the bill prorated for the canceled line, and was told the same thing, "We do not prorate canceled lines." I asked for it in writing and did not get anywhere with them. After that, I requested that they place a cancellation on my other line at the end of this billing period. I hope they are happy they have lost a long term customer from all services, including 2 lines of service, 4G LTE in my vehicle, and DirecTV.

    I tried AT&T at least 3 times over several years, primarily because I was told that they provided the best service in the area. Each time the results were the same: no coverage/service in the house or with-in a mile. "Customer Support" would default to insisting that I purchase a new telephone, an "upgrade" which would cost considerably more than the telephone that I'd already purchased. The first time I followed the "recommendation" losing my initial investment because AT&T wouldn't accept a return of the "old" phone (purchased only 2 weeks prior).

    On the second such experience, again, with-in 7 days of purchase, the sales person accepted the return of the phone, deducted $35 "re-stocking fee" on my refund & then removed the "SIM" card & handed it back. There was $50 in "pre-paid" fees on the card but I was told that was no-refundable & that I could simply use it "when you buy another AT&T phone". The third experience was an absolute assurance from AT&T that I would have "very strong service" in my area. I spoke with 3 "Service Representatives" prior to purchasing service. Again, no service in my home, nor for about a mile surrounding. I resorted to WiFi service which the AT&T phone would not access. Apparently they blocked such service with-out an active "SIM" & account. I used an old "Verizon" phone instead with no trouble.

    Once the AT&T account had closed, since I'd stopped paying, I was inundated with unwanted e-mails asking me to "return", with all sorts of "special" offers. I had to "block" AT&T from my e-mail account to stop the annoyance. So no, at any price, for no service, for untruths, misrepresentation, I would not recommend AT&T for mobile telephone service.

When my two year contract was up AT&T deactivated my line without notice or a late bill, still charged me for service, and assigned my number to somebody else. I now have to use my new number to make a text list to my numerous contacts over the last almost two decades and let them know my number has changed.

    I got onto a new plan with my new spouse and she also switched from AT&T. AT&T had charged her full price for her phone payment for over four years when the phone was only supposed to be paid over the two year contract. Essentially, AT&T had my wife pay for a phone twice. No refund or credit was offered when a Best Buy mobile associate discovered this.

    I know "all carriers are the same", and they all have bad reviews, but I rode with Verizon for a decade and a half and never had anything like this happen. Verizon called ME when my two year contract was up and let me know they could save me half on my phone bill. I went without a contract with them for close to five years, and since I was young I had a few months where I was late paying. They only once deactivated my line, and when I went to reactivate they waived the reactivation fee and gave me a credit on my account for the two weeks where I could not use their service. Do not do business with AT&T. Just because all of them are bad companies, doesn't mean that one isn't the worst. AT&T is the worst.

    A prepaid phone from AT&T gives me enough talk and text to meet my needs plus 4 th of internet. I downloaded my favorite apps including several free games. The phone is reliable and the cost not too bad though I may look around for a better bargain at some time. There wasn't a lot of choice in plans without a contract.

    I advise people to stay away from AT&T. After being a loyal customer for 10 years they charged me a roaming data while I was on the cruise which I not even used it and they can't even waived it. I'm very disappointed in how they treat customers. They do whatever it takes to get your money and they don't care how loyal you are to them.

    There is NOTHING good about AT&T! I repeat NOTHING! I have had them from cell service to internet and they are TRASH! If you can use ANYONE else DO IT! This company is the epitome of how a company shouldn't be allowed to be!

    Whenever a holiday comes, it seems I have no service. I think they prioritize contract customer and leave us prepaid by the wayside. The service and data is not that good at all. Why poo you can be in the middle of a city and not find a single wifi spot.

    Not bad. I can pay bill from my cell phone. Reminders are a good thing. Texting is also a plus factor. Have been with them for and I have not had any problems with them for billing. And that is a God sent.

    A one year prepaid card costs about $100, but the minutes carry over only if you extend your service at the expiration of the card. If you don't extend your service by buying another card you lose any unused minutes. After a few years, if you use the phone only for travel or emergencies you could lose several hundreds of dollars of minutes if you don't buy another card.

    Updated review: Feb. 17, 2020

    This is to update my review of AT&T Wireless on 2/7/20. My next bill was finally corrected from $112 to $75 for the second billing period. I may or may not stay with AT&T. I'll make final decision after I get my phone unlocked in March.

    Original Review: Feb. 7, 2020

    I bought a new phone at Best Buy in January. The sales rep signed me up with AT&T wireless at a rate of $65 per month after the first month and activation fee. My first bill was $130 after fees and taxes for a billing period of 3 days. I thought this would be a one time thing and paid it. My second month's bill is now $112. I've spoken with customer service on three separate occasions and have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. On my first call I was told if I opted for paperless billing and auto-pay my bill would be lowered to the agreed upon $65 per month. I was already on auto-pay, so I also opted for paperless billing. My bill amount never changed--still $112/month. Now I'm attempting to have my phone unlocked so I can switch carriers, but I'm told there is a 60 day wait to unlock. At the time of purchase I was told that if I wasn't satisfied after the first 30 days I could unlock phone and go somewhere else.

    So, nothing I was promised about AT&T wireless has been upheld or accurate. I'm now left with no other recourse but to finish waiting out the rest of the 60 days, pay what they charge me, and then unlock phone and go with another carrier, most likely **. So, buyer beware of AT&T $65/month unlimited deal. The only thing unlimited is how high your bill may turn out to be.
