AT&T Complaints Continued... (Page 11)

On Dec 2, 2011 I received a phone call around 4:45pm at my job from an AT&T technician stating that he was calling to confirm a work order to move our internet and phone service to the office next door to ours. I told him that I was not aware that we were moving our service, so I had him to contact the business owner about this. The owner told the technician that we were not moving our service. This was on a Friday. The next week by Tuesday we found that we did not have internet service. Coincidentally we were also having computer problems and our computer was being serviced, so that is why we did not find out until Tues.

The business owner called AT&T. After waiting (forever)to speak to a human, he explained what had happened. He was given the runaround, put on hold and told that they would fix the problem. The next day, same thing. This went on every other day, being told they would fix the problem and nothing.

Finally on Dec 16, 2011 the technician who had called originally on Dec 2 finally showed up at 4:50 pm (Friday) and stated that he could not do anything because he had to have the phone room unlocked. (Did he mention this when he spoke with the owner earlier? No.) On this day we also lost phone service. This tech was at a loss as to what the problems might be. He said he would return Mon himself so that he could fix the problem. Result. No tech. Three of us from our office called AT&T and got nowhere. Just more runaround, put on hold, and promises to come "tomorrow".

So our business has been without service since Dec 2, AT&T says their records show that we have service. I guess we must if their records show it. Never mind the fact that we can not use internet or phone. What does it take to get through to these people? We have not been able to conduct business and losing money because these people just keep giving us the runaround. We are in the process now of switching to a different company for internet and phone, but that is still going to take another 5 to 7 days.

I cancelled my business line in July 2012. I am still receiving a phone bill for service although I haven't been with them since July.After numerous phone calls , I was assured they would finish putting through the cancellation. As of today, Oct 25th, 2012, I am still receiving bills for a phone service that I dont have anymore with at&t.I have spent much time and hours on the phone trying to clear this matter up.What does it take to get a supervisor to correct this problem?

I purchased the bundle package over the phone. The technician installed it and was more complicated to operate than described originaly. Then I canceled the order and wanted to return to the previous package I had with them. Since then I have been without televison since November 16th and without telephone since yesterday. There is a total disregard for the affect it has on me. I am 91 years old and live alone and must have a telephone for emergencies. I can get no answer as to when service will be restored.

To whom it may concern,

Hello, my name is Krishna, and I have been your customer for quite a few years. I am do frustrated with this issue that is not getting resolved. I have spoken to many customer representatives yet not getting any where. About a month and a half back I had called to inquire on billing issues and I also dropped a question on paperless billing since the recording kept advertising while I was on hold. I had no intention of going paperless but asked can a person have access to all the bills for all 12 months of the year? Her respond was "six months". So that was the end of it because I like to keep my bills for a year, just incase if I might need it. I must tell you she was very helpful, she even helped me to with the plan, we had increased minutes since my husband kept going over the limit. Next day I followed my instincts and called back to make sure there were no changes except the plan that I had chosen. This time it was a guy, he texted me four digit code and made me repeat to it to ensure the security. After that I stopped receiving bills, not to mention my bill was so high, yet I paid it and he informed me that I had gone paperless thus I explained it him and told him that I never gave permission. He promised me that he changed it back and he would mail me the bill. I was told it would take 5-7 days to receive it and would not charge for it. Since than I have called informing that I still have not received the bill. Tonight I finally spoke to a supervisor, Rocky Trevino id # RT391D. I also taped the conversation, which he was informed about it. I told him my dilemma with not receiving bills. He said he would open up a case to investigate why I am not receiving bills. He said "I should set up an payment arrangement to keep it from getting my service disrupted". This is very disturbing, my account has always been current, my due date(per rocky) is the 25th of December. I still have not received my bill and he wants me to pay it? If not then the service would be disconnected? I am sure there are better, efficient ways to help customers. In seven years I have had three experiences of bad customer service. So to say, majority of time, they have been very professional and helpful. At this point, I am litteraly feeling being conned and taken advantage of .
A person must look at customers's history and know and show how valuable the customers are with resolving one's problems and concerns properly.
I would like to get this resolved ASAP, today is the dec 20,12 and my bill is due on the 25th yet not bill to review. So please guide respond to my email or call at (570)656-1083. I do not want to take legal action unless I am left with no choice. Ido not believe in law suites, however I will if this is not resolved promptly in an efficient manner. Thank you and have a Happy Christmas.
Sincerely,

Krishna makadia

When AT&T took over US Cellular in 2006, I woke up in the morning and my service had been switched. This was done without me signing any contracts with you or any notice. Then, you stated that I would have a "similar" plan with you like I held with Us Cellular...that was a lie. Believing and trusting AT&T, I kept your service.

When I got my bill, I flipped! My 3,000 + minutes were chiseled down to 300 minutes, of course I went over the limit without knowing it. When I called you, each person was very rude. I changed to Verizon and am still with them.

For seven years I have been continuously harassed, while I was a single mother and now retired, taking care of my 89 and 88 year parents. The people you have ruthlessly and wrongly turned my information over to, have to this day, called me as many as 7 times in a row almost every day.

I need my phone line open for emergencies. Yes, I could have been bullied into paying the bill, but you committed the deception thus making it "really the principal" of the thing.

I would appreciate you taking care of your responsibility of placing me in this situation. If not, since I am retired, I do have the time to go to a lawyer. I still have the paper work for this.

Sincerely,

Sharon E. Johnson

I signed up for paperless billing and never received information on the $10 reward that i should have received. I called customer service to check on it and it turned into a 42 minute call with 8 transfers to different departments. How difficult is it to let your customer know that their $10 reward card will be send or credit to their account will be applied. This was a waste of my time and energy, i am so disappointed with the way ATT&T handle their complaints. No where on their web site does it offer you to send a complaint in, better yet just to talk to a customer service rep is almost impossible. It took me 5 minutes and several clicks before i could even find the number. I have been with AT&T for 10 years and expect more from them. Customer service is obviously not a priority!

I was out of town and returned to find my ATT modem and internet account not working. Called into ATT and they told me I needed a new modem. I purchased an ATT compatible modem from Radio Shack for $109.36. I tried to install it to no avail so called into ATT. An agent tried to helpe me install it and finally told me to get an agent with more expertise I would have to pay $50 and $15 per month to get support for it. I then went to ATT store and bought an ATT modem. I tried to install alone but called in and an agent helped me get it installed and onto the internet. I tried to log on again and was not successful but a not to contact ATT came up. I could not call them until 7 AM the next day (today) and an agent said there was a block on my account - that dept did not open until 8 AM. I was finally told my account was past due but I had paid $77.14 on 10/;5/12 at but they had no record. I paid another $77.14 today to get it back on. when I got on the internet to pay my cell phone and other bills I found that I paid $77.21 on the 15th also.....ATT HAD CREDITED IT TO MY CELL PHONE BILL OF $154.35!!! I had spoken to a chick in the Phillapines the second time. My cell phone is not due until the 23rd!!!!! I spent over 8 hours because of ATTs error and received no compensation or apology. Why do we put up with such treatment?

I called to get my e-mail unlocked...after several persons explaining I was sent a few text numbers, could not get any to work. I was told to go to the ATT store and they would unlock it....take a couple of ID's. I did that and the young lady who waited on us tried but could not unlock it either.....I am being mailed an ID...this is crazy since you have the account and more. I have tried 3 ID's and the security questions and all are wrong ....I am upset as it has been several days and now I have to wait longer for the mail....if this does not fix the problem we will be looking into another service....
We are here 5 months and every time we come back to our home I have some kind of problem with ATT. We are bundled and I see no reason for this.
I have been text questions for service and called. That is not necessary,just fix the problem. Don't call or text.
Thank you for your time.
Sondra Wolfe
P.S. If not for the young lady in the ATT store service would be changed as of today....she was very kind...and said she would help when I got the mail ID if I needed her.

My U-verse went out on Dec 23rd 2012, called AT&T tech support on 26th, and had been told that they were not able to figure out the problem. Called again on 31st request ATT either fix it or terminate the service, phone got cut off after 20 min communicated with customer service. I called again and was told they would try to fix it but didn't get the U-verse service to work till this day. Jan. 5th, 2013

I called ATT advanced tech support because I thought I was having a Virus problem, and said I should purchase the Advance Tech for $15.00 per month in order for them to help me, I spent over 4 hours with them entering my laptop and cleaning it which I didn't request. When they were through the Virus problem was cleared up, I thought, but my computer was really messed up, fonts were a mess, and numerous items I had such as Bookmarks, Mail, were gone. But the messed up fonts were the worst problem, it felt like it had fraud written all over it. I called them back and spent another hour trying to make some corrections, but they were unable to do anything.

After talking with them being convinced I needed the Advance Tech support contract, etc. I found I needed only to do a restore and when I did everyting was fine. I am now considering dropping ATT, for Cell phone, Internet Service, and land line. If I have to pay $150 to cancel the Advance Tech contract, I will have to do it, but these Techs are not ever going into my computer again. They totally messed it up and I had to fix the problems I had myself, they did nothing but mess up everything. I have been with ATT for ages, but they will not screw up my computer again! This is a total advanced tech support scam!

I'am filing this complaint due to AT&T Being either unreliable and completely inept as to the problems of replacing a phone i purchased through their company , i had a palm phone which i was trying to get the product replaced and have been met with a stone door as to doing so , now my phone is completely dead and i'm looking at spending extra money to get another phone when the product was clearly a faulty hand set and when trying to get help in dealing with it nobody could help let alone customer service or even the store branch where it was purchased , now i have no phone and very little money to do this and should i do so it will take awy from my family holiday season ...

Thank You , Sincerely Andrea C. Reynolds

Just wanted to let you know an issue that was going on for 3 month with your company and about your employees who not helped me resolve an issue with. Every time I call and they listen to my problems and promised me everything will be done and no calls backs from each of the previous people who promised to help me and call me back the next day,ather from the mangers and supervises.
I had to windup calling back myself each time with hours of holding on and never getting my situation resolved.
. I spent a total of approx. 100 hours on the telephone in 3 month with promises that were not kept... People always call to complain about service but I must write to tell you that I’m went to the hospital twice because the way of AT&T doesn’t care about the customers
. If you would like to contact me with regard to this whole experience please feel free to contact me. at 848-565-5527
Sincerely,

For being a telecommunicatikons company, AT&T has one of the worst customer service departments I have ever dealt with. First one must hold on the phone for a good 20 minutes before reaching someone to speak with, then it is usually the wrong person or someone who lacks any sensible knowledge of the guestion being asked. When a person finally reaches the right department it takes a good hour to get any order changed. I recently attempted to upgrade my cell phone service. In ther process I discoverred that after being a customer of A T & T Uverse and Wireless Phones, the
wireless phone department showed me living somewhere in Shaumburg and the next time I called I was living In Independence Ohio. I life in Lisle, Illinois. The first time it took over an hour to do the necessary paper work to upgrade my phones to the I phones. Upon completion, I was told I would receive the phones the fallowing day, One week later after I did not receive the phones I phoned again and again waited endlessly to get throujh. When I finally recached the correct person I was told that I was supposed to go to my e-mail to accept the terms. No one told me that on my first call and I don't look at my e-mails regularly. After we finally get that straigtened out I asked the individual how I could make a complaint about the service. She told me I had to go to an AT &T store in Independence, OHio to file the complaint. I told here that made no sense because I lived in Lisle Illinois. She checked your records and they showed I lived in Ohio, I again worked with her to get everything corrected. I then went to an AT & T store to file a complaint and they had no idea what they were supposed to do. They callled AT & T customer service only to get the same run around for about an hour with nothing to show for it. I then fround this on line.

IF AT&T DOES NOT GET YOUR TELECPHONE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENTS IN ORDER YOU ARE GOING TO LOOSE MANY CUSTOMERS. I ALREADY KNOW OF AT LEAST TWO THAT HAVE LEFT AT&T AND I AM VERY MUCH ON THE VERGE OF DOING THE SAME.

It's about AT&T--of course...the company with THE worst "customer service" in the world. I just spent two hours on the phone with two different techs (escalated up to a level 2), trying to solve a problem with not getting email from a business client that I've routinely received email from--four emails I was expecting didn't even make it to the AT&T server, and I'd already investigated with the client to be sure the problem wasn't on their end. First, AT&T tried to tell me it was my fault: rule #1 in their training manual must say "always try to blame the customer" because I was using the wrong version of Outlook.

Then they wanted to take remote control of my computer to troubleshoot--I refused, not only because the problem isn't on my computer, it's on their server, but also because I don't want them to screw anything up on my computer, which they almost always do. Then I asked for a level 2 tech, who tried the same routine. I then asked if she could check the sender's email address to see if AT&T had somehow blocked it. She said no, that AT&T couldn't block sender addresses....and backed off that claim when I asked how AT&T blocked spam-sender addresses (which they do, but not well at all, witness the 100+ daily spams I'm getting this week).

The coup de grace was when I had to tell HER that sbcglobal.net runs on the Yahoo platform....and this is a tech, let alone a level 2 tech??? I'm now going to drop my last account with AT&T...they don't care a whit about their customers, and never have. Thank God it looks as if their T-Mobile acquisition isn't going to go through, AND that it will cost them a bundle to get out of it....which of course they will pass along to anyone stupid enough to continue to use their "services."

I have uverse put in for all services on 08/03/2012 during the first month my services would go off for periods of time when it rained or got cloudy on Sept 042012 I called as the service in my kitchen tv thats houses one of the wireless receivers did not work After time on the phone to see if we could get it fixed it could not be fixed and they had to send a tech out on 09/04/12 when he came we were told that we had the wrong modem and we were loosing signal He replaced the modem and then went into our downstairs family room and pulled on the wires that were placed for a box on initial installation he then could not get the TV to go on and finally gave up and gave us a wireless receiver. Know I am getting charged for the repair and a $110.00 charge for a computer outlet that was there on installation and a 99.00 repair I should not have to pay for these acct chages as apparently the u verse was not set up right on installation I want these charges removed phone number 773-774-6752 I spoke to a supervior and then a manager who told me the repair charge can be removed but the outler charge has to remain . Waht kind of business is this I am wondering if I should have stayed with comcast I do not see a new outlet by my computer that was put in

On 11/13/2012 I needed services to swoop phones because of shattered glass at location, AT&T 3329 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas,TX. I was unable to get the proper assistance and was told to take the phone to an Apple Store. After arriving at the Apple Store I mentioned I had phone insurance from AT&T. I was directed to the 2nd AT&T Store at 1030 North Park Center, Dallas, T 75225. I was given a card to contact AT&T support to issue me a new phone.

On 11/14/2012, I received the 4G phone, however had problems making connections. On 11/15/2012, I returned to the Oak Lawn store to get the 4G phone set-up. I was told I had an hour wait and the store representative (Jeff) made contact from the store phone to the call center to assist me. The person from the call center stated I needed assistance from someone else because it would take longer to get me set-up on my cell after communicating for at least 15 minutes or longer.

I was switched to another gentlemen that was surprised how I was treated in the store, and on the store phone. We were on the phone for at least 45 minutes and I was passed to an Apple advisor by the name of Jerry Pensleywho took my email address and mentioned to contact him when I got home. In the meanwhile, I had requested for a store manager three (3) times and was never assisted. The associate Jeff who made little contact and assistance was extremely rude and kurt. Jeff mentioned if a representative could not help then a manager would intervene. Jeff was the representative and his assistance was extremely poor and a manger was never called. I was on the AT&T store phone for at least an hour while other calls were coming in on AT&T phone service trying to get my phone activated. As I left the store Jeff mentioned did I need any assistance, and was I taken care of.

My answer was "No". Jeff, personality was very nasty and anyone who cannot conduct themselve in an orderly fashion dealing with the public give the establishment AT&T an unreliable name. I have never experienced a problem with AT&T from the many years I have had service. I will not recommend AT&T to anyone and may consider changing services.

Look to hear from you soon.

I would call and talk to AT&T about this but I was but on hold forever and could never get through. Two weeks ago I had U-Verse internet and cable installed in my apartment. The man who installed the equipment was friendly and very helpful but the way the he set everything up was a disaster. The wires were all tangled together. Every time I try and disconnect a wire everything falls off the shelf because he just left everything in tangles and in a cluster. I would expect him to fully do his job and leave the place looking better than he found it because I had the wires before neat and clean. But what really angered me was the fact that he set all the equipment on TOP of my new BLU-RAY player. And for some reason it is not working. I would think someone who works with electronics would know better than to put that much weight on top of the Blu-Ray player. I am not the person to complain but I am very irritated with such poor judgment he displaced.

Hello My name is Randy Gray Accounts # 504 393-0832 475 and 504 361-4601 476 My complaint is about a few things. I have been with AT&T for over 15 years. My business was @ 1801 Hancock street Gretna Louisiana 70053 . Well after I been there over5 years, I had to move to 2431 Hudson place NO 70131. I ask back then that can I have the same number 504 361-4601 moved to that location due to advertisement and everything I built around that number. AT&T replied there is no way . you have to have the number 393-0832 . They also offered me that on getting that line they can forward the 361-4601 at no extra cost as log as I stay with AT&T. Well that has been fine since last year when yawl have been making all kinds of changes.

Change 1) Yawl turned that forward line with out my knowing into a contract that will cost me 60.00 per month more . I didn't ask for it nor did I was offered a lower price when they made the changes nor did I know I was accumulating a bill 466.88. to get disconnected.But The answering guy said that I haven't paid since the month of March.

Change 2) If my phone gets disconnected due to payment . Not only you disconnect ,Your advertisement turns my business Number to other business in the area, as a recording. That is Not right I lost a lot of business over that, on the 504 361-4601 as we speak, while I disputing the charges. ( Please call and here what am talking about)

Change 3) the internet service has change also where that is coming from another company out of AT&T called Uverse . That is so crazy. When you call to speak with a manager they never get on the phone . My main concern is please get my old business number 504 361-4601 to tie back into the 393-0832 and if not please stop referring my business number to other business. I beg you please stop. I'm a small company and I will be force to get a lawyer if it hurts me more than what its doing. Please contact me back your feedback, of what can you do for me to keep me moving forward . First thing Waive that 466.86 and combine both of them numbers to 393-0832 please work with me here. I Never seen AT&T go this for to the left before. Thanks for your time .

Sincerely

Randy Gray

I haven't had service with AT&T since 2010 yet today I received a bill from them. I spoke to six different people and finally hung up after being put on hold again. I have enough bills without getting one from a company that I no longer do business with. Unreal !

Hello,

I get over charged on my cell phone bill since I signed contract with att for my wireless phones. Im not going over the limit on my plan but I get over charges for $50 more on my bills. I have contact them every time i get my bill so they can adjusted the correct amount. I'm frustrated with their service specially with their hold time it is insane you wait 30 minutes on the line and someone answers the phone and transfers you to a different person and it continues until it is like an hour or so being on the line. finally you get to the right person and he or she says that the bill amount is correct and then I tell them it is not and they find it that it is actually incorrect and they apologize every time. I never seen a serve like this before. I would be glad to cancel my services when my contract is over. with att.

It's a shame i have been a loyal customer with AT&T for 4 years last year i found myself on disability as of 11/12/12 it is now 1/5/13 and i still have not received any money from disability i haven't been able to pay my rent or my Car note yet i get more courtesy from my land lord and an auto loan company than i do from AT&T i am currently one month behind on my cell phone bill and my service has been suspended i explained to the billing department that i will be able to pay my bill next week because i go back to work tomorrow but they say there is nothing they can do for me i have a lot of catching up to do on my bills if my phone is off for a week i will not pay for it that's something i can not afford right now i would be a shame for AT&T to lose a customer for 80 dollars! What kind of business does that?

Feb 2012 I placed an order for dsl and for home phone service. I had told them when i placed order for dsl that I had no phone line and no jacks in my home. They assured me that all i had to do is plug into wall, I thought hey new things ok, yet had no internet service, I put in trouble ticket someone was here next day to connect phone line outside to box. They never buried line, said oops would come here mark it out and they would return to bury line. Internet was up the night the tech came out.

However My phone service isnt. Even after deposit of 100 has cleared. I called customer service, put trouble ticket in,said they gave me said they would sent someone out, it should have been on on the 7th of March.Yet they couldnt get nobody for another until 13th someone was to come out and fix the issue so I have service. Meanwhile called a few times just so they can "test line". I tried the number they gave me and someone answered, so i called At&t to confirm that that was my number on March 11th gave them my social my passcode, confirmed my address. they tried to call number, said when tech came out they would make sure nobody swiped line from my yard since it is still laying there 3 weeks later. Talked to customer service 10 times.

Yesterday on the 13th At&T repair guy called me said he was at my house, ha they gave him some 192 red bud pass or some address not mine mine is 8650 forsythia ln orient ohio. He did show up after gave him correct address, yet order was obviously so jacked in the system that he said I would have to sort it out with at&t, so after dealing with automated service which is bs in itself its a phone company there should be enough lines to speak to someone directly. And who speaks good clean english, it is the USA and being transferred to so many people who claim to be supervisors, and then some guy told me I had no order for service! I am really pissed off, over 2 weeks Ive been waiting for phone service I was told by the 11th person today on 3-14 by a customer advocate she was only told I wanted a premier package what? and she said my number was BS.

This should be simple I have dsl, they ran my jack, they ran line all youd think theyd have to do is send signal and turn on the damn phone. And get my name and address right. OH and come back and bury the phone line so its not out in the yard waiting for some kid to try and shock themself or something. My God I have litterally spoken to and dealt with at least 11 different people, yet nobody is helping and are not understanding, the whole picture I have to explain everytime. Give me a number that is mine associated with my name and address. You ran my credit for it and ran my deposit that cleared. Which I better get back, for all the hassles with morons I have dealt with. Ill tell ya, Customer servie goal is to do things right for 1st time this should never had happened. I would love to resolve this because I need phone service

AT&T Disconnected phone service now on a montly basis, like clock work. AT&T disconnected my service on Dec. 15th, 2014, do to a 1 day late payment. Then again on Jan. 15th, Now AGAIN on Sat. Feb. 15th. This is a scam and they refuse to remove the additional $35.00 fee + taxes + sur charges. Payments have been made. Have they sunk so low to produce revenue that they disconnect service on a monthly basis. Additional late fees of $7.00. My service is only 28.00/mn but Now with the late chgs. and $35.00 fee + taxes it averages 75.00/mn. They refuse to clear up this matter and set the record straight. This is a SCAM!

So tired of AT&T high cost poor service. People should be allowed to choose the carrier of their choice instead having to be forced to accept what is in their area only or do without service. Thought they said that America is a free country, really, well you should be free to choose your own carrier not forced to choose the carrier they assigned to you leaving you no other choice to have to choose them or be without service, this should be very unconstitutional. I guess America is only a free country for the wealthy to ripoff the poor.

Yeah, I know Esurance, but does AT&T care about their customers. This morning I talked with 2 reps, neither of which listened to me. Neither repeated to me correctly what I stated to be my problem. So what's new!

I'm upset about AT&T and their lack of service and the lies from your representatives. We purchased 2 cellphones from AT&T on 1-23-15. Was told at that time that we would put uverse in the house with a sef install. Sometime between 1-23 and 1-28 the order was cancelled for the uverse self install and we were not notified. On 1-28 I called to see where the modem was at, because we had not received it.I was told that I could not do a self install.I went back to the store and talked to Dylan, about getting the uverse taken care of.We needed to get the uverse installed prior to changing the home number to the new cell phone. We needed a little bit of consideration because I'm going through chemo and needed an early time and not waiting all day.The first appt they arranged so I canceled it, and Dylan got an appt for the next day at 9 am. The techs go to work at 9 am, or so we were told.Later I foound out that's a lie, its 8 am.

The AT&T tech came on that day,at 9:20 he did a good job putting the uverse in other that some hoe our home was disconnected.At that time I ask him how I get the cell phone working. he said we had to go to the store.They said they needed the last 4 numbers of my wifes social and I did not have it with me. I came home, got on the phone and tried to get the porting procedure started. After 6 different people, the last person finally told me they could not do the porting because the home phone was shut off. They ask me why I had them shut the land line off, and I told them that I didn't.Went back to the store to try to get the land line turned on. I was told I would have to call AT&T to get that done. Finally got someone, that set up an appt for a tech to turn the land line back on.When that tech showed up, he didn't have the correct piece of equipment to get the land line working. So he called another tech to bring the piece he needed. This 2-5-15 .

After they were here and the land line was working, I went back to the AT&T store and talked to a rep about getting the porting started. He talked to the porting dept. She put him on hold and during that time another rep called my house to see if this was a working number.They came back on the phone at the store, they said the porting process had started. We received a call from napara maddox 866-695-2360 ext 13742 .This was at 2:30 central time. She assured me the matter was being taken care of and in 24 hours we would have service and she would call me at that time. We did not receive a call, so I called that number, she was not there, said she was off this afternoon. The person I talked to said the porting had not even started. Would take untill Monday before it could be reported. I'm thoroughly upset. We go back to the store, Dylan is busy with another customer and the assistant manager came to talk to us.

I believe her last name was reed. She made a call to you, was told it had been ported and would be ready within a few minutes and we would be receiving a call. More lies, again and again. This was at 4:30 this afternoon Friday the 6th. And now it is 8:45 and guess what, no phone call. Imagine that. This is the poorest excuse for a company that I've dealt with. We told Ms Reed that if we didn't receive the call and a working number that we were told over and over, that we would bring the cell phones back to that store in the morning.

Signed up the for next program in the middle of the month with when updating my phone. I was offered the u-verse phone option at that time so I signed up for that too. I had a combined billing that was due at the end of the month. AT&T did the split around the 20th. I then received a bill from ATT cellular (same billing dates) and a separate bill to pay u-verse internet and phone which I did two weeks before they were due. The following month I get a collection letter from the combined services that state I did not pay my bill. After 2-1/2 hours and getting hung up on several times and calling back I found out they were closed. I called back the next day they told me a claim will be filed and someone would call me.

After two weeks no call, I called them said it was still in process and I would get a letter by the end of the month with the resolution. I never received a call or letter I just figured it was taken care of. Another month goes by and now I am getting calls from a third party collection agency on this bill. Called AT&T back and they cannot find any records of my combined account and have no idea who to send me to. After being transferred 10 times and 45 minutes later no resolution. I got hung up on again!!! Next step will be finding an attorney.

I called ATT today about an email I received (1/8/15) letting me know that I had been "undercharged" for the last few months. Due to discovery of this "error" I can expect my service to increase by $5. Now, this may not seem like much, but 1-they notified me after they had made the change (on 12/29/14), and 2-I was already paying the regular rate (as was verified when I called them 8/2014 after my new customer rate had ended). They are entitled to increase their rates, as I saw a notice on their website indicating higher 2015 rates. That said, my Dec/Jan bill specifically indicates that I ("You") made a plan change that instigated this increased rate. And, because they made the change mid-billing cycle, I got to pay almost $3 more in taxes. Thanks, ATT! <Not really.> Now, I'm at $8 more on my current bill, which I find ridiculous for the spotty internet service we get. Unfortunately, (if you can believe it) given our location in Fort Worth, TX, there is no other internet service provider for my geographical area. So, I guess I'll just pay my bill and suck it...for now. But, I wanted the world to know...ATT sucks!

I have a complaint about the local AT&T stores that I have been to for problems with my cell phones. The customer service is below all expectations. Whenever you walk in one of their stores they greet you very nicely but the seem not to be able to help you. Cracked screen? Go to website x. Bad battery? go to website Y. Camera does not work? Go to website W. So basically all the do is sell you service plans, once that is done you are on your own...

At&t allows unsolicited calls to be repeatedly sent to my phone number. At&t knows of these calls and the numbers from where they are being placed. Our local authority (Sheriff Dept.), is aware of the harassing calls to many of the area phone numbers in this city as well as others counties around us. You cannot block the numbers since At&t allows their numbers (multiplies), to continue their service. I have cell phones also but not with At&t.... My consideration now is to totally disconnect from At&t my phone line which will include their U-verse internet service. I guess it is all about the money since the harassers have so many numbers they (At&t) profit a hundred times more than what I pay them...

In Ocala, Fl AT&T Call Center is employing a woman by the name of Yvonne McDonald-Garcia who has a serious substance & alcohol abuse problem. McDonald-Garcia abuses prescription drugs, cocaine, & alcohol at home & during her work shifts at AT&T. McDonald-Garcia has a number of illegal drug transactions taking place within her home regularly. McDonald-Garcia has also connected with other AT&T employees who is aiding her in hacking numerous internet accounts/profiles & cellphone accounts for individuals, a service I believe she is collecting financial revenue for providing.

My phone don't answer sometime it drop calls it don't pick up apps at&t app expire etc but i have to pay for service from july-oct without int they say that a part of the contract i will pass the work about these service i will never call for any service from ar7t again soon as my contract is up i rather use a government phone. I am so so so so so disappoint with at&t with all these bad bad bad service so good bye in november i wil be filing a complaint with bbs and whom ever will listen and do something about this rip off.

You would think there would be a maintainable level of respect with this company but it does not exist. Clearly the mobile phone industry is way to big for its britches and AT&T lead the pack in bad behavior. The remedy is unclear but I'm starting by buying my own phone and having the ability to move on in 6 weeks. disgusting people....

I just want to say I have been a loyal customer since 1999 and I have always been satisfied with service and product until the last 3 yrs. I have 5 phones for my husband myself and 3 kids and I have had to replace 22 phones either threw warranty or just plain by new ones because none of then work after a couple wks. The product really disappoints me these days and it does not matter if I got a 40$ phone or a $600.00 phone they r all junk. Then u call customer service and those people treat u like crap then charge u to send a replacement then sometimes the new one comes and sometimes u have to call again and get charge more money to wait on another junk phone all the while the mins that I have paid for are not getting used but that's ok cuz u guys got paid for them even when I don't have a phone to use them on for wks. This is ridiculous! I pay for data because half the time the phones won't connect to WiFi. Sometimes u get ur phone calls sometimes u get ur text and sometimes ur boss wants to fire u because u never returned the phone call u never got and sometimes when ur kid is in the nurses office and needs to come home sick or with a broken arm just maybe u will get that phone call. Please stop making new phones and fix the ones u already have out so they actually work more then sometimes. I am a very very disappointed dissatisfied long time customer that is about to change all 5 of my phones to a new service provider if I don't get some acknowledgement on this problem u have been causing me.

I am ready to call the Better Business Bureau or someone about all the annoying calls to my home about switching to U-verse. I have asked to be removed from their list but the calls just keep on coming. I am feed up with this annoyance. I have told the callers over and over again I am not interested in switching but it does no good.

I used to have internet and telephone service with AT&T. Until about 7 months I had my telephone turned off because each month in would be a different price plus they was going up monthly. I left a balance with my telephone $68.00 I still have my internet I was paying $10.00 each month on telephone balance. Until they stop allow me to pay the $10.00 thru my online account next thing I knew they have put it collection. First it was Franklin Collection. I don't understand that I was paying them. My balance was 38.00. Now the have sent it to another collection agency. I just received my bill for my internet service and it has almost double. I look to see what they was charging me for. They stated in December I removed their service and in the same month add it back so they charge me for that. I never called them about anything in December. You can't call and talk to anyone anyway. What is going on with AT&T. I am going to contact Public Service Commission. And why do they goes up every month on telephone service?

I moved to this area two years ago and I settled on one side of the Morse Reservoir and then moved to the next side, which is Noblesville. I had good service until some towers were upgraded and no one had dealt with the problem for over seven months. I have heard all the excuses. The fact is that if I want to use my cell or tablet (both ATT), I must drive from my residence out to route 32 to get reception. It affects my email, internet, and wireless phone service. I have encouraged everyone else who is experiencing this problem to file a complaint with the FCC. If my phone, internet service, and hot spot worked ok before why not now??? Someone had done something during the upgrade that has caused the tower not to see my wireless equipment (phone and tablet, both ATT). I am retired and single and I need a reliable service so I am shopping around so that the next job that I can replace this service after I take on work again.

I'm a customer with AT&T for 15 plus years. I called customer service on January 16 to talk about charges on my wireless bill. I was charged data for roaming in Aruba. I did not use my cell phone, could not connect, was still charged for it. I paid over $ 400.00. Next month i was charged for calls received but not answered by me, after my billing cycle. I have a family plan with 4 cell phones on for many years and we should not be charged for phone calls not received and billed after the billing cycle. We are not happy because we are being charged foe a service we did not use. I'm traveling to Germany often and i add text messages to my bill. Text messages received are not being charged but phone calls received but not answered being charged? If AT&T does not credit me the $ 167 i have choice to switch my cell phone carrier. Thank you for your time and i hope we can solve this issue to my satisfaction. Sincerely Bedia Sears

In 1953 my wife and I became Ohio Bell customers. During 61+ years since then (until 12/26), we've had service from various Bell operating companies or ATT.

For 23 years in Austin TX we were SW Bell/ATT customers -- 2 land lines, TV, internet and 2 cell phones. Poor TV and internet quality compelled cancellation of those 2 services. But land line and cell service continued with ATT -- despite the annoyance of static on both land lines following virtually every heavy or even moderate rainfall.

Last month we moved to a new house, less than 10 minutes from the previous house and in the same zip code. Transfer of the same numbers to the new house was promised. More than 2 weeks after requesting transfer of the 2 lines, a service rep appeared on Christmas eve (only one day later than promised). He couldn't do the switch because the next door lawn (where some ATT equipment is located was locked and the owners were out of town.

So I scheduled phone service from Time Warner on 12/26. That very day ATT cancelled service to the old house, without notifying me.

Throughout this through-the-looking-glass- exercise in absurdity I made many calls to ATT, always with stupendous wait times. The record wait time, I'm ashamed to confess, went on for 1 hour, 36 minutes.

The final call (I deluded myself to believe it would be the last) was in early January. A live female ATT rep in Wichita assured me that all our remaining ATT accounts would be closed. After 61+ years. Time of that call to Wichita? A mere 46 minutes.

Yesterday an ATT booklet arrived by mail, welcoming us to the ATT family, and revealing that for a mere $96.51 a month we get 2 land lines in Austin; numbers 512-453-2799 and 512-453-5530. The same numbers cancelled by ATT less than a month ago.

None of this is or could be made up. It happened, exactly as described. Kafkaesque, you think?

Not one representative a spoke with on yesterday, had no experience when I needed some billing information on a miscellaneous account(mailbox in the sky) I was on hold for an hour, I asked for names of supervisors, district managers, also operations managers. I was put on hold and my issue was never resolved. These employees need to be trained better to handle all calls. I retired form AT&T and there is no way I would ever suggest that any customer should call for assistance, because all they are going to get is a bunch of round arounds. Irate as HELL

February 22, 2014 we went on a cruise, right before we left I contacted AT&T about going out of the country and our data usage we just purchased an iPad Air. The person I talked to changed our plan to save us some money and told us we would be put on international rate while we were out of the county. When we left port in Galveston TX and were out to sea we tried to use our phones and we had not service for calls, texting or the iPad. We put them away until we got back in port at Galveston TX on Sunday March 1st. The person I talked to told us our normal monthly bill from now on should be $171.80 until the iPad was paid off. Today I checked our statement on line and it shows we owe $288.65. I called support and asked why so high and was told we made some texts with video and were charged a roaming rate. I again told this person I was talking to our phones and the iPad did not work on the cruise and we put them away until we got back in port in Galveston TX to use. I asked how it could show we used them out of the country and he said that is what the system shows and that is what he has to go by.

We have been with AT&T for a long time, if this is the way you are going to treat us we will look at our options.

3 weeks ago I called and spoke with a customer service rep. that explain incorrectly how the international plan works. I explained in detail what services I was looking for and she assured me that ATT could provide that. Well that was incorrect. My son is in South Korea in the Army, we were with T-mobile which has an international plan with unlimited data and text and calling/ 10 cents a minute. The problem with them was we were getting a lot of drop calls so I called ATT to ask questions about international plans to call South Korea and for my son to call us from South Korea. The lady stated that the international plan was $5.00 per line to add and that each call made would be 8 to 10 cents per minute. So we continue to talk about data and unlimited text and talk.

So I went through with joining att based on the answers I was given to all my questions, so 2 phones and a sim card was sent out to me. The phones were for me and my mother and the sim card was for my son whose in South Korea with an ATT phone. So once he got the sim card which took about 14 days to get there he was unable to get the phone to work. So I continue to call all through out the days to try to get things right. As I called and spoke with different people was being informed different things. 1st the plan we had didn’t support calling to and from south korea, then we were told on yesterday the phone still isn’t able to work do to some technical difficulties for not being able to reach south korea network.

Then I was told that he would have to purchase a calling card. and the story goes on and on and on …lies…So today I was told after they added the international plan that the phone would work. the only happen was a billed that generated for over 900.00 in less than 6 hours and my son still is unable to call or text…so now I want to go back to T-Mobile where we atleast were able to communicate with unlimited data , text and calls. I was lied too in order to switch. Very disappointed when my son is serving his country and can’t communicate with his family just for a company to gain money for a service they couldn’t supply. I would like a phone call, and to terminate this 2 year contract for being told a straight out lie!

I just realize that ATT added a dollar to my equipment rental. What is the reason for that when the equipment is in my home and has been accounted for. When I called and ask for a good reason for this, I was able to talk to Daneil and unceremoneously disconnected. How rude. They know my number and can call back. I can not find an email or something to air my grievance.

Now, I must give a disclaimer up front that this story is rather involved and completely a “first world problem”, but it’s my problem so if you care to listen read on. My wife and I’s lease on our house we were renting was ending and sadly we had to move. I previously had service with Wow!, but they didn’t offer internet/cable at our new address so I was in search of a new company to go with. I spoke with many of my coworkers and they informed me that AT&T was the best company to go with.

A few days prior to moving, I went online and spoke with a representative and picked out an internet plan and they informed me that a tech would go by my house and they would send me the modem in the mail for me to set up. The day came where we started moving in and there was already something on the door indicating AT&T had been there and the modem had already arrived in the mail. I thought to myself, “Man, they are efficient”.

The day came (Tuesday) when our internet should be working so that evening I attempted to hook up my internet and low and behold nothing worked. I called their customer service number only to have the first person I talked to tell me he couldn’t find my account number or any record that I had service with them. Now, keep in mind, I had their modem, someone had been to my house and I had two papers with my name and a new account number with a phone number associated with my new AT&T internet. I was transferred to another guy who couldn’t find it and then conference called with a fourth person.

None of these people could find my account. I was then put on hold again for over 30 minutes where I gave up and simply hung up. The next day, after work, I was at home trying to get the internet to work again (which it didn’t) so I called again. The 5th person I spoke with told me he couldn’t find my account number, surprise surprise and he advised me to call the customer service number that I had called to reach him. So I hung up and called the 6th person who did offer me a slight glimmer of hope.

She had me try both phone jacks in my house and informed me she didn’t see any signal, but she could send someone out the next morning to fix the problem. I informed her that I wouldn’t be home, and neither would my wife do to our work schedules. She said that wouldn’t be a problem and that the technician could complete the service call without coming inside.

Well, she was wrong. My phone rang while at work on that Thursday with the technician informing me he was about 15 minutes from my house. I told him that was fine, but I wouldn’t be there because I was at work. He appeared flabbergasted and said, “Well you need to be there, I am going to have to put this appointment on hold until Saturday and I will come back by then”. I completed my work day and being that no one had done anything of value for me so far, I decided to call just to verify the appointment I supposedly had on Saturday. Well, wouldn’t you know it, no appointment existed. The customer service representative I spoke with, Caroline, (who may I remind you was the 8th person I had spoken with), was professional and seemed to have a good head on her shoulders.

She tried switching my appointment but informed me she was having trouble taking the hold off of it. She told me she would work on the matter and call me back. She did a few minutes later, but told me she was unable to do so and would call me back the next day. Long story short she was unable to move my appointment and I had someone else apparently make me an appointment on Saturday (which they didn’t) even though they gave me an appointment number to verify my imaginary appointment. I ended up mailing the modem back and canceling the internet service without every getting to see if it was any sort of a good product.

The main reason for this complaint is that AT&T stresses how much they care about their customers and in reality they do not. They simply tell you what you want to hear knowing you will probably never interact with that person again when they don’t do what they say. All I wanted was the internet. I wasn’t asking for anything out of the ordinary. AT&T’s company revolves around the transmission of information, whether it’s thru the internet, phone or television. But, everyone, other than Caroline, didn’t give me any worth while information. 80% of the people I spoke with couldn’t even find my account. And, even when having two people independently of one another, verify my Saturday appointment, in actuality I never even had one. So what’s the point of giving someone a reference number for their appointment if it doesn’t exist?!

Overall, this was the worst customer service I have experienced in my entire life in any sort of realm. Nothing positive was gained from it, only negative. I realize too that the sad thing is I don’t matter to AT&T at all. They are such a large company, someone will just fill my place.

Every month my bill goes up. And I have had uverse service for 2 years and my bill has never been the amount I was told it would be. I love the service just want my bill to be correct. I am and have always been on a budget and told the agent that when I changed to uverse. Not happy with my billing.

Moved to mt. Nernon Ohio to help ailing parents. Upon arriving I find that I have no service from AT&T. After numerous cantacts with AT&T I still have no service and no recommendations. I even drove to AT&T stre an hour away to try to remedy the problem. Nothing happened and I continued getting bills. My contract was cancelled and I was still being billed plus other charges for service I never received. I have been with AT&T for 7 plus years. Never thought they would treat their customers this way . they are sending me to collections for problems they caused.

Shame on all the top leaders in AT&T company. One of the worst companies to handle your problem. They don’t understand their team is a reflection of them. I have 2 business lines and 3 personal lines. I have called for different reasons to speak to a supervisor and not even once the supervisor has been available. I called 11 days ago and left my information to an associat named Noriel ID#hd097q, he said a supervisor will call me and he is yet to call me back after 11 days. Then I called today and apoke to Craig Jones ID#cj405q
He told me someone will call me and hung up before giving me the supervisor’s name. I called back again today and spoke to Yolanda Gorde ID#YG463T. She was the most inconsiderate person that I have spoken to. She didn’t allow me to talk when I asked if there is any note from Craig about my call that was made earlier today, she responded no there was no notes. Then I asked how they are held accountable for making a note on my account. She said it doesn’t matter who cares why do you want to know about that. At this moment I was furious that not only she wasn’t apologizingm, she was telling me who cares about the customer I asked to speak to Bobby Jhonson the supervisoe, she refused to put me through. I told her that I wanted to disconnect my lines and she responded that she could do that in seconds and there is no need to involve a supervisor. She repeatedly told me there was no reason for me to talk to the supervisor despite my request and disconnected me. I will reach out on any social media to ensure everyone is aware of your service and why we can’t speak to a superviser after 12 days. Why are your supervisors so busy that they don’t care about an upset customer. I expect to hear from you ASAP and will reach out to channel 7 ( Help me howard ) to understand what your philosophy is. You can email me back and I will call you on a number that you provide me.. You should be ashamed of your mission and vision for your company. Without your customers you are nothing. One unsatisfied customer informs 10 other people. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I paid my bill online the amount is says is due. Well then I get a letter saying I owe like three times that amount. When I paid it online it showed a zero balance but then they said they had it returned twice and I let them know that there was no way and that I paid my boyfriend ATT at his home and it was fine. I have always had enough to pay in this acct. Well I had taken my auto pay off when I closed my checking and they had used it anyway not only on the debit but also the checking routing way. Two ways they were not authorized to do. Now I have talked to them and am told I will have to pay this amount and that is that. Then about a week later I get a letter that says I had asked to take me off autopay and thought it was strange since it was about the same time as all this occurred. They just went and did there own thing and didn’t look to see I was using a different card to pay. It doesnt’ even show the card number I paid with. just my acct info from when I first started acct with them . I made a payment on the over 100 balance instead of the 34.95 that I was shown to have owed and have another payment due this month by the 7th on balance. Now today got a letter that is thanking me for signing up for auto pay. GEEZ could it get any more screwed up with this company. I let them know that I will be stopping service at both homes as soon as I get another service.
