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 started New-Service with AT&T and ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 Refurbished device. I found some technical problem in the device and went to couple of AT&T Stores to find the resolution. I was told like you can refund or exchange this device since it's under 14-days.
I called Premier Support since I bought this device online (under premier). After several conversation with them, they were ready to exchange the device and asked me to pay Full Amount for new device and as soon as I will send back the existing device they will credit back the difference amount. I follow the instruction of Premier support executive, made the full payment & returned the existing device.
I tracked the device using the tracking number given to me and called AT&T again when I saw that the device has been reached. I asked for the difference amount and asked me to wait for 48 hours. I have been calling them continuously since then but not resolution. Now I am in 2 years contract with them and also paid amount of both devices.
Please assist.
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.
I have faced the worst dsl customer service ever, not once but always. When I took dsl service the customer care person assisted me in selecting a plan. She guided me wrong. She told that I will be charged 14.95$ a month as I already have wireless with at&t and If i do not order a modem I will not be in any contract. They told me speed upto 6mbps but provided less than 1.5mbps. I was charged 19.95$ and when I talked to customer care they told me that you need to have a phone connection for 14.95$ price that contradicts the statement of previous customer care person. I am not bothered about 5$ but the speed was so slow that I ended the service after 2 mnths thinking that I am free to leave at&t. After a month they charged me 138.59$ as pending fee with no details. I called customer care. I was on phone for about 2 hrs and they were transferring me here and there and they were so dumb to answer any question. In the end I paid it. Now after 3 months they charged me 80$ again. Am I so free to call them again and again but I called again as I did not want to pay again without knowing what I am paying for. I was on phone again for about 1.30hr and they kept me transferring again and again. They have hired the dumbest people. Then I called after 2 days again and thank god someone told me the reason why I was charged 80$. She said it was early termination fee for internet I used to have 3months back. Wow that was a big surprise to me. I told there was no contract but she said there was. Whom to believe?? The very first customer care person or this one. So I have put the case under investigation. Either they are big cheaters who lie to you to put you in a contract or the customer care representatives are uneducated, dumb people.
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
Today (December 28) is the thirteenth day I have been waiting for AT&T to "port" my number from Suddenlink or Sprint. I was an AT&T customer for five years and became very dissatisfied with the cost of their service. When I tried to switch on December 15 to Suddenlink, I could not switch because of my alarm system. Suddenlink released my original telephone number on December 16. Since then I have talked to several dozen AT&T representatives.
Two have sent me to bogus numbers, one a health service and one a disconnected number. Almost all of them have sent me to another part of AT&T, which then sends me back to customer service and makes me wait through the recorded list of services. An AT&T technician came to my home, assured me the porting of the number could be done "in a few minutes" and then departed surreptitiously without doing anything or telling me what he had done. I had no telephone service for seven days but then finally got a "temporary" number.
I am supposed to get my original number back on Thursday, December 29. I had good reason to leave AT&T, and if I ever get my original telephone number back, I will leave them again. Incredibly bad service!!!
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 March right after getting out of the hospital, I was having issues with my phone. I was in fear of heart attack and being with out a phone. I went to the at&t store to see what they can do, I was told I had to take the phone to the apple store or wait to get phone through the mail. I couldn't wait, mgr said he would see what he could do. I had 2 myths to go before upgrade. He could and explained to someone the importance of a working phone. After all the b.s I went through, he got me an approval for a new phone. NO ONE SAID IT WAS AN UPGRADE NOR A NEW 2 YEAR CONTRACT!!! I call and find out, it was approved for a new upgrade EARLIER than allowed. Then when I call and ask for the Mgr, he was the rudest fuck..... I would have gotten a pay n go phoname had I known this bullshit would have been pulled. I don't work, I am so angry, Better Business B and chamber of Commerce! And I will post this on FB. Disgusting the way I was treated and how this was handled. I will contact my lawyer. Shame on you
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
After Hurricane Sandy, ATT claimed my husband was Internationally calling/texting, however he never left the states. ATT would not show us proof of these claims and billed us for over $300 charges. I continued to fight with ATT over our international charges and they kept telling me there was nothing they could do since the system showed us international.
I was not international, I was at home with no power or cell service. We left ATT in Feb due to these charges. They billed us with cancellation fees, entire Feb bill (even though we didnt have them) and international charges. They processed our credit card without our consent. I will never use ATT again. They are trying to gain money back after Hurricane Sandy.. Horrible customer service.
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 Iâm went to the hospital twice because the way of AT&T doesnât 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,

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note phone from one of the representatives of At&t. It occurred to me on 12/19/2012 when I was getting ready to upgrade my phone I realized that the representative ordered the wrong phone that I ordered for my husband (Samsung Galaxy Note). When I wanted to get the situation taking care of At&T could not assist me because the phones was in processing to be shipped.
This ocurrence was not my fault! The Samsung Galaxy Note was for my husband's anniversary gift. In short I will have wait for the wrong phone to come ruining my anniversary gift for my husband. There should be some type compensation for ruining my anniversary!
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.
We have been having problems since we moved to our present location. The tv keeps freezing and when trying to record ar watch recorded program says DVr not working. The tv will stop and give list of trouble shooting suggestions. We have called and are just told to reboot.
We have rebooted this junk more times than I can count. It seems that this is happening on the main tv as the others don't have the same problem. We have been told this was impossible. The cost of this service is not low and for what we spend this problem should never exist. It took several months to get our billing straight after we moved also.
Talking to many other AT&T customers this is happening widespread. Please please do something to resolve this issue.
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."
Our monthly service with AT&T is $9.57 which includes Unlimited NW Call Plus . We were told that with internet it would run us about $60.00. OK, no problem. We tried calling out but had to dial 1 first , so we called AT &T and wanted to know why we had to dial 1 first. They said we had to dial the 1 first but verified that we had unlimited calling. Opened the bill today and instead of $ 60.00, the bill was $ 170.72 . Got on the internet with AT &T Chat and spent 45 minutes just to be told in the end that I would have to call a number on the phone. Of course, it is night time and I have to call back tomorrow. I am upset that AT & T has misled us about their fees and what they included, that I spend 45 minutes of time to be told that I would have to call another number, and that they are over charging us for services we need. We did not ask for the Long distance service, why would we need it with Unlimited calling? The rep could not answer my questions. Lies, ALL LIES !
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!
My dsl internet service was disconnected without my consent for Uverse Internet plan. It was installed but my regular wired phone service and my old phone number were also disconnected without my consent for Uverse Voice. I want my my regular wired phone service back or I will have to change to other phone service company. AT&T lied to us and I feel like there is nothing I can do about it now. I have called customer service at length but no response and a very long hold time is all I got for my efforts!
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.
I recently got out of the Marine Corps and I'm now a full time student. I am unable to get internet in my home in order to do school work and pursue my education. I was told that there is a cap on how many people they can give internet where I live, but I talked to a friend that's an engineer for at&t and he told me to file a complaint in order to get this issue resolved. He said that at&t will increase the cap in order to give me internet in my home. I'm a veteran and a full time student, and I believe that they should be able to work with me. I've been a customer for about 3 years now and hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible.
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 been a very good customer but continue to have issues with no resolution or a sense of urgency from AT&T. This organization does not have the capabilities of servicing a customer from a start point to a resolution with out going through therr ridiculous processes. I currently have an issue with a AT&T line and live box hanging in the middle of the alley due to the City of Dallas moving a power pole. Trying to explain to customer service was a nightmare as I was transferred to multiple divisions including billing. After being on the phone with these folks for two hours they finally were able to book a service tech. They arrived the next day and understood the importance that that the line hanging in the middle of the alley needed to be relocated so the customers hooked up to this live box would not lose services.
They did not have the capabilities to move the line and called in another department to do so. The next service tech showed up to explain that the active line hanging down from the powerline in the alley was acceptable and he was not going to move it to the new city power pole. He went on to send in a message that his job was complete and I received a text message indicating my services were resolved. Since I have had Uverse TV, Internet, Phone I have been with out services for 9 days this year because of incompetent service techs in the field. If you want a company that provides customer service and solutions to issues you will have with this provider , please do not pick up the phone and call AT&T Uverse.
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...
On Jan 16, 2015 my 88 yo widowed aunt was billed for IDL Teleservices on her AT&T bill for a recurring $4.95/month plus fees. She has no computer and allows ALL incoming calls to go to voicemail because of scammers (ie she did not "sign up" for services). Thanks AT&T...just so you don't feel lonely at the top I did file a complaint with the FCC and Florida State Attorney General's office. Happy New Year.
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 talked to a gentleman about getting only internet that was compatible with Netflix. He signed me up for a $34.95 promotion that was going on which included home phone. I told him that I only wanted internet and he told me that I did not need to use the house phone because it came with the internet and it was a bundle. I looked at my e-mail and it stated that I have my own house phone number and everything. I called back today (1/19/2015) and told the lady that all I wanted was internet compatible with Netflix and it was cheaper than what the gentleman said it was going to be. If I did not call back then I would have been paying for what I didn't want.
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?
I called AT&T because I had a problem with the cable box and the TV not connecting. When I called AT&T I got a representative, who told me what to do here at home. This lasted around 45 minutes, the problem still wasn't solve it got worse. The TV screen stays black nothing come on. I was getting upset so I told the rep. to send out a technician to come to the house, to replace the cable box with a new one. Why should I be doing this when I pay to have someone fix the problem. He said if AT&T send someone to the home, I might have to pay the around $99.00. I told him the problem was the cable box not the wiring. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he put on the phone a person name Joseph. I asked Joseph what was his full name he refused to tell me. He stated that supervisor were not suppose to give out their last name. I never heard of anything like this before. I would like for AT&T to send someone to my home and replace the cable box with a new one.
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
It has been 4 weeks since AT&T dug up a portion of my front yard and left a big mess upon leaving and never have returned to clean up the mess…one of the workers said would return soon to finish the job of restoring my yard to prior condition…no one has has returned….who at ATT do I contact for resolution?
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.
I have paid my monthly bill statement on the 19th of March by debit card via automated service. On the 25th of March my bank statement shows I was charged same amount via bank check. I was trying to get clarification and direction from a problem was redirected to a different none existing issue. I am frustrated and disappointed.
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 have tried to explain twice that I am not able to connect to the network (my iPhone) on my computer/IPad/or Laptop. They are not listening to what is actually happening and keep going down the path that I can’t get to the internet on my IPhone. I’ve never had any problems before. I now realize how lucky I’ve been. Support tells me the problems I’m seeing then hang up. Very disappointing.
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.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note which was an upgrade in September 2012. My phone would not charge. I tried multiple chargers and still would not charge. I ended up having to wrap the chord around the phone to put enough pressure on the insertion site for the phone to charge. The problem was the phone, not the charger. When I went to the AT&T store on Lankershim (in Los Angeles), I explained to the store clerk what was wrong with my phone. He laughed at me and proceeded to try multiple chargers in the store before telling me it was the phone. I informed him I had insurance on the phone and he told me he would not help me and i had to call AT&T myself, which I did in the store. While the gentleman on the phone was a little bit helpful, not by much, the store clerk stood in front of me rolling his eyes and laughing at me. The gentleman on the phone instructed me on how to resolve my problem in the store and he spoke to the clerk over the phone.
Once we concluded the phone call, I asked the clerk if we could fix the problem today. He stated he would not help me in the store and i had to call customer service and they could do fix my phone problem over the phone. Which was why i was on the phone to begin with. The guy on the phone told me the store would fix it and the store said no, they wouldn’t fix it. I asked for the manager. When he came over he stated no one in his store would help me with my phone issue. I told him i had been an AT&T customer for 19 years and had never been treated like this. I informed the manager and the clerk that i would be dropping them and they laughed while i was walking out the door.
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.

My wife interacted with a person called Josh around about January 16, 2014; and she was not told that our phone service would have a limit of 200 minutes. Our bill this month included $86.00 worth of calls. We have always had unlimited minutes local and long distance. I spoke to Jamie at ATT who is supposed to set up our phone service the unlimited local and long distance service for $35.00 per month. However, there was no indication that ATT would lower our bill. This was a mistake made by their representative who did not inform us nor did he change our service to what we originally had which was $35.00 a month. This step was supposed to save us money instead our bill skyrocketed. As retirees we cannot afford these bills.
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.
We recently moved 15 miles away from our previous home. We had placed a work order for internet and landline in our new home to be installed the day we closed. That was on 30 Aug 2013. We have been delayed 5 times now with excuse after excuse. Today again we were supposed to finally have a technician to arrive between 2 and 4 p.m. Guess what another no show, and no phone call to explain why or when we would be rescheduled AGAIN. My husband is on the cell phone with someone in another country that just keeps reading a script and not helping. What in the world do you have to do to get service. My husband works from home a lot and needs access to the internet and a landline phone. This is causing a lot of problems and I just don’t get it. I wish we could use another service because we would have after the 2nd appointment was cancelled. But our little town only has AT&T. They have us by the u know what and nothing we can do. I hate this!!!!
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.
I am living in my rental while waiting on a home renovation. When my wife called ATT to return service to our renovated home she was not giving a timely frame for a tech to come to our renovated home (which is already set for ATT). Due to massive miscommunications problems between departments at ATT my wife called to confirm that both residences were receiving services until the move was complete and ATT confirmed it would not happen. She was on the phone for 3 hours verifying this because she was kept on hold or hung up on most of the afternoon.
The sales or customer service rep came back and said no services would be interrupted and a tech would be at our renovated home on the 2nd. On the 30th ATT (due to a note error on the part of the customer service rep) caused all service at our rental to be deactivated. My wife has spent the better part of two day and possibly up to 40 reps between tech support, sales and tier II agents trying to resolve the issue. Bottom line we lost our tech guy coming out today in order for her to restore service at the rental. My wife is a online student due to a disability getting her MSN in Nursing.
She failed two exams yesterday due to the interruption as well as a near fail on a huge final paper for graduation. Finally at 10:30 last night internet and phone were restored, however – the television will not come back on and we had to cancel our new service at our renovated house for restoration of service. I have U300 and now being told that we don’t? She has no television and is afraid to order new service due to the fact of disruptions of service. In two she spoke to clost to 50 reps between the different departments and no one can seem to fix anything or get it right.
She has been hung up on, treated rudely and this is all due to a customer service error. Now we have movers coming – no service at the other address. I’m very disheartened and frankly angry that my wife was treated this way by anyone. The ticket numbers and orders are confusing and the different departments have excessive miscommunication between them – as she was told 50 different stories before finally a man told her that her service had actually been disconnected at our rental and all he could do to restore anything was cancel the tech coming out to inspect the equipment and make sure the service was operating properly.
I hope in the future inter personal skills is a must for these positions, as you are one of the more expensive bundle carriers. You are about to lose me and everyone I’ve told about how great you were, and we are all going to go back to Buckeye Cable in Toledo, OH. I will laugh when ATT comes knocking on my door. As I was typing this – my wife was just disconnected again.
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.

It is my purpose to alert you of my recent encounter w/ an AT&T retail store manager with the hope to have a better experience should the need arise for me to have to visit there ever again. On 5/3/13 I sought out a site to assist me w/ my newly purchased Gophone b/c the SIM card had locked up on me for attempting too many times to secure my phone w/ an incorrect PIN. I located the nearest store, 641 Indian Hill Blvd, Pomona, CA. Having aided me in changing my SIM card I further asked Miguel, store manager, to assist me in secring the phone, but he said he didn’t know how. I then asked him how come he didn’t know how; this was an AT&T store and I had an AT&T Phone? Obviously aggitated at my insistence for help, he then made some unsuccessful attempts before quitting and handing me off to an other sales person, Jessica, as if I was some nuisance child he couldn’t be bothered w/. Jessica, was great, she very patiently helped me seek out the answer to the question I was having difficulty solving by dialing customer service.
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.
Have feedback for AT&T?
