AT&T Complaints Continued... (Page 8)

I recently applied for the access program and qualified. I spoke to a representative and they schedule a date and time to send as technician out to my home address @ 813 Adeline Dr in Oakland California. On 12/13/17 they never showed up they reschedule for 12/14/17 and I'm still waiting for them they don't call or let me know if there is anything I can do from my part to be able to process what ever its needed as soon as possible.
Thank you

I recently bundled my AT&T wireless and DirecTV. Since that time I have been unable to access any DirecTV apps or sites. I contacted AT&T customer service today and spoke with a young lady whose name I did not get. She transferred me through to Micah in customer support division. After once again explaining to her what my problem was, she became very obstinate. I had to ask her several times to please let me finish. When I tried to explain to her that there some things on my account that got confused after the bundling, she became very unprofessional, argued with me that did not happen, and once again refused to listen to what I had to say.
I just completed going back through my account and correcting the mailing and service addresses. I was incredibly shocked at this woman's idea of customer service. She also changed the password on my account to send me a temporary one. When she did this, my email no longer worked. At the time I didn't know why, but found out after I got off the phone with her that is what happened. Once I corrected the password issue, my email began working fine.
I still cannot access any apps related to DirecTV and after searching through all the help and support online, I made the decision to ask someone. However, after being on the phone with her for over 30 minutes, my problem was not resolved, and AT&T customer service gets a terrible rating.

My family has had AT&T for the past 10 years to my dismay. Throughout this time the service has been awful I'm constantly being belittled by the employees that are trying to "help" me. We have been having issues with slow and unreliable internet for years and every time someone comes out to "fix" it they just end up testing the box saying it's all good here and walking off. The last technician that came this past August or June was the most help because he and I went through and tested the internet speed to prove my results but even when he saw the issue for himself he was unable to fix it. Every year I come home for holiday only to see that the wifi situation keeps getting worse. Someone get on this shit. I'm pissed.

In short because your time is valuable; I spoke to a rep from the retention department on 11-11-17. They offered a BOGO deal to add a line and a price of $99.00 for an additional iPhone 7. I informed them I had to call back due to needing to return to work. Today I began to contact them again through chat message. I explained again I would need to add a line and use the BOGO to get two iPhone 8 and therefore to keep everything simple instead of the iPhone 7 offer I would like to purchase 2 additional iPhone 8 phones for a total of 4 and having added a line I would have 5 lines. The chat lasted 45 minutes then I was transferred to a phone that was supposed to be a manager in Loyalty (I have been with ATT forever). The phone transferred me to a robot that disconnected me, then I was called back by sales they then transferred me back to loyalty as each department kept switching me back and forth. 2 hours on the phone and someone actually told me the first rep that I spoke to on the phone on the 11th was wrong. They should not have offered me the iPhone 7 for $99.00 as that was a promotion from 2 years ago. I explained I had been speaking to Xfinity voice and Verizon to shop for Black Friday options for the iPhone 8 and there are plenty of deals to be had. It made no sense to me to have to switch carriers to have At@t to try to win me back in less than 2 hours. I feel this type of charade is dishonest and I can't believe I was treated this way. All this should be documented in my account. Please Mr. Randall L. Stephenson, CEO learn to treat loyal customers better.

Sincerely Dan Devine

Spent an hour on the phone with your AT&T service reps and complained about background noise which is continuous in YOUR LAND LINE. Your various "reps" clearly heard it. Reps did everything to discourage me from complaining even stating they did not recognize the information I was giving them which I read from your own bill. Finally I was cut off with a curt thank you. Would somebody plz fix the annoying noise in my home phone 951 929 5714 asap or I will be forced to cut off your next months check. I would appreciate a callback asap and the clock starts running now.

Account #: 951 929 5714 1484394. PS. Nobody recognized YOUR OWN INVOICE ON YOUR OWN LETTERHEAD BUT DID RECLUCTANTLY ACKNOWLEDGE THEY WERE WORKING FOR AT&t. wHAT A WAY TO RUN A CORP.

A sales lady came to our home and we decided to switch to ATT from Spectrum. She said all installation would be free for three TVs. The installer said she had to move the wiring under the house about ten ft. in the room with the modem. The SAME room we had the spectrum wiring. She never said a word about this costing an extra fee of $55.00. The contract stipulates that any extra installation fees would be discussed with the customer. It didn't happen! We feel this is a bad way to treat seniors, one of which is a veteran.

Service was down app three days from 09/13/2017 through 9/16/17. Manager text because of my concern for the inconvenence. I was instructed to call for a credit after the boardband outage was complete for credit. I called immediately and was told I would rec a 30.00 credit. After two billing cycles l have not rec ed the credit. I called numerous times and was given a ticket #J93601302 on the three call. Last bill did not rec credit an called today 11/01/17 and was told I could get only 15.00 anothr rep stated 6.00. Asked for supervisor and was not allowed
7706962210 and 6785256681

Very ,very poor repair service.Telephone is out an average of 2 times per month.Repair service tech. takes about 3 days to arrive. They work on it long enough to fix it,I dont know how, then on average it will work about 7 or 8 days, guess what? Out again. Worse service in the world to be such a large corporation.

My complaint is your customer service reps seems to have no clue as how to treat your customers. After my u-verse was increased in August I called to see if I could get it lowered and was advised that there was nothing more that could be done. So after going basic for a few weeks the lost of the channels still did not warrant the price I was being charged. I called in September, I believe it was the 6, spoke with a rep and set up a price of $119 for 24 months if I would switch my u-verse to direct tv. Now I am being told that I am not eligible for that rate before of me having phone service since 2013, that is not what I was told, so if you cannot honor your agreement I would like you to take me out of this one sided contract so that I can look for service with another company.

The prepaid I bought from Walmart has the last three number on pin card and I have called about this and no body wants to do anything about and the store told me I had to get my time or money from the company and here is the card. All I want is my money or my time put on my phone thanks

We had trouble with my DVD and called AT&T. They had me on the phone for 2HRS.and a half. Got nothing resolved. I an so tired of getting nothing resolved . Both me and my husband are in our late 70's and its hard to be on the phone that long.

In May we called to get a land line hooked up to our house. The tech showed up and all he had to do was hook up the wires in the box outside of the house. The tech stated that he was told he was going to have to run new wire inside. I explained that I had already ran all of the wires inside the house so he would not need to do that. Tech checked the phones after he hooked them up and everything worked. The tech stated that he would note the file so we would not be charged as he did not have to do the extra work and would be approx $120 off . We received our bill with the charge on it for the Tech running the wire that he did not run. We were told that the file has been noted and sent for a Manger to approve and remove. We were told to only pay the difference and that AT&T would resolve the issue with the over charge. We have been going around since May It is now Oct. We have spoken with sever Managers and finally go the charges dropped. When the charges were dropped so was my long distance service. We have been calling for over 2 weeks trying to get our long distance service turned back on as my Wife and I work from home and this has caused a big issue. I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible I feel we have been way more than patient 6 months in the making now.

Terrible customer services!!!!
I called AT & T yesterday because my larm is beeping despite all my efforts to fix it. The lady over there "scheduled an appointment for today from 8 to 12 but nobody showed or called me, so I called customer services at 12:30 and the c.s representative told me that my appointment was open and that they called the tech who never aswered the phone and for that reason a supervisor will call me to let me know what was going on with my appointment. By the 1:30 pm after several calls, a lady told me that I did have any appointment (I request a day off at work to make this appointment). Finally I spoke with a supervisor called Charles who was very rude and who informed that my original and only appointment was scheduled for 11/7....so,, 3 more weeks heraing a bepp ....This is SO unrespetful !!!! As soon I completed my contract I will running out from this incompetent company. I missed my work day and my patience with these peple who turned ny day in a nightmare !

I have been trying to get internet at our place for 2 weeks now. I had a bundled plan with directv, I have my cable but still can't get a straight answer from anyone. I keep getting transferred to different departments, hung up on, and my credit ran every single time. I went from a 570 to a 419 in a matter of days because Everytime I call you run my credit! Why is that if I have an account already? Now my credit is too low to get service from anyone else. Was this the plan? So that I had no other option than to stay with you?

My AT&T account is 9852649108. My contact number is 985-264-9109.

This complaint is about Upper Level Customer Service personnel and NOT about the lower-level operators that answer the initial telephone calls. It is my opinion that the your 1st level operators are routinely given information by higher level managers that appease the customer when the upper lever manager has no intent of following through on the actions.

My experience involve and insurance claim that turned into a warranty claim and two and a half months of shear stupidity involving broken promises for resolution, callbacks, and credits. I cannot believe that it took AT&T from on/or about July 18, 2017 until on/or about October 11, 2017 to figure out that I had returned a telephone despite that fact that the information was publicly available via the newgistics.com website and that Customer Service Reps for AT&T and Asurion had acknowledged the return of the phone.

I easily have over four hours of phone time (conservative estimate) in trying to resolve this issue once AT&T decided that I had not returned a telephone. This does not include an initial answer as my calls have always been answered very quickly. This means that AT&t personnel also spent that much time on the phone.

I was promised a Credit for the missing phone was going to be applied at least three times. Starting with October 6, I was told three time I would be receiving a phone call from a supervisor. I never received a single phone call, message, or email from said persons. I was told three times that my problem had been escalated. So what. It did not product any results.

Why do I blame the upper-level supervisors? Because a good deal of my time was spent waiting for the agent to receive an answer or proposed action from their supervisor. This is why I don't blame the front end personnel.

Finally, I was given a number to call at Asurion where I was given a number for your Warranty Department. Problem was resolved in about two minutes. It turns out, the information had been available since July. It turns out that tracking information previously given to me by Asurion was correct and that I, as a consumer, was able to verify the device had been sent back. Why could no one tell me this before and why couldn't AT&T figure this out?

My name Rosario del Puerto my Phone 786 262 3490, my account # 152224776 under my husband name Manuel del Puerto. July 5, 2017 I talked with Mr. Sebastian I did a contract for one year for AT&T and DIRECT TV for 155.13 until April 2018. Now the bill is or 233.00. Before I wanted to cancel AT&T and Direct TV because I had very problems each month with the bill but AT&T told me that is going to give a credit for 80 dollars that why I didn't cancel it. After 3 months AT&T put me back the 80 dollars. Are you playing with me? Please try to find a solution and give a call back. Thank you Rosario/

I got a notification that my payment method failed. I realized it was the card that I had reported lost/stolen. I call and spoke to a rep becuase the system wasn't allowing me to just make the payment arrangement of ~$315.00. The rep stated that I could do it on line and then set up payment arrangements for the balance. I was able to make the $315.00 payment and was not able to set up the payment arrangement. The next rep I got named Debra was so unsympathetic and refused to listen to my explanation. She stated the entire amount was due. I informed her that I just made a $315.00 payment! She stated there was nothing she could do. I was naturally upset, because she seemed not to believe me when I told her that I made the payment and wanted to arrange for the balance. I have been a customer of AT & T since day one, having this account for over 20 years since the GTE Mobilnet days. She then stated it would be $5.00 for her to make a payment with her. I asked her to waive that fee as I really couldn't afford the $317 additional payment. She then changed her story and said she would need $100 to restore the account! I told her I get paid on Friday but she refused to assist. I got the distinct feeling that she was getting an incentive to get any kind of money, but once again I stated I just made a payment of $315.00. She had a mocking tone so I was getting upset over her attitude. She then stated that I would have a restoral fee of $35.00. I again asked her to waive that fee. Really? In all the time I have been a customer with a bill over $300.00 monthly she couldn't waive the fee? Once again I informed her it was not my fault my card was stolen ( and not to mention all the money in my wallet).

Please look into this matter and please listen to the first recording where I was misled. If reps are like that AT& T are bound to lose more customers.

I called about a replacement phone. salesperson offer buy one get on free with direct tv offer on phone for over an hour with both people
they both gave their good salesmen spill but when phones arrived I am being charged for 2 phones not one. was given miss info
called at&t customer service no help

When will my AT&T be back on - -I have no tv, no phone and no computer (using mine at work). How long will my service be out - I live in Birmingham, Alabama, zip code is 35224.
Have no complaints about U-verse...until now. There is no bad weather in the area or anything so....what happened?

Their cuatomer service is the pits! I wanted to add money to my prepaid account. The menu is not clear as to what button to push to add money to my account, so I pressed 0 to speak to a representative. I told the rep that I wanted to add money and told her the amount. She then rrpeated, "So you want to add money to your account? Everything I said, she repeated. She slso asked if it was from this phone number, and she was one digit off. Whatever happened to quick and efficient service?

The reason why I have been calling to add money this year is because I am dissatisfied with the way they have been handling the auto pay option, which I had for a few years with no problem - I had a certain amount taken out the 5th of the month and it was great! All of a sudden, they stopped withdrawing the money and after 2 months, I got a recorded message that my minutes were about to run out in 7 days. When I called to complain, I was on the phone with customer service for a half hour because she repeated everything I said. I then sent a letter to the President/CEO and I received a call from his assistant informing me that they don't withdraw the payment until two days before they expire. So for 5 days before, I would have to hear a recorded message before I make any call that my minutes are due to expire. MY REASON FOR WANTING TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT WITHDRAWN ON A CERTAIN DAY OF THE MONTH IS TO AVOID WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!! WHAT PART OF THIS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND??? And who trains these customer service reps to repeat everything back to you with every sentence? What I want is to go back to have a certain amount taken out of my account on a certain day of EVERY MONTH, no matter how much I have in my account!!!

I have internet service for one year at $50.00 monthly. In August I received notice that my year would end in September and to contact AT&T prior to 09/15/2007. I contacted Terrell and asked if I could continue at $50 per month and explained my financial situation. He left a voicemail stating it would continue for 12 months at $50.00. I also received an order confirmation to that effect. However, the new confirmation was effective in August instead of September and contrary to what was promised, I received a bill for 60.00. If this could not be accomplished, Terrell should not have promised this. My concern is that AT&T failed to live up to the written and verbal confirmation. Then I was told if I cancelled, I would be liable for charges. Why? Since I was not given the arrangement that was agreed upon. Why should I be penalized for not receiving what I was promised. If necessary, i can send you the audio recording.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to relay my great dissatisfaction with the services I received recently from AT&T. I am a disabled, elderly woman on a fixed income and appalled with the run around and poor customer service I was given as I attempted to retain services at my new residence. As a customer of AT&T of over 8 years, I had been pleased with the services provided, but this current ordeal has lasted over four months (from May 2017 to present), as I have been told incorrect information, stood up for appointments and promised things that have not come fruition. I would like to provide a brief overview of the egregious manner in which my case has been handled in hopes that something can be done.
In May of 2017, I moved to a new residence and requested that my cable services be instated at that location. Upon contacting AT&T customer service to begin the process, I was told that I had AT&T gear that I needed to return in order to clear the previous account. I told them that the items had been returned, but the system did not reflect that I had done so. Over a month and a half passed and numerous follow up calls later to verify if the account was cleared, I was continually told that the items were still shown on my account. This was a tremendous stressful situation for me, not to mention prolonged period of time that I did not have services in my new home. All the representatives I spoke to did not take the time to research the situation any further, which was perplexing to me to say the least.
I was finally able to speak to a manager and able to plead my situation for assistance. It was found that the account was cleared and I was promised a $200 gift card and a reduction in monthly services to $80 per month for phone, internet and cable for my inconvenience. The installation of services was ordered and scheduled at that time. The tech did not show up on the day and allotted, which was another added stress to an already absurd situation. When I called to advise AT&T that the tech did not come as scheduled, they researched and advised me that a $100 advance payment was needed, which I was not told about beforehand. If I had known this information during the initial call, I would have been prepared to pay it, but as I mentioned, I am on a fixed income and did not have the funds to retain the services at that time. More time passed and I saved the money to get the services, which I was then told that due to my credit, I had to pay a $449 non-refundable fee to obtain services, which I was not able to negotiate. An option for Direct TV was offered to me as the only option of services in my circumstance, which I had to check with my landlord to ensure that it was okay to have the equipment placed on the residence. The representative stated they would call me back, but never did so. Again, I had to call the AT&T customer service department back to say that I was interested in the Direct TV services. Hopeful at that point, I set up a new installation date. The tech arrived and again I was dismayed to find that he only bought hook ups for 2 rooms, which I had ordered 3. I called yet another time to verify the actual order and was able to get the situation rectified. At this point, as you can see after much time and stress, I finally received cable services after 4 months, but have yet to receive the internet and any of the guarantees I was promised from previous interactions with the company. I am hopeful that the company is interested in compensating me and my family for the blatant disregard for time and poor customer service it has displayed over the past 4 months, as it has definitely soured the perception of AT&T in my mind.
If there are any further questions or information needed pertaining to this situation, I can be reached at 619-715-0776 at your soonest. Minimally, I would like to receive some type of acknowledgement of this situation from the company to ensure that this is addressed in an appropriate manner because no one should have to enter such a stressful ordeal just to obtain internet, phone and cable services in their home. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

I ordered a new SIM card because the old one didn't work, but with one time visit at&t store, one time phone order, one time online chat order, and more than two week's waiting, I got no SIM card. When I talk to the online customer service, chatting with a person named Jennifer, the woman is even worse. I think I deserved a refund for so long a time not being served, but she didn't think so, and without asking if there is any question, she finished the chat!

My youngest son called a the week before to get service on Saturday, September 9th. Came to my house so that he could assist the AT&T service people with any questions. He spent a good part of the morning trying to find out where the service tech was. Speaking to someone in another country who knew nothing. I called later in the afternoon on Saturday to see why they still had not shown up to come check our equipment, since we believed that Hurricane Harvey had fried our receiver. This was a no show and a lot of static on the phone. Now I am being sent out new equipment that should arrived today (Tuesday, Sept 12) . What service, I am so tired of being jerked around with them. 281-484-4902

My oldest son had the same experience yesterday at his apartment NO SHOW, NO CALL- This service SUCKS!! 346-900-3989
So you know what AT&T Uverse needs to reimburse us for our time and does not deserve even one gold star.

I was ATT Corporate store Employee. I was getting 50% discount. I lost job on 27th July 2017. I called same day to customer service to know up to which date I will get discount and they said up to that billing cycle. On 19th August I went to Beltline ,irving store and changed plan from post paid to prepaid and next month I got bill around 106 dollars. I did chat with customer service they adjusted amount and told me to pay $ 73.97, which I pad immediately. Still I was seeing 32.50 still needed to pay. I again called customer service and told them that I changed my plan the very first day and they said still I have to pay $32.50. As I was charged for whole month even though I have not used it. From her tone she was not ready to look in the matter or asking supervisor and was not ready to give me email added for making complaints. I am very upset with this. As an employee I was always feeling proud for working for my company and Team and I thought they will help me out as much as they can.My account no, is 177056942461. Please help me. Thanks.

Ive been a loyal customer of att for over 10 years. I bought my house and moved in 2 1/2 years ago. I transferred my u-verse to my house. I had noting but problems with it going in and out all the time. Countless phone calls and men coming to my home would never solve the problems. They convinced me that by installing direct tv, drilling into my brand new roof to install a dish would solveall these problems. I expressed concerns about my new roof having holes drilled into it. Att said it was the best option. Direct tv never worked properly. I had so many outages with internet and tv going down all the time. By all the time, I mean many times per week. I was charged 100 the day they came with the service man telling me I had to pay this fee or they would not install it. Then I find out I never should have been charged this because I was a current att customer. I never got reimbursed for this. Finally, after over a year of this, with service men coming out 5x in one week we decided to cancel due to att not providing the service in the contract they promised. The past 6 weeks, I have been on the phone with att to get the termination fees reversed as they told me they would do. The final bill is almost 321.00. I have been transferred 11 times in one almost 3 hour call, hung up on, the managers, customer care people and billing managers that promised this bill is being escalated and would be reversed in 24 hours, stated they would leave notes in my file, it is still not taken care of. Now my credit scare reflects late payment. I have a great credit scare and this does not sit lightly with me. The notes they state they cannot find. The agent id numbers I give them, they refuse to look up and ask them. I have asked for the ceo email or name to file a complaint, they refused to give me any name or email. They never reimbursed all the money I aid for services I could not use. ATT is quick to take all my payments, never late once in 10 years, but as soon as you cancel, they shun you. I'm to the point I am going to call my attorney and let him handle it. Why can't they reverse the charges and just do the RIGHT THING? Do NOT get att service. They do not take care of their customers before, during or after service.

Hello,
I have tried to submit a complaint 4 times and get an error, talk again message only AFTER I finish filling out the form and submitting.
On Wednesday Sept. 6, 2017 between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. EST my UVerse U200 cable went out briefly. When it reset and came back up local Indianapolis channel 13 WTHR had been taken off the lineup and was no longer available. I found that there is a contract dispute between ATT and WTHR.

To be clear I am not upset with WTHR, I am ANGRY with ATT. This type of contract dispute should NOT affect or involve customers!!
Customers pay a high cost for cable and if they want cable they have to pay it. This channel is not available since last night and still not available. I am still paying for cable! It may seen like a small thing since it is one channel BUT it is the principle that this type of thing is passed on to customers. If WTHR does not want to pay what ATT is asking, that should NOT AFFECT CUSTOMERS.

I am strongly considering leaving ATT. I will be following up and continue to voice my complaint through all resources.

Hello,
On Wednesday, September 6, 2017 between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. EST, my UVerse U200 cable went off for a brief moment. When it reset itself and the cable came back on, local Indianapolis channel WTHR was not available. It seems there is some dispute between WTHR and AT&T re: money. So WTHR, cable channel 13, is unavailable to me, a paying customer.

Let me be clear-I am NOT upset with WTHR. I am ANGRY with AT&T. Contract and money disputes should not affect customers who pay quite a lot for cable. If WTHR does not justify paying what AT&T wants, it should NOT AFFECT CUSTOMERS!

I am strongly considering leaving AT&T. Cable charges are way too high and people have to pay it if they want cable. Now this.

I will be voicing my complaint to AT&T in any way I can and will continue to follow.

Thank you

I have been having trouble with my land line phone for some time now . I called to have my lines worked on , the first guy that came out here said the problem was down town . and they would have to fix it down there . a while went by and i was still having trouble . so i called again . they said they would send some one out in 2 weeks . the next guy came out he said it was the underground wire out on peachorchard rd and he was not authorized to go under ground . so i waited longer for someone to fix it . when nothing was happening and i was still having trouble with the phone service i called again and asked if they were going to take some money off my bill because the phone service was not right still . he told me he would take 27.00 off .that was aug 8 to the 15 . it is now sept . l have tryed to get the phone fixed from before july . and still having trouble with the phone service . I think i should not be charged for service until it is fixed or turn off the phone until the company can fix this .the only other thing i can think of doing is to report it to the bbb. because im not getting nothing done like this . and to think when i call to report the problem they try to sell me more services . i dont think so if you cant get one service fixed.

I spent over 20 minutes on the line holding to complain about exposed wires in my garden. I am a DirectTV customer but I did not have a service call but apparently my neighbors did. I spoke to 2 ATT techinicians that were on site.
I am on hold not for another 10 minutes and still waiting for resolution so submitting this as well.
The one told me that he wasn't the one to burry wires. It is unsafe and very unsightly for my yard to have exposed wires. I have landscapers coming this week to work in that area of my yard to clean it out.
This needs immediate attention.
thank you

I signed up for new Internet and Direct TV services based on a advertisement sent to me home. the deal was for a 2 year contract I would recive Internet TV for $55 a month with a $20 discount on my mobile phone bill and a $100 Visa card
The day of insulation the rep told me Direct TV could not be used even thought I had this service before. The only option was universe and that would be an additional $25 per month but all of the services were the same. Today I called because I had no premium channels per the deal. I found out my monthly cost is $133 per month and after 2.5 hours with your customer service I'm told the only thing I can d is cancel service
I would never have switched had the prices be HONESTLY told to me at insulation.

After 1.4 hours on the phone a team manger named Vaughn was rude and condensing telling me I lied about the package bought. This experience has left me doubting that AT&T is a quality organization
I fully expect AT&T to honor the CONTRACT we agreed too

When switching to at&t from Verizon I was offered a promotional deal to cover the cost of my cancellation fee (up to $650). Then later on I was asked if I wanted at&t to buy my cell phones or keep them and sell them. We asked how much they would be willing to buy them for, AT&T offered $200 each ($400 total, they were in really good shape). We figured we would probably only get $125 each, so sounded like a good idea. We had the manager come over to confirm that the "deals" were separate; One deal to buy our phones. Second deal cover cancellation fee up to $650.

We got our final bill from Verizon, took it into the at&t store and they uploaded everything and we were told we are good to go. We would get 2 visa giftcards in about 8 weeks ($220 each to cover the cancellation). All is well with the world.

Then I get the email stating that my cards have been approved and put in the mail... $20 each. WHAT?!?! At this point I click the link attached to this email to discover that they are NOT separate deals and that you had to trade in your phones and they DO subtract it from the amount they are going to "cover" for you to switch. Not to mention all this happens after your first 30 days so you can't just cancel.

I called customer service only to be transferred 4 times, totally over 2 hours, just to be informed that they are not AT&T (they are a third party - Extra Measures) and cannot do anything and they suggested that I go to the store, but it doesn't matter because they told me wrong and at&t will not honor it.

So I go to the store, wait 30 mins just to be signed in. But I was happy to see both the girl that helped us and the same manager were working that offered us the deal. I was told when I checked in that they can text me when I’m next in line if I want to run some errands, but she would wait if it was her because they were moving fast and had 2 more employees coming in. I wait another 45 mins and don’t get either the girl or the manager. I explain to the nice new lady what all happened and that $400 is a good chunk of change and I want it. She writes everything down and says she has to talk to the Manager (super nice about everything). After 15 mins of her and Manager in the back room, they both come out and walk over to me. The Manager then starts to tell me that I somehow misunderstand and that herself and the girl that tried to help us the first time are “actually really good about explaining the deal” so there is no way she told me that. I explained again and she claimed she would never say that and there is nothing they can do. Again “she is really good at explaining it and we have to trade in our phones.” I say, again, BOTH my husband and I didn’t misunderstand you, we confirmed several times. She just shakes her head at me. At this point I am so angry I just start to cry (not ball, but I ask for a minute). I tell them I will have to talk to my husband and walk out thanking the new lady that tried to help me. I had to leave because it was either I leave now or I throw a BIG SCENE.

I am tired of being lied to. I just want what I was promised that made me switch to at&t. Sprint offered the same deal (but explained it better, because we understood the cell phones would come out of the $650), but that is why we went with at&t – we thought they were offering a better deal. That is also why we ASKED SEVERAL times are “you sure these are separate deals?” That is why we asked the MANAGER to come over to make sure we understood them correctly! So, in other words Sprint and at&t were/are offering the same deal, however at&t is doing a bait and switch (aka lying about it until you are a customer).

My question... how do I make AT&T honor the promotion I was promised when signed,because they wait after the 30 day period so I can no longer cancel without HUGE fees?

AT&T digital life is the worst product on the market. They came out to repair one digital door lock that had a key. The new digital door long no longer had a key. Needless to say, it did not function and lock me out of my home. I had to pay a locksmith $180 to break me into my back door, currently the only door that works. They have promised me over and over phone calls, on site visits to correct the problem, supervisor phone calls, etc. – Nothing has happened. I have been with AT&T for over a decade I spent in excess of $8700 a year with them on their wireless plans Internet and DirecTV. At the very least they should treat me with respect They do not. If they cannot treat someone who spends the kind of money that I spend with them with a modicum of respect then how are they going to spend the average AT&T user. I am demanding to be let loose of my digital life contract immediately and I will be taking my phones elsewhere in addition to my high-speed Internet and I will be dealing with DIRECTV one on one without AT&T and Bault if that is not possible I will deal with dish network. AT&T is officially Lost all my am business. We live in a capitalist society and the only thing that these big corporations understand is the loss of money. It has been three days now and I still cannot get into my front door; The last customer service person this morning had the audacity to tell me that there is a technician coming to my house today but no one has called me to see if I would even be home today to receive a technician. This treatment is out rages. They have lied to me now on four separate occasions for this one instance

I went to at&t to ask about switching from Verizon. the sales rep at the Quakertown pa store advised that there would be 3 gift cards for 650.00 so I wouldn't owe Verizon anything. I offered to pay the deposits on the phones at that time. However the sales rep used the credits for the deposits on the phones without my authorization. I am stuck with a 1500.00 bill from Verizon which now has me in collections .I traded in 2 Iphone7 and an IPhone 7 plus I got credit for 3 IPhone 7's. I am also going to contact better business and file a complaint . I have been to the store in Quakertown the day after I switched and several times after that with no resolution. If I knew this was going to happen I would have stayed with Verizon
I did try and contact the regional manager and they would not return my call . My supervisor at work advised she has had the same issue and is filing a complaint with bbb and she is going back to Verizon. I will also be leaving att and advising anyone I know not to switch to att. If you are trying to send away customers this is a good way to go about it. I am so sorry I ever left verizon

I spent four and a half hours today calling AT&T customer service regarding my account. I had a new bundled account with Direct TV, landline phone with unlimited long distance and internet that was to take effect in December 2016 and was a 12 month agreement. I have not received the same bill two months in a row. I have called every month and been told things that I knew were not correct. Today was no exception. I was disconnected numerous times. There were a few representatives that were rude and clearly were not going to assist me. A forty plus year customer should be one that you would want to keep. Not so. When they can not tell you why your bill has not been the same for eight months in a row and are rude you no longer have my respect. Asking you to read your bill to them while they look at it on their end and say "good job" is unacceptable. I did my work by keeping records of names, dates and times. They will say anything to get you off the phone. They do not even think about some of the ridiculous things they are saying and when you call it to their attention they just stop talking or hang up on you. Looks like you would WANT to retain long standing customers. Guess AT&T does not care.

Landline goes dead often. Phone has been dead for almost 2 weeks. Previous request to check line with no results. Tired of paying bill when service is not available. Mrs. Jackson is 100 yrs. old and needs her phone to work in case of an emergency. She furthers needs a reduction of monthly bill charged because of her age and service of the phone.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. This is our 3rd request to fix the landline of 615-895-1312.

On 8/15/17 I contacted AT&T to change my U-Verse TV package to reduce cost. Since I also have my landline, internet & cellphone services with AT&T I requested any other "deals" for these 3 additional service. That call ended with reduced costs for TV, landline & internet but not cellphone. Several days later I received in the mail a printout of the changes. All 3 (TV, Internet & landline) changes/reduced costs were incorrect. On 8/21/17 I contacted AT&T regarding these errors & at end of that phone conversation was guaranteed all errors would be corrected. On 8/28/17, 1:20a.m., when the changes to the U-Verse TV package happened, a number of channels were not included that were guaranteed to be available. This began a series of phone conversations with 3 different representatives on 8/28/17 & the error is still not corrected. The final conversation ended with the representative telling me someone will contact me in approx. 1 week regarding the additional TV channels that should have been included in the revised U-Verse TV package. It is extremely frustrating that a change to a TV package & revised costs for these 3 services can not be coordinated by AT&T in a timely manner. Each time I talked with representatives (different city, different reps, etc.) they all indicated incorrect information/data had been entered by the previous representative. Nothing like "passing the buck", so professional. Any AT&T Customer Service rep anywhere in the country should have immediate access to each customer's complete "file", including previously quoted costs, dates of service requests/changes, etc. I have recently retired from almost 40 years in the Hospitality industry. I have hundreds of contacts in various organizations, companies, groups, businesses & associations throughout the US that I will gladly share this AT& horror story with immediately.

I have tried a dozen times to get someone to change my service to make my bundled internet and Directv affordable. Customer service keeps transferring me to another department then hanging up. This is the worst service I have ever had. I will try once more then cancel it all.

Two different days last week I visited the at&t store at highway 152 and Flintlock Rd in Liberty, Missouri. Both days I was greeted by a woman named Sue. She was very cold the first visit and the second time, 9/27/16, she was rude and not helpful at all. I finally went around her and asked my question to a representative. He was very patient and helpful.

Bought the new Samsung 7 Edge at buy one get one free. They charged me full price on both phones and refuse to make things right. I have been with AT&T since 2003, but I will be finding a new carrier this weekend. If I could have given 0 stars, I would have.

I have been trying iPhone and iPad unlocked for two weeks after paying off the balance on each device. I've called numerous times to get this issue resolved, and each time a representative promised to call me back within 24-48 hours, but I have never received a return call. My wife has been without a phone for the past two weeks. I cannot go to another phone carrier because the phone is locked, and AT&T has purported that the IPhone has not been paid off. I have a receipt date August 31, 2016 that shows both devices have been paid in full. This is really frustrating, and I want to get this resolved as soon as possible.

I spoke to Jessica Fox who is a collection specialist on September 12, 2016 around 5:56 pm. She was trying to compare AT&T's business to gas, which was very unprofessional. She also agreed with me about downsizing and switching to another company. I think Jessica needs more training, she should never agree with the customer on those terms. If so, there would not be an AT&T and she is not representing the company in the appropriate manner.

I have had intermittent internet service (Uverse) for 3 weeks now. I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone yesterday with a AT&T rep trying to resolve the issue. My internet was completely out at the time. After all the tests she told me she could,t resolve the issue. She set me up for a service call today from 1:00 to 4:00PM. I waited here during that time. No one came & no one called. After 4:00 pm I called only to find out due to "overbooking" they couldn't make it. I am 72 years old & remember when At&T was a professional company that could be depended on to follow through on commitments. What has happened to this company?

First I want to say that AT&T is the worst company I have ever had to deal with in my whole life when it comes to customer care. I have been lied to continuously for 6 months now and with no resolution thus far. I would think that with a corporation as big as AT&T, you would have better customer care and make sure there are resolutions that do not keep lingering for over 6 months. I have an existing account with you (acct. #152144336 Jordan Douglass) as of now. I will talk about that issue at the end though.

The issue I want to complain about first is about account # 119331175 Jordan Douglass. This account is closed and was one that we had back at an older place we lived at in 2012. When we moved to a new resident we had to get another internet provider since you did not service that area at the time. When we left your company we were told that there was no need to return equipment since it was outdated anyway, so we boxed it up and put it in the closet during moving. I left it there and when we moved to the new place this year I found it and did not throw it away.

We moved from that area as of April 2016 and into the AT&T service area and got new service with you. So here is the problem.....When we moved here in April 2016 I called ATT&T and asked about service here for internet, cable and phone (landline) I was told by your agent that in order to get service here I would have to pay for equipment that was not returned from old account and also pay the $481.00 equipment fee until they receive it and once received they would reimburse/refund me my $481.00 back within 30 days after receipt of equipment.

I made sure I asked the AT&T agent if I would get my money back in that time frame with no issues and they assured me I would. That was a lie. I just want to say that the only reason I never returned the equipment in the first place back in 2012 is because we were told there was no need since it was outdated equipment. That was also a lie. I returned the equipment April 26,2016 and your company received it April 28,2016. I waited a month before I called to inquire about my refund on that equipment I was promised by AT&T's people. They told me that it would be another 30 days. I waited and did not receive anything. I called again and was told by an agent that it takes 90 days to get a refund, not 30 days.

So since it was past 60 already I would only have to wait another 30 days. The agent also said that if I didn't want to wait that long I would be able to get that $481.00 credit to my new account. I asked if that was the ONLY option at the time and she said "No, you can wait 30 days and get a check or get a credit right now to new account" I opted to wait 30 more days. This was a lie. I called again and spoke with an agent who was a supervisor. We discussed the whole situation and at the end of the conversation he assured me that I would be contacted with in5-7 business days by someone after they listen to the calls where the agents made those promises and lied to me. He said that IF they see that the agents lied, I would be getting a credit in the amount of $481 to my new account or a refund.

That was over a month ago. I did not get a call. I have called several times and I get the same old story that someone will be returning my call that day and no one does. I have to repeat this over and over and over every time I call and then again when I am transferred. I am s tired of repeating myself. I just want your company to do what they Promise and just give me the money I am owed. You got your equipment, Now I just want my money and or credit so I can be done with this and move on. I do not want to mess with this further, but if there is no resolution I will find a way to reach out to someone else and resolve this matter.

The other issue is with the New service. Where I live the cables/wires/lines for our internet and phone service is on the ground and every month we have to contact you to send out service men to repair them. There are power poles out here and our community is wondering why you do not put them on the poles. I work from home and so does my neighbor and we need our internet and phone service in order to do our jobs. We can't work if there is no service. I have had to miss a whole day of work due to the neglect of fixing this problem. I will be very unhappy if I lose my job over this continuance of outage due to your company's lack of taking care of the problem.

Again, as of Now, I am a customer. All I am asking is to resolve these issues. Your company is not supposed to be some shabby fly by night company, but as of now it feels like it is. I would like to think that you take pride in your company and care about the customers that support you. If it was not for the customers, you would not be a company, am I right? So with that being said, I would like to think that you would attend to this matter so that we can move forward without further ado.

You do not need to write me and tell me that I am not getting a refund or credit because it was returned way after the allotted time, because that has already been said and I do understand that now. But I also understand that your agents know this policy as well and should not be making promises you can't stand by. I would not have bothered returning outdated equipment if I was told that I was going to have to pay for it anyway. Do you understand where I am coming from on that? It just sounds like your company lied to me and told me that just to get money out of me on April 2016. That is just bad business ethics.

I wish I could give AT&T a ZERO rating. No, a negative zero rating. This is a popular company only because it's a monopoly and a hated one at that! Back in the 80s and part of the 90s they were pretty good because they'd inherited many of the former Bell employees who were among the best of the best as far as excellent customer service goes (Pacific Bell, Southern bell, etc. The services this company offers is now very crappy, they don't care about their customers and the service is terrible, especially their U-Verse Internet and telephone services, and VERY expensive, too.

Most times the service provided is not even up to par, but we put up with it because we want to get onto the internet. The Internet is slow to response no matter how many Mbps' the customer is paying for in order to try to use the internet. These problems, of course are only going to get worse, especially after Obozo hands the internet over to the ungodly UN for them to begin censoring what we will be able to do with internet after they take it over. In the meantime, a pox on your houses and on your headquarters, AT&T, you nasty, no-good, evil hard-to-do-business.

I joined AT&T last April based on a promotion for the iPhone, buy one get one free promotion. Based on this I opened 4 lines. The BOGO promotion was supposed to go into effect after 45 days. It never happened. I have made over 12-15 calls to ATT since May/June trying to get this resolved. I was told it takes 2-3 months for the BOGO to go into effect. Again, not what I was told when I joined. After 3 months still no BOGO. I have called, I have spoken to multiple supervisors, I have had multiple tickets opened, all with no resolution.

I am being told today that a ticket that was opened on 8/22 as urgent is still not resolved. I am also being told today 9/7/16, that it clearly indicates that the BOGO should have gone into effect for me, but it was put in incorrectly?? After 3-4 months of me paying over $300/month, this can't be resolved? I am also writing a complaint letter to corporate headquarters with a more formal complaint, including names of the repa sand supervisors I have spoken with. I have had cell phones for 20 years and this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I would never recommend ATT to anyone.

I called on August 24th because my U-Verse cable was receiving some pixelated images. A technician was sent to my property and determined it was a wiring issue. He contacted a second technician and left. The second technician arrived and did some work outside with the wires, he determined we would experience a service outage of a couple of hours up to three days while the issue was resolved. I called on August 25th to check the status of the repair. I was then told that it had been escalated to a contractor since dig work was required to repair the wires and that the project had an estimated completion date of August 31st. Since I work from home, I attempted to see if AT&T could provide me with a mobile hotspot while my internet service was down.

They could not do this for me but adjusted my account an additional $50--they claimed this was for the cost of the device and the service. They advised I go to a local AT&T store to get this hotspot and add it on the account. When I arrived at the store I was informed the device itself was $50 and the service was an additional $50. I was so unhappy with this blatant lie from the customer service rep I had spoken to that I went to T-Mobile and walked out with a hotspot and 6 GBs of data for $28. Throughout the proceeding days, I kept contacting AT&T to inform them that I had not seen any dig work being done around my property or neighborhood. They insisted that I be patient. On August 31st, I called twice --once in the morning and once in the evening.

The morning of the 31st I was told that there was a window from 8AM to 8PM for the work to be completed. When I called in the evening, I was told that the work had not yet been completed--or even started for that matter--and that I would be contacted the next day. I was not contacted on the 1st and I called myself to figure out what was happening. Now the project had an estimated completion date of September 7th. I attempted to call billing and see if my account could be adjusted and the "account expert" that I spoke to was horrendously rude.

First, she insisted that I had an overdue balance of $50 and this was the reason my services had been suspended. When I explained the situation to her and told her how unhappy I was and that I was considering switching all of my services (cable, internet, 3 mobile phone lines and home security) she told me--and I quote--"I highly doubt you have any type of home security, much less AT&T home security".

When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she informed me she would be transferring me and promptly hung up. Later that day I saw an AT&T technician outside of my property. He informed me he was checking the wires (despite already knowing it was a wiring issue). He told me that whenever the contractors get there, it would probably take three working days to repair the cables. I called technical support who told me the contractor would contact me the following morning between 8 AM and 12 PM to keep me updated.

On September 2, having not received a call from the contractor, I contacted AT&T again. This time I was told that there is a ticket but no one has been assigned to the ticket. AT&T has no information regarding when this work will be done and I have been without service (cable and internet) for over 9 days now. If the technician was correct and it takes three working days to do the dig work for the cables, the earliest I can expect my services returned is September 6th. And I highly doubt this work will even be done then since no one has been assigned. I have had an awful experience and immensely regret switching to AT&T. I wish I could give zero stars and go back in time before I ever decided to switch to AT&T U-Verse.

I have been with AT&T since I was first allowed to have a cell phone in high school in 2001. I got my own line in 2008. My aunt even retired from Pacific Bell before it became AT&T. I have never had anything negative to say about AT&T until my experience the other day. I’ve loved AT&T so much my household has almost every single possible product AT&T owns or is partnered with ranging from U-verse to internet to DirecTV. Anything you can think of my family has owned it at one point in time.

My issue and situation started on Saturday August 20th, 2016 with a suspension notice notifying me that I need to pay $283.06 by Tuesday August 23rd, 2016 or my lines would be suspended. When I received this letter, I was shocked because having a cell phone is so crucial to my business as a realtor and a small business owner. I immediately called customer service 5 minutes later and spent 25 minutes on the phone with a customer service representative by the name of Brittany. Brittany was very helpful and we went through all of my bill payments for the last 6 months. She assured me on Saturday that my service would not be suspended because there was no notification in her system about that. My phone bill is due on the 2nd of every month. I know that if I can not use my cell phone I can not make money to pay my other bills.

After speaking to Brittany, I was assured that everything is fine. I woke up Wednesday morning at about 7am PST to get ready for my 8am training to prepare for my travel trip next week out of the state. As soon as I was about to dial in, I was shocked to find out that my service had been suspended. I immediately called in to speak with a customer service representative who was very nice and I mentioned to her my situation. I had mentioned to her how impossible it is for me to have a past due balance on a bill where the due date hasn’t even came up yet. She told me that there was nothing she could do and I would be responsible for the $283.06. She then did mention that I would not have to pay a bill until October if I paid the $283.06 which clearly didn’t make any sense to me. She then apologized and said sorry while also wishing me luck.

I then hung up and called back a hour later. After being on hold for about 30 minutes the second time, I hung up. At this point, it was already 10am and I had to get ready for a meeting at 11. After I got out of my meeting, I called from my office phone to clear up this issue. The customer service representative I spoke when I first got through went through my last 4 months of bills and payments and was still saying that I would be responsible for the balance. I mentioned to her that why am I suspended for being current. I stressed how many business appointments I’ve missed and travel arrangements. I also have 2 members in emergency surgery that I needed to get updates on. She then transferred me over to a supervisor named Camille who was helping me.

I had been on the phone with the first customer service representatives for over 30 minutes before I was transferred to the supervisor. The supervisor heard of my issue and then went to do her due diligence and saw that my file was current and sent the request over to reinstate my service. By this time it was already 2:30 and lost the majority of my day. I work a lot with the east coast and central time zones so the vast majority of my day was shot. I asked Camille to speak with her supervisor to let her know about how great of a job she did helping me with my issue. I spoke to her floor supervisor and stressed how much of a hassle this has been because I have lost so much of my day for an issue that was not my fault.

I was trying to have the supervisor understand the importance of my issue and how I felt it should be fixed. All the supervisor did was just rush to get me off and transfer me back to Camille. After she transferred me back we just hung up. I have never had such an issue with any of my AT&T products ever in my 15 years of usage. I feel it shouldn’t have taken 6 hours to rectify this issue and I feel I should be definitely discounted or compensated for this . I called today to formally file my complaint and they informed me that my phone bill went up $77 and after reviewing the account they're not going to do anything about it and the account charges is valid. They also mentioned they would suspend service if the past due and the increase isn't paid.
