We have been with AT&T and the company they previously bought out for 8-10 years. Our business is in a poor and rural community and we rely on contracts with the US Federal Probation Department and other contracts to survive in this area. 90% of our patients are Native American from the surrounding reservations. Our business gets paid once per month, and as per contract they have any day up to the last day of the month (unless there is a department issue) to mail our checks. They do not have a direct deposit.

Our business is in Rapid City, SD, and our checks are mailed from Sioux Falls, SD, after approval from Pierre, SD. Our business survives from check to check because of the low-income area we service and the business does not have State or Federal monetary support and does not have a savings account. The reason I'm explaining this is because I have had checks returned because the checks did not come in as expected or a payment arrangement could not be kept because the check did not come in on time. As our payment history with AT&T shows even with our difficulties we have always paid the bill.

This month, December 2012, our check was delayed because of the 3 year contract updates with the US Federal Probation Department. I had received an email from AT&T showing our cell phones would be shut off if not paid by the 20th of December. Instead of just waiting for the 20th I called and made a payment arrangement for the 10th with the Debit Card, knowing our check is mailed from Sioux Falls on Thursdays and received in Rapid City on Saturday afternoon mail and the payment would be put on the debit card.

Unfortunately, on Monday, 12-11-2012, the administrator in charge of issuing the checks sent an email stating the officers had not turned in the updated contract client travel forms so our check were not approved last week but would be issued this Thursday, 12-13-2012. I called AT&T immediately to let them know of my problem and was eventually put through to a manager who basically told me there was absolutely nothing they could do because I had already made a payment arrangement and broke it.

I explained that this has happened to us in our history with AT&T on several occasions and because we have always make our payments ($300.00 to $400.00 a month) AT&T had always supported us by not shutting off the service but would charge us a disconnect fee that we were glad to pay for the support. The manager could care less and did not care to discuss the issue with me any further. So, in desperation I called on Tuesday, 12-11-2012, and explained my situation once again.

After the man (I believe his name was Nicolas) gave me the same explanation I asked him if he could put me through the save department (which I had been put through once before in my history and they had helped keep service alive). He asked me if I was going to discontinue service with AT&T and I told him that if after as many years and as much money I had with AT&T and they could not wait 5 more days for a cash payment for the late payment and also the new payment then, of course, why would I want to stay with this company. He asked me to wait while he put me on hold to discuss the issue. He returned and told me that he could not set up a new payment arrangement but would put a note that the service would not be shut off until Saturday, 12-15-2012, if that payment was not made.

I stated what he told me back to him to ensure that what he said was correct, thanked him and felt relieved. Today, 12-13-2012, our phones were shut off! I called and was put through to a manager who stated that because the phones were shut off today even the "save" department could not help, and the rep that I had spoken with did not have the authority to tell me that our phones would not be shut off until 12-15-2012. I asked the manager if it was AT&T policey for reps to blatantly lie to their customers? Also, because of the lie and then having the phones shut off that now the "save" department could not intervene, "Was that my fault?"

So, in summary, I was given a payment arrangement for 12-11-2012 that I could not make but was given 24 hours to get the money on the debit card and still be charged the disconnect fee. The next day I was told that because of my situation that a payment arrangement could not be made but they would put a note on file not to shut off phone until Saturday with promise to make both payments. On 12-13-2012, two days later the phones were shut off and the manager stated he was sorry I was "lied" to but there was nothing he could do. So, as of 10:00 am this morning we have 3 patients that cannot contact us if they needed transportation to our office and have not shown up for their therapy sessions. I understand that AT&T needs to be paid for allowing us to have service with them.

That is a given! But the unprofessional and non-customer service related way the "managers" have handled this situation is unforgiveable! If anyone one of the 3 patients are in distress and can not reach us at this time - it is unforgiveable! If the rep had not "lied" to me I would have had time to contact all patients for this weeks therapy and warn them that our phone service would not be available until Saturday and other arrangements would have been made!

I am absolutely astounded how AT&T management after all of these years and all of the thousands of dollars are business has spent with AT&T decided to punish us. This is another example of how our country has lost empathy for the "little people" and "poor people" who are paying their taxes and working to help underprivelaged citizens.

Although we are late at times we pay the extra fees for the honor of your phone service and ALWAYS make our payments and fees. Our business is very sorry that we have caused your multi-million dollar business difficulty. And, I would like anyone who gives a damn (I'm positive this will not be read or it will be read and thrown in the shredder) to know that as a small, disadvantaged, minority business that is just making it day to day never turns away a patient who cannot pay today, but can pay in the near future. Our patients are not just a number, they are human beings and we have empathy. Sorry for taking up your time with our trivial issue with your company! Sincerely, Gina Fiferman.

I am really screwed. I admit it was my fault but I sent my credit card payment to my closed AT&T account. It was a huge amount of money and I thought it would bounce back. WRONG. It was placed in some black hole account in the middle of nowhere where I have to dig and stratch to even get them to acknowledge they have my money. I have talked to 15 different people at AT&T and not one of them cares or if they pretend to care, they won't do anything about it.

I have had three people promise to call me back and not one person did. I can eventually get through to accounts receivable but they cannot connect to what ever black hole AT&T customer service department has my money. The best I have heard is hold my breath and wait for a check in three weeks. I cannot believe that this is the way a company would treat someone. IT IS MY MONEY and they have it by accident. I have friends who have done the same thing without all the hassel.

When I said it was AT&T I had each person say "you are screwed". Yes I tried to reverse it through my bank when it happened. Yes I called AT&T immediately (within 30 minutes) of them getting my money. That was over a week ago and it took this long just to locate it. In the meantime I have beeen insulted, disregarded, bounced around and forced to jump through hoops to get my almost $3000 back.

I am a single mom that works for a non-profit. This was to pay off my daughters tuition and they can't cut me a break and give me an acutal person to talk to that might help me out or care about the fact that I am paniced that I will never see my money again. The next step is an attorney.

WHAT EVER YOU DO DO NOT SIGN UP WITH AT&T

I was interested in having the U-verse with AT and T . They had schedule a technician to arrive . They did not . I tried to check my status on line and it was not available . On the day they did not show up , I called at and t . After passing me around several departments , they told me that for some reason , my account was cancelled .They had schedule me for another date one month later . This time they showed up however , they said they could not install the services for a box of some sort is missing .

Attempt #3 came when a rep was going around out building saying that they had install the box needed due to the demand of people . For this attempt , i took a day off. Guess what the technician did not show up again ! and when i got a hold of someone they told me that they could not install u-verse for there was a part missing ! AND check this out , before i could get a hold of someone , i check my status online and it states that my installation date was scheduled for dec. 31 , 2036 !

I ordered Uverse TV back in October. They have been out to install a total of 6 times. Each time it is the same story, the other department did not do what was needed. This company is totally disjointed and has absolutely no regard for their customers. There sales and product offerings are a scam. I would recommend that no one do business with AT&T as they can not be trusted and are totally out of control. If I had the opportunity I would divest all service with AT&T. This is what happens when a company approaches a monopoly in a particular area. Sound familiar?

I had saved all my documents to prove such even happened.

I submitted an issue on Saturday which finally after 7 months a ticket was created. I was told someone will follow up today (wed). I called the tech support department to find out, and the person who answered the call stated she has no information. i asked her to contact the department that is working on this ticket and she said she has no way of contacting them. Understand, i've been going through the same issue for 7 months and changed out the phone 3 times and got 2 new sim cards. It was obvious she was reading her dialog book, so i asked to speak to her manager. Her manager would not come to the phone and delivered the same message this woman just gave me which was they have no way of contacting this 2nd tier department. I asked for this manager's name and id number and the woman said it was against policy to give out such information. How is anyone going to submit a complaint or a compliment if basic information cannot be handed out? The only information I was given was this manager's name (who refused to get on the phone) is Christina.

I ask you this: How does such a large company not be accessible to different departments? Why is it that the wireless customer service department have the worst employees who does not or cannot assist? Why is it that the wireless customer service department have under trained and rude employees?

Don't tell me that the day isn't over. There is 2 hours left in business hours. Again, 7 months of the same issue and it's taking AT&T this long to TRY and assist me?

I recieved a call from an AT&T business representative back in May. He was calling to see if I wanted to add AT&T Office Reach to one of our phone lines because of the person using it making so many 411 calls. He told me that if I added this service it would cost $5 a month as opposed to the $20 or more that was being charged in 411 calls. I told him I would have to ask my administrator and would get back in touch with him.
After I let him know he could add it, he said it would take 1 week for it to be fully functional. I said that was fine. Waited for the next bill to come, it hadn't been added. Giving him the benefit of the doubt ,I waited once more for the next bill, since I had spoken to him close to the end of the last billing cycle. Thinking that it would show up on this bill. It still had not been added after 2 months. So I sent him another email asking him why this service had not been added, and he said he would get it added for me. So I wait another 2 months, it still has not been added. I then send yet another email, telling him that this service needed to be added immediately and we were not paying the current bill until it was handled. He said he would get it added ASAP and would see about getting us a credit.
Next bill comes, Office Reach still has not been added and we only recieved a credit for 1 411 call ($1.99). I send him another email telling him how rediculous this was and asked how hard it could possibly be to get this added. By this time we should have been paying $5 a month for Office Reach and had already paid close to $100 in 411 calls. I told him that we didn't feel we should have to pay for these since it was a error on his end. He said he would try to get this service added and would see about getting us a credit, but it would take a week to get it done because he was on vacation. I sent another email to him last week to see where he was on getting this added, and got no response. I sent a final email to a sales rep. yesterday to see about getting this added and asked how to file a complaint. Got a response within a few hours that it was being added and would take 7-9 days for it to be fully provisioned, but no response on a complaints department. We'll se if this actually gets added. But it is rediculous that it took 7 months to get anywhere with this. I have kept a copy of all emails sent and recieved. There needs to be something done about this guy!

My complaint is with the ATT store where I purchased it. 1521 Olympic Blvd. in Walnut Creek, CA. I went in to purchase a new cell phone. They told me that if I went wireless with my HOME phone that it would be cheaper - 15.00 CHEAPER. Also told me that I would maintain all the phone services...caller id etc., the metro plan etc. All this was not true. There was no caller ID and the wireless was costing me 6.00 MORE per month. I immediatly went back to the store with the wireless router and told them they misled me and to put EVERYTHING (phone and internet) back to its original state. I was 10 days without phone service and had to use a hotspot for my internet connection which was very spotty. They assured me over and over all would be taken care of and would also take care of any extra charges - so far the extra charges are 145.00 but haven't received all the bills yet. So now I have two internet connections and being charged for both. I have emailed them repeatedly and left messages with the manager and the case worker assigned to my case. NO ONE has responded in over 1 week. I told them yesterday 12.15.12 they had 24 hours to get back to me before I file a complaint. They did not live up to what they said they would do and I am left hanging with the mess and the cost. I also asked them for compensation for this whole thing and received NOTHING. I need them to fix EVERYTHING and take care of EVERY BILL that I have incurred.

I handle all the cell phones for our company and called to place an order for a new phone on our account as I always do. The phone we wished to purchase was on back order however they checked and a store 30 minutes away had it in stock and they told me it would be best to go to the store to purchase it, that all I would need was my drivers license. I went into the AT&T store with our company bill and was told they could not talk to me because I was not listed as the administrator on the account. The assistant manager, Debbie was very short with me and did not want to listen to the fact that I was told to come there by the person I tried to order with over the phone. I then walked outside called the number on my bill and had myself placed as the administrator on the account to be able to purchase a new phone for a new employee. When I went back into the store she would not even look at me however the manger, Sean was very nice and very helpful. However, now a week later an employee that does not have his name listed anywhere on our billing and does not have access to our billing went into the same store and was given not only the total that we pay monthly but what we pay for on the business account. It looks to me like there are different policies for different people and that the policy should all be the same for everyone. I was already mad it took over an hour at the store because of their "policy" and now to find out the "policy" is not for everyone across the board is even more fustrating.

I want to complaint about stonetown store in San Francisco I went there today 11/01/2012 to activate my iphone 5 first when i got there the young lady by the door stop me to redgister may name for waiting list and she asked me where did i buy this phone look like interigating me so I told her nicely I got my phone by mail so I told her about her customer service she didn't like it so after a while when the tech person arrived he approched very rude like (wise guys) and he asked me why i didn't activate my phone on like which i didn't know and during to activating I nicely ask are you guys busy these days he repied very rude with customer like you we are very busy that was really rude this is in my mind all day I think thats why they are there for if they don't want to do any thing any body could work there and I think the tech and the lady on front were related to each other so this people need to talk if will let go they think they can do any thing and no one watching them.

My son's I-phone was stolen by one of his friends so I filed an insurance claim. Before the replacement I-phone arrived his orginal phone was returned. Therefore, I contacted AT&T and told them I no longer needed the replacement phone. They said no problem, open the package and place the return address on the box and mail back to the return address.
As I did not need the replacement phone I did not even open the package with the phone rather, I sent the entire package to the return address. Then a few weeks later I received a bill from AT&T Wireless for the deductible of $199.00 even though the replacement phone had been returned the same day it arrived.
I thought the matter was settled however AT&T continued to bill me for the insurance deductible even though the replacement phone had been returned. I called them several times and they said the never received the phone. Lately, the said the phone returned did not match the serial number of the phone sent.
Bottom line, they have my $199.00 and the replacement phone plus I was informed that they could not and would not send me a replacement phone nor would they credit me my $199.00 paid.
These guys are celluar predators. They even harrassed me several times and told me they would cut of my service and report me to a credit agency.
AT&T stinks!

I was recently paying 24 dollars a month for unlimited internet when I received a charged for over usage. That's when I found out that a limited had been placed on Att internet usage so now I have to pay extra a month or limit myself and family to use the internet less. So I shoped around for better deals and got unlimited internet plus almost 4 times better speed with Time Warner Cable for 29.99 a month with no contract. So I called in today to cancel my sevices with Att and now I'm being told that I had agreed to a 12 month contract and have to pay a early termination fee when I wasn't made aware that I was in a contract.

I have been with them for 5 year now and was always month to month but now that I want to cancel they come up with this they have always changed up my pricing to end up paying more and I had always complaind and got it fixed and always spoke well of my service and how willing they were to help but now I don't think so highly of them. So be on the look out and don't get trapped like I did now they tell me that there is nothing they can do about it that the representative I had spoken to should have made me aware of a contract which he didn't and that since August the cap was put on internet usage which they also did not make me aware until I got this months bill.

So I am very dissapointed with Att and their costumer service representatives.

Called cuts.service to cancel service was transferred to a specialist which talked me into a plan that give me and my husband one smt.phone and one simple phone which would be used for simply talk only. Was told to go to cos o or wallmart to get the second phone cheaper I agreed to a 66.00 plan monthly price for everything.

Went to store was told by a agent zach in store on 2nd st. Hickory that I was lied to my plan going to cost 85.00 per nth without the second phone told me to call cuts set to get fixed was assured that I could go back to orig plan if I wanted called cuts serv switched to spec.agent again and was told my plan was going to cost me 109.00 per mth to my shock I asked to cancel the acc. Was then told locked into 2nd acc.could not drop eventhough was told had 14 days to cancel from the delivery date of the phone.

I asked to speak to a manager was told no manager could help me had to go to this site and make a complaint.been with t-mobile for years even stayed eventhough no phone and up grade without changing plan I feel like I have been treated like an edit like I don't know what I was told and definitely not the case well educ and worked for AT&T. Cuts serv for years know exactly how thing work I was cheated and definitely lied to.i have always stood up for t-mobile look what I get for it.

I hope my faith will not be completely broken I hope this mistake can be fixed and faith restored.I tried to talk to Bridgette to rectify the problem did not get anything from her buti have to keep the contract even though was told have 14 days to change back. U probably get all time I have not lied please help, if I could afford would love to keep things as is just not an option layer off work cannot afford. I know you're company has not built on lies and deciet, Please help you"re loyal customer,cantwait to hear from you.

I have been w/ATT for morethan 10yrs,family plan,I helped my cousins family to get their own family plan w/ATT using my account info.I had 5 lines on my old account, and my cousin who had her 3 cell phone on my other new account for less than 2yrs.1 line is addressed to my house ( the old account ) and the newest account to my cousin's address, we pay separately.I had her oldest daughter cell bill come to my house and my daughter in law's cell phone bill go to her house. So we went to ATT sales office here in Forest Dr. Columbia , SC. we were told, my 1st account where my cousin's daughter cell phone bill goes,is very old,while my the other account is very new , the only way to swap the 2 cell phone billing address is to have my old account be current, updated. We asked if there were charges involved , the representative said no, we are just making your account curent, swapping the cell numbers and the mailing address for the bills. All the transaction happened at the store, we were not told of any charges , no bills nor new written agreement signed nor given. As I called ATT tonight to inquire about adding new line , I was told I owe ATT more than 400.00 dollars due to having new account, that i have dropped my old account and I have to call the collection agency to settle the money . This is not true , all we did was transferred one line to the other address and another line to my address for billing purposes due to my daughter in law living w/ us, and my cousins daughter living w/ her mothers address. The ATT representative was so unprofessional,RUDE,her name "Rebecca Quillan"( not sure last name)",she did not let me explain,she called me " impostor" when I told her I did speak w/ ATT rep so many times , but nothing in reference to this. They said I dropped all my 5 cell phone lines to get a new account and i am now getting penalized for dropping all my lines.We still have the same cell #'s,plan

Been waiting over a month and nobody can or will help me get a phone that I want. And it's just a talk and text phone. No internet! I am sick and tired of people not wanting to help valued customers. Been with ATT since 2006 and this is the worst I have been treated. Called 6 stores and nobody had the LG xpression. One store found and got it in 48 hours but I couldn't pick it up right away, I WORK! But they refused to hold it over 24 hours after I've waited over a month! This is customer service? I tried calling to order it online and nobody knew how to do it online. I was on the phone with them for over 30 minutes because they could'nt figure out why I could'nt get the discounted price. After being transferred to different people and being put on hold numerous times. I finally got pissed and hung up. They were nice but not trained properly. I am starting to shop around for a different carrier. I'm done fighting and nobody seems to care or want to help.

We have been receiving an average of 3 calls per day to our home phone. The caller ID identifies the caller as ATT. The number is 512-518-6962. I have answered the call and so has my wife on two different occasions and asked them not to call back. The caller identified herself as AT&T long distance service, trying to get us to switch our long distance plan. We have cellular phones and have no use for a long distance plan. I want the harrasment to stop. If something is not done, we will be looking at changing providers for our cell phones, home phone and internet service.

Really AT&T??? Really?!?! I ordered services for my land line and Internet on November 17th to be installed on November (Monday) 26th between 2pm and 5pm. I received a text message on the 21st asking me to confirm the same date and time and I did. I received a 2nd text message on the 23rd requesting another confirmation of the date and time. I confirmed it again. Then came Monday, November 26th... Waited, waited, waited... No one showed. Called the number I was given when I ordered my bundle and checked with the automated system. The system confirmed that yes, my service was scheduled for Monday, November 26th between 2pm and 5pm and since it was after 5pm the service should have already been completed. I make my appropriate selection to speak with a representative and hold on the line. A man answered speaking very broken English. I could barely understand him and had to ask him to repeat himself several times. He told me that in his system my installation date was for Tuesday, November 27th between 8am and 11am. I informed him his system was incorrect and that I received two texts messages on two different dates confirming my date and time and even the automated system has the correct date and time. He argued with me that I was incorrect and that those dates and times were just my activation dates. I told him no, I spoke with a live person when I scheduled this and that those dates and times were confirmed many times over as my installation dates. He continued to argue with me so I requested to speak to a manager. He told me he was with another customer and I told him I would hold. After several minutes of back and forth, him telling me his supervisor was busy, me telling him I understood that part and I would hold anyway, I was finally placed on "hold" to speak to a supervisor. The line disconnected when I was placed on "hold." I immediately called back and spoke to another man, who also did not speak English that well, and I gave him a short version of my problem and asked for a supervisor and was connected. The supervisor, also speaking very broken English, repeated the same incorrect information as the previous gentleman and basically told me my only option was to reschedule. Not pleased but needing my services I complied. I made my original call at 4:45pm. I was transferred from call center to call center, department to department and placed on hold by SEVEN... SEVEN different people, not one person spoke English well, between 4:45pm and 7:50pm attempting to reschedule only to have the last person I spoke with ask me to repeat my last name just to find out they weren't even dealing with the correct account. Even though I repeated my information several different times, I guess the language barrier from not speaking nor understanding English that well had something to do with them not understanding the information I was giving them. The last person I spoke with had me on hold so long that she finally took my number and said she would call me back. She never did. The next morning, bright and early, at 7:45am I start my phone calls again. It took until 10:15am to finally get my installation rescheduled for Wednesday, November 28th AFTER 3pm. I get home from work at 1:55pm and on my door is a note from the technician that he was sorry he had missed me. The phone number he was given to contact me was incorrect (language barrier???). I called him back and he said he was at another customers house waiting for her to get home because they had given him, you're gonna love this, the WRONG TIME... He said he would do everything he could to get back to me today because this happens all the time and he doesn't understand why the call canters always screw up dates and times. Perhaps it's the breakdown in communication because these people don't even speak English. Outsourcing may be cheaper but it is NOT very efficient. I received a 2nd phone call from the technician and he said I had to call AT&T back again because now they had placed a hold on my installation because I missed our appointment time, which was not our appointment time at all. I refuse, I REFUSE to go through another several hours of transferring and holding to get the service I requested. I did call, however, to cancel my request as I will be using Verizon. You should strongly consider sending a quality control team to whatever country you have outsourced your call centers to and see if they can assist your call center employees in un-wedging their heads from inside of their asses. I apologize for the language but you tell me a more fitting wording and I will edit my comment. I have NEVER had an experience like this in my life. I have moved all over Texas and Louisiana and set up many phone lines and Internet lines and cable in my adult life and have NEVER dealt with such incompetence. I would never recommend AT&T for home or office service to anyone.

I became an ATT customer in 1994 and until yesterday I was very satisfied. I was told last October 1st, 2011 to call to renew my account and the time not used in 2011 would be carried over to 2012. I called 9:30 a.m Oct 1st 2012 to add $100.00 to my account, and I was advised that I was 2 hrs short
air time so the $74.00 was terminated from my 2011 account. I tried to talk to a supervisor and to no avail. I was told nothing could be done to adjust my account. No one advised me there was a time on Oct 1st that I had to call by to keep the $74.00 and roll it over towards 2012. I am a senior citizen living on a fixed income and to lose $74.00 because of 2 hrs is a great injustice on your part to a long time customer. Hope to hear from you soon regarding this situation

Our wireless Internet had slowly been decreasing in reliability and power. We used to be able to run a PlayStation 3 and all our computers with no problem. But now the Internet connection is about as strong as a price of grass. It drops connection and when we do have connection it is fucking awful. Now it is your job to provide us what we pay for. And we have not had any change in payment. So unless you can boost our service or cut down what we pay, I demand reimbursement from you idiot providers. And don't give me that bullshit in saying that you can not provide us with any better service, because the streets next to us have better service. Again, fix this damn problem or Give Us our money back because frankly this is awful customer service and it rediculous to treat your customers who have been with you for 4 years like the shit you are treating us like.

Sincerely, a pissed off customer

like everyone else I harassed by unwanted sales phone calls. Now we also cannot easily hang up. As you know you have introduced a new feature that prevents a hang up until the call is completed by the calling machine.
This is not tollerable. I am forced to just throw the phone on the floor and check later to see if my line is available. If you cannot fix this NEW fiasco you will loose much public admiration, and customers (me) . 760 5919043

19 attempts, yes 19 attempts. My problem is still happening. When it rains I have no line or service. This has been going on since Sept 8. All the customer service reps give the same BS about being sorry and I understand crap. Bottom line, they do not listen. An executive should go "UNDERCOVER" and see what it is like to be a customer. Sh*t, I'm an employee of 30 years and have interests in this company. Now when people tell me their encounters, I beleive them. That is why AT&T's stock is doing crappy.

If I wasn't getting a discount (soon to be $50 a month) I would cancel service. Actually the discount is not worth the agravation. Besides, Verizon are the people who own the lines and come out to repair them. I think that VERIZON does not care about AT&T's customers and hopes that they will switch to their services. If I owned a company like this I would surf the web for deflamation articles so I could prevent crap like this from happening. I was just called from an AT&T esculations manager and they insured me a repair by tonight. I serious doudt it. This is the 19th complaint that I have had. I'll give it another week, then I'll make a decision.

If I had more cash I would take out a whole page article in the newspaper detailing my problems. However, AT&T does not allow its employees to speak to the media. I hope someone could get a hold of the CEO, CFO, VP AVP and whoever has clout or interests in making sure their company excels. This is CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK. Soon they can eliminate that event from the calender because they wont have any customers left. Crap, I already changed cell phone carriers, the home phone may be next. AT&T WAKE UP..

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

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

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

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

DEAT SIR OR MA'AM,
I was deeply upset with your company. I was a loyal AT&T Customer for several years. In 2012 we experienced several months of service interruption and sometimes it was days without phone service. I am a Law Enforcement Officer and was without phone service and possibly impeded on my employment. I was satisfied that your company attempted to satisfy us with refunding us some monetary amounts. Several employees for your company were very helpful in assisting us as we were not happy. It saddens me that your company advises that the phone contacts are recorded and while we were advised that we were not going to be able to be refunded any more for the service interruptions. My wife and I inquired about ending our contract, not that we wanted to, but that I was not able to go without phone service, while I live in the city, well within range. An AT&T Customer Service person advised that we would be able to end our contract with AT&T without paying the termination fee. So this is what occured, and then we don't recieve any paperwork in the mail, until we receive paperwork from a collection agency stating allost $1000.00 including several hundreds of dollars for termination fees. My wife called and spoke with another AT&T Customer Service person who we advised the entire situation, this person then transferred my wife to a manager, whom advised her that they would look into the recorded phone call from our termination call. This manager advised to give her one week and then they would be in touch with us, and that AT&T would honor what the manager had said. Over a week passed and my wife called back speaking with another AT&T Customer Service person, having to explain the situation then being transferred to yet another manager, whom advised that not all calls are recorded, but only randomly recorded. This Manager advised that the company would not honor the non charge of termination fee as these are automatically charged. Now we were forced to pay approximately $1000.00 dollars becuase your company did not honor what you said.

Again, I am a Police Officer and feel that being treated like this is not ethically right. We would have not ended our service if the fees were not going to be waived.

I understand that we owed for some service but feel that we should not have been charged the termination fees. Times are tough enough and i do not appreciate your companies dishonesty.

I will voice my opinion about AT&T with not only people in my community but throughout my family and network of friends. A cell phone is a mandatory tool for a police officer and i feel that your company should record all phone calls so you can not use the absence of phone calls to your advantage.

I would also appreciate anything that can be done about any attempt to right this with me.

Thank You for Any Assistance,

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

20

We received 7 unwanted phone calls this past week from some "card services - Rachel". We are sick of getting these calls weekly which have gone on for the past year or so. Either you do something about this annoyance or we are going to quit having our land-line telephone and go strictly with our cell phone. We have punched "3" until we are blue in the face or punched "1" and tried to talk to the representative and they just hang up on us. We are at the end of the line with these calls.

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

20

been trying to get my phone number from a previous carrier switched to AT&T. I have been told several different things on transferring the number. one person tells me they have sent in a request for the number several time and when i call the old carrier, they say they didn't get the request. on Friday [nov. 3] AT&T sent another request for the number and told me to go ahead and cancel the number. today i called to see why my phone is still not working and was told i wasn't suppose to cancel the service with the old carrier. this has been going on since nov. 29. all i get is the run around. once again i am on the phone with AT&T trying to get this mess straightened out.

To whom it may concern,

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

Krishna makadia

Ordered U-Verse and schedule installation between 8 and 12 on April 4, 2013 the tech never showed or called. Contacted various ATT numbers and got someone from India the majority of the time. Called everyday and was shuttled around for hours each time with no appreciable results. ATT shut off my DSL and would not try to turn it on so was without internet for a week. Talked to a couple English speakers and was told I would have U=Verse on such and such a date, never happened. The last I talked to a tech was to find out u=verse would be installed April 10 this time the tech came out. On Monday April 8 was called by tech support and the A--hole told me he would call after the install time to verify installation and supply an offer to compensate for the trouble I was put through. He has yet to call but really didn't expect it. If it were possible to get another provider out here in the boondocks I would tell ATT to stuff it. Their customer service is non existant and the techs say thing they have no intent on following through on. These phone techs put you on hold for 20,30, 45 minutes while they go visit or something because they come back on with the same crap. ATT should be forced to provide a months free service for every day a situation is not rectified. And on top of all this crap I had to put up with U-Verse sucks it is slower than the DSL I had. What a waste. I hate ATT and will never recommend ATT products to anyone.

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Sharon E. Johnson

We bought a iphone 4 with a upgrade for $99 as a christmas gift for our daughter and gave to her early due to her phone crashed. we activated it and 3 days later it was stolen. we contacted AT&T as well as Apple and we were told we could do nothing about it. we were told we had to purchase another one for $550 if we wanted a new one. even with the technoligy they have it is not able to be located. when apple was notified we were told they dont support the customer just the product and there was nothing they could do.

When AT&T was notified they said it was out of there hands because it was an apple product and apple doesnt care about there customers just the product. so i guess our complaint is that there is no such thing as CUSTOMER care at AT&T or Apple. we are switching companies as well as product. with HTC being as good as or better than apple and better customer care.

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

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 I’m went to the hospital twice because the way of AT&T doesn’t care about the customers
. If you would like to contact me with regard to this whole experience please feel free to contact me. at 848-565-5527

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!

20

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.

20

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

There are no words. Att and U verse are so far deep into the dirt, they can never come back to the ethical company they were years ago. No point in listing all the calls. All the time wasted, all the lies, mystery charges that appear out of no where that no can explain, charges that appear that are wrong that take months to get right. The lies start at the store level and continue into the the service. In August of 2014 we came and gave you 5 lines. I have a contract with you for 12 more months. The minute it's done we will be done with you, and your horrible internet. I will go back to Verizon. I am disgusted. I have been pushed to the point of frustration over and over again. You believe in one n done philosophy. You may have got me for 1contract, but you won't get me again after this ever. Ever. I wish I had the time and energy to legally pursue going after you for all the dirty things you have done since day one. I'm an American customer, I will not discuss my private business with people outside my country who can't speak English. Companies like you have our private info the hands of deceitful lying representatives that sit in call centers in the phillapines, Mexico and India. Do you think those people would think twice about selling our info on the black market? Of course not. Not like you would care

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

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

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

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

I was calling about my bill and was supposed to be transferred to billing when I got cut off. I called back and had to go thru the same routine and listen again to recordings. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the lady (Brenda) said they would call me in three to five minutes. It has now been 50 minutes and still no phone call. Why cant someone do what they say they will do? I have had problems since we switched our plans. Please contact me.

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

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

I was ready for an upgrade my daughter and I switched phones she gave me her Samsung Note 3 and she got my upgrade. She got the Samsung Mega cell phone that was on sale for $150.00. My daughter decided she did not like the Mega phone and went back to AT&T store to get another cell phone she was told she could trade the Mega for another cell phone. I notice on my cell bill that I am being charged for the cell phone she returned for $500.00 dollars. We were never told that she still had to pay for the Mega phone even if she traded it for another one. I feel that AT&T is misleading the customers, and are not upfront with the rules at the time of purchase. I have made several phone calls and I am told that I have no choice but to pay the mega phone even though it was turned in.

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!

40

ATT has outsourced the jobs to Asian countries where the tellers are incapable of helping customers since they do not know the US. The tellers just read the computer screen. Totally useless people. The American tellers just promise appointments yet nobody shows up. Nobody knows what they are doing. Completely irresponsible! Waiting for internet service for over 5 days.

60

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

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 land line number is or was 1440 9516218 mike steele cell phone is 440 5374742. I used this land line for my heart monitor only which is as critical of a line as you can have. It was disconnected because i did not have the money. When i finally got it i paid it on 1-21-15 i paid the bill in total and called to have it connected again . In the period of 3 whole days i talked to at least 6 at&t agents from all of the country and world and was promised and guaranteed it would be on at any hours and never happened at all and there was not even any paperwork put in to have it done. I had a small dispute with the last agent and he told me it would be put back on on the 21st but as the day went on it never happened as usual. I called late in the day and got a hold of at&t and was told oh no its not going to be hooked back up till the 28th of January. Shocking i was penalized almost a week to get my HEART monitor put on because of the complaining of never getting the job done. Finally a woman supposedly helped me on Friday afternoon packaging all 3 of my services with a connection of my land line this Monday the 26th. I have been a faithful customer but this is the worse service in the history of services. My u verse account is 4405374742 which is my cell phone number and my new package is 4405255492 what a disgrace with the way this has been handled. My next stop is anyone that will listen to me i told everyone of them that this was for a heart monitor and got the same story from everyone, terrible.

40

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.

Att has been nothing but a severe let down and depressing choice of wireless carrier. Service sucks. Garbage. Utter crap. If you like customer service I would recommend you go anywhere else BUT Att.

40

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....

AT&T has become such a big conglomerate that their employees and CEOs have lost sight of their Missions. I have been with AT&T for a very long time and with having AT&T products such as: 5 wireless numbers, Direct TV and I have just recently added U-verse (home phone and Internet) one would think that I would be considered a Loyal customer and treated as such! Not the case, I have to do 2 each combine billings on all of these AT&T services. I have these set up for an automatic banks withdrawal (ACH) and have done this for years never had a problem. So to my surprised, I received a letter in the mail from a Collection agency this week stating that I have been turned over to them to collect my debt (which was paid by the bank).

My nightmare begins, when I try to call and discuss this matter with any and all AT&T Representatives. I ended up talking to 10 different Representatives to include supervisors yesterday and got 10 different responses on what the problem was. Finally, on my 11th attempt, I finally got someone and told me immediately what had happen. It seems like when I switched from a DSL and Home wireless account to a UVERSE account that account was closed (no AT&T Representative told me this would happen when I ordered this).

The bank draft was posted to the closed account. The AT&T Representative She immediately reversed the bank draft from the closed account to the new account and all actions were cleared up immediately. I feel I should not have had to endure this kind of mental anguish to try and correct what is apparently several broken processes with the AT&T Corporation. I feel mentally beat up and when my contract expires, I will move on to a different provider. May I suggest A Lean Six Sigma Process for the whole Corporation. Just remember you're as strong as your weakest link.

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

This complaint starts from the day I ordered a new iphone 6 plus. My personal assistant, Patty called AT&T on October 14, 2014 and spoke with Frank Victor who placed the order for me. She explained to him that I was up for an upgrade so I wanted to do the two year plan. However, for some reason he placed me on the Next plan and was unable to change it at the time. He told me to call back in 24 hours to have it changed. My credit card was charged $57.00 for the order, which to date I have not gotten back! When Patty called back on October 15, 2014, she spoke with Jarmain and she said that it cannot be changed in the system that we have to wait for the phone to be activated and anytime within 15 days it can be changed...AFTER ACTIVATION
She did say that it shows I will get my phone in 28-35 days.

Continuously called all through November and December for when the delivery will be there and kept asking if there was any way for the reclassification to be done. No progress. On December 17, more than two months later, I finally received my phone. Patty calls to activate it on December 18. That was no problem, but when it came time for them to switch the classification, Patty was told it could not be done. She spoke with Cindy Wood who got with her supervisor Jason Pofhal and he explained that it was another department to make the changes since the order date was so long ago. I explained that I had spoken with several representatives and was told that the phone has to be activated. He said he will make notes and get someone to call me back. He assured me that I would have to only pay $499.00 which is the upgrade contract price and not the next price of $949.99.

couple days later, Jim called and told me to get in touch with the IT department. After several tried for that department, I was told that no such department exists and that I should get in touch with the Premiere Department. Spoke with Connie, he said he cannot help, but to try back. Finally got in touch with the premiere department and spoke with Carol, she said there was nothing that she could do and would check with a supervisor. I was on hold for more than an hour and spoke with Saundra who said she looked at all the notes and couldn't understand why this was not done in the beginning by the department that the supervisor Jason was in. All in all, I was on the phone for about three hours and she spoke with another supervisor in another department, Seeta who was absolutely no help and was not even nice to talk too.

Saundra decided that she would put a note on my account that I can try taking it to a store and if they would take it back I can repurchase another one. I did not want to do that since I already used my phone on a recent trip and did not want to lose the pictures, etc. on it. I am very disgusted with this service and all the back and forth. we were never told to cancel the order completely and start over...I think it's a ploy for people to pay double to own a phone. I am also filing a complaint with www.ftc.gov for this absolutely poor service to deal with a situation.

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

To: President and CEO. Dear Mr. Stephenson, I have been a loyal customer to your cable, internet service for 3yrs now. I remember living in New Orleans when At@t came out with cable services, with the antenna ,before At@t left New Orleans. Now I live in Texas I had your services for 3 yrs. now and in those 3yrs. is have been nothing but problems. I would like you to look at my whole history to see all the problems I have since signing up with AT@T. I was been over charge after I was put in a promotion, I have automatic pay and because of the over charge I was been overdraft in my account, I'm disable and I live in a budget. I took 4 month of credits to my account and to get is straight. My wife and I would like to add extra channel to our services and for some reason they cannot do it because of some error that keep occurring into my account. so far it have been 2weeks since my request to add channels but they can figure out the problem. I have been in touch and put on wait in my cell phone up to 2 hours and the problem still exist. This is totally unprofessional and disgusting. customer service promised to call back and they don't. After various complaint a manager keeps calling me now to give me updates, but all I'm getting is (we still working on it). You guys are AT@T the (Nasa) of programing. Why can the fix this problem this is ridiculous and unacceptable. I have been very passion about this but not anymore. As today I'm looking to change your services to Time Wagner cable. I don't even want satellite because I find out AT@T own them. I might be only one subscriber , but is one less for you guys.

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

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

I was going to wait until 1/24 to cancel AT&T home phone and internet since the home phone is paid through that time frame but I am going to call sooner, guess this weekend to cancel service . Not only has AT&T called every day for the past two weeks but now are calling two times every day, I have told them its not a got time to talk due to a death in the family and they always say NO PROBLEM , do not text and drive, So tonight after the 2nd call from the them today I told them the AT&T account holder died ( my mom three weeks ago) and I will be calling to cancel service and they say NO PROBLEM do not text while you drive I will never will have AT& T for any thing in my life No empathy and they could care less about my mom dying after 91 years of age and having having AT& T services her entire life NO AT&T for me , Its not American anymore , its a corporate money hog

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

I bought a contract with AT&T. I have one phone and it isn't even a smartphone or iphone. I pay $47.00 a month. I went online to change my account information. Having done that I thought it was going to be automatically debited to the new account. I went to check the old debit account and found it was still being debited by AT&T. So thought I'd call them and they still had the old account listed on my profile, even though the new account was added. I got a letter from the old account saying it past due. That how I found out they didn't change the account information. I also do not like the service. I rarely get and make calls and when I do I most of them are dropped. I want out of my
contract and don't ever want another one.

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.

I had complained that my bill had gone from $77.06 to $83.28 then to $93.29 and finally to $97.11. The bill has a statement that I am saving $76.49. How is this possible when my bill had gone up $20? I have phone service and internet, how could that possibly be? $97.11 + $76.49 = $173.60. The agent on the phone said he could save me money if I bundled. I asked him if it involved a satellite dish, (I asked him several times) and he stated no. I then was convince that a bundle would save me money.

The next day a Direct TV truck pulled up. I had stated that the dish system does not work where we are. I had cancelled the service however I have been trying to get back to AT&T to cancel my order #183731524. I tried to call but the call was dropped and I was told to try again later. This is not acceptable. I a seriously looking into another service with another provider. After calling Vernon, Raul, Tracy & Josh, I finally had an associate by the name of Reno that has taken all of the information and has cancelled the Uverse order and straightened my bill out, I hope. Really need to clean up you web access.

 

Have feedback for AT&T?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry. Please try again later!
