AT&T Complaints Continued... (Page 14)

My internet and home phone services went out on Saturday. I called ATT numerous times on sunday. They were suppose to send a technician. I had to borrow other peoples cell phones to call and use their minutes up. Every time I called ATT I had to go thru the automated phone services. I had to repeat every thing over and over every time I called (this took time on other people’s cell phones). I was placed on hold numerous times. The technician called and stated he wouldn’t be there that day. He would come the following morning. Which now is Monday. He spoke to my mother not myself. FINALLY, after numerous more calls and be putting on hold over and over and using other people’s cell phone’s and repeating myself for the 5th time, they finally had a tech. person show up Monday evening. He had no success. He changed wires inside home first. He checked wiring outside home. He drove down road and concluded it was an exterior problem which he could not take care of. He submitted a ticket to someone else at ATT. The 2nd tech. person showed up late evening. He found the bad connection down Blair St. EXTERIOR problem. He thought he fixed it. We had internet service when he left but still no phone. I stated this to him. He stated sometimes it takes a while to work. The phone worked for about 45 minutes that evening. The next morning NO PHONE SERVICE AGAIN. I called ATT back again Tuesday. I was very frustrated. Due to the fact I have my elderly mother living with me which has been sick. My house is up for sale and I could not have any contact by phone with the realtor. This is very frustrating. I called ATT back again Tuesday from my work because we do not have phone service at home. They stated someone would be there between 12 and 4 p.m. …I waited until approximately 9 p.m. Gave up and went to bed. I called ATT back again from my work on WEDNESDAY. Still no service. I called them back again on Thursday from my work. I asked to speak to a manager. They stated I had to have a call back number for later in order to take care of my problem. Really? This is why I am calling you from somewhere else and paying a monthly bill to you!! Finally they stated a tech. person would be there between 12 and 4 p.m. today (Thursday). I got home from work they had already been there. The phone is now working almost a wk. later. However, because the problem was found inside I will have to pay the $99 fee. I did not touch the wires that hook into anything. The first tech. person is the only person who worked with the wires. My internet and phone worked fine for a year. Then first 2 technicians agreed it was an exterior line on Blair St. Only the last technician said it was an interior issue (which is a $99 charge).
I feel as though this is terrible service from ATT. I was always satisfied with them before, but this experience with them has been a nightmare. I have not received a bill from them yet. However, I should not be billed at all. I missed a full days work and was on the phone with them 3 evenings. Therefore, I do feel they somewhat owe me!!

When the Phillies or the Eagles have a home game I get little or no cell service when I am in my home. I live in South Philadelphia in the shadows of both sports arena’s. My daughter is a RN and she is on call on weekends and most of the time the Eagles or Phillies are playing when this happens she is unable to receive any call or send any out same with me I cannot use my cell phone I asked AT&T to let me out of my contract with no cost to me they will not do it , I pay close to $300.00 a month for service and I feel I am being cheated they are stealing from me each month. Last year I tried a device that AT&T sent me it did not work . This is not fair I pay my bill every month and I have been a AT&T customer for over 15 years. I haven spoken to several AT&T employes and nobody can help with this matter, The only thing for me to do is to move on to Verizion they are not having this problem. I gave AT&T 2 years to fix this problem and still nothing .

Before AT&T downgraded our Internet, it was OK, not great Internet. Now they have downgraded our area and we pay $33 a month for horrible service. Not just horrible but below horrible. I do work from home and it is almost impossible to get anything done as fast as I was doing, and that wasn’t that fast. I cannot believe that you,AT&T have the gall to charge $33 for a junk Internet service. When I was getting OK service I was paying $39. $6 less is way too much to pay for what I am getting now. If I could get something else for less I would be gone. I have already changed my phones because you upped my phone $50 more. AT&T, you are a mess!

I ordered a smart phone through Frontier Communications. Have now spent over 17 hours trying to clear up the confusion over my billing. Yesterday I was on my land line for 2 hours and 40 minutes regarding this situation with both Frontier and AT&T. I was billed by both Frontier and AT&T for a 507 area code (Grand Rapids, MI), and for a Land Line. Neither of these are correct.

I live in Edmonds, WA. The billing began on Feb. 8, 2013, and I did not receive the cell phone until Fe. 14, 2013. I paid the original bill to your company, and have also received two refund checks. Bill paid-$102.73, refund checks-$42.60, and $23.62. The cell phone # that I was given on Feb. 14th is area code 425. I requested a Senior Plan, confusion here as well.

I have never had a land line with AT&T. To date, I have now paid only $4 less than the bill from Frontier. I presume the Late Fee was dismissed–how very thoughtful of your company! It is obvious that my time and trouble has never been a consideration, and I am quite sure that if any other questions arise regarding your billing, I will throw the phone in the trash, cancel my service with both Frontier and AT&T.

Your disregard for customer satisfaction is blatant, and I am most unhappy.

On Weds March 20 my DSL was disconnected by AT&T- not by my request. It took one week, 7 hours on the phone and talking to 15 different people before they were able to reconnect my DSL. It was an extremely frustrating experience and I worry now about a future unauthorized disconnect. How was this able to occur and why was it so difficult to resolve.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with AT&T’ u-verse (billing/customer service). I am a relatively a new customer, I signed up with your U-VERSE bundle service because after researching carefully and calling different companies you offered the best- internet/cable deal. That is exactly when all my problems began.

I am a single mother of two that currently lives in a budget. All my bills and expenses were planned based on how much I could pay for each- my cable/ internet budget was 75 to $80 per month; based on that my search for company that could fulfill my expectations begun. I came across many dif companies that offered similar plans but because AT&T offered the best I signed up with you- <<also the fact that the AT&T is a reliable and well known company.

After the first bill everything change. When I signed up I was offered a combined bill $72.99 per month (out of which internet was 14.95 and 1 year contract with $57.99. The problem is I have gotten a bill for the correct amount, every billing cycle I have to call to get the bill corrected. It takes several calls for me to get at least closer to what it is that I am supposed to pay. First issue with that is that I don’t have the time to be on the phone to get a bill adjusted (when is supposed to be correct from the beginning) . I work full time Mond-Friday regular business hours, I have to use my 15minute breaks and my 30 minute lunch every time I have to call. It is exhausting and this situation is getting old.

I feel like a recording, every month is the same issue. I have to repeat everything over and over from names of previous customer service representatives- supervisors, pieces of conversations, prices, what was said, what was being done. Finally AT&T sends me because is their billing (they can change charges/ they don’t understand why their bill is different <>. I am lucky whenever I get a customer service rep that cares enough and tries to help.
I am extremely dissatisfied with my service; all I have asked for from day one is that I get what I was promised. I don’t want any account credits; I don’t want free fancy movie channels, all I requested was 1 Spanish channel and some cartoons channels.

They give me a monthly $5 credit (but I have to call every month for it), a whole different deal, they always say they can do anything, they don’t have such package, they can’t do anything about my bill (and they send me back to AT&T because I did not signed up for services.

My bottom line is that I don’t care who has to take care of my issues, but somebody has to do something; whether is AT&T or whomever I want my bill to be correct without me having to call every month. As a customer I have rights, I am entitled to get a service I was offered. If you as a company are not going to honor a product-service package you are advertising than you need to shut down your business. It is not fair for people like me that struggle through life trying to make a decent living that companies are trying to get advantage of us stealing our money- making fake offers.

I want the service I was offered, and/ or the opportunity to cancel my contract without any penalties or fees.

I went to AT&T store on sahara and decatur, las vegas, NEVADA. I spoke to their manager (Mitchell) and sales rep (Natalie) regarding about my extra charge on my monthly billing. I was paying extra charge of 9.99 monthly since July 2010, the charges was about celebrity games. The manager checked my billing history and told my that I was paying it since July 2010, he told me that you have to call customer service and there is nothing he can help me and I was told from (Natalie) that it is my fault for not checking my monthly charges, she stated that our company has million of customers and we don’t have time to check everyone. The manager just walk out and stated that you can give customer service because I can’t not help you. Called customer service and they said that they can only give me 6 months refund, I wanted them to do right way, give me my full refund and at least apologize for the way I was treated. I was been with this company for a while now and I expect them to be honest and professional.

I am sure your company is grateful for my business however I am not grateful to have switch to AT&T from COX. I have had issue after issue with your company and the only service you provide me is internet. I signed up through DirecTV and had to use your company for internet since they did not provide this service. Its took me 3 weeks to get a modem as your company kept pushing back the date of delivery which was a hassle since I work from home and that was my only source of income.

It was around the holidays and I lost 3 weeks of pay to contribute to my family. Finally after consistently pushing them they sent a tech out with a modem. He then started complaining that the wiring was a mess. I questioned this since I had COX there for years and the service was flawless. He made a mess in one of the rooms with wires and we had to walk around them for a week because we did not want to move them. After I had pushed to get this modem the person on the phone stated I would not have to pay for installation. I confirmed this 3 times with him because I was so upset. He stated he made the notes.

We then went a week with out internet (Making 4 Weeks no pay for my job), because the modem was faulty. They bought out another one and it finally worked. But then the technician told me that I needed to mail the faulty modem back or would be charged for the cost of the equipment, He gave us no box or return label just a location and stated they would know what to do with it. We spent a total of 5 days trying to go back and forth between this location, other locations and your customer service department because when trying to mail back every location provided turned us away. Finally we got a hold of a person who emailed us a label, (WOW this would have save me precious time from the beginning). And we finally got it mailed.

Now my problem is with billing. I set on the phone for over 2 hours and 53 minutes trying to get it resolved with this department because I was told by DirecTV it would cost me $19.95 a month for internet through your company and the bill I received was over $200.00, Now I have a 2nd bill because I haven’t paid the first one due to trying to get it resolved, and the total bill is now almost $500.00, really for internet. Your company is charging me over $200.00 a month. Installation is still being charged from what I see. The person I spent all this time on the phone with must have given up because he sent me back to customer service and at this point I was not willing to sit on the phone another 3 hours to start all over again.

If this issue is not resolved you can cancel my service and I will go through DirectTV since they do have an addition 3rd party internet provider, but I choose your company since my cell phones are through AT&T, which I have had over 13 years by the way. Same numbers and same account. Switching to your company has not only caused me financial issues but stress and strain. No one should have to spend this much time trying to get help.

My husband and I were in the store to order new phones, and the red Nokia 920 cell that I wanted was not in stock. It had been ordered for me, and arrived within the week just as I was told it would. I want to express my sincere disappointment in the wait time of almost 2 hours–I experienced when picking up my cell phone from the store. The excessive wait I experience occurred at the store on Atlantic Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida. My original salesman, Robert was not at fault! He, actually was the only salesperson working when I walked into the empty store that had one other customer. There was a young girl at the front (I guess a greeter) and three, yes three other gentlemen (sales, or managers—do not know) fiddling with merchandise display boards on the walls in the store.

Since I saw Robert was busy, I went to the opposite side of the store after I noticed another salesman come from the back, Robert was still working diligently with his customer, so I asked this other salesman about my phone order. He said he was busy on the phone in the back, with a customer but would help. Another 10 minutes or so had passed when Robert came over acknowledged me, and said he would be with me in a moment—he was still engaged with the customer he had been working with since I had come in.

What was extremely frustrating was three, yes three others (who obviously were employees )fiddling with taking down and changing (advertising) wall boards while a customer waited, and waited for over an hour! They found that task more important to do than waiting on a paying customer (and needless to say phones and phone service is not cheap). I worked in retail for 15 years, and that type of work they found so important to do at that particular time–while a customer was left unattended seemed to demonstrate poor managerial decision-making, and equally poor customer service.

My whole experience in the store took almost 2 hours! One hour plus of waiting, and another approximately 45 minutes, because the “voice mail” was not operating correctly. Robert was working feverishly with tech support on the phone, and I waited outside in my car. By now I was too upset because I had many errands to do on my day off, and this was taking way too long for a store that had only me in it at this time. About 15 minutes later I returned inside the store, and Robert informed me the voice mail problem had been solved. When I asked how, he told me another salesman (maybe one of the three wall fiddling guys?) help him out. Once again, my salesperson Robert, was wonderful. But his co-workers seem to give him no visible support until…well, I do not know who or when, but I think it is reprehensible that no one helped him out before so much time had elapsed.

Separately, I was given as part of a promotion–a free black wireless charger. When I had inquired about a red wireless charger to match the red phone I was picking up, I was told only white or black was available. Right about the time the whole pick-up, and voice mail debacle had been satisfied (approximately 2 hours later), one of the “wall” guys came out with a piece of paper with a item number on it, and remarked—you can get the red, but it’ll cost you $50.00, and then he returned to wherever without another word being said.

This felt insulting to me because he had made no effort to help in any mode or manner previously in the last several hours, and when he did speak to me—it was to ask for more money. More $$$ for that type of service was just appalling, and left me really dismayed with the entire transaction.

I closed my at&t account and paid my final bill of 21.66, and they say i owe them 5900 + dollars, for international calls,I thought I was on international calling plan but I guess not, but why was I not told of this outrageous amount earlier? I am unable tolog into my account online now, and i ask if they can reduce it and they say no, I ask about getting on a payment plan and they say no, I have no way to get that kind of money, SHAME ON AT&T, I filed a complaint with the fcc and I will be filing a complaint with the better business beareu, I will dispute any negative marks on my credit report, customer service is terrible, and i get put on hold for 30 minutes, THANKS FOR ALL THE EXTRA STRESS

I have been a customer for about three months the first bill I was charged 72.00 including insurance I did not sign up for. I called they said I would get a credit but I had to still pay the 72.00 which was debited out of my bank account. was very upset. The next bill comes I have a 25.00 credit but has been double billed for services bill total comes to 101.00, I was so mad, I called and was told I was double billed and it was a glitch he would take off the extra 40.00 that I did not owe, he even connected me to the billing office where I was told they would only charge my account 61.00. I got charged 81.00 out of my account. I was signed to a bundle home phone and internet for 48.00 plus extra 10 for modem. I cant afford to be debited out of my account random amounts. then get a credit but bill me more next month. I was told this was the best service to have. I decided to try AT@T. I have been upset every month since I have had them with this bill. I would like the extra 20.00 I was charged to be put back on my account. I want to be charged what I agreed to nothing more or less my bill should not be more than 62.00 or less. This is not very good service, adding insurance and then constantly over billing making me pay and offering credits that dont make a difference because you get that back in bogus billing . My address is 116 Engleman ave apt G, Burlington, N.C. 27215

I called At&T on December 7th 2011 to inquire when my contract end date was. I was told by the CSR my wireless contract would end January 4, 2012. I wanted to change services. I cancelled my contract the day after the informed date and later received a bill for $1000 in cancellation fees.

I called to inquire about the bill and was informed that my contract did end January4th on MY cell phone, however the contract end date on the other 3 phones on my account did not. Hence, the cancellation fess for each phone! They had a record that I had infact called AT&T on December 7th, but since they could not verify the content of the conversation I was liable for the fees. OMG! Really? How stupid do you have to be.

Why would I intentionally cancel 4 phones early?? I wrote several complaint letters and NEVER received one reply. Oh wait, yes I did, when they sent my account to collections!!! I had to pay the fees to save my credit. But I think it is an outrage that #1 cancellation fees are ridiculous expensive for no reason #2I never received one reply from AT&T #3 they are so stupid and lack any common sense to realize I called to find out when the contract on my ENTIRE ACCOUNT ended!

I have had AT&T just about all of my adult life, and have been a very loyal customer. I recently got my wife an upgrade, and got the Apple I phone 4S. I was planning on doing the same thing for myself, but I couldn’t until July of 2013. I let my son use my upgrade a while back, and because of that, I can’t get one. I know we have to have rules, but for a customer who has been with you well over 20 years, you would think you could make an exception.

I bought a iphone and case from an AT&T store for my wife. The wife wanted a different case. A few weeks went by and I tried to return it. There was a 30min wait! There were only about 15 customers in the store! I said, why don’t you have a register that caters to quick transactions like a refund.

They were like, ya, that would be better, but we don’t. I got upset and left. I tried again a few weeks later and the same thing. Too long of a wait. I tried again a few months later in the morning and they said they can’t do a return past 30 days. Weak! Any other big box store would be like, “ok, let’s see what we can do”. And maybe offer me a store credit.

But no, not the AT&T store. I have a family plan cell phone service, U-Verse (with cable and internet) and a home phone all through AT&T. And now I’m really ticked off over a dumb $25 case. What I probably hate the most of the situation is there is nobody to complain to within that organization. There is nobody to stick it to. Just left here to simmer in my angst.

I was told that if I switched to AT & T high speed internet service that I would get a $100 rebate check for the modem that I was billed for which would make the modem free. This was not the case. After being on the phone for almost 2 hours I was then offered a $30 credit on my bill or I could hold and talk to a supervisor regarding the rebate I was offered.

I opted to hold and the lady in consumer affairs stated they did not offer me that deal and that she would be will to give me $87.05 for the inconvience but I would have to pay for the shipping which was $12.95 I informed her that I should not have to pay for shipping when I was told it would cost me nothing to receive the modem. I am so mad because I have now cancelled my time warner account to switch to AT & T and I did not receive what wast offered to me and also my internet hardly works it kicks me out every 15-30 mins.

This is the second time they have promised me a rebate and they never send any rebate the first time was in I think 2008 when U-Verse was fairly new in my area and they promised me a rebate for signing up for service and when I called to inquire about the rebate they had no clue of what I was talking about.

It has been about a year and a half since I contacted AT&T to partake in their promotional ad for a $14.95 DSL internet special. I called AT&T on November 15, 2010 to be included in this special, and was told that special installations would have to be done before the special could take place. I scheduled an appointment for this installation on November 19, 2010 and received excellent service from the serviceman. However, it became obvious that after three months, AT&T failed to honor that special DSL rate.

When I received my February 2011 statement, I saw that the bill reflected such a high rate I decided to call to find out why there was such an increase from the previously quoted promotional rate. After talking to at least seven (7) different representatives and being placed on hold for as much as 10 to 15 minutes at a time, I was told there was no record of my every being given the special. In fact, there was no record of any serviceman being dispatched to my home for DSL service installation.

Although I have expressed my dismay regarding the decision that there was no record of the November 2010 promotional offer, I was willing to accept another offer with some type of credit for the error ($19.95). Several representatives told me they could not offer any credit from the previous error because there was no record of my request. Also, I was told that AT&T did not expect so many customers to try to take advantage of this offer, so they did not have the staff necessary to man this offer.

After several calls, I was told that the situation was being looked into, and someone would get back with me shortly. I have tried to contact someone/anyone regarding this situation for over a year now, but to no avail. I just wanted to let AT&T know that I needed to work out a plan with them that I could better afford. Nonetheless, I kept getting charged whatever AT&T wanted to charge me and no offer to work with me regarding these charges.

I have been a valued customer for over nine years now, and would like to have AT&T contact me to work out some type of credit arrangements to continue my phone service. The land phone service has been discontinued because of the DSL dispute.

Well it all started the day I decided to get AT&T wireless internet, I go to the store and the girl there was either anxious to sell me a router or did not know what she was doing,because she charged me and said thank you and was on my way, so i get home and i called cust service, And they tell me i had to go back to the store to verify my id i dont live close by actually i live very far from the nearest store so i asked if there was anything they could do, and they did they tell me it is scheduled to be done in two days. So i wait and nothing happened so i called back apperently there was a mix up so they rescheduled it finally I get my AT&T internet connected so i think everything is OK.

Then I look at my bill and to start off I was set up in the 19.99 plan the pro plan and was getting charged 82.50 so i called to complain and they fix it so it was done after a while I was getting charged the amount I was told until now, they are charging me 35.57 for Nov and 86.10 for Dec I asked why and without telling me they changed the plan and they stated that they sent me emails when I didn’t even get one now I am trying to resolve this problem and AT&T keeps hanging up on me or transferring me to the main line.

This is ridiculous I have been on the line for three hours now and they haven’t been able to fix my problem.Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I have been an AT&T wireless customer since the release of iphone 3GS. For this period of over 2 years, we had terrible reception causing missing and dropped calls for both lines. At our house, we can’t receive most calls. Upon the introduction of iphone 4S, we decided to switch. Before the termination(a couple of weeks prior to our billing cycle end date 25th of the month), I called AT&T regarding prorating the last month’s charges. Initially, the CS rep told me I had to pay for the complete month even if I cancel before the billing cycle.

I told him that it does not make sense that I have to pay for the days that I’m not longer an AT&T customer and specially having to endure poor service for over 2 years. He checked with his supervisor and informed me that a final bill will be generated upon cancellation with prorated charges.

On Nov 4th 2011, I called AT&T to cancel my wife and my lines. The CS Rep again told me that I had to pay for the entire months. Then I repeat the same conversation and told him I had called previously and was informed the final bill will be prorated. After talking to the supervisor, he told me that the charges will be prorated for my wife and my line. However, I can leave my son’s line(additional line) and only pay $9.99 for the remaining of the bill cycle.

On Nov 9th 2011, I called to cancel my son’s line as well. Again I had to go through the same conversation regarding the prorated charges and the rep finally informed me the final bill will be prorated for all the lines.

On Dec 28th 2011, I decided to call AT&T since I still have not received my last bill. The CS rep again informed me I had to pay for the entire month. We went through the same conversation and pointed out to her that I had 3 previous called to AT&T regarding this issue. However, she refuses to accept that citing there is no prorating last month for pre paid customer. This completely does not make sense to penalize good standing customer that paying for the bill on time either month. I told her that I will only pay for the 10 days of usage for my wife and my lines and 15 days for my son’s line.

I would like to see if others have experience similar issue. I plan to file formal compliant to PUC for this unfair business practices and poor customer service. I will also send this same post to AT&T via email and US postal mail customer service as well.

5/16/11 First I was not made aware that MacAfee was expiring or did expire, I don’t read spam or popups, if I get a message that upgrades were ready to install, I would click install. I was online with several different service techs 3 of which remotely took over my computer, after those 3 could not repair my problem, I got a fella who didn’t seem to know what he was doing, I told all concerned that I did not want to lose my documents or pictures. His first comment was we need to reformat your computer, I said don’t you understand I don’t want to lose everything. I asked him if he really knew what he was doing (job wise) I have been a customer of AT&T for many years, I need and expect respect.

I wasted over 8 hours of my time I ended up calling my local AT&T phone service, I just pushed a key to connect to whoever came on the line. I explained to them what my problem was, I had lost just about everything in my computer, no connection, couldn’t type anything. After talking for a few minutes with her it was suggested that I take the computer into a Staples or Office Depot, which I ended up doing. I started out paying $29.99 for checking out the computer. They told me I have 100’s of virus’s & Trojans on my computer. I told them too I did want to lose any pictures or documentation, I lost my wife to cancer July 3, 2010 and there were alot of memories stored in it. They couldn’t guaranty that they could save anything.

They said the total cost could be over $200.00 with no guaranty on saving anything. I asked them what a new computer compared to mine would cost, they told me with what I have already spent and try to download my pictures and documentation and Norton Anti-Virus software was $597.60 and that’s what I did and I believe AT&T & ConnectTech should reimburse for this cost. I have all the receipts showing these costs. I am still paying Connect Tech monthly charges because I was told if I canceled the service I would have no recourse. I have not received any response to this problem. Everytime I call and ask to speak to someone aabout the problem, I get put on hold or transferred to a non-excisting dept.

When I call AT&T and tell them my problem with Connect Tech they tell me Connect Tech is seperate from AT&T. I remember calling AT&T tech support and them telling me I would have to contact Connect Tech for support, AT&T farmed it out to Connect Tech but I feel AT&T is responsible for Connect Tech, they hired them. I have all the imformation I was given from them including a Case#

I called Direct TV about 4:00PM with a problem regarding connecting their Direct TV connection kit to our internet. I was transferred twice at Direct TV then once to AT&T. No one was able to help me. I was put on hold by an AT&T rep at about 4:50. It is now 5:45 and I am still on hold, I know I am on hold because there is still music playing. I was just hung up on. We just started our service Monday, October 10, 2011. As you can imagine, we are not very pleased right now. The first thing I asked the AT&T rep before switching to AT&T was whether or not the bundled program offered on demand and was told it did. That was one of the reasons we switched to AT&T.

I hope this is not the service we can look forward to for the extent of our contract. I want AT&T to be aware of this situation and I hope no one else has to go through this.

June, 2011 AT&T offered $250 in rebates for a U Verse 300 bundle including TV, phone and internet online. I had some questions so went to the local AT&T store and was told the store would give me the same $250 in rebates as online offered so I signed up for it there. I received 1 $100 prepaid debit card but have returned to the store 4 times and this week was told the balance of $150 was not available. I had been a Direct TV customer for several years and got great service. Never would have changed except for the $150 rebate offer. AT&T has terrible service and this is a warning for others.

Since august 5, 2011 i stopped getting daytime calls to my i-phone. I have spoken to countless “technicians” at At&t who all tell me the same thing. “we’re working on it”. Today is 8-26-2011 and the problem continues. I am so frustrated and disappointed with this company and will tell anyone that I can not to use them. The last person that I spoke to had a weird accent, very difficult to understand and put me on hold, then I was disconnected. I sorely regret the day that I ever began with this company and would just like for someone to tell me how to cancel, which I’ve tried to do and they won’t instruct me on what to do!!!

About July 28th we had a storn in Shebville,Tn 931 684 0238. So after six days calling and reporting my phone and DSLis down. I was driving to nashville and found a worker from AT&T and he sent somebody out but tono avail as usual. He he said it was in the box where the problem was at and that he could fix the phone but he needed another part to fix my dsl.
So he called another AT&T worker that said he had the part. Your worker left to go get the part and has never came back. This is ridiculousand you cannot taalk to a human. The service is lousy. This is just Bad Customer Service from AT&T DSL Internet.

At&t dug my yard up over a 2 months ago, left a pile of dirt sitting there with an open hole in my yard for a nother month, finally someone came to fill the hole in and done a very poor job. now my yard has sink holes forming where at&t dug up my yard. I have called verious times just to be blown off no one has came to put my yard back in the condition they found it. I have ticket#s 0005014 also ticket# 0490151, they are very nice on the phone but seem to refuse to do the work. I simply want my yard back the way it was before you dug it up.

We have a business phone with AT&T. We changed suite address in the same building and started getting double billed by AT&T. When we called to complain about the double billing the next action by AT&T was to disconnect our phone. We called AT&T when we became aware of this late Friday 7/29/11 and we were told we would get a callback on the following Monday 8/1/11, otherwise there was nothing they could do. So the phone remained disconnected over the weekend. On Monday morning when we called we were told that the phone was disconnected because of an outstanding balance and that due to the double billing the balanced had been adjusted with some credit given to us.

Further we were told that the service would be turned back on by 2:00pm on 8/1/11. As of 6:00pm 8/1/11 this has not been done and now we are getting more excuses. This is unacceptable.

Had phone line for 20+ years with AT&T. Had home phone removed as it was not being used and was not working. We had been told 3 times by the original person that there would be no interruption in internet service and later was told several times that it would be corrected. Later we were told the Internet was hooked to it and they had to reset everything. (they left my business phone line, fax line going ). Wednesday of last week, 6.22.11 was the first date I was not able to use internet in the home that I rely on for business. I requested service from AT&T on Wednesday 6.22.11. They talked and I listened and then I had to call back many times as it was not working.

I called back on Thursday and Friday and Monday and Tuesday with no resolution to date. Friday a technical person was to have come out and did not. On Monday 6.27.11, after I called and explained again a tech came out and placed a splitter on phone line for internet stating that that was the DSL line. Modem then showed up as Ethernet was green as was DSL. I could still not get into internet. 3 more calls on Tuesday to get internet going with me telling all the different service people the same story and was finally told not to be upset and that it was a connection problem again and would need a techinical person to come out again between noon and 4 pm. I cannot tell you how many business hours lost, had to take off three days for tech support that was to come out and still nothing. It is now 6.28.11.

After my call again this morning and was told another tech is coming out as it seems to be wired wrong. I lost business for 5 days. missed days 3 staying around waiting for technical person and worry over being laid off because of this. I was told today that I may have to pay if this is not fixed on the outside. I am so upset with AT&T, their initial phone answering machine which is irritating mechanical machine that only made me angrier and did not apply to most of what I wanted. I told my story at least 7 times to service people, tech people, testing people and they basically did not care or I would have got resolution. I am tired to repeating myself and stating same issues over and over again , of telling my employer this is the day and having it go bust.

I have been trying for four years now to get namr corrections made on my AT&T home phone service. My father passed four years ago so I have been trying time after time to get the phone service at my residence transfered into my name. Well everytime I call I have to give my fathers info (since I am the one who has alway handeled and paid for the service since day one)well long long story short AT&T has yet to correct the situation they dont listen to what there customers are telling them they add services not requested and if you ever try to call them get ready to be on hold for a small eternity…..AT&T really sux in my opinion and Im ready to call Vonage and give them a try

Had AT&T service, upgraded to Iphone that didn’t work.. after 4.5 hrs on phone with cust service got them to take it back w/o charging me… Then had soooo much trouble getting a phone activated so I would have a phone to use while the IPhone was being sent back.. still haven’t shown where they have recieved the Iphone back, numerous calls to cust service and can’t get anything resolved, meanwhile my phone works sometimes and sometimes not,, a big deal considering this is my life line for work.

Anyway, called today to tell them to just turn it off and I would get another carrier and of course they are going to charge me $349.00 for ending my contract early because they still show me having an upgrade. Can’t every get anything resolved by calling customer service… so I’m just stuck with shotty service on an old janko phone and paying a full premium bill until they decide they can work something out for me. I WILL NEVE SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT AT&T. They haven’t even attempted to fix the problem….

OMG, Im so pissed I could scream! Back in March I called AT&T to discuss a discrepancy on my phone bill – I was later advised about all products and services.. at the time I was with Direct TV – the representative was very knowledgable and I was very much interested in switching to U-verse – I was offered a $250 cash rebate for doing so and was advised it would take 4-6wks to obtain my “postcard”…so I waited. April I called due to lagging wireless connectivity – I was persuaded to upgrade my AT&T internet and was offered a $20 gift card. (I took it) also inquired about the $250 – in which I was told, it’s still processing.

This morning, I logged in to AT&T to check the status of both rebates – the $20 gift card expired, and was told the $250 never existed – I was told I am eligible to receive $100 rebate and getting over $400 off my bill each month. WHAT THE HELL~!!!! The rebate the ONLY reason why I switched. The AT&T representative was very nice, and she did reactivate the $20 gift card, but told me because I called today… IT WILL NOW TAKE 4-6WKS TO OBTAIN MY $100 GIFT CARD. Really? My bill is $210 per month – I have automatic billing set up so they will always get paid on time.. and now i have to wait an additional 4-6wks?

I’m angry and hurt.. I appreciate being scammmed!

On March 22, 2011 I called AT&T to inquire about signing up for a package deal for TV, Internet and Telephone. The Person I talked to was John and he gave me a phone number to call him back if I decided to purchase. I called and he didn’t answer but called me right back and in our ensuing conversation he told me I could have a package deal for AT&T U-Verse U200, phone and wireless internet for $90.00 per month, including taxes and no contract. He did not mention there was a 6 month or year this price was good for. The service was installed on March31st.

I did not receive a bill and until I received a cut off notice for $436, did I have any idea. After calling AT&T and complaining, They credited me for $100 and I had to pay $146 that day. They said they were billing me online, which was I was not told. I demanded a paper billing and they said they would do that, but my AT&T monthly bill would be $190.00. I was on the phone with several persons and Josh from billing told me it could be brought down to $108.00 plus tax. I said that would work. I still didn’t receive any paper bill and so on June 3rd, I talked to Diane and she wouldn’t back down on the price of $190.

She finally said I was able to get their promotion and brought down the monthly bill to $135 plus taxes. She also said I should have been getting a paper bill. Also she said she was sending me a $100 VISA card. I was at first told I would get a VISA card for $250, plus get HBO and Cinemax free for 3 months. I never received either of these things. Every time I talked to anyone I got a different story. I am thoroughly disgusted with AT&T and am in the process of looking elsewhere for service.

I ordered internet service from at&t on 6-02-11. I was given an account number and was told I would get my moderm by ups by 6-7-11, and that to call the 877 number to activate service by 7pm on 6-7-11. I never received my moderm and no email confirmation or anything. I called att on 6-8-11 and was told no ordered for service could be found. I also was told I wasn’t suppose to be given an account number when ordering, but an order ID number. I had to give all my personal info again, and the at&t rep continue to misquote my info back to me. It seemed like a game to him.

I decided to call and speak to a different at&t rep 3 hours later and was told my first order didn’t go through cause of credit. I just checked my credit scores and all 3 agency shows my scores to be over 700. The only at&t rep that seemed to be concerned and did the right thing was the one that cancelled my order. At least I hope that to be the case.

I am writing this letter to express my great disappointment with the service that I have received from AT&T regarding my order for internet service at my residence. At the beginning of March I called to order new internet service and cancel my existing service of phone and internet. I stated to the person that answered the phone, after I had chosen DISCONNECT as the option, that I wished to disconnect my service and open up a new account but she told me that it would be much easier for me and quicker if I just transferred my service and did not disconnect it.

She assured me that the line was set up for Internet and that the person that had lived in this location before me had it and it was just turned off so it was just a matter of getting someone out there to turn it back on. That was far from true as it turns out when she transferred the account she inputted it as a Business Account. A few days later I received the Modem and other equipment. When I called a few days later I was told there was no such account in the Residential Phone area. I then spent hours each day trying to resolve the issue.

Finally, I got someone that did some research and found that the account was set up as a business account and that is why I was not able to get any answers regarding this. I was also told that it was not just Internet but also phone service that I had gotten. I explained that I only wanted Internet service and her suggestion was to cancel that order and start a new one as a Residential account. I was told at this point it would be another 2 weeks until someone could come out to turn on the Internet service line for me. I came home one day about a week later and saw an AT&T technician on the pole outside my house and he told me there was some problem with the line that goes to the box down the street and he would have to put in a service order to resolve this issue.

I asked him how long this might take and he said he would try to get someone out the next day. After 3 days I called customer service and was told there was no such order on my file and they did not know why someone would tell me that there was a problem with the line. Also I was told at that point that there had never been internet service at this location in the past or phone service and she did not know why the person that had originally taken my order would tell me there was. I was then asked for an alternate contact number in case I got disconnected. Well 2 minutes later as I was put on hold the phone disconnected. Nobody called me back so I went through the whole process again of calling and talking with someone.

I have to say I have spent so many hours inputting my phone number just to have a customer rep ask me for the number again. Then I get asked for my address, my first and last name and then the last 4 digits of my Social Security Number. I can’t believe that there is no way for me to talk to someone that I have already explained everything to. No last names can be given, no extensions are available. No locations as to where the Rep is located are allowed for Security Reasons. I think that is so unfair that your company can ask me for all my personal information but I am not allowed to even know who I am talking with.

Well back to my experience with your company. After this last time of talking to another Rep I was told that the line needed to be “Trunked”. Since I do not work for a phone company I did not know what that was nor do I to this day. I asked the Rep if she could help me get the Internet hooked up and again I was given another date. That day came and went. So now we are into April. All of March has gone by and we are into April. I was given another date in the middle of April. Again that day came and went and nobody came, nobody called, nothing. I then received another package from your company with additional filters and equipment. I called again and talked to what now has to be the 30th person regarding hooking up 1 internet line.

At this point I explained to them my dissatisfaction of the whole process and explained that I did not want to go forward with AT&T and instead would go with Comcast as I could have that set up in one day. I also stated how I had been a customer with your company for over 35 years and that I was so disappointed that a Communication Giant such as yourselves are not very good at communicating with customers. At that point I was asked what it would take to keep me as a customer and make me happy. I said that I would love to have a jack moved in the house next to where I wanted to have the computer set up. I was told that they would install a jack for me at no charge when they came to figure out the internet line.

I asked the Rep is she had the authority to do this and she assured me she could. At that point I was feeling satisfied with the solution even though it had been so long in coming. I was told that the person would be at my house on April 25, 2011 between the hours of 7:00am and 12:00 noon. I waited home all day and at 12:30 pm I again called a customer Rep and was told that my appointment was confirmed for before noon and that I should be patient. I explained to her that it was already 12:30 in my time zone and then I was put on hold. About 10 minutes later I was told that she had contacted dispatch and the tech was running late and that they could not tell me when they would get to the house.

Just before 2:00pm I got a call from the Tech saying he was running late. After he showed up at my house I explained to him the situation and that this was supposed to be a no charge visit. He then told me that the number I had been given was the wrong number. He said alright and went about get the Internet Line turned on and installing the Jack. By the time he left I was able to get on the Internet for the first time since my first order in the beginning of March. I was really happy at that point. So the first day I could actually get on the Internet through AT&T was April 25, 2011.

3 days later I go by my old house and there is a bill from AT&T in the amount of $89.02 for the number that was never working at the new house. I then spent another few hours calling Customer Service and finally talked to an Allan regarding my bill. He credited me the amount and confirmed my new address on Center Avenue and assured me that any new bills would go there. I asked him to check to see if I was just getting Internet service on my new account and he confirmed I was. I then expressed my concerns about the no charge jack installation since I just received this erroneous bill and he checked on my account and said he could see the work order and that there was no charge for it and that my new bills would be for $21.58 per month and all new bills would be sent to my new address.

About 2 weeks ago I was unable to get on line and called the Internet Department for help. The Rep was very nice and spent over an hour with me trying to troubleshoot my problem. She said she was unable to detect my modem and there was nothing else she could do but send me out a new one. She told me that there would be a packing slip for me to return the old modem in the box that the new modem would arrive in. Well a few days later a new modem arrived with other equipment but there was no return package slip in the box. I now have 2 modems, about 12 filters and other items in my possession.

On Monday, May 23 I went by my old house to check the mail and there was a new bill from AT&T for my new number for $311.09 I again called Customer Service and was told that I owed $289.51 plus my internet service and that nobody has the authority to give me a free jack installed at my residence. The bill doesn’t even mention a jack. It says Charge for deregulated wiring in 3 categories ranging from $260.00 to $4.25. I explained this to the Rep on the phone and she was so rude and told me she did not know what these charges were but that I was responsible. I then asked to speak to a supervisor.

She told me that she was going to put me on a Hard Hold. I asked her what she meant and she again said a Hard Hold. I explained to her that I do not work for a Phone company and did not know what that meant. She then explained that it was hold that I would hear music while I waited for a supervisor. Well she did not put me on a hard hold. I could hear her talking to her supervisor that she was going to keep me on hold until I hung up. She then said she could take care of the issue but didn’t like my attitude and laughed and then came back on the line to me and said she was transferring me to her supervisor. The Supervisor got on the phone and said that she would credit me $85.00 but that is all she would do.

I asked for her Supervisor and was told that I could not speak to them. I inquired to why and was told to hold. At that point the line went dead. I again called back and talked to a Mark who said he would put in a request for someone to call me. I am still waiting. Yesterday, May 25, I called customer service to check on an update and talked to Annabelle. She said she was unable to help me but would transfer me to the Repair area as that is where the billing came from. She transferred me to Michelle but it was in the Uverse department and she was not able to help. She then transferred me to the billing department who said he could not help and I needed the collection department.

He said he would transfer me and instead sent me to the same automated system that I had started with 2 hours previously. I then found the number to the person that installed the Jack at my house. I called him up and he remembered doing the work. When I asked him if he remembered me saying when he arrived that this was supposed to be free of charge he confirmed hearing me say that. He then went on to say that everyone tells him that and that he had every intention of sending in a bill for the work. I wonder if everyone that tells him that it is supposed to be free of charge is because that is the answer they get from a Customer Service Rep. If I had known that I would have been billed even $1.00 (One Dollar) I would have asked him to leave before he even started the work.

I have spent at least 3 hours each week since I first called to set up my service. I can not tell you how frustrating it is trying to resolve an issue with your Company. It is so disappointing. I have to say that if just one person had called me in the past 2 months to say that they were sorry for the inconvenience, sent me a note or anything it would go a long way to making someone feel better. Unfortunately I have found out from some of the Reps that although they ask for an alternate contact number in case there is a disconnection once you are disconnected they are immediately transferred to the next person waiting in line and are unable to call anyone back.

When your Customer Reps answer the phone they always say something like “How can I make you a very satisfied customer today”. Well that is a great motto but I feel that either your reps are not given the authority to do what needs to be done to help a customer or that line is bogus. It is so disappointing to see how this whole process works. At this point I want the $289.51 removed from my bill, I want a letter stating that this was done, a written apology over this whole situation and a contact name and number to someone that I can talk to if another situation like this arises again.

Thank you for your time on this matter.

Sincerely,

Paul Gregory

I was with Verizon for 10 yrs, never had a problem with their service at all. When AT&T called saying they could give better service for alot less we took the offer since money was a little tight. Since we were cancelling our Verizon contract early and had 3 lines At&T offered, via written communication, to give us credit for all the early cancel fees. I got my first bill not credits for the cancellation fees, I called AT&T and was told the sales rep that promised had left and they could not confirm the credits, even though I had email proof. After getting nowhere I dropped the issue. Only 1 phone on my account has data plan.

3/15/11 I needed to add a 4th line. I went into a local AT&T store, gave them authorization to add a 4th line for an additional $9.99p/m picked a simple flip phone, with no data plan capabilites. I specifically stated that no data plan was needed 3/16/11 I left for vacation out of the country for 3 weeks. On returning i get an $840 cell phone bill. When I checked the bill, I found that not only was a line added, but data plans for this ph (that did not have data capabilities), but the other 2 lines on my account were added data plans, some unlimited voice-voice plans, unlimited SMS plans TO EACH PHONE.

To make it worse, my personal phone, that was not due for upgrade until 2012 had a contract renewal and upgrade to an I-Phone. I went back to the store and asked them to remove all the items that were put on. Of course NO ONE knows how they got put on. While standing at the store they went online and told me they had changed the phone back to my regular phone and that all the additional charges would be removed. weekend and half later I get a notice from AT&T that my service will be disconnected if Ididn’t pay the $840. I checked my account online and discovered that not one thing had been changed.

So I have no idea what they were doing while I was at the store but they did not do what they said they were doing. I called AT&T CS direct, spent over an hour on the phone trying to convince the CSR that I did not have an Iphone – no contract – thank fully the women was nice and removed all the unauthorized additions and changed my phone back. I am going to switch back to Verizon. I do not trust AT&T. There business practices are deceptive and there is no one to complain to as the stores and CSR’s on their CS lines dont give a dam. I do intend to file a complaint with the attorney generals office and bbb.

I recently discovered another person who has been having similar problems for the past 6 months.

Where shall I start? Maybe I’m aggravated that every week I get at least two brochures in the mail from AT&T extolling the virtues of U-verse, with some outlandish price advertised. The brochures and letters from AT&T have been coming for the last year. Obviously, if they are sending them to every house in the country,(or even 1/10th. of the households), it’s costing them gajillions to promote their product, a product that is, (as far as I can determine), NOT being accepted by the public. (Well, maybe it’s being purchased by some folks that don’t know the value of money because they are making more $$$ than they deserve).

Regardless, whether AT&T mail advertises their U-verse alone, or in bundles, if you go to the televison, you’ll see them advertising the very same thing at $20-$30 less. There are those folks out there that have virtually nothing going through their heads, don’t have a useful outlet for their free time and can sit hour after hour watching crap on television. These must be the people that have agreed to pay the big money to AT&T. There’s no fixing stupid. For those folks thinking of spending their childrens inheritance on U-verse, GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN “U-verse scam” That should give you a few things to think about.

I have been with Verizon since about year 2000. I have at times had 5 phones on my plan allways paid on time. I was without any warning sold to att. I had to spend two sat. mornings with my husband at Verizon and att stores trying to figure out what was going on,this is my precious day off. I don’t allways get sat off, going back and forth between Verizon and att to figure out when this was going to take place I had felt I had to put up a fight to stay with Verizon when really they sould be nicer to a client that has been with them for this many years.

My husband on his day off Friday spent 3 hours between Verizon and Att returning these phones we did’nt want from Att.and after all that we had a new plan he did’nt even know what plan and we lost our old plan I liked. We were treated like morans when we were trying to keek our phones we lost the nunbers, passwords. We had to program all that back in. All to stay with Verizon and a plan he did’nt even understand by now. I felt we could of had a heart attack over all of this we were very upset that Verizon did’nt treat us with respect and made us feel like we were people not a number that they had to cut down.

Well It was a very upsetting situation and caused a lot of stress to my husband and I that are older and we have been faithfull to Verizon paying our bills through the years. Badly handled caused a lot of stress I’m just glad either my husband and I didn’t have a heart attack over this we were close at times. The people that tryed to help us at Verizon they didnt even know what was going on but they tryed to help, we know its beyond them they do what they can.

The lack of customer service and no help when it comes to solving the problems we are having. Instead of working with customer service, they ignored us the know they can get away with it! I have contacted at&t customer service six times since October 2010 at 1-888-707-2840 for a return label so I can return the DSL router and adapter I received from them on October 2010 which did not work. On each and every call they promise to send a return label but no return label has ever been received. On 3 occasions I have requested to speak to a supervisor and each and every time the supervisor was not available and no supervisors ever did call back.

In addition I am been charge $10.00 for a DSL equipment and a $5.00 for a USB adapter every month since October 2010. Definitely a terrible company to do business with.

Me and my family have been AT&T customers for years. We live in Texas miles from where the bad fires are at. We havnt been able to use our phones in days because of poor cell phone signal service here. This was a critical time to want your phone to work! We have made complaints with AT&T and they have still done nothing to help us during this time. A total of 5 phones not working, and who knows the amount more of AT&T customers. They should reimburse us for our loss.

ATT Uverse is hard selling their packages, and then coming on install day, not finishing, but disconnecting existing internet service. There they leave you hanging 9 to 10 days for next the next install visit. When you call, no-one can help. This has happened to me and numerous others. ATT Uverse are misrepresenting a product they cannot support which should be reported to the FTC. When the agents are asked if they could operate without internet service for 9 days, they say of course not – yet they are OK with me to be without it for 10 days.

How ironic that an Information Tech Company, can operate this way and get away with it. This is willful negligent behavior that is costing the consumer millions – they deserve to pay big penalties. Upper management there knows exactly what they are doing, this = bad faith and intent = big punitives.

Last July (2010) I bought an AT&T Palm Pixie cell phone. This phone has turned out to be a nightmare. It freezes constantly; I have problems with error messages regarding my emails; it won’t power off after being on a long time; I have a hard time “waking it up”; the keypad doesn’t make a full connection many times. I’ve even had to replace the cheap case that it came in four times! I have gotten absolutely nowhere with AT&T. The best they can do is to replace it with a “re-manufactured” phone. In other words, someone else’s problem phone, plus it wouldn’t even come with a battery.

I’m so sick of AT&T and getting the run-around with them I could spit. I can’t wait for my contract to expire so I can switch to another carrier. If anyone out there is considering buying an AT&T Palm Pixie, run don’t walk to another company and to another phone.

My family and I have AT&T as our phone carrier. From the beginning, the service was horrible and our phone calls were dropped or not made at all. Therefore, my family decided to cancel the contract and sign with Verizon while we had 3 months left with AT&T. But before we terminated the contract, I have called AT&T twice asking how much the termination fee would be if canceled, once in mid- November and once in January. In November, they told me it was $60 all together. However when I called on January 25th at 12:40pm, they told it was $80 all together for a 4-member family plan and that they do not have any record of me calling at all in November or before or after about the termination fee.

When we canceled the contract, we called them to make sure again. However this time, they told me it is $70 each person. That is $280 in total. That is not what the representative had told me when I called. When I called AT&T back about this issue, they told me they have no record of me calling at all in January either. They have changed the price and lied to me three times. I talked to the supervisor but all he told me was to pay the $280. AT&T has lied to me three times and now giving me no choice but to pay the $280. I do not want to pay for the mistake of AT&T and their representatives. Is there anything I can do?

AT&T prepaid cell phone GO PHONE will NOT refund prepaid money if you cancel service. I prepaid $100 so minutes would not expire for one year. I road cross-country on my motorcycle – and found very poor coverage outside cities. I came home and wanted to cancel the go phone cell service with AT&T but there is a problem. They still have over $80 of mine which they will NOT refund. Do NOT buy the Go Phone, you won’t GO anywhere but into complaints.

I have been an AT&T uverse customer for 2 years, my tv’s freeze and pixelate, this is the worst service I have ever had! I am trying to get a refund, and must take them to court because they won’t give me more than $100. I am disabled with MS, and don’t think I should be treated this way. AT&T sends out people to fix it, but nobody fixes it? I have proof of the frozen & pixalated shows on my DVR, I missed the world series, and the whole week of free cinamax. I won’t stop with court, I will get all the pay channels a chance to drop them before I complain about all the movies that freeze. This is wrong , and I won’t be taken advantage of! If anyone wants to go class action suit, let me know?

Dear Sir/Madam: This letter is the final attempt on our part to resolve a series of problems resulting from inaccurate and false billings followed by verbal and written harassment from Credit Collection agency on behalf of AT&T. In this regards we feel we have been bullied into paying for services neither ordered by us nor provided by AT&T. For more than four months we have patiently spent hours on end in discussions with numerous individuals at AT&T. Though all the employees we dealt with were pleasant and promised to resolve the problem, they did not.

All our attempts to explain the same situation, again and again, have turned futile. On scores of occasions, during each call, we were put on endless holds to repeat the same story again and again to different people without resolving the problem. Your company and its management has put us through nothing but traumas, one after another. We would like to put this matter to an end. For your understanding of the situation as it developed. we have put together the following step by step narrative for your comprehension.

In October 2010, My wife – Mrs Nellie D. Unwalla called AT&T to find out a few things about our bill. The person who came on the line started out by answering: “hello, this is John, how can I make you a happy customer?” At that point she responded with a question about lowering our phone bills for the existing phone system. He looked at our account and said he could do it. He said all it would take was for the AT&T technician to come to the house and disconnect some wires etc. He suggested that it was very simple and he would fix a day when that could be done and let us know. Well the technician came a few days after to the house to disconnect the existing box and connect a new box. When he told us the system was all set, I tried to check the system by using the speed dial feature.

That feature did not work. When I questioned the technician about it, he informed me that we could not use speed dial on this service. We were quite shocked by his response . All of us are quite old and need frequent medical rescue and hospitalization, particularly myself at 83 and my brother at 89. In such circumstances use of speed call system was a matter of life and death. No amount of pleadings and persuasions with mounting frustrations got us anywhere and the situation was not redressed till mid November when we called up AT&T and questioned them for their lethargic response to our strife. Their response to our insistence on immediate redress, was that we were now U-VERSE customers with a radically different plan.

We NEVER asked for such a plan, and NEITHER were we told that the box they were INSTALLING was for U-VERSE. We immediately insisted that AT&T remove all the unauthorized fixtures and restore the original system as it was before they started. The same plan we had before this whole fraud was perpetrated on us. They agreed but with a great reluctance and consternation. Instead of the matter ending there new headaches started during the disconnect and reconnect period. We had no phone service for almost a month. The phone would ring only twice and shut down. The answering machine went mute. We could use the phone to call out , but could not get the incoming calls, no one could leave any messages, no voice mail, no speed dial. As if all these atrocious activities on the part of AT&T was not enough, the company had some serious problems with its DSL system. For three months this situation brought all my academic and occupational activities to a stand still.

After SCORES of calls for countless hours and pleadings with apparently incompetent people in AT&T management, billing and in technical services you now have the audacity to threaten us with the groundless demands from Credit Collection Agency?

I take this matter seriously and will not rest till we have received a written notice of retraction of your false claims. Rather, I expect an official apology for what has been inflicted on law abiding citizens like us. In all our lives, not a single bill remains unpaid.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, as the next step, I am planning to take my complaint to Federal Communication Commission.

Respectfully,

I have not received my ugg boots i ordered from the ugg boot store website approximately two weeks ago. I bought and got confirmation of ugg order still waiting to get them in the mail. Really like these boots! My order number is UMII001650 and i paid 93.00 dollars no shipping please let me know if this order was received and if the boots have been shipped. Thank You!

AT&T is the most incompetent corporation I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Every month I have to call them to correct THEIR mistakes on my bill. I have spent 6 hours on hold over the past 3 months. If you can avoid AT&T please do it! If you don’t you’ll see just what I’m talking about…..

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Purchased TV and internet through AT&T. The sales person told me if I bought the NFL package I would receive free HD for life which is a extra $10.00 a month. Every bill I have received has had the $10.00 charge. I also bought internet from AT&T which I was told would be $9.95. My first bill was $47.00 so I called they said this was normal that I would not be billed for up coming months. I have not and will not pay this bill. I have spoken to six sales people and four managers and none of them can fix these over charges by AT&T. I was also told I was going to get a $40.00 credit from one of the managers two month ago and still have not received it. If you are thinking of going with AT&T give it another thought!

I called AT&T and tried to talk to somebody who would explain to me HOW I got this huge charge, and all I got from them was “this is YOUR bill you have to pay it”. I finally got a hold of some “supervisor” who apparently was some snot-nosed hate-monger…he screamed and yelled at me “ITS YOUR BILL YOU PAY IT”! I had AT&T years before this, and they tried to screw me over then, by adding other peoples charges to my phone bill…people who never paid their phone bills. This is what they were doing now…trying to get me to pay for OTHER peoples phone bills. Nobody would listen to me, but I filed complaints with all the appropriate places anyway. AT&T is a monster and must be shut down. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

The AT&T rebate my Mother has been confirmed is for $100, and was to be sent September… it is November! My $100 rebate should have been able to be confirmed and their online system fails on my ID input. I have called them 3- times in 3-months. I paid for this modem with the condition that I got my $$$ back in the form of this bogus ‘rebate’. This DSL service pays them up front for their modem with a promise [in writing] that I will get it back in the form of a VISA card, and AT&T has failed at every step to deliver on two different accounts.

AT&T U-verse was installed awhile back I now have their cable TV, Internet, and home phone. The person I called in U-verse support told me everything would be okay and it wasn’t being shut down at all. He didn’t know why I received the notice. Then, I receive a notice telling my “special promo rate” was being withdrawn for I had canceled my cell phone with them and that that would drop me below having three products with them – what it took to qualify for the promo. As bad as Charter is here, I’d stick with them if I were a customer. I am seriously considering totally switching back from U-verse after this experience with their “promo rate”.
