AT&T Complaints Continued... (Page 26)
1405+ reviews added so far. Upset? Call AT&T corporate: 1 (800) 331-0500AT&T is putting in cable lines on the highway easement and on my property. Property address: 3070 State Route, Hwy 121 North, Murray, Ky 42071. I was told last week by ATT Engineer, Shelby Allen, that the project in my front yard was complete and that this week they would be back out to seed and straw the open ground in my front yard. The workers did return this week, but not to seed and straw, but to make larger opening on the property - thus the yard looks much worse - not improved.
I began discussion with ATT Engineer, Neil Lindsey - then he went on vacation, then I talked with Shelby Allen, Engineer - now he is on vacation. I have left about 3 messages for Mr. Lindsey to return a call. He will not answer his phone and will not return messages left requesting a returned call.
Last Saturday, I drove Hwy. 121 N. from Murray to Mayfield. The damage to my property is far worse than any other property, with the exception of one Church Cemetery. Please send me the name and contact information of the person I can talk or email. My cell: 901-826-4971. Kathleen Fisher
Want to cancel Connectech I am a 73 year old senior citizen living on social security cannot afford it but foolishly signed up for it thinking it was a plan to service my computer and was desperate at the time thinking it was a connection problem. Signed up with service rep, talked to computer tech, realized the error of this plan with the computer tech, transferred back to service rep, told her I wanted to cancel and was told it would cost me $110.00 to do so. I will have to pay $15.00 each month for 12 months a total of $180.00. I do not want and cannot afford it.
On September 14, 2012, I applied online for ATT wireless and paid for 2 iphone 4s. The original package was lost by the Coppell, Texas post office, which I in turn filed a complaint with the Post Office General (and I have a copy). I then called ATT and they sent out replacement phones, but forgot my trailor number, #90, which I have said in every single conversation with them when verifying my address, and since they didnt have my accurate address, fed ex could not deliver it and I had to have it shipped back to att. I called again today (10/05/12) and got the run around for the most part, but instead of adding the #90 to my account and re shipping my phones, which service has started on already, they send me to another place which has to call me back in 24 to 48 hours. All I want is my phones! I do not wish to change my address, only for them to put my trailor number on it and reship them! I did not appreciate getting sent from department to department. No one wanted to help me get this settled, they keep passing the buck. And why schedule call backs if they are not going to do it? NOT HAPPY WITH ATT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I signed a two year contract with Att I believe in Sept. 2012. Every month I have had to call them because they over charge me. My first bill was a hundred plus dollars more than it was suppose to be. In Dec. I was overcharged . I called customer service and was told from that month on my bill would be 130.00 a month. This was a recorded conversation. I knew it didn't sound right because I have two smart phones and a basic simple flip phone. The rep said she wanted me to be happy and that she was fixing my bill to reflect this amount because of all the trouble in the prior months I had been thru.
I made her repeat the price more than once and ask her " is my bill going to be 130.00 per month every month now?" She stated it was and said she was changing my data plan to a better plan and all that. I was happy with this. I get my Jan. bill and it was 230. + dollars! I call att. The rep I spoke with said he was sorry the rep on Dec. had quoted me that price but they were not able to honor what she had told me my bill would be because I had two smart phones and a 10 gb plan. I ask them if they had record that their rep. Told me after lengthy conversation that this price was being offered to me because of the problems I have had to go thru.
After a very long period of absolute dissatisfact with AT&T, I decided to drop the wireless service. This was back on Sept. 17. I received an incredible bill of 243.70. So I called and was told this was because of my early termination. My phone service was upgraded because I had to get new phones because the store here could not, nor did they try, to fix them. I thought that my contract on both phones had expired. I did not realize, nor was I told, that by getting the new phones I had authmatically upgtraded. I am so furious with AT&T. They will very soon lose my U verse business. The last few times I visited the store, I was treated rudely for the most part and with total indifference. My feeling was they felt that being a big business like AT&T they can do without my business. I switches services and paid what I thought was my last bill. They I get this. I know no one with ATT give a crap about what I feel or how badly I have been treated. I will spend the rest of my days on earth trying to convince everyone I know not to do business with ATT. I'm not just an old man I am a very angry one.
U-verse equipment was to be delivered on 2/15/12 to replace my DSL AT&T left me a message saying the equipment was on back order and wouldn't deliver it till next week. The morning of 2/15/12 I couldn't connect via DSL. For 2 days I spoke with 4 second level support people (among other people) , 2 of which said DSL had been disconnected, but couldn't reconnect as they would have to place an order and it would take 2 to 5 day to have is reconnected. They said that wasn't an option and to wait for u-verse. They didn't offer to put an order in. I got transferred.
The other 2 second level support people said my modem was defected and I had to buy another modem. I finally got to Retention and they ordered a modem for me but would take 2 day for delivery, it would be here on Sat. the 18th I can return it and get my money back. It was ordered. After hanging up I decided to buy my own modem to see what happens. I bought an AT&T Motorola DSL modem. When I installed it on the afternoon of the 16th, I got the exact same results as my old modem was giving me; there was no connection and the green lights were on with DSL flashing green.
So I'm back on the phone, I finally am transferred to a 3rd level support or 'corporate' something, the department that can reconnect DSL. Jerry did so but wouldn't tell me it was reconnected, he just said he ran tests. I still didn't have DSL connected. I asked if would be worth putting my old modem back and he said probably not. He ordered a technician to come to my place the next morning. We hung up.
Then I decided to reconnect my old modem and it worked. A very frustrating time. The customer service, the support team all badly need training. They are best at being kind and saying 'I'm sorry and will get this resolved today' which they didn't. They were wrong about my old modem going bad. They were wrong about not being able to get DSL reconnected. THEY WERE AWFUL OR HAVE NO TRAINING - SOMETHING IS WRONG. (Or are they to get the customer off the phone quickly?
Are they graded on how many phone calls they take in a day? If so, it makes for a horrible company) It took 2 full days to get this fixed and over 7 hours on the phone. REALLY POOR SERVICE. It could have been fixed immediately. The technician called the next morning before coming to my place and he said that this happens all the time. Also, the next morning I got a phone for feedback, I was not at home. I called back the next afternoon to give feedback and they would not take it. I got a recording say I had a limited time to give feedback. VERY POOR. I've left out some of the happening but hopefully you understand the poor poor service.
When I told AT&T/support what had happened on my first call on the morning of 2/15/12, why wasn't I transferred to the department that reconnects DSL . It would have been immediately fixed. Very poor service. Pat in Chicago
On Monday, January 2, 2012, the battery in the UPS of my AT&T UVerse unit failed, causing my TV, internet, and home phone to go out. We called customer service, who told us that a new battery would be delivered by 5:00 P.M. on Wednesday, January 4. When no battery arrived, we called customer service again on January 5. They told us that, du to "High Demand," they could not deliver a battery, replacement unit or otherwise get us ANY service until January 24 or after.
My wife spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T UVerse customer service (apparently in India), even speaking to a supervisor, but all they could tell us was that they were "sorry." We have cancelled AT&T and gone back to Charter Cable, which is actually $20 per month cheaper and has twice the Internet speed. I'm looking into moving my six mobile phone numbers from AT&T, as their mobile service has been lacking as well. I hope they figure out their customer service issues quickly or AT&T will lose thousands of customers quickly!
We moved 2 months ago and switched from traditional service to AT&T UVerse. It was not available at our old address. A week and a half ago, our password would not work for our email address (@sbcglobal.net). We have used that email address for over 10 years, which we set up through AT&T and our original AT&T internet service. I tried to reset the password, but it would not accept our zip code, last 4 digits of SS#, nor D.O.B. We were then locked out of our email account. There is no info through Yahoo/SBC/AT&T on how to contact customer service, you must send online messages and provide an alternate email address and a phone number. I did.
As of today (10 days later) I still had no response. So I called the number listed for email and internet customer service. I was on the phone for nearly two hours, with 4 different agents. I was told my email address ends in att.net, not sbcglobal.net. What?! I think I know my own email address that I've logged into every day, sometimes several times a day, for over 10 years. Then I was told I needed to speak to DSL. Was transferred, and then was told it happened w/ the move, even though we moved 60 days ago and the email quit working 10 days ago.
Then I was told I would need to speak to someone else and was transferred back to the main customer service automated line. Ended up right back where I started. Was told I was lying and that my email address is att.net. I asked for the phone number for the legal department and was told there is no such thing. Then I was told I need to speak to SBC Global. I was put on hold for 10 minutes. Agent came back and said he was transferring me. Put on hold for another 10 minutes. Agent came back, said he was transferring me. Then I was hung up on. I was also notified during the many conversations with numerous agents that there is no one at any customer service number working inside the U.S.
I'm so happy we're all throwing our hard earned American dollars at a company that outsources 100% of their customer service, when so many in our country are without jobs right now. AT&T just started a sh&t storm with me. Here we damn well go again. I have just about had enough of getting pushed around from pillar to post with ruddy automated systems. Whatever happened to spreaking to REAL people. All I want is for someone to call me to resolve the issue of a blocked access to my Live account. This is the second account that you have blocked and it is taking longer and longer to resolve. I have followed the procedure set out on "The Automated System" and got absolutely nowhere.
I ordered my service over the phone (DSL Only)...That was a month ago...I still do not have DSL....
I have called for Help..Several times! Not one person has been able to help me...

I have not Heard from anyone...Really..They have so much business they don't care about New Customers..?

I was having problems with my samsung galaxy III applications not working. I have only had my phone one month or less and these problems were reoccurant. Therefore, I called the problem in to customer care warrant department. The representative informed me that they will send a replacement phone and I should send my phone in within 10 days after recieving the replacement with NO damages. I mailed my phone with no damages. Days later att&t mailed back my phone and the screen was craked. I called the next day to at&t and spoke with Lashay Antione and she stated that there was nothing that they could do about it and that I would be charged for the phone. I explained that the phone was not craked when I sent it off. She was telling me that the box was not damaged or any signs of entry so It was my fault and I had to pay the full price. Afterwards she stated that I could pay $199.99 for the phone. i wanted to speak with a supervisor and he, Odanu Brown 0B249B, stated the same thing. In closing, I know that I sent the phone in and it was not craked or damaged therefore, I am requesting for some other alternatives to settle this problem.
My daughter has had her att.net email address for over 5 years. She is serving in the US army, stationed in Germany. Two days ago, she was able to access her emails. Today, her email account said it was inactive. I was on the phone for over two hours trying to resolve this isuue. I spoke to a total of 7 different reps, who kept re-routing me to the same department. One rep said she had to call me back because of a bad connection, and never did. I explained the same story over and over. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Several of the reps were argumentative, as I tried to explain I had just spoken to somebody in their dept. Now, my daughter in Germany serving her country can not access any emails from her superiors. That is beautiful-so glad we switched to AT&T-direct tv or comcast is sounding better and better.

For a number of years I lived at 2818 Eaglerock Circle, Missouri City, Texas 77489. At this residence I had telephone, internet and e-mail services through ATT. Through this arrangement, I established an e-mail (adacooper@sbcglobal.net).
In October 2008, I moved to a new residence: 3815 Pleasant Valley Drive, Missouri City, Texas 77459. I was pleased that I did not have to change my phone number and could get ATT internet, e-mail, and U-Verse services at my new location. I specifically requested the same service that I currently had with the addition of UVerse. On the phone, a friendly and seemingly well-informed ATT representative assured me that she could set up the move for me.
My disillusionment with ATT was apparent, when in September 2012, I neglected to pay the phone bill. I was horrified when my e-mail was terminated. I use this e-mail address in my work to maintain contacts with associates. When I called to request reinstallment of the service and to pay the bill, I was asked if my internet service was currently available. When I responded that I could still go online, I found out that I had been paying twice for the same internet service. Although I had been paying the phone bill and U-VERSE separately, I never thought that a company that I trusted would charge me twice for the same service.
I am putting this in writing because I find it almost impossible to speak to a person via telephone. My unfortunate incident in September cost me a days work as I stayed at home, talking to at least ten different departments and individuals. I am having extreme difficulty in finding an address or phone number where I can voice this concern. The result, I had to pay the phone bill twice. Once with the online service that I usually pay with, and again over the phone with the ATT representative. I was told that this was the only way I could get e-mail reinstated.
I am really shocked that this has happened to me. You may attribute it to stupidity on my part, but I attribute it to a ATT representative that failed to provide me with the services that I requested.
I would hate to leave ATT. I have been a loyal customer for years. My question is what can be done to rectify this situation. If nothing is done, I will have no other choice but to leave ATT and find a company that will not charge me twice for the same service.
I know that it is difficult for Managers, executives, directors to provide solutions to every person's problems, but I think this is one that demands someone's attention.
I hope to hear from someone soon!
Will not turn my service back on when I just cancleded it one day ago.I have talk to several person on they side.Was told it would be on by midnight one night,never happened.I have been talking to them for three days now.Was told it would be on the following day by a manager Lidia opp # LM829x is what she gave me!Still no service.I have been with this company AT&T for well over thirty years.
ON 8/16/2013, around 7:30 PM, we received a call from Windows Tech Mgt. Dept. that stated our computed was filled with many viruses and was about to crash. We believe that the caller was engaging in fraud and did not represent Windows. They gave a phone number of 212-351-5409. We believe they are cold call marketers who are using the name Windows to sell they products. When I asked questions, they became nasty and used profanity to "abuse me".
I called AT&T about the TV commercial offering internet for $14.95. I was told that that price was only if you had other services. They were having a special for $24.95 a month for 12 months. I asked what other costs would there be that I wanted to know exactly how much to know if I could afford internet at all. They told me the 2 in 1 modem/router I would have to buy for $100. I was told that there would be a one time service fee of $36.00. I was told that there would not be a technician fee unless he came in. I told them he would not have to come in because I already had many jacks.
I was told there would not be any taxes or charges of any kind. I repeated that the only charges would be the $24.95 per month for one year, the $36.00 service fee and the $100. for the modem/router. That is all I agreed to. I received my bill and it read that I would be paying $38.00 a month for service, which later they told me that I agreed to that price for 3months, which I did not. I also received a $40. technician fee, and the $100. for the modem/router and $10.83 for something else. After calling them to complain and telling them I did
Not agree to $38.00 a month and that they were scamming me on the $40. technician fee etc. they told me that I had agreed to all that and that was that. No attempts to correct the billing. I am furious. I waited a long time to get internet because I could not afford it. I didn't even have a computer until Dec. and was afraid of all companies offering internet service because of the bait and switch scams. I wish I never had even gotten a computer. I was content to go to the library. All free. No troubles.
I am curious how to get the modem rebate for AT&T uverse service, as this was the primary reason I signed up for the bundle plan. Included in the package was a tv box top, a high speed modem, and all the cables included to hook things up. Once the tech came out to my house, that was the last I heard of them.
Setting up uverse internet was smooth and easy, but when it comes to the financial part of it I have to say that I'm less than pleased. I'm counting on the rebate included in the purchase price to offset the costs, and AT&T customer service has been very difficult to get in touch with!
I have called their customer service line but it's only available during normal business hours, which is hard for me to get away from work to do so. They have to understand the problems of working men and women right?
Unfortunately where I live that aren't that many choices of internet providers so I am pretty much stuck with AT&T regardless of how I feel about them. Until my area gets Verizon FIOS or Comcast I'm screwed here...
Our monthly service with AT&T is $9.57 which includes Unlimited NW Call Plus . We were told that with internet it would run us about $60.00. OK, no problem. We tried calling out but had to dial 1 first , so we called AT &T and wanted to know why we had to dial 1 first. They said we had to dial the 1 first but verified that we had unlimited calling. Opened the bill today and instead of $ 60.00, the bill was $ 170.72 . Got on the internet with AT &T Chat and spent 45 minutes just to be told in the end that I would have to call a number on the phone. Of course, it is night time and I have to call back tomorrow. I am upset that AT & T has misled us about their fees and what they included, that I spend 45 minutes of time to be told that I would have to call another number, and that they are over charging us for services we need. We did not ask for the Long distance service, why would we need it with Unlimited calling? The rep could not answer my questions. Lies, ALL LIES !
AT&T Disconnected phone service now on a montly basis, like clock work. AT&T disconnected my service on Dec. 15th, 2014, do to a 1 day late payment. Then again on Jan. 15th, Now AGAIN on Sat. Feb. 15th. This is a scam and they refuse to remove the additional $35.00 fee + taxes + sur charges. Payments have been made. Have they sunk so low to produce revenue that they disconnect service on a monthly basis. Additional late fees of $7.00. My service is only 28.00/mn but Now with the late chgs. and $35.00 fee + taxes it averages 75.00/mn. They refuse to clear up this matter and set the record straight. This is a SCAM!
My dsl internet service was disconnected without my consent for Uverse Internet plan. It was installed but my regular wired phone service and my old phone number were also disconnected without my consent for Uverse Voice. I want my my regular wired phone service back or I will have to change to other phone service company. AT&T lied to us and I feel like there is nothing I can do about it now. I have called customer service at length but no response and a very long hold time is all I got for my efforts!
So tired of AT&T high cost poor service. People should be allowed to choose the carrier of their choice instead having to be forced to accept what is in their area only or do without service. Thought they said that America is a free country, really, well you should be free to choose your own carrier not forced to choose the carrier they assigned to you leaving you no other choice to have to choose them or be without service, this should be very unconstitutional. I guess America is only a free country for the wealthy to ripoff the poor.
I recently got out of the Marine Corps and I'm now a full time student. I am unable to get internet in my home in order to do school work and pursue my education. I was told that there is a cap on how many people they can give internet where I live, but I talked to a friend that's an engineer for at&t and he told me to file a complaint in order to get this issue resolved. He said that at&t will increase the cap in order to give me internet in my home. I'm a veteran and a full time student, and I believe that they should be able to work with me. I've been a customer for about 3 years now and hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible.
I called ATT today about an email I received (1/8/15) letting me know that I had been "undercharged" for the last few months. Due to discovery of this "error" I can expect my service to increase by $5. Now, this may not seem like much, but 1-they notified me after they had made the change (on 12/29/14), and 2-I was already paying the regular rate (as was verified when I called them 8/2014 after my new customer rate had ended). They are entitled to increase their rates, as I saw a notice on their website indicating higher 2015 rates. That said, my Dec/Jan bill specifically indicates that I ("You") made a plan change that instigated this increased rate. And, because they made the change mid-billing cycle, I got to pay almost $3 more in taxes. Thanks, ATT! <Not really.> Now, I'm at $8 more on my current bill, which I find ridiculous for the spotty internet service we get. Unfortunately, (if you can believe it) given our location in Fort Worth, TX, there is no other internet service provider for my geographical area. So, I guess I'll just pay my bill and suck it...for now. But, I wanted the world to know...ATT sucks!
I have been a very good customer but continue to have issues with no resolution or a sense of urgency from AT&T. This organization does not have the capabilities of servicing a customer from a start point to a resolution with out going through therr ridiculous processes. I currently have an issue with a AT&T line and live box hanging in the middle of the alley due to the City of Dallas moving a power pole. Trying to explain to customer service was a nightmare as I was transferred to multiple divisions including billing. After being on the phone with these folks for two hours they finally were able to book a service tech. They arrived the next day and understood the importance that that the line hanging in the middle of the alley needed to be relocated so the customers hooked up to this live box would not lose services.
They did not have the capabilities to move the line and called in another department to do so. The next service tech showed up to explain that the active line hanging down from the powerline in the alley was acceptable and he was not going to move it to the new city power pole. He went on to send in a message that his job was complete and I received a text message indicating my services were resolved. Since I have had Uverse TV, Internet, Phone I have been with out services for 9 days this year because of incompetent service techs in the field. If you want a company that provides customer service and solutions to issues you will have with this provider , please do not pick up the phone and call AT&T Uverse.
At&t allows unsolicited calls to be repeatedly sent to my phone number. At&t knows of these calls and the numbers from where they are being placed. Our local authority (Sheriff Dept.), is aware of the harassing calls to many of the area phone numbers in this city as well as others counties around us. You cannot block the numbers since At&t allows their numbers (multiplies), to continue their service. I have cell phones also but not with At&t.... My consideration now is to totally disconnect from At&t my phone line which will include their U-verse internet service. I guess it is all about the money since the harassers have so many numbers they (At&t) profit a hundred times more than what I pay them...
On Jan 16, 2015 my 88 yo widowed aunt was billed for IDL Teleservices on her AT&T bill for a recurring $4.95/month plus fees. She has no computer and allows ALL incoming calls to go to voicemail because of scammers (ie she did not "sign up" for services). Thanks AT&T...just so you don't feel lonely at the top I did file a complaint with the FCC and Florida State Attorney General's office. Happy New Year.
In Ocala, Fl AT&T Call Center is employing a woman by the name of Yvonne McDonald-Garcia who has a serious substance & alcohol abuse problem. McDonald-Garcia abuses prescription drugs, cocaine, & alcohol at home & during her work shifts at AT&T. McDonald-Garcia has a number of illegal drug transactions taking place within her home regularly. McDonald-Garcia has also connected with other AT&T employees who is aiding her in hacking numerous internet accounts/profiles & cellphone accounts for individuals, a service I believe she is collecting financial revenue for providing.
My phone don't answer sometime it drop calls it don't pick up apps at&t app expire etc but i have to pay for service from july-oct without int they say that a part of the contract i will pass the work about these service i will never call for any service from ar7t again soon as my contract is up i rather use a government phone. I am so so so so so disappoint with at&t with all these bad bad bad service so good bye in november i wil be filing a complaint with bbs and whom ever will listen and do something about this rip off.
You would think there would be a maintainable level of respect with this company but it does not exist. Clearly the mobile phone industry is way to big for its britches and AT&T lead the pack in bad behavior. The remedy is unclear but I'm starting by buying my own phone and having the ability to move on in 6 weeks. disgusting people....
I talked to a gentleman about getting only internet that was compatible with Netflix. He signed me up for a $34.95 promotion that was going on which included home phone. I told him that I only wanted internet and he told me that I did not need to use the house phone because it came with the internet and it was a bundle. I looked at my e-mail and it stated that I have my own house phone number and everything. I called back today (1/19/2015) and told the lady that all I wanted was internet compatible with Netflix and it was cheaper than what the gentleman said it was going to be. If I did not call back then I would have been paying for what I didn't want.
I'm a customer with AT&T for 15 plus years. I called customer service on January 16 to talk about charges on my wireless bill. I was charged data for roaming in Aruba. I did not use my cell phone, could not connect, was still charged for it. I paid over $ 400.00. Next month i was charged for calls received but not answered by me, after my billing cycle. I have a family plan with 4 cell phones on for many years and we should not be charged for phone calls not received and billed after the billing cycle. We are not happy because we are being charged foe a service we did not use. I'm traveling to Germany often and i add text messages to my bill. Text messages received are not being charged but phone calls received but not answered being charged? If AT&T does not credit me the $ 167 i have choice to switch my cell phone carrier. Thank you for your time and i hope we can solve this issue to my satisfaction. Sincerely Bedia Sears
In 1953 my wife and I became Ohio Bell customers. During 61+ years since then (until 12/26), we've had service from various Bell operating companies or ATT.
For 23 years in Austin TX we were SW Bell/ATT customers -- 2 land lines, TV, internet and 2 cell phones. Poor TV and internet quality compelled cancellation of those 2 services. But land line and cell service continued with ATT -- despite the annoyance of static on both land lines following virtually every heavy or even moderate rainfall.
Last month we moved to a new house, less than 10 minutes from the previous house and in the same zip code. Transfer of the same numbers to the new house was promised. More than 2 weeks after requesting transfer of the 2 lines, a service rep appeared on Christmas eve (only one day later than promised). He couldn't do the switch because the next door lawn (where some ATT equipment is located was locked and the owners were out of town.
So I scheduled phone service from Time Warner on 12/26. That very day ATT cancelled service to the old house, without notifying me.
Throughout this through-the-looking-glass- exercise in absurdity I made many calls to ATT, always with stupendous wait times. The record wait time, I'm ashamed to confess, went on for 1 hour, 36 minutes.
The final call (I deluded myself to believe it would be the last) was in early January. A live female ATT rep in Wichita assured me that all our remaining ATT accounts would be closed. After 61+ years. Time of that call to Wichita? A mere 46 minutes.
Yesterday an ATT booklet arrived by mail, welcoming us to the ATT family, and revealing that for a mere $96.51 a month we get 2 land lines in Austin; numbers 512-453-2799 and 512-453-5530. The same numbers cancelled by ATT less than a month ago.
None of this is or could be made up. It happened, exactly as described. Kafkaesque, you think?
I called AT&T because I had a problem with the cable box and the TV not connecting. When I called AT&T I got a representative, who told me what to do here at home. This lasted around 45 minutes, the problem still wasn't solve it got worse. The TV screen stays black nothing come on. I was getting upset so I told the rep. to send out a technician to come to the house, to replace the cable box with a new one. Why should I be doing this when I pay to have someone fix the problem. He said if AT&T send someone to the home, I might have to pay the around $99.00. I told him the problem was the cable box not the wiring. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he put on the phone a person name Joseph. I asked Joseph what was his full name he refused to tell me. He stated that supervisor were not suppose to give out their last name. I never heard of anything like this before. I would like for AT&T to send someone to my home and replace the cable box with a new one.
Not one representative a spoke with on yesterday, had no experience when I needed some billing information on a miscellaneous account(mailbox in the sky) I was on hold for an hour, I asked for names of supervisors, district managers, also operations managers. I was put on hold and my issue was never resolved. These employees need to be trained better to handle all calls. I retired form AT&T and there is no way I would ever suggest that any customer should call for assistance, because all they are going to get is a bunch of round arounds. Irate as HELL
It has been 4 weeks since AT&T dug up a portion of my front yard and left a big mess upon leaving and never have returned to clean up the mess…one of the workers said would return soon to finish the job of restoring my yard to prior condition…no one has has returned….who at ATT do I contact for resolution?
February 22, 2014 we went on a cruise, right before we left I contacted AT&T about going out of the country and our data usage we just purchased an iPad Air. The person I talked to changed our plan to save us some money and told us we would be put on international rate while we were out of the county. When we left port in Galveston TX and were out to sea we tried to use our phones and we had not service for calls, texting or the iPad. We put them away until we got back in port at Galveston TX on Sunday March 1st. The person I talked to told us our normal monthly bill from now on should be $171.80 until the iPad was paid off. Today I checked our statement on line and it shows we owe $288.65. I called support and asked why so high and was told we made some texts with video and were charged a roaming rate. I again told this person I was talking to our phones and the iPad did not work on the cruise and we put them away until we got back in port in Galveston TX to use. I asked how it could show we used them out of the country and he said that is what the system shows and that is what he has to go by.
We have been with AT&T for a long time, if this is the way you are going to treat us we will look at our options.
I have paid my monthly bill statement on the 19th of March by debit card via automated service. On the 25th of March my bank statement shows I was charged same amount via bank check. I was trying to get clarification and direction from a problem was redirected to a different none existing issue. I am frustrated and disappointed.
3 weeks ago I called and spoke with a customer service rep. that explain incorrectly how the international plan works. I explained in detail what services I was looking for and she assured me that ATT could provide that. Well that was incorrect. My son is in South Korea in the Army, we were with T-mobile which has an international plan with unlimited data and text and calling/ 10 cents a minute. The problem with them was we were getting a lot of drop calls so I called ATT to ask questions about international plans to call South Korea and for my son to call us from South Korea. The lady stated that the international plan was $5.00 per line to add and that each call made would be 8 to 10 cents per minute. So we continue to talk about data and unlimited text and talk.
So I went through with joining att based on the answers I was given to all my questions, so 2 phones and a sim card was sent out to me. The phones were for me and my mother and the sim card was for my son whose in South Korea with an ATT phone. So once he got the sim card which took about 14 days to get there he was unable to get the phone to work. So I continue to call all through out the days to try to get things right. As I called and spoke with different people was being informed different things. 1st the plan we had didn’t support calling to and from south korea, then we were told on yesterday the phone still isn’t able to work do to some technical difficulties for not being able to reach south korea network.
Then I was told that he would have to purchase a calling card. and the story goes on and on and on …lies…So today I was told after they added the international plan that the phone would work. the only happen was a billed that generated for over 900.00 in less than 6 hours and my son still is unable to call or text…so now I want to go back to T-Mobile where we atleast were able to communicate with unlimited data , text and calls. I was lied too in order to switch. Very disappointed when my son is serving his country and can’t communicate with his family just for a company to gain money for a service they couldn’t supply. I would like a phone call, and to terminate this 2 year contract for being told a straight out lie!
I have tried to explain twice that I am not able to connect to the network (my iPhone) on my computer/IPad/or Laptop. They are not listening to what is actually happening and keep going down the path that I can’t get to the internet on my IPhone. I’ve never had any problems before. I now realize how lucky I’ve been. Support tells me the problems I’m seeing then hang up. Very disappointing.
I just realize that ATT added a dollar to my equipment rental. What is the reason for that when the equipment is in my home and has been accounted for. When I called and ask for a good reason for this, I was able to talk to Daneil and unceremoneously disconnected. How rude. They know my number and can call back. I can not find an email or something to air my grievance.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note which was an upgrade in September 2012. My phone would not charge. I tried multiple chargers and still would not charge. I ended up having to wrap the chord around the phone to put enough pressure on the insertion site for the phone to charge. The problem was the phone, not the charger. When I went to the AT&T store on Lankershim (in Los Angeles), I explained to the store clerk what was wrong with my phone. He laughed at me and proceeded to try multiple chargers in the store before telling me it was the phone. I informed him I had insurance on the phone and he told me he would not help me and i had to call AT&T myself, which I did in the store. While the gentleman on the phone was a little bit helpful, not by much, the store clerk stood in front of me rolling his eyes and laughing at me. The gentleman on the phone instructed me on how to resolve my problem in the store and he spoke to the clerk over the phone.
Once we concluded the phone call, I asked the clerk if we could fix the problem today. He stated he would not help me in the store and i had to call customer service and they could do fix my phone problem over the phone. Which was why i was on the phone to begin with. The guy on the phone told me the store would fix it and the store said no, they wouldn’t fix it. I asked for the manager. When he came over he stated no one in his store would help me with my phone issue. I told him i had been an AT&T customer for 19 years and had never been treated like this. I informed the manager and the clerk that i would be dropping them and they laughed while i was walking out the door.
Now, I must give a disclaimer up front that this story is rather involved and completely a “first world problem”, but it’s my problem so if you care to listen read on. My wife and I’s lease on our house we were renting was ending and sadly we had to move. I previously had service with Wow!, but they didn’t offer internet/cable at our new address so I was in search of a new company to go with. I spoke with many of my coworkers and they informed me that AT&T was the best company to go with.
A few days prior to moving, I went online and spoke with a representative and picked out an internet plan and they informed me that a tech would go by my house and they would send me the modem in the mail for me to set up. The day came where we started moving in and there was already something on the door indicating AT&T had been there and the modem had already arrived in the mail. I thought to myself, “Man, they are efficient”.
The day came (Tuesday) when our internet should be working so that evening I attempted to hook up my internet and low and behold nothing worked. I called their customer service number only to have the first person I talked to tell me he couldn’t find my account number or any record that I had service with them. Now, keep in mind, I had their modem, someone had been to my house and I had two papers with my name and a new account number with a phone number associated with my new AT&T internet. I was transferred to another guy who couldn’t find it and then conference called with a fourth person.
None of these people could find my account. I was then put on hold again for over 30 minutes where I gave up and simply hung up. The next day, after work, I was at home trying to get the internet to work again (which it didn’t) so I called again. The 5th person I spoke with told me he couldn’t find my account number, surprise surprise and he advised me to call the customer service number that I had called to reach him. So I hung up and called the 6th person who did offer me a slight glimmer of hope.
She had me try both phone jacks in my house and informed me she didn’t see any signal, but she could send someone out the next morning to fix the problem. I informed her that I wouldn’t be home, and neither would my wife do to our work schedules. She said that wouldn’t be a problem and that the technician could complete the service call without coming inside.
Well, she was wrong. My phone rang while at work on that Thursday with the technician informing me he was about 15 minutes from my house. I told him that was fine, but I wouldn’t be there because I was at work. He appeared flabbergasted and said, “Well you need to be there, I am going to have to put this appointment on hold until Saturday and I will come back by then”. I completed my work day and being that no one had done anything of value for me so far, I decided to call just to verify the appointment I supposedly had on Saturday. Well, wouldn’t you know it, no appointment existed. The customer service representative I spoke with, Caroline, (who may I remind you was the 8th person I had spoken with), was professional and seemed to have a good head on her shoulders.
She tried switching my appointment but informed me she was having trouble taking the hold off of it. She told me she would work on the matter and call me back. She did a few minutes later, but told me she was unable to do so and would call me back the next day. Long story short she was unable to move my appointment and I had someone else apparently make me an appointment on Saturday (which they didn’t) even though they gave me an appointment number to verify my imaginary appointment. I ended up mailing the modem back and canceling the internet service without every getting to see if it was any sort of a good product.
The main reason for this complaint is that AT&T stresses how much they care about their customers and in reality they do not. They simply tell you what you want to hear knowing you will probably never interact with that person again when they don’t do what they say. All I wanted was the internet. I wasn’t asking for anything out of the ordinary. AT&T’s company revolves around the transmission of information, whether it’s thru the internet, phone or television. But, everyone, other than Caroline, didn’t give me any worth while information. 80% of the people I spoke with couldn’t even find my account. And, even when having two people independently of one another, verify my Saturday appointment, in actuality I never even had one. So what’s the point of giving someone a reference number for their appointment if it doesn’t exist?!
Overall, this was the worst customer service I have experienced in my entire life in any sort of realm. Nothing positive was gained from it, only negative. I realize too that the sad thing is I don’t matter to AT&T at all. They are such a large company, someone will just fill my place.

My wife interacted with a person called Josh around about January 16, 2014; and she was not told that our phone service would have a limit of 200 minutes. Our bill this month included $86.00 worth of calls. We have always had unlimited minutes local and long distance. I spoke to Jamie at ATT who is supposed to set up our phone service the unlimited local and long distance service for $35.00 per month. However, there was no indication that ATT would lower our bill. This was a mistake made by their representative who did not inform us nor did he change our service to what we originally had which was $35.00 a month. This step was supposed to save us money instead our bill skyrocketed. As retirees we cannot afford these bills.
Every month my bill goes up. And I have had uverse service for 2 years and my bill has never been the amount I was told it would be. I love the service just want my bill to be correct. I am and have always been on a budget and told the agent that when I changed to uverse. Not happy with my billing.
We recently moved 15 miles away from our previous home. We had placed a work order for internet and landline in our new home to be installed the day we closed. That was on 30 Aug 2013. We have been delayed 5 times now with excuse after excuse. Today again we were supposed to finally have a technician to arrive between 2 and 4 p.m. Guess what another no show, and no phone call to explain why or when we would be rescheduled AGAIN. My husband is on the cell phone with someone in another country that just keeps reading a script and not helping. What in the world do you have to do to get service. My husband works from home a lot and needs access to the internet and a landline phone. This is causing a lot of problems and I just don’t get it. I wish we could use another service because we would have after the 2nd appointment was cancelled. But our little town only has AT&T. They have us by the u know what and nothing we can do. I hate this!!!!
Moved to mt. Nernon Ohio to help ailing parents. Upon arriving I find that I have no service from AT&T. After numerous cantacts with AT&T I still have no service and no recommendations. I even drove to AT&T stre an hour away to try to remedy the problem. Nothing happened and I continued getting bills. My contract was cancelled and I was still being billed plus other charges for service I never received. I have been with AT&T for 7 plus years. Never thought they would treat their customers this way . they are sending me to collections for problems they caused.
I am living in my rental while waiting on a home renovation. When my wife called ATT to return service to our renovated home she was not giving a timely frame for a tech to come to our renovated home (which is already set for ATT). Due to massive miscommunications problems between departments at ATT my wife called to confirm that both residences were receiving services until the move was complete and ATT confirmed it would not happen. She was on the phone for 3 hours verifying this because she was kept on hold or hung up on most of the afternoon.
The sales or customer service rep came back and said no services would be interrupted and a tech would be at our renovated home on the 2nd. On the 30th ATT (due to a note error on the part of the customer service rep) caused all service at our rental to be deactivated. My wife has spent the better part of two day and possibly up to 40 reps between tech support, sales and tier II agents trying to resolve the issue. Bottom line we lost our tech guy coming out today in order for her to restore service at the rental. My wife is a online student due to a disability getting her MSN in Nursing.
She failed two exams yesterday due to the interruption as well as a near fail on a huge final paper for graduation. Finally at 10:30 last night internet and phone were restored, however – the television will not come back on and we had to cancel our new service at our renovated house for restoration of service. I have U300 and now being told that we don’t? She has no television and is afraid to order new service due to the fact of disruptions of service. In two she spoke to clost to 50 reps between the different departments and no one can seem to fix anything or get it right.
She has been hung up on, treated rudely and this is all due to a customer service error. Now we have movers coming – no service at the other address. I’m very disheartened and frankly angry that my wife was treated this way by anyone. The ticket numbers and orders are confusing and the different departments have excessive miscommunication between them – as she was told 50 different stories before finally a man told her that her service had actually been disconnected at our rental and all he could do to restore anything was cancel the tech coming out to inspect the equipment and make sure the service was operating properly.
I hope in the future inter personal skills is a must for these positions, as you are one of the more expensive bundle carriers. You are about to lose me and everyone I’ve told about how great you were, and we are all going to go back to Buckeye Cable in Toledo, OH. I will laugh when ATT comes knocking on my door. As I was typing this – my wife was just disconnected again.
Shame on all the top leaders in AT&T company. One of the worst companies to handle your problem. They don’t understand their team is a reflection of them. I have 2 business lines and 3 personal lines. I have called for different reasons to speak to a supervisor and not even once the supervisor has been available. I called 11 days ago and left my information to an associat named Noriel ID#hd097q, he said a supervisor will call me and he is yet to call me back after 11 days. Then I called today and apoke to Craig Jones ID#cj405q
He told me someone will call me and hung up before giving me the supervisor’s name. I called back again today and spoke to Yolanda Gorde ID#YG463T. She was the most inconsiderate person that I have spoken to. She didn’t allow me to talk when I asked if there is any note from Craig about my call that was made earlier today, she responded no there was no notes. Then I asked how they are held accountable for making a note on my account. She said it doesn’t matter who cares why do you want to know about that. At this moment I was furious that not only she wasn’t apologizingm, she was telling me who cares about the customer I asked to speak to Bobby Jhonson the supervisoe, she refused to put me through. I told her that I wanted to disconnect my lines and she responded that she could do that in seconds and there is no need to involve a supervisor. She repeatedly told me there was no reason for me to talk to the supervisor despite my request and disconnected me. I will reach out on any social media to ensure everyone is aware of your service and why we can’t speak to a superviser after 12 days. Why are your supervisors so busy that they don’t care about an upset customer. I expect to hear from you ASAP and will reach out to channel 7 ( Help me howard ) to understand what your philosophy is. You can email me back and I will call you on a number that you provide me.. You should be ashamed of your mission and vision for your company. Without your customers you are nothing. One unsatisfied customer informs 10 other people. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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