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.
This morning at 0900 approx, an ATT Tech driving ATT Tech Van # OW498 almost caused the destruction of the Exit Gate to our neighborhood. I got a call from one of our residents that he had witnessed this Tech drive into our neighborhood through the exit gate while it was closing. Apparently he thought his time was more valuable than his customer’s expense of putting up a security gate.
He managed to squeak in by the thinnest of margins to the point that he got out of his van to check the rear bumper to see if any damage had been caused. Subsequently, after taking the residents call, I went up to check the video of the incident and confirmed the resident’s account of the matter. I then went in search of the driver and found him at one of the main connection nodules here on the Island. When I asked him how he thought his management would view his driving behavior he got belligerent.
When I asked him his name he told me it was OW498……the number on his service van. It was only after I told him that we had just put that gate back into operation the day before after an extended period of being out of service due to a previous accident, that he then took a civil apologetic tone with me without apologizing for the near-miss.
Mr. Stephenson, as stated above, we had just put the gate back into service on Tuesday April 23rd after a $10,000 accident took the gate out of service for nearly 4 months. Understandably, I am very upset with your Tech’s attitude and driving behavior. We have numerous ways to contact residents here on the island. Your tech(s) typically, do not want to take the time to use the Neighborhood Directory keypad to call the residents they come out to service. I once was a customer of ATT.
But after a surly customer service incident last year, you lost a 30 years plus account. I will inform our HOA of the incident this morning. I will instruct them to ensure that they tell the Service Center that the Techs need to use the keypad directory to gain access. I have video of this incident. I expect that Mr. OW498 be disciplined for his irresponsible driving behavior. His loss of employment would certainly provide a lesson but I’m sure your union rules will not allow that.
I expect that he receive a refresher in Customer Relations when confronted with a justifiably angry customer AND that each and every ATT account on Eagle Bend Island receive an apology from ATT (preferably the driver) for the irresponsible behavior of this tech that almost cost them (the residents) another extended period of time without key HOA security infrastructure.
I went from another company to AT&T ..Direct T.V for tv service they did everything they said… Direct tv sent me to AT&T for internet and phone.. I was expecting a bill of about 40.00 when my bill came it was over $200.00. No i would not at this point recommend AT&T.. The money is what i am most upset with.They also drilled hoes and attached stuff to the out side of the house on my siding. I wish they had ask permission first.
I am completely unsatisfied with my services with AT&T. I have only had DSL and home phone for roughly less then 24 hours and i have had nothing but issues with AT&T since i have attempted to get service. When i first ordered my services there were so many things that I didnt know (hidden fees) that i almost cancelled right away. For instance, needing a new modem, install fees, i needed a new phone jack placed in the wall, these are all things i didnt know about. Then on the day my services were supposed to be installed (4-08-2013) the technician dispatched to my home was given my new AT&T home phone number (that has yet to be installed) as my contact number so when he showed up to my house he called it (obviously with no answer) and left because i didnt come to my door. They were supposed to come back that evening, no show, they were supposed to come out on 4-9-2013, no show, then they finally showed on 4-10-2013 and installed the line. The technician was very good. He came back out on 4-11-2013 and finished the job. So i started to set up my internet and then it wouldnt work with my router so i had to spend the next 5 hours calling AT&T to try and figure out why the DSL modem wouldnt connect. Finally after dealing with the setup i finally got my internet to connect and work. Later that night my download speeds dropped to 5kbps when i assured to have 6mbps download speed. Now on 4-12-2013 (within 18 hours of having service) my DSL and home phone do not work. My phones lines are static and my DSL resets every minute. So now i have no home phone, no internet, no on demand feature with direct tv and no home security system all due to AT&T’s wonderful services. When i call to get it fixed they dont want to send a technician out until 4-15-2013. So now all these services that I am paying for I cant use. I am absolutely disgusted with AT&T.
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 .
Had to purchase a new phone.Went with the cheapy.You used to give this to me for free when I signed a new deal.When I got it home I could barely hear it more than a few feet away.(And no don’t dare ask me about the volume control)When I researched in the phone I discovered I only have a single ringtone! When I went to the app center I found I would have to pay 2.50 per month for a ringtone!
Let’s see now,you sold me a phone you knew was piss poor and that I would have to pay extra just to make it acceptable to me.
The reward here is for me to take my business elsewhere.The idea of rewarding someone who’s policies are an intentionally designed screwing is not acceptable to me.
So,screw you cocksuckers
Hi we have been loyal AT&T customers for a few years now. All way fine until we moved we currently have no signal anywhere especially in our house we have to go outside to place phone calls. This is wry unpractical as I have two young daughters. In fact when I went into labour with my second I could not contact my husband cause guess what no signal either at my house or where my husband works. We have complained several times to at&t however switching towers and booster thing does not work. We asked to cancel lines and switch provider as feel it’s unfair to pay for service that we are not reciving and it’s dangerous for me not to be able to contact anyone whilst at home with two little ones. However AT&T will not let us with out a 140 doller fee despite the fact we only have a few months left.
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.
I am customer with ATT from the last 20 years,ever since i moved to my present home in 2009,i have very poor ,week wireless signals most of the time the calls are dropping and dont have a single signal bar,i called millions time ATT and have been admitting they are planing to fix or install new tower in my area,and have many other complains as well,but at the same time,on the upper lever they wont do any thing,instead ignored.
i called again on april 1st,2013 ,i was on phone 2 hrs,after all that time,the tech dept,Amy tech support,completely ignored and lied to me that there is no problem in my area and refuses to fix and was very rude…… ATT is completely out of control and sucking our hard money and not sincere with customer ,its shame for that big company to ignore and ripp off customer with poor service
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’ billing/customer service. I signed up with your wireless service, I am customer for over 5 years and every month I have to spend 1-2 hours dealing with your customer service/ billing. You have fraudulently, charged me for a service/subscription that I never ordered or applied. I am not sure how many previous bills have I been charged. Your billing is so complicated that without an accountant, it will be very hard to understand all the charges and prorated amounts.
I can’t spend 1-2 hours every month to fix your billing system issues and track all the credits and changes month by month. I am still working with your customer service. They told me I will get credit next month. This month they told me next month. Plan Changes: Data Plan automatically changed. New data plan added and then different charges prorated amounts with many dates made it so confusing that I can’t understand it. Customer service told me they can’t do anything because those are legal but can explain it to me how 2 months data plan be charged in one. They told me this is how prorated works. Well, I don’t understand.
DataPro 3GB for iPhone on 4G LTE with VVM 29.00CR. This plan is $30.00 per month. You removed this plan on 02/26. You received a credit for the days you did not use this plan 02/26 – 03/24. DataPlus 300MB for iPhone on 4G LTE with VVM 19.33. This plan is $20.00 per month. You added this plan on 02/26. You are charged at the new plan rate from 02/26 – 03/24. DataPro 3GB for iPhone on 4G LTE with VVM 29.00. This plan is $30.00 per month. You added this plan on 02/26. You are charged at the new plan rate from 02/26 – 03/24.
The problem is I have NEVER-EVER 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 Mon-Friday regular business hours, I have to use my 60 minute-2 hours 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. 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 any unnecessary service.
My bottom line is that I don’t care who has to take care of my issues, but somebody has to do something; 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 you to do an audit of all my bills since I am customer and send me a confirmation about any/all fraudulent charges for subscriptions you added to my account without my permission. I am so frustrated that I told them to cancel all my phone lines and they did it in a heartbeat.
I want the service I was offered, a simple bill that I can understand, and/ or the opportunity to cancel my contract without any penalties or fees.
ATT uverse is a rip off, I want to warn every last one of YOU not to sign up for their service. When I moved into my apartment several months ago I had no choice but to sign up for their bundled package including phone, internet, and a television services. I have to say that the first month was cheap as expected, then the horror started.
Each month my uverse bill went up, and each month ATT was harder and harder to call on the phone. I was tired of being put on hold, only to have to threaten to cancel just to get part of my money back. It’s funny how the words “terminate” can make you money with their outsourced customer service reps. Just threaten to cancel and they give you all kinds of discounts.
Why don’t big companies like ATT care about the customer anymore!?
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.
On January 22nd at approximately 4:45 pm, I attempted to use my phone and there was no dial tone! Nothing! I went to my door and noticed an A T & T U Verse van across the street. I yelled to the driver who was busy packing to end his day, and asked if he had messed with my telephone line. His reply, in essence, was “No. Not yours. But I did notice your line on the pole seemed to have some activity possibly made by squirrels or chipmunks. You should call and inform them.” Being of unsound mind, I returned to my phone site but of course had no signal so how could I call them. Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated.
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 purchased an I phone 4 plus case and car charger from the AT&T store in Gulfport, Ms. The salesman picked out the car charger and put in my bag. They were out of phones so it was shipped to me. When I received the phone and tried the car charger it did not fit. He had picked out and sold me one for the I phone 5.
So I went to the store in D’Iberville,Ms, the Manager Jason Holder was very RUDE and would not exchange the charger. I understand if he could not exchange the charger, but he did not have to be rude and abrupt. But I should have known, we have never had any good experiences at the AT&T stores. We are only with your service becauce my husband was with AT&T thru Northrop Grumman and the nice folks at Sams Club.
Based on my expereinces You would be better off closing the AT&T stores. While looking for your complaint email I found many other folks have had problems at the stores. I must say I have had good service on the phone, but the stores are your reputation. Please call me for a follow up. My husband does not appreciate someone being unnecessariarly rude to me.
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.
I purchased an iphone5 and a contract (2 yr) on my husbands discount site for AT & T. Well they sent me an email for confirmation and when I got the first bill and all subsequent bills the discounts were not as stated on the confirmation email. I contacted you and was told that the discounts can’t be give on the phone charge even though the confirmation email shows it.
I want to know why your company is allowed to get away with disceptive (fraudelant) contracting. Because I am now committed to a 2 yr contract that is not what was originally agreed to.
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 called customer service tonight and spoke to a cancellation dept. associate as well as her manager. I believe her name was Sara. My husband recently passed away on 9/1/12 and he had a wireless contract that expires this June. I have been cutting my expenses and have cancelled my landline so I’ve been using the cell number and paying my bills on time every month.
My daughter has offered to pay for a cell phone for me with her current provider to help save me money, therefore me calling AT&T to ask how to cancel my late husband’s contract and waive the termination fee. I was told by both people I spoke to that they cannot do that because I have used the phone for my own purposes.
I was trying to do the right thing and let them know why I wanted to cancel and they said that I would be responsible for the fee because he was my husband. I did not sign any contract and in fact it took my husband to call AT&T to even discuss any issues over the phone with me before anyone would even talk to me.
So why is that different that he was the primary provider and unless he gave permission for anyone to speak to me he had to give his consent. I thought that AT&T would have been more sympathetic to my circumstances but apparently not.
I work in a customer service field and I would hate to think that the company I work for would treat someone this way. I will continue paying the $75 a month, even though it will be a hardship for me, and believe me I will cancel the day the contract is up and tell everyone I know about the service you get from AT&T.
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
On December 27,2012 around 12:10 p.m. about my service been cut off , and a representative came to the phone and stated it was because the payment arrangments had been broken. I was shock because my payment wasn’t due until the at Friday but she stated it was due on he Dec. 24,2012 and I told her know way because I didn’t get paid until that Friday. She stated know when your phone is turned off you need th full past due payment or you need to speak to a Supervisor and I said OK. I waited about five minutes for a rude SUPERVISOR Mrs. Jennifer Banks ID-JB330 and I explainted to hear the reason for wanting to speak with her and she didn’t hear my story it was basic pay the past due or that is it, but I would like for someone to pull the phone call because it was just too much to talk about. Found out on my bill they had been charging me for a phone I never had was explaining her the situation and she stated you should have been looking at your bill and you will have seen the charges. She had me on hold for twenty minutes reviewing my acct. and told her I was at work thinking she would have said let me call you back when i complete my investation but no she made me wait. I think the part that really took the cake was I was so mad was crying and she didn’t even care she stated everytime you call seem to never understand but I told no one person understand on the same level and you can hear everything in the tape. Also stated you want to cancel your service right know instead of trying to work with me and I’ve been with the company two years and my contract will be on Dec.31,2012 and I will not renew my service. If she is talking to her valuable customer how in the world is she treating her employees if you continue to have on your staff look for decrease in sales, and serious customer complaints. Please I strongly urge to listen to the tape so you can understand my sorrow having to leave ATT because of a rude,rude, supervisor. Just think how many times this could of happen and know wanted to get involved with the complaint but it doesn’t hear will e-mail the CEO of the company if this what it will take for someone to remove her from the Supervisor position.
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
AT&T hijacked my yahoo e mail and replaced it with their own, added several addresses to my contact list and will not accept them as legal addresses, i want my yahoo e mail page back and i want AT&T the hell off my computer and out of my life, they are as bad as the U>S> government about being obnoxious, arrogant and great rip off artist. you also have a stupid way of making this site hard to use.
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!
It seems absolutely absurd that in order to speak to someone about telephone problems, you have to wait ten minutes (at least) in order to speak to anayone, and then sometimes, you are cut off, or you deal with someone who is clueless as to what the problem may be.
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.
TI am writing this letter regards to AT&T monthly service hidden charges. I been with AT&T U-verse Internet Service for many years. However recently I realized they are applying hidden charges to take full advantage of there customers. Month of April 2012 I was behind on my monthly payment for few hours and as I realized disconnected internet service; with in second I paid $29.99 service charges. However, I was reviewing my monthly bill online and realized AT&T charging $30 restoring fee, $5 late fee and $5 convenient fee.
Added all up to $40 extra fee charges that is more than 130% late fees charges top of monthly bill. So I called AT&T customer service and spoke with Katrina id# MJ6810; First she refused to understand my question and than she applied by saying these are AT&T terms and conditions. So I asked to speak with manager to understand why AT&T charging more than 130% late fees charges top of monthly bill of $29.99; total = $69.99. Manager Name:
Sandy id# SS11E, spoke with me for more than 30th minutes however same respond. (“130% fees charges is AT&T term and condition and we are following the company policy.”). I asked please explain what and how AT&T asking 130% late fee charges and what work AT&T did in few hours that costing me 130% late fees charges. In return no clear respond; so I asked to speak with her manager. Sandy asked me to wait for 24 hours for her manager to call me back. I am very surprised and disappointed with AT&T customer service. AT&T is taking full advantage of there customer and if you ask a explanation, AT&T respond to wait for a phone call.
Please AT&T I am requesting further more information regards to this issue. Also during 2011 I had many times disconnected internet service which I had called several times. I need copies of all the work orders and complaints I made during 2011.
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.
The reason not listing name is no one returns AT&T compliants in past. Many citizens here in town have continually complained about the service at the store at IH45 and SH 30.I have been a customer a long time both landline, mobile, and work mobile. I filed a previous compliant on same store two years ago trying to get my work phone fixed cause of problems. They did nothing for me. I even purchased my phone from that AT&T store.
I had to go to Bryan and get it fixed and they were friendly. Had problems a few months later and went back to the Huntsville store to no avail. I went to Bryan and made it work. Was told it would probably have problems down the road. The Bryan AT&T store worked with me and I upgraded and got an iphone. No thanks to the store in Huntsville where I lived that did not care about my business.
Seems all they ever want is sell sell. One of my sons needed a phone. Could not work with the local store, just guess where we had to go. I then took my second son to the store in The Woodlands because local $300 or so dollars because it was not covered under AT&T insurance. I asked is that all they had and told yes. I asked about rebuilt phones and she then said store had rebuilt (cheaper phones) in one section on wall. OK we going to buy him one. She asked for the phone number and gave her number.
She asked name and told her under wife’s name cause under family plan. She said that she had to call her to get vertified, I told her not necessary because the other locations when purchased phones never asked it, all AT&T and better service. If it was not an emergenccy cause he needed the phone when going to work early in morning, I would not have purchased from the Huntsville store because of their rotten service. I called my wife on my cell phone and handed it to the girl to get whatever she wanted.
Big Mistake–Why–Read this and if it does not upset you then I know you will not take any action against this store here. I get my phone back from her, did not listen to their conversation. She ask for the money and I pay her. I then get a phone call from my other son who asked what has happened to my son. He tells me this woman from AT&T cause about needing info and phone broken. Whatever was said, my wife thought something serious happened.
I was speaking with another customer that knew me inside the AT&T store when this happened and waiting to get the phone set up. I tell my son on the phone what happended because my wife was out of town at his town. He tells me the call upset her and she got worried. I get home and talk to the manager named Andrew and tell him how upset I am. He said he can relate, but it is FFC rules that all this had to be answered, this is bull.
I told him this because I have been in the store before seeing other AT&T customers getting stuff update when husband not with wife and no calls required. I have only experienced two people in the Huntsville store since they opened that have good servie and none of them management.Your current manager is not customer friendly at all. He would argue over the phone. Now do you see what kind of problem you have here, many people would like the store to be more customer friendly.
It will be a long while before I step back in this store because I do not wish to support it because of its bad personel. I will continue to use Bryan and the Woodlands like so many here because of the friendlier staffs.
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.
(1) I signed up for the $14.95 a month internet access plan. I was told that I would have to pay more at the start but then I would receive credits for the over payments in a few months. DID NOT HAPPEN! (2) I was told that I had to pay $100.00 for their modumn, even though I had several of my own already, but that I would receive a $100.00 rebate check in a few months. DID NOT HAPPEN!
(3) Several months later my mother died unexpectedly. Then after 8 months I had to move in with my father, who is going blind, to take care of him. When I called to cancel my service I was told that because of the circomstances I would not be charge the early disconect fee of $75.00. Since I had a credit I was told that it would take a few months to get the check sent to me. DID NOT HAPPEN!
(4) My November 2011 bill showed a $160.00 CREDIT! I heard nothing during December 2011. I had the service cut off and moved out midway through December. I received a LAST BILL in January stating a $55.00 CREDIT. (5) I went by the AT&T store outside the Beavercreek Mall, Beavercreek, Ohio). The person there called and talked to someone else and I was told that the statement was correct and that nothing more could be done for me since my account has been zeroed out.
(6) How can my bill go down $105.00 for only 2 – 3 weeks of internet usage, in December, that was suppose to be only $14.95 per month? Also, what good is a $55.00 credit or any credit when I no longer have AT&T? I was warned by many people no to go with AT&T but the sales lady was very nice and convenceing. I have sure learned a lesson!
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.
To whom it may concern, My 83 year-old mother, who lives in Jacksonville, FL, is having a very bad experience with her AT&T service. Because of some health concerns, we recently moved her from a house she’s lived in since 1953, to a retirement facility. I will tell you up front, that she doesn’t like change, and doesn’t do well with change. She has had the same phone # since 1953, and we were hoping she could keep this #, for sentimental reasons, and to have one less stress during this difficult time.
I went down to FL, to help her move, after Christmas, and on December 28th, 2011, I called AT&T, to transfer phone service. The representative told me, that to keep her old phone #, she would have to switch to U-verse. So I agreed. She proceeded to tell me that my mother wouldn’t have service until January 20th 2012. My mother moved on December 29, 2011, and had only her cell phone, which doesn’t work well in her new apartment. Then, on January 20th, she received a huge box of equipment that she was supposed to hook up to get her service. She said the box was so big, that she couldn’t lift it, and had to get help to get it in her apartment.
She didn’t know what to do with it, and really didn’t want it, because it took up too much toom in her tiny apartment. My mother has a computer, but doesn’t use it, and doesn’t want to use it. She only wants phone service. On January January 23rd, I called AT&T, and literally spent all day on the phone, between getting put on hold, or getting disconnected, and talking to about six different people. I was very frustrated, and my mom was so stressed out and depressed, I was very worried about her. I told AT&T that didn’t want U-verse or the equipment, and to switch her back to traditional AT&T service.
They told me that they could do that, and she could keep her old phone #, and she would have service, as soon as she called a phone # and activated her phone. Well she couldn’t get a dial tone to do that. Finally, a new friend of her, an 89 year-old man, who is retired from AT&T, spent hours on the phone, and found out that to switch back to AT&T, she can’t keep her old phone #. She is supposed to get service on Febuary 3rd.
I hope that my mother will not be charged for service, for the last month, since she hasn’t had any service. I also hope that someone from AT&T can come and take away the U-verse equipment for her, at no charge. I am in Fort Mill, SC, a six-hour drive away, and am not able to do this for her. Your assistance in this unfortunate matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recently, I requested a MAC order to disconnect my existing DSL service and have new DSL service installed on my home phone line. The customer service representative was very happy to assist me in this request and told me the new DSL service would be up and running by Wednesday, November 2, 2011. It was. On November 10th I talked to Shawna from AT&T and had them disconnect my original DSL line, explaining to her I now had DSL service on my home phone line. She told me that would take a couple of days to take effect but they would pro-rate the disconnect to November 7th since I was already using the new service since November 2nd.
On Saturday, November 12th I lost both DSL services. When I called the tech services department on Monday, Ken told me he would find out what happened and call me back. I waited for his call and when he never returned the call I tried to call back. Unfortunately, not only was my DSL disconnected but now my home phone service was also disconnected. A tech came to my house on Tuesday to see why I was having DSL problems and told me there was nothing he could do without phone service. I finally got a hold of Jeremy at 10:45 for a reconnection.
He told me both lines were disconnected because I was deceased. I assured him I was not deceased and requested that the phone be reconnected. He did this and I was up and running within 30 minutes. Unfortunately, now my DSL was not. Jeremy didn’t know why this did not come back also and sent me to Sara who in turn sent me to Brad in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Brad could not figure out why the DSL was not working either and sent me to Jason in Texas. Jason worked on the problem for a while, could not get an answer and sent me to Martin in San Francisco. Mind you, it is now 12:07 PM. I have been talking on my cellular phone all the while and using up my minutes (by the way it is NOT an AT&T plan). Martin finally explained to me that when they reconnected my phone service even though I have the same phone number, I now have a new account number, which in turn needs a new DSL order to be completed. In light of this, he, being tech support, cannot complete that request and sent me back to Carla in Chicago.
Carla, I may add, should NOT be in customer service. She was the rudest person during this whole ordeal. As I told her my story and requested to have new DSL service on my new reconnected, old phone number, new account telephone line, she informed me that DSL was no longer available in my area. It was strange to me that I had just had DSL service two days prior to this. As I informed her of this she continued to talk, very loudly, over me and said I could not have my DSL back. I explained all my neighbors had DSL, how could this be? She said I would now have to get U Verse.
When I explained to her I didn’t want U Verse, I wanted DSL she told me I could not have it. After asking to speak to a supervisor and waiting another 20 minutes, she told me that one was not available to speak with and she would “see what she could do”. She came back on the line and informed me she would put in a request for the DSL to be enabled again in my home but would not have an answer for me until late Thursday, November 17, or Friday, November 18, morning. Mind you this is Tuesday, November 15.
I have been a satisfied AT&T customer up until now. I work from my home so not only am I unable to work, I could not receive any phone calls on Monday or Tuesday until around noon, and I have used my cellular phone minutes on basically one telephone call to AT&T that lasted 2 hours. I would hope you would reconfigure your customer service to have it done locally again. In fact, Steve, another AT&T rep called from the Philippines on Wednesday night trying to get me some answers! Unfortunately, he couldn’t either.
Jeff, the local tech who did come to my house was the most helpful representative in this scenario; one man out of six representatives in five states and over seas who was able to explain and help me.
Of course Friday came and left. I finally called Internet Services on Friday, November 18, at 6:00 p.m. Veronica, in the Chicago office, was more than happy to set up new DSL service for me. Unfortunately, she was unable to have it “installed” until Monday, November 28th at 8:00 p.m.
Not only did Carla, who told me I could not have DSL because it was no longer available in my area, did not return my call as she said she would, she also gave me false information that I could not longer have DSL and I now have to wait another week before it is installed. I feel if I would have placed the order on Tuesday when this all happened, I could have been up and running the week of November 21st instead of waiting another week.
After going to my local library to check my email, since I had no internet service, I found that AT&T had sent me a customer satisfaction survey. Only after filling it out with all dissatisfied responses did Nick, a representative call me on November 21st to see why I was dissatisfied. I told him my whole story but of course he could offer me nothing except sorry for my inconvenience.
Well, Monday, November 28th comes, still no new modem/router sent by AT&T. Finally at 4:00 UPS delivers the modem while a tech is here. He connects it and everything seems to be working fine. Tuesday and Wednesday everything is working fine. I am able to connect to work from my home. Thursday comes. I am able to work until 8:30 PM when the modem shuts down and gives me an error page saying something is in the DSL line/filter. I call tech support. 45 minutes later the tech, Don, ticket #G02398027, is able to reset the modem remotely. At 11:00 PM it happens again. I call tech support again, ticket #G02410072, but this time the technician tells me its outside my house on the DSL line after he had already “pinged” the modem. How can he ping the modem if there is a problem at the box outside the house? So, needless to say, I lost an hour of work time due to this outage.
I decided to trouble shoot myself. I unplugged the modem, waited the standard 15-20 seconds, and restarted my computer and it worked fine. Friday evening I decided to use my laptop to go online. Again, the modem would not recognize my wireless laptop. I had to restart the modem to reconfigure it. That worked. I feel the problem is in this modem not in my DSL line/filter. I had this line and filter since the end of October without a line problem. I have researched online thinking maybe I needed a firmware update or software update but couldn’t find any. Most of the forums I was able to read on say this is a bad modem with nothing but problems. Personally, I think it is much slower than my original DSL service.
On Sunday, December 4th I received my AT&T U verse statement. It has charges of $183.30 for service dates of 11/28 to 11/30/2011. On November 18th at 6:00 PM when I spoke with Veronica from the Chicago office to set up my service, she told me the charges would be $19.95 a month for 12 months and that AT&T would waive the modem fee of $100 because I told her I had a modem and didn’t need a new one. I was also charged a $36.00 activation fee, which if AT&T hadn’t disconnected me because I was deceased, I would never have lost my original DSL service to start with!!
I spoke with Donna Dunigan on Monday, December 5th, from Chicago. Explained my billing concerns and she referred this issue to her supervisor, Mrs. Cox, who is to return my call within 24 hours. She did explain to me that the service was at $19.95 a month ($43.00 fee plus $23.05 bill credit). Although I was charged $4.30 for November 28-30. $19.95 a month divided by 30 days is only $2.01 NOT $4.30.
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.
I called Att for computer service only and ended up with bundle. I received the bill and found out it was two times the amount promised. I lost some services I already had. the tv, and computer freeze and have to be boosted or restarted with start up repair. The telephone has about a 12 sec. pause after the number is dialed. The entire service shut down All the boxes blank and cause all the lights in the house to blank and the telephone shuts off and flashes. The telepnone voice flash the number on tv is the only thing work cannot check numbers or any thing. The tv keep recording one program cannot stop can only erase. Have not received any rewards for the entire bundle as promised.
The tech service is a joke they were out 3 times and wanted to be payed when they needed to come out again to fix what they messed up when the were out.
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#
To the AT&T Company,I cannot understand how you stay in business. Bravo for fooling the Apple people into letting you handle the iPhone. The iPhone is a wonderful thing. But your customer service is horrible. Actually, I think it should be called something else, because you’re certainly not serving the customer.I am appalled. My daughter’s phone that we’ve had since march broke. I pay for the insurance each month. Her phone just quit working. So, after getting the run around from several people, because apparently no one at your company has any records of a customer’s calls or issues, I went to my AT&T store. That’s right, 2 people in customer service said that since it was less than a year old, I didn’t even need the insurance, just go to the store and they’ll replace it.
Well, when I went to the store, waiting a half hour and told them this, they laughed at me. I believe the quote was “who told you that?”. So then the guy at the AT&T store placed the order online for me for the replacement phone. I told him that my daughter is going to New York City and she HAD to have the phone by today, (Tuesday, October 25), so he asked if I was willing to pay $12 extra shipping to guarantee that. I said yes. I was told it would come in the mail by today.When I went to check on the order (they told me I could track it), my order said they were sending me a “headset”.
I was concerned this was the case, so I called AT&T Customer Service (ha, ha), I talked to Stephen who said on his screen it said they were sending me a phone, not a headset. I have the screen shot of what mine said. He guaranteed everything would be fine. Said it would be here Monday, Tuesday at the latest.Well, surprise, my mail came today and it’s not here.
I am just sick to my stomach. So I called AT&T (customer service ha, ha, that’s so funny), and I talked to Cynthia. She then, I guess, transferred me because after reiterating the entire story, I was suddenly back at the main menu (“if you are calling about a problem with a different phone, dial that number now…”). I really think it is polite to tell someone if you were going to transfer them.
Next I talked to Ciera. Poor Ciera, I was pretty much a crying mess when I talked to her. I had promised my daughter her phone would be here by today. She is leaving tomorrow for New York City. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack, I am so upset. At least Ciera called the “shipping company” for me, she said they said it may be here tomorrow or Thursday. Well, that does me no good whatsoever.
But, I’m pretty sure AT&T hasn’t done much good for anyone. Ciera did tell me I could take my new iPhone 4S back to the store and return it and only pay the $35 restocking fee. We’ll be seeing if that’s true because I plan on taking it back as soon as I leave work. And I’ll probably get AT&T’s signature line..” Who told you THAT?” Seems to be a way they can get out of actually helping anyone.I hear Verizon carries the iPhone now, I may check it out. Can’t decide. I so love the iPhone. But I will NEVER, EVER, EVER buy another thing from AT&T, and I encourage everyone on the planet to stay away from them. They are horrible.
Their customer service is not even a joke. When we had US Cellular, they were at least very helpful. I wish they carried the iPhone. With Verizon getting in on the iPhone, I can’t imagine too many people with stay with AT&T. Truth is, people are going to need help with things and if your customer service and your website are so horrible, eventually people will go somewhere else. I know that’s what my family is going to do.Sincerely,Rita Krause
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.
The new AT&T U-Verse they advertising for $14.95 per month the real cost per month is $48.95 but they have a program that they do not tell you that they give you a $23.00 per month credit back to you account for the 11 month up to a year. Equipment cost is $90.00 but they give to you for $75.00 but you have to hunt for a reward of $15.00, there router can’t be buy in the store so if go broken after 90 day you will be spending another $90.00. Installation $36.00 that is not really installation you have to do yourself because if you want the technician to go to your home and do the job is another $95.00 for installation.
The first bill will be at your home is $174.95 for the first month and they sent you a welcome letter that you have to hunt for the reward bundle or credit back to you or you will be paying $48.95 per month and all the hitting fee, if you don’t get this offers they hitting in the complicate web site, you will be stock with a big bill that other carrier can offer you for $39.99 without any hitting fees.
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.
In 2006 i put a no long distance account on my phone but apparently AT&T caught hold of my account and changed it so that it shows that i do have long distance which is not true. Because of AT&t’s foolish mistake, it now shows that i owe $388.00. im asking you to take this fee off of my account because i was unaware of such actions taken place. it should be no hassle for you to discreetly remove these unnecessary fees from my account because i did in fact follow the neccesary procedures to remove the long distance from my phone account.
i am writing this complaint to inform you that i do not have long distance and shouldnt be charged such fees for a factor i did not use and for a factor i attempted to get rid of. please, correct my account so it will show that i indeed have no long distance and remove the fees that i have been billed for. please be aware that i have also contacted the federal trade commision, i am waiting to recieve a reply. there have been several people calling and hanging up on my phone also and many have been long distance, although i have not recieved the calls, it still shows that i have and i am very perplexed, please correct these problems and thank you for your cooperation
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!!!
My name is Greg Stephens, I’ve been an AT&T DSL customer going on my 6th month. AT&T are ripping me off too! I’ve read hundreds of complaints from AT&T customers. I’m posting this message on every complaint site and to every dissatisfied customer. I’m sick and tired of taking it in the @$$. I want a class action lawsuit against AT&T. Get on your Face Book and tell your friends and have them tell their friends. If you’re interested my e mail is gregstephens1956@yahoo.com If we get enough people to stand up to AT&T then I’m sure we can find an attorney online. This has got to stop!
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.
So I just gave up after 3 1/2 hours trying to speak to someone at AT&T to set up a time to disconnect my home phone service. I tried to go about it online and found that I wasn’t allowed to disconnect online, though it was possible to sign up for the service online without ever speaking to anyone. For such a large company you would think that they would have someone sitting at a phone to do this kind of thing. I am tempted to just stop my payments and be done with them. There is no excuse to leave someone on a phone for that amount of time. I feel sorry for whomever I speak to if I decide to call them another day.
Have feedback for AT&T?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
