AT&T
Reviews and Complaints

The damaged pole is in the median as shown on the attached map. I reported it to FPL and they said it was an AT&T pole. They said the made a report #NS106492. I am following up on it. If there is a strong wind, as we are in the hurricane season, the pole will fall and can cause serious damage to anyone driving next to it.

Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and send me a status report. [protected]@yahoo.com

I gotta say, I'm not too happy with AT&T. I've been seeing all these 5-star reviews, but my experience was far from perfect. My wife and I had to switch from Verizon after 20 years just to get coverage at our rural address. We went to the store and were helped by a nice young lady, but things quickly went downhill. We wanted to upgrade our phones and take advantage of the trade-in credits, but my phone didn't get keyed in correctly because it had to be preordered. Nobody working knew how to preorder on a trade-in credit, so we were told to come back the next day. When I returned, the manager said they couldn't fix the mistake, even though it was their fault. They told me to call corporate, but they couldn't fix it either. I was shocked to hear that nobody in the company had the power to override or fix the mistake. I mean, I've been a senior operations manager and director of business development for 26 years, and I know that there's always a way to correct a mistake. But apparently not with AT&T. They told me I had to pay $1799 for a new phone or wait 90 days to see if I could upgrade with credits. It's ridiculous that a simple keystroke error can't be corrected. I told them I would post a bad review and tell everyone I know not to use AT&T. They said they wouldn't help me, but that's okay. I'll make sure to cost them more than the $598 credit they can't give me. And to the young lady who helped me, I'm not mad at you. Keep up the good work and get that boy into college!

I went to the AT&T store near me last week because my phone was acting up. The person who helped me was pretty good. He told me about the 3g shutdown and how I would need a new phone. He explained their offer where I could trade in any old Samsung Galaxy S model phone and get the new S22 for "free". He explained that I'd need to go on a postpaid plan and that the cheapest one would be $65/mo reducing to $50/mo with autopay. My phone was a Galaxy A5 which did not qualify, so I paid to have my old Galaxy S3 shipped to me from Canada.

After receiving the S3 a few days later, I returned to the store. All staff members were busy, so I was placed first on the queue and was given an estimated wait time of 20 minutes. 50 minutes later, I was getting concerned that I wouldn't have time to resolve my issue, so I asked a staff member, "Hey, once someone starts helping me do you know how long it will take to process a trade-in for the S22?" She informed me that they did not have any S22s in stock, so I asked if I could order one. She told me to go home and call AT&T customer service where I could order over the phone, and she gave me a note with the phone number.

The next morning, I borrowed my roommate's phone and called the number on the note. The automated prompts were unhelpful to me, and I had a hell of a time trying to get through to a human being. After a couple of attempts, I hung up and called the store back to ask if they knew when they would have more S22s in stock. The man didn't know but told me that I could order one in, and I told him I wanted to do that. He told me I had to come into the store for that! I explained that I was just in the store yesterday and that when I asked to order an S22, I was sent home. He made it clear that it wasn't his problem, and before hanging up, I asked, "The number I'm supposed to call is (number on the note from the other employee), right?" He said no and gave me a completely different number.

I called the new number and, after some time struggling to speak with a human being, I eventually made it through to Niel. Niel was pleasant and made an effort to help me, but when I explained the trade-in deal for the S22, he told me that the offer had expired. I explained that I was just in the store yesterday where it was valid, and that I was looking at the offer on the AT&T website as we were speaking. Niel transferred me to sales because they would better understand the current promotions. After some time on hold, the line went dead.

I returned to the store. I explained that I would like to order an S22 using the trade-in deal. He started putting me through the process and asking about various options. As I answered and often looked for the cheapest options, he muttered, "You're killing me, man." Keep in mind I didn't even want a new phone, I needed a new phone because they shut down 3g. I let it slide and told him that I wanted the postpaid plan that the previous employee had told me about, which was $65/mo reducing to $50 with autopay. He told me that there was no such offer and the cheapest was $75 reducing to $65. I asked if he could check with the employee I first spoke with as I was certain what I was told. He didn't. At $25/mo more than my current plan, that "free" S22 would cost me $900 over the 3-year contract. In the end, I walked to Best Buy where they were infinitely more helpful, and I purchased a Galaxy A13.

Throughout this nightmare, I was riding the bus back and forth (with no phone to help facilitate the process), I spent all week without phone service, I paid to ship my old phone for no reason, and I lost multiple full days during the busiest time of my master's degree. Thanks, AT&T. It was a frustrating experience, and I wouldn't recommend AT&T to anyone.

I had a really tough time trying to get internet set up at my place with AT&T. It took me a whole week to get everything sorted out. First, I had trouble using my email as my account name because someone else had already used it as their user ID. I don't know who did this, but it was really frustrating. When I called customer support, they lied to me and told me that I had to have a temporary user ID in the form of an email. They set my temp user ID to my email with the email provider replaced with att.com. They assured me that there would be no issue with the scheduled setup and that they had to call the previous account holder, but it wouldn't be a problem.

They also told me that my request for my email to be removed from the other account's user ID would be escalated. They asked me what time I preferred to be called, and I told them 2 PM. However, I never received a call at 2 PM. Instead, I got called repeatedly at 8-9 PM on Sunday when I was asleep, and then again at 9:30 on Tuesday while I was on my way to work. On Sunday's call, they told me that there was actually an issue, and that the installation might be delayed. I was really upset because the first agent had guaranteed me that there would be no delay. I told them that if they couldn't promise me that there would be no delay, I would cancel and go with Comcast. They said they couldn't promise that, so I asked them to cancel the installation and delete my account. However, they only canceled the installation and didn't delete my account.

The Monday call was even more confusing because they told me that there was no way to get the other account to change their user ID. I was really frustrated because my account should have been deleted. I decided to try to sign up through the website, but it was a massive waste of time. My account was bugged, and any action I took caused the website to repeatedly redirect me through a bunch of pages that ended up depositing me back on my profile page. Additionally, it showed me as subscribed to a 2 gig plan that I never signed up for. I had initially signed up for gigabit, not 2 gig, and that was canceled on Sunday.

I spoke with support, but they ignored me when I told them I wanted to sign up on the website for multiple reasons. Eventually, they escalated me to their floor supervisor who literally misread me telling them I never signed up for this line as me wanting another line. I tried to call them, but I got similar treatment. Today, I received an email with a code for a $300 reward card, so I decided to give it one more shot. I tried to sign up, but I got the same redirect train, so I decided to give up and go with Comcast.

I attempted to delete my AT&T account, but it caused the same exact redirect train. I attempted to chat with chat, but they refused to help me and demanded that I call the phone number. In the transcript, the worst thing I said was, "I'm just trying to sign up for internet. Why does it have to be so difficult? It feels like this is completely pointless." I was not being rude or demeaning to any customer service agents.

I called the number and got put on a callback list. Eventually, someone called me back, and I told them what had been going on and that I just wanted to delete my account. They began working on it a bit, and I signed into the profile to get the account number. While on the phone, I noticed that they had finally canceled the 2 gig internet that I never signed up for. I asked her if she thought this was why the website was not letting me sign up, and she said it might be. I said I was going to attempt to check and see, and she replied with ok. I went to attempt to do it, and after about 10 seconds, she told me that she deleted my account, literally while I was attempting to sign up again.

Overall, my experience with AT&T was really frustrating. It took me a whole week to get everything sorted out, and I had to deal with a lot of lies and misinformation from customer support. The website was also really buggy, and I had a hard time signing up for internet. However, I did receive a $300 reward card, so that was a nice surprise.

I signed up for AT&T's combined wireless and Directv bill promotion back in March of 2016. The reason for doing so was because of the $10 off my bill each month promotion. When I called to combine the bills, I asked how long the promotion would last and I was told I would receive the $10 off as long as I maintain both services. However, this past January, the $10 discount disappeared from my bill. I called customer service to explain the situation and the representative issued me a $10 credit, making me think the issue was resolved. But when I received my February bill, the $10 discount was still missing.

I called customer service again, but the first call had me on hold for at least half an hour before I talked to someone. When I finally spoke to a representative, I had to explain the situation multiple times and was put on hold several times. After 56 minutes, I was disconnected. I called back and waited another 20 minutes or more before finally speaking to someone. After 39 minutes into the call, I was disconnected again.

Feeling flustered and frustrated, I called a third time and was told my approximate wait time was one minute, but it ended up being another 20 minutes or more. When I finally spoke to someone, I requested to speak to a supervisor. After being on the phone for 25 minutes, I received a call from a number I didn't recognize. The AT&T Protect app said it was a telemarketer, so I ignored it at first. But when I received another call a minute later, I answered and it was an AT&T supervisor calling me back from one of my previous calls.

After all the calls I made, I was told that because I enrolled in April of 2018, the offer was only good for 12 months. However, I enrolled in or around March of 2016, which I was able to prove with my paper statements. Then I was told it was a 24-month promotion, but that would mean the $10 discount should have ended in March 2018. Despite all of this, I was not able to get the $10 combine bill discount reinstated, but I did receive another $10 credit.

I am now hesitant to keep my bills combined, as I fear it may create another nightmare if I try to uncombine them. I am sharing my experience in hopes of finding others who have had similar problems with combined billing or to warn others who are considering combining their bills.

After hearing from someone at AT&T, the issue has still not been resolved. No one knows why this happened, and there is speculation that the offer wasn't the correct one that I applied for. I also wondered if moving had caused me to lose the offer, but I haven't received an answer to that either. It is frustrating that AT&T, as big as it is, can't solve a simple billing issue. If the offer had expired, I should have been given that answer. If the offer didn't expire and the problem was a glitch, it should have been as simple as reinstating the $10 a month credit. The last I heard anything was on April 9.

Have you ever felt like you were being bullied by a company? Well, that's how I feel about AT&T's Direct TV unit. I'm not the only one who feels this way, right? I mean, they're trying to make me pay for a service I didn't even receive. It's only $82, but if you multiply that by all the other victims, it's a lot of money. I wonder if this is considered exploitation of the elderly?

I've been an AT&T customer since 1981, which is 37 years! I've never missed a payment and have used their services for my house phone, wireless phone, internet, and TV. I've even purchased many AT&T phones. You could say I've been a loyal customer. But what's my reward for such loyalty? AT&T is ruining my credit rating over $82. It's like they want to show me who's boss.

Besides being greedy corporate pigs, there's more to this story. My husband and I were moving to a new home 30 miles away, so we called AT&T/Direct TV to cancel our TV and internet accounts. We received confirmation of cancellation and were told to take our receivers, modem, remotes, and large and small Genie boxes with us. We were assured that Direct TV was available in our new condo building, and a technician was scheduled to come out on March 29th to set up our TV.

I drove 35 miles to wait for the technician, but he never showed up. After calling several times, I was told that the technician showed up at our old address. We rescheduled for March 31st, and I drove 70 miles round trip to wait again. But the technician never showed up. When I called to find out why, they asked if I could be there on April 1st (April Fools' Day) from 12pm-4pm.

The technician finally showed up on April 1st, but after 5 minutes, he told me that he couldn't connect me to Direct TV because our side of the building didn't have line of sight to their satellite dish. He told me to send back the Genies and remotes, and I did so on April 4th via FedEx. I have all the receipts and confirmations.

But AT&T/Direct TV still sent this debt to a collection agency without even verifying if it was a valid claim. They even sent me a letter saying that this may seriously affect my credit rating. This is bullying, and it makes me nauseous.

It's clear that AT&T/Direct TV only cares about money, no matter who they hurt in the process. It's run by exceedingly greedy corporate executives. Nice job, AT&T/Direct TV directors. Are you feeling good now? Your day is coming!

In the late summer of 2019, I purchased a wireless internet system from AT&T for my rural home. The saleswoman assured me that the system would work despite the poor cell reception in my area. I paid $189.99 for the equipment and eagerly awaited its arrival.

However, when I tried to set up the device, I found that it had no signal. I called AT&T and spoke to a supervisor who was shocked that I had been sold a system that was clearly not going to work in my area. He promised to credit my account for the cost of the equipment and told me I did not need to return it. However, when I checked my bill, I found that I had not been credited and the equipment charge was still there.

Over the next few months, I spent hours on the phone with various AT&T representatives, each promising to credit my account or issue a refund check. However, nothing ever happened, and I continued to be charged for equipment I had returned.

Finally, after five months and over 23 hours on the phone, I received a credit to my account. However, the experience was frustrating and time-consuming, and I would not recommend AT&T to anyone looking for reliable customer service.

In October of 2015, I had AT&T come out to install a bundle with Direct TV, UVerse Internet, and Phone. The installation process was supposed to be straightforward. They were to initially hook up the internet and phone, and then a Direct TV person would come out later that day to hook up the Satellite. However, things did not go as planned.

Firstly, they cut off my home phone service and changed my number instead of installing a new line with a second number. Secondly, the Direct TV installer showed up, and after having my landlord and husband work with him to find a suitable spot for installation, they were unable to get a signal, and the Direct TV Satellite could not be installed. They left, leaving me with incomplete services.

I was told numerous times that there was a 30-day "NO HASSLE" satisfaction guarantee. However, when I realized that not only had they cut off my cable phone line and changed my phone number, but the bundle I agreed upon (3 Services Together) was not complete, I decided to cancel the Uverse/Direct TV incomplete bundle altogether.

It took me over 12 service representatives to get nowhere, and at one point, I was even connected to a Spanish-speaking operator who then transferred me to a bookstore. I even tried to call back after that! When I exhausted all my options, I called back the installer, who contacted his boss, who got me on the line with someone who "SAID" they canceled my service, and I would receive NO bill. I was told how to return the equipment to the UPS Store and promptly returned the equipment... that day... less than 4 hours after the failed install.

Shortly after, I received a bill for $81.96 and immediately called to inquire why. I figured the bill was just automatically generated upon initial installation and was a complete mistake, but I was wrong. I was again told I had a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and was well within the time limit. They told me they took care of the balance, and I thought that was the end of it.

However, I received a bill the next month, and the same situation occurred. They assured me they had zeroed the balance and everything was taken care of, but I received another bill the following month. This cycle continued for some time, and I even spoke with a gentleman in the Credit Dispute Department at AT&T to ensure the issue was taken care of before it was sent into collections. He assured me he had completely taken care of the situation.

However, 1.5 years later, I discovered an unpaid balance from Direct TV on my credit report. This was funny because I never even got the Satellite installed in the first place. The only services I had for two hours were the UVerse Internet and Phone. My credit score was very good, so I didn't even think there were any issues. I bought two new cars, and no one said anything about any issues on my credit.

I am in the process of buying a new home, and now I find that I have an outstanding unpaid balance of a mere $81.96. This will not hold me back, but really AT&T? How are you even still in business? How do you keep any of your customers when you make it near impossible to even get to the right person without jumping through dozens of flaming hoops?

My experience has highlighted some completely unacceptable business practices and even worse customer service practices of this company. If I were you, I would stay as far away from AT&T products and services as you possibly can. They don't keep up their end of a bargain, and they can't seem to fix the simplest of problems. Shame on you AT&T, shame.

AT&T is a company that I would not recommend to anyone. I have had multiple issues with them that have caused me a lot of frustration and wasted time. Let me tell you about my experience.

Firstly, my daughter ordered an iPhone 14+ and exchanged her iPhone 12, which was in mint condition. AT&T promised her a $800 discount, but after 7+ months, we still have not received the promotion. The trade-in was received by AT&T on 11/2/22, but as of today (5/9/23), it still shows the phone as in transit on AT&T's website. After months of phone calls, I finally spoke to a representative who told me that they made a mistake and that the phone is actually worth $800. It's frustrating that they take so long to process and issue proper credits, yet they want their money for the bill by the due date or else late fees apply.

Secondly, I downgraded my internet speed from 300 MBPS to 100 MBPS. It took AT&T up to 14 business days to process the downgrade, but it takes only seconds for them to upgrade to a higher speed/price. It's funny how it just so happens to miss the billing cycle so that I get charged for another month at a higher rate, but for an upgrade, it always seems to hit the current billing cycle perfectly. AT&T also sent me out a replacement modem for the downgraded speed, which makes no sense at all. What's worse is that it wasn't even the correct modem. It was a Uverse modem for an ethernet connection, but I have Fiber Optic internet.

On 3/28/23, I contacted the FCC and Ohio Attorney General to file a complaint in regard to the cell phone promotion. In less than 24 hours, I received a phone call from AT&T's office of the President. They assured me that my next bill will be correct, but we'll see. On 3/31/23, AT&T sent me a letter stating that I will now see credits in the next 2 billing cycles. They claim they made an exception and that the trade-in was "never received" and is "still in transit" for the past 7+ months. I only have 1 question for myself in regard to the iPhone trade-in. Did AT&T get it? Yes? No? Maybe So?

My April 2023 bill finally reflected manual credits for the past 6 months, which is a good thing. However, when I looked at the future monthly payments for the iPhone 14 Max, it reflects payments of $30.56, which is not correct. It should be $8.34 per month. AT&T only fixed 50% of the problem.

Lastly, the DirecTV cable wrapped around my gutter is fantastic, and it was a free installation too. I will be sure to add this to my photos of TV birds nest cables that are down my basement, wrapped around water lines, electrical boxes, a roll of toilet paper, and our Christmas tree. I love getting my neck caught on TV cables! At least if I fall off my roof, I have something to grab onto!

I worked for AT&T for 14 years, and this is a prime example of why I quit to save my sanity and my marriage. AT&T only cares about bringing in as much money as possible and wearing the customer out. They only care about AT&T, AT&T, and money. This review is posted to return the favor to AT&T for myself and every single customer that has gotten and will get the short end of the stick, both past, present, and future!

My friend Maggie recently had an experience with an AT&T salesperson that left her feeling very frustrated. Maggie is not a native English speaker, so she was hoping to find a salesperson who could speak Chinese. She contacted the AT&T Internet Sales department about three weeks ago, hoping to switch her business number to AT&T. Unfortunately, the salesperson who helped her was not very professional and ended up causing her a lot of problems.

When I went to the AT&T store on June 14, 2018, I overheard Maggie and the salesperson talking for about 30 minutes. The salesperson seemed more interested in talking about his personal life than helping Maggie with her problem. They even discussed what kind of steak Maggie might like, which seemed completely irrelevant to the situation at hand.

Despite talking for 45 minutes, the salesperson did not do anything to contact the activation department to help Maggie unlock her number. I felt like he was harassing her, and it was clear that Maggie was very upset. She just wanted to get her phone number back because it was essential for her business. Eventually, the salesperson brought in another Chinese-speaking salesperson to help, but the problem still couldn't be solved. The salesperson had locked Maggie's number, and the AT&T store staff couldn't help her activate it.

After about 15 minutes, the female salesperson was finally able to contact the activation department, and they told me to find a store staff member to help unlock the SIM card. Maggie and I spent over an hour and 15 minutes working with the salesperson, and she even had to leave to go to the restroom. Unfortunately, the AT&T store didn't have a restroom for customers, so she had to go to a nearby store. Meanwhile, the store staff and I kept working on the problem.

When Maggie returned from the restroom, she told me that the salesperson had called her personal cellphone again. He told her that no one was willing to help her unlock the number because they didn't get a commission. I don't believe that's true, and I think the salesperson was lying to her. It took another half hour before the store staff was finally able to help Maggie unlock and activate her number. She was so relieved and grateful that she almost cried.

Overall, Maggie spent three weeks dealing with this situation, and it was a very stressful and frustrating experience for her. She lost a lot of business because of the salesperson's mistake, and she had many sleepless nights worrying about her business phone number. It's unacceptable that she was subjected to harassment and torture by the salesperson, and I'm disappointed that AT&T would hire someone like that. I hope that AT&T will take steps to improve their customer service and hire more professional and competent salespeople in the future.

AT&T, a company with a long history of providing telephone services, seems to be struggling with managing a digital network. While they may be hindered by their old physical infrastructure designed for analog telephones, they should still be ahead of carriers who have to build everything from scratch. However, their miserable management prevents their own employees from doing a decent job.

Let's start with a fact about their "U-Verse" fiber network: it's not fiber except for some of the backbone. Customers are connected with copper cables. They promise multi-megabit bandwidth to the customer, but their backbone is badly overloaded. Most internet connections are bogged down so badly that many times they time out. The browser may report "URL not found" until you try a second or third time. Streaming videos (i.e., Netflix) will pause until enough data is received to continue, causing annoying breaks every few minutes.

If the poor performance wasn't bad enough, it's a world ahead of NO performance. On average, I lose ALL internet service for about 24 hours out of every week. Sometimes I get a notice online that they are about to do some repair or maintenance, and will be out of service for about 15 minutes. "About 15 minutes" really means until the next day, and usually requires a call to their "customer service". That call is ALWAYS frustrating because "customer service" is apparently staffed by Asian high school students trained to follow an exact script. Nevermind that the same problem has occurred repeatedly and is always found to be a configuration error in their network, they *alwaystell you the problem "must" be something you did in your home. Nevermind that on each of those prior occasions, they sent an AT&T tech to the house who found absolutely nothing wrong. Nevermind that service is mysteriously restored after someone finally calls the core network group who insist there are no problems with the network... Uhuh... If we are to believe customer service or the field technicians, they cannot contact the core network group to find out what they did to restore service. Against the rules.

Finally, there is the whole contract thing and the AT&T acquisition of DirecTV to offer a bundled service. The "bundle" consists of an AT&T contract for internet, and a separate*** contract with DirecTV for television. AT&T installed their cable, and DirecTV was to show up two weeks later. Except they didn't show up and the tech lied and said he was onsite. So I called, and they got a tech to actually show up. Then they said my location couldn't receive satellite signals. Another lie - I ended up calling DISH network, who installed their satellite service the next day. DirecTV cancelled their contract, but I was stuck with AT&T because *thatwas separate! Adding insult to injury, this makes AT&T even higher priced, and it was already the most costly.

AT&T does ONE thing right as far as I can tell: they make a point of grading their field service based on customer reviews. The result is that the field service people do everything possible to help the customer in a professional and courteous manner. Unfortunately, since the real problems are in the backbone core network, and the field service are not allowed to contact the group responsible, there is little they can do to improve the abysmal service.

It is particularly galling that I cannot get honest answers from AT&T. I have spent 30+ years as a technical consultant to our government and a few allied nations, focused mainly on network communications. I have been the chief troubleshooter for several global networks and can diagnose many problems with a little factual data. But AT&T hides behind glossy marketing fluff and false promises. Instead of fixing problems, they merely deny them. I should have expected that their commercial service would be no different than their government service, with which I am all too familiar.

BOTTOM LINE: If you have a choice, choose another network provider. No matter how good the promises made by AT&T sound to you, know that you will be sorry if you sign any contract.

I have purchased the apple Iphone 12 pro from AT&T store on December, 2020 which was locked for 30 months as per agreement. I paid the entire balance amount on first week May, 2023. After that I called customer service almost more than 10 times to unlock the device. Also, filled out the form online to unlcok the device. Nothing worked out.

Customer service always gave the wrong information and asked me to go to the AT&T store or apple store but after visiting the store, store guys told me that only customer service from AT&T is authorized to do so.

Lastly when I called after pissed off doing multiple times, customer service denied saying they cannot proceed with unlock the device with no reason.

I've been paying insurance for almost three years. My phone battery losses power every hour. On May 23rd I had an appointment for them to replace my battery at 5; 00 pm- I got a call they will be there at 6, at 6 I got a call they'll be there at 7, 7 they called they'll be there at 8, I didn't get a call to 8:30 saying they'll be there in 30-45 minutes. I don't know these people and I wouldn't want Dexter in my house that late at night so I told him no. I then get an e-mail that I canceled the appointment. I then set up an appointment for 6/09 again at 5:00 pm- 7:00 pm. No show, No e-mail..like they don't care about their customers. I've been paying insurance about $10.00 a month for almost 3 years and I would like that money refunded. I have 3 phones with At & T and if I don't get satisfaction

they'll lose a customer plus other family and friends that can't believe what I'm going through. I have to have my phone on a charger to work most of the day.

Last night I spoke to their customer service and they said they don't have batteries for my phone. If At & T doesn't have batteries for a 2020 SE

who does? My, phone # is [protected]

I ordered internet late November of 2022, and never received my equipment, so I contacted AT&T and found out that they sent the equipment to the incorrect address. AT&T apologized for the inconvenience and said they will cancel my account #[protected] and send new equipment to the correct address with a new account #[protected]. I received the new equipment and had internet, but I started to notice on my billing that I was getting charged for the canceled account and the new account. So I called to ask why I was being billed for both accounts and I was told that it will be handled and don't worry about the fees for the canceled account #[protected], and it ended up being the same situation for about 4 months and then I stopped seeing the bills for account #[protected] on My AT&T app, so I thought they finally handled it. NOPE, now AT&T has turned me in to collections, so now I have no choice but to fight it and send a complaint off to the Better Business Bureau! I don't understand how I owe money for a service that I never received

AT&T cable 3 years ago cancelled my service after I had paid my bill early then requested double the payment. After calling and complaining they reached out to me the following month an admitted there was a mistake with the billing and I had paid my bill on time. I told the person on the phone that I no longer wanted their service and to send me a mailing slip to mail back their equipment. I was told they would get that right out to me which they did not. I then the following month called back requesting mailing slip once again and told the customer service person that I had requested slip and was told they would get it right out to me and that I never received it, I was then told again that they would sendit right out. Still it never came then I received a bill in thee amount of 881.00 for service I wasnt receiving plus their equipment. I then called again repeating the previous requests. Once again I was told they would send the mailing slip for me to return their equipment. After this conversation I called and was told the equipment was to no use to them and they put vthis total on my credit. This is not right, this is unfair business practices.

If I could leave negative stars I would! I called in February to cancel phone service for my small business after having it for over 10 years. It wasn’t canceled until April when I realized money was missing from my account! I called to hand it canceled again, the incompetent employee didn’t remove the automatic payment so they charged us 3 months of service at $272 when originally our bill was only $67.08 for nearly 10 years! Then for 3 months we got the run around about refunding over $800 to our account which we still have not received to this day. It is now June! We have spoken to numerous agents, at least 2 supervisors and we still don’t have our refund. This has severely impacted our business not to mention the 3 overdrafts it caused to our business account. If this is how they treat a 10+ year customer what do you think they will do to you! Do not use AT&T! Period

Hello

I have a charge I don't recognize and I would like to get refunded. I don't need any names or whoever used my card I would just like to get my money back.

I will provide a bank statement in the attachment.The card is ending 9323 and belongs to Alina Ryskulova(me) Charge was on 15th of May.Sum is :$306.72

I don't even live in the United States so I guess fraudelnt charge was made.

Please look for this charge and cancel it. I talked to my bank and I was said that your company refused to return money even there is a proof. I really worked hard to earn this money and it would be very unfair to lose it.

Thank You

Hello,

My name is Maria Halpern and my position is Program Manager at South Florida PBS aka WPBT Channel 2.1 and WXEL Channel 42.1.

We have been receiving complaints from our viewers indicating that the Program Listings on the AT&T Guide are inaccurate, as to what is airing.

This makes it hard for them to watch and record.

I do not see AT&T on my list of TV Listings Contacts that I send my Schedule Grids to each month. Perhaps, if we could have your contact information, we would be able to include AT&T to receive our Schedules and the Program Information can be checked and corrected and this issue can be resolved for the viewers of South Florida.

Thank you.

Here's my contact information.

You are a Great station!

I have to record some of your shows and lately have found AT&T’s program guide to be very inaccurate regarding your shows and times.

They blame the provider, you.

I know I can use passport, but prefer watching your wonderful content on my television.

Please do something about getting this problem addressed.

Thank you very much.

Keep up the great work.

I went into the Kingwood, TX AT&T Store near Houston. I bought a new watch that I originally went in for, and signed up for Direct TV that THEY encouraged because I commented my current provider is incompetent. The manager said he would be at my house two days later to install. (Direct TV doesn’t do this.) He never set a time, never called me — never showed up. I called twice that day — no call back from anyone in the store. No one cared, and no one made any effort to save the AT&T account of decades. I realized the whole thing was a sham to sell a product — it was cruel.

I reported the incident to both AT&T and Direct TV — and every review site I can find. Of course, I also canceled the DT account and “installation.” I will never shop there again and will look for a new wireless company. Don’t be cruel to hardworking customers: we bite.

Over 5 years ago I moved my business and had a new landline number,

[protected], and my original land line number, [protected], was rolled over to the new land line? I was forced to buy a wireless phone to roll everything over to telling me that there would be the charge for the phone but no other charges. Well, for 5 years not only have I been paying monthly for the original number separate from my business phone number but a 2nd number was added that I did not ask for and it was rolled over to the wireless original number at twice the cost. I have tried for 4 years to get this number disconnected to no avail nd now after being on the phone for 2 hours I am not able to disconnect it yet again because I'm being told that it is a land line, it is not! I refuse to pay for this phone number any longer, [protected] since no one in your company knows what they are doing.

Next, I don't know where you are outsourcing your customer service but it is terrible unless of course you are from where ever they are. It is little wonder why I can't get things taken care of because it takes forever for not only your customers, but you service people as well to understand each other. You are an American business why are you not using Americans to answer your phones? This little mistake has cost me over $5000.00 thus far and it is still not settled or disconnected. I try to stay American and A T & T but other companies are looking more & more valuable to me.
