AT&T door to door sales liars

AT&T sales people (I don't think they work for AT&T) all seem to be big liars. Last year a young gal told me she was checking my internet speed with her cell phone. I have a totally hard wired system and when she flashed me her phone she had one of those "check your internet speed" websites. I imagine the speed result she flashed me was her smart phone connection. Today a young Asian guy was telling me I'm so lucky because I live on this street where AT&T has installed fiber optic cable. I asked him which cable was new and he pointed up to a big black cable that has been there forever and on which the tree next to it has actually grown around the cable. I later checked online and AT&T may bring fiber optic "GigaVerse" (or something like that) to parts of SF Bay Area but in ain't here, yet. I then went to the Uverse website and got a better deal than he was offering by buying it online. I did not buy it because AT&T had the worst customer service when there was only phone service being offered in the 80's and 90's and I don't think it has changed. These sales people are horrible liars and I would never purchase anything from anybody that I knew was lying to me. Comcast is expensive but still the best in the bay area and so much better than when I had them in the 80's in Seattle. I think they actually have good customer service, NOW. I, also, like how they have invested in the bay area sports broadcasting. So, I'm staying with them until somebody actually offers something competitive and doesn't start out lying to me.

AT&T tricked by at&t attendant

I have been a loyal customer of AT&T for over 15 year. December 2013, I upgraded my telephone to an i-phone 5, and the AT&T attendant asked me to sign a new contract that according to him it was going to be $105.00/month, and I was keeping the same plan (unlimited Internet and text services). My bills are automatically paid via internet. However, on May I started to received messages on my phone of additional charges due to exceeding internet usage, I called AT&T after reviewing my excessive billing of over $170.00/mo. They admitted that the attendant most likely want it to make a commission and misled/tricked me into changing my plan. Even though, AT&T customer service acknowledge the scam that I was victim of by one of their own, they claimed they could not do anything about it. My only option is to cancel the contract, which it will cost me $600.00. So, disappointed at AT&T. I will be canceling the service as soon as my contract is over in a year, and I will be discouraging any friend, family or business associate to use AT&T as their cellular/mobile provider. Most of my family is with Spring, they pay $75.00/month and have unlimited internet and text services...Spring will be my future cellular provider. Needless to say...AT&T company does not value their loyal long term clients, they have a terrible customer service, and I was not surprise when they told me they do not have a complaint department...and this is a multibillion dollar corporation...they just care about making money and no about doing the right thing for the client...I will give my business to a smaller company that value my me as a business...

AT&T gift card

ATT sold us a Uverse program and promised a $100. gift card within 60 days, to offset the charges of changing over to Uverse. We have had the Unverse acct for several months and thus far, no gift card has been received in the mail as promised.
Calling ATT regarding this issue is a waste of time. I've spent over an hour speaking with 3 different customer service reps and then placed on more holding time, for over 2 hours. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE JUST WANT ATT TO HONOR THEIR PROMISE AND SEND US THE $100. GIFT CARD.

You are NEVER going to get it. They make these promises regularly. They once promised me a $250.00 card to offset my fee for dropping my former carrier. I never saw a dime. This time they offered me $75.00 for signing up another person . I signed up my neighbor and she was supposed to get $75.00 too. Neither of us has seen a red cent. It's just another of their scams.

I should have known better than to trust them. I got a fantastic deal for one year. Now that the year is almost up, my bill is going up to OMG how will I pay this and they have no discounts to give me that will keep my bill the same price or lower. Those good deals are only to reel in new victims. Once you're a customer they don't want to know you.

I for one am sick and tired of playing cable musical chairs and am filing complaints with every agency that has even a faint promise of doing something about it, including my pretty much useless representatives in Washington. When you file with the FCC it does get their attention and you will get personalized service from headquarters telling you why you're not going to get your $100.00.

Good luck

AT&T lack of signal

At&t cell service is poor at our new residence. I have contacted att&t and spent hours on the phone. I have traveled from one at&t store to another. There is a solution. It is an at&t mini cell tower for my house. At&t wants $200 and a monthly contract of $14. 95 for this. I am a senior citizen and have had at&t for many years. At&t customer service phone reps don't speak good english and do not seem to want to help. Could that be because they are in a foreign country?

At&t customer service does not seem to care if i change carriers or not.

OK... What is the complaint?
They want more money for a different service that might solve the problem OR that the person you are talking to does not speak English that well?

AT&T cut off for no explainable reason

This is a letter I sent off when I returned at&t's modem. I also sent a copy to the ceo's emai address (For all the good it will do. )

To the powers that be at att,

My wife, diane and I have had a land line at the home we have lived in for better that 14 years. Early on our phone was directly with att. Later we were offered a bundled deal with cox communications that included cable tv, high speed internet and a home phone line that would keep our (Xxx-xxx-9648) number. Other than having to rush to enter a phone number we had no problems with this bundle.

I recently lost my job due to the owner of the store deciding to retire. My wife, in a cost cutting strategy, said we could save a significant amount by going with direct tv and there was a bundle available that would include att home phone and dsl internet. We have had no problems with direct tv. Their customer service is available even in times I wouldn't have expected it to be. More importantly the system was professionally installed and the man did not leave until he and my wife were both convinced that everything was working properly. I wish the same could be said about the att portion of our bundle. There have been problems with installation and quite a bit of time had to be spent with customer service to get our land line operating. Our dsl was also a problem at first and the only person there who seemed to know what he was doing was a tech support manager named cadence.

We finally got everything going a couple of months ago but there seemed to be a problem getting a bill sent in the mail. My wife complained to one of your customer support people that she wanted a physical bill that she could pay instead of having money drawn out of her account. Within a few days our land line was mysteriously cut off. My wife tried to get the problem resolved initially with no success. Since I was out of a job anyway I took over the daily calls to you to try and fix the mess. I talked to numerous customer support people from bombay to chicago and every time I would have to start over from scratch since you don't seem to have case numbers to refer to. I have been told that our phone number is our case number but why should I have to explain every detail of our situation each time? One problem became clear later in my first week of dealing with this - our dsl phone number (Xxx-xxx-4397) , was the only number that brought up anything in your system. As far as you were concerned our land line number (Xxx-xxx-9648) ceased to exist on the date that cox took it over and was never associated with us again even though we did have a working land line with that number for almost two months.

My main complaint with this whole situation was that I have requested that the last conversation with my wife be reviewed in order to ascertain what, if anything might have been misconstrued to mean that we wanted our phone disconnected. This was not done and nobody has ever been able to tell me what happened. As a matter of fact, my wife and I had been promised call backs from supervisors on numerous occasions that never materialized.

After a solid week of dealing with this situation the only proof that anything was done on your end was that we would get a silent line rather than a ringing when we tried our home number by dialing it on our cell phones. Of course there was no sound of ringing in our house, the phone being unusable, and we came to the conclusion that what we had with att was a bungle, not a bundle.

We have since gone back to cox for our internet needs and are going to make do without a land line altogether. What little faxing my wife was planning to do from our land line can be done elsewhere and we will save money on what would have been that part of our bill. We would appreciate it if you could prorate our bill so we are not paying for non-existant service with our land line.

The slogan I have been seeing on your literature, " rethink possible", has taken on an ironic twist.

I received an rma for the modem via internet and will be sending it off today. One copy of this critique of att will appear in the box and another will be sent via email to however high in the food chain I can reach.

What was the email address for the CEO. I had one that bounced back. They completely misled me and had a rep from an Indian call center call me
. She said that she had good news because although my promotion had expired they merged with DISH tv and could offer me a better plan now. Sure...(.they essentially opened up an account with DISH and have nothing to do with it.) My technician cancelled and no one called to tell me. I sat around waiting all day. Turn out after talking with 5 people at DISH and sending an email to the alleged "Office of the President' someone explained this to me. They hadn't compromised my PII because they opened the account and gave it to DISH. That's what they think...I'm appalled. I thought I was doing business with ATT, and I wasn't ...completely mislead me

This is a very common problem. When I went to UPS store to return my equipment the UPS representative told me to make sure and keep the receipt because MANY people have this problem. I suppose people steal the equipment. It had even happened to The UPS store rep as well as as one of my friends.

AT&T billing

On February 7, 2014, I cancelled my DSL account with AT & T. In March, I received a bill from AT & T for all of February, March and an alleged overdue balance for January. The overdue balance was highly unlikely, as I had automatic payments. I immediately called and complained. The unhelpful AT & T representative attempted to tell me that I never cancelled my service. When I gave them the cancellation notice, they amazingly found the cancellation. I immediately stopped the automatic payments. 2 weeks later, I received a nasty gram from AT & T claiming that I had an overdue balance, consisting of 3 months worth of DSL service (surprise, surprise, they did not fix the billing problem) At that time I contacted AT & T again regarding this issue and they told me that they would look into it and get back to me. Another 2 weeks later, I received another "nasty" gram from AT & T regarding my overdue balance, which was not $20 cheaper, I immediately contacted AT & T, who surprisingly couldn't find my account, after 27 minutes on the phone I hung up. 3 days later, AT & T illegally withdrew the full amount, prior to the $20 deduction out of my account. Again I immediately contacted AT & T, where I was then informed that they were NOT permitted to withdrawal funds from my account and that they would put them back in immediately, here it is weeks later... Those funds have still not been returned. When I contacted AT & T there story now is that they are going to send me a check. Interestingly enough. And yes, I am still getting "nasty" grams from them claiming that I have an overdue balance. Unreal. AT & T is by far the WORST customer service and WORST company overall. The service that they provide is spotty, at best, and they charge top dollar for the spotty service. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

AT&T billing

Tried uverse for less than 24 hours. Called to have service terminated and was told that the account could not be closed since my phone had been ported to uverse and I needed to wait until it was ported back to att landland. That happened 10 days later. Called back to att to terminate my contract with uverse and get confirmation number required to return equipment. Returned all equipment that same day. Called back to make final payment (Owed for installation charges - those were legitimate). Told that couldn't make final payment until I received final paper bill. Got another bill for normal service - not the final bill so I called again. Told that I never cancelled my account so I owed for entire first months charges plus a prorated portion of the second month's service.

These folks did nothing more than string me along until I exceeded my 30 day free rescission policy.

Do not agree to converting your phone to uverse until you are sure you like the internet and/or tv service - - which by the way is not as good as direct tv.

I paid the bill because I knew that if I didn't my credit would be affected. I will disconnect all of my att services including land line and my wife's wireless as soon as possible.

AT&T price increase while on contract

I agreed to renew ATT uverse for one year in December, based on a quote to me of a total price for services. Now ATT says it is fair to raise the rate one month into my contract, yet I am penalized if I break the contract. Shouldn't a contract obligate both sides to the agreement?

I have the same problem. Last November I entered into a 2 year contract. Jan. they raised their rates. I called them out on it and was told they raised the rate for everyone . W. t. F.!
I thought I was in a locked price contact? Apparently, they fals advertise and are so big, they get away with it. Can't wait to cancel in Nov. they can take all their junk out of my house and shove it!

AT&T - door to door sales tactic

Sitting down having dinner with my young son last night and a man claiming to be from AT&T Uverse came knocking at the door. He asked is I had anyone previously come talk to me about the new fiber optic line that AT&T had placed in my neighborhood, going on to talk about getting digital cable. Gave me the creeps so gut feel lead me to say I wasn't...

AT&T stealing money from its customers

It's quite obvious at this point AT&T is at the center of this scam as it's happening to its customers all over the country and yet they do nothing about it and allow it to continue. Even more so, when trying to cancel the subscription online a repeated error pops up only to dissuade the customer further in hopes they'll just let it go since it's only a 4 dollar charge. 4 dollars adds up when it's propagated on a wide-spread basis. Call not only to make them aware you know of their scam, but to switch services as well.

AT&T useless agents

I needed to unlock my iphone and decided to try the website www.att-iphone-unlock.com. They promised to unlock my phone within 3 days, and they told me to pay them in advance. After I paid for their services, they only promised to help me and unlock phone, but they did nothing. I called them several times, but the agents were really useless and couldn’t tell anything directly. I wonder if there are other people, who had the same experience. Let’s share views about this website.

I disagree with the complain above as I'm their customer too. First I have never seen that their delivery time was 3 days. AT&T unlocking policy was changed in October 2013 and fast unlock delivery almost finished. It is pity but that is not att-iphone-unlock.com fault. I understand them as they are not the only company which suffered from this. All I mean that they are not scammers as my iPhone was unlocked (however not in 7 days but in 9 days) and I'm able to use any SIM card I need. It's all AT&T...

AT&T customer service, billing, service

We ordered Uverse in September and had nothing but issues the first month. Sound continually went out, on all HD channels, picture would scatter and we would have to reboot the system in order to get sound back. Finally got a tech to come out and replace the faulty box that was installed. They did not even credit us for one month of service we never got any use of! Then, due to their billing issue (wrong account number, one number off); our service was off for 2 hours. I immediately went to a local service area and paid the bill (EXTRA FEES). These jerks added $60 onto our bill for "connection fees" because the service had to be restored. Are you kidding me? 2 hours, their fault and they have to push a button to turn it back on? Crony capitalism at it's best here. We still have issues with intermittent sound problems on HD, yet they they say this a "known issue." Okay, fix it! Why are we paying full price for a service that is not properly functioning? Will be getting rid of Uverse and going back Dish ASAP!

AT&T customer service dsl support

I tried to order phone and DSL bundle via online AT&T website. The ticket was created but I received an email stating that DSL wasn't available. Over the course of the next THREE MONTHS, I made a series of phone calls and/or online order placements and kept being told that it was not available BUT...it was probably because I hadn't had the copper run to the house yet because it was new construction. I said ok, run the copper. Every time I talked to somebody a ticket was created and subsequently kicked out. Somehow, finally, a ticket was created and I was told that even though it was kicked out, I would get an install date and someone would come out. My install date was set and it was a month away (October 3rd 2013 I believe). On October 4th, I called to check on the status since nobody showed up or even bothered to call and was told that there was an engineering problem and my date had been bumped to October 31st (Not sure why they wouldn't call to tell me that).

During this process I was told that I needed to have the technician check the box when he came out to verify that DSL slots were available. The DSL is capped to preserve capacity and as long as slots were available, I could easily be added. When he arrived (a day or two early) I asked him and was assured that slots were available. He said to call back and ask to put in a 'DSL Escalation' Ticket which would go to engineering for approval. Engineering has to make the call as to whether or not the capacity is sufficient to support an additional subscriber. So...I did all this and was told to call back in a week to check the status of the escalation ticket.

That brings us to today. I call DSL Sales [protected]) and an prompted by their horrible voice recognition software to give a brief description of what I'm calling about. I say "Ticket Status" and get put on hold. Finally I get a person who oddly enough speaks English and am told that they can't help me, I need to hang up and call DSL sales back at [protected]. HUH? "I just did that" I said. "Oh, well you need to say New Sales" I am told. So I am getting a little hot(ter) but I hang up and call back. I get some middle eastern dude who asks me for my phone number. I'm aggravated at this point so I say "why doesn't your system just transfer it over". He says "Huh?". I said "When I called in it asked me for my phone number and I typed it in. Then I get you and you again ask me for my number. Why doesn't your system just transfer it over?" After about 3 seconds of silence, the phone line goes dead. This little ### hung up on me because apparently he was perplexed by such a difficult question.

So I have to hang back up and call back and this time I ask for an employee number (as I was told by another AT&T employee to do). This time it's a middle eastern woman. She says something like "Can I get your phone number?". I said "yeah, but first, can I get your employee number?". She says "well who am I speaking with?". I said "who am I speaking with". It was kinda comical actually but she says "Ken". Huh? she says her name is Ken and reluctantly gives me KL377 as an employee number. So I said ok, and I start to go through what's going on. I say I need to check on the status of a DSL Escalation ticket. She says ok, let me get Tech Support. I said "I just talked to tech support and they said they couldn't help me I needed to speak with new sales." No avail, she insists on bringing them on the line. So I get this American chick on the line with us and have to explain everything to her. She says what I already said and tells this indian chick that she can't do anything because she is tech support and this is a new service issue. I but in and say "hopefully you can understand why I am getting frustrated, you people can't even seem to figure out your own processes and keep passing me between each other". She asks if I have a ticket number which I provide and she says "Huh, that's odd, they usually start with a letter like "Y"". So the other indian chick realizes that this number may be useful and types it in and says "it says DSL isn't available". I said "I know that, I need to know what the status is of the escalation ticket". I end up getting nowhere and the American tech support check gets frustrated with her and says "You need to figure out who he needs to speak with, I am dropping off the line". The indian chick then says "Ok, see, there you go". Huh? See what? What are you talking about? I said "you know what, cancel the phone. The only reason I got the phone hooked up was to verify if DSL was available. If you people are too incompetent to figure this out, just disconnect the service." She giddily says "No problem, please hold".

So I finally get cancellation (or rather retention). Another American guy, thank god, who asks me if there was a problem. I go through the whole thing explaining every minute detail and he is dumbfounded. He apologizes and says he can see the ticket and the status is still pending. If I can just give them a little more time and call back in a week. I said "and get them again?". "Why would I call back in a week and deal with them?" He informed me that I could just ask for retention department when I call back and skip right past them.

Bottom line, AT&T employees are by and large incompetent. Particularly the ones that are outsourced. They are rude, incompetent, and entirely incapable of doing the jobs that they are outsourced to do. AT&T made a big mistake send all this work over there and obviously has an insufficient training program. The employees don't understand the systems that they use and are unhelpful when trying to resolve issues any more complex than entering new order tickets. If there was ANY other choice for me, I would go with another company. Any choice at all.

Husband was working for company in Michigan 7 mos ago. Contract closed sent home, took pay cut struggled with phone bill. Yet we've always paid large bills sometimes carry overs bills. We have five lines, husband and three (kids) students, two away at college. The account is in my name and I've been with them for four years. Kicker is we were calling to pay this total bill that has since jumped from 1400, to 1700. A week ago, oh what number they've been reassigned and although you're a loyal customer. Can't find you're account cause you don't matter.

We turned off our land line in july, which took us out of bundled billing. However, we still have 4 cell phone lines with ATT. Our cell phones should continue normal billing according to representative with ATT we may receive a check from the land line side.
August: received a $6 check along with a “last bill” statement from the land line service. Sent ATT payment for cell phones-the payment was cashed but lost. We received threatening shut off letters. Called ATT wanted us to produce proof it was cashed or send another payment. However, located money sitting with the land line department and transferred money after being on the phone with ATT for over an hour.
September: received another $6 check and shut off letter. Called because they lost the payment (AGAIN) however after an hour or so of being on the phone with ATT located the check in the land line department and transferred the money.
October: received another check and the nasty letter, called we located the money and will have it transferred again---an hour conversation. This time, however, a few days later (after a call back from the rep and a automated confirmation )the payment was sent back to us via a check in the mail-phones turned off and service was abruptly interrupted. I called and spoke with rep (again, over an hour) and the rep informed me that the internet information was incorrect and linked to the wrong account and also that I should have been given a new account number in July. Despite the fact that none of the previous representative or managers were able to figure out why this was happening. So the payment was reissued-AGAIN! This was Tuesday, I let the rep know that I would be paying it via my bank and that they would be mailing the payment and that took 5-7 business days, he said okay and noted that in the account. I wanted to do it this way because this was the method I use to pay all my bills and I also wanted to make sure all the information was accurate. Glad I di because Monday the phones were turned off AGAIN! And ATT wants $600 to turn the phones back on because they don’t have the check. When the representative gave me a new account number, he failed to mention a change of address, so now I have a accurate account number (to the mobility side of ATT) but at the wrong address (the land line side of ATT) and ATT now wants an additional $300 dollars for the payment that just lapsed Saturday, while we were trying to take care of this payment.
Can someone help me understand how ATT will have $900 (roughly) from me in order to restore my service----of which is there fault is messed up in the first place.

AT&T customer should be the one to have the spec that wanted.

At&t failure to understand what an individual need when it come to a high quality phone. Nokia put out the spec of the phone that the customer expect that will come when the phone arrive, but get the least quality of that particular phone. If At&t listen to what customer want in a phone they will have a steady stream of customer. They need to market there Mobil phones base on what the customer expect when the manufacture list the spec that the phone is coming with. There market strategy will be a lot better and they can create loyal customer that want to do business. By pushing there product create problem but it work for awhile because customer want that particular product. To have a stronger customer base and keep your growing steadily stronger . You have to build loyalty and give the consumer what they want in a Mobil phone. A word of mouth attract a lot of attention and that create a study stream of customer.

AT&T reward card

In August 2013 I got a new service of att uverse and got a good deal via website. I fixed my installation date and got a 25$ reward card. On the installation day I waited for the technician and later I called to check the status and it turns out my order did not went through, they apologize and got me the new order number with same details and instead of 25$ they offered 50$ reward card. The technician arrived way late from the time allotted and told me there is some prob. And I can not do it today but I insisted as I needed the net ASAP.after the installation following couple of weeks I got the mail representing how much my first bill will be and it showed double the price I was offered. I called back to att and the representative told me that seems like somthing went wrong sorry for that, your bill will be this much $. I than ask her that I saw an ad that was delivered to me n it offered same price as I am getting but it is 100$ reward card and she said she will process that and I'll receive 100$ reward card after 6-8 weeks. Today when I called regarding one the bill issues I was having, I casually asked the status of my reward card and to my surprise they told me I am not eligible for the reward card. This is so strange and spoke to their supervisor and after all the explanation he said the maximum he can do is give me 50$ credit but no reward card. This is so not right. I never asked for any thing they offered me for all the inconvenience caused by them and now that I am paying my bills regularly that's how I get treated from them.

AT&T billing

I never signed up for AT&T support plus, but it was added to my bill at $5 a month. I requested that it be removed from my account and the payments refunded. AT&T agreed to remove it from my account and refund 3 months $15. My next bill showed the $15 credit, but then they charged me another $5 for the service again!

Support Plus..sucks!
It's slow to upload and sometimes it doesn't at all. When it does.. sometime it doesn't scan correctly. When it completes a scan.. sometimes it stays on buffering and doesn't stop. You have to completely disable it and reset it!
That's a pain in the [censored] that I'm paying for.

Yes, i have a similar situation with At&T with this support plus. Since i had signed up with paperless billing i had gotten in a bad habit of checking my bill regularly. i had missed a couple of months with just paying my bill then checked it next month and noticed this support plus charge of $15, then noticed they had been charging me for this for a while. i was furious, like what the hell is support plus? I work as a tech support manager for a software company and would never sign up for this to begin with. I called At&t to find out what it was and did not get much of an answer but was told that it would be taken off my bill as well as never to be charged with it again. I was support plus free for a while then noticed that it mysteriously resurfaced on my bill again and again! i again, had to use my valuable time to call at&t and jump through all of the hoops to finally talk to a poor soul who has to work for this company. They were nice to give me a $100 debit card as well as reimburse me for something that i had never signed up for to begin with. i then get next months bill and guess what showed up on this bill? No, it was not another $15 charge for support plus but a $10 charge for Support Plus Early Termination Fee! I have had it with this company. i will again call At&t to get this off my bill, but will also tell them I plan on calling the St. Louis news team to get them on the 5 o'clock news to report the despicable, immoral company practices they have and still are practicing. It amazes me how they are able to get away with billing their customers for all of these illegitimate charges! It would not surprise me at all if I get this taken care of and then find another $15 support plus charge next month along with a few more illegitimate charges. They will hear from me about this before it happens again!
