I went to this at&t store, to activate an unlocked tablet that i purchased online. This rep girl didn't even think, she just charged me $30 for a sim card that she picked herself, then she tried to figure out if and how it's going to work. The tablet wasn't working when i left the store, but she guaranteed that it will. I called customer care a few hours later, they did everything they could, but it never worked. I took it back to the store the next day, the same girl kept me for almost 2 hrs, trying to make it work again, but she couldn't. I asked for a refund, but she claimed that there's no refund on prepaid, there's nothing she can do. I called the main number, they told me to go back to the store to get my money back since i paid cash. I went back for the 3rd time and tried to talk to the manager, she was very rude and mean. She said there's no guarantee on prepaid, if the phone is unlocked it should have worked, if it's not, that's not her problem. I wish they had told me that before taking my $30. Most of the employees in that store, managers included, are very unprofessional and they are willing to take advantage of people just for a few bucks.

I purchased 3 cell phones that supposedly came with a 1 year warranty.One of the cell phones stopped working properly only a few months after purchase.

So, to take advantage of my phone's "WARRANTY", I contacted the place of purchase. I was given a phone number and told I could participate in the Exchange By Mail Program--sounded simple enough. Before I could send my phone in, I was asked a series of questions about different things on my phone, EX: look under the battery and tell me the color, what does the screen show, etc..The lady told me that she had to check for damage.--After all was cleared by her, I was sent a box to return my phone.

Within a few weeks, I received my "REFURBISHED" replacement phone---and all was well...UNTIL...

I then received a letter stating that my account would be charged $115.00--WHAT?! I have contacted the number given and told them what it read.I was told that oh this phone has water damage and I would be charged 115.00 for this REFURBISHED phone.Although no indicators were visible to the lay person, YEP, it was damaged and therefore was not covered by warranty.-MY PHONE ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT EXPOSED TO WATER OR ANY LIQUID.Well, turns out that if you talk outside you might get condensation in your phone and that only an EXPERT could detect this...yeah, yeah.

So, I said I wanted to return the replacement phone since I could purchase the same phone NEW on eBay for $64.00.--Surprisingly, I was informed that they could not tell me how to do that--and that I could not GET OUT of their EXCHANGE program and that I had to PAY the outrageous price for the REFURBISHED phone. WHAT A SCAM !

SO, IN CONCLUSION, YOUR WARRANTY IS NOT WORTH A HILL OF BEANS ! YOU, MY FRIEND HAVE NO CONTROL--ONLY THE "EXPERTS" HAVE A SAY SO IN DETERMINING WHAT LIABILITY WILL BE PLACED ON YOU !

IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO KNOW JUST HOW MANY FOLKS OUT THERE HAVE BEEN "BURNED" BY THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE PURCHASE OF YOUR AT&T PHONE. --

My nextdoor neighbor has DSL from AT&T but AT&T refuses to hook me up to the same system. The system next door is 1/2 mile from the terminal box whereas my terminal box is 2-1/2 miles away. AT&T people have explained to me that my telephone service is compromised because my phone connection is too far of a distance to that terminal box. There are many, many breaks and repairs in those lines and AT&T staff have repeatedly asked AT&T to supply DSL to the rest of us in the community. I am disgusted with AT&T and do not go to a competitor because that new entity would use the existing AT&T line. I am unable to rent the mobile home on my property because no one wants dial-up for the Internet.

I would like nothing more than to never see the logo of AT&T again! I do have to have a land line though and am trapped by the poor service and attitudes of AT&T.

We signed up at the Berwyn store, forgoing the rebates available for signing-up online, so we could make sure our service was ordered correctly. J signed us up for HD Dish service, although we did not know it was HD until later, and the Elite DSL package, all with a rebate for keeping a month of service.

The DISH

We had problems with the Dish connection going in and out, sometimes 5 times an hour; we thought the reception just was bad. It was not until we found out the technician hooked up only 3 of the 4 televisions, that we were told he installed HD equipment (more expensive) and that was causing our reception problems.

Customer service said that he should have noticed we did not have any HD TV������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½s, and hooked up the regular equipment. So a technician had to come back, a week later, to take out the HD equipment, replace it, and hook up the 4th TV. After making a complaint against the first technician, he was not only on his cell phone constantly, but he made my husband help him for 4 hours, causing my husband to miss half a day of work, customer service said they would send a manger to set-up the correct equipment. Instead, we got a non-manager that asked us what the problem was. We were told that he would ask for a correction to our bill, for the weeks with problem service, but he said to call customer service when we got the bill.

After getting the bill, I have been unable to reach anyone that can explain the numerous charges and credits. After transfers, waiting, and dropped calls, I was transferred to the DISH company. Vanessa explained that they paid AT&T for the mistakes made, and I do not owe them anything.

The DSL

Our Elite DSL was a dream, until 2 weeks into service. We started losing signal from the house to the server, so I called Technical Support. TS suggested we were not getting enough signal in the house, and tried transferring me to a senior tech. After 30 minutes on hold, I hung-up. My husband then called the next day, and after doing some tests, they sent a technician to the house a couple days later. Our area, and our house, does not support the Elite AT&T DSL. Our choices are to accept the higher speed with less connection, or downgrade the service.

At this point, I called the Berwyn store, and left a voice mail for the manger, letting her know how much trouble J���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½s mistakes were, and how much time and frustration they are causing everyone in the house. It has been 3 days, and I have not gotten a return phone call from the manager.

Downgrading the DSL was a series of dropped calls, and lost hours on hold. Finally, LaToya, [protected], credited our account for the problems in August, then lost me during a transfer to downgrade service. Linda, C528927, downgraded our service, credited 5 dollars for August, and gave us 5 dollars off a month for a year. She was wonderful. While I was on hold to get the downgrade done immediately, I hung-up after 30 minutes, and called back.

Upon calling back, I got a technician that asked me if I wanted to downgrade my service, after I explained it was already downgraded. He then asked me if I had paid on the account, and how much. The bill is not due for 2 more weeks! I told him I will pay it when the service works. He transferred me to another woman that couldn������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½t understand why a technician would ask about my bill. She also confirmed what Linda did, and attempted to transfer me again. Again, I hung-up after 30 minutes on hold, and expected the service to be working in 24 hours.

It has been over 24 hours, and the service is slow and unsteady. The internet connection keeps getting lost. An attempt to contact someone through online chat ended in another dropped signal, after a long wait, of course.

I was not able to ask about the closer coupon we are not in the system for, the rebate Jessica said we would get. Nor has anyone else in the course of customer service and transferring been able to help.

It has been only a month and 10 days. I have been on the phone with AT&T for almost a full month.

And that brings me to now.

I thought I hated Comcast, until I signed up for AT&T.

I want to know why my DISH bill is 112.24.

I want the DSL rebate we were told we were going to get.

I want good internet that works all the time.

I want to know why it has taken a month and a half to get these services to work, and why I cannot get any one person on the phone that can answer these simple questions.

I want an apology from J, for all the trouble she has caused me, and an apology from her manager for not returning my call.

As soon as we get internet service, this email will be sent to AT&T customer service, the Berwyn, Illinois AT&T office, the Better Business Bureau, Complaints.com, all my friends and family, and everyone and anyone else I can think of.

On 4/15/08, I moved my office from one city in California to a location in another city. To accommodate the move I made the following calls to AT&T.

9/02/08 04:47pm duration of call 00:26:08 number called [protected]

The duration of calls made to AT&T were for a total of 5 hours 27 minutes and 21 seconds not counting any calls to AT&T made from my cell phone or home phone.

On 4/18/08, I requested that my business number go to another carrier. The transfer did not take place until 5/03/08. On 7/03, I requested static IP address at my new address to accommodate my server to move from my old address DSL line to my new address on a DSL line. By 07/11/08 (after 3 hours 3 minutes and 24 seconds on the phone) with AT&T, I realized that they were not going to provide me with a static IP address. I told them I was going to seek the services of an alternative company. On 7/14/08, I acquired the services of another company and informed AT&T. On 7/16/08, my server was in place with my new static IP address provided by an alternate company. On 7/24/08 I called AT&T to confirm that I was not on there service and I would never be on there service again. During this period �customer service� informed me on at least five occasions that only a supervisor could resolve my issues and none were available to speak to me but would call me within two days. No supervisor ever called and has not called to date. I, to the best of my ability, informed the customer service personnel that were willing to talk to me that my telephone service is from an alternative company and not from AT&T. To date AT&T is still harassing me with the claim that I have service with them.

I have contacted the California Public Utilities commission, KCRA - Call3, and posted my concerns on the following internet blogs to attempt to resolve the issue: http://www.pissedconsumer.com,

https://post.complaints.com.

To date the issue is still unresolved.

Today I have had 2 phone calls soliciting additional services. (I have AT&T so I know they can contact us even though we are on the DO NOT CALL Registry.) In the last 6 days, we have had 15, yes - 15 phone calls from this number! I have repeatedly asked them NOT to call me again, yet we are continually called!

ATT DSL Service sucks - they do not care about helping their customers

I had a problem with my DSL Internet connection - they put in touch with a tech support guy - he did some tests and said he'd call back in ten mins - NEVER did - left me without internet for about 5 hours - I call back and ask about it - they transfer me to a different dept that is closed !

then I find it is actually the DSL filter they sold me that is defective...then they lowered my DSL speed to accmodate the faulty filter and never told me I was on a lower speed...no tech person ever called me back...then they want to charge me additional $10 for a new filter...Then when I tried to cancel the order for the overpriced filter - I was NOT allowed to - Josh told me NO orders can be cancelled...

Stay away from AT&T..use any other internet or phone option that is available in your area...

...2x they quoted me pricing for my service at $58 a month...2x they tried to charge me $79 for that same service !

I am at my wits end with AT&T. If It wouldnt cost me so much for another phone with another company I would boycot them.

On Dec 7th, I purchased a pantech impact cellphone. I paid almost 400 dollars for it. After I took it home and started to enjoy my new investment, I noticed it wasnt letting me pick a ringtone and change it. After putting it off a couple weeks, but still within my 30 day warranty, I went back to the dealer where I purchased it.

With alot of calling the tech support and replacing the battery and such, they determined the phone was defected. The store didnt have one so they said they would pick one up and call me within a few days. They never called, I called them after 4 days and the guy i had done previous business with said he would have his manager call me about the phone. He never called. Yesterday on fri, I went back to the store to get my new phone. The salesman, for one wasnt all that friendly, but he pulled out the new phone and proceeded to take the battery and my sim card out and put it in the new one. He noticed that my little white strip by the battery was pink, meaning some kind of water damage.

He then said because the water damage policy supercedes anything else, they could no longer replace my phone.

I think this is a little unfair. I was promised a new phone BEFORE it got water damage. If that stupid little strip wasnt so close the edge of the back cover, it probably wouldnt have been pink. One drop gets in there and it changes color. It doesnt mean the phone is damaged.

So now, I have a 400 dollar phone that I cant set ringtones to AND a phone with water damage.

I did call them at 611 and talked to a rep, but he was useless and just said that if thats what they told me at the store then thats the policy.

I dont think its unreasonable to keep your customers happy.

THIS MESSAGE WAS EMAILED TO AT&T CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 1/21/10 10:30 AM - AND I SENT OUT 2 LETTERS - NO RESPONSE AS OF YET

To whom it may concern,
I am very unhappy with the service received on the phone. I have repeatedly tried to order a new box and continue to get very bad service.
1/12/10 I called to report a problem of an existing box showing green color; phone operator named ANA from Philippines - continued to try to trouble shoot by sending me up and down the stairs pulling wires and etc... I finally stated to ANA to please send me a tech to my home; made an appt for 1/14/10 for service/tech to my home and I ordered a new box; ANA stated that the service/tech guy would have a new box and he could install it( total phone time :32 min). 1/14/10 came and nobody showed up. called again on 1/14/10; person on phone stated that original person from Philippines named ANA did not input it correctly and stated that she will input it correctly this time. Got another appt for 1/16/10 for tech service and a new box install for 1/20/10 (total call time :22 min). 1/16/10 tech came to my house and corrected the faulty cable/ replaced the cable. 1/17/10 received a random phone call from ANA Philippines @ approx 2030-ANA was at a high level of anxiety and asked if everything was OK? I told her yes. 1/19/10 I received a phone call from ATT stating that someone was at my house to install a new box?. I called again 1/20/10 @ 0800. Talked to a ANA from the Philippines; I told her if I could please talk to a supervisor; she transferred me to a person who said he was John a supervisor/ Philippines; I told john the trouble I have been having; he was very flat and sounded unconcerned with my ATT issues; he stated that he would get someone out to me asap no later than 4pm 1/20/10; I said thank you and asked him if he could call me back to confirm-he sated yes; he also gave me a case #(total call time :26 min); 1/20/10 4pm came and I called again to follow up; on hold for :35 min no one answered the ATT phone line. 1/21/10 called again, spoke to Tyrone USA operator; told him my ATT issues; he confirmed my new appt of 1/24/10 8AM to 12noon; after I confirmed with Tyrone I asked if I could speak to someone to file a complaint on my service up to this date; at that time he put me on hold and call was lost; called again on hold for :15 min, I hung up the phone; accesses online chat service and told them of my troubles-they gave me this email site ( total time on phone 1/21/10 is 1:22) SUMMARY: I am a Registered Nurse and I use a day planner at all times; I have all these notes related to ATT in my day planner and I keep a tight schedule/ I have to in order to function safely as a Registered Nurse; therefore I know exactly when I was to receive service etc… I am very unhappy with ATT; I have repeatedly been provided very sloppy/poor service - (with the exception of Tyrone) I have been a customer for approx 3 + yrs; I pay my bill on time every month; I feel I do not deserve this type of treatment. All I need is a new box in a new room? I don't think it is too much to ask; I am paying $55.00 + $7.00 for this new box...I am a paying customer, why is it so hard for simple service to get to me? Why can't I get through to anyone on the phone? Why doesn't anyone know what's going on? why can't I get proper service after approx 3:00 + hrs on the phone +:21 min chat + 1:30 min of this email and 2 letterS sent - I communicate civilly and with respect/ using my cell phone-who is going to pay for the minutes used on my cell phone? I feel that I should be refunded all/given some incentive $$ to continue my service with ATT; why hasn't a supervisor called me back? Why can't I get through to a real complaint dept? Why hasn't a supervisor called me back after Tyrone phone call? I AM VERY DISATISFIED! CAN SOMEONE CONTACT ME? I feel that ATT does not want me as a customer.

I was the contact person for problems with neighbors phone. I missed the first service call as I was gone for 2 hours. I rescheduled and was promised a tech would visit the next the next two days. They did not show up. I rescheduled for the next two days. They did not show up. All AT&T puts money into is sales. It seems when you have a problem (most likely was a previous installer caused) you seem to be on your own.

AT&T service is poor at best.

AT&T costly replacement of defective dvr

Our DVR, supplied by AT&T U-Verse died last night. We lost 30 hours of recorded programming. This happened also in May 2011, and AT&T U-Verse sent a repairman the next day to provide us with a new dvr. This time, however, we were told that it would cost $149 for a repairman to come to our house or we could wait at a minimum of 3 days for them to ship us a new dvr. We would also have the responsibility of shipping back the defective dvr. We were told that this is their new "process".

We do not think this "process" is fair to the consumer.

AT&T commercial content

i am so tired of watching the commercial of the kids in the classroom and you have a smart-elec girl belittling a cable worker. this is NOT the type of behavior that i want my 9 year old daughter to emmulate. this country is full of children who show lack of respect for adults and this commercial drives it home as okay. i am so aggravated by this commercial that when my contract is up with you after 7 years i am changing companies that support good family values, which i don't believe yours does.

I can NOT stand the damn commercials with the children around the table. Every single person I have encountered during this commercial or I have happened to discuss this commercial with is in complete agreement that not only is it borderline unbearable but it is in fact making each and every one of us completely turned off from AT&T entirely. PLEASE make it stop!

AT&T sales practices

During a call to AT&T on another matter, I was coerced by sales to intall AT&T Uverse. Upon receipt, I found the claims as to ease of installation and usability was grossly exaggerated. Research revealed that to obtain the level of service promised, I would need to upgrade at several times the monthly cost. I called to cancel and immediately returned the equipment in the packaging provided by AT&T. Months later, I was billed $170! I did not use the equipment, did not use AT&T's service whatsoever. When I called AT&T to complain, I was transferred three times; required to repeat myself each time although I pleaded that I was at work and therefore causing stress. AT&T staff, and all of them, had that "tone" -- they were doing ME a favor. I had to call the president's office and provide additional information the following day. Again encountering the same insolent tone. Warning. This appears to be a maneuver to lure its customers. It is extremely cumbersome to CANCEL this service. Even though I had not used it, AT&T required much effort on my part to resolve the matter. AT&T has serious inter-department communications problems and hires staff that is rough in manner; lacking in resolution skills. I direct this to the president of AT&T; stop this nonsense. I've been your customer for years. I'm out of contract presently, although still a customer for my IPhone.

I to have expereinced a problem with AT&T U-Verse, I tried to move my already existing service from one state to another because AT&T is a nationwide company and it states on the billing statement that you can move your service. Well that is far from true. They gave me some run around excuse about the existing service and why it could not be moved. On top of it all they stood to profit one way or the other to my loss, either I pay the early out fees to get out of the contract that was for 12 months even though all I wanted was to transfer service and to have their service I would have to start all over lengthening the time with them so they gain to my financial loss. You pay because you want to keep your credit right and you still loose when you can't even receive service that you pay for, yes they rip off people. But this stops here I will not patronage them for any of their services and I will not give positive feedback to anyone I can share this experience with. We should form a class action lawsuit against them that is what I think. I don't know why they are not regulated and some official governmental or judicial body does something about these kind of companys, I think it has to come about through consumers/citizens to let these large corporations know that we don't like how they operate with their tactics.

AT&T billed for an computer error

This letter is in regards to a recent phone call I received from your company inquiring payment to resolve an outstanding bill which is still apparently in collection for AT&T Phone Company. I thought I already resolved this dispute a year ago with “Franklin Collection Service”, under FCSI Case # [protected]. / Client account # [protected], and with your company under Confirmation # A3E313D.

My argument is that I’m a victim of a computer error by AT&T. In August 2011, I enter into a contract with AT&T for a home phone and internet service. Installation was supposed to take place on a Monday, but for some reason a technician from AT&T showed up on a Sunday while I was away. The technician connected service that same day outside of my residence without my presence. The end result of that installation, the technician disconnected my home phone number of [protected]) and reassigned me a new home phone number of [protected]). Reassigning me a new home number was a mistake on AT&T behalf. They were never supposed to change my phone number. I was supposed to keep my original home phone number through service from them. So, upon my return, I discovered what took place by AT&T’s technician, and was very dissatisfied. I called AT&T that same day and file a complaint. I disputed the removal of my original home phone number. As a result, my old phone number was still available and two days later AT&T reinstalled the original home phone of [protected] back to my residence under my contract/account with them. This service of removing [protected] and assigning me back [protected] was accomplished through their computer system, back on their end. From that point on [protected] was the ONLY WORK/ACTIVE NUMBER for my home being used.

I terminated my contract with AT&T within the cancellation period, and paid off the remaining balance on my account with AT&T under my account number [protected]. However, AT&T continued to send a monthly bill under [protected]. I notified AT&T by phone that that number was cancel back upon the first two days of their installation through their computer on their end, and that number was never actually active on my end. The only calls made and received at my residence was through [protected], So, the number [protected]) was actually a ghost number in their computer, and it was never actually used in service on my end, therefore, I was not responsible for their computer error/mistake, and should not be responsible to pay $354.94.

AT&T fraudulent billing

We ordered U-verse; the next day our already exiting (for 40 years) phone service was turned off! We called from cell phone and inquired. AT&T said "Whoops - we messed up1", but that they would have to terminate both accounts (existing and U-verse) and re-instate, at no cost to us. Today we received an AT&T bill for monthly U-verse charges including a $180 charge for "Early Termination Fee" -- the same "termination" made by AT&T itself in order to correct it's original mistake! I just spent 30 minutes on a chat line with AT&T Troubleshooting; they checked the records of my account, agreed to reverse the charges, but said that I would have to pay the bogus charges and could expect a credit in 1 or 2 billing cycles -- this was something that the billing department required and the trouble shooters had no authority to override. This is downright fraudulent conduct, in my opinion. AT&T is forcing me to allow them to use my $180, interest free, to pay for early termination fees that AT&T has already agreed was wrongfully billed, or face late charges, etc. These monopolist criminals need to be reined in by the Attorney General of every state in the Union and by the FCC (who will do nothing, as they have long been captured by the telecommunications industry...Anybody out there having similar problems with AT&T?

AT&T worst dsl customer service and worst internet

I have faced the worst dsl customer service ever, not once but always. When I took dsl service the customer care person assisted me in selecting a plan. She guided me wrong. She told that I will be charged 14.95$ a month as I already have wireless with at&t and If i do not order a modem I will not be in any contract. They told me speed upto 6mbps but provided less than 1.5mbps. I was charged 19.95$ and when I talked to customer care they told me that you need to have a phone connection for 14.95$ price that contradicts the statement of previous customer care person. I am not bothered about 5$ but the speed was so slow that I ended the service after 2 mnths thinking that I am free to leave at&t. After a month they charged me 138.59$ as pending fee with no details. I called customer care. I was on phone for about 2 hrs and they were transferring me here and there and they were so dumb to answer any question. In the end I paid it. Now after 3 months they charged me 80$ again. Am I so free to call them again and again but I called again as I did not want to pay again without knowing what I am paying for. I was on phone again for about 1.30hr and they kept me transferring again and again. They have hired the dumbest people. Then I called after 2 days again and thank god someone told me the reason why I was charged 80$. She said it was early termination fee for internet I used to have 3months back. Wow that was a big surprise to me. I told there was no contract but she said there was. Whom to believe? The very first customer care person or this one. So I have put the case under investigation. Either they are big cheaters who lie to you to put you in a contract or the customer care representatives are uneducated, dumb people.

AccountNow ADA Discrimination Class Action Lawsuit

AccountNow debit cardA California man who is unable to effectively communicate verbally after suffering a stroke has filed a class action lawsuit against prepaid debit card company AccountNow for refusing to communicate with him by email and insisting he deal with the company over the phone.

Plaintiff Richard Halavais accuses AccountNow of a “systematic pattern of discrimination, ” unfair business practices and civil rights violations refusing to accommodate his requests by email to secure a new AccountNow card. Halavais is “unable to effectively communicate verbally” due to a stroke, the class action lawsuit says, and receives his disability checks – his only source of income – though an AccountNow prepaid card. He contacted the company to order a new card because his old one was due to expire, and explained that he could not talk on the phone due to a stroke that left him disabled and unable to effectively speak.

According to his class action lawsuit, AccountNow's refusal to accommodate his disability left Halavais without access to his disability checks and forced him to hire an attorney to help him get a new AccountNow card. When he did get the new card, he was unable to withdraw money from an ATM with his old PIN and was locked out after several failed attempts to get money. Halavais first contacted AccountNow by email on May 21, and did not resolve the issue until July. By that time he was in a rest home and unable to pay for his medicine and medical bills, the class action lawsuit says.

"On July 10, 2012 plaintiff was finally able to access the money deposited into his account, but only after numerous phone calls by Plaintiff's counsel, because Defendant refused to aid Plaintiff by e-mail, " the AccountNow class action lawsuit states.

"Throughout this entire course of events, even after the risk management department was involved and informed of the situation, Defendant did not present any alternative methods of communication by which Plaintiff could have resolved the issues with defendant."

The class action lawsuit is seeking damages for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Unruh Civil Rights Act and unfair business practices.

A copy of the AccountNow ADA Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.

The case is Richard Halavais v. AccountNow, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-1921 BEN RBB, U.S. District Court, Southern District of California.

AT&T harassment of good customers

Dear AT&T Customer Service (unknown name since you did not make this personal note personal by signing it),
Thank you for writing to us and calling us SO MANY times thanking us for being a valued customer. We have used AT&T since we moved to this home in June of 1996. We never had any intention of not using AT&T, as the service was always great.
Recently you have been sending your letter in duplicate and calling with the contents of this letter 5 or 6 times each week. We have asked you to remove our name from the calling list and each time your operators assure us that they have “now placed us on the DO NOT CALL list and we need to give the company up to 8 weeks for the letters and calls to cease.” This goes back a few years and we have decided your 8 weeks is up.
In your letter and phone calls, we are thanked for “letting you handle our communications needs and told that we need to talk with you about our qualification for a special bundle that may save us money.” Now, we have been, as I said, very happy to have you as our carrier and very happy to pay your high rates and keep things as they are. We were very comfortable being complacent since we have such busy work schedules and our phone service was problem-free. However, your letters and phone calls suggest that your appreciation of us, as customers, has been less than sincere.
Since you asked us to look into bundling, we have taken a day off work and spoken with multiple companies. Since you have alerted us to our need to save money, we have chosen to cancel our 16-year service with you and bundle all of our communications needs with our cable company. Since we have been with that company for 16 years also, and they have not harassed us with phone calls and letters, we chose them.
We would very much like to suggest to your marketing department that they reconsider the duplicate letters and multiple calls to “valued customers.” They are, in our opinion, nothing but harassment. Due to your strong, consistent urging, we have realized that you have no idea what you are doing and we will be better served by another company.
Very, very sincerely,
Your Former Customers (keeping it impersonal by example)

AT&T customer service really needs to be improved. I added two line to my account. I clearly spoke with this rep I want one black and one white iphone 5 over the phone. I was on the phone with him for hours just to order iphone 5. I do understand that iphone 5 came out 9/14 and everyone wants to get. AT&T is busy with it. But how can you confirm with me that you ready to charge me for 1 black and 1 white iphone 5 on one hand, but on the other hand, when I checked the order comfirmation email, you charged me for 2 white one! This is so ridiculous! And I called to have it corrected, but ATT told me that it is being processed in warehouse, orders cant be changed. you can request correction but not gurranteed. I just ordered yesterday, and today you told me cant be changed. Iphone 5 wont be ready to ship out until 9/21 anyway, I dont't see why it is not possible? AT&T just said they cant reach their warehouse so orders cant be changed. I just dont what to wait till I receive iphone 5 and change at the time. It would cost to much time to get the right color I wanted! I swear, if my two yeas contract ends, I would not be choosing AT&T!

AT&T bill sent to collections

Account: [protected] Jeffrey Lemke [protected]@ymail.com
Hello - Recently I received a bill for a service I did not receive totaling $249.00. This is the 1st bill I have received and it was after it was sent to collections. I tried obtaining services from AT&T for Internet but the technician who came over to set it up said the equipment in my apartment complex could not accommodate my needs. I do have a couple questions. Why would I receive a bill in the 1st place and why would this bill be sent to collections? Why did I never receive a bill aside from this one? Why would I pay for a service I did not receive? Does someone need to come over to my apartment so I can prove that I do not have Internet? The fact that something like this would affect my credit is absolutely ridiculous. I will fight this and do whatever I can to make this go away. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to go out of my way to do to prove that I should not be paying a bill to this company. As if this isn't enough ridiculous work that I shouldn't be doing, please let me know if I can do more. In the meantime, I will be writing to the Better Business Bureau about this. I cannot believe a reputable company like AT&T would bill for a service someone did not receive and other potential customers and current customers should know about this as well.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been an AT&T customer for years, and frankly I am fed up with this company. Its continuous harassing of phone calls, voicemails, and texts because I am a few days overdue have finally gotten to me. If I am one day late with my bill, I receive phone calls, voicemails, emails, and texts for what? $108… and what do I get in return? I lose service nonstop, I cannot even stream music because my internet is too slow, my phone calls get dropped nonstop, I can’t even make phone calls from my office on 28th street in NYC because the service just isn’t there, and whenever I try to use Google Maps I end up lost because the map NEVER loads (I could go on and on and on).
After years of paying these bills, never once complaining about the horrendous service, I am done. After my plan is up in February I will never return to AT&T. What appreciation is ever given to its customers nowadays? It seems that the only people that are ever recognized are the people that complain, while AT&T sits there sucks the life out of the silent people. At one point I lost my job and being a broke college student, on my own, couldn’t pay my bill, you shut off my phone. I called and pleaded, saying that this has never happened to me, and what did you do? Nothing, you charged me a reactivation fee when I finally could pay the amount. How about that time when I got a phone interview for a dream job, walking around near 31st street in the heart of New York City, I tried to have an introduction interview and the service dropped 7 times (one more time SEVEN) and the job never called me back...
Enough, I am done sitting here paying this ridiculous bill. It’s like paying for a 5 star dinner and getting a f*&%ing whopper jr. in return. I am ashamed to lend my phone to people because it won’t ever make call anyone.
Just thought you should know. This company is a scam.

AT&T everything

Signed up with AT&T Uverse. My service went down approximately to the day, 2 days before my 6th month. They literally refused to give me service. I called and kept scheduling service and even had it on my phone when I would call in automatically only the service guys would say that I was not scheduled for a service. Finally I had to go to StarBucks to get online to process a payroll. That did it, so I scheduled a Comcast hook-up and thus have been online ever since. Now because of AT&T scamming, they are trying to get me for cancelling pre-maturely for the 6 months. First off. AT&T is as corrupt as any terrorist can be. They have more scams and devices to steal money they do not earn from every body. DO NOT USE anything AT&T people.

A knock-on-the-door saleslady convinced my wife that we should drop Direct and go with ATT (in spite of the fact that I've had a 25 year hate relationship with the company). Give it a try, I thought. The bill was supposed to be less...ya know, don't cha know...a lot less as an introductory come-on. Well, the bill is not cheaper. No surprise there. Oh, we didn't know you wanted meat with that sandwich! And the service is still as bad as the old AT&T monopoly of 25 years ago (ya know, don't cha know, the one that said, we may be the only telephone company in town but we don't act like it?). Play back of recorded programs on their DVR is jumpy at best and downright frozen at worst. DON'T sign up with these clowns. They still don't have this technology thing figured out...but they do know how to maximize a bill!

AT&T invalid payments

I had made a mistake this month with my payments. I had sent out a check on a monday for payment. Two days later, I received a call that my account was past due. Having forgotten that I mailed a payment I hastily made a payment with my debit card. When I went online that night to check my balance, I saw that I had double paid. I called them back and explained the situation. After 3 days and 6 representatives, I was finally issued a refund. Now, after everything was resolved, at&t has charged my bank account again for the same amount. The kicker is that the amount was not applied to my at&t account! So now that I am disputing it with them, they just keep going on and on about what was applied to my account.

I used to work for a cell phone company and I know that all companies have a department specifically for locating missing or misapplied payments. I had to tell four representatives and three supervisors what they needed to do. Then, after all was said and done, they gave me an email of '[protected]@att.com' to email all my information to. Guess what? It didn't work! So I had to fax everything to them but now they are saying it could take a week to find the missing payment! My account is over drafted now and I am getting a headache with this company!

AT&T service outages, slow speeds

This complaint is based on long term experience, as well as recent issues.

At&t's internet service is very unreliable. Recently, we have found ourselves with only 1.1 mb/s speed, no explanation as to why. Service interruptions are also frequent and long, although service interruptions have always been present, they are getting longer and more frequent. The connection has high latency and suffers from high jitter, the quality has also deteriorated in recent months severely.

Support is horrible. The robot which greets your initial call is convoluted and useless. I have been hung-up on sharp at closing time, apparently the support technicians will not stay on the phone past hours, even to fix problems on at&t's end. Support is clueless, and runs useless tests everyone knows don't do anything. Tier 2 technicians are only available at certain times, responses are delayed by days. Tier 3 technicians come, do tests, than say there is noise on the line and that it is at&t's problem, but they can't do anything.

It's a good thing at&t has a duopoly here, i've heard good things about verizon, but they don't offer service here.

AT&T customer service lacking

U-Verse is not a provider, it is a non-provider.
Four installation dates have come and gone and no
U-Verse. Only for one of those dates was I called
about the installation not happening. After multiple calls to customer service and even a letter to the Senior Executive Vice President, Andy Geisse, my service provider remains Comcast. So my suggestion is that if your current provider is supplying good service, DON'T switch to U-Verse with the expectation of a better service provider. It just won't happen!

I have a similar experiences just a couple of days ago, u-verse ordered, took off time to wait for installation, no one showed, no call, and no e-mail to inform that AT&T was not coming. After calling customer service, they tell me that we are not eligible and the u-verse order was cancelled. I was surely not happy that they cancelled the order, but I am more upset that they did not contact me to let me know before I took off time from work.
The other frustrating thing is with customer service. Spoke to a customer service rep who passed me on to their manager to help explain what went wrong. He (Westley) was not able to provide any specifics as he was reciting from a company handbook. After pressing him to provide details, he agree to e-mail me back in 1 hour the details of when the technician supposedly came on-site to determine we were not eligible. I have yet to hear back from Westley.
The other goofy thing is that their web site, sales rep, and customer service systems all say that we are eligible for u-verse. I guess I shouldn't expect anything to improve with AT&T after 8 years since I ran into a similar problem when we upgraded our AT&T DSL. They switched us off one DSL service to upgrade us to another and then tells us that DSL was not available in our area. After sitting on the phone for hours and being bounced around we finally got it fixed. What a fiasco. What a company.

AT&T cancellation fee

First let me start off by saying that I have had my account with AT&T for almost 20 years. I don't switch for the fun of it. We wanted to get I-Phone and 1.5 years ago went and got them, and of course had to sign a contract for 2 years... but then we moved 6 months later. Because our regular phones had been working at our new home before our move, we did not even anticipate that we would have any problems with the I-Phones there... Well from day one at the new house, we had dropped calls left and right. I have called and complained all the time and keep be told we will hopefully get a tower in your area soon, just keep calling and reporting the problem. That is ridiculous... I was told two months ago just to try one more solution... to get the mini tower (Booster) and if that did not work they would waive my cancellation fee. Well here we are two months later, tower helped the Verizon Internet hub in the home but not the phones, drop calls going down the road as well. Now when I call back to cancel and get the fee waived I am told I have to pay $225 to cancel 6 months early...that they do not waive fees and could not. That they do not honor what a customer service rep says, it is not their department. And to add to the drama he also told me that he doubted that I had dropped calls at all, that I use the phones according to his records... What a joke! When I get done with this company, I will be done forever and would say that NO ONE SHOULD EVER USE THIS COMPANY! It is a shame how they will treat a 20 year customer!

AT&T slipshod service

We got Uverse installed last week, and it cut out unexpectedly Tuesday. There had been some work done by a contractor in the yard, and we called Uverse, who told us that they checked the line from their end, and we must just have a bad modem. Okay. They sent us a new modem, and it turned out that wasn't the problem. So, a tech came out this morning and told us that there was no signal coming to the house, but that he would send out a crew to patch it temporarily within several hours. In mid-afternoon, there was still no crew. I called the tech back, and he said he'd check on the status of the job. He never called back, and did not respond to a voicemail left for him. I called the main office, and they told me someone would be here by 8 pm. -- So far, I've wasted the entire day, and been given a complete run-around. I have no faith that their tech will, in fact, deliver on their promise of service today.

AT&T service keeps reverting back and shutting off without cancelling

My husband and I had uverse internet service in atlanta for 3 yrs with no issues. We recently moved to ohio and decided that we would switch the uverse account to ohio. First; however, we needed to establish a "phone number" in ohio for residence purposes, etc. , and last october, I called at&t and they "turned on " the land line.

In april when my husband finally arrived in ohio, we had the technician come in to set-up the uverse tv and internet. At that time, we were told that the "land line" was not working and he did not know why (Later the adt security guy found that it had been cut and he spliced it to work for him. The at&t technician never even looked to see what the problem with the line was and if it was in the structure. At that point in time, he left us with only one tv hooked up, internet, and no phone.

Fast forward to june 7th and be reminded that we have had one operating tv and internet only for this time. We have also been constantly billed for the non-working "land line" and the uverse service as if it all worked. My daughter and I join my husband in ohio and another at&t technician arrives to install the uverse phone line and two additional tvs. He is about 2 hrs late (From the projected time) , but he does arrive and everything seems to work when he leaves, except the wireless signal for the upstairs tv is about as weak as it could be.In fact, I get a better signal from my neighbor. His answer is that the at&t modem isn't very strong and I can either change out the modem at my own risk or add a range extender. Since i'm leaving for a few weeks, I decide to do nothing.

On june 26th, my husband comes home to find the tv only providing basic service and the phone not working. He calls and spends 2 hrs on the phone, the tv has be re-verted to a u100 service (We are supposed to have u450) and the phone has been cancelled. (At&t finally thinks they shut down the non-working land line). At&t enters an order to have it fixed after spending endless wasted time calling other departments, etc. , and they promise to contact him the next morning and let him know when it has been fixed. He does not hear from them the next day, calls and get the same speech, and then goes out of town.

He arrives back at the home on 7/13 to again find the tv reverted back to u100 and the phone still not working. He calls at&t and again after 2 hrs on the phone, the tv is back to u450 and the phone works albeit with a new phone number. On monday morning, we receive a "video" bill and email from at&t outlining our service changes. This delightful piece of news tells us that we now have u100 tv service, internet at 12 kps (It is supposed to be 18) and no home telephone.
I spend 3 hrs on the phone again with uverse customer support to find out that I cannot have the working phone line until 7/24 (An additional week without phone service) and that a technician needs to come back to the home for an additional $150 fee. I tell them that there is no way anyone needs to enter the home as nothing was ever disconnected from june 7th when it actually worked that it simply appears to be some internal issue at at&t where the order is constantly "cancelled". I then get asked whether or not I want to have uverse telephone instead of the cancelled (Now get this) land line!

This has been the most frustrating experience of my life. I have been constantly billed for no service, no one seems to no what anyone else is up to, and you cannot talk with anyone above the poor person who has to answer the calls and he or she can't really do anything anyway.

Maybe a $200 per month uverse account is piddle squat to them, but if you add that to my $700 per month wireless account - that is almost $1000 per month that will be going to a competitor tomorrow. I hope that this serves as a warning to anyone who is thinking about the uverse service - service to at&t is pretty much simply a joke and at&t is most definitely a four-letter word to me.

By the way, I can get a competitors services for a few bucks less per month and installed by this weekend. (I have that competitors service in a rental house in ny and i've never had any issues - should have known, but we were intrigued by the wireless aspect). Don't waste your time!

Since initiating service on March 21, 2011, I have yet to receive a bill to pay. Because of no bill, no payment has been made in spite of monthly phone calls to AT&T costumer service informing them of this. Each time, a customer service rep (first there was Stephanie, then additional ones sometimes exceeding 4 calls to AT&T a month) has been much less than knowledgeable. AT&T, at the end of May, shut my service off - all because payment hasn't been made because bills have not been sent. In addition and when I called needing my service turned back on, the customer service agent stated the bill at an astronomical amount not even remotely close to what it should have been. After much discussion, the bill was actually reduced by over $125. Each time and when calling, on-hold wait time exceeds 18 minutes with some times, the phone call being disconnected. In addition, I subscribe to cable TV with AT&T. Most channels volume fluctuates as you watch the particular channel and from channel to channel. I called AT&T tech support and they were unaware of that issue (which is difficult to believe). The only answer Shaneika, the tech support person, could offer is sending me a new box with the promise that all shipping of the old box would be included - surprise - it was not. I suspect that my account will be billed for shipping of the old box back and another 20 min on hold phone call next month. If this is what customer service has come to, no wonder why our economy is down the tubes. Do not subscribe to AT&T for internet and TV - it must be THE worst customer service in the industry.

I called to order 5 of the Channel Directories because the ones provided to me when I signed up for service 7 months ago were outdated. I was told they could only send me 1 even though I have 5 of the boxes in my home. The rep actually told me I would have to call back 5 times and could get 1 at a time. I called back later and had to have my request escalated to a tier 2 tech rep who couldn't help and then I was told this request had to be escalated to a manager who would call me back in a couple of days. Seems completely ridiculous to me for such a simple request.
