AT&T not correct error

I have a case open from at&t, case number kmm20136245v92353l0km. elaine dudley replied email, but it was not solved. it was not been solved since dec 22. I have tried email several times and no answer. there is a mistake on their record about our home address, so the location tracking is not working. it should be very easy to correct, but nobody take care of it. no reply from either the email ([protected]@amcustomercare. att-mail.com) or web form mail. also this web page that is provided in the email body never works http://www.wireless.att.com/supportsurvey/epoll/booth.do?controller=com.jcorporate.epoll.controller.booth&format=tiny&categoryid=2&pollid=16&state=promptvote&id=coed655t***12503745***. it always shows maintenance in progress.

the family map program showed a location completely inaccurate to where I was located. This program caused complete and total destruction of my family. There is no way to prove not being somewhere when a satellite says you were. At least not to an angry spouse. Has anyone else has heard of this being an issue? I've thought of opening up a lawsuit against AT&T regarding this and the fact that these types of programs allow paranoid or abusive family members to stalk their spouses as long as they are on the same phone plan. In order to file a law suit I need other customers to back me up as well as to file complaints regarding their issues with the program. If anyone has had an issue similar to this please post.

Hello,

The home address on file in your AT&T account does not impact location accuracy in FamilyMap.

Ask the representative that's been helping you with this case to submit a ticket to the FamilyMap help desk that includes all the relevant information about your situation (main phone number and the text of the error message you received are the most important) and we'll be able to help her troubleshoot your issue.

Thank you,

AT&T advertising dept.

My family recently switched our entire cell phone service because of the advertising department at ATT. We are disgusted at the constant "feminine male" that frequents just about every single ATT commercial these days. The object of advertising is to relate to your audience. If that was true, every man in America would wear black framed glasses and be 5'7 and 132 lbs. That is NOT the case. What ATT has done is make American men look like women and offer nothing beside sitting in a cubicle all day accomplishing nothing. I have taken this as a strong insult and I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Sincerely,

Matthew Baker

AT&T unable to speak to a person

We received a renewal notice stating that our ads would be automatically renewed unless we contacted AT&T by 12/28/09 to make changes.

I called the number for Customer Service at least 8-10 times [protected]), and each time a message would ask me to enter a number and then it would disconnect me. I finally called without getting disconnected and left several messages for a representative to call me back, but no one has contacted me.

I also submitted at least 6 requests via the website www.1800GETREAL.com/ExpressRenewal for someone to contact me, and again I haven’t heard from a representative.

When I called [protected], option 3, wait for rep to find out office is closed, option 1 gives a message that I can email to www.atlanta.customercare@dapco.bls.com which appears to be an invalid email.

My former representative no longer works for the company.

I am unable to speak to any real person at AT&T, and made every possible effort and spent hours trying to contact someone that could help us, but I am unable to cancel or make changes to my contract.

We just received a call and our boss told us to answer the phone while she was out running errands, so I said she isn't available right now can I take a message? The woman said, no what is a better time to call back? I then replied, she should be back in an hour or so, and the snarky woman said, "WHATEVER!" are you kidding me? Hey, if you don't like your job, that's fine, but don't take it out on ME just trying to do MY job. Rude. Forget any service you were trying to push because we aren't biting after that conversation. Personally I think she should get a write up or something... customer service should ALWAYS be #1!

You must send you cancellation in writing, but I am not confident it will be processed.

Last year I spoke with someone on the phone and THOUGHT I had cancelled my contract as the cost didn’t justify the business received. When collections began calling they referred me to the tiny print in my couple of year old contract stating cancellations must be in writing. Collections gave me an email address to send my cancellation letter to. I promptly sent the email with the cancellation notice, sucked it up (even though the AT&T rep didn’t advise me during the phone call to do it in writing) and have paid the bills for 2009 contract. I just received another automatic renewal notice. I forwarded a copy of the renewal notice, noting on it contract had been previously canceled and I do not want to the email I used last time. I also mailed a copy today (you only have 14 days from date of notice).

Good luck!

AT&T false charges for disconnected line

We moved and disconnected our house phone line in Sept. 2009. AT&T is still billing us for long distance access and taxes for a phone line that is disconnected. I feel like I'm being ripped off by AT&T.

Incompetent sales associates. One guy (initials G.M.) told us that we only needed a data plan for one month for our rebates. Turns out 6 were required. We tried to reconcile the charges on the first bill he gave us while we were there, and he just said that he didn't understand the "Other Charges" line, and we should take it up with him if it showed up on the next bill and he would then remove it. It did show up, and we were then informed, by G.M. again, a month later that it was because we needed a data plan for both our new phones AND that we needed it for 6 months. So we will have to pay an extra $240 at due to his misinformation.

Moreover, none of the guys there understand the differnce between kBs & Mbits and presume to argue when they don't understand. And, one (initials D.F.) gave a completely wrong explanation to me on fiber-optic advantages (I'm an engineer that builds fiber lasers for a living). I feel sorry for anyone who believes his nonsense.

Lesson learned: buy online (from someone else); everything is in writing that way.

AT&T terrible service

This is a follow-up of my previous post. After spending over FIVE hours on the phone with AT&T on three different days, after having been disconnected three times during my hold-time, and after having been lied to and promised false promises, I will now look for another phone company. AT&T caused a disruption of my service, and they seem to care little that I lost work time on the phone with them, and they now tell me they cannot rebundle my services and restore my account.

Does the AT&T CEO ever go home and say "Today we made customers happy?"

AT&T unauthorized billing

Green Initiatives LLC through Payment One placed a fee of $ 49.99 on my company AT&T phone bill. Rep from Green Initiatives stated that an employee authorized the billing. This employee is a young person answering the phone and does not have permission to authorize charges. It was canceled but they refused to credit my phone bill. After more than an hour on hold between Green Initiatives and AT&T, a credit was approved; however, Green Initiatives threaten to "pursue action against" us. Go ahead...bring it ON! So so sad that a company has to resort to thievery instead of reputable business practices!

I just got off the phone with ATT whose rep called the 'Green Certicication' number which connected us to "Payment One." They fairly easily agreed to stop the payment and the ATT rep was quick enough to ask them to refund the 3 additional months that they had charged me for. Att did right by me and I thank Sharon from CT for her help.
It is remarkable that "Green Certification" supplies a number to call at all. Imagine how hard it would be without that. [Of course it might be 'payment One' that places the number.] I realise now that they didn't refund the amount of CT tax that they charged me on my ATT bill. I wonder who keeps that.

Bullsheat! GREEN MGMT TOOLS MONTHLY CHARGE showed up on my phone bill. Two charges for$49 on my monthly AT&T Bills. It was supposedly authorized by my wife for a webhost of her daycare. WTF? MY wife recalls the conversation she had with the telemarketer and told them to pound sand. This is an obvious scam. There is apparently a loophole in federal law that these mopes are exploiting. They did however agree to reverse the charges and credit my account. Ill have to wait and see if it actually happens

I just finished dealing with this bogus company (which as far as my research goes doesn't even exist). I really had to fight to explain that I am NOT a company, they pasted this phony charge on my home phone bill. I called AT&T first and they completely washed their hands and said I had to call this PaymentOne Corp to deal with it. I was very frustrated with the AT&T representative and asked if there is a way to deny any of this third-party billing to even show up on my bill. She said she would send me a form. As far as this Green Certification group, and PaymentOne Corp for that matter - I'm convinced they are a full-out scam. Payment One's automated system recognized my phone number and immediately connected me with "Green Certification" . . . how convenient! After having to interrupt her twice on her spiel about how "we" authorized the payment, I received a confirmation number and fax. We'll see if it is really completed - this scamming makes me SOOOO mad.

This Company is definatly a scam. I just spent over an hour on the phone with them telling them that I did not authorize anything and that I wanted a full refund. They tried to argue with me, and I told them that what they were doing was not acceptable, and that I was on the internet at that moment and found tons of complaints about their company. They told me they would meet me half way and refund a portion. I told them no way, I want it all back. They stole it from me and they were lucky I didn't charge them interest for using my money. The girl was speechless. Needless to say they are supposed to be crediting back my account. I will definatley make sure I go through my next bill throughly to make sure they do. They don't want to give you your money back, but with alot of persuasion it can be done. Be prepared to argue with them.

Just joined this site to add my two cents. Quick note: your employee may not have OKed the "service." I didn't, and yet...

Same thing happened to me, except I'm the one who answered the call and I told the operator/caller I wasn't interested. That didn't stop them from slapping $49.99 on my AT&T bill. I'm so accustomed to having no questions about my bill that I paid it online (click-2-3!) and then looked at what I'd just paid, knew something was very wrong, and started digging.

The company making the charge was listed as

GREENINITIATIVES, LLC ... GREEN INIT, LLC-WEBHOST/INET DIRECTORY 49.99
Total PaymentOne Corp. 49.99

I was surprised that they provided a phone number:

Questions? Call: [protected]

That said, when I called I was told they'd cancel the "service" right away (which they did) but that because I had authorized it I had to pay for the charge already billed. I told them I didn't authorize it and why (I don't need what they were offering), and I was told that if that were the case they'd cancel it. I was told, however, their records showed I had and they'd call me back with the recording of my conversation. Never heard back from them.

Called AT&T, explained the situation (my online payment had gone past the point where I could cancel/change it), and they were terrific. The operator I spoke to reversed the entire bill, then killed the $49.99, rebilled the remainder, and that's what I paid.

I wasn't completely surprised when I found GREENspank had billed me again the following month. It was clear, however, they were just resubmitting the first and only charge. I called AT&T again, again got someone very nice who removed the $49.99 from the bill, and was told it was more likely this time around that they'd send me a bill directly. We will see. If they do it will be easier to get all over their case, to be honest.

I was also told that if the same thing happened again, they'd reverse it again happily.

Wrap-up is: call AT&T, explain the situation, they will almost certainly help you. Call the bozos, tell them to cancel, and make them commit to getting you the recording of your authorization.

AT&T poor service

I read the complaint about the gentleman who was scammed regarding the gift card/rebate. The same thing happened to my wife and I, but fortunately, my wife called with one day left to go and we were able to get the $100 gift card. It's a calculated rip off. Recently, our DVR quit working. I called AT&T and scheduled for a technician to come out today between 8:00 and 12:00. It's now 4:25 and guess what? No technician. I did receive a call at 12:10 from the dispatch center telling me a technician would be here "shortly". I have called three times and the latest time was one half hour ago. I was assured that the technician would be here "shortly". I replied that I had heard that before and suggested that if he isn't here by 5:00 he can pick up all of their equipment in the trash can in front of my house. I'll be switching back to Comcast on Monday. One more thing- I filed a complaint about AT&T with the FCC about 15 minutes ago. AT&T should really think about keeping their appointments. All this time I have on my hands waiting is giving me way too much time thinking about how I can get even.

Hello. I'm a uverse tech. I agree with you. We as techs have no idea how many tickets are scheduled. EX: A customer may schedule a time between 8am-12pm. The tech may not get the repair until 2pm. We aren't given a list of customers to see for the day. When we finish one ticket we hit a button on your laptop to get another ticket. Plus AT&T are also add more ticket as the day goes. So it can be a big headache for the techs also because we never know what we are getting.

AT&T upgrade eligability

Earlier today I got off the phone with AT&T Customer service and they were not helpful whatsoever. A phone on my account had been listed as currently being eligable for an iPhone Upgrade on December 6th 2009. So, we planned to upgrade the phone as close to Christmas as possible because we did not want to disrupt the current user's cell phone usage since the iPhone must be activated on site at an Apple or AT&T store upon purchasing. This gift was suppossed to be a suprise. So, today, Decmber 19th, 2009, we went online to set everything up for upgrading the phone in question and AT&T has now pushed back the eligiblity date back to July of 2010!?!?!

We called AT&T and they were no help. Customer service became argumentative when we were trying to resolve the issue and find out what happened to the eligiblity for the upgrade on the particular phone line in question. Not only did they raise their voices, they also refused to listen to the information we had regarding the eligibility for the iPhone upgrade (we had printouts stating that we were eligible).

As a result, we are now out of luck for getting the $199 price for the 16g 3GS iPhone. Nobody at AT&T could tells us why the date was pushed back and they didn't seem to care either. All we wanted to do was get the upgrade and extend the contract on our account.

Too bad for AT&T, they get an 'F' for customer service and support. Dealing with them reminded me of dealing with collection companies back when I worked as a Credit Analyst. They were pushy, argumentative, unwilling to listen, and did not even present logical reasoning behind the answers they provided. It seemed as if they were reading from a script.

Now why did AT&T push back the date 7 months back on us for this upgrade? I don't know. Maybe AT&T doesn't want to provide customer satisfaction? Maybe they want to lose our business?

All I can say is that I am very displeased with how I was treated and how this simple Christmas Gift turned into a 2 hour ordeal over the phone without any resolution. I personally am planning to take my current account and move over to TMoblie. I will also be unlocking the iPhones we currently have on our account since Apple and AT&T are in bed with each other and won't allow the phone to be used on other networks.

With that said, congratulations AT&T on losing a customer! Happy holidays!

AT&T fraudulent billing practices; horrible custoemr service

While there are few companies anywhere that can survive while indifferently shrugging its corporate shoulders at the needs or desires of its customers, AT&T continues to find ways to grow and prosper despite leaving tidal waves of disenchantment in its wake. They give the world an awful lot to not like.

Still, indifference is one thing, but it’s quite another to embrace a corporate tactic of foisting open disdain on customers. I’ve been on the receiving end of just such a tactic.

I’ve never had the misfortune or desperation to have to engage AT&T for wireless services, but I’m in an area where there are scant few options for landline service. For years AT&T was my local telephone company, providing service that was steady, if unremarkable. For a very long time, that was good enough for me.

All of that changed in March of 2009. That was when I was talked into expanding my relationship with AT&T. That was when I discovered that after 15 years of measuring customer satisfaction for a living, I still had no idea just how spectacularly arrogant and incompetent a company could be. That was when I became aware that AT&T may very well be the antichrist of customer service.

And worse for me, that was when I discovered that not only does AT&T not give a hill of beans what anyone thinks of them; not only do they seemingly have no sense of wrong and right; but the evidence seems to suggest that what they do is very profitable for them. They are trying to lighten my pockets by over $6, 000.00, and the basis of their claim to that money is a long, long tale of failed service, contractual breaches, open lies and, in my opinion, outright fraud.

Months ago it became evident that resolving what they have done will probably entail the services of lawyers, so I began to document my experiences with them. I have posted the tale at: http://www.iqsurvey.com/blog/?cat=6 . Fair warning; it’s a long story. But, it's also a story that has left many people shaking their head in disbelief.

Many, many people have had trouble with AT&T. I wonder how many have had this much trouble.

No land line and internet service since January 15, 2018. I contacted Customer Service, the company first attempted to trouble shoot the problem over the phone but could not solve the issue and then indicated that the problem was outside of the home and they would need to send a service technician to fix the problem. The first available date given was January 30, 2018 (14 days without land line or internet service). I have called multiple times to request a more expedited service date and was told that all of their technicians are busy and there is a back log of requested service. The Customer Service person said that their back log should be cleared up in two weeks and service calls would be answered more quickly. Due to this outage, I have now exceeded my available data from my cell phone provider and am being charged $15 per overage. I have a son in college who relies on the internet to complete his work assignments and communicate with his teachers. If it were not for the fact that we have cell phones, we would be cut off from all communications. I was truly disgusted when the Customer Service rep started in on their sale's pitch about bundling service. I told him that if I had bundled my service (landline, internet, cell phone and cable) I would have no way to communicate at all. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and for AT&T to have a 14 day response time to a service call is unacceptable.

I posted this on YELP today.
This review is for AT&T landline repair. My landline has been out for a month. AT&T finally showed up today. I showed the repair person the low line in the backyard and mention the dangling wires on the telephone pole in the backyard surrounded only by a plastic bag. He said the plastic bag was "pretty standard" . He said he was going to get his ladder and test the connection to the house. 90 seconds later he knocks and tells me the problem is in my house. Guess he did not realize I could see him through my window and he did not test the line! I have made another appointment and must wait another week for another repair person to show. I guess this guy didn't want to do his job because it was raining.This guy is "pretty standard" in my experience with AT&T. Last time I needed repair I had to file an FCC report to get them to do their job. I may have to do that again. Very displeased with AT&T. I have been a customer for over 30 years. They are always willing to take my money, yet unwilling to do much for it!

Jupiter, US
Feb 04, 2011 4:25 pm EST

My issue has to do with being billed for a long distance call that was NOT made from my home. I was not home when the call initiated, however, at 81 minutes in length, I would have walked in on someone using my phone when I returned home. I suspect someone connected to the pedestal with a butt set and made the 81 minute call at my expense. AT&T not only refuses to remove the call from my bill, but on three different occasions has proceeded to transfer me, disconnect me and generally brush me off with no intention of helping me get to the bottom of the problem. Each attempt at trying to resolve the issue from asking to speak to a supervisor or the Fraud Department has taken an hour and a half of my time only to be placed on endless HOLD and eventually disconnected when they get tired of transferring me from person to person. Your description of "AT&T may very well be the antichrist of customer service" and "AT&T does not give a hill of beans what anyone thinks of them; not only do they seemingly have no sense of wrong and right; but the evidence seems to suggest that what they do is very profitable for them" is so well said, I had to copy and paste it. They have themselves so well insulated that it is virtually impossible to penetrate the Sales Dept. which is disguised as Customer Service in order to speak to anyone who will actually LISTEN to you and attempt to find a mutually agreeable solution. Their protocol seems to be "keep transferring until the customer gives up."

AT&T very unhappy with their customer service

For Christmas I took my 2 sons to Costco to the AT&T station to let them pick out their new phones. The AT&T representative sold my boys on the blackberry pearl. I requested insurance (because they were for 2 BOYS) added the extra's my boys wanted and after 1 1/2 hours later, we left the store. 1 month later my youngest son lost his phone and when I went to the AT&T store to have it replaced I was not only told that I never had insurance on the phones but these phones WERE NOT INSURABLE from the get go. I am so angry that AT&T who boasts on their website of integrity, values and treating customers with respect would misrepresent their products and then do NOTHING to help correct the situation. I am very unhappy with their customer service.

I had AT&T phones for years, and never had an issue until recently, when GPS stopped working on my phone. It's vital for me to have GPS for my job. So I took my phone to an AT&T store, and after waiting for it to open late with only one employee there I was given a run-around about my problem and no help at all. So I went to a second AT&T store, where again there was only one employee working, and she had a line of people waiting for her. I could not wait, I was working, so I left. The next day I went to yet another AT&T store, where again there was only one person working and a line of people waiting. I waited as others gave up and left, and was finally told they could not help me because of their rules on my plan. That was it.

I went to the new Verizon store half a block from my home and got a new phone, at a better rate and dumped AT&T right then and there. The Verizon store was a huge contrast to the AT&T stores, they had lots of people helping their customers and I was greeted warmly as soon as I entered, then helped in short order. I left happy with my new phone that works. I do not recommend AT&T to anyone. Their service is lousy, and they do not support their customers. If you go to their stores you will wait a very long time just to talk to the one person working there. That's just unacceptable in my book!

AT&T is the worst! Be aware of how they avoid giving you the full information when signing on. Although AT&T had a worse than others deal on minutes and data usage for subscription, I signed on as they had that big push and commercials about how they let you unlock the phone when going to Europe. I before finalize purchase at several occasions asked to confirm I can unlock the phone when travel and they said yes, and did not inform about any conditions attached to unlocking. Well as it turns out, first time I called prior to my August vacation they informed I had been in my subscription for 3 months yet therefore could it not be unlocked. Now when I 6 month into my subscription call, they inform I can only get it unlocked if I terminate my contract, with a $275 fee!
I want to make everyone aware, do NOT choose AT&T, not only are they more expensive, they are dishonest and does not fully inform you if you ask questions! I can not recommend AT&T to anyone!

AT&T crappy product and service

WOW you suck- This is my third time complaining I think - because this is much easier and less time consuming than trying to get your lethargic customer service to respond to problem(s). Your questionable product is failing for the sixth time in 18 months of service - at the worst possible moment. The skipping screen and digitizing/pixelating playback viewing makes it impossible for me or my children to enjoy THE SERVICE WE PAY YOU FOR. Let me just say - If I were interested in professional sports like some of my friends, and this were a bowl game, you could expect a freaking lawsuit right now. Nope, I have resolved to do what I can do in this situation thanks to your crappy customer help - I will not cancel service, I will not call you anymore, I will simply apply my negative energy to boards like this one and COST YOU AS MUCH POTENTIAL BUSINESS AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! You suck, your product is buggy, over-hyped, and false advertised, and THE REST OF THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW. In the unlikely event that one of your upper management CEOs is reading complaints like this - I hope your corporate jet crashes into the side of Mount Whitney for making money off of this product you [censored]. Your customer service is terrible, it is obvious you don't care and think your time is worth more than your customer's. Well I am sorry that you fell into that trap - good 'ol USA free market competition will tune your ### up soon enough. But in the mean time- -Thanks for NOTHING! Your customer service will not fix the problems with your product - it is not infrastructure HELLO! this is fiber-optic, and I have already fixed everything your ###ed installer botched during the setup. - Nope there is nothing left to do except actually send someone else out to fix it which you will apparently NOT do without wasting hours of MY TIME first. Well #$%^ you and the horse on which you rode in! Soon someone crazier than I will probably act out worse than complaining and then you will start paying attention. MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU [censored]ES, (although you wouldn't know it by our TV programming.)

AT&T outrageous international charges

I was hit with an outrageous international call charge. I was charged $10.55 per minute for a call to Afghanistan to talk to my son who is serving in the U.S. Army. The first 3 calls were not answered but I was charged $10.55 for those unanswered calls. The fourth call, he answered and we talked for a total of 20 minutes. My international charge for a total of 23 minutes was $242.65. This does not include the "FED UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND" fee, STATE and MUNINCIPAL taxes for a grand total of $290.90. This is only the international charge and does not include my normal domestic phone charges.
I feel that this is an absolute injustice and although I know that most international calls are important to those making them, the fact that families of our American soldiers can not talk to them and hear their voices and visa versa, is disgusting. My son, along with thousands of sons, daughters, husbands, wives, sisters and brothers, are being punished for being in a foreign country, fighting for OUR freedom. They need to hear familiar voices. They need to hear "I love you", instead of reading it in an email or letter. We, as parents and loved ones, need to hear our soldiers laughter, sorrow, anger or any other emotion that they want to share. It sickens me that AT&T abuses the American people by charging these ridiculous fees. It sickens me that after receiving that first 'international' bill most will not be making those calls to say "I love you".
What does it take to fight this unfair, overpriced violation? How do we as Americans and military families change this? I don't know but one thing I do know... I would love to send AT&T's upper management to the Middle East, set them down in the middle of a desert and tell them "You aren't going to talk to any of your loved ones for 1 1/2 years and by the way, your life is in constant danger and they may NEVER hear your voice again"
Those of us who can't afford these phone calls are, in a sense, being told the very same thing. I'm disgusted. I'm angry. I'm heartbroken.
I received the bill yesterday(Friday) and will be calling AT&T Monday to contest the charge. I'm sure I will get nowhere but they will definitely know my thoughts on this matter. Does anyone have any ideas how we can fight for our rights and actually be heard?

I am shocked by the level of poor customer service, and the unwillingness to stand behind advertised offers. Today, after going to the u-verse website, to see advertised promotions, they had a large screen devoted to the current special of $400 back when ordering the triple bundle. After putting all of the required items in my cart to receive the $400 back, I clicked on the link that says "what promotions would my order be eligible for", and it continually said only $300 back. After trying this several times, I decided to do an online Chat/Customer Service support. I was first told that the offer expired. I said no, it says under offer details that the deal runs from 2/7-2/10, 2010. Then he said simply that internet deals are subject to change.

Now, from what I can see, this is bait and switch, which I thought was illegal. He said they would change the main website to reflect these changes, but as of 2 hours later, it still says $400 back. For the unassuming who placed the order thinking that they were going to get the advertised $400, they have a surprise coming.

The customer representative provided no help, and clearly didn't care if I decided to become a customer or not. I hate Time Warner, but I will choose a known devil over this mess. This indicates to me that they are dishonest, unhelpful, and not worth doing business with.

I have screen captures of these great 'deals', along with my chat log, which I will be sending to all the relevant parties. I am disgusted, and will be canceling my phone and internet, that I currently carry through AT&T.

Buyer Beware is an understatement.

AT&T horrible service

I signed up for AT&T high speed internet at an AT&T retail store. They scheduled set up for 12/9/2009. On 12/11/2009, I still couldn't set up the "self-installed" service, so I called their tech support. After walking me through all of the steps to set up (which I had already done), he looked up that they hadn't turned on the service yet. They said the earliest they could set it up was 12/15/09. I told them it was their mistake and I needed it set up right away. they said there was nothing they could do. I asked them to cancel installation. From that point, I was transfered to several different departments, was hung up on twice, was transfered to the main menu once. After sitting on hold for approximately an hour, the 8th person (literally) that I spoke to was finally able to cancel my service. I will never use any AT&T service and I will share my experience with my friends. Horrible, horrible company.

AT&T is horrible, I ordered phone service for my parents who live at the dead end of a VERY dark road, My father woks out of town alot, leaving my mother home alone. I ordered this service on Friday October the 17th, service was sopposed to be connected on Saturday (but of course it was not) so of course I called. The automated answering service led me on a run around and I could not even get connected to the repair line that is supposed to be 24/7.Monday at 5:00PM FINALLY a dial tone, by 6:00 PM silence, so I called again. 7:00PM service again. Tuesday morning my mother calls me and has to yell over the humming on the line, so you can guess it I CALLED.At noon on tuesday AT&T said that the gates were locked and they could not gain access, now here's the kicker my parents don't have gates. So after 3 hours on the phone and countless rude reps telling me that my DEPOSIT was non refundable, My parents now have a cell phone (not with AT&T) and my deposit is in the mail, we'll see how long that takes to get to me. I strongly urge anyone wanting home phone service to stear clear of AT&T, and if you have them GOOD LUCK.

AT&T customer service

AT&T is apparently striving to play semantics with their customers. My employer provided me a blackberry not long after I renewed my contract. In May 2009, I spoke with Thomas in customer service about cancelling my contract. He informed me that I could pay a $150 cancellation fee, or that if I wait until "November" that there would be no fee. In the meantime, he would give me a $30 credit, and I could try to have someone take over my phone. In December 2009, I called back, having found no one who wanted to have service with AT&T. I am told that my contract isn't up until Novemebr 2010! Dan, the supervisor tells me that Thomas did nothing wrong - he told me my contract would be up in November and that is true. That Thomas omitted the 2010 part means that he did not mislead me. So, AT&T got a couple of hundred extra bucks out of me because they believe it is okay to omit key information and pull the wool over their customers eyes. I was a Pac Bell customer, who then got switched to Cigular, who then became AT&T. I was with them for more than 10 years. After this, I WILL NEVER GO BACK. The lesson to any AT&T customer. Don't take their word for it. Get every specific, because they with withhold information to trick you.

AbusedByAT&T
Harrisburg, US

I don't pretend to think that I am some big-shot they are likely to listen to (in fact, I have plenty of evidence to the contrary), but I am running out of reasons for why any company would do so much that was so wrong to a customer.

My wife and I became AT&T wireless customers in 1995, sharing a single cell phone while struggling to start a family. When we could afford it, we expanded to three lines. Throughout, we used the cheap phones that came with the plan, even paying for insurance on them (how insane is that) because the sales rep advised us to report our phone missing whenever we wanted a new one. We never did this because I don't believe in lying, but eventually we got some second-hand phones that were slightly more up-to-date (and canceled the insurance).

Earlier this year, we decided it was time to upgrade again. Our previous contract had ended several months ago, and there were clearly better options now. Looking online, we found what looked like a good fit: 1400 minutes, four phones, $110/month. The catch? It was only for new customers. Being a faithful customer for 10+ years was actually being held against us, as the upgrade prices were all much higher.

Visits to AT&T stores did nothing to improve the situation; if we wanted a new contract, we were going to pay for the phones where others would not. Remarkable, right? We also had trouble finding a simple clamshell model with dial-by-touch buttons. The one that looked like the best match was only available online.

So I called one of the Internet companies (currently being front-ended by New Egg, which is otherwise a great company) and asked to cancel my existing AT&T account and start a new one. However the rep convinced me that everything would work better if we upgraded two of our lines first, then upgraded the remaining line and added the forth in a second order a week later. Bizarre, but straight logic clearly has little to do with cell phone sales.

Within hours I received an email telling me there was a problem, and I needed to call to fix it before the order could be processed. “This is a tertiary line, ” I was told. I would have to buy the phone outright for $160 more for the line we have had the longest. I said no: we have three lines, so change the other one. Fine, no problem, done and done.

The phones arrived a few days later, and my wife hated them. We went through the list of what was available again, but it was the best we could get in a simple clamshell. Reluctantly, we decided to keep the phones.

I did two things next: I ordered the upgrade and new line to finish the process, and I reported that the USB cables I had been promised were missing from our first order. Predictably, we received another email requiring another call: “This is a tertiary line, ” I was told again. The connection was bad, so I said I would call back.

In the meantime, I received an email regarding my missing cables: they would not send them, and any further discussion had to be held through their web chat client. Huh?

I opened up a chat session, and they apologized endlessly for my confusion, but absolutely refused to review the audio from my order to determine what I had been told. Regardless of what I had been promised, they considered the order complete.

What was being delivered was increasingly short of what had been promised, and this was the final straw. I canceled the orders, returned the phones, and began searching urgently for alternatives with my wife (AT&T had shut off all of our phones at this point, and never re-enabled them).

She found an identical offer from Verizon, and when we went to the mall a very nice man gladly listened to our tale of woe, and set up a new account for us with Verizon: same price, same coverage, better (and yet less expensive) phones. When he didn't have enough of the phone we wanted, he drove to another store and got us one.

To transfer the one phone number we were interested in keeping (which would also earn us $50 off), I had to get my account number from the nearby AT&T store. I took my place in line and waited, only to be told that they were really busy and I should come back another time. I said no, I simply needed my account number because I had been through a week of hell trying to upgrade my account and was no longer going to be an AT&T customer. The employee dialed a number, handed me the receiver, and walked away. Quite a contrast from Verizon, yes?

A few days later, I called AT&T to cancel my account, but they refused: I had to contact the vendor -- who it turned out had failed to cancel my upgrade. Then I had to wait several days before calling back again. On my next call, I was told to call back again as the cancellation department was unavailable (I later learned this is untrue – they could have canceled my lines themselves).

I called back the next day, saying I unconditionally wanted my account canceled. Suddenly, I was now being offered free phones and free minutes; I refused (I already had a Verizon account, and clearly had no reason to extend this abuse). I also asked *more than once* if there would be any further charges. No, I was told, your account is paid a month ahead. And no, I was told, AT&T will not return the unused portion of your payment. I actually thought the nightmare of being an AT&T mobile customer was over.

Weeks later, my wife reluctantly showed me a bill from AT&T for $150. Another call, and more excuses. First I was told that I still had two lines remaining, and that only a single line had been canceled. Next up, the cancellation rep started arguing with me right out of the gate, saying we had used over 1000 minutes (which does not appear on the bill) and refused to listen to me or put me in touch with a supervisor until I resorted to only replying to her with the word “Manager.”

I briefly explained the situation to the manager, and was told how they would gladly not take my money, if only I had canceled sooner. It did not matter that they had refused to cancel it twice, and then failed to cancel it again: I was to pay them $150 for service for phones that did not work. When I pointed this out, the manager offered to help me reactivate the phones, even though I had asked several times again to have the lines turned off.

Eventually, I was told that “if I wanted” they would cancel the lines immediately instead of just flagging them as needing to be canceled. Wasn't that what I had asked for EVERY TIME? I must be incredibly stupid, because I still cannot understand how, if (starting at the end of August but finally succeeding in the beginning of September) I request that my phones be canceled, and my account is paid a month ahead, and I am SPECIFICALLY told I do not owe anything, why is AT&T insisting that I pay them more money?

Is there anyone at AT&T that actually speaks the truth? I do not believe so, because every time I made a point, the reasons subtly changed -- dates shifted, rules bent. Anything to ensure I was wrong.

AT&T should be ashamed. They converted a steady source of income into someone who NEVER wants to see anyone spend another dime with them. Bland apologies and endless excuses simply don't stand up when they are failing to cancel my account and charging me for it. Imagine a place full of people operating a machine that abuses others, always apologizing but never stopping. All they can offer is a return to the abuse, and they genuinely expect me to get back on the machine, offering me minutes for phones that don't work and trying to enable phones that were already replaced. How can they even be surprised?

The sad truth is, AT&T doesn't like honest customers who just make and receive calls with simple clamshell phones. They like people who text, and browse, and blog, and share pictures – because they love charging exorbitant amounts for those things. What they don't love, clearly, is me. And after weeks

AT&T horrible for high speed internet

At&t is horrible for hi-speed internet. I have to say the actual internet part works but in terms of the customer service and what they offer, forget it. I went with at&t hi-speed because there was a deal going on making it cheaper than comcast. At&t screwed up in getting me service so it took about a month before I actually had an account. Once I got the account, they billed me 54.99 instead of 24.99. After calling at&t about a dozen times, talked to at least three dozen people, I went back to the at&t store in plainfield, il cussing and swearing at their manager and store reps. I went in there not only for the billing and customer service issues at at&t but also because their $50.00 debit card rebate for my cell phone rejected in the local wal-mart. I was not only furious, I was embarrassed in a wal-mart due to a card rejection. I told them if I had to come back, I was going to throw their modem straight through the front window and cause a huge scene in front of all of their customers telling them what god awful service they have. They said they would handle it. A month goes by and now at&t says I owe them over $100 when I just received an invoice from them for a credit of $1.00. No one at at&t can figure out what's going on and they all just keep passing me to someone else to get rid of me. I am one mad consumer and I will admit that looking at lowest price did not help me in the long run. If you want hi-speed internet, look elsewhere, you do not want these types of problems!

I made the mistake of ordering AT&T DSL service. I never even completed the installation process before it wiped out my entire computer system-all documents, pics were gone, and my computer was frozen! A tech person was sent out, but he had no clue what to do, so he calls another tech on the phone who claimed that HE was frustrated -what about me? After 30 min. or so, they basically tell me to get a new computer! I was furious. Luckily I was able to fix the problem on my own-no thanks to them. I'm sending this crap back ASAP and I'll stick with dial up service. So buyer beware. The service here sucks, and if you have a technical problem, you're on your own.

AT&T internet pay per click program

I signed up for AT&T Real Advertising and agreed to pay $270 per month for online clicks (60). in Ann Arbor, MI. I ask the sales rep a simple question, will my allowable clicks per month be in the Ann Arbor, Detroit area, NOT in some other part of the country. His answer, Yes. Plain and simple. Well, that's not true. I get maybe 3-4 clicks from the Ann Arbor, Detroit area and rest come from other parts of the country, which I do not service or want to service. Basically, I was told that because it's internet based there is nothing that they could do about it and I needed to pay my bill. What a complete scam. They don't care, and I can't afford a lawyer to fight them, so I'm stuck with this useless advertising program, that has yielded me $0.

Thanks AT&T you guys are wonderful

I am sorry that you are not happy with yellow pages. It seems that they like to screw all business over and over. I was looking online and found a cool website that your business can have a FREE ebillboard. Just go to seekshallfind.com. I was talking to my friend Mike and he has a ebillboard and he is happy with his ebillboard.

Our company signed a contract with AT & T Real Yellow Pages advertising for phone book ad. Contract was for $186/mo. Our monthly bill turned out to be $293/mo. When I called to inquire I find out someone from AT & T has called our business, got a part-time mechanic to "agree" to the ad and monthly fee, then signed the owners name per phone conversation. I requested a copy of their forged contract over 10 times and a copy of the phone conversation, which I have still never received. They call and harrass me every day for $900 past due (they actually owe me $326) and are threatening (blackmailing) to pull us from the Yellow Pages all together, which accounts for about 50% of our business, and put us on the Dun & Bradstreet bad credit report. I am interested in filing a class-action lawsuit against AT & T.

Never signed up, but they do have our 800 number as a result of requesting a free listing. I receive multiple daily calls (2-3 a day) from AT&T Advertising, on a wireless and 800 number (thus getting charged twice for each call) which is an order line for the business. They have not removed our number from their call list as requested. I put a complaint through with the FCC online each day with their calls, still no result.

AT&T yellowpages.com

I have written and telephoned monthly in an effort to get my advertising on Yellowpages.com stopped since 9/08 and they continue to bill me and try to threaten me. I finally stopped paying their charges because no amount of communication with them can stop this unauthorized advertising. I have spoken to over 10 people at AT&T and sent one and possibly two letters to Pleasanton CA. and there is just no stopping them. Now I am in collections, getting letters informing me that they can turn this over to a credit bureau. They do exactly as they please and no amount of talk or quitting will help. It has been two years since I agreed to a contract. I was told by one rep that they can bill me because "I am still getting the exposure." Now that is completely corrupt.

BECAUSE I HAVE. YOU KNOW THAT AS MANY OF US WHO CAN REPORT THEM, THEY CAN BE REPORTED AND SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, HERE IS THE WEBSITE AND WHAT YOU DO IS FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM, PLUS THEY GIVE YOU A CASE NUMBER AND PUT YOU'RE COMPLAINT IN THE CONSUMER SENTINEL, WHICH IS AN ONLINE DATABASE IN WHICH LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SHARE, YOU SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE I HAVE. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION OR FTC WILL SHUT THEM DOWN AND INVESTIGATE THEM, FINE THEM OR EVEN JAIL THEM. YOU CAN ALSO DO A YAHOO SEARCH AND LOOK UP CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU, FILL OUT AN ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM, THEY HAVE A CASE NUMBER THEY WILL GIVE YOU AND YOU CAN CALL THEM AND FIND OUT AND UPDATE YOU'RE COMPLAINTS. ANYTHING WORK RELATED, FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

I'm' in a similar suituation with AT&T Advertising Solutions. Mid-way through my contrant they changed the terms. I had no choice but to follow these terms and wasn't given an opportunity to opt-out (this is stated in the contract so I was sadly had no choice). I ended up closing my business and called to cancel my contract for early termination. I was told this was not possible and that my contract expired in November of 2010. I waited till it expired and dealt with being forced to pay for advertising I did not want nor get any gain from.

I recieved a bill after my contract was expired. I called customer service - they told me sometimes it takes a a few months for my information to get out of the system and to ignore the bill. I did.

I received another bill in the mail a few months later and ignored this too. I also started receiving calls via my advertising number (which was expired) and I ignored these as well. I received a past due notice in the mail saying I had to pay. I therefore called customer service today, June 6 2011, explained the past due notice only to find out my contract had been renewed! I did NOT give verbal, written or email consent to renew my contract. I also received a cancelation packet in the mail that noted my contract was NOT being renewed in Dec. 2010. I also received an email confirmation my contract was NOT being renewed during this time. I also received verbal confirmation my contract was NOT being renewed during this time via customer service.

This is fraud AND harassment!
I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau - I'm not sure if this will help. But I want as many people as possible to know this is a scan and complete fraud and harassment.

If there is class action suit I'd like to be a part of it. Or if someone knows how to make this stop - please share. I'm expecting a call back today to resolve this - and it better end today!

Any suggestions would be helpful- March 16, 2011

I was visited by an account representative of AT&T Yellow pages.com back in September of 2010. I was adamant about not signing up for a pay per click campaign. I needed a comprehensive search engine optimization campaign for my company. AT&T Yellow page.com assured me that this was an SEO/SEM campaign and guaranteed that I would see nearly 35% increase in traffic to my website. I was informed they would automatically withdrawal approximately $1600/monthly from my account. In return for this rate, AT&T Yellowpages.com would create a clone of my website and launch a comprehensive SEO campaign. In order to do just this, I was informed by the sales representative that a website technician would phone me in a few days collecting comprehensive data for keywords in order to best feature exactly what we do as a company on the search engines they will utilize.
In short, the clone site was launched live without any phone interview with me-therefore, no keywords were collected. I repeatedly attempted to reach my sales representative to no avail. My next course of action was to contact the customer resolutions department in hopes to simply dissolve our agreement. My reason in wishing for our agreement to end was I found that I was working way too hard for something of which I had paid someone else to execute. I questioned as to why I was having to make certain the correct keywords were listed and why I was having such difficulty in connecting with the person that was overseeing my account, i.e., my account representative. After many discussions with the customer resolutions person, he explained that someone from AT&T Yellowpages.com would be contacting me since he did not have the authority to dissolve our relationship. October passed, November came...the next person representing this account was a Telecheck representative inquiring as to why I haven't honored the $1600.00 payment.

After submitting a letter to Telecheck, I stopped all future payments to AT&T Yellowpages.com. I did NOT receive what I thought that I had purchased; a comprehensive SEO/SEM campaign catered to my specific company with an account representative to assist with modifications and additional needs. What I received was dismay, aggravation, and disgust all with a hefty price tag.

February 2011-Collections contacts me for a second time, I again reiterate the situation and my frustrations. I explain that I have made numerous attempts to simply dissolve our relationship due to not receiving delivery on what I had initially purchased. I explained the numerous phone calls made to resolve our situation and how I continuously came up empty handed. I explained that I was the client and yet there has been absolutely no attempt to assist me the client and my needs but every attempt to withdrawal money from my account regardless of my level of satisfaction.

Collections gave me the name and number of the General Sales Manager for our demographics. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts in contacting him, I used another number that would not have my caller ID listed; miraculously he answered.

March 1, 2011, We set an appointment for him to visit me in our office/home office to discuss the situation. March 3, 2011, he came with the sales representative that sold us the advertising campaign. To compound an already delicate situation, the General Sales Manager and the Sales Representative, neither knew anything about my history with AT&T Yellowpages.com except that I was unhappy. Neither sales reps had any written documentation substantiating phone call made and received from me to AT&T Yellowpages.com, dates of communication and content of communication, dates when the site launched live and who was the technician responsible for collecting keywords. The two representatives had nothing other than a Laurel and Hardy routine prepared for me; it was adding insult to injury. This only defined that they did not care for me as a client, but cared for me as a monetary account.

After some discourse, we requested the General Sales Manager to simply dissolve our relationship. He said that he did not have the authority to do so, but on our behalf would propose to those who did have the authority to do just that. March 16, 2011, the General Sales Manager and I connected. He said that AT&T Yellowpages.com did everything that they promised to do for me and that they would NOT cancel the contract.

So-here I stand...tethered to incompetency and frustrated beyond. I was informed by the General Sales Manager that they had a contractual agreement with Google...who apparently is really behind our advertising campaign. I have tried contacting Google to understand the terms they have with AT&T Yellowpages.com. I am considering a class action suit against the company. If you have any ideas, I would be grateful. If anyone reading this is willing to be listed in a class action suit, please contact me at [protected].

Same here but worse, bad rep last year, worse this year, sent cancellation letter cert. Will probably contact local lawyer next week to see how old contract can be cancelled and no more phone calls from this EVIL company. Will also ask how to get out of new contract, that took place of old one. I hate AT&T will no longer do any business with them, I don't care if they have the last phone on the face of the earth. And their UNION employees that allowed to talk to customers anyway they want. I have to *67 my number just to get thur...that's impressive, it keep going to voice mail every time I would call, wish some of the older post had thought of that trick. AT&T of Georgia sucks. Esp senior reps, the new one was great.

Same deal here, got a phone call, said it's recording, the rep just read the contract, and I was being mislead and got into this non clear contract for $329.73/month for a year. I was never recieve the paper version of this contract, till I was billed and got 2 different bills, combine and it's $329.73/month. I called the biling, paid via phone, and billing said it's $308.10. Now, I got this a year contract, which I didn't agree in, and $21 past due, because their biling department sucks? I am filing this to anywhere to get this justice. We don't have that much money for these money sucking corporation!

Same thing has happened to me. I thought that I was getting in the phone book (paper) not the internet. Then when I found out that it was just internet then they add me to my AT&T phone bill which for two areas added up to $55.00/mo. I have called and complained even sent letters and no where did I go they can't let me off either. I was getting 8 clicks a month WHOPPIE!. I do my own optimizing and with that I am ranked on first page for yahoo and google why would I care about this. I even told them this and that didn't matter. So, here is what I did I got rid of my AT&T Phone bill and got vontage! Which works off your cable or dsl, now I have no bill whats so ever from AT&T so they can't get me anylonger. I even got to keep my two phone numbers I am so happy with Vontage and I plan on down the road to do my phone at home to my dsl wireless. Yes, I will still have AT&T for DSL unless I get cable wireless? himmmm, I will have to think about that. Yes, this is a rip off.

AT&T ridiculous

On Agust 15th I canceled my U-verse service and was told that I would be recieving a box to return the equiptment. The representaive also stated that I was overcharged on my bill for internet after I explained to her that, "I was told by an att rep that they were doing upgrades in the area and that I needed to be upgrated to U-verse." I asked if my internet fee was going to go up and she replied "NO that it will stay the same" that they were just upgrading the entire area. Everything else will remain the same.Than she offerd the TV service for free for sixthy days which I canceled way before the deadlin. I expalined to the phone rep that I was being charge 40.00 instead of the 19.99 I was originally paying. She put me on hold and she checked many times with management and she iformed me finally that as she looked at my bill I was to disregard my bill because I was overcharged and that she will issue me a full credit of the intire bill when they recieved the equiptment. Well I still haven't recieved the box and I have spokent to 5 differnt people including a manager that also missinformed me about my current interet charge that I would be recieving. The Last person I spoke with told me that I missunderstood everything that was expalained to me, but never said that she was sorry that I was misinformed. Even the manager missinformed me about what rate I would be able to recive. This manager informed me that she will be giving me a thirthy dollar credit and my internet U-verse will be 20.00 dollars. I asked her what are you going to do with the bill that your rep told me to disregard? She said you can do what ever you want to with it, I will still give you a thirty dollar credit regardless. I explained that she wasn't being specific. She said you can pay it or not if you want to. Rediculous!.And ofcourse all the information we dicussed about the credits to my account and the quoted rate change were not documented so when I called for the fifth time The represantive had no clue of what I was talking about. I am very frustrated and I still haven't recieved that stupind box. The rep did give me a $25.00 credit finally after being on the phone with her explaining over and over for two hours about all the misleading conversation that I had with all the customer service reps! But I still am not able to get the rate that the manager told me I would be reduced to. So I'm still not happy!

I am currently waiting for a call from another manager, which I have a feeling nothing will be resolved.

About June 16th, I woke up to a beep on my heart monitor, which is attached to a phone line. I had nothing. No phone, cable, internet. Called customer service. They couldn't fix it on their end. They said they couldn't send anyone out until the next day. I mentioned again that I had a heart monitor, didn't help. When the service tech came, it only about 30 mintues. They had to reset something. Anyway, my bill showed they charged me $99. Where was it my fault? Went to bed with everything, woke up to nothing. Again, where is it my fault? I have contacted customer service. I told them I wasn't paying for it, remove it, or I will cancel. No response. It's been 2 weeks.

I just spent a full day trying to get AT&T to make a service call to fix my phone. My parents purchased the AT&T U-Verse package that included internet, phones and cable TV. My dad ordered it a year ago and he passed away 4 weeks ago. My mother woke this morning to no phone service. I first tried to use their website to request a service call. After 1 frustrating hour, I started calling. I spoke with several customer service representatives, even supervisors but none would help. I had to have a 4 digit code that only my dead father knew. Even after I explained to them that I only wanted the phones fixed so at least my mother could dial 911 if she needed help, and I wasn't trying to change the plan, payment or seek any billing information. I just wanted the phone fixed! No such luck. I even drove into town and visited the AT&T Store in a desperate attempt to get help. The retail store tried to help, but after another 45 minutes, I was no better off. I have NEVER had such lousy customer service! I found out the contract is up, so I am switching carriers. Life is just too short to put up with this kind of garbage!

I have had Uverse for a month. It was fine until something went wrong then it took them three days to get a service man out. The only good thing is that the tech gave me his card so that next time I can contact him directly. Also the quality of the Uverse voice is not very good and it does not work with many fax machines. So keep that in mind in making your decision.

I recently moved and transferring my u-verse service has been an extremely painstaking process. First I was told it would be connected Saturday, the next day, then I was told I had to wait 10 days. I set the delivery for 4:30pm, which I setup w a phone agent. They were clear and repeated it back to me several times that someone would be here at 4:30. On the day of connection, I got a call at 8 saying they'd be out soon. I told them no one would be home until 4:30 like I previously set it up for and they apologized and said the info must not have been passed along. Then I got a call an hr later from a woman wanting to confirm my 4:30 installation. Around lunch I got a call from another technician wanting to come install. I told him again no one will be home until 4:30. He said I'm sorry I'll tell my manager. No one had come by 5:30 so I called them. I talked a female agent who said my order had been pushed to a later date. No one had told me this. My at&t cell phone lost signal while on the call so I couldn't set another date. I called back and spoke with another agent who told me she resumed my order. She told me someone would absolutely be out that night to check the line and no one would need to come in and Internet would be turned on that night. It didn't work by 9:30 so I called back. Then they said my order was pending and no date was set for anyone to make the installation. I asked for a supervisor who eventually told me the same thing and then informed me it wouldn't be done until Saturday. From the day of disconnect to reconnect is 16 days. This is obsurd and the most ridiculous form of incompetence I've ever had to deal with in any company. No one made any attempt to make up for this in any way. I suppose at&t's employees do whatever they want, tell customers whatever they want, and then they're apathetic when told. I spent over 2 and a half hrs on the phone with At&t throughout the day and I was lie to, pestered, and brushed under the rug.

We have been trying to get At&t u-verse installed in my home since last year. We have made numerous appointments and to this day no one has come out. Some of the appointments have been 10/14, 20, 21, 26, 2017 and 11/5/09, 12/28/09 and 1/13/10 to name a few. Each time I have called, the rep from At&t tell me the problem is solved and nothing happens. They say DSL has to be disconnected, an appoinytment is set up, but nothing happens. When I call I've been transferred all over the place with no resolution. No one seems to know what to do. I've asked for supervisors, then I'm either transferred or disconnected. Then I have to start all over again explaining the problem. I am a patient person, but this is the extreme. I have been on the phone all day today and hopefully something can be resolved.

I had dsl 6.0 for over a year, but only really hadabout 2.0 speed. I called numerous times to complain and got a different excuse everytime. Techs would come to my house and couldnt find anything wrong and just leave, or wouldnt even show up in the first place after wed wait all day. I was going to cancel my dsl when at&t said i could upgrade to uverse and that would fix my slow speeds.They said it would be $179. for the change, but with a $100 rebate it would be only $79.

My bill finally came and it was $304, and guess what-ITS NO FASTER THAN IT WAS TO BEGIN WITH. One of their so called techs came to our house and tried to tell us that my new xbox was bad my two new desktops were bad and our wii was bad and our new laptop were bad, lol. Then he change his story and said it takes 10 days for uverse to ramp up to full speed. Well thats a lie also, come to find out if a customer calls within 10 days of the tech leaving their home, it goes against the techs record.

I can honestly say that at&t has lied to me everytime ive talked to them, and they dont give a damn about keeping their customers. We ordered uverse over the phone – we have at@t internet and home phone. The agent said we had to bundle all. ATT now has our home listed as disconnected and listed to a different woman in the same town but our phone still rings to this number. The agent said we can get a $ 216 gift card – now impossible to get. Recived $90 internet bill on one phone that has unlimited data plan, $90 for going over limit- there is no limit on plan in place.

Internet service at home keeps going out and has to be rebooted and the sound quality in one room is no good and the company cant fix it. The company wont pick up their lines or operators drop calls on transfers. They have the wrong email address for us but their website wont allow us access to change information. I am canceling everthing that was installed.

Don't get fooled by the recent spate of AT&T U-Verse commercials.
- The "hi-def" signal is worse than a standard analog signal, with stutterss, pixels, freezing, and other problems.
- The internet service conked out after a day and couldn't be repaired.
- The land line service conked out with the internet service and both were down for 10 days (remember, land lines are a 19th-century technology)
-I spent hours on hold for several days - no exaggeration - with no results. I was passed from Tech Support to Customer Service, from "AT&T" to "U-Verse" (sometimes they were separate companies, sometimes the same company, depending on who you were talking to).
- My wife's business suffered because while the phone was down, calls were being routed to a voice mail account that we didn't want and that we couldn't even access.
-When we finally threw in the towel, in order to keep the same number we had to re apply with (old fashioned) AT&T - including a credit check and everything - even though we had an account with them for fifteen years.

It was the worst customer service experience of my life. Months later, we still get regular calls and in-person sales visits asking us to join up - they can't even get us off the list. I'm no fan of the local cable service, but U-Verse is simply awful.

I am an AT&T wireless iphone user, but never use AT&T other service before and I wanted to give AT&T internet a try. In the month of August, AT&T had DSL elite promotion for $20 a month, which I called to sign up at August 11th. However, AT&T representative told me my home address no longer offer DSL service. Instead, she promise $250 gift card for sign up the U-Verse internet service and $100 rebate for Modem. I believe what she said and agree to sign up without hesitation.

Initially, AT&T missed appointment schedule at August 27th for no explanation. I took off & loss a day's pay to wait for the technician who never appear. Finally, after persistent calls to AT&T during night, they finally sent someone and got it installed at August 28th.

Late September, I Received the first bill and found out the monthly price is higher than expected. Called AT&T U-Verse customer service immediately and was told they can not honor the $250 gift card promotion which was promised earlier. Instead, I was instructed to close the account, return the modem and ignore the bill I received since I am qualified for full refund. I followed the instruction and returned the modem, then totally put whole thing behind me.

But starting from December, I start to get credit collection agency call for owning AT&T money ~$180. I was very angry and called AT&T at Dec 14th. I talk with representative, followed by Manager (melinie). They agreed to remove $100 modem charge only, because I indeed sent it back by USPS. But they insist on the rest $80 since they do not have any record in their system that I am qualified for either gift card promotion or full refund. I nicely asked them to go over the recording of each conversation, and they will find the proof that I am the victims in both cases. "AT&T is large corporations and representatives do make mistakes, which we are not responsible", I was told. Now, I have no choice but escalate the issue. Hope it will get addressed by professional manner.

In summary:

1. AT&T either does not train the representatives sufficiently or they are instructed to mislead customers.

2. I get in-consistent information from every representative. The first person use $250 gift card promotion to sign me up on U-verse internet; the second person does not honor the offer but agree to cancel the service and give me full refund; The last person, Melinie, does not honor both offers, and insist I pay for AT&T's mistake.

3. AT&T miss initial installation date for no any single reason or call. I lost 1 days pay for nothing.

4. What I get is time and aggravation spent talking to representatives to address the issue.

5. Finally, I still receive morning and/or night call from Credit collection agency every day.

I call to order the dsl internet and the customer service tells me that they dont have it for my area anymore, and that they have the uverse. So I went through all the motions of placing an order to get it because I had a laptop computer. I paid $100 to get a modem they said thati will get a reward card for $100 after the activation, it will be shipped to me on monday march 12, 2017.. I got the equipment on that day hooked it up after 8pm and low and behold no service.

On tuesday morning I call tech support at 9:35am and they tried to run tests and it still didnt work so I set up an appointment for the service tech to come to my home on wednesday from 8am – 12pm and no one ever showed up and I was home all day…I called att tech again at 7:30pm to see what happened and they said that my appointment for service had been canceled and did not know why it had been canceled.

So im talking to the guy sergio about my modem and he asks me questions about it and then he tells me that I had the wrong modem sent to me and that it is not wireless (For my laptop) and that the new modems that are wireless are out of stock and wont be in stock until april 2, 2017 and they cost $25 and I told him that I was not paying $25 for a modem and I had paid $100 already so he then tell me to go to bestbuy, radio shack or walmart to get a modem fror cheap so that I wont have to have them ship the new one to me.. He said that I can hook it up to this modem that I already have…meanwhile I am as sooooo pisssed I should’ve went with insight.
