AT&T
complaints

ATT has cost me multiple days of work waiting for empty promises and correcting their mistakes. When the iPhone 15 came out, I ordered it. I was told that I needed to have someone at the point of delivery to receive it as they were shipping it overnight. Next day I called in the evening as I waited all day because I was told it would be delivered the next morning. I was then was told I was not getting my phone on this day because it was back ordered. Then I was offered $25 for my trouble as I lost a day of work. It only gets worse from there. The customer service is horrible. I have spent almost 4 hours on a frozen line with them because the representative did not want to handle their inefficiencies. ATT added a line to my account instead of transferring my old number to my new phone, and then billed me for 2 lines when on my next bill. To throw salt in the wound, it took almost 45 minutes to get that rectified. I ended up calling them multiple times, in which the line would mysteriously disconnect. See pictures below of the phone call.

I have been an AT&T customer for over 20 years, and this company is the worst of the worst in regards to Internet/Phone service. Every few months they have major outages that apparently their technicians can resolve and it takes days to get your service back up and running. Before Southwestern Bell bought up all the Baby Bells and became AT&T 2.0 the service was still tops. Now it is such an embarrassment the original AT&T would have cringed. I will never return to this company ever again and I will be very outspoken as far as telling others to forget getting service from them. What a shame such a majestic company name such as AT&T would have this happen in their history.

ATT has made a series of errors and will not claim any form of responsibility, not even partially. literally yelled at me. I recorded it all.13yr customer and I was tossed around by 3 condescending CSA's. Basically called a liar, yelled over, cut off, interupted, and then came the anxiety attack. ATT has had to reverse charges for me before and this time they want over $1200 for their mistakes. They keep charging the wrong bank account and are claiming it's my fault and my only options are pay immediately or pay later. Absolutely nothing was resolved, I cried the whole hour and 20 minutes on the phone with them and had an embarrassing anxiety attack too. I had to excuse myself a moment to catch my breath. After 13 years, I have to switch companies. I used to love att. I wanted to stay.

AT&T wireless service sales representatives/agents have continued to used Deceptive Trade practices, misrepresentation regarding my home telephone account and refuses to transfer my telephone number back to the original landline status. The Wireless sales agent promise to reduced the price for the service instead the price increased 2 to 3 times the original landline service.

I have been deal with this unprofessional discriminatory behavior for almost 30 days straight.

On July 1,2023 I was approved for the ACP, and was told $0 pay and to go online every month on the 11th and confirm I was still using the internet which I did. But still receiving Bills. I paid both bills as I was told it takes 1-2 billing cycles for it to show, now I am waiting for the 3rd bill the end of month and to see if $0 or $59.00. I'm a senior 75 years old and on a fixed low income is why I even applied, but still receiving these bills.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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