AT&T Offshore India networking technical support has shut down my phone for almost a month

I purchased a new iPhone in November 2021 and it is now January 2022 and I cannot receive inbound calls since December 19 of 2021. I had numerous issues, countless issues with my upgrade and I believe that somebody in the India customer support center has done something to the networking related to my cell phone so that I am not able to receive inbound calls over a month later. Tampering with my phone is a federal offense. Please text me and I will call you back. Reita Sikka [protected]

Desired outcome: Free iPhone, free one year of cell phone service

AT&T U-verse

On 12/30/31, I lost TV reception and called AT&T. A repair person was scheduled for 12/31/31 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. The repair arrived early between 1 and 2 p.m. on the 31st. He was here over two hours and failed restore reception before having to leave. I'm paying AT&T $149/month for zero TV reception! Worse, they never call to learn whether their repair person restored my TV reception which he did not.
P.S. I've been a long time AT&T customer and always have paid my bills on time

Desired outcome: Restoring TV reception

AT&T Wrong payment card used

have been a At&t customer for many years, and recently a payment failed to go through from my checking account because they were attempting to charge payment to a old card account that had been updated in their system, but they tried to get payment from the wrong card .
Rather than contact me by email or phone to notify me about the issue, they waited until the following month and charged me a failed attempt fee even though I had called them to confirm whether the payment had been processed and they incated that there were no out siding payments due.

This is the very snake type behaviour that customers contend with with companies like AT&T. Anything that they can do to get extra money from customers.

Desired outcome: Stop being bloodsuckers

AT&T Customer service

No u verse signal for 2 days. I have called at least 6 times. I have been insulted and hung up on. I have tried to complain at different site only to get the message that my password is not recognized. This for my land line. I was told that u verse would no longer be available. Previously I was told that called on my TV was no longer available. If not resolved I will complain to the BBB or local stations

AT&T Wireless phone

So because they are upgrading to 5 g towers, they are turning off our phones and telling us we have to buy their phones at their prices. I cant afford them, the costumer service sucks, the told me if I dont like it go find another carrier. Wow good customer service. I am a long time customer and I pay every month on time. This the way they treat their good customers.
I am so over them, its time to be a loyal paying customer to another carrier.
I feel no phone is worth 800 and up. I will get a track phone first.

Desired outcome: Terry

AT&T U-Verse Equipment

U-Verse Equipment Acc #[protected]
I never had U-Verse and have no idea what you are talking about.
I moved from 30 St Sebastian Ln, Cullman, Al 35057 to 336 Jonesboro Cir, Columbiana, Al 35051 in June 2021. I talked with a representative by phone about getting ATT TV at that time. He ordered it and the box was sent up my previous address. His name was Kenyatta [protected]. I had to talk to him several times before this mess was straightened out and I received my ATT TV equipment. My ATT Equipment was returned shortly after that because we were not happy with the service. After that I started receiving these letters about U-Verse equipment. I never had U-Verse.
Thank you
Shirley Froberg

Desired outcome: Stop sending letters

AT&T E-Mail Support Not able to acess E-Mail

12/12 /2021 AT&T is useless been on the phone all day and they have no one smart enough to correct the problem on line.Might be time to look for a company that can support their clients.They are sending info. on the correction by snail mail so much for their high speed.The first tech could not speak english.The 2nd tech was in Europe.I ask to be transfered to a State Side tech then ask to speak to a supervisor and that did not happen.Stated it could be 5 to 30 days before the problem could be correted,

Desired outcome: Send correction to another E-Mail address rather than use snail mail.

AT&T Wireless Phone non competitive pricing

[protected] approx time 4:30 pm, I have just spoken with the AT&T Customer Service agent, Daniel in Texas. Very knowledgeable and friendly individual, but he was unable to match T-Mobile's unlimited plan (Text, Data, and Talk) for ages 55 and up plus free phone. I understand business' need to make money. Yet, he did inform me that AT&T has a similar plan for Florida only for 55 and up ages. If this is the case than AT&T doesn't understand the demographics of Senior citizens, such as myself (71) and wife (70) in Georgia. A program that is available only in Florida may constitute a "Bait and Switch" scenario as only Florida residents can use it and especially if a Florida resident moved but retained the Florida number in another state and still paid the same as a Florida resident. Please review your policy as I will be leaving you company ASAP! If this policy exists than AT&T won't be around much longer. My phone number is [protected] Art Venzin

Desired outcome: Be competitive or lose business.

AT&T Rewards cards

Approximately 18 months ago I switched my cell phone service from Sprint to ATT. At the time of the switch my salesperson told me that I would receive a $200.00 gift card for each phone that i was turning in. I turned in two and did receive two gift cards for a total of $400.00. What he failed to tell me was that I had only six months to use these cards. Normally a gift card does not expire. Weeks after receiving the cards I searched for them one day to make a purchase at my local grocery store. Unable to find them I came to the conclusion that they were accidentally thrown in the trash. This week, I did find them in my nightstand. I then called to make sure that they were still that they were activated and ready to use. Thats when I found out that they had expired after six months of their issue date. I am a disabled vet and $400.00 is a great deal on money for me. What i am asking is that you re issue these cards...as i have stated, I was never told that I had only a short time to use them. Your records will show that neither of these cards were ever used. I am inclosing the card numbers. This situation is not completely my fault.

AT&T Unethical and downright misleading behaviour

I own a small antique business in the Dallas Design District. I have been in my current location for 4 years. AT&T had no broadband service here until recently but every few months a Rep would call in trying to sell me fiber optic broadband even though they could not provide it. About 3 months ago a Rep from AT&T called in and she was adamant that she could supply a fiber optic 1000 mbps service. As I was only getting 300 mbps (and less in reality) from Spectrum, I expressed an interest. She sent out a site engineer (sub contractor) to perform a site inspection about 2 weeks later. He came and confirmed that they could get a fiber optic service to me and that he was submitting his report. I contacted my next door business neighbors who are friends of mine and told them they should also sign up. After another few weeks I notice an AT&T technician installing the service next door and I had heard nothing. I called AT&T business and nobody answered and nobody ever returned my call. I gave up! 2 weeks ago 3 girls (rep's) from AT& T called into my shop, selling fiber optic broadband. My first reaction was to laugh. I explained in detail to them my history with AT&T over this. They assured me that it must have been an oversight. They checked the company's records but could find no record of my previous order or even the engineers site visit report. I told them in no uncertain terms that if they could in fact deliver me 1000 mbps service that I would sign up. They made numerous calls to HQ and finally presented me with contracts and paperwork for Fiber Optic Internet and Land line for a combined $70. They even offered me a $250 prepaid VISA Card to pay the $100 installation fee and $150 for the previous inconvenience(s). At ALL times I was led to believe that this was for their 1000 mbps service and very tellingly the paperwork is 'silent' on the service speed that was being agreed. As I was currently getting 300 mbps internet, land line and TV from Spectrum I obviously would NEVER have agreed to a lesser service even for a small saving... it would make ZERO sense. The AT&T technician came today (by prior appointment) and spent the entire day installing the new AT&T service. I could do nothing else for the entire day. When he was finished setting it up and about to leave I connected to the new modem and ran a speed test. It was just over 50 mbps download and about 50 mbps upload. I immediately asked the technician as to why it was so slow when the contract was for 1000 mbps. He called HQ and was told that my contract was for 50 over 50 mbps. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THIS! THIS WAS NOT WHAT I HAD SIGNED UP FOR! Why would I sign up for this when I was getting 6 times that download speed from Spectrum? He put me on the phone with one of the Rep's who sold me this 'sows ear' of a service and she tried to BLAME ME! She tried to say that they had discussed this with me before signing. I called her out on her lie and she then backtracked and then said that "they made the decision on the service speeds based upon what THEY thought was right for my business needs". As you can imagine I totally 'lost it' with her... Who do they think they are making business decisions on behalf of MY business without my approval? This has got to be the most APPALLING thing anyone has ever said to me... namely that they know better than I do about how to operate my business! The simply truth here is that they lied about the 1000 mbps service, they deliberately neglected to write the agreed service into the contract because they KNEW I would NEVER have agreed to it. I immediately cancelled the order and told her that I would NEVER do business with AT&T again! She then had the audacity to offer me 300 mbps for the same price as I was currently paying Spectrum (for the same speed) but with TV included in my Spectrum Bill! THE MIND BOGGLES AT THE CHEEK OF THEM! Then I had to contact Spectrum myself to get my land line back which could take several days. Out of curiosity I checked my Spectrum speed and it was TWICE the AT&T Speed! I am not letting them get away with this attempted FRAUD! I am at a loss and they WILL recompense me.

Desired outcome: Recompense and satisfaction.

AT&T Unauthorized attempt to hang high speed wire across my property

I live at 2285 Bald Hill Rd., Auburn, CA. Yesterday morning 11/29/21 around 10:30, I noticed about 6 or more att trucks parked along the SE corner of my property, which is surrounded by field fencing for animals. I walked over there to see them in the process of trying to place a string across a wide swath of the corner of my land. I asked them what they were doing and one guy, Ray, told me they were stringing wire for high speed in my area. I told them they were not to string new wire across my property and to remove the string they had already stretched across my land. I told them I was never notified that att was planning to put wire across my land and that they did not have my permission. I asked Ray where the att internet wire was currently located, he told me it was in the ground outside the perimeter of my property, along Bald Hill Rd. It looks to me that att is attempting to do a shortcut, instead of replacing the old underground wire, you are attempting to string wire in new places, where there was none, which happens to be across residents' property. I suggested to Ray that the att engineering people rework their plans, especially in regard to attempt stringing unauthorized high speed across residents' property in this area (that previously had no wiring on it). I told Ray I would be contacting my neighbors to be on the lookout for your att trucks trying to do unauthorized new wiring across their property as well. I asked Ray and the other ATT people on site to give me the phone number of your Engineering people, They refused. I tried calling your customer service number yesterday and was told by "Maria" that a manager would call me directly, which never happened.
These are examples of very bad customer service and I would like to speak with someone in charge immediately.

Desired outcome: I would like ATT's assurance that they will not attempt to string wire across my property with out explanation and without my consent.

this is unusual, usually they email, call, and knock on your door if they plan to do stuff like this. you don't live in a HOA or a community complex correct? if you do then the HOA/complex management should have alerted you via email or notice in mailbox/on your door. if neither one then someone dropped the ball here and it should be rectified quickly.

AT&T at&t repairman damaged my sewer line

I had a backed up sewer line and called a plumber he was unable to fix it because it was in the street. I had to call the city to fix it. They told me it was damaged by at&t and fixed it but I still had to pay a large bill from the plumber even though he wasn't the one who fixed it. Since it wasn't my fault I was wondering if I could get a refund for the money I had to pay the plumber?

No one even the supervisor can help me for this issue. So, is the ATT agreement for nothing? Is that fair? the supervisor said that agreement right on that day -not now

Desired outcome: The Loyalty team and supervisor said that $59.99 + tax is right, and they don't care the agreement.

AT&T Billing customer service

I have been having issues with my AT&T DSL service and I have exhausted all avenues to resolve this issue with AT&T Customer Service Representatives.

https://www.att.com/support/contact-us/
1-800-288-2020
1-855-386-4590

On October 28, 2021, I reported to AT&T that my DSL service had lost connectivity. After troubleshooting with the tech, the issue was not resolved. As a result, the AT&T tech opened a work order to have the line checked on November 9, 2021. On Tuesday afternoon, Nov 9th, I received a telephone call from the AT&T line tech saying that someone had moved my connection in the AT&T switch box to a port that does not support DSL and that he had moved it to a switch port that does support DSL. After resetting the DSL modem in my home, I established network connectivity that late evening. So, I went 13 days with no DSL network connectivity. Today, I have tried multiple times to request that AT&T not charge me for DSL service for the 13 day outage period with each time receiving an excuse that the customer service tech could not see the tech notes regarding the issue, or they would transfer me to another tech that also used the no access to tech notes excuse, or I needed to phone a different number.

Desired outcome: Adjust my billing for the period of time I had no DSL service

AT&T Sales and customer service

Solicited me for a multi=line wireless plan then after the second bill (3x quote) told me I wasn't eligible for it. I even had an email from a tier 2 CSR detailing what I had signed up for and the top manager on duty when I called refused to honor it. Two months cost me about $600. Switched both internet and wireless immediately.

Desired outcome: Let other consumers know.
