AT&T AT&T tv

I recently switch to AT & T. When I accepted the offer I made it clear that I did not want a contract of any kind and I was ensured that there was no contract. I am trying to cancel the AT&T tv service which still has not happened and I have been charge again for the service which I am no using and I was told I had to pay $440.00 for equipment in order to cancel. Please see below.

I signed up for the $139.00 plan which is what I was charged for the first billing period. On the second billing the charge ent up by $20.00 per month. I called the customer care department and was told the charge of $5.00 per month per box for equipment. When I advised I was not told that there was a charge for equipment. I was then told that I could return the equipment to the local AT&T store. I did go to take equipment back after about one and a half months because we decided to cancel completely. I told to contact customer service which I did and I was told I had to pay $440.00 fo the equipment which I could keep.
Please correct this and reimburse the $159.00 I have been charged again and tell me where to return the equipment.
Thank you.

Desired outcome: Have service canceled refund of $159.00 and told where to return the equipment.

AT&T Cable through AT&T with Direct TV

When my bill with AT&T went up by 80.00 dollars, I decided to cancel. I called the number on my billing statement and was directed to a representative who advised me that my contract had expired and that I would be charged the new amount for the current month. If I wanted to cancel the service I should do so by the 10 th of the next month, to avoid being charged for yet another month. I did as they suggested and paid the increase for the current month. When I called to cancel I was told that they would honor my request and cancel my service. I then had a new service from another provider installed. Two weeks later I received a bill from DirectTV for 113.00 dollars. I called and said that I cancelled my service on the 10 th of the month, as I had been instructed to do by their representative. The person with whom I was speaking told me I would have had to cancel by the 8th of the month to avoid being charged . Since they do not prorate, They said I owed for the entire month even though I had service with and had paid the new provider .

Desired outcome: I want them to clear my credit report, I have always had excellent credit and this is causing me so much anxiety.

AT&T Cellular service billing

Edward M. Walden
422 West Main Street
North Adams, MA 01247
[protected] (AT&T Customer)
JULY 7, 2021

To:
Walmart Customer Service
AT&T Customer Service
Equifax Credit Bureau
Transunion Credit Bureau
Experian Credit Bureau
AFNI, Inc

Greetings:
This letter is in response to a recent derogatory letter from a collection agency (AFNI, Inc) that claims that I have an outstanding balance of $234.80 on a phone that I purchased at Pittsfield, MA Walmart store.
This was done, I was told by the AT&T Store manager in Pittsfield, on July 25, 2020. The store manager
At AT&T store stated that he could see what happened because the WalMart store in Pittsfield wasn't able to port my phone number to my new phone and no one cancelled the new number after my number was ported over.
This is such a convoluted story that I am at wits end trying to explain it. It's not the money it's the derogatory mark and lowering of my credit score.
There was a young man at WalMart that was working at the electronics counter. He was really nice, (Eric? His name?) but was having a difficult time with me, as his customer, and his wife(girlfriend?) that
Kept calling him in some crisis she was having. He kept putting me off and tried repeated times to calm her and get back to me. Maybe 7 or 8 times he answered her call and he would ask me to excuse him because of her problem. When he finally did get me my phone and contract to sign it was really messed up. I paid him $160.00 for the phone and for the service. He told me that he was unable to port the number from my old phone to my new phone but asked me to come back the next day. I left the store with a phone that had(according to AT&T a new number) [protected]. The next day on my return to the store the salesperson still couldn't port the number. FINALLY I went to the AT&T store and they ported my number and got me on a pre-pay plan that is automatically deducted every month from my account. It would seem that AT&T would have seen that I am using the phone with my own number and have cancelled the other account.
I am, as you can see, confused, frustrated, and slightly angry. I called AT&T, Stopped at WalMart, Went to the AT&T store, Filed a complaint with the credit bureau and here I am…still stuck in this credit mess.
I pay my bills on time all the time. I value my good name. I'm not going to quote Othello here but my name is all I have.
If you can make sense of this allegory…great. If not, I'm stuck in the middle of the six of you.
Hope you can help.
Thank You
Ed

Desired outcome: Correction on credit report

AT&T First net att

Att suspended my first net law enforcement account service when clearly the error was att. The account was suspended on 7/7/2021. Att received several payments on account. Also on July 7 2021 representative stated in order to restore service I would have 2 wait 48 hours or refund money back to cards and wait for bank to post then make payments all over again. I have done business with att for over 7 years. This is purely disrespectful

AT&T Coverage

I have had AT&T wireless service since 2019 and the coverage for phone calls are terrible. My 4 iPhones, constantly drop calls and cut in and out while talking. I've contacted AT&T, several times, without resolving this issue. They always advise me to reset network settings or send me a SIM card. This does nothing for improving this problem. I never once had this problem with Verizon.

Desired outcome: Fix this major problem

AT&T Cell phone “5G” upgrade

Colorado Springs was one of the first Places that AT&T started upgrading to 5GE 18 months ago. Our phone service at this point is worse than the service I had in 2005. The data is imaginary. The phones shows coverage repeatedly up to and including five bars and will not connect by phone or Internet.I repeatedly have voicemail messages delivered up to 30 hours after the message has been left. People leaving msgs have no idea the vm nay be delivered anytime in the next 2 days. Atrocious is not even the right category.

We still have 6 months of payments for 2 unusable phones on att. How do we get usable service again?

AT&T transfer my Firstnet line to the customer ATT line for weeks.

To whom it may concern:
I need your help; I'm trying to transfer my Firstnet line to the customer ATT line for weeks. I spoke with multiple representatives from Firstnet and ATT. Unfortunately, no one can help; not many even know what I'm asking—complete incompetence.
Please provide me with the information on how I can resolve my issue. I have been a customer for 10+ years for such a dysfunctional organization. The service is horrific.
Thanks,

AT&T Outages every day this week for hours

We operate a business from home and have all of our Phones, Internet and everything through you guys. Lately we have had hours each day of no phone or internet without anyway to operate. We are being forced to drive to a zone where we get internet and phones. We have been pleased with AT&T in the past but with the current issues we are starting to look elsewhere. For reference our phone on the account is [protected], [protected] plus [protected] and we also have 2 tablets. I know you don't want to hear complaints but we are literally dead in the water when we lose service.
Email:[protected]@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Terry Beal

Desired outcome: Some response on what has been happening and when it will be fixed.

AT&T wireless, internet, Att TV, customer service, etc

I would absolutely turn every service I have with At&t off no matter how many years I have been with them. To say they are incompetent and just don't care is an understatement and if I could switch to another company I would do it in a second. It's a long story but I will try and make it short. They screwed up my wireless when I went in for an upgrade. The customer service on the phone tells me one thing and then send me to the store to relay the message to which the store contradicts their own employees. They are the same company but you have to call each one separately like one for wireless and another for internet. They can't communicate amongst themselves?
The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing so every different number I call is like 50 first dates and I have to start all over again. I am actively looking for alternative service. The incompetence is like nothing I have ever dealt with. They aren't interested in helping but would rather argue and try to prove they are right. WILL NEVER use them again and can't get away from them soon enough!

Desired outcome: I don’t even know if there is one at this point

AT&T email

I have been unable to log into my email since May 25, 2021. I have spent a total of 13 hours on the phone with ATT to get it resolved.

The tech support team has attempted to reset my password on 3 different occasions. It never worked. Supposedly a ticket was made to go to yet another department to resolve the issue. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago. I called again today and the person I talked to insisted on making another ticket to go to a tech team to reset the password. I have little faith.

Is there anyone in ATT that can get me back into my email?

Thank you,
Lisa McCluer

Desired outcome: I am able to log into my email.

AT&T Wifi

We're on the highest speed AT&T has & still getting low numbers. Have had several people come out from AT&T & same issues. They change the boxes & it still happens. The last guy tried charging me $99 but why would I pay for their problems. Now again on Father's Day a day men want to watch sports it's acting up. AT&T CSR are horrible & the service techs admit it. Had one tell me AT&T is purposely slowing U-verse customers speeds to get them to switch & I quote " it's not going to get better " per the tech that came out the 27 time. Yes we're counting. We pay $500 a month for AT&T & we get poop. Time to switch

Desired outcome: Hard wire the wireless devises

AT&T Robo calls

These calls are driving crazy.
this is a Saturday morning, time 12:15, and I have already received 12 of these calls. This goes on every day from 8AM to 9 PM. most of them are from the same people. They are scams. You tell them to take your name off their calling list, but that doesn't work. There should be something that can be done. Can I get some help from you, or at least tell where I can get some help. Thank you.

AT&T Fixed wireless internet

Long story that I'll try to summarize. In my rural area there are few options for internet. I found At&t had fixed wireless internet and got it installed last October. It worked great until Spring. After several calls regarding outages they finally sent a technician, who told me he could only improve the signal so much because I was over 4 miles from the cell tower and the trees starting to leaf was causing signal loss - something I would think they would warn about.
After more research I found At&t had another wireless option, basically a hot spot. Their salesperson asked me what I would be using internet for and I said surfing and streaming. She said it would certainly work for that. It cost more than fixed wireless and didn't come with as many gigabytes, but I figured the 100 I got would be plenty, since I had been using about 54 on my fixed wireless plan. I tried the new wireless and had no issues so I canceled the fixed wireless and got the hot spot.
Turns out the hot spot wireless uses way more gigabytes and I had almost maxed it out after about 2 weeks. It took several calls to understand why. I told them I wanted to try going back to my fixed wireless to see if the worse case scenario of the current signal strength was something I could live with. I had just cancelled a couple weeks before but they said I had to order new service and the cost would be $20 more per month than the one I canceled because the special I received was no longer available. I talked to a manager to no avail, except she promised they wouldn't charge me again for installation. I saw no reason they should, since all the equipment was still there and hooked up. So after trying it again I'm willing to live with some outages vs running out of gigabytes constantly on the hotspot.
All I ask is they restore my original deal since their salesperson told me the hotspot was good for streaming and surfing and it really wasn't. I've since talked to other AT&T reps who said the hotspot is for occasional internet use and not for streaming.

AT&T U Verse -

For over 1 year the phones had not been able to hear, there was a ring, intermittent of voice send and receive, and tunnel hearing . This was checked by a technician a few times but never resolved . But 6 months ago I thought the problem would resolve . I ordered business since we had a unique set up . But after 2 attempts then calling the 3rd time I figured it would be correct and that this CR finally got it right ! WRONG. They sent the phone technician and he could connect the phones because the Internet TV cable had to be done first ! WOW how would that be possible. Then on the time that they were suppose to put in TV cable after the phones I get the service order to get phones connected ! What? So I call CRS after listening and saying what I need . Maybe 15 min I finally I spoke w someone . After the connection the nightmare began 4 days on the phone with ATT and them ping ponging me from dept to dept and hanging up on me 5 times . Reason is call forward ! Still not resolved

Desired outcome: 1 Year of free servicer

AT&T Yahoo mail

In the morning I checked my mail in my Yahoo account without issue. But in the afternoon I tried to login to my yahoo mail account and my Yahoo mail redirects to Att account which then goes nowhere and is of no help. All my mail, photos and documents are gone. No help to retrieve it. Just keep redirecting at login. No one has any idea how to fix it. Passing me on to the next uninformed person is standard procedure.

Desired outcome: I would like my yahoo account disconnected from Att account.
