AT&T charging for addition service that was supposed to be canceled over a year ago

Upgraded my iPad mini to an iPad mini 4 last July and followed the directions of the agent to transfer the new iPad to the old number. He actually actives the SIM card as a new line instead of An upgrade on existing number so a new a third new line was added but was told it would be removed as I didn't need 3 lines for only 2 devices. Apparently he never removes the third line so I have been paying an extra 15 months of $13 extra for a line that has never been used nor was ever suppose to be added. The agent I first spoke with removed the line then told me I needed to go to a store for a new SIM card so my iPad mini 4 would work cause it was on the wrong line. Which was an error on AT&T fault in the first place. He told me couldn't help me and I needed to go to a store. After I told him I could not get to a store he finally agreed to send me a new SIM card, but he pretty much told me too bad on recovering any of the fees I was wrongfully charged for. I received the card today and end over an hr with another agent who was much more helpful and after an hr and a half she finally got it working and credited me a measly $40 when I was scammed out of $120. Then after an 1 hr it was saying no SIM card again and I have no cellular service once again. This is a work iPad and just totally unacceptable!I have been a loyal customer for over 12 yrs and spend over $200 a month for wireless and another $183 for direct tv and I am appalled by the service I have received the past 3 days. The customer service was horrible and screwing your loyal customer out of money is just bad business. I will definitely be looking into other services for both direct tv and my cell service

AT&T misinformed about internet service and given the runaround

Re: (Complaint) FYI, I hate making complaints but as 45-year long loyal customer who loved AT&T until now, I have no choice. Being disabled it would be appreciated if someone gave me the courtesy and took the time to read this and address it. Thanks.

10-7-19
Dear AT&T
As former law enforcement officer on a 100% VA disability from a combination of preexisting war wounds and job related injuries I was taught to take notes and write down all the particulars of a complaint ergo the following:
On 10-4-19 I called AT&T thinking I would speak to someone in customer service who could help me in upgrading my Internet speed. For about an hour starting at 10:52 A.M, I spoke to a guy named Rick from Jacksonville Florida. I told him I was mad because I just spent 13 minutes trying to reach my doctor on the VA Secure Messaging site for veterans and was ticked off that I never got through. I wrote down the speeds and time to show how slow it was when trying to access my doctor's site but it was too long to put here. I had to stop the cursor and restart it several times. I previously found that it loaded up a little faster when you stop and restart it.
I needed to discuss my health issues with my doctor so, it was important to get in contact with him. Rick was very sympathetic and understood the need for having a faster speed. He told me I could get a 1.5 MBS upgrade from my 758 MBS.
While talking about speed, I said I would check the speed test site I have on my computer tool bar while we talked. I did a couple separate tests that showed the different speeds, all were different and low. One down load was 0.51, up was 0.08, ping 122.40. Another was down 0.27, up 0.13, pings 136.75. Rick said he recorded it on his computer so you can check it out.
I don't know much about the speeds; I only know that my machine is very slow. Rick suggested that I have a technician come out to the house and check the wiring to make sure there wasn't a problem there so, he set up an appointment for me for Saturday 10-5-19 between 1&5 P.M. and then told me he couldn't give me the upgrade in his department, he would have to transfer me.
He waited on the phone with me for several minutes for someone to pick up in customer service but no one answered. After about 10 to 15 minutes or so I told him there was no sense of him waiting with me so, I told him to hang up and leave me on the line and I would wait. He said he wanted to call me Monday for a follow-up so, I said around 11:00 A.M. would be okay. This should all be in the computer at AT&T.
A few minutes later at 12:02 P.M. a guy named Channing from the Philippians answered. I explained my life away again and was told that he didn't do the changes I needed so, he transferred me again to a completely incompetent idiot named Sam, also in the Philippians at 12:14 P.M.
Without exaggeration I had to tell this guy my name and address about a half dozens or more times as well as my account number that I read off my billing statement. He must have said,
" thank you for your patience more than a dozen times" as if that would suffice. He kept questioning the 4 accounts that I have in a bundle with AT&T because he couldn't find my Internet account to verify it.
I said that he should read back my account number to me to make sure he copied it down right. Instead of doing that, he asked for it again. At that point I had been on the phone for over an hour and was ready to give up and he said, " Oh! I'm sorry but we don't have that speed in your area yet." He went on to say that the company is putting in fiber optics in my area and that someone would contact me when it is completed. He also said that the first guy named Rick lied to me and that he would put that in the computer. We hung up at 12:38 P.M..
For some 8 years now I've been calling AT&T off and on asking if I can get a higher speed. They always said it will be there soon, which was baloney.

One of my biggest issues is when I tried to send a couple of pics with text to my state senator through my desktop computer a few weeks ago. I let it run for 45 minutes checking back and finally gave up. The little cursor just kept spinning and spinning and spinning.
I tried my tablet knowing it took 8-10 minutes to send one email with 2 pics and it finally went through after several minutes but I thought my desktop would work faster ergo the attempt, which brings me to the Saturday appointment.
After waiting for 3 hours and 40 minutes for the technician to arrive, I got a recording call from number 1-888-321-2375 at 4:40 P.M. telling me that someone would be there in 20 minutes at 5:00 P.M.
When no one showed up, I called the above number at 5:40 P.M. a couple of times trying to speak to a person only to end up having to deal with a recording that didn't understand that I wanted to speak to someone about my appointment. I kept being told to punch key # 8 to report a channel problem. When I changed the wording saying it was an, "appointment scheduling issue" I got the same response.
On my second attempt I hit the 8 and listened until the end and was told to hit "0" to speak to an agent. I ended up back at the Philippians once again speaking to a guy named Michael. I started to tell him that I wanted to know when the tech guy was coming. He blew me off putting me on hold. I waited a couple of minutes and gave up thinking that the tech guy may show up anyway.
Much to my dismay, to say I was extremely stressed and disappointed once again would be an understatement. It was an hour and ten minutes after my 5:00 appointment that I got another call from a recording at 6:10 P.M. saying that my "installation appointment" was canceled telling me to call 1-800-288-2020 to reschedule. This was the same number I started out with earlier. As for the tech checking out my Internet issue, it wasn't about having an instillation as the recording stated so, I don't know if that was a problem with the order.
This time consuming stressful nasty way to treat a very long time customer should not be tolerated. I was misled and treated poorly by people that don't have the customer's best interest in mind making the whole rotten experience all for nothing. If I learned nothing else in life, if it happened to me then it happened to thousands of others.
In closing, I want to add that many years ago I was given a $100.00 to come back to AT&T. At this point in time, I wouldn't take a $1000, 00 for the grief I was put through. What I don't need is a pat on the head and a simple apology. I want to know what you are going to do about keeping me as a customer before I go public in a big way. As a writer for many newspapers you can goggle my name if you like to see who I am. Please respond.

Respectfully,
100% disabled Marine Vietnam veteran
and former law enforcement officer.

AT&T I am complaining about my visa reward card.

I am complaining about my Visa Reward Card. I was promised I would receive the card after 3-4 months of continued service. I had ATT and switched to Comcast. I am on a fixed income and my bill with Comcast was increasing. I saw the ATT commercials and received calls about better rates. I was told I would initially receive a $200 Visa card but after many nightmare moments trying to get my phone and UVERSE connected it was raised at my urging to $400. The manager knew I was very upset. Here are the events: could not get my phone to work for weeks. Comcast said it was not them and ATT said it was not their fault. Finally, a tech guy from ATT figured out the problem. Then the cutting of the cable a contractor for ATT came out to bury the cable. Apparently the installer did not provide enough cable and the contractor cut the cable line. I could understand if the contractor had told me as I pulled into my driveway but he just drove off. I went into the house and no cable. It took several days for ATT to put me back on the scheduled to have the cable redone. I called in initially to disconnect one of boxes I never use. I then asked about my Visa Reward card and was told it or the offer had expired. The supervisor said I was sent an email which I denied. An email REALLY? I would not give up $400 on an email. It sounds like sort of a scam just like rebates. Why not just mail it out? I am paying my ATT bills and expect ATT to FULFILL THEIR PROMISES! I got the run around I have been on the phone for over 2 hours actual talktime to an ATT employee only 28 minutes. I have waited my time and money and they put me back in queue. I am very upset!

AT&T Wireless phone and dsl

Was sent a hotspot to help with the terrible service that I get with DSL. This resulted in a huge run around, and I'm probably on my tenth call totey and resolve the issue.

I returned the hotspot within the time allowed, and was told by EVERY rep I've had to speak to, that my billing would be credited ($135.00) BEFORE the payment would hit my auto-pay. Well, it's been a month, and when I last called (a few days ago) I was AGAIN told by rep (Grace) in the Philippines, that my bill would show the credit of $135.00 within 24 hrs., and I wouldn't need to call back.

Well... today I see that I wasn't credited the $135.00, and it has now been debuted from my account.

What is going on at AT&T? Why does it take so many phone calls, so much time on hold, and so many phone calls to get things done? Why does a credit that's owed to you, need to sit in a twilight zone billing are, while you wait for the billing God's to credit your account? Ifcalls are recited for quality assurance, who's reviewing these recorded calls?

I'm so angry with AT&T, that just as soon as my family has another provider option, I'll be switching our service, for our wireless phones, as well as our whimsy DSL.

Every time I call, I also get a rep from the Philippines, and I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK YO AN OFF-SHORE REP, as they talk entirely too much, and NEVER DO what they say they're Going to do.

In a letter written by an investment firm that holds over 1 billion dollars in AT&T stock, the investment firms CEO clearly states the issues with AT&T, which begins at the TOP.

All we want, is for AT&T to wake up, and take care of its customers! I'm sick of spending so much of MY time trying to fix what AT&T should have fixed, over a month ago!

I've been waiting for over a month fir a $135.00 credit to hit my account! I've spent hours on the phone with billing to try and resolve the issue, but so far NO-ONE has taken the initiative to correct the wrong, and today AT&T took the money out of my checking account.

Why is it so difficult to get the credit on your account, that you are owed?

I along with thousands of other consumers will be dropping AT&T just as soon as we have another viable option.

Heck, the CEO of the investment firm that holds over a billion dollars worth of AT&T stock, has even issued AT&T CEO and exes. a letter detailing where AT&T has screwed up, and where they need to improve. Proving to me, and many, many other AT&T customers, that AT&T has become incompetent, and I'm assuming they'll most likely sell their stock in AT&T if things don't change rapidly.

Correct this situation now, and stop routing the calls to the Philippines, where the reps don't do anything they say they'll do!

This is frustrating and shouldn't be happening!

AT&T increased contract charges I did not agree to

AT&T's charges for landline phone+internet+basicTV have gone up and up and up. I am locked into a contract. I was told the price would go down but instead it has gone up. This month it is $146. I am 83 and a widow. When the contract is up next year I will try to find someone cheaper. Can you help?

AT&T cancellation of service

I was told by a sales rep I have a month try out period if I add a new service and want to cancel it, i should not be charged for anything. then I added Internet 25 & Uverse TV bundle package. after installation, I found out the room I really need TV service cannot be accessed by cable. so I need cancel the TV service, but if I cancel the TV service, the internet charge will be jumped up to $60/month instead of $40/month, which is not attractive at all based on the internet speed, So I am thinking to cancel everything, since i cannot get any promotional price at all for the internet service. then the agent told me I will be charged for a early termination fee. what? why the sales rep said I should not be charged for anything during the adding service? Now I will be charged for the early termination? it is ridiculous! Sales rep is cheating the customer to attract them to get the new service! During the phone, i tried to find some help from inside of ATT, but the agent kept saying I am sorry and once i cancel the service, the system will automatically generate the early termination fee, bla bla bla, keep repeating and do nothing!

So, as customer, we can just take whatever we are given, take whatever we have been cheated for, and do nothing at all? what type of company AT&T right now is!

AT&T billing department

I have had AT&T for years in Florida and Michigan.
I recently purchased a home in Senoia, Georgia. I now have an AT&T/Direct TV package. In April the internet and TV was installed. I have had problems in the beginning with the billing.
I received a free NFL package for the first year. I called AT&T and talked to Felice. I asked which channels were connected to the free NFL package so I could watch my football. At that time this person disconnected my free NFL pack and connected me to NHL which costs $165 per month.
When I found out about it I called AT&T again and talked to Gary on 9/13/19. He said he would remove the amount of $165. He did not do this. I over paid the amout of my bill to make sure your company was paid in fulll. On 9/21/19 and 9/26/19 I received emails telling me my bill wasn't paid in full.
On 9/27/19 I talked to Gwen and told her I didn't owe anything. She asked when I was told the credit was going to be put on my invoice. I told her I wanted to speak to her supervisor. When I first spoke to her I made sure she had my phone number in case we were disconnected and she told me the number and said I would be called back if that happened. She put me on hold for a superviser and I was disconnected with NO call back.
I called again and talked to GIlbert. He told me to get out my invoices and had me look at the August bill that had no Direct TV charge. I told him about the NHL fee that Felice added to my bill. He said there was no charge. I almost screamed at him and told him to look again. He did then chuckeled and said "yes the charge was on my invoice". He said he would remove the charge because Gary didn't when he talked to me. He gave me a $30 credit for 12 months. He asked me if I was happy with the way he helped me and I told him absolutely no. I said he should have looked at the invoice and found the charge before he tried to help me.
These people need to be trained better. I don't have time to waste due to their incompetence.

AT&T sporadic, unreliable phone & texting services

Cell phone service getting worse. Texting and phone calls do not go through. Text & phone messages sometimes show up a day or two after they were originally sent. Problem area is around Lowell/Spain neighborhood of Albuqueruqe, NM (zip code 87111). Georgia O'Keefe Elementary school gets no service at all. Speculating there is a "shadow" from the transmitter or new construction/connections may be impacting services but not know how that is resolved.

AT&T at&t

Mr. Randall L. Stephenson who is the CEO of AT&T could care less about the customers. He should have been fired ages ago and the Feds should thoroughly investigate this company for massive fraud against the millions of consumers.

I had issues with DirectTV and could never get a customer service representative. They have their customer service based in the Philippines.

They said they would come to our house from 8 am to 11 am and NO ONE showed up. They then routed me to so many different people, I finally gave up.

The DirectTV box is just sitting at my father's house and he's unable to use it. He's 89. I will be filling a $2 billion lawsuit against AT&T.

AT&T mobile device activation fee

Several weeks ago my wife passed away and I called AT&T to discontinue her cell phone service. I told the person on the phone that I wanted to discontinue the phone and at the same time purchase an apple watch. He said that I could go into the AT&T store in Heath, Ohio and take care of there would be no activation fees. We were eligible for an upgrade.
At the store the sales person stated that there would be an activation fee because it was the store and company policy.
I was an AT&T customer for many years and updated many phones without fees.
Beware because they will tell you one thing to get you in the store and do something completely different.

AT&T att mobile

I called att mobile on July 18, 2019 to upgrade my phone. I was told that I qualified for a buy one get one free promotion. I was told that my husbands number could be transferred to the free phone. Before the conversation was over, the lady told me the free phone would have a new number so my husband said he would change his number. I was told that my average bill would be $165 per month.
I called today to see why my bills are so high; Last month $250, this month $313. The representative Julie told me that I'm paying for two $800 phones, that I did not qualify for the buy one get one free promotion. I asked to speak to someone in management. Someone named Kenzie came onto the phone, she used the word unfortunately a lot and talked in circles. She told me that this could not be fixed. I requested to speak to someone in upper management, she said I would be called back in 72 hours, but unfortunately they would tell me the same thing.

AT&T scam

We switched back to at&t mobile on 3/31/19 at Costco when they had a promotion to buy 1 phone get 1 free. We created 4 new lines. On 4/ 3at&t sent me a bill for 1882.79.
I called and spoke to a rep who could't locate the account # from the bill said don't worry about it she had another acct for me which was fine. Next thing I know I'm in collections, On May 9th after getting collections letter I called at&t couldn't locate #.Sent me to loyalty dept. Deborah said we received other phones like a total of 6. I said NO. It seems that costco created 2 different accounts, She checked somethng and said that one of the phones she could locate and gave me credit for it. Said if I could find other phone send it in she would give me credit to fix this. Grandson had phone never opened since he had phone I am paying for on my bill. I sent phone back on May 6th in packaing from at&t. you received 5/10. After many hours of phone calls finally found out on Sept 9th that had to due with the 2nd acct opened with costco which had been closed. Was told by supervisor that they would have this fixed in 24-48 hours. I called back 9/25 to find out that because phone was late going back my claim was denied. So they have phone and still want me to pay for it. None of this was my faault it was between costco and at&t, I told them if I;m paying for phone then I want the phone. After another 2 hours today another ticket was opened. Imtold everyone I spoke to the date it was sent back no one said anything about late date. So at& t has a good scam I pay for the phone never used and they can sell again to get double amount. To spend hours over days explaining situation over and over nothing was fixed, charging me 982.00

I returned the equipment per their instructions after cancelling my service.

I contacted them, tried to rectify the situation, and am left without options. To read the entire issue as well as a solution, please sign my change.org petition.

AT&T installation of the internet and phone service.

Hello my name is MIchael living in south Florida. On 9.2.19 I called in to place an order for service for internet and phone . After speaking with the gentlemen, he advised me that he would need to send me an email with the earliest available date. The date he game me was a week later on 9. 12.19. I was okay with the schedule appointment date. I received the call early that morning saying that someone was coming to my house for installation. I was not told that someone would be coming to my house so, that appointment was cancelled and rescheduled 9.20.19. Since I was aware that someone needed to be at home, I arranged for someone to sit in the house between the hours of 12-4pm I also altered my schedule from work just so I can be there and release the person who has been waiting on my behalf. I called to check if the service was completed I was told that no one showed up to do the service. I made a few calls until I was able to get a supervisor by the name of Vanessa who reschedule the service for Saturday 9.21.19. I waited all day for service to connected one Gentlemen came and left said he could not complete the work and that a master technician would need to come. They called in the specialist name Patrick he was an awesome guy full of wisdom and most importantly he took his time and did the rewiring that was necessary so that my installation could be completed. I called on Sunday for service to be rendered spoke with Jonathan when I asked for a supervisor he pressed the button down several time and hung up the phone. I call back spoke with Joe requested a supervisor as soon as he heard my name he pressed the numbers on his phone and hung up the phone also. I called back spoke to jacqueline who transferred me to her supervisor name Rea who would not get the job done . I requested to speak to a manager and they all refused to put a manager on the phone. I spoke with another supervisor name Aldred Mata he said that he was the manager or Order processing. I repeated to him what he said . I said to him that your the manager of Order processing I need to have my order processed and you can't or won't do it his response was yes. His excuse was he could not override the system. In conclusion of this long exhausting complaint, I have yet to get service as if four weeks wasn't long enough now I am told that I have to wait until 9.25.19 for installation that should have been completed in one day. The overall level of help for this company is a minus 0000. I don't recommend the service to anyone if they want to continue to be in good health and not have to make daily or weekly phone calls. Customer Service is horrible . In the several times I called to get service all I heard was (I can't and I'm sorry). I was being told what was on a computer instead of being told how they were going to resolve the issue and the multiple inconveniences that has been placed on me the consumer. Horrible service, Horrible Customer Service. I wish I could speak to the CEO of the company and have him just listen to the calls that I had to take in order to get service after no one showed up on Friday 9.20.19 Jonathan and Joe don't belong in customer service they don't know the meaning of putting the customer first they are robotic to a job and that is all they know no empathy, however really quick to say I'm sorry I can't do that or this can't be done. I've encountered many people before and I never treated them this poorly as I have been treated. I can't even give this company 1 star because nothing was done right. Calling into Customer service is a nightmare.

AT&T service suck

I ordered a phone on September 4. O ordered the iPhone XR in yellow. About a week and a half after I had been without a phone I called to check the status on my phone and was then told it would be here in a day. When it did not show up we called again and then they said it was on back order and would TAKE MONTHS! No one told me the phone I ordered could take months to get to me while I was ordering and then they lied about when it would get to me. We were then told an iPhone XR in white would be expedited to me because of the inconvenience and would arrive the next day. 4 days later the phone is still not here and each time we call we are told we will get it "tomorrow". While the representatives are nice, they just keep [censored]ing lying to me. I've had to start a new job and not know how to get there, not be able to view my schedule for either of my jobs, been driving around without a phone, and being without the general functions of a phone for 2 weeks. I just want to not be lied to and be able to feel safe knowing I have the ability to call people when I need to. Dont order a phone from AT&T they will [censored] you over.

AT&T account number [protected]

This account was supposed to be closed in June. It apparrently wasn't even though I moved and had a different provider. I will not pay for a mistake by someone there. I also went to the hospital in June for an extended stay due to a pulmonary embolism that almost killed me. Because I could not follow up, you kept the account active in an attempt to extort more money from me. I am permanently disabled and I cannot afford extra money going out. This account should be closed with a zero balance. Again, this should have happened months ago. It has taken me more than three times as long to type this than it should because of my health. Make this go away.

AT&T internet

Due to a move, I called AT&T to cancel my internet service for the business at the first of July. I spent 1 hr and 20 mins. on the phone. Account no. is [protected]. After receiving another Bill I called again and was told there was no record of my cancellation and I would have to pay for not only July and August but also for through the end of my billing cycle in September. I spent 1 hr and 10 mins. on the phone again and then switched to another person who had no idea who I was. They said there was no record of my calls and I did not write down the original reference number. This is infuriating to endure. They also told me that I would continue to pay until they received the router which I took to UPS at the beginning of the month but they had no tracking on that. UPS informed me that they had seen it take months, at times, to resolve that.

On 9/10 my internet stopped working which also means my cable stopped working since it runs off my internet. ATT was notified via phone on 9/10 and scheduled a technician to come out on 9/11. On 9/11 a tech came out and was at my house for less than 10 minutes. He said it was the main line and he had to send out another department. He told us the issue would be fixed the same day which was 9/11. As of 9/12 the issue was not fixed so I call ATT. They told me the tech put the ticket in the system wrong and they would have to enter a new ticket and the issue should be fixed within 24 hours. On 9/13 (24 hours later) the issue was not fixed and so I called ATT once again. They could not find any ticket in my account and said they would have to create a new ticket. I spoke with a supervisor and he gave me ticket number A925R and said it would be fixed once again within 24 hours. Now it is 9/15 (48 hours later) the issue is still not fixed. Once again I have to call ATT and they said the ticket number I was given is not a valid ticket number and there is no ticket fir my account. I have now been without service for almost a week. I have 2 adults and 6 children in my house. One adult who works from home and has had to use her phone hotspot which is very slow. I have 3 teenagers who need to do school work from home and have also had to use their hotspots. I have spent at 5-10 hours on the phone with ATT to try and resolve this issue. This is the worst customer service I have experienced ever! I have ATT cable, internet, alarm and 7 cellphones. I will be looking for new services for all. ATT has no regard for their customer and clearly the employees have no idea what they are doing.

AT&T new prepaid service.

Ordered AT&T $25 / 8gb per month pre-paid online promotion September 10, 2019.
Received and installed sim September 13, 2019.
First, instructions included with sim had no relevance to the promotion. Dialed 611 and was told via automated service I had no balance paid and needed to pay. $300 plus tax already on Master Card! Managed to get a live person who said he found the problem. They were correcting the billing issue, shutdown phone now, restart in 15 minutes and you will have your service. Didn't happen. Left it off, tried again. Nothing. Called again and it was inferred I needed to contact my credit card company. I did. To my surprise their support was working late and said there are no pending charges. So who's not doing their job?
I'm thinking I should have gone with a MVNO that wants my business.

AT&T wireless phone service/upgrade

I contacted ATT online chat to clarify info regarding upgrading my phone

I am including transcript of the conversation I had with 2 people(one was supposedly a manager)

I contacted ATT because a year ago when I signed up for service I told them I wanted the plan where I could upgrade my phone every 12 months if I so chosen... As you will see in the transcript below, the manager acknowledges that ATT basically lied to me hen I signed up and I m forced to pay almost $600 to upgrade
——————————
AT&T: Welcome to AT&T Chat. While we connect you to an agent, please share how we can help you today?
Jeff: i have an iPhone xrmax and when I signed up last year I told them I wanted the plan with the ability to upgrade my phone yearly if I chose to... I checked my upgrade eligibility and it says I have to pay an additional $580 on top of the $576 I have paid in installments?
Jeff: If I chose to switch carriers, what would the cost be?
Harry Moore: Hi! My name is Harry Moore. I'm happy to help! Let's get started.
Harry Moore: Please give me a moment to review your request.
Harry Moore: Jeff, we do not wish to loose valued customer like you please be assured I will provide you best resolution on upgrade
Harry Moore: Jeff, I see your device is under 30 months installment and currently you are on 12th of 30th months installment and you pay $48.34 / mo
Harry Moore: so as per the contract policy you will be able to upgrade your device only after completing 25th installment of 30
Harry Moore: So the charge $579.91 if you pay this it will cover installments up to 25th months and you will be eligible for upgrade it
Harry Moore: But no worries I am checking other options for you
Jeff: That makes no sense... if I signed up for a plan to upgrade yearly, you are basically telling me that I can't without a heavy penalty
Harry Moore: No this is not penalty however the mobile cost instead we are not even charing you other 5th installment payments, let me check other better options
Jeff: i signed up to upgrade yearly and you are telling me I have to wait until the 25th month?
Harry Moore: That is correct because the yearly upgrade comes with 24 months installment however you have 30 months installment plan
Harry Moore: I am checking other options
Harry Moore: Which will be better without any charges
Jeff: ok... let's see what you can offer...
Harry Moore: Thank you.
Harry Moore: Please allow me a moment to check this for you.
Jeff: ok
Harry Moore: Thank you.
Harry Moore: Jeff, I am sorry to inform you that you won't be able to upgrade until and unless you pay up till 25th month or wait since you are on the 30 months plans, but I am transferring tis chat to manager for further details
Harry Moore has left the chat
You are being transferred, please hold...
