AT&T reward rebate check

I submitted a rebate form to the ATT Reward Center on 4/4/09 after upgrading my internet to high speed internet. This was supposed to give me a check for $79.99 to offset the purchase of a modem that I got at the ATT store. I filled out all the forms including the serial number of the modem and mailed it in promptly. It said I'd receive a check in 4-6 weeks. A month went by and I called in to check. They said they got my form but it was missing the serial number. The rep said to just read it to him and he'll re-enter it. I did so. The check he said would be in my mailbox in a week. Another month went by. I called again. They said they need me to fax the serial number in to them on a piece of paper. Even though this is the THIRD time I've given them this info, I fax it in along with a copy of the orginial serial number on the box. They said they got it and the check will be there in a week or so. Another month goes by. I call again. They apologize. They said they said it's still processing. Another month goes by. Now it's almost FIVE months since I submitted it.

This is a scam. I think they have no intention of paying and just hope consumers will give up . Don't get taken by any of their rebate offers. It's not worth it.

Join the club. All mail in rebates are a farce I don't care who offers it. You might as well figure the price you pay for the item had better be better than a competitors because the mail in will never happen. Once at Staples I bought the Tax software and I did get the rebate 6 months later after I told them I would go to the State AG and place an internet site about them.

ATT Advertised $200 Rebate If I signed up on line w/3 services...
and get $30 off for 6 months. They gave me only $100 rebate
and told me that the $30 for 6 months was $280 total back---they
falsly advertised the Rebate Offer. I ahve 2 other friends who received
1/2 of the Rebate also...Shouldve stayed with TimeWarner at least
they were honest!

I am with you Eric from CA.
I am in the same situation, third time already, with ATT wireless rebate. After sending all documentation as requested, I got a letter about information missing. After calling and complaining (35 mins phone call) they just apologize and verify my rebate. I am still waiting for my money.

This is a big SCAM and I do not understant how ATT allow this. We are customers.

AT&T falsei equipment rebate offer

This last July, a friend told me about very inexpensive [$10.00/month] DSL Internet service through ATT, with whom I already had a land-line phone account at my apartment. I went to their website, where I located the offer, and entered my info, and I qualified for their " online only" deal which stated that I would need to purchase their Netgear router/modem, and install it myself. [$79.99], and pay for the UPS shipping charges.[$12.99], but that the modem cost was guaranteed to be 1oo percent rebatable, and yes, it was only $10.00 a month.
One of the first downsides to the deal was that I had to wait roughly two weeks for the modem to arrive; but I reasoned that the low cost was the tradeoff.
In about 7 days I received a 'Order Confirmation' letter in the mail. Right away, there was a problem; the letter stated that the Internet Sevice would be charged at $34.95 a month. No, no, I called Customer Service, who told me "Oh, just ignore that; you will get the $10.00 per month deal because you ordered the service online."
On the day the equipment was due to arrive, the afternoon passed without a UPS delivery, so I called them in order to obtain a tracking number. [I regularly receive shipments at my address from both UPS and FedEX]
That's when I'm told that ATT had left my apartment number off of the package ship-to info, therefore it was undeliverable. But UPS offerred to hold the package, where I could retrieve it with the proper ID.[Opeb till 8 pm]
OK, so I drove over to the UPS facility that evening, an 8 mile round trip. I hooked it up, and at about 11PM discovered that the modem was not receiving a signal.
The next morning I called Customer Service to troubleshoot the connection.
I explained the delivery problem, and the Customer Service guy says" Wait a minute; being that your Apartment number was omitted, that alters the signal; you can keep that modem, but we need to cancel that order, and re-issue a new order with the correct apartment number. "Are you ready? An 'activation signal date' TWO WEEKS down the road!
These events replayed over again during the ensuing 15 days; another 'Confirmation Order' with the wrong monthly[higher] rate, confused telephone support staff, and delay after delay to receive service.
Now, 2 months later, I was informed that a Rebate Application form was mailed to me [I have not received anything]...and the final last straw?
A supervisor informed me today that "Internet orders are not eligible for the $79.99
Rebate!"
All in all, I was lied to, misdirected, treated to ineffectual, poor customer service, and repeatedly given the wrong information.
Maybe those $10. deals prevent ATT from providing training to competent customer service people...I'd better send them a little extra...

AT&T att yahoo yahoos

When at&t absorbed bellsouth, i said, uh - oh. When i saw that at&t email was now powered by yahoo, i said, uh - oh. And sure enough. . . Since last week, about the time i got an email from at&t announcing big improvements, i learned that one of my very important contacts was having trouble emailing me, that her messages to me were being bounced back. Over the years, i've had trouble periodically with contacts who used yahoo, and i myself would not use it. Well, now i seem to be using it - - and it sucks. Meanwhile, trying to contact at&t with my complaint is an exercise in futility.

AT&T reward money not being sent

I previously had Comcast cable service and when I received a letter from Comcast regarding an increase in price for its services, I started to look at the competition. I chose AT&T because a brochure discussed U-Verse, the channels that were available, and the "rewards" that were available for choosing different levels of service.

I decided to check out their offerings online and while online there was an opportunity to chat with someone from AT&T. I discussed the changes I was thinking about (U-Verse, internet, and telephone) and she told me because I was choosing a certain level of U-Verse service (the 200 package) the most she could offer was a $100 reward. I told her based on that, I would just stay with Comcast. She then answered back (again in the chat) that she would offer an additional $100 through her department if I chose to switch to AT&T at that time. I agreed and asked if the total reward would then be $200. She said yes so I changed services to AT&T at that point. I was told that I would receive the rewards in the mail within 4-6 weeks.

About 6 weeks later I get a reward slip that I need to login to the AT&T Rewards Center to cash in. Well, the reward was only for $50. So I called AT&T and explained the situation to them and oh by the way I saved the chat with Sally when I signed up with their services where she said I would be receiving $200. They said they would have to look into it and would give me a call. They said that my service was installed on July 30, 2009 and since I've only had the service for a couple of weeks, I did not yet qualify. I told them that my service was actually installed June 13, 2009 and I could provide the backup to show that date if need be. They said that they would look into it and give me a call. Well, they didn't call but they sent a postcard saying I was ineligible for the reward. So I called again and was told that they would look into it and that I should receive a phone call back. This time they left a message on my phone saying I was ineligible. The problem is that neither time did they explain why I was ineligible and when I spoke to a customer service representative, they could not tell me why I was ineligible.

So, I called one more time and was told that they would process 2 separate $100 payments because one employee could not process both. Gheeez. Two days ago I get another message on my phone saying that I am ineligible for the rewards. The only thing is AT&T has never told me why. When I call they just tell me that they have to have an "investigation" to look into it. Hmmmm. I changed my internet, cable, and home phone over to new AT&T services and I did everything the original customer service person asked so that I would be eligible for the rewards.

I feel duped and am completely disgusted with the lack of customer service and the flat out lying by the AT&T representatives that entice you to switch to their service and then do not follow through on their promises. Again, I've saved the chat and I suppose I should send that to the CEO to see if that gets me anywhere.

AT&T customer service incompetence

AT&T customer service simply will not resolve issues. They pass you from one rep to another in an effort to frustrate you into abandoning you effort to recover overcharges. I have spent over 4 hours each time I call being passed from department to department without finding a single individual within AT&T who can actually resolve an issue.

It is my belief that their corporate strategy is to maintain income flow by any means necessary. Customers are just revenue streams.

We had been automatically paying our AT & T bill,
till we discovered many fluctuating amounts, & decided to review bill & no longer allow automatic payment. We discovered chgs. never approved for insurance on our cell phone (savingcontact numbers)when we would question these varying chgs, we were chgd. $10.00, ( calling it change of order chgs.) We had other varying amounts, that were not explained. Started leaving our bundling plan, & the fun began.
On our last bill we cancelled long distance & bought magicJack for long distance calls. WE were never given name of employee or I D # to refer to these changes. Upon review of our bill we found long distance was not removed. Called back 3rd or 4th time & asked for a supervisor, again a generic person
was told they would hang up on me, if I continued explaining problem, I was never rude, perhaps spoke a little loudly due to frustration. telephone co. connected me to repair (why). it was several hrs. of
continuous pleading to try to fine out what was going on. I gave them my magicjack phone #, to show I did not have nor need their long distance services, plus my cell phone also has more minutes for us to use, then I ever can. Still has not been rectified, & frustration
is overwhelming. I am 73 yrs. old. & do not need this unnecessary expense, nor frustration with such a lg. conglomerate. Please help

AT&T double billing

My account number is [protected] and it has been brought to my attention that at&t has sent me to your department for collections. I do not feel that I am responsible to pay this bill twice. I had closed out my bundle package with at&t some time ago at that time at&t sent a forward bill to each company IE dish net work, at&t cell phone center enter net company ETC. I was then billed for each service separately through the private companies. I am now being doubled billed by at&t for said services. This is an unfair billing practice and illegal.

Thank You For Your Time.
Christine Bias.

I called for services in February 2010, I wanted a home phone w/internet after I set up services and paid a $50dollar deposited and was asked to pay $175 for the internet I was given a date of activation. However, I never received the phone or the internet services. Week after the week I called asking someone to fix the problem, final I got fed up and told them I didn't want the services, and I wanted a refund of my deposits money. However, it has been 3 months and I still haven't received any money.

AT&T service has been goofing around the customer's busy life to read all small letter. They never explained to me in regard to the penalty and credit I earned but when I disconnected the line it became more than double of a single monthly bill including the penalty. AT&T wants to kick out the customer forever. I am trying to the way to stop them doing aggressively. I am so unhappy wiht AT&T service and complicated bills. Is there anyone who can understand the bill wihtout detailed helps?

AT&T doesn’t allow the consumer a paper trail to show proof of anything. It’s left to a “consumer said, AT&T said… With no proof, AT&T knows they will win most of the time. This is why you will notice that they can add other things to your bill that you didn’t order to jack up the cost and add money to AT&T coffers.

You can never speak to the same representative that supposedly fixed the problem. You always have to start over with a new representative. I believe this is a tactic use by AT&T to wear the consumer down so that he or she won’t fight anymore with AT&T and just except the problem and sometimes pay the larger bill.

You will never receive confirmation of a problem/issue in detail being worked on nor exactly what was to be fixed in detail or that it was resolved via an email, mail, etc. Therefore that leaves you without proof. I had received a reference number but I’ve found out later that they change some of the information on it from time to time. It’s all computer driven leaving you (the consumer) with a leg to stand on when trying to get them to admit to ANYTHING! It’s rigged from the start!

I would love to take AT&T to court, but I don’t have anything in writing from what I agreed to when first starting up my service with AT&T. I’ve seen enough court shows to indicate that if you don’t have anything in writing, you WILL lose your case. Once again, AT&T wins (though deception) and the consumer loses…

The best way to kill a snake is to cut off the head. AT&T’s head is MONEY… Therefore, it’s up to us to go to cable, satellite, etc services anything AT&T doesn’t have its greedy hands in. There are a lot of services out there to replace AT&T. I’ve change services and it’s been great! No more problems :)

I called and a foreign man calling himelf Andy John said that I had won $75, 000 and I need to deposit this $3, 700 check into my bank account then call him back for further instructions...I told him that this is a scam and he said if I think that this is a scam then throw away the check as if he was intimidating me... So I laughed and told him try this scam on a fool because I am not one! I just can't believe the people out there running these scams!

I just got one for $3, 700, so the price is going up. When I get things like this that are emails, I forward it to the government phishing site, which is report@us-cert.gov . They don't answer, but I assume they keep it in a file.
These fraudulent letters should indeed go to the post office, even if they act like they aren't interested, it is their duty to report them. When you get a letter like this, check the language. If it sounds like it was written by someone who is not a native English speaker, be cautious. If they are giving you lots of money, be cautious. A lot of these come from overseas.
Any more, if I sign up for a magazine or enter a drawing or fill in a form online, I put a hint in the way I spell my name so I know if they sold my name. For instance, if I enter to win a car, I write my name as Jane Car Doe. If I find someone has sold my name, I complain and make sure I never let them near my info again.
Also, I understand that you can lock up your credit. You contact the credit agency and they can tell you how. You have to contact them again to unlock it, but if you are going to apply for a new credit card or loan, you can unlock it ahead of time. This way no one can open an account in your name. DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR ANY BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS (other than the credit bureaus). If you are reading this, someone already knows your name and address. Put those together with your social and you have really big problems!

I recieved a check for $3700 this weekend. I thought it looked too good to be true. As soon as I saw the holy spirit uttered to me a gift distroys the soul. So I called my accountant this morning and my bank and they advised that there was a scam going around where they are sending checks to people. So I decided to check the internet. I called to so-called foster bank three times and asked for a branch manager. Each time a foreigner answered the phoned and twice it was the same person although I called two different number. Every time I asked for the branch manager they acted as if I had the plague. I left a message for someone but got nowhere. So I dedcided to look further and here i find a long list of complaints about the very situation. Thank God for the guidance of the Holy Spirit or I would have been caught up into quite a mess. I am contacting the State's attorney's office for my state and submitting a copy of the check to the post office. I suggest that all of those who recieve one do the same.

Looked it up right away didn't even call and sure enough here it is. The check does look official and the Bank is in Chicago but if you look at the payer on check it is from H MART MIDWEST CORP.dba SUPER H MART, the Foster bank branch that the check is cut from is called H MART and the addresses are the same. These criminals aren't trying very hard these days and it's sad that people are dumb or desperate enough to actually fall for this crap :/

I was excited for a bit too but then I checked with the better business bureau and the sent me an e-mail saying not to cash any checks coming from any where outside the states. There's been alot of fraud checks coming in the mail and they advise people to ignore all mail with checks, e-mails and phone solicitations for foreign lottery promotions.

AT&T total rip-off

they suckered my girlfriend into delivering att phonebooks in the local area, promising wage, milage, and a bonus for correct delivery. the results were a job that one person couldnt do alone, so 2 people, getting paid $1.47 per hour. the milage racked up in in a 1993 ford explorer was 115 miles, because the supplied map was incorrect, at $2.64 per gallon and according to their computer, thats $14.75... not by my calculator. that leaves $71 for labor and bonus. the job took 4 days of 6 hours each day making a grand total of $ 1.47 per hour counting the bonus. with the loss of $36 on the fuel. no matter how you cut it thats A RIP OFF.

AT&T fraudsters

I called Cingular to change my monthly billing from the $59.00 to the $39.00 plan since I never use all my minutes and had over 1200 rollover minutes stored up. I was informed that I would lose all but 400 of my rollover minutes because of a new rule that went into effect October, 2009. I was planning to have the rollover minutes augment my new $39.00 plan. I was told by the sales person at Cingular when I signed up for their service that I could change to a lower monthly rate after I had saved enough rollover minutes. This is clearly a case of false advertising and the new rules should apply to customers who sign on after the new rules take affect and not to those who signed on prior to these new rules. How can we take these criminals to task? Why can these companies to get away with this type of fraud. Something concrete should be done about this or else there will be many like me joining the list.

AT&T don&t shop here! they will steal your money.

Buyer Beware! They will try to scam you out of your money by tricking you into purchasing then not following the return policy. I went into the AT&T store located on Ogden Ave in Downers Grove, IL. I was looking for chargers for my cell phone, one for the car and one travel charger to plug into the wall. I told the associate what I was looking for and asked him to help in finding the right ones. He clained there was no such thing as a fold up travel charger for the phone. I told him that I just broke mine so I know there was and I was looking for a replacement. He changed his tune and then said he didn't have that one in stock but I could come back later. He said he did have the car charger. I told him I was going to be traveling and needed them both today & asked him to call another store to check. He was reluctant to call but did and was able to find another store (Radioshack) that had them both. I told him I would just go and get them both there but he convinced me to buy the one from him so I did. I was starting to think maybe they are on commision and thats why he was so pushy. I asked him about the return policy and he said I had 30 days to return it.
I then drove to Radioshack to get he other charger. When I got there I decided I should try to plug in the AT&T charger to make sure it fit my phone. It did not. So I went into the Radioshack store and was greeted by a friendly associate who helped me to find the travel charger that I was unable to get at the other store. Since I was there I decided to check on the other car charger as well. Which they did have in stock and it was only 19.99 compared to 29.99 at the AT&T store. So I bought it.

I then drove back to the AT&T store and told the associate that had originally helped me that the one he gave me did not fit and I wanted to get my money back. He tries to talk me into an exchange but I told him a already picked one up at the other store & did not want to be driving all over for returns. After all it was his error giving me the wrong one. Now he says that I will be charged a restocking fee if I return it. At no time was this ever mentioned before when I asked him about the return policy and I had only bought it an hour before and it was his mistake in giving me the wrong one. He said its on my receipt so I went to go outside to get my receipt. By this time I was getting very angry. I looked at the receipt and it says "A 15% restocking fee will apply to handsets originally purchased without a new service and all accessories with damaged packaging". This item is clearly not a handset it is an accessory and I brought it back within 1 hour of purchase in the exact same packaging they gave it to me. So I was livid.
I called the corporate AT&T customer service line on the phone as I sat in the parking lot and asked them about the return policy. He said that didn't sound right and that he would add a comment to my account for the store to refund me without charging the restocking fee. He held on the line as I went back in to readdress the situation with the store. I asked to speak to the manager this time and the same associate said he was the manager. He was very young and I was reluctant to believe that AT&T would have such an unprofessional college kid running the store. His name was Chris Massey which I later found on my receipt. I told him about the call I had made and that it was listed on my account that there should be no restocking fee. He said he didn't have to follow that because he was an independent not corporate store. Can you believe this! I then asked the AT&T customer service rep that was still holding ont he phone to speak with him directly. He did and it was clear that this person was not going to do anything to rectify the situation whatsoever. He told AT&T CS rep the same thing he told me that he didn't need to follow those rules. He said it was right on the receipt which I showed him and asked him to show me where. He referd to the same line I quoted above and I asked him if he needed me to translate for him in case he didn't comprehend the writing on the recepit which clearly states that I can return it within 30 days if packaging is not damamged, which it wasn't. He gave me back the phone & walked away to hpel another customer. The CS rep on the line was shocked and could believe this so he said just to return it and told me he would credit my account back for the restocking fee and a few dolars extra for my trouble.
The store "manager" then helped several other customers while ignoring me as I waited by his desk for him to return to finish with my return. As I waited I heard him treat several other customers the same as he did to me. In one case he was stating that a phone can't be repaired even though it was only a year old and they would have to buy another one. How rude can this guy really be! Are they that desperate for a few bucks that they want an immediate sale versus building a long term client relationship. Not sure where he learned his customer service skills but I am embarrassed for AT&T and shocked that they would want to be assoiciated in any way with this store. Anyway I did get my refund (minus the restocking fees) and will NEVER shop at this store again. I would recommend that everone stay away from this store and especially this so called "manager"!

If it helps...I have been a customer at this store over the years, & they are as good as it gets when it comes to phone stores, & I think some of that is shown by the reply given by the owner who obviously cares about how people perceive his business .
I have also had experience with Chris, whom has since moved on to another location, my experience was totally different, I was looking for a ring tone that was not readily available, Chris took several hours the following day, found it called me and downloaded it to my phone for me...great service, the other guys are excellent as well...always willing to help in a nice atmosphere...go there and form your own opinion.

This customer gave us the wrong phone information, which is why the charger did not work. We offered to rectify the situation by exchanging the charger for the right one. Also, she came in and threw the charger at the salesperson hitting him in the neck with the car charger so she's lucky that she got away with any of her money back after that situation. The police could have been called and then she would have a lot of court fees to handle instead of the 15% restocking fee. The other situation involving the phone that "can't be repaired" was a physically damaged phone. Physical damage voids the one year warranty that is given by the manufacturer. If there was a defect in the phone without the phone being damaged, the customer could have replaced their phone under AT&T's warranty procedures. Before you slander a business or a person's name, maybe you should get the whole story and/or know what you're talking about. The lesson of the day is: If you come into a store and throw an item at a salesperson, you're probably going to have to pay atleast a restocking fee.

AT&T unauthorized billing

In late October, I ordered AT&T internet service; 3 days later after ordering the service on the internet, I cancelled my order. I received a better deal with Comcast, plus, I remembered how displeased I was with their service when I lived in Memphis, TN. About 2 weeks later I received a call from a technician who told me he was on his way to set up my phone line. I told him not to come because I cancelled that order/service/account in October, which they failed. He then apologized and told he would not come since I cancelled. About a month later I received two bills from AT&T. This confused me because I cancelled before ever receiving anything. I had Comcast. I called customer service explaining to them that I cancelled before my package was even mailed off. They apologized and told me they would cancel the accounts. This is when I asked them “How did I get two accounts in my name?” They continued to apologize and told me not to worry about anything, I owed nothing, there was NO usage on my accounts, and that they would cancel them both. Well, only one account got cancel and the other did not.
They have been charging me ever since for a service I have NEVER had. Every time I have called AT&T concerning this issue, I have been told that the accounts would be closed and I would no longer be charged. I kept receiving bills every month from AT&T on those two accounts, and every time I would receive the bills, I would repeat the process of calling customer service and the cancellations department to address this issue, only to be told the same thing, stated above: “The accounts will be closed and I would no longer be charged.” This issue is, in my opinion, negligence on AT&T’s behalf and I should not be dealing with this issue, especially after being told by the customer service department that they have seen NO sign of usage whatsoever. I have the term of my Comcast contract showing that I have always had Comcast during my stay in Atlanta, GA and the notes in my “supposed” AT&T account should show the dates and times that I have called about this issue and their response. I pray that this issue can be resolved in a professional manner.

AT&T harrassment, slander false acusations

I am a dis abled veteran . several years ago I went through the michigan rehabilitation program to attempt my buisness. An unbelievable amount of strange events took place to hinder the buisbess . A radiator hose unexpectedly blew off an engine severly burning my face and eardrum leaving me deaf in that ear. lost time is a major problem . More lost time was a result of an ear drum surgery, 3 months 10lb restriction, several months later a high speed chase by police trying to catch asuspected drug dealer crashed through my rented facility. this accident cost more than 4 months lost as the building was condemed until repairs to the building were completed and inspected by city authority. the next issue that ended my buisness attempt completely was the fact that 6 weeks after renewing my yellow pages add, aprox. $600.oo contract I was not able to renew my rental agreement, with no for warning. now after all this hardship I sacraficed a great deal to subsidize the buisness with mydisability income. now being financially ruined, Att has been ruthless with the wild and false accusations that this debt has been neglected. I was forced by ATT collection authority, in order for them to accept any payments from me I need to contract a debt consolidation company.

Now after 16 months of consistant payments there are only 2 payment left my debt agency, and myself have had to respond to23 letters in the last 6 months we both have discused the remaining debt of 210.39 at least 30 times just recently . All the while they contine to recieve $75.00 a month just in last few days ATT transfered my account to I.C.systems inc. they are currenly making wild accusations calling me 4 to 6 time a day stating I have neglected my obligations severely also stating that they do not work with debt consolidation companies like mine Which I was tottaly forced by att to contract an agency or no payments would be accepted this situatin has caused, aggravated post traumatic stress diorder and the medical bills prescriptions counselin, and phsychiatrist visits .

AT&T billing costs

I have been very happy with my Uverse. I was offered the $200 when signing up. Yes there was some work done to get this- waiting for the appropriate time to do it etc. but I did receive it. Read the fine print and bug the hell out of them if needed.

My complaint now is a 40% increase in the monthly cost of the individual boxes. I had 10 tv's, but didn't feel the need to spend $5/mo. per box so I only got 5 boxes (one included). ATT went up to $7 per box. x 4 is an additional $8/mo. a 40% INCREASE! Don't like it!

AT&T don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you

Have you recently experienced more drop calls or bad reception on your cell phone or has your so called high speed DSL slowed down to a crawl? If you are an ATT customer, you know what I mean. I've been talking with a few friends of mine who also had ATT and I have noticed a pattern. Whenever ATT wants to sell you a new phone or force you to make a long term commitment by signing a contract or perhaps "upgrade" your DSL to a higher speed you will experience "technical difficulties". Yeah, for sure it's ATT's technique and your difficulties.

It all starts so gradually that you hardly notice. You can't pinpoint the date or the time but ATT can. You notice a subtle progression of the problems so eventually you think it's your equipment. You wonder if maybe a new battery will take care of it. Perhaps you've got a bug in your computer, so after many hours of frustration and money you get mad enough to call ATT and then ...you know the rest of the story. You got sucked into a 2 year contract, a new phone and the higher speed on your DSL and things get back to the way it was before. All of your "technical difficulties" are resolved.

It's a matter of simple economics. ATT needs more revenue, new corporate jet vacations in Vegas, perhaps even bad investment with Bernie Madoff and you and I, as valued customers of ATT, will pick up the tab. ain't that interesting?! Well, that ain't gonna fly with me no more MR.! I am mad as hell and I am not gonna take it any more! And neither should you! If you are an ATT customer, don't allow them to ask "what can I do for u?" Tell them what you want and if they can't accommodate you tell them there are others who can. I know change might seem difficult, after all "what's a few dollars more?" or "they are all the same" and that's what ATT is banking on. Trust me, the switch is much easier than you think. With true switch everything is easy and you get to keep your old phone and number if you have a sim card. Your email and notebook moves with you too. Shop around. Find a carrier you are comfortable with and don't sign up for anything, only month to month as long as they treat you right, you stay with them. And when they start messing with you, tell them "seeeeeee you". Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!

Has anyone ever noticed that after you supposedly get something resolved, it comes back unresolved or another problem rears its ugly head with AT&T..? Plus, just try getting them to stand behind what they tell you over the phone (in WRITING) when they supposedly fix it. They won't send you anything (email, mail, etc) confirming the problem was there nor fixed (and later you WILL find out it wasn't fixed after all)...

Just try getting the same representative you spoke to the first time when trying to resolve the problem/issue….It isn’t going to happen!… AT&T never lets you speak to the same representative that you had spoken too earlier.
I’ve tried too (it was even in the same identical department) and I was told that they are not allowed too by AT&T. They told me that I had to talk to the person at hand, of course this causing me to start all over with an existing/old problem.

What I’ve found out that AT&T NEVER leaves a paper trail in the consumers hands of a problem/issue being worked on nor what it was about and specially ever being resolved. Therefore, as most of you all ready know, that the same problem or new problem that AT&T creates shows up and you have no proof of what was discussed earlier to resolve the problem.

This just leaves you more frustrated only to start all over working on the same problem/issue and/or sometimes a new problem that AT&T created (and a bigger bill) with new representative.

I thought in the beginning I was the only one going through this. I just couldn’t understand why my problem wasn’t being resolved even when the representative said they fixed it. It would always come back NOT fixed. Just as if I never had spoken to them. A friend of mine, I’ve since talked too, had somewhat the same problem with AT&T. He told me to check out the internet on AT&T and the problems others are having. It’s simple to find out… just GOOGLE “AT&T problems” and later try “AT&T complaints” and see it for yourself. I couldn’t believe it! AT&T is a scamming company… And how they do it while just staying within the law is that they never leave a paper trail in the consumer’s hands. Therefore, we are back to “he said, she said”. This doesn’t take a rocket scientist… AT&T is infact slick…

To recap:
AT&T doesn’t allow the consumer a paper trail to show proof of anything. It’s left to a “consumer said, AT&T said… With no proof, AT&T knows they will win most of the time. This is why you will notice that they can add other things to your bill that you didn’t order to jack up the cost and add money to AT&T coffers.

You can never speak to the same representative that supposedly fixed the problem. You always have to start over with a new representative. I believe this is a tactic use by AT&T to wear the consumer down so that he or she won’t fight anymore with AT&T and just except the problem and sometimes pay the larger bill.

You will never receive confirmation of a problem/issue in detail being worked on nor exactly what was to be fixed in detail or that it was resolved via an email, mail, etc. Therefore that leaves you without proof. I had received a reference number but I’ve found out later that they change some of the information on it from time to time. It’s all computer driven leaving you (the consumer) with a leg to stand on when trying to get them to admit to ANYTHING! It’s rigged from the start!

I would love to take AT&T to court, but I don’t have anything in writing from what I agreed to when first starting up my service with AT&T. I’ve seen enough court shows to indicate that if you don’t have anything in writing, you WILL lose your case. Once again, AT&T wins (though deception) and the consumer loses…

The best way to kill a snake is to cut off the head. AT&T’s head is MONEY… Therefore, it’s up to us to go to cable, satellite, etc services anything AT&T doesn’t have its greedy hands in. There are a lot of services out there to replace AT&T. I’ve change services and it’s been great! No more problems :)

AT&T damaged phone pole in front of my home

For 5yrs. ive owned my home and today ive tried to set up another work order to get this fixed...i dont have an acount with them. The issue realy is this pole directly in front of my home.
Previously, i asked at&t to send someone out to fix this pole which was hit by a car about 6-7yrs ago. Now this pole is deteriorating and hanging about 3-5 inches away from a large tree branch that could potentially come crashing through my front room once this this give way. I suppose that to at&t techs so long as the line is working it looks good from their home.

Disgruntled AT&T Premier customer
Deer Park, US
Jul 15, 2009 4:35 pm EDT

I have been an AT&T customer for about ten years now. I put in a pre-order for the new iPhone 3GS on the AT&T Premier website through my dad's corporate website. I understood would have a backlog. I didn't mind the backlog because that meant I would get the new phone without the hassle of going to the AT&T or Apple store. What I don't understand is the statement that was put on my order that I would receive the phone in 7-14 days when that is not even close to the truth.

I put my order in on June 15, 2009. The phone was not to be released until June 19, 2009. I called on June 25, 2009 to find out the order of the status. I just wanted to know if I could expect the phone in the next two months. I wanted to just get an idea of the backlog time. After being on hold for almost an hour, I spoke to a representative on the Premier line and they put me on hold to speak to a supervisor. I was on hold for over an hour and I gave up at that point. This was in the evening. I found out the next day that the line closes at 9PM or at least according to representative that I spoke to but there was no indication on the hold music or recording that representatives where no longer available after 9PM.

So the next day, June 26, 2009. I got on the phone after being on hold for about a half hour I spoke to the representative William. He told me that my order was "processed" on June 25, 2009. Now this made no sense to me since my order was put in on June 15th and the phone came out on June 19th. He got his supervisor on the phone immediately, Latasha Barnes. She told me that the 7-14 day statement that is made when you put your order in for the phone, is from the day the phone was released. According to her, I should expect my phone by July 3, 2009.

July 3, 2009 came and went and I really couldn't find time in my day to aggrevate myself and spend hours on the phone.

Finally on July 17, 2009 I made the dreaded call to AT&T Premier to find our the status of my phone. I immediately asked for Latasha Barnes the supervisor I spoke to on June 26th. He told me that he couldn't get to her because she's in a different office. I was shocked because I thought in 2009 there are company directories and office extensions. He did tell me that he could get me another supervisor so I was put on hold. AGAIN. After 45 minutes I picked up another phone and called the AT&T Premier line again. I got the representative Hooper Mills. He told me that he would take my number and have a supervisor call me. I am still waiting for that call. The other line I had on hold waiting for a supervisor went dead after an hour and half. So I called the AT&T Premier line again. This time I spone to Angela Alexander. I immediately told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor so I could get back in the queue. She said she had to look up my status order. She looked it up and told me that my order for the iPhone 3GS had been canceled!

So that's where I am right now. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation with AT&T Premier? I feel like a prisoner to them thright now after waiting a month for a phone I could have gotten weeks ago at a store.

AT&T horrible product

I usually don't go out of my way to post complaints, but there's only so a guy can take. The AT&T Uverse (Pverse seems more appropriate) is a sub standard product that AT&T is over selling. I received this call from AT&T promising a $200 gift card for switching from my current provider, Cox. I was told that the product would be equal to my current provider package at a savings of $50 month. This wasn't an intro rate either. Anyway, I went for the deal and regretted it beginning with the installation process. Only four of my five TVs worked when they were finished installing the goofy boxes. Then came the actual use of the system which was slow, lacked music channels, and had basic viewing channels spread out from 2-999. On day three, I told them to disconnect the service. I sent the equipment back via UPS, where the clerk that waited on me said people were returning these U verse products by to AT&T every week. It’s easy to understand why. Anyway I called Cox to ask for forgiveness. Cox was happy to have me back and came out and undid the damage ATT caused, and got all five of my TVs working at $0 cost.

AT&T super imposed advertising on tv

I am a sometimes a happy but most times unhappy Att customer. The problem I'm having this time is Att decided to super impose advertising on the TV. What this is actually is a Dominoes pizza advertisement that comes up between the movie you are watching and you. It is very annoying and the customer is having trouble being able to dismiss this message and get it off the screen. You have to call tech support, and we all know what a nightmare that is. So I spent a hour and a half trying to find out if they plan on continuing this type of marketing. But as usual with Att I was not able to get a straight answer, but was told to call this area or that area. I did but still no one had the answer.
So I must assume that this is a marketing plan and will continue to use it. So I am now looking for a new provider of services.

I started noticing a distinct downgrading of customer service in 1991 from AT&T through their telephone service. I had them for my home and business for decades. It took three years of frustration with them before I finally gave them up for another carrier. Two years ago I wanted to give them another try at earning and keeping my business. This time I did not wait a full three years. Their customer service not only did not improve but got worse if you can believe it. This time it only took me 1 1/2 years before I felt like the fool and canceled all their services again.
I understand that psychologically it is very difficult to switch from a company that you have been doing business with for years in hope that they will turn a new leaf and start to treat you better. This is known as the battered wife syndrome. Yes this does apply to other situations other then your marriage. This is what companies such as AT&T count on. They know you will eventually leave but they will try and get you to hold on as long as possible before you decide to drop their service. If you keep the service for anytime after you first call up to drop it, AT&T considers this a big win for them. Another words free money! Don't forget if they make an offer to you over the phone you have with thousands of others found out that it is not binding. You can request their offer in writing but will not get it.
In the 70's and 80's we use to have AT&T come into our offices and train our employees on the correct dicipline for telephone customer service. They were geniuses at it. Again as stated above I noticed that AT&T stopped utilizing their own company policies about telephone customer care and never looked back.

I have had uverse for a few years, i really like the dvr because you can record 4 shows at once but that is the only benefit. when I first signed on, they told me they were giving me a $150.00 rebate and sent me $50. when I called them, they told me I misunderstood. I thought it was just me until I read these other complaints, meanwhile my serivce seemed to get pricier and with the economy the way it is, I called and asked them to cancel my tv service and just keep my internet on, they told me if I keep the basic cable (which I am paying over $40.00 a month for_not even cnn or tnt) that they would give me a $25.00 credit on my acct. for the next 6 months, I agreed but never saw that credit, when I ask about, they act like I imagined it. Now my finances are slightly better and I want cnn added to my service, so when i talked with them today, Im told it will be over $50 dollars so, whatever, I want it so I said ok, but after being on hold for 10min, they came back and said I need a credit card on file, I gave them my visa debit card number but, no it has to be a real credit card, and I have canceled all my credit cards and they refuse to upgrade my service without a credit card. whateva!? I love my dvr from them and dont want to lose the saved recordings I have on them but Im going back to time warner asap. o and another thing, theirs system goes down alot and you have to be the one to reboot everything! Im learning to be a electrical tech, if anything!

I want to pay bill online sometimes but can't, when i try to talk to a customer service agent, i would get atitude from them or want to charge me a service fees for pay my bill. Most likely i will change my cable and dsl service with verizone or timewarner soon. I would rather have no service than go back to Att uverse again

I completely agree about the advertising, it's extremely annoying. I can usually get it off the screen but it's usually delayed and stays on a couple minutes before it finally goes away.

The only reason our household stays with U-Verse is because we're grandfathered into a deal and pay $20 less than what they offer now which adds up over time. But we've definitely had our share of problems with them.

AT&T fraudulent practices

I filed the following complaint with:

AT&T
FCC
Attorney General's Office
Better Business Bureau

I am SICK and tired of AT&T's underhanded practices...

I left AT&T because of past fraudulent practices. But AT&T bought out Cingular & I got stuck with them again. Lo'& behold AT&T is still up to their practices. 1) turning on features WITHOUT my authorization that I have implicitly blocked 2) charging me for the usage of said features. It is an ongoing monthly exercise of testing & checking to see if features have been turned on or charges have been inexplicably tacked on to my bill. I am in the process of an amicable divorce & the details of 15 years of marriage so lately I dropped the ball on babysitting this account. When I went to pay the bill this morning there were charges for $524.32! Upon calling AT&T I found out that INTERNET gateway was opened on my daughters phone June 1st WITHOUT my authorization. When my daughter saw the feature she thought I added unlimited. I have been so busy with the divorce she didn’t think to question it. I have filed a dispute but in my experience it will do no good. I want the ongoing fraud to stop!

They Stole Our Minutes!
hover, US
Jun 29, 2009 3:37 pm EDT

My daughter and i get 700 minutes a month. Usualy our bill consist of a $104.00 charge for both of us. This past month a charge came in for $387.74! You can imagine how shocking this bill comming in would be for me. Im a single, jobless, mother of two. We are fairly limmited. So I called the AT&T company and they said we had when over our minutes. On the AT&T website they have a "minutes detail" tab and you can sign up and see all of the minutes that you used. I looked at all of the minutes and i couldnt see where the minutes where comming from. however its there word agenst mine so i paid the bill and desided to keep up with our minutes from now on. I checked our minutes 2 days ago (6/26/09) and we both had 112 minutes to share. I told my oldest daughter to go easy on her anytime minutes because we only had 112 untill the 5th of July. The next day i checked the site and it said not only had we used our 112 minutes but we had also gone over 72 minutes! there was no way. I immediately called my daughter and asked if she had been on the phone, both her and her father told me her phone had been dead the whole day. so there was no way the minutes could have been used! i then checked the site and it said we had only used 12 minutes! i called the company as soon as i pulled it up and asked where all these extra minutes had come from and they had no explanation. AT&T no longer cares about any of there customers and is quick to chage you anywhere they can. Watch your billing.

AT&T scam charges

Att has offerd, through mail advertisements, a package of home phone, high speed internet and choice of wireless services for the price of $99.00. I called this morning to inquire and sign up because my current billing has increased to $162.69 for wireless service and home phone. Please note that I have a package that allows unlimited long distance so there is no additional charge for calling long distance. I live in a rural area and dsl nor cable is offered in this area. The service representive that I spoke to this morning informed me that I was not eligable for the $99.00 package because I could not purchase dsl but that is was fair that they charge me over $160.00 dollars for the two services that I have purchased. Something is wrong with this picture, , I feel discrimnated against and that again ATT is taking advantage of of the consumer. If dsl were offer in this area I would not have chosen the broadband service, which is much slower (though slightly faster than dial up).

AT&T bait & switch

AT&T Advertising calls me several times a week trying to upsell me on an Ad I already purchased. When I originally purchased the Ad I was told I had first page placement "Guarenteed". Now come to find out they have me on the second page and will not put me on the first until I pay them more money. This is an absolute bait and switch scam and I am unfortunately bound to my contract. DO NOT EVER ADVERTISE WITH AT&T. THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

AT&T Advertising's Yellowpages.com is the most worthless advertising investment a company could ever make. All a business needs is an updated Google Business listing which is 100% FREE. Keep this business listing updated, and keep your website current and your customers will find you.

Also beware of the auto-renewal clause in the yellowpages print and internet advertising contracts. You may tell your sales rep that you do not want to renew, but if you do not do so in writing (with registered mail, return receipt) Yellowpages will automatically renew your advertising contract for another year and your sales rep will automatically get another commission of of you and your worthless ad.

Beware after you mail a notice of non-renewal to yellowpages you will get tons of calls from AT&T and its L. M. Berry minions demanding that you continue to do business with them.. Just say no to worthless advertising, say no to AT&T Advertising's yellowpages and yellowpages.com!
