“No rewards as they are offered!”

Manuel M.
12/5/23

Very disappointing when finding that all rewards offered when activating Internet 300 service online are automatically switched to a bundled product that after 7 weeks has not yet arrived. They sent an email 2-3 days after service activation showing that you qualify for an "extra" reward but what they don't disclose is that if accept this "extra" reward, it automatically disqualifies you from the other rewards, close to $250. Just cheating to get you in because most probably you won't even receive the bundle. After 7 weeks waiting period, they just said that an extra 4 weeks are needed. Would it arrive? I think this is just an AT&T SCAM!

“Awful service!”

Maria F.
9/6/24

I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T recently. Terrible experience from the beginning! Customer service is non-existent! Wait time to speak to a rep was greater than an hour multiple times! Additionally, my bill contained duplicate charges.

AT&T fooled, tricked, deceived me into buying a plan that was too good to be true! At the store I was told that I could give my phone by trade in that was not paid off and I could just keep paying my other service provider for the phone on monthly basis while getting AT&T service. I was made to believe that I would be saving money and was shown how. I sent AT &T two good phones only to receive phones people can bearly hear me on includingwhen I spoke with AT&T customer representatives. Now my other service provider sent me a bill of over $900 for my phone claiming that I wanted to buy it out even though AT&T said it that I could keep paying my other service provider in monthly installments.AT$T sent me a bill of over $ 500 in addition to over paid in taxes 120 and additionally my previous carrier charged 172 for the same month am charged over $500 by AT&T. Am here writing so that no one else gets into my kind of predicament. I have been tossed all over by AT&T and at the end of the run and chase I was told there is nothing they can do. Please run when you see those sales people roaming in Stores like Target, unless you have a bad experience elsewhere. Mine was in the name of saving money but looking at the numbers i have here, my life is now miserable. More so I am so traumatized that I will not even go near Target again!

This "service" I've received today is absolutely disgusting. I received a call today about new installation scheduled tomorrow when I never agreed to installation. I called with an issue the other day and got sales which kept reading me a disclosure which I kept answering no to, he kept saying it was necessary to transfer me, I still told him no. He laughed and finally transferred me. I called Cust Service today and they saw the order. They couldn't cancel it. Called installer back and he said it was new service scheduled or an upgrade. He said I needed to get to cust. Loyalty to cancel the service request. Called to get to cust loyalty, had a rude agent who kept putting me on hold and i waited on "dead air" then to be transferred to the queue again and then hung up on (this was an hour process... while I'm at work). I am now on hold AGAIN to try to cancel the installation tomorrow and this is now the 5th call. To which I told the automated system that I wanted to cancel service. There is a repeat in the automated system that keeps repeating "tired of unwanted calls..." over and over again. This has been a waste of time and stress that is absolutely unacceptable. This is a disgrace, and although I just wanted to cancel the installation call scheduled tomorrow WHICH I NEVER MADE, I now just want to cancel service since this is not how I think a reputable and capable "business" should behave. I'm absolutely disgusted in the lack of help and knowledge these employees have. I'd just like to ask the question, "WHAT HAPPENDED TO AT&T?"

Tip for consumers:
Don't settle for bad cust service. You may have to call back and get someone experienced to help.

I have called AT&T several times 10/14/22,10/25/22,11/6/22 and spent over an hour on each phone call. My question was simple, my number had changed and I need to log into my account. They give me a new pin number every time and I tried to log in while on the phone with them and yet they do not know why I am still not able to log in. Every time I have called AT&T its a different representative so I have to re-state everything I have already said and having issues with. I am a client and I need to be able to see my account and make any necessary changes I need to make. I have two phone lines and a hotspot and still I am not able to make changes or add or do anything to my account because no one from AT&T has been able to get me to log into my account. They can see my information but I am not able to see my information. I am currently on hold and have been on the phone now 1hr and 9 minutes and 50 seconds and going because they are waiting for someone to take help me? AT&T this is the type of services customers get? No one working on AT&T has been able to help me and why? Diana -Q942yd6 could not even help me.

I got mine the next day

Now my mom got a great deal 1gb for the price of 300mbps, first installer canceled. Waiting right now for a call back at 1:57pm supposed to be by between 11-2pm, they can't find the installer with gps or he doesn't answer his walkie talkie or whatever. My mom's already incredible nervous to switch from Xfinity, seems like we're keeping it which affects the very nice guy at the stores commission.

Last year her next door neighbor had 2 problems, they had the fiber too tight and came undone. Next time ATT CUT MY MOMS XFINITY COAX WITHOUT MARKING PAINT ON THE GRASS FOR CABLES! 200 dollar gift card doesn't cover our busy lives! Sticking with reliable xfinity

Tip for consumers:
This is complete B's and waste of time

My experience with AT&T was a crap show. I called in originally to upgrade the internet on easters 2022. The sales guy ended up talking me into switching our phones lines from Tmobile to AT&T. I let him know I was with another carrier and he said not to worry we have a easter promotion running where they will buy out your contract up to $700 if we send AT&T our old iPhones. I called in a day later because when we activated the new AT&T phones Tmoblle sent us a $1300 bill for the old devices. I called at&T to ask why is there a bill and they told me they don't buy out contracts. I ask to talk to management because now we were stuck paying our old contract with t mobile because att didn't pay off account. They agreed with me that the salesman was wrong but woud not honor what he said. We gave up on trying to get them to do what they said they would do, We found out that it lie and there were more lies by our salesman that works for AT&T. We were also lied to about our total monthly bill. We were told it would be $122 a month. Our first bill was $122 and then the next bill was $198 and I called and complained and they said your salesman was incorrect that the bill is $198. I told them I only agreed to sign up because of the price he told us. AT&T won't honor what their employees say and will do the bait and switch to get you to sign up. I have asked for the recording of my phone call with the salesman and they will not send me it. They claim they have no way of finding it.(then why are calls recorded)

Tip for consumers:
do not use AT&T. they will screw you over and you will have to talk to 100 different people to get any answers

I have two issues:
1) Even thought I have been an AT&T customer since 1999, I was given a new account number on January 6,2023, because my son withdrew from my plan to start his own AT&T plan with wife. I'm not sure what my new account number is and haven't been able to find out online (MyATT takes me online to Internet account and won't let me transfer to wireless, as wireless is grayed out). At the local ATT store I've been told I need to do that online. Various phone calls have been a waste of my time. Ugh!
2) I called *******500 (was disconnected) and *******020 today at 6:00 PM: a woman with heavy accent called Dani? Or Donny? Obviously willing to offer products and unwilling to help, kept me on my cell waiting--going back and forth--only to after 33 minutes, tell me the usual "I cannot hear you," and apologizing with the promise to call me back "right away" to my cell number which she had verified minutes before. I waited for a long time... she never called. I wasted all afternoon. It was important for me to clarify my wireless account, pay my bill and establish an international service because I am going out of the country tomorrow. Dani or Donny's (Asian?) blatant lie was frustrating and offensive. After 23 years with AT&T, I am considering changing to T-mobile or Consumer Cellular where service is not that cumbersome. It is ridiculous that I cannot access my Wireless account neither online nor by phone nor at the At&t store and to have to deal with Dani or Donny, who shouldn't lie to unsuspecting costumers.

I wish I never left VERIZON. Do NOT TRUST AT&T. They get you locked into bogus contracts and then you are stuck with all around horrible service. The calls drop or the other caller can't hear you.

I went to att in JAN 2018 to get new Iphone X, and the att saler told me if i get the direct TV just $20/month then i get an Iphone 8 for free, after I did it, the billing of Direct TV came up to $48. I called and asked why, they told me for the first couple of month it's will not showing any discount, but than the second month, they charged me for the protection & HBO service, which man it doesn't mention in the first place, and the bill come up with $74, than the third month they charged me $48 agains. Im calling again and they said never have $20 promotion, only $48. I was so mad, than Im trying to cancel the service, but they want to charge me for the cancelation fees up to $200 for the contract Direct TV.
In the first place AT&T not being honestly with customers, how can they make customers to pay for more charge, it was a terrible place. Now I have to paid hundreds Dollars for this place, AT&T SUCK.!

We decided to switch our home and business internet services from ATT to another provider because of constant problems with the internet. I called to cancel and the process takes a long time. We paid the final bill over the phone. I finally got it done and they told me to turn in the equipment to the FedEx store by a certain date. I took the equipment the next day and it wasn't in the system as cancelled so they couldn't let me turn it in? I called from the store and they said it had not been put in correctly and so I spent a LONG time again getting it cancelled again. Long story short I went through this SEVERAL times and each time took FOREVER on the phone while they researched it etc. Meanwhile they kept sending new bills. I can't tell you how many hours I spent on the phone with them. Finally, I mailed them a certified letter with the confirmation numbers and dates of each contact and that I didn't owe them anything. Needless to say, I didn't hear from them for a few months and just started receiving correspondence and phone calls from a collection agency. I swear. I will NEVER pay them.

DO NOT USE AT&T!

I am absolutely shocked and extremely upset! My experiences with ATT has b0een HORRIBLE. I still don't have my phone! After being charged ridiculous amount for the phone I didn't want I found out I was paying for a line for 2 years that I didn't want. Conveniently they couldn't fix my online account so I had to deal with people on the phone. 5 different representatives told me 5 different things, lost my labels, then charged me $255 for not returning the phone because they couldn't print up the return lable for the phone I didn't want to start with. I feel like I am in the twilight zone! I already lost money at my business twice because their internet went out and it took them over a week to fix it. Now, I signed up with another provider, and I am losing money again because I transfered my completely paid off phone to another provider and it is locked by this disgusting company! I am calling to everyone who has been in the similar situation to join me in a class action lawsuit! They deserve to pay us for anguish, pain, and loss of income! Please contact me at *******@yahoo.com.
