AT&T Reviews Summary

The reviews reflect a predominantly negative perception of the company's overall reputation and customer service. Customers frequently express frustration with long wait times, ineffective support, and unresolved billing issues, leading to a sense of distrust and dissatisfaction. Complaints about unauthorized charges and poor communication from representatives are common, suggesting systemic problems in service delivery. While there are occasional mentions of product reliability, the overwhelming sentiment indicates that customers feel neglected and undervalued. This pattern points to a pressing need for the company to improve its customer service protocols and enhance accountability to regain consumer trust.

AT&T steals your money
January 24, 2025

I am very disappointed with my recent experience with AT&T. When I signed up for their business service, the employee I dealt with failed to be upfront about the real prices and hidden fees. Jordan Muller at central Florida. I was quoted one price, but when the bill arrived, it was much higher due to additional charges and he lied to me during the setup process. Also all the credits he promised were not real. He sent me a PDF with the quote and I asked how much additional fees there would be and he lied about the amount. Said my first bills would be higher than the quote, around $300, but when I got the first bill it was over $900. When I called him, he told me not to pay, that he would resolve it. But in 3 weeks my phone service was cut and I lost a whole day of business calls. When I contacted him that my phone service was cut, he said just to get a prepaid SIM card with a new number until it was resolved. Obviously, that is not a solution when you have a business running. He finally admitted that there was nothing he can do to help me.

I feel misled, and the lack of transparency is unacceptable. As a customer, I expect honesty, especially when it comes to pricing. If AT&T wants to keep their customers, especially business customers, they need to ensure their employees provide accurate information and stop hiding fees in the fine print.

I would not recommend AT&T based on this experience.

Worst nightmare of service I ever received in my life. Like dominos, one issue led to another, starting with screwing up the order placed a week before for "additional" service at our new business "second location". Had instead, disconnected service at original location (4 years with AT&T), transferring only internet and fax line, and sent a technician out who's behavior was rude and dismissive to my office staff, and fixed only one active phone line with the fax number. Between my office staff and myself, we spent an entire Friday being transferred over and over again to numerous departments and still couldn't get service restored back at the original location by end of business day. At the last hour, was told by a supervisor (which I demanded at this point), acknowledged they 'screwed up' but being a Friday, required a "NEW" order for service at the location mistakenly disconnected and no tech available until mid following week. Needless to say, I called Xfinity and had internet (with a tech out) the following day. AT&T customer service is a joke and not serious enough for BOTH my office locations, or my home service as well.

Them you request a live agent they give a limited choice so you select the option closest to the one you are calling for. When the agent comes on he says wrong department. When you ask to be transferred to the correct department he doesn't have the number call again and we go down the same process over and over ATT should have an option that says all other inquiries press this option instead of giving options all of which can't help you.

Beware of this company
December 23, 2024

Beware of this company. They are not secure in anyway on their MyATT app. Mine got hacked and a double payment was made. One being authorized and another not. They will make you pay for their mistake. They will not correct it either. Their customer service is pathetic. They don't care about their customers they didn't through Covid either. I received a letter in the mail about my information being compromised and that they believed no personal information was stolen but explain to me how an unauthorized payment was made. Done go to T-Mobile for service they are by far AMAZING

I made a payment agreement with AT&T paying the amount of $349.95 for November 28,2024 and the other for $348.24 for December 12,2024. It turns out that AT&T broke the payment agreement by charging me twice on the same day, the 28th, for both amounts. I contacted them for a refund but they don't want to give it to me because of their policies.

Absolutely ridiculous
November 13, 2024

Rep over the phone outright lied about sending apple watches that would be paid for with "credits" that did not exist. Rep stated multiple times that the cost of the watches would be immediately offset by credits and to please sign the financing for the watches in order to process the order. Rep then asked for me to pay the taxes on the watches as that was the only thing that these "credits" would not offset.

Found out today while fixing the account issues that she created when improperly bringing on the new line (which was the only reason I had called), that there were no credits and I had been straight up scammed into financing 3x apple watches on my plan. Customer services solution was to offer multiple opportunities for me to simply PAY for the watches anyways at a slightly discounted rate. Kept implying and using language that I HAD LIKELY MISUNDERSTOOD! Would not listen to the recorded call and acknowledge that their rep lied. Offered to have feedback sent into their inhouse team to have the issue addressed. This is code for "please leave your negative feedback internally so that we can hide it from the public."

**Do not trust anything a representative says to you over the phone. They lie. They then wasted HOURS of my time pushing a product that I did not even request. Later they then implied that the fault was possibly mine and that I may have misunderstood. They then gave me the wonderful offer to simply pay them for the items anyways like that was a favor. I now have to go out of my way in the middle of yet another work day to send back the items. They acted like refunding me the sales tax I was made to pay was some sort of special favor. And in the end with her deepest condolences and apologies offered to give me a $25 credit for the inconvenience. Absolutely ridiculous...

I requested a stop process of payment from AT&T, and they told me that they could not do it and that my banking institution would have to. So, I called my bank, my bank stopped the process of payment on their end and told me that AT&T would have to do so on their end. I did not cancel my autopay; I called to transfer accounts for auto pay. I gave my information to the representative, and guess what, it was never put in along w/ the process of stopping the process of payment to a closed account was never completed. AT&T charged me a return check fee. I called in to complain and to see if they could override that due to the negligence was not on my end. One supervisor (some guy) was rude and ignorant and said that he wasn't doing it. This supervisor tried to make me believe that I said something on a recorded call to prove his case, and I asked him what did I say besides the fact that I followed protocol and asked AT&T to do their due diligence, and it was not done. I called the next morning and well, I am stuck w/ paying a return check fee. I have been with AT&T for 2years, and I keep having issues with my auto pay being kicked out, always having to pay extra money, etc. I started to go pre-paid when I paid my phone off, but a representative stated that I could have a better deal to remain in a contract. So, poor choice, I stayed and added another line. If I did not add another line, I would have dropped having a contract and went to prepaid services. It's either prepaid after I pay off this phone or on to another company. I am tired of AT&T.

Awful service!
September 6, 2024

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.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER and BILL INCREASED DRASTICALLY with no explanation. I called Customer Service to sit on hold for 17 minutes and then "try" and speak with the person who could barely speak English. I was trying to resolve an issue from the previous month when I called and was told it was "all fixed now." SURPRISE, still messed up. All these representatives do is keep saying "please hold," "I am sorry about your experience but rest assured I will assist you," and when you tell them that the information you were provided the last time you called and they are now saying "I am sorry that is wrong but I will assist you," and you get completely different information. I have been with AT&T for over 10 years and the past couple of years their customer service is AWFUL! Can't speak English clearly to understand, have NO IDEA what they are saying and information they are providing, and everyone tells you something different! My elderly parents and my aunt are also with AT&T and unfortunately I have tried to assist both of them the past few weeks and also had horrible experiences (not to mention the phone calls both lasted over an hour and a half)! I have already switched to Verizon (as of yesterday) and I will be assisting my parents and aunt leave AT&T this weekend. Hard to believe that about 5 years ago I actually wrote another review for AT&T giving them 5 stars and talking about how they were one of the "few companies left who still truly believed in good customer service; and although the outcome of my conversation wasn't exactly what I hoped for, the customer service representative was polite, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything to me." What happened AT&T?

The goal of phone customer support is to leave people waiting until they hang up. Never a call to them under 60 minute wait time. Usually need to be transferred. Another 60 minutes. They say they fixed the problem but you will need to call back to go through same bs again. The worst of the worst. Try Verizon or T-Mobile. ATT doesn't care about thier customers.

Allows customers personal information to be accessed then penalizes the customer for their lack! They will not provide the accountability and transparency they require from consumers. My banking information was accessed through the data breach that allowed my funds to be drained. I trusted this monopoly with my livelihood. Not only did they not provide me with any assistance it was deemed not important. Im a disabled veteran whom lives on a meager monthly income. So a hack and drainage of my banking accounts is a serious inconvenience to me

We allowed ATT workers in our property to do their work in our backyard. The picture shows the disarray they left upon finishing their tasks five days ago. ATT reps have been unable to send someone to arrange those items lying on the ground in the manner they had originally found them. Quite irresponsible!

I am an extremely frustrated customer. AT&T's internet service has been incredibly disappointing. I've had to call them about 20 times, and each time, I get transferred to different departments without any resolution. They've told me my account is too complicated to handle, and as a result, my internet was cut off.

I came home from work on Friday to find that my internet was disconnected. I called AT&T immediately, but despite their assurances that they were glad to help, nothing got resolved. Instead, I was passed around like a hot potato between departments. I spent nearly 7 hours on the phone with them, from 4 PM to 11 PM, only to be told they couldn't help me and that I'd have to wait until Monday for the Sales department to reopen in their business hours.

What's worse is that I did speak with the Sales department during my initial call, but they transferred me to another department. After 7 hours that, I was told I needed to go back to Sales again. This is the worst service I've ever experienced, especially when I was already exhausted from work.

I'm really want to changing my internet provider, but unfortunately, my apartment has a contract with AT&T, so I'm stuck. I've already expressed my concerns to the apartment management, urging them to cut ties with AT&T. They left me without internet for the entire weekend, which is unacceptable.

5G is genuinely bad. I have no data in many, many places and have been trying to unlock my ATT locked phone. I've been on the phone and chat lines for over 6 hours on many calls. They keep promising to unlock and never do. Finally, a higher level agent said that the phone is locked by Apple and ATT is helpless. I was on the phone for over 2 hours with Apple today (iPhone 14pro). They searched every database they have and did a diagnostic on the phone. We even did a full factory reset. According to Apple, it is totally in ATT's court to unlock... but they are failing to do as promised. Very dishonest. They are entrapping customers that want out due to extremely poor coverage and hence... poor customer care. Don't go with them. You will regret it.

Stay Away AT&T
July 13, 2024

Recently I was at Costco and reps for AT&T were there. I explained to them I had Verizon but they said they could do much better. I said I pay 145.00 with taxes and Disney+ Package. They said they could do much better. Well took a look at package and decided it was really better but close enough and with what I saved I could pay for Disney Package. So I said yes and that was my biggest Mistake. I was switching 3 phones and my wife was taking galaxy s23 so she had to wait for phone. Well Gio and Allison the Costco Riverhead reps for AT&T were not to bright. First they couldn't get my phone to work after all paperwork done. They played with my phone for about 3 hrs but couldn't set up AT&T. All they could say was sorry. As for my sons phone they said they needed the phone to switch it but he was at work. I decided to leave a go to a AT&T store where they got my phone working. They were also able to set up my sons phone. After this things got worse. As you can see I was supposed to get lots of Costco discounts but dint get any. They charged activation fees plus I didn't get my $10 off for auto pay with debit card plus other discounts that were listed. Bill was about double what I usually pay the that was without my wife's phone because hers was set up after bill date. Next month will be even more. Also coverage area very poor. Im constantly on a very slow internet connection and can't even bring up my email.
I GOT TAKEN FOR A RIDE.
PLEASE BE AWARE VERY AWARE OF HOW POOR AT&T REALLY IS.
MY OPINION STAY AWAY FROM AT&T
I just went online to my account and AT&T says my average bill in future will be $293.00. Going to be long 3 years.

I am the managing partner of a movie cinema in St. Louis. We called twice today due to no internet connectivity. We were told there is an outage and the issue would be corrected by the end of the day. It's now 9:30pm (11.5 hours later) and we still do not have internet connectivity. As a BUSINESS, we are critically dependent on internet connectivity. The majority of our ticket sales are generated ONLINE. We lost a lot of money today due to AT&T's inability to restore connectivity. I wish I could say this is the first time we had significant issues with AT&T, but it's not. AT&T is simply not a reliable provider. Not for business. Not for residential. We are likely going to switch to Spectrum.
