AT&T
Reviews and Complaints

We switched from DSL to U-Verse Internet, having been promised $200.00 card to use for AT&T bills or whatever we want after 30 days. Well, our account shows we have a $100.00 credit, not the $200.00 card promised. Then in Feb 2013 we changed to Uverse Voice and received just today our letter with our Redemtion ID. I went to the page and it only had a $50.00 redemption card. All the while we were setting up Uverse Internet, what our reward would be was different each AT&T person I talked to. First it was a $200.00 rebate, then it was a rewards card to use however we wish, the next person said no it is a rebate, then the next person told us that it was a card to use on AT&T services, etc. as we wished including paying our bill. The last person I talked to said no it is a $200.00 Visa card to use as we wish. Well, we never received the $200.00 card, but did receive $100.00 credit to our account. Then we went with Uverse Voice in Feb 2013, saying we'd get an extra $50.00 on the rewards card for bundling. That leaves our "rewards" $50.00 short. Why would a company tell so many different customer service reps were different rewards every time we called and checked? I guess I should be happy we at least got the $100.00 credit. We'll see if that $50.00 Visa card ever comes, but it's still short of what we promised. AT&T needs to get their **** together and make sure everyone is on the same page about what and how and how much rewards and rebates are. And, a bit off subject, our "new" 12 mg Internet service is NOT as lightning fast as they said it would be over our past 1.5 mgs. It is faster, but only slightly. What gives? Anyone else experience that?

This lecherous and predatory company operates without impunity. I am a mild mannered person that has been transformed into a raving lunatic by the bait and switch and the absolute horrible customer "service ." I was owed a $300 reward and kept calling to inquire of its status. Now they tell me those rewards are no longer available and there is nothing they can do. It's so egregious that you don't even know where to start presenting a logical argument that clearly demonstrates why you are getting violated without any lube. It's like the Stepford Wives or some other alternate reality that I can't operate in. FYI if they ever cut off your service(S) they charge you a restore fee for each one.Even though it's the same friggin system. They are making Time Warner look like philanthropists compared to their business practices. There are only about 10 other things I was mislead on that I will not go into, so as to preserve a complete nervous breakdown. For lack of a better description the entire outfit is a ### ridden boil on the American consumer's perineum.

I saw a offer for A.T.&T.U-Verse. To switch from your current company they would give you a $300 gift card. I thought WOW! I had the operator explain the gift card and how it could be used. I said sign us up! The after getting the service I get a letter to go to a web-site to get our bonus. I go there and it's $50 gift card. I have lodged numerous complaints. I am being told that I'm receiving a $35 a month discount and can't get the $300 gift card. Discount? I now pay more the Cox my former cable company! Their customer service sucks! I said I know you record these calls - look it up and see that I was supposed to receive it. I was told that even if it was offered - and get this --- "It doesn't exist!". That is what he said! What he meant was I couldn't get the "discount" and the card. So, I said give me the card I was promised - couldn't switch it. It might be illegal to record conversations but if you are going to deal with A.T.&T. I would record any promises made! They also said I received a E-mail out lining the offer I was receiving. I can't find it in old, new or deleated E-mails. So, I said it again. I was told they couldn't do that either!

I signed up for ATT Uverse on 3/1/10 for the bundle phone, internet, and TV (6 sets and 2 phone lines) with Hi Def and HBO for $100 Visa Card and $162.00 for the 1st year and no installation charges. (Andrea) After service was installed, I had no high def and no HBO. After the weekend, 2 TVs and DVR did not work. They came to fix it and now I had High Def, but no HBO. I called and they said I was never signed up for HBO, I vigorously disagreed as I had confirmed all information and wrote all the information down, but agreed to pay $168.00 for the U450 package for the 1st year with $150.00 Visa cards. (Sarah 3/17/10). Meanwhile, the laptop computer no longer connects to the gateway, the 6 TV doesn't work and the wireless printer no longer connects to the network. Also. a brand new Hi Def TV has only green, white and red colors. On 3/20/10, I received an ATT card in the mail which said to redeem my ATT reward points online. I did for $100 which I was upset because it was supposed to be $150.00. When I clicked to check my status, it said $250.00 was alsready processed. HMMMM. On 3/22/09, I received the bill from ATT with installation and activation charges ($54), no second phone line, wrong cheaper package listed but with the outrageous amount of over $250.00. I called and talked to Kenya who said she could work around the rate for 6 months then I would have to call her back in 6 months so they could rework ir or she could give me the the difference in a lump sum because I had redeemed the gift cards. She took off the installation charges but not the activation fee. I said no as I use and need an accurate bill for business. I asked to talk to a supervisor. Austin came on the line and confirmed what Kenya told me but said he would check into it and get back to me in 24 hours. I ask for a number to reach him directly and he would not supply me with one. On 3/23/10 in the AM, we contacted the installation technician to say the laptop and TV were not working. We are still waiting for a call. On 3/23 after waiting for a response for 24 hours to no avail, I called ATT and talked to Brendan. He said he could not do anything. I asked to talk to Austin the supervisor. He said there was no supervisor, Austin, who worked there just another Austin, a phone rep like him. HMMMMM. I talked to Amanda, a supervisor. She took off the activation fee but could not help with changing the bill to $168.00 which was what I agreed to pay. She noted the 2nd phone line was not included but she couldn't do anything to help. I was quite upset and told them not to send me a bill as I would not pay it. Later, I called WOW and reordered their service. On 4/5/10, I will be rid of ATT forever. I am still waiting for a service call.

PLEASE: MY ADVICE - FORGET THIS SERVICE. I also forgot to mention 1 phone no longer works and the TVs frequently freeze and you must reboot the set boxes.

AT&T promised me a promotion for $20 a month off my uverse bill for 6 months. They told me the second receiver was free for 1 year. The internet was $33.00, the TV was $39.00, less the $20.00 per month. The price of the service was supposed to be $52.00 a month plus taxes for 6 months.
What a mess. I asked for a paper bill for months, yet only received an email notice, with hundreds of dollars listed as an overdue balance. So far, starting in March of 2009 through February, 2010, I have credits on my account for $1, 002.00, the price of the service during this time is $957.00, with the promotions and they want me to pay them another $249.00. I had a case number in one instance, a representative was supposed to call me back at 9:30am on a Monday and at 8:30am, they turned off my service. Another $60 added to my bill. I have literally spent the entire day on the phone being passed between billing, accounts receivable, retention, sales, with rude people who hang up on you...and when I think everything is straight, another email comes with another overdue amount. I've had it with AT&T.

Somebody knocked on my door to offer me a $150 rebate back in January 2009, it's now October, and still no rebate. I spoke to "Mona" at the att rewards department and she said it was declined because of my phone #?!?!?! She would not elaborate. She said since I don't have an ATT home phone (they do not have it available in my area) I would not qualify for the rebate. Two weeks ago they told me that they would credit my account $150, they never did. Spoke to a supervisor at customer service for ATT, and I have never been treated so rudely, her name was "Collins", she would interupt me and speak loudly (almost yelling) over me. I asked to speak to her superior and she snickered and said "i'll have to take your number and have them call you back". I'm sure she didn't even take my number down. I'm switching back to comcast, after 8 months of crappy service that keeps on failing and paying $210 per month.

Having the same issues here in North Raleigh. No rebates yet and it's been two months. Called and they said it's on the way ($100 check and $100 Visa) so we'll see how that goes.

BUT the other thing is they contend that it's NOT shared access BUT my internet is slow as hell (on ALL websites, not just a few) during busy times of day. And no matter what time of day I have the problem of web pages not coming up completely..like youtube will have picture thumbnails missing all over the place and videos won't load unless I do a refresh or two or three. I'm going back to TWC. Never should have switched to begin with.

One good thing I can say is that ATT has a news server and TWC discontinued theirs.

PS check out my ATT service photo..funny s*** and I dead with this on EVERY page.

I agree. Same thing with my case. The sales guy promised that I will get $250 rebate and now I got only $100 and when I call customer care, they dont really care! ATT's another lure and trap game.

My complaint is against AT&T for its false advertising regarding rebates. The promised me a total of $240 in rebates against my investment in U-Verse services way back in December 2008, and they haven’t completely delivered by April 2009.

Their deceptive strategy was to first assure me that after the initial $100 check I would get another check for $40 and a VISA care worth $100 within 4 – 6 weeks after filing. I did file immediately but no rebates yet; furthermore, every time I call to inquire, I get the same line of bull, that there was a breakdown in the process so they will give these rebates high priority and I should get them in 5 – 6 weeks (from the date of the call).

To add insult, they refuse to accept these credits toward payments to ATT for the crummy service I received from them and subsequently returned to TWC after a 30 day trial.

se to ruin it to me

We upgraded our wireless plan 9 months ago, around November 2007 and were told that the family plan that we were getting was good for our family of 5. We only had 3 phones but would need 2 more in the coming years and this plan was expandable. This was a 550 minutes plan that I was made to upgrade from a 600 minute plan that was cheaper but to add more phones I needed to go to this plan. Well, now I want to add more lines and they are telling me that I can't. That the plan is only for 3 lines. How many families do you know that only have 3 members. The company once again is trying to get more money and wants me to upgrade to another plan. I've spoken to at least 20 people at the company, from different support areas. At first I was told that this was not a problem that I could order the phone and just add it to my plan. I did this, I ordered the phone, I went to activate it and they said I couldn't add it to my plan that I would have to upgrade. I sent the phone back gave up. A month later I tried it online and it seemed to work, it let me order the phone with no problem and I called and they said it was not a problem. Again I received another phone. Again when I went to activate it they said I couldn't unless I upgraded. I've been working on this now for 2 months and finally was able to talk to someone up the chain and they are saying that I can't add another phone without upgrading. They basically switched the plans in mid stream because all of the other wireless companies are going to this format. When I said I guess I would have to switch, they didn't seem to care. Obviously, AT&T, is playing games and trying to get away with what they can.

I had AT&T long distant years ago and they didn't care about my plans back then, I had problems with their billing practices and I guess they haven't changed.

After the 4th time of a messed up bill, I am done. I kept paying my phone bill and they kept calling me saying they would turn my phone off if I did not send them my monthly payment. Then 2 days later, I got a bill with a 312.00 credit on it! After going over the paper work, I found they were applying my payments to my internet acct. were I owed only 19.00 a month. Geez! Problem is, I was with them one time before and had the same problem. I went and switched to Simple Mobile with my Iphone. I refuse to pay them their early termination fee. I understand mistakes can be made, but like I said before, this is not the first time. The company is TERRIBLE!

AT&T has for the 2nd time, taken money from my checking account WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION! can we say ILLEGAL! It has caused bounced checks, outstanding overdraft fees, I've played nice for too long... been with AT&T since 2003. I think its time to contact a lawyer? Im seriously at my witsend with this! meanwhile the threat of my electrictity being shut off because of AT&Ts actions, I have to come up with additional $$$ to cover that! and I DONT HAVE IT! All AT&T can say is, We are sorry and we reversed the charges. I have yet to see it in my bank account! not to mention the overdraft fees they are responsible for!

ATT didn't become a huge profitable company by being stupid. they take advantage of the fact that their customers have jobs (to pay for ATTs crap) and don't have time to read all the contract ultra fine print. I felt the same way others described when I upgraded to iPhones this week and was told I couldn't drop to a lower minute plan and consume my 7000 minutes. I decided to just move on. The only option was to go postal and bunk with Bernie Madoff!

Constant call disconnects, too. Notice the recent Consumer Report mag rating for AT&T; the very lowest in every single US market in every category (consumer complaints, disconnects, low/no signal, etc.)
I'm locked in for another year and going elsewhere cuz anything is going to be better!

All the communication companies deliberately look for ways to scam their customers, knowing quite well that the government or any other regulatory branch will do little or nothing when they are swamped with endless complaints and held up by lobbyists that pay them to do nothing. It's literally a license to steal, since they are all mega sized companies and it would take too much effort to stop them, so we all suffer from their greedy way of doing business. The larger the company, the more they they can cheat the public and continue to operate with impunity. These companies have people just to figure how they can operate in a quasi illegal fashion just inside the law to inflate their bills and find all types of ways to add fees and charges unrelated to the service. They also add surcharges and internal fees to their own billing and claim it is outside or government charges and not theirs. The people that answer complaints are also trained to discourage callers and deny credits where ever possible. There are very few places the public can go to get satisfaction and they know this, which forces many of us to simply give up in frustration.

I agree. The rollover minutes are a total scam. They give them to you to make you feel like you are not losing minutes if you buy too big of a plan, but then they strategically keep them from ever being used.

1) If you add a person to your plan, you might start using those minutes. So they cancel them.
2) If you downgrade your minutes per month, you might start using those rollover minutes, so they cancel them.
3) Then, if somehow, a lot of people on a particular plan seem to be using the minutes up. They cancel that plan and force you into a change. Then they cancel your minutes because you changed.

The only way you CAN use the rollover minutes is by greatly increasing your talking time without adding a phone line or changing any features.

Let me explain this to you guys... Lets say somebody decides to get a 3000 minute family plan for $149.99 for one month when they know darn well that they are only going to use 700 of those minutes. They've just accumulated 2300 rollover minutes and can now downgrade to the 700 minute plan for 69.99, that's an $80 difference in the plans, therefore only one month and maybe a half would pay for that difference and now they have a nice little nest egg of minutes. They've just cheated the system. THATS why the minutes are capped down when downgrading the plan

I agree with the complaints on this board and would like for a lawyer to call me before my account goes into collections. I have paid several months of ATT Wireless bills and for a family plan of 5 I have been paying nearly $750.00 for unknown charges. My plan was for $100.00 for 2100 minutes and each phone had charges, but none that would add up to $750.00!

Every month was the same story and ATT did not have a reasonable explanation. They are also ripping people off with the early termination fee, which is clearly against federal laws. Please help me file suit against ATT Wireless Fraud and Scam with charges and illegal fees.

Thank you,
Maritza

Try: rewardcenter.att.com -- Went through an online chat with an AT&T employee and received the CORRECT website address ! It worked !

I have also gotten the reward, you can all the phone company and have them redeem it with them and get a confirmation order, and if you give the phone company your e-mail they will send you a confirmation online that you will be receiving it on a certain date.

I have gotten this before, they will send you your check with no problems.

I A.Brown was told that I would receieve my a free modem in the mail, but when I received my bill I was charged 125.90. I would appreciate if I would be credited my rebate

i was told i would recieve a $150 visa gift card signing up and and a $50 check. Well, the check is being processesed but why can't i recieve a redemtion for my visa gift card? kristine

I was promised a $20.00 reward for upgrading, over the phone and with a postcard.
Went to the web site but nothing worked. My bill jumped from $107.20 to $119.82.
Please explain!

Yesterday I reveived a meiling from AT&T U-Verse, indicating that there was a reward waiting for me, and that I should check the website to redeem and track the status of my AT&T rewards. The website has no such option. What can I do? My name is Gary Truwe.

I am very disappointed in your company ATT, I have been calling for a referrel rebate, on 12/9/08, 1-4-09, 1/22/09, 2/20/09, 3/13/09, and everytime I call there is a different story, and not the right one. they tell me it take 2-3 wks before I get my referrel rebate. Now they tell me I am not getting it because I did not register in time and I registered my son on 12/9/08, when he got service . and all this time nobody told me that I was not getting it they told me a bunch of lies. Train you people to answer the right questions. i know that there is always a problem with rebates from your company because this also happened to my granddaughter. It is possible for me to still get the rebate? nellie

when we called att for our service*s we were told about the 100.00 rebate. well nothing has been sent out.can you tell us why? thankyou...p .raymond

I then told them that it was not right Cause I ordor theHigh Speed Internet and the Modem and the shipping with my CreditCard. That is when the person told me that they don't take Credit Cards ordors. now here I am that I met have to pay for everything again.

I was promised $275 in rewards and only received $50. Good thing I kept my online receipt to fax to their Reward Center at [protected]. Despite faxing my request and proof of rewards over 10 times over the last couple months, it is still not available for me to redeem. Phone calls didn't help. I am close to being angry enough to begin faxing random junk into their fax line to cause the same amount of confusion and frustration they have caused me. I should have learned by the past rewards experiences from years ago - not sure why I returned to AT&T.

We got at&t service back in Oct 09 and had trouble with there service and we had it for a week and they took out the 50 deposit from my wifes account and after changing service as they said i was suppose to get a visa gift card, i just got it yesterday. Well after we went to another phone service it wasn't good so we went back to at&t and they took out 50.00 again and we were suppose to get a paper bill but we didn't use the internet but one day and i called them to disconnect it and they did but they took out 11.75 just for that one day of service cause it was very slow and i had the fastest service they have and i got a bill for the phone saying i have to pay 6.76 but what happen to the disposit? they just kelp it the second time and on the rebate card i called to activate and when i put in the card numbers they repete it back but the numbers are wrong and i have tried it ten times and i even went online to do it but it say's theers trouble. We will NEVER get anything that has at&t on it ever again but i'm fixing to turn them into the BBB here and let them take charge cause they owe us money but doesn't want to pay.

I just switched from Time Warner to ATT on October 28, 2009...and have paid my bill (somewhat confusing, to say the least...over $240) for phone, DSL and internet...with a rebate supposedly coming. As of this moment I am planning to contact ATT with the paperwork I received:"Your reward is waitinf for you!". NOW -- after reading about the problems, above, with respect to ATT NOT FULFILLING their obligations to us, I am quite concerned and IF att does NOT respond to my application today (Dec 2nd) for their so-called rewards, I will CANCEL and return to Time Warner, here in Kansas City. (Let also it be known I've waited more than the 30 day period to apply for "so-called rewards.") cablefilms@att.net

### it what can you do! STOP COMPLAINING, AND DO SOMETHING, These stupid complaint sites are a joke we all let these corporate ###ers get the best of us and we figure logging on to a [censored] website will ultimatly fix our problems. try filing a group lawsuit. You may not think you're entiteled to much more than $50.00 But I'm telling you they don't want to be publicaly exposed, which could and would be dramatic to theie company. if you want more information and involment, contact me at brad24taylor@yahoo.com and we will help each other

you ###ing people are nothing more than low-life ###. 60 dollars a month for a piece of ### laptop connect card that does not cut it . it loses signal way to often for no reason . 3-4-5- bars does not matter it is a total ###ing rippoff and you people should be ashamed of yourselfs i will not be renewing any contracts with you ###ing ### . at&t is a totally dispicable company . and i hope you go out of businessreal soon because you suck...

I switched my internet service to At&T DSL and was to receive a rebate. they now tell me that they could not verify that I have the DSL service, not sure how that is when they are charging me for the service. Also, I changed to dish network from cable and submitted rebate papers as required and they claim they never received the documents. I did not get them back in the mail and can only assume they lost the documents. In short they have denied $375.00 in rebates promised at sign up.

I mailed in for my rebate for my AT&T REWARDS as I opted for my high speed 2TDSL, which I am using now. To this date I haven't received anything. Could you please check as I posted this request on July 28, 2008, which has been more than 2 months ago. Thank you.

I supposedly was mailed my rebate for the purchase of a new cell phone on December 12. I followed up on email, but after not receiving it I call the phone number listed. They said it was in fact mailed and I should receive it in 3 weeks. Well, as of today, I still have not received it. Is this a scam or what? Am I allowed to deduct the rebate amount from my next cell phone payment?

I was told if I orderd internet servce from At&t I would recieve a 50 dollar visa gift card..I never receved it and now thay are saying I was to apply for this..Well if I have service through them they should automaticaly send my rebate. Now thay are saying tha my rebate has expired.Could you help me to obtain it?

I moved and had to turn off my AT&T home phone/internet service. I just realized that the rebate check they had sent me to offset the cost of my modem is expired. I called to request that they reissue the check - this is money owed to me.

I was informed that "since [I am] no longer a customer with AT&T, those funds are no longer available." We're oh so sorry, we're keeping your 50 bucks.

Excuse me?

I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON A PHONE TO UPGRADE. MY PHONE QUITS RINGING AND THEY SEND ME A REFURBISHED PHONE. THAT ONE GOES BAD AND NOW I'M ON MY FIFTH PHONE THAT IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY WON'T SEND ME ANYMORE PHONES AND THAT'S THE END OF IT. I DIDN'T ORIGINALLY BUY A REFURBISHED PHONE WHY DO THEY SEND MY REPLACEMENT THAT WAY?
ATT CINCULAR IS BAD NEWS...

I have been trying to get my rebate of 79.99 since June 2008. After multiple calls to ATT, waiting on hold, being transfered from dept. to dept. and getting disconnected I have still to date not received it. My last communication was I should receive it in about a week... we'll see. I would not recomend ATT to my worst enemy and if I had it to do all over again I would not. My lesson learned is to never agree to any type of service with ATT where a rebate of any kind is offered.

The complaintsboard.com website does not do any checking. It's simply a place to post complaints. Contact tyour local Better Business Bureau.

I have a store selling at & t prepaid pin number,
now there are 3 customers complaint that the pin nuber can not been refill, so I called the CS and wait over 20 minutes, and then, they just refuse to provide me any informations due to ### security reason. and finally, i refund back to the customers, and lost that $75.

I questioned that, who can access the pin number, ?

I think At & T sell 1 prepiad pin number to more than 1 customers, they are trying to cheat their customers.

I'm having the same probelms, but more... Had a 8-10am appt. no call, I called, they said someone will be coming that day. Finally at 3:30pm tech came to install the U-verse. That evening I notice that only one phone line in my home worked. I call and set-up an appointment for the next day at 11:00am, you guest it, a no-show, call three more times that day and finally was given another appointment for the very next day at 6-9pm, another no-show, was given another appointment for the next day 6-9pm... ANOTHER NO-SHOW. Some one needs to be fired and unemployed...

I had bought a Go phone last month and had activated the same on 13th October 2008, I got the phone + gophone card of 50$ value with 10$ bonus for the activations in that period. Eventually i got a nice deal with 60$ time.

After I recharged the phone, I started noticing the problems while speaking on the refurbished Nokia 2610. It was a bad instrument as I was not able to hear the other person clearly on this phone ; and since here you usually buy the phone + connection together, by the time i realised the phone was bad i consumed 1.5$. To cover up for the business I spoke to Sprint mobile and ordered a new connection, as AT&T's poor connection causes me a loss in my business.

I was pretty sure that this money was to be returned by AT&T (barring the 1.5$ which i had consumed so far); I called up customer care and they spoke so redely to me and said that the talktime cannot be returned.

Reason why i had to go through the pain of ordering a new connection is due to the phone which was promoted by AT&T and evenually I could not use my talktime with this phone. Please suggest as I am searching for the appropriate consumer forum to help me here.
All I paid was 40$ plus 3 $ taxes and I want this 43$ back., because of this bad instrument or whatever reason (may be the TA&T) connection at Arizona; I have still not been able to use the talktime which is valid till 11th January 2009.

I am raising this concern with other consumer forums as well,
All i want is my basic money to be returned.

ATT U-VERSE IS STILL A PROBLEM. EVER SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE SERVICES FROM ATT U-VERSE I HAVE HAD 3 TECHS. AT MY HOUSE PLUS A FIELD MANAGER AND I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AT MY HOUSE. I AM PARTIALLY PARALIZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. I MISSED 2 APPOINTMENTS WITH MY DOCTOR BECAUSE ATT DID NOT KEEP THERE APPT ON TIME . I SUFFER WITH PERMANENT CRONIC PAIN. AND NOW JUST YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WAS DOWN FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS.! I HAVE BEEN WITH ATT FOR MANY YEARS, I EVEN HAD MY FAMILY, FRIENDS USE ATT BUT IF SOMEONE DOES EVEN NOT CALL ME ABOUT THIS I WILL CHANGE AND EVERY ONE I KNOW. SO ATT PLEASE CALL ME. MR. J. RODRIGUEZ

May I please have the rebate for the modum I purchased from AT&T. [protected]. [protected] or bornyek@att.net.

At&t is a scam artist. Avoid it at all costs. I was told I would receive a rebate in 4-6 weeks for the modem I purchased 2 months ago. The sales representative at the store filled in all of the information on the rebate form and informed me that all I had to do was fill out my address and mail it in. I never received the rebate. When I called to find out why not, I was told, well even though we received all of your paperwork, we canceled your rebate because the 'skew' number was not written on the form. After complaining and threatening to stop paying my bill altogether I was finally transferred to a supervisor who admitted that the skew number was on the receipt I provided, but that they had not bothered to input it into their system so that I could receive my rebate. I may receive the rebate in another six weeks! Everyone else who purchased a modem at that store (and likely all over the country) who does not call to complain will not receive their $100 rebate. This is an organized scam for At&t to steel millions of dollars from its customers. Someone should sue them for false advertisement and theft. Avoid them at all cost!

P.T. Barnum was right--as evidenced by AT&T's operating principle: "There is a sucker born every minute!"

i was told the same as all of the above subscribers, and was looking forward to my well deserved rebate reward and surprise it is not in my hands due to no website only this complaint section. i want my rebate also. 08/06/09. thanks for nothin.. stacy duarte

I was unable to get a response when I tried to get my rebate I was promised. Now what do I do? Please let me know. Thanks, Claudia Williams

I have had u verse for 2 months still can't find the web site for my rebate. Also my grandson had to hook up my laptop after 8 calls to their help site. My phone doesn't work well. Sorry i changed.

The correct address is:

https://rewardcenter.att.com/

Lots of luck!

we were told that we would receive a $100.00 visa card for getting ATT high speed internet service for our business. it has been several months and we have received nothing. I called and they said you have to apply on line. So here I am along with everone else complaining. How do you get your visa card. No one seems to get it, this is ridiculous. Now I want to get service for our home but I think I will get it from another company and maybe cancel what we have with ATT. please contact us so we can resolve this matter

I was told I would get a rebate for the cost of the modum if I agreedt to install highspeed dsl ultra, no contract required . Trying to get my rebate requires a 2yr agreement now. This is BS !

Contact your Public service commission to complain about AT&T. Don't let AT&T intimidate you.

Contacted AT&T today about service interruption. The customer support rep told me that I would need to pay the past due balance was $76 and then they would be able to restore services. After going and making an $80 deposit I called them back on the direct line to the department that the rep works. I was then advised that they could not restore services for the $76, instead I would need to pay $135. Come on AT&T! I know that you are a large company and it is hard for everyone to get on the same page but where is the line drawn? When do you hold your reps accountable for what they advise customers? Valued customer? That is definitely not what I felt like today. Instead I felt like someone you guys could do with or without. I guess that is the truth of it. After all I'm just one account of many, right?

Get ready to receive a bill in the mail. I went through 3 phone numbers to try and get a DSL installed at my house and it took 7 weeks. Each time they gave me a number they said there was a problem and they would close out the account and start a new one. Now I keep getting bills for the other 2 lines that never worked and can not get anyone to help me. It was such a horrible experience and now to add insuld to injury they are billing me for something I never got and when I call and try to talk to someone they tell me my service will be turned off if I do not pay the bills that are in error.

I received a phone call on my cell phone them leaving me a voice mail calling me foul names...I have the phone number of the person who left me the message and i am 99% sure I know the person. Her phone number left on my caller ID on my cell is
[protected] she lives in New Cumberland Wv what can i do about her?
Thanks for taking the time to review my email and hope to hear from you soon. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

AT&T unleashed a torrent of debt collection calls on my wife when they sold a debt for someone with the same name as hers to Joel Cartis LLC (a typical scam outfit that operates quite illegally). Of course, the debtor couldn't be located so they came after my wife since she lived in the same area codes. Cartis didn't tell us that At&T did this in fact, since Cartis didn't have her SS number (they asked for it!) there wasn't much they could do except threaten. We found the source of our grief by going through all possibilities, based on her having a phone in her name using the wonderful Zaba search engine. There, we found listings for at least two people with her exact name.

When we talked with AT&T, they said- yes, we know it's not you, and too bad these people are calling you. We won't intervene.

Everyone should read and know the FTC regulations concerning fair debt collection practices- especially section 809. Hit these people with it when they call you & fight back.

AT&T needs to be broken up again. It "should" become socialized like all essential services. Defense, education, health, and communication/transportation. They over charge...do a horrible job of supplying service and are the rudest most arrogant people I have ever dealt with. Because they missed two scheduled service calls to my house, with no notification or apology...I called and complained about it. The next night as I was sleeping, the phone rang and they asked me if I wanted service! Is this blatant harassment, or is it just "stupid is as stupid does"? Either way, this pathetic excuse for a business needs to be broken up, now! I am strongly leaning towards legal action along with probably millions of other people for their humiliating treatment of their clients and their inferior service and products! Anyone know a good lawyer?

I had an even better issue. I signed up and activated the Mexico calling plan. I was told that I had to pay $4.95 per month pro-rated, and my rate would be $0.49 a minute whilst I was on this plan. I told them I was going to call back and cancel when I got home, as I do not call Mexico, and just wanted the cheaper rates while I was on my trip. They said no problem, but I would have to make sure that my regular international plan was re-activated so that I could make other international calls. No problem. When I returned, I called in to cancel, and I was told that I had to wait 60 days, or else my calls would be rated at the regular rate, as the Mexico service was not active. So to be straight, I paid for Mexico service, made calls during the period it was active, and I am not charged at the rate that was active when I made the calls. SO BEWARE, it will cost you $4.95 x 2 or roughly $10 to have Mexico plan, and they do not tell you this. I do not see how this could hold up if the issue is pushed...

AT&T has been harrassing us here at the shop for over a year. We get approximately 3 calls per week. Every time we tell them to remove our number, they "comply" but mention that the call lists are all different since AT&T owns several branches of marketing, advertising, phones, cell networks, and other businesses.

At this point, I no longer care what kind of businesses they own, nor do I want anything to do with any of them.

They have cornered the market on harrassment and it has to stop!

This has also happened to most of our individual employees as well as our business!

I also have been charged for international calls that was NEVER made from my phone. When I found out and spoke with AT&T representative, said they couldn't do anything about it and that they would give international rate, but still had to pay even though calls were NOT made by me! I did not want to mess up my credit, so unfortunately paid the bill. Shortly thereafter, I had international calling restricted on my account, but in May, August, and again in September 2008, there again are international calls being charged on my account. I have written numerous letters regarding these charges, and still have not received a response from my last correspondence! I will be happy when my contract ends at the end of this month and will be able to end my account!

I agreed to a PLL advertisement and signed the contract only to find out that it was not available. Yellow pages downgraded my account and placed me under 30 other contractors. No one returns my telephone calls and it has been a horrible experience. If you are considering advertising steer clear of att / yellow pages. Im making it my personal mission to tell as many people as possible and post as many places as I can.

If anyone can help with any information please contact me cronicja@yahoo.com

I have the same probelm, I ended with an add I told them I did not want because I couldn't afford it. They had a second person call me a few days later and this person continued to just hound away at me. I still said no and yet 6 months later I get a bill for advertising that I didn't want nor can I afford. They never told me I was under contract and now It can't be broken?! Very unprofessional and bullying as far as I'm concerned. I do not have extra money to pay for this and yet I will be forced to let something else go every month. I can barely afford my electric bill!

For Gator Productions-

You ex-wife was skilled enough to make changes but not increase the ad?

She cannot be the authorizing agent for one and not the other. How silly is that?

You took advantage of her to try and pawn off some task that you thought was menial but was actually vital to your business. Now who should you be mad at?

You should pay her bill for making her do something you were too lazy to do.

Did you actually read what you wrote?

" I was very busy and wasn't paying much attention and agreed to what they were saying like I do with everyone else. They transferred me to another sales rep who spoke better English but spoke quickly. Again I agreed, not paying attention."

You always agree? Why would you do that?

Your doctor is so cheap that he does not have a marketing advisor for his business? I bet he's got an attorney and accountant!

He should not have his receptionist/office manager make marketing decisions or you need a huge raise.

He should pay this bill for being so cheap in how he runs his practice.

As a yellow pages industry expert, I think he is stuck with the bill.

I do have a possible option but I doubt your doctor would pay for a media consultant/claim advocate.

Bottom line is that this was not the yellow pages fault. Your complaint should be toward the doctor and putting marketing decisions in your lap.

Hope you do get your resolution.

I have had similar problems with AT&T Yellow Pages. I work for a small doctors office and we get calls all the time from phone book company's confirming our information. I received such a call, or so I thought, the sales person spoke very little English and had a thick accent. I was very busy and wasn't paying much attention and agreed to what they were saying like I do with everyone else. They transferred me to another sales rep who spoke better English but spoke quickly. Again I agreed, not paying attention. Two weeks later I received a bill for almost $500.00! I called to cancel the order that I didn't realize I had made, and they told me that they could not cancel the order because it had already gone to print and that I had agreed to a two year contract with them, which I don't have authorization to do! So I threatened to go to the CT state Attorney General, and they are going to be putting me through to a customer service manager "within a few days". Hopefully they will resolve this problem for me. But beware! They will trick you!
