AT&T Home wireless fixed internet

Last Tuesday, 6/7/2022, we had a technician come in and install our new service. We live in the country but was told that AT&T had been used by the previous owners with no issues. The install went great, and everything was fine up until the past Monday 6/13/22. We have been unable to connect to the internet. I have tried rebooting the router, turning off and on the antenna, resetting the router, and unplugging everything to no avail. I tried contacting AT&T's tech support on Monday several times and each time was put on hold for 20-30 mins, and nobody picked up. On Tuesday, I did the same for several hours, even calling several different numbers. After talking to two representatives that could not help me, I finally was able to speak to a technician. She had me do everything that I had already done and then figured out that the outage was due to the cell tower. She said that she issued a service ticket to have someone work on it. I explained that it was very important that I have internet because I also work from home. She said that she would expedite the service, but it could take up to 72 hrs. I asked if I would be credited for the time that I was without service and she told me that they do not do that, but she would make sure that there was an urgent request put in. I have tried repeatedly to contact AT&T since then and still cannot get through. Every time I call the message said that they are currently experiencing higher than normal call volume. I understand that they are busy, but to be on hold 45 mins or longer and nobody answers is crazy. I am about to cancel my service and go somewhere else. I have to have the internet for my job, or I am going to lose it, which I cannot afford. I have never delt with a company before that does not seem to care about their customers.

Desired outcome: I would like my service on and to be credited for the time that I have not had it and a refund of the installation.

AT&T Wireless customer service

I returned to att on mar 29 th 2022. the provder I had did nt work in my area.

I had to go back to the store 3 times, due to incompetent employees not setting up my phone.

Than I had to call to finish it. I called apple did it my self.

I have had call quality issues since I signed up with ATT.

My calls are dropped. and interference. I have done every trouble shooting step posssible.

Customer sevice is impossible to contact. social media says they call m, I get no call. so how do they get my voice mail?

I have spent hrs on the phone, replaced SIM card, had escuation ticket. had to order. store didn't have it. another wasteless trip.

I have an elderly mother. I also have a serious medical condition.

I need a working phone.

No one can resolve the call quality issue.

I repeat my info, one rep lost my call back number, could not take my number.

a nube that called me from Tx was only an ougoing number!

ATT lacks customer service, and has no integrety whrn dealing with customers.

Desired outcome: an apology as well , as a rep who will work to resolve the issue. A dependable wireless phone!

AT&T Landline

I moved and needed to transfer my landline. Yes, actual physical landline. They told me I could not keep my number and would need a new one, no problem for me. The phone has not worked the entire time since installation, near two months now. They sent out techs repeatedly, at least six times, only two got it to work each time for about an hour. I have called and called and called to get the issue repaired, dozens of times now, to no avail.

Because this is a landline 99% of the agents I get on the phone can't help, they transfer me. Each call is TWO HOURS minimum of being transferred and hung up on. Never, ever have I been hung up on so many times. I am never rude. I never scream. They are just so heinously incompetent that they either hang up on purpose or can't transfer a call. I have supervisors promise to call me back, they NEVER do. Every single time I call I ask for landline support, every single time I get shuffled around, sometimes even put through to Spanish speaking only lines. I can't use the online chat because they don't support landlines so they cannot access my account. It gets better: they have my email address wrong. I have asked them to correct it dozens of times and each time they say they have and yet I get no emails. I just got a letter from them with the WRONG email listed on it saying "we tried to reach you at this email address but it is wrong so please update it" which included a web address to go to where I could update it and IT IS A DEAD WEBSITE ADDRESS.

For weeks now I've been promised techs are coming back out yet again to repair the phone. Sometimes I even get calls and text messages saying the techs are nearly there, but they never show up. Ever. Better yet even the link in the freaking texts they send me that is supposed to show my appointment time is a DEAD link.

I am beyond furious. I have asked for the highest level escalation team for customer service and been hung up on. I want full transcripts of every call and chat I have placed since apparently they are "recorded for quality" to show that I have been calling and calling and trying to get help and instead get hung up on and lied to and spend HOURS in phone trees that do nothing.

I have to have a phone that works in a power outrage. This is the only landline available in my area. This is denial of basic safety services by a company so horrible, so corrupt, so incompetent that I cannot believe they remain in business. I am at my wit's end and cannot get an ounce of help.

Horrific company. Horrific experience.

AT&T Prepaid phone services

From: Emmanuel Rosado

To: To whom it may concern, AT&T

Re: Compliant AT&T Services

June 5, 2022

Hi! I’m Emmanuel Rosado,

Thank you for the AT&T services,

This statement is a Consumer and Governmental Affairs "FCC" summary and doesn't discuss all the circumstances in detail. This statement aims to complain about some ATT stores and the AT&T prepaid cell phone service issues and request an executive investigation regarding this matter. I want to keep having the best experience AT & T provides to all their clients.

Per “The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the US. Territories. The FCC is the independent US. Congress oversees government agencies. The Commission is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America's communications laws and regulations. “ FCC.gov

According to the FCC, "Telephone companies may use, disclose, or permit access to this information in these circumstances." I want to remember that I haven't agreed with third-party agencies to gather any information without my consent unless approved by AT&T regulations policies or FCC standards. On the other hand, I've had weird issues at AT & T stores and with my AT & T phone services. Last year, I complained about the Bobby Jones ATT & T store when the representative refused to open a new line phone (in a new cell phone). My actual AT & T line was [protected]. However, more than 90 days after complaining, I never heard back about the AT & T complaint. Also, another incident happened on June 4, 2022. At approximately 3:00 pm, I showed up at the AT & T store located at 5003 Steiner Way, Grovetown, GA. I asked the representative to make a line transfer from the line [protected] to another phone. The representative installed a new sim card in my phone at the store to make the phone number transfer but never gave me back the information he printed out of my cell phone service. The representative took pictures from the tablet he had in his hands while I talked to the AT & T customer support from the phone line at the store located at 5003 Steiner Way, Grovetown, GA. 30813.

Furthermore, at approximately 6:00 pm, I got several unknown phone calls. I answered the first phone call, and someone asked for "Bobby." It was approximately 6:15 pm. Mr. Douglas Adams called my phone claiming that I was using his phone line, which the representative activated with a new sim card at the store location at 5003 Steiner Way, Grovetown; Mr. Adams claimed I was using his phone number line. I answered Mr. Douglas, "I'm talking to AT & T customer support, "Andres" regarding this matter." Customer support stated my 4-digit pin was incorrect, and I had the line number [protected], which belongs to Douglas Adams. In addition, the customer representative via phone provided me with a new phone number [protected]. However, the old line, which was the one supposed to be transferred [protected], is still activated, and I got a new phone instead of a transfer. I believe it is not usual with all clients at AT& T. Because the old line [protected] was supposed to be transferred but is still activated and never transferred.

I consider this issue dangerous for my online accounts because I'm having issues with two fact authentication to log in to online accounts such as my bank account, emails, etc. Today June 6, 2022, I showed up at the same AT&T store in Grovetown, Ga. I notified the At&T store representative Noe knows about the situation. However, Ms. Noe didn't have an explanation for such actions. Ms. Noe stated that the other representative was not present at the store.

Additionally, by 1:30 pm, after leaving the AT$T store at Grovetown, GA, I continued my efforts to find a solution to the problem by calling customer services once again. Customer representative, "Andres," the same AT&T representative I talked to on June 4, 2022, regarding this matter, stated that he had no access to the line and was supposed to be transferred from [protected] to another phone. Mr. Andres didn't take my complaint seriously because he refused to provide me a phone number to call to make a complaint to investigate this issue. Mr. Andres didn't try to find a solution to the problem. Once again, my efforts continued calling [protected]@T customer service. Mr. Kelly, listen carefully. Ms. Kelly stated that something weird was going on because of the issues mentioned above. Besides, Ms. Kelly stated that the phone num. Mr. Andres assigned me on June 4 a phone line already in use since February 27, 2015. I provided Ms. Kelly with the sim card num. [protected]-[protected] and IMEI [protected]. Ms. Kelly had access to the account [protected], transferring the phone num to my AT&T phone as it was supposed to be done on June 4, 2022at the Grovetown store. Also, Ms. Kelly stated she would escalate the issue to find a solution to the problem to be investigated adequately. Ms. Kelly provided me with two phone numbers and one email to file a complaint on my end. I had two phone numbers activated simultaneously in one $30 prepaid monthly plan. I was unaware.

Finally, I thank AT&T for its excellent services. I have been an AT&t loyal customer since 2014. AT&T always provides the best experience to all clients: without discrimination, judgment, or based on a solid foundation to justify such actions as refusing to open a new line, taking pictures of personal data, or adding a phone number, instead of transferring a phone number from other existent client accounts such in my case mentioned before. Still, I want AT&T to make letters on this matter addressing an exhaustive investigation of this issue to find a solution to the problem with my services and issues at AT &T stores. I want to keep having the best experience AT & T provides to all their clients. I count on AT&T's collaboration in this matter. "Make your consumer information preferences clear to all businesses" FCC.gov.

AT&T High speed internet

AT&T has scheduled 4 different dates to install High Speed Internet at my home.

Each cancelled without notice, no phone call, no email, no text. For a communications company they are severely lacking in communications with the customer when issues the need for changes occur.

After taking off work 4 different days to be present for the tech to install service, I have cancelled the installation all together. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

AT&T Lied to

In August of 2021 we were told $29.952 a line unlimited for 7 company phones and 2 I-pads. They then add 5 more employee phones at a promised $15.00 a month each! Our total cost was going from $999.00 town to $600.00 changing from Verizon and reimbursing 5 employees $45.00 each for phone usage. This conversation was witnessed by 3 people and notes were taken. So far we have not seen a bill less than $1100.00 a month (except for 2-credit months). We over paid by $7700.00 so far and have been put off in 3 meetings with the buzz rep. I was told by everyone I call at AT&T and that they no longer have and commercial reps. A store manager told me that I am not the only one who he heard from regarding the overbilling. He then said that corporate would set up a commercial manager's and give them all sorts of discounts and breaks for them to promise to companies. Yet when the time comes they would not honor those promises. The last "Aria manager" I talked to has taken 2 weeks and still no satisfaction.

Desired outcome: Credit back the over charges and get my account down to the promised monthly amount. If you won’t do that then Release the new equipment to me, after you credit me back the overcharge so I can to go to another provider.

AT&T My cell phone receptivity

First let me say, I have never experienced a more unsatisfactory and deplorable level of service in my life.

I just remained on the telephone with att for over two hours attempting to resolve a simple issue that a third grader could probably take care of in 3 to 5 minutes.

Now to the issue: On frbruary 22 or therablouts I get a liettr from att starting that due to an upgrade in their service, my cell booster (microtell) will no longer be of use. As a result att will be sending me a new cell booster that will interface with the new system (3G up to 4G). Would I please go the a web site as listed and make the request for the new cell booster at n cost to me. Finding the web site to be confusing, ambiguous and not at all well constructed (my opinion), I chose to telephone att and make a request for the new device.

I did so sometime in the last week of February 2022. Afetr a lengthy period of time and not receiving any device, nor any communication, I call4d again and a a sked what is the problem? I was told that there was a delay in getting the units but I would be placed on the list and should receive itshorly but be patients. Ok. I was patient. In early may I called a third time to find out what the situation was and what the hell is going on? I was told that I am in the order list and can expect a delivery in late may. It is now June. I called again (4thy time) and have been on the phone for two hours with a representative. She puts me on hold and makes inquiries and tells me the "promotional" program is over. I ask to be put in touch with a higher level agent and she instructs me to wait 30 minutes to get a call from Chad, in technical support. I get the call and Chad explains that he is a technical support guy and he will switch me to the correct department. While waiting and listening to a Motzart concert, I am disconnected.

I think this company (ATT) is one of the worst examples of poor customer care I have ever experienced.

I will pursue my issue with vigor and conviction. I recommend that a person in public relations call me and apologise and find out what would make me so dissatisfied with the service that Att offers.

Desired outcome: Fix the problem. Is that so complicated?

AT&T Internet & Wireless

I called a month ago about an increase on my internet bill so they said they would reduce it to $35/month. I also asked why I can't just receive a single bill each month, one with my internet charges and one with just my wireless (cell phone) charges.

The next bill then showed an internet charge of 81.83, not the $35 they promised. So I call to find out why...and am told it was because I combined my internet bill with my cell phone (wireless) bill. WHAT? I just thought it's easier to have one auto pay, not two each month. Wrong. These used car salesman have endless scams up their sleeves...so don't believe anything they say. And each time a customer calls to get the ATT errors fixed, they say they can't refund retroactively, even though they promised, repeatedly to reduce the bill to the agreed amount. Multiply that times millions of customers for a hefty profit & you can see why they fail to deliver, every time. Prison is the only answer for the CEOs that encourage those sorts of law breaking scams.

Do NOT use AT&T if you have any other options.

Desired outcome: Refund difference between 81.83 monthly charges and the promised $35 monthly charge since April 2022. Keep my monthly internet charge at $35 monthly as you promised for the next 11 months.

AT&T Cell phone billing

May 11, 2022, I terminated my cell phone service with AT&T, expecting to receive a pro-rated cost for the billing period. My billing period began May 5, 2022, ending June 6, 2022. I should habe been billed for 6 days. Instead my checking account was debited for the whole month because I was enrolled in auto pay. I would like to be reimbured for the period starting May 6, 2022, through June 6, 2022. AT&T customer service representatives informed me that there is anything that could be done to reimburse/pro-rate the cost.

Desired outcome: Reimbursed pro-rated cost from May 6 - June 6, 2022

AT&T Prepaid cell phone service

AT&T canceled my 88-year-old moms prepaid service without her knowing it. They did this because of their update from 3G to 5G. I was told they had canceled 36,000 subscriptionsThey said they had sent her a text however she never checks and only uses her phone for emergency situations. She had over $200 remaining on her contract. After spending 4 to 6 hours talking with a customer service rep, Supervisors and the local store manager I wasn’t able to resolve the situation. During the course of my several conversations I was transferred to numerous individuals and told different information several times. I was advised she will be receiving a full credit which I found out later was not accurate. I was told she would receive a$150 prepaid debit card.Also this was not accurate. I was told the local store would have all the information in their system that the customer service rep entered. That was inaccurate also. Bottom line my mom is out approximately $234. I’m still waiting on a call from a supervisor but I doubt I will receive it.

Desired outcome: Refund of $234.

AT&T Login into my account

Everytime, I tried to login into my ATT account, the dreadful system does not recognize my password, even when I am already signed into my email, on the next tab, which has the same password.

I called three times; three times three different people promised they would take care of the problem. I had to change my password and it seemed everything was fine, but when I tried again to sign up into my account, the site managed by incompetent people, but it never remembers my password.

The problem is that the technicians you have are in India and not in the USA. Obviously, they offer the service they get paid which is rubbish, and the services is as bad as the services you (ATT) is using in undeveloped countries and not in the USA.

I JUST FINISHED TALKING AGAIN FOR ONE HOUR OF MY TIME TO TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING AND ALL THEY SAY IS TO RESET MY PASSWORD. I WILL NOT RESET MY PASSWORD AGAIN FOR A HUNDRED TIMES, INSTEAD I WILL BE LOOKING FOR A BETTER COMPANY THAT IS THE USA AND HAS ITS DEPARTMENT IN THE USA, NOT IN INDIA OR SOMEWHERE IN A COUNTRY DOWN UNDER.

I will start searching for another company to switch because I am FED UP with the horrible and unprofessional service provided by ATT.÷

SEE THE SCREEN ATTACHED NOTICED I AM LOGGED INTO MY EMAIL, HOW STUPID CAN IT BE?

Desired outcome: FIX YOUR SYSTEM, HIRE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO CAN DO A BETTER JOB, MAKE YOUR SYSTEM WORK SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO GET INTO. LOWER THE CHARGES BECAUSE YOUR COMPANY IS NOT WORTHY OF YOUR RATES. [protected]

AT&T Monthly bill increased, after I requested, and was assured of a charge reduction.

I contacted a service representative on March 23,2022 about decreasing the bill.

After explaining that our small church was only open on Sundays, and the bill had increased to $700, and we could no longer afford the services at those rates, and would need to decrease the bill and disconnect an additional line. After being on the phone over 50 minutes and placed on countless "holds," I was advised that DSL was outdated, and the new plan would reduce the bill by "upgrading" the service, along with the disconnection of the second line.

The next month's bill was 823.32, including a new mobile charge [protected]), for a cell phone that I never ordered.

Today, I was on the phone from 11:22 until 1:24, and so far I'm still waiting for some type of resolution (Pablo ID# GPBBFW8) referred me to "Loyalty", Julie answered, when I asked for her ID#, she put me on hold for 19 minutes, after which I hung-up and redialed, finally Crizia (ID# ZYHXYZ8) helped. Please I ask for your help and any consideration that you may afford me. (I'm still trying to get the bill and unauthorized cell charges corrected.

(I wanted to contact management before reaching out to the Louisiana Public Service Commission and FTC).

The account number is [protected], New Greenwood B.C.

The order details and recorded conversations should offer authenticity to my claim.

Thanks, Billie Breedlove, Church Finance Secretary(cell# [protected]/church email [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Adjustment for over-charges/unauthorized services and equipment.

AT&T at&t home wifi

I have had at&t home wifi for less than a month. Was working great until someone came to bury the wifi line outside. Now the wifi has been out since Tuesday May 17th. I called the same day it went out to get someone out to fix it. I was told an appointment was not available until Friday May 20th from 7am to 11am. I was frustrated because I work from home, and am a college student so I rely on my home wifi to get my work done for both. Friday May 20th at 7am I woke up and waited for the technician to come out. When 2pm rolled around and no one had shown up, I called. I was told the technician was running late and changed the time to 3:15-3:45. I was frustrated because I had somewhere to be and someone has to be home. My husband ended up calling off work to be home when the technician was there. Come 4pm NO ONE HAD SHOWN UP! We called again! This time they tell us, oh it looks like your technician canceled and we are not sure why. Um what? Its been 4 days with no wifi already. what do you mean canceled? We spent three hours in total on the phone trying to get someone to please just come and fix the Wifi that at&t messed up when they messed with it, and that we had been waiting on to be fixed for FOUR days and that we rely on heavily for business. Yet we miss out on work, call off, dont get work done on time etc. For four days to just be canceled on? Then finally at 7pm after being on the phone for 3 hours were told well nothing we can do. We can maybe come out on Tuesday May 24th. Excuse me? Maybe! I dont think so. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Still dont know why we were "canceled" on after scheduling and waiting for four days. And still no wifi and no appointment to get it fixed, But best believe I know we will be expected to pay our FULL months bill the day it is due. HA what a joke. Most unreliable, unprofessional service I have ever delt with in my life. 0/10!

Desired outcome: I need my wifi restored this weekend! Before Monday morning when I have to have wifi to work. My husband and I have both missed enough work and want to be compensated for something financially.

AT&T Customer service

I went in to the AT&T store in Mayfaire located in Wilmington, NC as I need help with my phone. It kept saying not backed up and calls were failing to Android for meds. I have an iPhone. I am 84 and don’t understand technology. The manager had a lady formed visiting and seemed bothered that I was asking “stupid” questions. He was very rude and reluctantly “looked” and according to him fixed my phone. Once I returned home I realized my phone wasn’t working at all. I could not make or receive calls from anyone or text messages. I am certain he did something to my phone via my account. This phone is my lifeline and need it in case of an emergency. What he did is wrong and I still need my phone fixed as well as getting to the bottom of this incident.

Desired outcome: I don’t feel he should be allowed to work somewhere with people’s private information.

AT&T AT&T-Changed Cell Phone Provider to AT&T-Agreed Rate & Discounts not honored

An AT&T 'In-Home Expert', Mitchell Swanson, personally visited us on 4/28/22 to change our Cell Phone provider from Verizon to AT&T.

After several email exchanges to get the agreed plan right, he came back on 4/30/22 to confirm our agreement and to get us to sign (to fill his quota for April, he offered us $200 in discounts as long as we signed that day which we accepted).

The agreement was providing Unlimited Elite on each cell phone at $75 per phone less $10 for AutoPay & Paperless Billing, less $10 for Customer Owned Phone, and less $15 for Internet bundling (i.e., $40/phone). When asked what the approximate Fees & Taxes would be, he estimated $15. We currently have AT&T Internet 300 which he agreed to keep the same at $45/m. Also agreed was to add unlimited International Calling for $15/m (limited countries but included UK which was the main one for us).

On departing, when asked about when the International Calling would take effect, he stated he would do this as soon as he left the house.

His follow-up emails with the Plan details were incorrect and it took 2 further emails before he got it close, but even then, it had the wrong Plan Name (Unlimited Starter instead of Unlimited Elite which he offered us at $5/line extra as we are AARP Members - card shown to him - but keeping the same discounts, international calling, and internet).

When the estimated bill came, it bore little resemblance to what we had agreed hence several email exchanges did not put this right despite his assurance he would get it corrected. Also, we made a 21-minute call to the UK on the Sunday, 5/01/22, which was billed to us at $63 + tax despite the fact that we should have been on the International Plan from 4/30/22 evening.

Our actual bill (which comes out on 5/21/22 via autopay) is $239.16 despite Mitchell Swanson's email (4/28/22) quoted "Once Taxes and fees I would put you at $145-$150 a month for all services, internet and cell phones."

I have spent quite some time trying to get our bill corrected, both with the 'In Home Expert' who made the agreement with us, and to AT&T direct, but no luck, just assurances it would be done.

The Plan Quote sent on 4/28/22 was correct other than stating the Unlimited Starter plan instead of the Unlimited Elite as specifically agreed (quote gave $35/ cell phone + we agreed $5 extra for the Elite plan, hence $$40/cell phone).

Considering the amount of time sending emails, texts, and calls, we are extremely upset at this apparent switch and bait tactic, and no mention of when we would receive the $200 rebate despite repeated requests for an approximate date.

From some basic research, it appears that the 'In-Home Expert' may not work directly for AT&T, but rather a contracted salesman with given quotas to meet. During calls to him to ensure the plan was as per agreement, he stated that AT&T cannot provide the plan he agreed, but that he would resolve this and make sure we got what we agreed to; this has not yet happened and once the money is taken out in 4 days' time, we will have a very difficult job getting anything resolved.

The anxiety caused to my wife and I has brought on health problems.

In desperation, kindly help.

AT&T Land line - [protected]

On Thursday 5/12/22 AT&T arbitrarily disconnected the above noted home land line _ this was NOT ordered! We have been trying since Friday AM to get this line reconnected and have spent numerous hours on the phone with AT&T to no avail. All bills are current and paid in full. Because of this decision, AT&T has left our home with NO service and unreachable. Would like to know why and who made this decision and how quickly can our phone be reinstated.

Desired outcome: Would like my phone reconnected, a refund for the days not in use and an apology for the hardship and run around we have gotten

AT&T Security alarm service

AT&T used a third party to change our home alarm service. The employee did not explain what he was doing other than he was upgrading our system. This made sense since the alarm hadn’t worked for years. We then began receiving bills from AT&T and brinks for an alarm system. We called to cancel the alarm with AT&T but they did not stop charging us. When I called today they were awful. Playing games. They blamed us for the problem. They would hang up on us or send us to another department that had nothing to do with home security. One persons accent was so bad. I couldn’t understand her. I asked over and over to speak to someone else but she refused. I was told AT&T doesn’t have that alarm system any more but I had to call and cancel or they would keep charging me. This isn’t the first time we’ve had problems. I tried to cancel the new phone service we signed up for today after all the trouble they gave us but was told they couldn’t do that because I didn’t know the pass code. It wasn’t a problem when I signed up for it. They had no problem taking the security answers.at one point I was told I have to call back tomorrow because that office is closed. I waited an hour and called them and the office wasn’t closed. This is absolutely the worst customer service I have ever received. I believe they may have committed fraud against my elderly husband. I’ve spent a total of 7 hours on the phone with them today.I’m going back to sprint even if it cost $100.00 more a month and doesn’t have a hotspot or allow calls in Canada and mexico

Desired outcome: Warn others. To get it all straightened out. Cancel the phone service and get a real apology.

AT&T Mobile unlimited elite mobile phones

We bought four phones for Christmas, and below is the printed-out bill with the amount highlighted for $264.74 per month stated by representative Destiny the manager at the Mantua Branch in New jersey phone [protected]. Each bill since inception has been close to $300 per month. We have spoken with Destiny three times with no results. We have talked with the customer service twice with no results. This is fraud as we were told one amount and have been given another since the opening of the contract and they just keep stating we need to revise the contract in order to get the bill down. While Destiny is pleasant, we are not getting the results that she specifically told us as she used a highlighter to state our monthly bill. AT&T is a huge company and should be able to honor their agreement without giving us the run around. To me this is switch and bait they in essence conned us into buying 4 phones for a certain amount for Christmas and we have been charged incorrectly starting with the very first bill. We have tried to correct this with no results.

Desired outcome: We would like the bill quoted and agreed upon to us in the agreement for the amount of $264.74 to be honored without giving up any features/benefits that we were promised in the original agreement.

A lot of times it would be out. I have called numerous time and spoke with customer service and tech support about the problem and still haven’t received any help or solution to the problem.

Desired outcome: I would like my roof fixed and I feel Shouldn’t pay for service I could not watch or enjoy.
