AT&T
Reviews and Complaints

This company is a complete scam I worked for them in 2014 and they pulled out the state without paying there employees. We all received fraudulent checks by them for large amounts of money. This company is run by this guy named Rick Henderson he gets people to work for them pay next to nothing and when he thinks people are catching on he pulls out . Please be advised that this company is fake they just want a head count and then give you promises of money and all you get Is a closed bank account and a big headache.

AT&T assured me prior to installation, that the internet speed would support my four homeschooled children. I explained that they would use video streaming, and would all need connectibility at the same time. We had problems DAILY. We could not even connect at times. Most of the time they couldn't watch their videos- connection was just too slow! I called NUMEROUS times to try to get the problem resolved. We had service techs back to our house on two occasions. After trying to get problem resolved, I had no choice but to cancel service. That's when another set of problems arose: The date that service was to be terminated came and went and service was still on. I returned all equipment (via UPS, per instructions)(I have receipt for all), and reps for AT&T say they show where it was returned, but service wasn't cancelled. Wow. I am now dealing with ongoing billing issues. I spoke with one supervisor (after requesting one on several occasions), who assured me they would remove balance due- even early termination fee, after all this was a problem with THEIR service. I continue to receive bills (and daily automated calls) for past due bill. The employee names and ID numbers of reps I managed to get are: Jonathan JK372B, Jenny JD0818, and Michael 992P. I have questioned whether these are actual employee names and ID's as SEVERAL times I would ask for them (after being told bill would be "taken care of, but it's a lengthy process", only to be told they could not give their name/ID due to "security purposes". Unbelievable. I have NEVER had a more frustrating experience dealing with a company. Prior to my move, I was with Comcast for ten years. Perfect service always. I am also an AT&T wireless customer (for 20 years), and will be canceling that service as well. I have never had problems with the wireless service but the home services has turned me against AT&T.

At&t is a total rip offfffffff! They claim every month that I have gone "over" my data usage and bill me a ridiculous amount of money. I'm not working at the moment so it's difficult to pay my bill on time, but it ALWAYS gets paid but they insist on charging me a $40 "reconnection" fee when all they have to do is push a button to reconnect my services. It's clearly high way robbery but yet they stand firm
In their stealing. It's the absolute WORSE company to do business with. I recommend Sprint over them any day of the week... They wouldn't even allow me to make a payment arrangement claiming that I haven't been with them long enough. They are heartless and totally insensitive about their customers financial situation. I couldn't be any more disappointed... Very unpleased about the service as well. I have wifi at my home, yet and still every fricken minute, somehow, as I'm on the web I notice that my wifi is consistently being disconnected and I have to go back to my settings and log back on. It's disgusting and I do t like... Period point blank... Uughhhhhhhh 👎

I cancelled my wireless plan with AT&T on March 29, 2015 and paid a full cycle bill on April 6, 2015. Received another billing statement around end of April for final payment. AT&T only credited the monthly service fee for 1 phone line out of 3 and indicated on statement for the 1st phone line as follow: You removed this plan on 3/29. You received a credit for the days you did not use this plan 3/29 – 4/17.

AT&T credited the service fee on the 2nd phone line and charged the same amount back to the line by indicating the line was added on 3/29 and is charged at the new plan rate from 3/29 – 4/17.

What's more unreasonable is on the 3rd line, AT&T simply charged a service fee by indicating the line was added on 3/29 and is charged at the new plan rate from 3/29 – 4/17.

Spoke with 3 different customer service reps and a manager. The first customer service transferred me to another department as he was not able to explain the reason but did agree with my dispute. I was told to call back to the same 800 number as it was incorrectly transferred.

The second rep hanged up on me after 30 minutes of research and was not able to explain.

The third rep attempted to convince me the billing statement was correct and was not able to explain the arithmetic. I asked for a manager and was transferred to a manager who was not able to explain and simply told me that I am not entitled to any credit.

P.S. I terminated my plan on 3/29/15 and am being charged $58 for the first 2 lines cancelled (Plan for 3rd line expired) and my plan was supposed to be expired on 4/17/15 and I had this plan since the late 90’s when they were Cingular.

I have had At&t high speed DSL (1.5mbps) for approximately 7 years. The speed has been pretty consistent for much of that time. I also have At&t cell phone service which is not that great in my area (neither is Srint or Verizon). To resolve the cell phone signal issue, several years ago I purchased a Microcell signal booster which works with DSL. This greatly helped for quite some time; however, the minimum Internet speed for proper booster operation is 1.5mbps. Lately, the DSL speed has been sporadic which causes my cell to drop calls, not respond to incoming calls, and conversation breakup. All equipment is either new or in good working order. To resolve my issue, I contacted At&t to upgrade my DSL service to a higher advertised speed or to get there U-verse service. I was informed that the advertised higher speeds DSL is not available nor U-verse service. After making numerous calls to At&t sales, customer support and even the technical department, I was informed that there is no formal complaint process. I did get one manager that would be truthful with me and stated that At&t does not plan to dump any significant amount of money into DSL because they are switching customers to U-verse. I was told that my only option at this point is to drop At&t and find a better ISP. At least the manager was truthful. I know that my complaint is legitimate and that I am not just wining.

I have had more problems with AT&T in the last few weeks than I have had in the last year. I have had a lot of dropped calls and poor voice/call quality recently. Also, the LTE reception is not good where I live and travel a lot. Now that the foliage is on the trees, the reception is even worse in the area and non-existent inside of my house. My data speeds are quite slow as well. I am lucky to get even 3 to 5MB download speeds. There are also a lot of dead zones on AT&T. I use to have Verizon, and I had strong coverage everywhere-even inside of buildings. If you live in Cincinnati, Ohio, I would recommend going with Verizon.

I called them to assist me in setting up a modem. I had to sign up for a monthly billing which I was told was $15/month. I eventually canceled and they kept billing me because they had my wrong email address. I then switched over from DSL (cancelled) and moved to Cable Modem service. They have continued to charge me $15/ month even though I didn't have DSL service. I spoke to billing support for over an hour (yes, I got disconnected once as well) and they tell me that I cannot speak to a supervisor and that not only is the technician not authorized to make any credits but also she said my account is not elegible. such a scam!

I have two charges pending on my US Bank Account in the total amount of $150.01 from AT & T #10336 in Alpharetta, Georgia.
I have called my bank twice they can't help me until the money comes out of my account. Which then they will dispute it.
But then I have $150.01 of my money that I cannot use.
I called A T & T and they show no charges of $70.32 made on April 15th and $79.69 made on April 16th. But my US Bank account shows that these charges have been approved but not authorized. I said I do not want this money taken out of my account. They say there is nothing they can do about it, because no crime has occured yet it just about to occur. This is ridiculous. I don't want my money taken out of my bank account, I didn't authorize it to be taken. I feel helpless.

I just received this "death threat" from at&t. I posted a article on my face book page entitled at&t sucks, 8 reasons why at&t sucks and immediately after posting it, i received this death threat! Yes, at&t is spying and stalking me and my family! I am a victim of the crime called "community stalking". This is a secret crime that is being committed in the united states and at&t has been victimizing me and my family for over 7 - years. They try to control everything that i do. And use electronic devices as a means to torture me through my walls. Yes, they spy, stalk, harass, and send death threats to me and my family. They have hacked my computers, cell phones, email, financial accounts and everything that i own. Yes, it is illegal! At&t involves people in the city of ridgeland, ms in their crimes. They use neighbors, mail carriers, officials, whoever is willing to do the crime. The connection with the airplane is that i have been posting complains to "pissed consumer" online and i have been reporting an airplane that flies low over my home constantly. The plane makes very loud noise and does this to threaten me. I documented the date and times on "pissed consumer" earlier today and yes it is 7:09 pm and it continues. I just have not documented it! People please be aware of what is going on under your noses! People are being victimized and tortured by at&t and their participants>>>>>>>>> please be advised!

We were told we had to switch from DSL to U-verse in Nov., 2014 by AT&T
Nothing but problems since then. Started with 1 unit (NVG50), speed is 2.87 MBP. Very Slow was told it would be faster than DSL.
Constantly loosing the internet, yesterday lost service 6 times during the day. Was told the modem was probably bad, than that both modem's were bad and we could not get a technician until early Wed. morning. We are a business that revolves around using the internet.
This morning I have lost the internet twice and have only been to work for 30 min.

Does anyone out there know where we can lodge a complaint other than with AT&T customer support. Doesn't seem to go very far with them, or a business taking preference over residential.

We have been with at&t u-verse since 2009.
Each year they work with us to keep our rates where we can stay with them. This year has been different. We dropped off out land line service in november in an attempt to offset increases with our t-mobile cell services. Come january our bill is back up to costing more than when we had the phone services. Called twice to renew discounts this month with no success. We are now going to cut the cord like many others have. At&t u-verse is driving us away instead of trying to keep us.

My sons phone was stolen. We went though the insurance claim process with Assurion. My son received his phone yesterday. He could NOT activate it after multiple attempts. He contacted my wife via the computer. My wife looped in AT&T - Amy at 11:33 AM today. She explained that the phone was not working. AT&T Amy then contact my son through email and determined that the SIM card was bad. She then called my wife at 11:43 AM from [protected] and told her that he had a bad SIM card. She instructed my wife to have him to go the the AT&T store and get a new one.
He's in St. Louis at school with no car. He got a taxi to take him to the AT&T store. That was an $83 taxi bill. Your insurance company, Assurion has charged me $125 for this phone that did NOT have an operating SIM card as validated by my phone company, AT&T. I got informed of this when I got home. I called AT&T who initially understood how aggravating this was. They sent me to YOUR insurance company. The lady I spoke with was obnoxious and talking over me not giving me a chance to complete the scenario. She told me they do not send out bad phones and they do not care and told me to call AT&T. Now angry, I call AT&T again. This time, they were less that attentive. I made them aware of the experience again and told them the least they can do is cover the taxi bill of $83. They said they understood and offered $25. I asked to speak to a Manager. She offered $30.
Here's what I know. I've been a customer since early 2000. I pay a monthly insurance premium to AT&T- no one else.. When I have an issue, I call AT&T. Assurion sent my son a phone with a bad SIM and he could not use it. They charged me $125 for that "service". I would like $125 credited to my account.

I signed up for AT&T Uverse, internet and home phone on 06/17/2014. At the time I signed up AT&T contracted with me to provide home phone, internet and cable services for a total rate of $120.95 a month until 06/17/2016. I was thrilled about this rate b/c it was $40.00 less then what I was paying directv. However, installation turned out to be a nightmare. AT&T told me on two separate occasions that they would be coming out and then never called and/or showed up. Then when they did show up they couldn't get it all done and had to come back days later to finish. As a result, I missed three full days of work. To make up for the horrible installation AT&T advised me that they would also include all of the movie channels (except Cinemax) for free in my $120.95 package. The fact that my rate was to be $120.95 a month and that it was to include all of the movie channels including HBO is reflected on my first few bills which clearly show tv, internet and phone rates adding up to $120.95 a month and state that all the rates are in effect until June of 2016. My bills also reflect that I am supposed to have an HBO promotion through June of 2016. Well after installation, AT&T has continuously and unilaterally modified the amount they bill me for my services every single month. Specifically, they have just removed my promotions one after another without my consent and without any legal justification for doing so. I am billed a different rate every single month. My current bill is almost $180.00 ($60.00 more then what I contacted for) and at times I have been billed well over $200.00 ($80.00 more then what I contracted for). I have reported AT&T to the Tennessee Department of Consumer Affairs and they sent a letter to the Department advising that I did, in fact, contact in at $120.95 through June of 2016 but that I made one unspecified and unidentified change to my account in October which supposedly changed everything (this never happened). AT&T also told the Department of Consumer Affairs that my new rate (after the supposed change) should be $139.00 a month through November of 2016 (this was in November of this year). However, my current bill is for $169.00 a month - so they can't even get my monthly billing rate right when they represent what it supposedly is to the government. I have spoken to numerous AT&T agents and have been quoted as many as three monthly rates during one telephone call and have had two agents tell me yes my rate should be $120.95 a month but they aren't going to honor it but they can give me a "great" new promotion whereby I wouldn't have HBO for free anymore and get to pay them an additional $40.00 a month for less service then I contracted in at - great option, huh? What AT&T is doing is illegal and they are brazen about it. They admit they have their telephone calls recorded so it would be very easy for a supervisor to go back and listen to what my contract was and fix it but they refuse to do it. Instead they keep raising my monthly rate by around $20.00 a month for the exact same services. I have now reported them to the Tennessee Department of Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau and am speaking to an attorney regarding a possible lawsuit for violation of the Tennessee Consumer Affairs Act. It is my hope that it will turn into a class action like the one consumers just won against Sprint. In the meantime, I would seriously advise anyone looking at possible cable, phone or internet companies to stay far, far away from AT&T

I called AT&T after receiving a letter indicating that my credit card did not go through for the autopay. The AT&T representative attempted to run my card for the pending charges (apparently three times) and indicated that the charges would not go through. I proceeded to provide a second credit card which the representative indicated worked. Lo and behold, I checked the account for my first CC and there were three authorizations for over $280 for a total of well over $1000 that they charged to my two credit cards. Follow up calls to AT&T were met with the reply that they only saw one charge received on my account. The credit card company indicates that I can dispute the three charges, the only recourse I have at this time. I wish there was a class action lawyer willing to take on AT&T for this kind of trouble.

If you have AT&T U-verse check your bills they just sent out they just raised all their monthly rates on equipment, services etc.. you may find it's time to shop around as I plan to do! It's time we go after these money hungry, nickle and dime the consumer companies.. They over charge us to begin with and now they are doing what the airlines have done nickel and dime us to death..

Received a replacement Modem by Ups on 12/5/2014 . Was instructed to return old modem to AT&T due to it being Hijacked . Went to UPS and was told the y could not return because was not permitted to return Model NVG510 ( AT&T rules) . So, I went to FED-EX (got same story ) . AT&T is billing me $689.00 for a $37.00 modem . I have no credit, no bank account, and no income ! Kiss my shiny hiney at&t . If I cannot return like you said I could then I cannot pay either ! Kiss OFF !

I am being charged a past due amount for a bill I paid on 11/01/2014. I have spoken with AT&T and it appears to me that they seem to think it is a joke. I chatted with a Dave G he's offering me additional service I told him I don't want. I spoke with a floor supervisor named Jacob who also offered me service I didn't want. But my bill question was of no importance to them. Also this Jacob fella hung up the phone on me. After looking at my bill what they have done is charge me for part of the month 10/11/2014 - 11/10/2014 then turned around and charged me for the full month 11/11/2014 - 11/22/2014. As you can see this is incorrect billing. I should be billed from 10/11/2014 - 11/10/2014 as are all my bills. Which should be due 12/13/2014

After purchasing a product and then told I would receive 100.00 back towards my billing cycle in 60 to 90 days, should I take a 2 year contract, I did not receive said 100.00 credit.
I put a call into the company "customer service" last month and told I would receive the credit this month.
The credit never came.
This month I called "customer service" and was told that they do not have this program and I would not get a refund. When I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager I was told they would call me back. I never received a phone call.
Thumbs down!
