AT&T outage service contact problems

My telephone land line service went out and I can't reach a human being to discuss the matter. All I can get is a recording about "call volumes running very high" and a voice robot that gives me the same spiel about how interested they are in my problem, blah, blah...yada, yada.

I've had this same service for over 30 years at my home and never had a problem getting someone until AT&T took over for SBC. Their responsiveness just sucks big time. Apparently they expect me to sit at home for days waiting for a call about when a tech will come to fix the problem. Even more irritating, I found out I have their "Line Backer" service which allegedly will fix everything at no cost to me...except my valuable time.

I was thinking of getting their U-verse TV, phone, computer bundle, but they can forget it now.

AT&T regulatory cost recovery charge

If you refer to the "additional charges" explanation document on ATTs website it describes the highest amount of Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge for my zip / state of North Carolina as $0.62.

Further it clarifies the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) as a Component of the Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge.

I therefore submit that the following two separate charges combined exceed the highest cost of $0.62 stated in the explanation of additional charges and request that the additional two charges totalling $0.18 be reversed immediately.

TELCOM RELAY SERVICE SURCHARGE $0.09
REGULATORY COST RECOVERY CHARGE $0.62

AT&T technical incompetence

On May 21 or 22 I spent a LONG time with one of your female employees trying to figure out why I only have snow on my TV screen. I have a DVR and 2 slave units on remote TV sets. The main set is fine, the second set in the living room was the problem and the third set in a rec room is fine. After a series of diagnostic checks she finally told me that the DVR slave unit was malfunctioning so she would set up an appointment for a technician to come and replace it. The appointment was set for from 12 noon until 4pm on May 23.

When it got to be 4:20 I called ATT and, after the usual series of redundant questions, I was referred to a male technician who said he could fix my problem. Guess I need to apologize for my irate conversations because I have found that, at my age, there is a reverse correlation between age and patience, and I'm in my 86th year!

So, he suggested I do about 2 or 3 things, and I had my picture back! So, after talking with an incompetent service person, being told it was the slave unit and that a technician would come to replace it (WHICH NEVER HAPPENED), and waiting all afternoon Saturday, he fixed it in a minute. Too bad you don;t do a better job screening your applicants! I own a company that requires excellent customer interface and, if I treated my customers like you do yours, I'd be out of business. TOO BAD THIS COMPLAINT WON'T EVER REACH MANAGEMENT SO THEY CAN FIX A PROBLEM THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE.

Agreed, I think they get away with it cause it is a monopoly all over again. You either have them or you have a VOIP line which will go down if there is a loss of power.

AT&T reward not received

I signed up for AT&T Uverse for my home in January. While the service is fine, the $200 cash back promised when I signed up was never received. Apparently that is handled through their rewards center. Supposedly they sent a letter out after I ordered my service, which was installed Jan. 18, saying I should go to the online rewards center to receive my $200. When I signed up I had to keep the U200 package for 2 months before I could received the reward. But the reward, however, expired at the end of January. Does that make any sense to you? I checked the rewards center and under the "expired/disqualified rewards" tab, I have no rewards listed. That doesn't make sense to me either.
Like I said the service is fine, but when you sign up don't count receiving any cash back.

After I posted this I was still miffed so I called the rewards center number- [protected]- for the third time and asked for a supervisor. As a "one-time courtesy" they were able to issue my $200 check. We will see if it turns up.

I was told 2/2 or 2/3 that I would get a $100 Visa gift card within 30 days of installation which was 3/16. I called on 4/17 and was told I would receive in 4-6 weeks; called 6/2 and told "just approved yesterday" - today I got a card saying "records indicate I did not purchase all services required to qualify" - so I called and the woman in Rewart Dept. was quite rude, telling me I don't have an account. Ends up my account number was wrong in Reward records! Told it would be mailed on 7/13 - but we'll see!

AT&T is a ripoff
pasadena, US
Jun 06, 2009 11:02 am EDT

AT&T did the same thing to me. I never received the original letter that they talked about unless I missed it through the 5 tons of promotional mail. I called their center and they told me that I had to claim my rewards so we went to the rewards center and there is nothing there at all. They put me through to the rewards center and they tell me that they have authorized it and sent out 2 separate cheks for $100 each. Today I get a letter in the mail saying that I did not met the qualifications... That is not anything like the original sales rep explained. In fact the original sales rep said a check would come out automatically because after working with AT&T in the past I knew they are pretty shady. So I went back into the rewards center and there is still no listing for expired or unqualified claims. This is a total scam.

I have a pending charge on my checking account for $27.00. This charge was not authorized by me. If paid, I seek a refund of same. If being treated as an automatic charge on my account, I want it stopped now.

AT&T usbi charge

Recently I have received my regular phone bill(AT&T) which included long distance with internet. But Today i recieved my phone bill and was charged $14.82 for USBI. My sister called them and they said that someone had sign up for the USBI account. Which we have not sign up for. So we have been ripped off, because we have not ordered USBI.

AT&T is sodomite and believes all the mass evils sodomites do and believe. You will scream in the Lake Which burneth with fire and brimstone forever if you do not get saved. Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish: Luke 13:3, 5. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them. They shew their sin as Sodom; they hide it not: Isaiah 3:9. For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of GOD is eternal Life through JESUS CHRIST our Lord: Romans 6:23

UPDATE REGARDING SODOMITE AT&T ! FOR THE LOVE OF FILTHY LUCRE, AT&T IS ATTEMPTING TO STEAL STEAL STEAL FROM CUSTOMERS WHOM ATTEND RESTAURANTS, SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS, GOURMET RESTAURANTS, FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS, COFFEE SHOPS AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS THAT HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS. THEY DO THIS, E.G, BY "HORNING IN" ON LEGITIMATE SERVICES. McDONALD'S, FOR EXAMPLE, CONTRACTS WITH AN OUTFIT CALLED WAYPORT. IF YOU AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF WAYPORT, YOU ARE ALLOWED INTERNET ACCESS FOR NO FEES, CHARGES NOR HIDDEN FEES. AT&T, AFTER TWO HOURS, WILL CUT YOU OFF FROM INTERNET ACCESS! YOU ARE THEN SHOWN A PAGE TELLING YOU TO AGREE TO AT&T TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED BACK ON. THIS IS AN ABOMINATION AND A VIOLATION OF McDONALD'S INTENT TO GRANT INTERNET ACCESS WITHOUT FEES, CHARGES, ETC. MATTER OF FACT, MAC'S HAS ELIMINATED SOME PROBLEMS THAT HINDERED HERETOFORE. AT&T SHOULD BE FINED OUT OF EXISTENCE FOR THIS EXTORTION ABOMINATION AND DECEIT ON ITS FACE. READ THE REST OF MY EXPOSES REGARDING AT&T. THERE ARE MORE: EVEN A WEBSITE EXPOSING THE MONSTROSITY AND SICKENING DEVIL THAT AT&T HAS BECOME. AGAIN NOTE: I DO NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER, HELD A SHORT INTEREST VS.

AT&T HAS TURNED VERY, VERY CORRUPT

American Telephone and Telegraph is AT&T. AT&T took care of my great grandfather, my grandfather, my grandmother, and, in some part, my father. That means through payment of stock dividends. Saying all of the following, I am not a short. I get no pleasure in sharing this. I only share because every means of negotiation has led to snubs or no response at all from AT&T. Here's the incident:
In 2002 or 2003, I switched to AT&T to get their world net ISP service. I also switched to AT&T to get their long-distance and international long distance service. I had inquired about their service to a country overseas. Late in 2003, a salesman called and offered AT&T service to that country for .23/minute to calls made to a cell; .18/minute to a landline. I accepted the salesman's offer.
When I received the bill, I immediately noticed that I was charged between 4.425/minute and 8.01/minute instead of .23/minute. I e-mailed AT&T and a representative of the outfit e-mailed back to me saying that the charges were correct and no adjustments were warranted. I called customer service and the representative said she could immediately perceive what had happened. There had been a 'computer error' and she would credit me, no problem.
I went on vacation and when I returned, I discovered that, not only had my bills not been credited, but that AT&T had cut my phone and internet access and referred my 'overdue' account to a collection agency! It should be strongly emphasized that AT&T on 4 occasions had stolen $25 from my bank account when they had no right {I was in the right on disputed billings; they stupidly depend upon a computer like all large corporations} and two of the violations had occurred by this point in time. They illegally, wickedly and immorality store your debit card when they promise not to. I inquired around and eventually found a representative of the company, a Mr. Justin Williams. Told him what had happened. He looked in it, called me and e-mailed me and told me that the collection agency had been called off and that my account would be credited. I noticed a month or two later that the severe overcharges had been credited.

A month or two later, a salesman working for AT&T called me and offered me a rate of .18/minute to a cell; .16/minute to a landline. I accepted the offer. Immediately I noticed the same occurence: I had been charged between 4.425/minute and 8.01/minute for calls to a cell. The same thing happened as I related in the previous paragraph; the rep right away said that she could tell that the 'computer had not been adjusted', and eventually my bill was credited before they cut my internet, e-mail, phone service and before referring my account to the wolves: an evil, lecherous, criminal, illegal, heinous, atrocious, filthy collection agency.

A month or two later, in July, 2004, a salesman with the firm called offering me .16/minute to a cell; .14/minute to a landline. I accepted the offer. He promised the new, reduced rate would be seen in my bill of September, 2004, as the 'cycle' ran from the 16th of the month to the 15th of the following month. That would seem correct as you pay to get on, then get billed roughly a month later for calls.

In December, 2004, I went on vacation. I sent AT&T $400 extra as AT&T used to be a good company and, out of loyalty for all they had done in the past for the buying public as well as the shareholders, I had been sending them money in advance, any way. I just happened to check to see how much credit I had on my bill since I was vacationing in the country I had been calling so did not need to make international long distance calls. Was I ever disturbed to see that AT&T not only did not show nearly a 300.00 credit; AT&T had billed me for nearly $300! The third time did not turn out to be a charm. AT&T had cashed my check; charged me between 4.425 and 4.685 per call, cut my internet service and all my important e-mails were lost!

Very criminal: AT&T, in the tradition of Enron and Arthur Andersen, cuts your internet service, hence, all the vital e-mails are gone. In addition, I had worked out an arrangement in which I would pay 16.50 to have a message left to all callers while I was on vacation. It was understood that I would pay the fee and receive unlimited messages that could be left in return. Not only did my phone stop at only 12 messages, but AT&T had attached other fees on top of the 16.50 and taxes! I was very angry that AT&T had deceived me regardling the worthless service and the high bill for the worthless service {it was worthless to only get 12 calls taken: most of the slots were filled up by solicitors}.
AT&T had committed fraud and had deceived. They docked my debit card 25.00 (again and I never give any one permission to do such a violation to a person). AT&T can't use the excuse of 'we didn't know e-mails could be lost'. Were that the case, just don't offer the fraudulent so-called service. That's as bad as a bank renting you a safe deposit box, then not allowing you access because there's a bank holiday: FDR.
Further, I saw more breaches of promise. Upon study of the fraud and overcharges on the part of AT&T for long distance charges, fees, international long distance charges, I noticed that AT&T had dishonestly raised my calls to the cell from the promised .16/minute to .22/minute. This was breach of promise. And, of course unjustifiable as costs keep going down for telecommunications companies doing international long distance service.
Furthermore, no notice was mailed stating that rates would go up in 90 days or whenever. Then looked at the past bills and noticed that the promised .16/minute to a cell had never been implemented. Observed that I was charged .21/minute for calls to a landline; .22/minute for calls to a cell fone beginning September, 2004. AT&T is responsble; the company cannot say 'he was not an authorized representative. it had been stuck in to their computers as the reps had confirmed it the first two corrections of the fraudulent overcharges.

So I went through the cycle again: tried to get the fraud settled via e-mails and received rude responses. Then called the number and told the rep what had happened. This time the rep refused. So I asked for a supervisor. The supervisor said she would look in to it - no apologies nor offer to correct. I called back and another rep said the same and her supervisor said the same: no apologies nor offer to correct. So attempted to call Mr. Williams again and a different middle level mgt spoke with me. He refused to help me and said the bill was right. All attempts to explain to him the situation, what had happened before and to reason with him failed. When I called back, again Mr. Williams did not answer and a different guy in middle management told me he could not help me: my account had been referred to a collection agency.

So I called the attorney general. In some states, the attorney general offices need reformation. In my state, a recording came on saying to call a different number AFTER I had gone to a lawyer. Out of loyalty to AT&T, I still hoped the mobsters would be reasonable. I made a huge mistake. I wrote Joliet, IL, where the checks were being sent and explained everything to them. There were no responses, and bills kept coming. AT&T sent more bills, adding interest when AT&T owed me! In May, 2005, called the rep back and asked for copies of the bills. They said they were in archives! Already in archives! So it took 3 weeks or longer, but finally the copies were mailed. Most were included, but the December, 2005 bill {Nov 16-Dec 15}, where I had written a check for $400 was not.
I went to the BBB{ignorant then}, then called the Attorney general again. Still got the recording. I wrote, but no response. I then sent a bill to AT&T demanding the firm pay me for what they owed as well as credit my account for a few months of internet access and phone service (since important e-mails were lost and my e-mail address was lost when they irresponsibly cut my internet access and my international long distance and long distance had been cut: the PIN# would not work and I would've been overcharged vastly yet again in any event). I wrote Joliet, IL many times and received no response. I emailed AT&T on their website and received no response.
Began receiving bills from a collection agency in California. I wrote them explaining what happened and demanded they rectify the situation. Result? More billings from the collection agency. I wrote the CEO (don't know if Mr. Stephenson was yet there) and on the envelope also addressed the Director of Customer Relations, the Director of Public relations and the director of the international long distance dialing dept. No response. Then I made copies of all the bills, enclosed in a manila envelope and wrote addressing the envelope to some of the members on the BOD. I've forgotten how I found some of the names; don't think it was Value Line. I also made a copy of my bank statement proving that AT&T had cashed my check and that if AT&T would pay me for the expense of getting the bank to make a copy of the front and back of the canceled check, I would fax that to them. No response from them, either.

I very nicely told AT&T every time in my correspondence that I wanted to work something out with them - credit for the calls on future bills, a discount in the internet service, something. All efforts resulted in snubbing. They had taken me to a collection agency and they were through with me. What a deplorable way to treat the people who pay your salary! Customers like I are the lifeblood of their company.

I still have the bills that Joliet, IL sent to me. The state attorney, FCC have done nothing to force AT&T to reimburse me. Such ingratitude! I was a loyal customer. From what I've been learning, AT&T is doing to same unscrupulous duplicity and nastiness to other customers. In all my correspondence, I told AT&T I am willing to work with them. Let's work something out - reimbursements, free internet for 3 months, discounts on long distance calls for a year, communicate with me, the buying public: something. I'm not going to go to a lawyer against AT&T. All my pleadings with the firm were unanswered.

NECESSARY RESTITUTION NOW ON THE PART OF AT&T:

- AT&T has to award me damages because they went to a collection agency vs. me. Collection agencies have to be banned until they cease and desist forever the presumption that you are guilty until you prove your innocence, but that's beyond the scope of this expose.
- AT&T must restitute the 100.00 that they illegally, immorally and surreptitiously docked from my bank account by lying. I only authorize one-at-a-time debits. And AT&T must award damages for the mental stress.
- AT&T must pay for my time and the bank fees to reproduce the front and back of the check that I mailed to them on or about December 5, 2004.
- AT&T has to pay for the valuable and vital e-mails that I lost or else pay a database repair co. to retrieve.
- The Board of Directors at AT&T must go. They do not answer to the public that pays their salary. I have copies of my letters to them.
- AT&T must pay my $300 back plus interest and penalty.
- AT&T has to pay the expense of restoring my credit, and, if necessary, pay the rent, deposit, etc, for as long as necessary if my application to an association, corporation or partnership for a place to live is denied.
- If AT&T refuses to make restitution to its former customers that it bilked, defrauded, extorted - AT&T is to be dissolved by Congress, its assets sold and the proceeds used to pay the customers that they owe. Why Congress? Because the regulatory agencies refuse to do their appointed job. They are to be banned and Congressmen are to be held accountable to we, their constituents who elected them in to office.
- 'Computer glitch' has worn out as an excuse. Surveys as long ago as 1998 have found that computers have resulted in a NET LOSS in office time of 10%, NOT a gain of 500, 1000, 2000, 10000% or more as you might expect. AT&T cannot say 'it was a computer error'. People's feelings are worth more than an idiotic, brain dead computer. But many companies apparently do not like to face reality, apparently.

Often times AT&T won't come up when you type it in the search engine on /link removed/ ATT will bring up a few that pertain to AT&T. You have to type in "Cingular Wireless" or "American Telephone and Telegraph". Or, scroll to the bottom of their home page. Easier: click on the letter "B".

PRIMERICA FRAUD, PYRAMID SCHEME AND ABOMINABLE RIPOFF SCAM: You can be level sure that is true. Check out my blogs. I've also recorded Links and the complaints of others. I know what I'm talking about. I got in to A.L. Williams, Inc, and I'm still awaiting restitution but surely not holding my breath.

If you're foolish enough to think fraudulent charges are income tax deductible, you're a fool. They tell you you are in business for yourself. You cannot deduct ANY of the fees you are assessed, BECAUSE you are NOT investing in keeping your regular employee postiion. All the fees are all thievery. I found out the hard way that a REAL life insurance company PAYS for your training and travel expenses. Furthermore, you pay 225 or more, depending upon how much your upline thinks that they can put over on you. NOT $40, and I've never seen a single verified instance that you get your "investment" back, several claim. And NO ONE falls for the lie that you have to PAY for your background investigation in ANY real job. Primerica KEEPS your money - what deception, fraud and thievery! They don't do a background investigation: look whom they take - any one. Very few would pass a background investigation. They want numbskulls whom will believe any lie; not intelligent souls whom would pass a background investigation. A background investigation contradicts the evil pyramid plan of those at the top of the pyramid. The plan is "recruit, recruit, recruit!". You know well what they brainwash you with.

What a vicious lie that fools no one of even infinitesimal intelligence! The Primerica pyramid is a monstrous ripoff. The rvps, etc, pressure you to BUY the policy. You NEVER get free health ins, any one than you get free death ins.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Primerica is a pyramid scheme and there NEVER has been anything good nor CAN THERE BE. An evil tree cannot produce good fruit: -Matthew 7:15-20. As outlined before, pay the fine, you pathological liar! A.L. Williams surely hasn't made restitution for all that they owe me. You lied! Then you have to pay me a fine. All the exposes have been explained in many, many posts on many, many websites and recorded in books, tracts, tapes and legal documents. Primerica, a part of Citigroup is in part responsible for the current subprime loan mortgage crisis.
You can criticize WHC all you want. I know they have great surgeons. the criticism won't bother me one little bit. The reason you incessantly post lying, ignorant rebuttals is because you panic and cannot afford for the public to know the truth of how you are drilled to "recruit, recruit, recruit". If you go to work any where that's real, you are NOT dependant upon "recruiting" someone to be below you and depend upon his lies to clients and potentail clients in order for you to receive a tiny pittance! You know when it becomes general knowledge, you won't be able to recruit anyone except may be drunkards, pot heads, derelicts, pickpockets, adulterers, adulteresses, shysters, sodomite child molesters: you get the drift.

You were NOT TOLD a tremendous number of truths by your upline rvp, etc. You don't own your company! In addition, you are a captive agent ! Therefore, you fimd yourself lying to YOUR OWN RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN ATTEMPTING TO SELL POLICIES that are NOT the lowest in price and in many instances are not even competitive! And NO ONE falls for the lie that you have to PAY for your background investigation in ANY real job. Primerica KEEPS your money - what deception, fraud and thievery! They don't do a background investigation: look whom they take - any one. Very few would pass a background investigation. They want numbskulls whom will believe any lie; not intelligent souls whom would pass a background investigation. A background investigation contradicts the evil pyramid plan of those at the top of the pyramid. The plan is "recruit, recruit, recruit!". You know well what they brainwash you with.

What a vicious lie that fools no one of even infinitesimal intelligence! The Primerica pyramid is a monstrous ripoff. The rvps, etc, pressure you to BUY the policy. You NEVER get free health insurance, any one than you get free death insurance.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5. Primerica is a pyramid scheme and there NEVER has been anything good nor CAN THERE BE. An evil tree cannot produce good fruit: -Matthew 7:15-20. As outlined before, pay the fine, you pathological liar! A.L. Williams surely hasn't made restitution for all that they owe me. You lied! Then you have to pay me a fine. All the exposes have been explained in many, many posts on many, many websites and recorded in books, tracts, tapes and legal documents. Primerica, a part of Citigroup is in part responsible for the current subprime loan mortgage crisis.

You were NOT TOLD a tremendous number of truths by your upline rvp, etc. You don't own your company! Primerica owns it! Furthermore, you are a captive agent! You are NOT allowed to sell anything except ripoff Primerica. Hence, you find yourself LYING to your loved ones and friends and co-workers attempting to get them to policies, mutual funds, mortgages that are NOT even competitve. Also, do not suit their actual needs. One vile criminal who claimed to be a police officer sold ripoff policies to HIS OWN MOTHER. Some minister of GOD he is! The mortgages are an especial heinous ripoff.
Read my blogs and check out the websites. Type in "Primerica fraud" and simiar titles in to search engines.

AT&T driver ran me and others off the highway

Monday morning, May 18, 2009 at approximately 8:15 am, I was run off Interstate 55 by an AT&T truck driven by a woman. I did not wreck and as I tried to catch up to her she continued her weaving into the other lanes running two other cars out of their lanes. They also were spared from a wreck. I had difficulting identifying the truck because the rear door of her truck was openwhere you normally see a "call this number if you don't like my driving" . The following blue number was on the side of the truck: 8030078. Also, the license number was 67B 9GE and looked to be a Missouri license. I was able to get near enough to see that she was talking on a cell phone and I am quite sure she was not aware of the panic she was creating by weaving back and forth across lanes. I was grateful to leave the highway at my exit near the Busch brewery. I have spent the last 24 hours trying to find some way of communicating to AT&T but as you know AT&T makes it very hard to make a complaint. They need to get this careless person off the road.

DAMN WOMEN DRIVERS! THE HELL WAS SHE DOING OUT OF THE KITCHEN?!?!?

She probably just left the brewery if she was driving as dangerous as you say.

Well, good thing you didn't get in a wreck since you were swerving in and out of traffic trying to keep up with her. If you were able to get the phone number, I'm guessing you would have phoned in your complaint...on your cell, while driving.

AT&T terrible service, terrible

About two weeks ago, my Samsung Epix had an epic failure--the optical mouse stopped working on it. The mouse acts like the directional pad and a select button, so the phone is severely handicapped. I use the phone for business purposes and am frequently on call. The Epix already has it's share of problems with email notifications, but the loss of function of the most important button on the device was the bottom line.

I got online and logged in to my Premier account to see when I would be eligible for an upgrade. The date given was 05/19/2009. So, I decided to call AT&T to see if there was any way to do an early upgrade, or to override my upgrade date by less than two weeks so that I could have a fully-functional work phone again.

As you can imagine, the answers were as grim as the customer service itself.

The first person told me I could do an early upgrade for a $75 fee. I was looking at the HTC Fuze as my replacement phone, and refurbished wasn't going to be a problem. The phone was listing on their site at $427, which I could not afford. By going through the process online of adding a line and stopping once I got to the pricing, I saw that the phone was running for about $249. Of course, some things need to be clarified first.

To buy a phone from AT&T, there are three methods. You can go to a retail store, you can call in your order, or you can go online. There are many different sub-methods, but that covers the basics that we'll be referring to throughout this experience.

Anyway, back to the phone call. The woman told me I needed to talk to someone in their Premier department and tried to transfer me. I didn't have time to waste on hold again, so I opted to call that number later in the day. I called and spoke to a man, told him all about my situation (see first two paragraphs), and was told that I needed to call the original line for that kind of thing. Great. That's officially a runaround.

Later, I called the main line again. Again, they routed me to Premier. This time, I talked to a guy that actually sounded like he wanted to help me. He said he couldn't do anything over the phone that would help me, but told me I could go to a store and have them do a "secure override" to give me the better pricing. He even went to the trouble to find a store that serviced Premier customers and gave me their number. It was, of course, too late to call them that day, but I was looking forward to calling them first thing in the morning.

I spent three hours trying to get someone to answer the phone at their store. Eventually, after just letting it ring about 30 times, a woman answered. I told her what the guy on the phone said, and she told me that her store isn't that kind of store after all and gave me the location of the correct store for that. *sigh*. I called the next store, and I guess this is the point where I started getting furious about the situation. A woman answered the phone with a standard greeting, and I started telling her what I'd been told thus far. Unfortunately, she was too busy talking to people in the store to actually acknowledge what I was saying. I had to repeat my story three times before she finally paid enough attention to slightly get what was going on. Her response? Early upgrade, $75 fee, come into the store. My response? *click*.

eBay became my friend for a few days. I started watching for decent deals on the phone there, but wasn't having much luck. I was starting to sweat it as my on call week was coming up. I ended up winning a bid on a phone that was missing several things that come with it retail, which included the stylus. When the phone actually arrived, it was in far worse condition than what was listed and I paid as much for it as some people were paying for phones still in the box. That's a different story for a different time, however.

I decided that the eBay phone would be temporary and that I would just try to wait for my upgrade date to see if I could get a deal and then resell the eBay phone. I logged in, checked the upgrade site, and something was different--WAY different. The notification that I wasn't yet eligible for early upgrade was still there, make no mistake. Something new was there, too, when I went to look at the refurb Fuze. There was a special offer listed that brought the phone's price to $0.

Now, under all other circumstances I've seen in the past, when I log in to the upgrade site it only shows me that which I am eligible for at that time. So, you can imagine my excitement when I saw that I was currently eligible for something good even though my upgrade time hadn't arrived yet. I started clicking through the order, and noticed that it wasn't giving me the pricing. Of course, I stopped short, but was very much not pleased. After being jerked around by the call centers and the stores, now the website was doing it, too. I felt it was time for another phone call.

I'm not going to bore you with all the details of this scenario. I was passed back and forth several times, but the end result was pretty apparent. Nobody you will ever talk to at AT&T knows anything about the website. They can't give you the same deals, they can't tell you why the site lies to you by telling you you are eligible for things you are not. All they can tell you is to wait until your eligibility is up and then see what deals are around.

Completely. Livid.

Not one person, not one, ever tried to help me. Not one. Every single one of them stayed with their agenda, which is basically to take every penny they can from their customer base. I'm not naive. I realize that the concept of customer loyalty disappeared years ago. Corporations don't care about the end-user. They just take your money and leave you frustrated. I know this, because I've been with almost every major wireless carrier in the USA. To be honest, T-Mobile treated me really well, but I couldn't get service in the building where I work, so I had to switch to either Sprint or AT&T. Since Sprint is on my "never again, even if ordered" list, I tried AT&T. I'd say, given all the pros and cons, they rank with Sprint.

Back to the point. I took screenshots of what the website was showing me, just in case it was something I could ever use. Those shots are currently hosted at my personal website. I haven't been able to use them, because there isn't a department at AT&T that actually cares about them. They clearly show that I'm eligible for something that I'm not.

So, I wait until the 19th to check again. Lo and behold, the offer for the free phone is gone. All the offers are pretty much gone, and once again AT&T wins. Instead of bending very, very slightly to accommodate a customer that wouldn't have had a complaint about anything, now they've created a customer that hates every aspect of their business.

...but wait, there's more!

I mentioned earlier about not having a stylus for my crappy eBay phone. I went in to an AT&T store a few days ago to pick up a replacement, but guess what? They don't carry those. They said to go to the HTC website for that or go to Best Buy and get a generic that won't fit into the phone. It took a gigantic amount of composure to not starting kicking things in the store. Later I found out that most wireless stores don't carry stylus for their products--I called a Sprint store to see if they had one for a Touch Pro, which is their version of the Fuze, and they said the same as AT&T...not that anyone would be terribly surprised.

Still not done.

In my desperate attempts at actually getting a good deal, I repeated the process of checking to see if I was eligible for a discount via the company I work for. I knew that I was, because my online info says I should be getting a 7% discount (woohoo! 7%...) Interestingly enough, I noticed after clicking through all of that and verifying and whatnot that my monthy bill about looked a little less when I next logged in. I decided to check through my paper statements and...I hope you're sitting down...I discovered that they haven't been giving me that pricing since I started service with them over a year ago. This means another wasted afternoon of calling them and having them tell me it's my fault somehow and there's nothing they can do about it and moving forward I'll get my discount.

I've got a little news for you, AT&T: I DON'T CARE. It's a 7% discount only on the main phone, not the data plan or the messaging plan or the other two lines on the plan. It's less than $5 a month. Wow, I could have been $60 richer. At this point, though, I'm fighting for it. They OWE it to me for all the crap they continue to put me through.

I agree with you 100% AT&T can do something I'm too much of a lady to type or say. They pretty much did the same thing to me. In fact, I spoke to Eric Birch who promised that he could help me and stated that he would call me back with any additional information regarding the phone I was interested in purchasing. You know, the info online is pretty limited. He NEVER called back.
The phone I was having problems with was the LG Shine. The sales person was so adamant that the LG Shine was durable and well worth the price. I only got 9 months of use out of that thing. I had it repaired twice unsuccessfully. That made me just cancel my insurance on the thing.
At the current moment I am using some substandard at & t go phone until my contract expires then I will go with a more reputable company. I will hate having to wait a few more weeks for that contract to end, but what other choices do I have at this time.
I have been a customer with cingular/ at&t for close to 10 years. See how they treat their loyal customers. Total [censored]es. I know several other customers who are leaving AT&T for more reputable companies as well.
I hope AT&T goes bankrupt for treating their customers like dung. If it wasn't for the customers they wouldn't be in existance.
I think they were better off when the company was run as Cinglar.

AT&T terrible experience

Bought 2 cell phones and plan from At&T Wireless mobile. Recently Moved to Leisureworld in Silver Spring, Maryland and was unable to make or receive calls from apartment. Just discovered there is extremely limited accessibility here. Have to go outside to make or receive phone calls. Tried to cancel plan as the phone service is worthless here. AT&T refuses to end contract without penalty fee.

Questioned what the sense of having a phone service with no network access! Totally disappointed in this company and will never use AT&T services again. They have no sense of customer service. We had to get a landline through comcast. Called customer service at AT&T which did not get us anywhere.

I purchased two new phones with ATT Wireless in the store on Fulton street Brooklyn New York. This was an upgrade because I have been a customer with ATT for many years. I didn't realize until I got the bill I was being charged for something that I didn't ask for. I went back to the store to correct the problem and the sales representative apologized and said she would correct the problem. When I got the next bill I still had the same problem. I was being billed for features that I didn't ask for. I called and was told that I would get credit and the problem would be solved. This started back in July 2008 I am still having the same problem, being billed for features that I didn't ask for.

When I called today October 26, 2008 I spoke to a manager April who said since she don't see any notes about me calling in to complain about being charge for features that I didn't ask for there wasn't anything she could do. I think it is unfair to customers when sales representatives don't do their job and document complaints because now I have to pay for the features that I have been complaining about for three months. Who can help customers in situations like this? Can phone companies do that to customers (charge them for features that they did not ask for and tell them it is not their fault)?

I have to pay for features that I didn't ask for due to the mistake of ATT wireless.

AT&T is a complete ripoff. When someone from my family wanted to add a line to their account, AT&T wanted to charge an additional $750.00 security deposit. This is the SECOND $750.00 for a total of $1, 500.00 they are holding to fatten their pockets even further. $750.00 was paid to them to get his original phone. He will get this back (or should I say, I will get this back) in 1 year, but as a recent college grad and new to the workforce this young man did not have the resources to meet their outrageous requirements. The original account was/is in good standing and debited each month from his account and is paid up to date. Not only am I posting here, but I'm also contacting the Better Business Bureau. I can understand the deposit on the first phone, but the second security deposit is just plain robbery.

After ordering AT&T service online for a family plan, we didnt get a response until a couple of days later stating that our order is confirmed and my card was charged 128.83. we got the 3 cell phones within a week or so and thought nothing of it. Our phones were already activated and we used them as normal. We canceled with our other phone company because we thought everything was ok. We got the service agreement in the mail which led us to believe even more that we were going to have a good relationship with this company. Come to find out 3 weeks later that our phones were disconnected. I called AT&T and customer care told me at first that it was a result of over usage of the internet. Our bill was $ 1800.00. I demanded to speak with someone else because this was not possible. The other person got on the phone with me and figured it out. Our phones had a 500.00 deposit that NO ONE ever told us about. I was on the phone with them being transferred to other people and put on h9old for over 2 1/2 hours. Had we known that there was going to be a 500.00 per each phone, we certainly would have NEVER continued with the order. So now we have no service, and my husband is a cross country truck driver. I filed a complaint on the FTC, the BBB and the Attorney General. I feel terrible because the lack of their communication!

THIS CONCERNS THE FACT THAT I WAS EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED
BY A INSTALLER (BRIAN) FROM AT&T BEFORE HE EVEN GOT INTO THE HOUSE. I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE ON THIS GUY BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED OF RETALIATION LATER. I WAS ON THE PHONE TRYING TO REACH HIS SUPERVISOR ( KELLY MAGUIRE, SUPERVISOR POST ROAD INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA [protected]) WHICH MADE HIM CRAZY MAD. SHE FINALLY CALLED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT TO INFORM ME THAT SINCE I CALLED THE POLICE ON HER EMPLOYEE THEY WOULD NOT INSTALL THE AT&T BUNDLE.

(FULL STORY BELOW)

To whom it may concern,
My family has had service from your company in our home (owned by our family since 1907) from the beginning.
We were interrupted at home one day by a semi-pushy salesman and was talked into getting the AT&T BUNDLE pkg. He was telling the private community we live in ( Spring Lake, IN) that we were all approved and could have this installed.
We received a date for installation and were eagerly awaiting our new services.
Then we were informed that we didn’t have enough CREDIT to get the services we picked out. So, we had to CANCEL the date of installation and get to the bottom of this.
A week or so later, we received an apology letter letting us know (what we already knew) which was that there was an ERROR with their computers and a bunch of people were WRONGFULLY INFORMED THEY DIDN’T HAVE GOOD ENOUGH CREDIT FOR AT&T, AND NOW WE CAN GET WHATEVER WE WANT!
So, all the sudden we were good enough to make another date to have this installed.
15 days later was the first time they could “fit us in” that right there was an INCONVEINENCE. They had already suspended our services to switch over to ATT. WHICH RESULTED IN ABOUT 3-4 HOURS ON THE PHONE COMPLAINING THAT NO ONE WAS HELPING US AND WE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY HAVE THE “BUNDLE PKG”.
I received a $30.00 credit (whoopee) for not having the bundle because of an error that was AT&T’S FAULT. And the fact that we had to wait another 15 days to get it.
The morning of the installation (between 12 and 2pm) I was excited to FINALLY BE GETTING WHAT AT&T SO EAGERLY WANTED US TO GET. (APPROX. 10 LETTERS AND SO MANY E-MAILS I CANT COUNT FOR OUR BUSINESS).

“THE ALTERCATION”

THE “PREMISE TECHNITION”(BRIAN) WAS COMING DOWN OUR ROAD WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE ASKING ABOUT THE STATIS OF OUR ORDER. I GOT EXCITED AND TOLD HER NEVERMIND HERE HE COMES. HE WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND KEPT ON GOING SO I SAID (NICELY)“RIGHT HERE GUY!”HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE HE WANTED TO KILL ME.(IF LOOKS COULD KILL KINDA THING)ANYWAY I WAS STILL ON THE PHONE WITH THE CSR SO SHE HEARD ME AND KNEW I WASN’T BEING MEAN.
I WENT AHEAD AND HUNG UP THE PHONE AND HE BACKS INTO OUR DRIVEWAY…I SAY “HEY GUY DIDN’T YOU SEE ME?” HE REPLIED (IN A STERN COMMANDING VOICE)AND I QUOTE ..”NOW LISTEN HERE, I HAVE TO BACK INTO CLIENTS DRIVEWAYS SO I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK….DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?”

I LET THAT PASS AND TRIED A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND I QUOTE MYSELF “ OH MAN I HOPE YOU ARE GOOD WITH COMPUTERS WHEN YOU INSTALL MY DSL..I THINK I MESSED IT UP THIS MORNING.”HE REPLIED IN THE SAME LOUD AND CONDESCENDING VOICE… “THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM”
I WAS SHOCKED AND MY MOTHER HAD COME AROUND THE HOUSE BECAUSE SHE HEARD HIS TONE OF VOICE AND WAS CONCERNED AND SHE WITNESSED WHAT HAPPENED NEXT……
I WENT TO MY FRONT PORCH AND GOT ON THE PHONE RIGHT AWAY AND THAT’S WHEN HE SAID “TO HELL WITH YOU I AM NOT INSTALLING NOTHING FOR YOU…I DON’T LIKE BEING THREATENED.”
I REPLIED I’M JUST CALLING YOUR SUPERVISOR TO MAKE SURE THIS GOES SMOOTH BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO BE IN A REALLY BAD MOOD AND ITS NOT FAIR TO TAKE IT OUT ON ME….I DON’T LET PEOPLE TALK TO ME THAT WAY, I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING VERBALLY ABUSIVE.”
THAT’S WHEN HE CAME OFF THE PORCH AND SHOVED INTO MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND THEN HIS ARM BRUSHED ACROSS BOTH OF MY BREASTS. I ALMOST FELL . I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK BY THEN AND HE LOADED UP HIS THINGS WHILE I STOOD THERE DUMBFOUNDED. HE WAS STILL CURSING AND YELLING WHEN HE GOT IN HIS VAN AND TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET. LIKE I HAVE SAID THIS IS A PRIVATE COMMUNITY AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25MPH.
ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER OR SO IS WHEN SOMEONE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY WERE REFUSING TO INSTALL IT NOW.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I SPENT THE NEXT 8-9 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH A NUMBER OF CSR’S AND
SUPERVISORS (ALL DOCUMENTED BY ME) I GOT NO SATIFACTION WHATSOEVER. I DID SPEAK TO SOME THAT WERE OUTRAGED AND SOME WHO WERE COLD AND HARSH.
THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED OVER AND THE FIRST CSR I SPOKE WITH TALKED FOUND THIS GUY ‘BRIAN’S’ BOSS TOLD ME HER NAME AND NUMBER. (WHICH NO ONE IN THE 8-9 HOURS OF TRYING TO FIND HER COULD/WOULD DO)
SHE TOLD HIM SHE HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF ME ALL LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING AND HAD LEFT MESSAGES.
THAT IS A VICIOUS LIE, I HAD NOT ONE MESSAGE AND PRACTICALLY STARED AT THE PHONE ALL NIGHT. I THEN CALLED AND OF COURSE SHE DID NOT ANSWER, SO I LEFT A MESSAGE LETTING HER KNOW I ONLY MADE WHATS CALLED A “CAD” (COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH) REPORT WITH THE POLICE JUST TO HAVE THIS ON RECORD. I WASN’T GOING TO PRESS CHARGES. SHE CALLED MY HOME PHONE AND SPOKE TO MY MOTHER BECAUSE I WAS GONE WITH MY 6-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO THE PARK.
MY MOTHER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL THE CALLING AND MESSAGES I HAD LEFT SO SHE REALLY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT INSTEAD OF THIS “BOSS” CALLING ME ON MY CELL WHICH I HAD ASKED HER TO DO.
SHE INFORMED MY MOTHER THAT WE WERE 4200 FEET AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT ANYWAY.
THAT WAS SUCH A LIE BECAUSE OUR NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET HAS IT AND MY FRIEND AROUND THE CORNER HAS IT ALSO. I’M TALKING A MATTER OF 10-20 YARDS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY ALREADY APPROVED US TO HAVE IT AND WAS READY TO INSTALL.
THIS IS JUST A MATTER OF “U-VERSE” TRYING TO MAKE US GO AWAY AND NOT GET ANYONE IN TROUBLE.
I WILL NOT STOP PURSUING THIS UNTIL WE HAVE THE SERVICE INSTALLED AND THIS GUY BRIAN AND THIS GIRL KELLY MAGUIRE ARE FIRED FROM A JOB THAT SOMEBODY ELSE COULD USE IN THESE HARD TIMES.

I AM 42 YEARS OLD AND NOT IN GOOD HEALTH TO BEGIN WITH.
SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I HAVE CONSIDERED GOING TO THE HOSPITAL MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF RACING HEART AND MY HAIR IS COMING OUT IN HANDFULLS.

VERBAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE FROM HIM AND LYING AND REFUSING SERVICE FROM HER SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING AT&T CONDONES.
I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT WHO TO CONTACT AND HOW(PHONE-E-MAIL?)
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME?

AT&T continuing to bill for discontinued service

I canceled my phone services in January 2009 because I was moving out and I would be out of the apartment most of January. When I returned to the apartment at the end of January, my phone was in-deed not working. I officially moved out in February. AT&T continued to send bills to my autopay. It took alot of calls but they assured me that autopay was finally shut off (by the way, they managed to get money for January, Febrary, March and April). I JUST received another bill saying I owed them money. FOR WHAT. My service was shut down in January. Interesting how they managed to shut down the phone service when asked but can't shut down the bills.

Desired Outcome

1. Desired Settlement:
Refund

2. Desired Outcome:
I would like the money they took out of autopay during the months of February, March and April. Apparently they have shut off autopay, but I'm not sure. If they take the money they just sent a bill for May, 2009, I will want that money refunded too. I want to stop receiving bills for a phone number that has been shut down since January, 2009. I want my name out of their databases that connects me to the number that was disconnected.

Continued Billing for cancelled DSL service
Hercules, CA

I get a friendly letter in the mail to sign up for ATa&T dsl service for $25.00 a month. I decide to try the service. AT&T turns on the dsl service, with no technician, from an ouside signal source somewhere. The dsl outlet ATT turns on is in the kitchen. Told them I need it turned on upstairs in the bedroom. ATT states they charge $250.00 to send out a technician. I told them "no way". So within a week I cancelled the service and returned all the equipment. Told ATT representative to cancel. They said, "sure sorry it didn't work out." ATT keeps billing me, I call ATT and they transfer me to several reps that can't help me, but would take a payment by phone! And now reported me to collections. Now I have to file a complaint with the consumer bureau to take this off my record.

AT&T refund

Yea, same thing happened to me. ATT changed my long distance plan to a more expensive one without my consent when I m0ved to another place. I ended up paying more than I should have and ended up with a $90 credit after contacting them about this matter. They also had the nerve to add late fees because of them not applying the credit to my account which would have made it current. When I told them I want the money put back into my banking account, they said they couldn't do it! They can only put the money toward future payments on my Bill! (Self serving idiots!) They said the only way I could get tangible cash is to close my account with them and they would send me a check! (I think you can see where this is headed!)

I paid numerous ATT invoices -- and have NOT been able to use ATT charge cards (VISA) which ATT supplied me 30 days ago, (FOR SWITCHING TO ATT) and each of the FIVE TIMES I ATTEMPTED to use ATT cards, I was REJECTED. I am tired of being REJECTED by numerous establishememts with which I have EXCELLENT CREDIT.--and it is EMBARRASSING to me personally, to have ATT continually REJECT my Visa cards --- when I have donw everything ATT asks: Piad my bills, which are OVER CHARGED for their so called Uverse services -- and upon finally getting thru to ATT to have the VISA cards CONFIRMED -- confirmed at least TWICE -- I am constantly REJECTED at consumer establishments. I PLAN TO RETURN TO TIME WARNER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (cablefilms@att.net)

AT&T att sucks!

I ordered the DSL service and was told by the Rep that i could be setup the next day. First of ALL the Rep was wrong, he told me the modem was free (Wrong again) told me the price would be $19.99 (Wrong again) and that the kit would be send to us (Wrong, kit was never sent). I called ATT Customer Service because I had doubts about them being above borderline idiots. When I finally got someone on the line
he knew nothing about the account (That I had already setup) and gave a connection date of April 20th once the account was setup (again) and, when the Tech showed up to switch the line over because I wanted ONLY DSL no phone service...he said that the office did not give him the correct information to make the connection.

My wife tried her luck four days later and was on hold with Customer Service for over and hour and a half and since they did not know exactly what to do we of course cancel the order since the ATT people were too much of an idiot to have the job done. We deal with idiot companies lots here in Florida but this is one of the worse even more so than Directv.

Why is it getting much harder to get good service in this country when we work so hard for our money these day?

I agree with you completely Doug, you can read my current issues with AT&T dsl at my profile by clicking my complaints. My story is too long to tell each time so I won't here, but I will be updating my dealing with AT&T at my complaint until issues are resolved or I finally switch providers, something I would have a tough time doing in my area being we only have one other provider. As for AT&T reps being idiots, even though that's mostly true, I think their overall system of communicating with each other is so flawed most reps can't do much about it. I wonder how many work overseas?

AT&T rip off

I received an email from AT&T informing me I had been awarded $25 gift certificate for opting to use their no-paper email billing system. Great! When I went on line I discovered the rip off.

In order to use the certificate one had to choose a restaurant. Despite the fact that there were no restaurants near where I live, I scoped out those in cities I could drive to. Then I discovered that in order to use the $25 gift certificate - depending on the type of restaurant - I had to order at least $30, $45, or$50 or more of food. Then I saw that restaurants tagged on anything from 18%-27% gratuity BEFORE deducting the gift certificate.

If this was not enough, some restaurants only issued $10 gift certificate (no mention as to what one could get for the balance).

So, then I opted to use the $25 gift certificate for merchandise and went to the fruit section to discover I would need to order $75 worth of product and pay shipping & handling.

I am a senior citizen living on minimum income. Why would I opt to drive long distance to a restaurant to pay $20 or more just to redeem the AT&T certificate.

I tried telephoning AT&T but they put me through to Restaurant.com. First, after explaining the difficulties in using the certificate I asked if I could receive $25 to use at other restaurants closer to home, or have it put as a credit against my telephone/DSL bill. Not understanding that I was talking with Restaurant.com the answer was no. I requested to speak with a supervisor and she just said that it was their organization that sells the gift certificates to AT&T and that is the way it is set up.

In my opinion AT&T can keep their gift certificates - they are worth nothing if they cannot be used to redeem $25 worth of product.

I hope others will complain about this so AT&T understand that giving with one hand and taking with another is typical of today's customer-no-customer service!

AT&T cs reps in india asking reps in usa to translate questions!

I've never spent so much time attempting to get the simplest information...spent over 10 1/2 hours total to be placed on hold for literally 85% of that time! Reps in India continue to call me "sir", even though I"ve explained over and over that I'm a WOOman...only able to respond to something specifically listed on the page in front of them, rather than listening to the TRUE nature of my question, then placing me on hold to call USA reps to get an interpretation of what I needed...getting back on the line with me to give me a completely unrelated response, causing me to repeat the issue, be placed on hold again, receiving same inappropriate response, requesting to speak with a supervisor who referred me to yet another department (this being the third transfer, where ALL personal ID info had to be request AGAIN...and 2 of the 3 times they could not verify my account information, asking me to repeat this AGAIN, before going through the entire process of relating the problem & asking a specific question, only to receive YET ANOTHER inappropriate response! I hung up, took apart my new computer & am returning it, resorting to keeping & using my dysfunctional Dell so that my wireless network will recognize me again so I can get back to work...TOTAL TIME USING MY AT&T CELL PHONE MINUTES TO GET NOWHERE 5.28 hours
TOTAL OVERAGE CHARGES FROM AT&T CELL PHONE SVCS $108.99
Unfortunately, there are limited options for ISPs in this area, so threatening to jump from the AT&T frying pan would mean landing in the Comcast fire, which I've already divorced for the LAST TIME! WHY HAS CORPORATE AMERICA DECIDED TO OPT OUT OF ACCOUNTABILITY, RATHER THAN MONOPOLIZING US SCRAMBLING WORKER BEES TO A COMPLETELY FRENZIED STATE!?!

AT&T billing /charges/ attempts to disconnect

AT&T is the worst!
1st they charged me $120 to have a phone line fixed, when I pay for in-line plus. Called them 4 times, over 3 monts to have charge removed. Finally they removed chrg from bill, and then continued to bill me the late charge for not having paid the $120 in a timely manner (?). After a month, they removed the bogus late fee, then it showed up again on the next bill. Took 5 months total to resolve. Customer serv ppl were rude and demeaning on several of the calls and the others would say they will take care of it and just did nothing after u hang up.
2nd- When I tried to cancel my phone and internet with them several months later- they told me they couldnt do it over the phone, I had to submit online. I did. Gave them all the info to discontinue service immediately, thru their own website- included address and phone#. They send me an email 3 days later asking me to stay and they will give me $25 credit on my bill. I say 'thanks, but no thanks- please disconnect service'. They send me another email 4 days later saying they need additional info before they can discontinue service, ie- phone number, address, reason. Now you see their tactic, delay- delay- delay- by this time Im already up to another week or more of being billed for services Im no longer using and had asked to be disconnected. I send them one final email and let them know that all info was on the original rqst to cancel and that if its not done promptly I will report them to the Texas Office of the Attorney General as well as well as report them to the Federal Trade Commission and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. FUNNY- I get an automated phone call within the hour stating that services are being disconnected.
They are the WORST company to deal with. So many choices out there, you would think they would have better customer service.
I will NEVER deal with AT&T again!

AT&T air card from at&t

My laptop quit working and I could not used my air card. I tried to get at&t to change out my aircard so I could used it on another computer. I needed an aircard that plugged into a USB port instead of the normal way the cards plug in. My card was not faulty it was fine but my new computer only has a USB Port. Basically there was nothing at&t would do to help me. I could not use the old card and they would not change mine out for a USB style one. I told them I was going to cancel my service as I can no longer use the card. At&T did allow me to cancel my service. Whis is really stupid on their part. I am angry enough now that I will no longer do business with them. I will soon also cancel my cell phones. Whoever is the idiot who makes their policies they need to replace. They are not interested in keeping business or satisfying their customers.

AT&T rewards program scam!

Warning! Do not change your internet service to at&t and think you will get the $125 rebate that was promised! I changed my service from comcast on march 3, 2009, primarily for the purpose of the $125 rebate. I did all of the dirty work (Crawling around under desks and tables to unplug the old and plug in the new wires, etc.). I was told by at&t personnel at the time i placed my order that, not only would i get the $125 rebate, but i would get an additional $50, plus a $50 gift card for the change in internet service and other bundling additions. I got the $50 gift card last week. When i checked the rewards center, i saw a $50 rebate listed, but nothing about the $125! I spent over 2 hours on the phone yesterday -- a beautiful saturday afternoon -- to be transferred time after time and be told time after time -- that they could not "stack" the rewards! Huh? Stack? First of all, i changed because of the $125. Period. The additional rewards were told to me and i was unaware of them. Even if what they say is the case (Which was never disclosed), would not a reasonable person expect to receive the largest reward over the smallest? I was livid! I will be switching my service back after this is taken care of. I will never trust at&t again as they do not stand behind the promises made by their sales folks nor their written propaganda that is mailed! Seems to me that this should be a federal offense to use the mail system to send fraudulent material! In any event, i was eventually told they would credit my phone bill $75 (Only after i asked to speak to a supervisor after being told the customer service clerk could do nothing, and never offered me the opportunity to go to someone who could -- until it was i that specifically asked to speak to the supervisor). I, of course, accepted the gesture, but i am not happy as i was totally scammed into thinking i was getting the $125 reward for switching my internet service. Lies, lies, lies -- shame on you, yet again, at&t. Somewhere on another blog, it was suggested that a class action suit should be filed and i am all for it. Sign me up!

I agree wholeheartedly. I switched in August 2008 and was told again and again that I would receive $150 in the mail. Even though they say they record the conversations, AT&T claims they have 'no record' of the 3 or 4 phone calls I made to ask where the check was. TOTAL SCAM!

AT&T scam artists

I was told that they can only give internet and phone packages, that i could not just get the internet. If i was to cancel it would only be $99. I agreed and ever since have been sorry, my monthly bill was suppose to be $75 and i have not seen a bill even close to this ever. When i finally found out that i could get just the internet, called dry loop. They charged me $400 to cancel and i have been on the phone with their horrible customer service at least once a month. They will tell you anything you want to hear, do nothing about it and you will wait again on the phone for ever, every month. I now have just the dry loop, and my bill was suppose to be $50, not even close again. First bill i get is $110, and they are still billing me for the services that i canceled. ANYONE reading this, I would highly recommend to just use your local library computers. This has been a night mare and going to cost me well over $1000. And still be better than just keeping the service.

This month I am finally saying good bye to AT&T and their little friend Direct TV. We are a military family and get moved around quite a bit. When we first moved to the Tampa area, we were told that Bell South was the only telephone provider in the area, and we were trying to get our utilities set up at our new residence. As all of you probably know by now, Bell South is none other than AT&T, and like many of the banners and ads on the net, we were suckered into the plan that they advertise for $99.99 for your phone, high-speed internet and Direct TV...

Let me say this... last month I paid out $114.14 for just my phone and my internet ( and I only made three outgoing calls on my house telephone), AND another $84.49 for Direct TV... that is $198.63, almost TWICE the rates that AT&T are advertising! I didn't have anything fancy... No premium stations (Just the basic type programming with more informed channels than anything else), no HD, nothing like that at all, except the extra $4.99 for an additional receiver. My internet which was supposed to be $19.95 a month was costing me $49.95 a month. All of this and wait till you hear the loveliness of the rest of the story. AT&T charged me an installation fee to have the service turned on ( which everyone does for the most part) and gave me my phone number. OK I asked if I can have it arranged for the bill to be due on or shortly after the first of the month or on or after the 15th of the month because that way we can focus it around my husbands pay periods. They say no problem... We get a bill due on the 27th of the month. I call and ask them if they can change the bill date... they tell me that they can...IF I want to change my phone number AND pay them $65! I tell them that they will get their money on the first of the month... their representative then proceeds to tell me that since it is my husband's name only on the phone bill that she cannot talk to me, and hangs up. We then decide to buy a house here... we need to have the phone turned off at the old house and on at the new house...we are keeping the same #. Well they charge us another 'establish service fee' and are now paying two at the same time for a period of a few months!

Ever since then I have been dealing with these outrageous always changing phone rates and other charges (last month I paid Direct TV online and their computer system was apparently down... I went through the steps of making the payment online got an e-mail and a confirmation number of my payment) and got called several times by Direct TV asking me where my payment was... I gave them the information that they sent to my e-mail... and they said that they didn't get paid. I checked my bank, and apparently they never debited my account, so I told the rep to re-submit the payment when I was on the phone (for which they charged me $5 that they didn't tell me about I found that on the next month's bill, with a late payment fee of $2.99 due to their screw up.)

I also have the lovely representatives who place a 'courtesy' call to me every month, on the 28th letting me know that my phone bill needs to be paid. They always ask for my husband who is almost never here, but in some other country on the other side of the world someplace... and they say things to me like 'Did you know that your bill was due yesterday?' I am always like I sure did know that my bill was due yesterday, and I have asked you to change the billing date a hundred times. You won't change it for me unless I pay you $65. You will get paid on the first ( and they always get paid in full). Since when did the phone company become loan sharks?

I did a little research and found out that our small local cable company offers HD TV with many more channels than Direct TV, telephone service with unlimited long distance and internet service for $125.64 a month ( including all taxes)... a $70 savings for us... with no strings attached. Guess what... we switched... Direct TV were such ### to tell us that we are obligated to keep their rip-off service for 18 months and they can charge us an early termination fee and that they have our bank account numbers and can take our money... blah, blah, blah. In another place we were with SBC who provided excellent service with satellite service and we were under no such obligation... they (Direct TV) told me about the expense of their equipment and how expensive it is, which is what warrants them making you contract for 18 months [which their rep who comes to hook you up never tells you about]. My husband does VOIP and satellite communications currently with the military... he was telling me expensive? Yeah right, it is why they tell you to pull the transmitter off the dish when you discontinue service and the boxes don't work without active cards. They just want you to think that to condone WHY they are going to TRY to charge you for 18 months of service.

In my opinion I think all of us who have been taken advantage of by this company needs to open their mouths and just say NO to this money grubbing company who doesn't care one bit about its customers and only about their profit margins! These people make Verizon look like saints!

I recently got back from college, and during my time there, my credit was nearly ruined, and I was charged 300 dollars, that I didn't have, because AT&T refused to run off my phone service.

I contacted the company to get a phone line at the dorms I was staying at, so I could stay in contact with my parents. After the semester was almost over, and with a month left in the semester, my phone mysteriously stops working. After MANY attempts to call the company and figure out what was going on, I finally got fed up and disconnected my phone, and go home.

Fast forward 6 months later, we receive a bill in the mail (at my parents house) for 300 dollars from at&t. Aggravated, we call the phone company, only to find out they reconnected the phone WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. When we ask them to disconnect it again, and wave these fees, considering I didn't even live there anymore, they start trying to bribe us to stay by saying they could get us a 200 dollar federal voucher if we stayed. Immediately, the red flag for scam went up, and we declined.

AT&T in Carthage, TX is ripping off the government to try to keep customers from disconnecting! AND reconnecting service after people have been disconnected without the person's permission!

I have received a Collection Notice, from GC Services and from AT&T Advertising & Publishing.

They started a yellow page ad with us and after one month into the ad they accidentally cancelled our forwarding phone number which was the yellow page phone number. We had to do a forwarding number because we relocated. So the yellow page ad no longer worked because AGAIN they accidentally cancelled the number. By the time we found out about it they said the number could not be reused. So, the ad was useless.

They said the mistake was their fault, NOT ours. So the bill would be reversed. and we would not be responsible for it. this was when the bill was about $2300.00. I ask them not to send anymore notices and to contact the collection agency, they said they would.

6/10/08
I now am receiving bills from just At&t Advertising, now the bill went from about $3000.00 to $ 4000.00.
7/1/08
The bill now has jumped from $4, 069.83 to $8, 226.77. How is this possible that the bill has DOUBLED in ONE MONTH when I haven’t had advertising since January of ’07? Amazing!

I looked on the $8K bill and it says I have advertising with them on a phone number that does not exist. I would love your help. We are a very small self employed person and can not afford to pay a bill that dose no good for us.

When I first opened my phone account with AT&T, they required a $500 deposit because I don't have a credit card. They assured me that I would get the deposit back after one year. Exactly one year later I called asking for my money back and they said they would "process that request."

A week later I called back to see what was going on. "Your check has been mailed" they told me. After more than 10 business days without my check, however, I called back. "Where's my $500?" I asked. I had rent due, I had groceries to buy, and AT&T still hadn't given me my money. After more than an hour on the phone, juggled from person to person, finally someone thought to look up where the check had actually been sent. They mailed it to my OLD ADDRESS. No one asked me where I lived when they sent the check there, no one verified anything.

Afraid that my old residence would no longer be forwarding my mail, I asked them to cancel the check and to electronically deposit the money into my back account. "I'll have to ask about that" was the reply. Many minutes later, "I'm sorry. We're just going to have to send you another check."

Weeks later. No check.
I call AT&T asking, "Where's my $500?"
"Oh, that request is still being processed, " a woman told me. "It will be sent no later than Feb 27."
"Feb 27?" I said. "I was supposed to get that money Jan 16!"
Her reply was, "But look at it this way, your check will come just in time for Easter dresses!"

Easter dresses. I swear that's what she said.

Feb 27 came and went and still no sign of my money. Today I checked my online AT&T account and to my horror, I noticed that I had $450 of credit towards my phone bill. That's where my money ended up. They never sent ANYTHING. Instead, my money is sitting online, automatically being consumed by my phone bill.

It has been almost 2 months since I was supposed to receive my $500. I have tuition and rent to worry about and AT&T has handled my situation ridiculously unprofessionally. I will be switching service providers AS SOON AS my contract is up.

What can I do to get out of the 2 year contract they scammed me into when I ordered the AT&T "bundle" I did not want the DVR because AT&T told me I would be into a 2 year contract and charged 480.00 early termination fee- I told them I did not want a 2 year contract but they failed to tell me I would have a contract anyway by "leasing" the tv boxes. I have spent hours on the phone to try and disconnect only to be told they have my debit card number and will charge my account. I told them there was not 480.00 in the account and they said they woudl keep hitting the account untill all the money was taken. (this was Mark a so called manager at Direct Tv) I filed a complaint with their dispute department and the called me to tell me that just because AT&T did not tell me I was in a contract it was not thier issue and they would not drop the disconnect fee.
My email is hd1365@hotmail.com
