AT&T
reviews and complaints

I called att in january around the 16th and told the csr danello that I was calling because my promo deal was ending in february and wanted to know what my options were. I also pointed out the the phone bill for a land line (it was 14.76) was not being used and I wanted it cancelled. I told the rep that I had not had a land line in 6 months and I was paying for a service I did not use. I didnt even look at the february bill I just paid it. Thats my fault. I picked up the march bill which is now even higher. My phone bill is now $42.02- I called today and spoke to annie in customer service who says there is no indication in the notes that I cancelled the phone line. I speak to her supervisor - same answer. They transfer me to the loyalty department and tell me that they can refund. I speak to louis in loyalty department who says the same - no notes saying I cancelled. I said somebody check the recorded call and see that I did request the cancellation. He said he cant do that. I speak to his supervisor - alex_ who says I can give you a 25.00 credit. I said that is nice but not fair. I cancelled this service. Why is the customer the bad guy when your employee does not do his job and use notes or follow through? I am very unhappy with att today. My husband worked for att for 30 years and this is just wrong and not good business. I will eat the feb phone bill - for 24.08- thats my fault for not reading the bill. But really, I want the $42.02 refunded on the march bill. Please. I also have wireless thru att. I have been a customer for 40 years. Surely, something can be done to help me.

I has tried for several weeks to resolve a future problem, I had a promotion that was to end on February 15, 2019 on my U Verse TV service, I had made several calls to get a better pricing on my service, I was told each time I called to call back on a different date to get a better price. I finally called on the ending date of the promotion (2/15/2019) I was told there was no promotions avaiable, so I canceled my service and went to Dish Network. I ws told since I canceled on the end of my billing cycle, I would have no further bills relating to U Verse TV. On today, I received an E-Mail saying I was past due on my account and that I owed $148.69 for TV service I no longer have.

I think that AT&T values new customers over existing customer, and has no regards for those have been with AT&T for several years. This is to inform AT&T that I will not pay that charges for service not used.

AT&T is on the verge of losing all my business and I will fight the charges with any means I have. Including Small Claims Court.

My calls keep dropping in my home phone Ive had 3 technicians come out an not fix issue the second technician Mario came out an assumed my 6 pound chihuahua was going to bite him because he was bitten by a dog before an wanted to spark a argument about it she wasn't bothering him but I put her outside he asked what the problem was I told him he assumed I had the wires plugged into the modem the wrong way I told him no because a triangle pops up where the Wi-Fi symbol is on my computer with the exclamation point with the triangle in it I walked out of the room he was like whatever [censored] I tried to contact the president of atat an I got rick Cullen whom after I explained everything to I asked about my credit he had the nerve to ask for what like I told him as a customer what I went threw he was basically saying why should we?

AT&T sucks. That's all I need to say. The customer service sucks. The entire company is a joke. I switched over from a very reliable cable company, one that I never had any problems with when it came to customer service or technical help. That company even sent a technician over last year to help during the Super Bowl. Well, I was roped in to getting AT&T. Since I've had it, there has been one technical problem after another. I called them today, once again, they did the same thing they've done about five times since I got it. Same result...nothing. Latest is what happened today. I spoke to a technician, she went through everything to get the issue resolved. Nothing. I asked to talk to her supervisor. I was told they weren't available. They would call me back in about an hour. Two hours later, nothing. I called them and asked to speak to a supervisor first thing. I was told they were busy. I spent another hour on the phone trying to speak to someone. For anyone who has or is thinking of getting any AT&T service don't. Get rid of it or don't switch to it. The company is pathetic. I was told to post here and I would receive an answer. Knowing what I know now, I sincerely doubt that this crap company will ever get back.

I live in a new development and I need internet for my business. I have been waiting for installation for 2 weeks they don't show up for appointments, I finally got a woman, who I could undrstand, to explain to me they had tech problems with the fiber, 4 appointments missed, I'm very upset terrible co to deal with, call me at6168906695 also they installed direct tv and left the wiring looking like a tumbleweed, take a little pride .

On Monday 1/21/19 I reported my home phone and internet were out, I work from home and this problem was an urgent matter to me. Scheduled appointment for Tuesday 1/22 between 2 and 4, I never received a phone call and the tech never showed up. I was told that there were no techs available due to an "outage", which there were none in Columbus, Ohio. The tech came on Thursday and replaced my equipment. he was the only bright spot in this entire problem. I had actually talked to Spectrum and was ready to switch, but due to the tech, I changed my mind. Today is 1/30 and again my phone and internet is out. The soonest I can get an appointment for this repair is Friday 2/1. This entire process is unacceptabe, the customer service reps except one, were unprofessional and border line rude. The last rep I spoke to even finally a dmitted that the previous reps had lied to me. This has affected my income and put me in a terrible situation. I will expect a 2 week credit on my bill and after all of this, I will be looking at other options. An apology at the very least would be nice

This is service similar to voice mail that was set up for us by atandt could be 20! Years ago? This is for the residents of homeowners assoc to call in and report irrigation issues. Our staff then can call in and retrieve messages by entering a pin. Our pin was no longer worked so I called and visited two at and to stores. I have talked with 20 employees of at&t and have spent over six hours on the phone or in the store. No one has ever heard of this service and the account number on our invoice can not be found in their system. Even though we get a monthly bill from at&t and the amount is taken directly out of our bank account. Can't get pin changed, cant get account cancelled. No one at at&t. Wow how does this happen.

These companies are undeserving of even a single star.

I responded to a website for at&t/direct tv for the nhl center ice in october. I added the service and was told that the price was $9.95 a month. Here is what the website said,

Nhl® center ice® on directv. Catch every slap-shot, check, and goal this season.
Nhl® center ice® (ch. 769-787) gives you up to 40 out-of-market games a week for the 2018-19 season.

Clearly, the site says 2018-2019 season. When I received my bill the service was $39.99 which my wife and I thought was for the first 4 months of service. No problem. Then we received the following months bill and they charges another $39.99.

After 4 phone calls, half a dozen people and hours of my time wasted I was told that I authorized them to charge me 4 payments of $39.99 which I did not do. Then I was told that the rates reflected on this website are for people who signed up after january 1st. Nowhere on this site does it say that. They made me so mad that I have canceled the service but was still forced to pay the $39.99. I call that theft. Do not trust anything the at&t or direct tv customer service people tell you. I'm contemplating canceling the entire service over this and just use netflix and amazon prime.

Neither at&t or direct tv can be trusted, so buyer beware!

I have attempted for at least 3 weeks to get a refund of an overpayment I made to you, in error, on November 20, 2018. I have made several calls, speaking with several reps and receive a different answer each and every time I call. I was first told the credit of $2397.99 would be credited back to my bank account (since the payment in error of $2669.57 was paid through my bank) within 8 to 13 days. I called again after 2 weeks and the rep I spoke with requested the following additional information and said I should see a credit within 3 business days.

- My ATT account #: [protected]

- My call back number: [protected]

- A screen shot of my bank ledger showing proof of payment is attached.

I sent this information to the email address he gave me (ATTPaymentClaim@att.com) and received a response that the message could not be delivered to that address.

The next rep I spoke with said I should relax, I would be getting a check in the mail soon.

Today I spoke with someone in your finance department who said that I must reverse the payment through my bank since I paid through on-line banking and there was nothing they could do to refund the money. I called my bank, explained the situation and asked if they could correct the problem. They said they could do nothing since they sent the money correctly and ATT U-Verse has the money.

On a second call today the rep again said not to worry, he would help me and transferred me to Jazmine in the Accounts Receivable and Collections Department. She said I needed to send my bank statement to show proof of payment to the same email address above, that did not work before or FAX it o 866-370-1060. She said this was the holdup. I do not understand this necessity since you have my money and show the credit on my account, but will do this presently in hopes of resolving this issue. I will try to attach the bank statement to this message. If it does not work, I will FAX it.

I have spent my entire morning on this and several other hours on 6 or 7 phone calls with various AT&T reps and have gotten different story each time. This has been a terrible experience and is a perfect example of poor customer service.

Please REPLY as soon as possible and CREDIT my account as soon as possible.

1/7/2019- I'm so frustrated with Direct TV service, reception, everything. Screen freezes constantly, recorded programs have no sound with choppy picture quality. I have spent hours and hours with their customer service and their technical support. Speaking to different reps and their supervisors. They all apologize, but do nothing! They once said that we should get warranty for the equipment for another $8.99/mo so each time they can come fix the problem! It's not just $8.99/mo that bothers me, but the fact that it's just too much hassle to call them each time, spend an hour on the phone and schedule the service! I cannot believe that people still get their service! We were cable company customers for years and had none of those issues that we have with Direct TV. Unfortunately, they know that we are in contract with them for another year or so and they are taking advantage of us. They know that we basically cannot do anything! Please, please do your homework before getting their service!

I placed an order for a new phone and new line on November 17, 2018 because of a BOGO offer. I added a line and paid the taxes for an iPhone XSmax and iPhone XR. iPhone XR was supposed to be at $750 off original price. The phones arrived within a week but iPhone XR was not what I wanted. I requested to send it back for a replacement in a different color. The phone has been received at ATT warehouse but I haven't received a replacement yet. I waited for a month, kept calling them to ask about it and then finally today they told me that when I returned the phone my order was cancelled and I need to place a new order. The new order would not be BOGo anymore because that BOGO was only for November. I am being charged for two phone lines and installments for two phones but I have got one phone. I made seven phone calls and contacted through chat 5 times. They kept transferring my call to other departments. When I tried to cancel my order, I was told that I cannot cancel the new line and phone because it's been over 14 days and when I tried to cancel the old line I was told that I am bound to pay $785 for the iPhone XR which is now attached to my old line. So, I cannot close that one too.

I have been a Direct Tv customer for about 15 years. I have the Direct Tv Protection Plan in place. I am a senior citizen and live on a budget. So I downgraded to the Basic Family Plan to watch local tv stations. I have a Roku Smart tv that allows me to watch other programing outside of Direct Tv. Before I downgraded I was able to watch other programming, but once I downgraded my Direct Tv to the Family Package, my Roku Tv would not allow me to stream any other programing unless Direct Tv gave me permission.

So I contacted Direct Tv customer Service and spoke to a Representative who did not understand and when I asked for a Supervisor, I was transferred to another Representative who went throught the whole 50 Questions session, and at the end I asked for a supervisor and was transferred to another Representative and we began the entire 50 questions again...after 5 more representatives, finally I spoke to a "supervisor" who addmitted he was not a supervisor and then hung up.

Worst experience ever! I expected better from AT&T or direct Tv. I will not recommend Direct Tv ever again.

This is our second complaint. The first was a month ago. Ever since AT&T took over billing for Direct TV, it has been a nightmare. We have auto-pay yet they still send us "overdue" notices and threaten to disconnect our Direct TV. The phone call a month ago was to a young woman in the Philippines who could barely speak English. Today we spoke to someone who speaks English but he could not access our records. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE and we plan to drop Direct TV. AT&T's customer service and billing practices are unconscionable!

When I signed up for service I was told that I could get all the channels that I had they could do for less than $100 a month. My bills were $123 for the last 3 months now they say there $134 now it's over $243 this month. Whet in to pay the last 2 days and they said that they would take off the premiums channels said that it would lower it to $134 with is still higher than $90 I was told.

Called for a new router using what is suppose to be a landline. When I called the voice said "are you calling about the service connected with the account"... Silence... No number given. We could connect to the router but not the internet. Said they would ship one out and it will arrive the next day. No router came so my husband calls them and they blame it on ups saying they dropped the ball. I call ups and they never received any router to ship. All routers for twenty years have came from 30 miles away in nashville but when I tracked this supposed shipment it was coming from laredo tx and heading north then south to us but had not been received. I call again and "prince" or "zeus" says we dont ship routers you must have a tech visit. Tech comes and does not give us the router but one did come in the mail same day. We do not have voi (not supposed to have voip) nor tv only internet and a landline. The router they sent from mexico border is a voip router that we cannot disable sip nor ipv6! I always disable these and with this router it is not possible. I am sick with stage four cancer and just having it on, regardless if in use, makes me feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest and I cant get my breath. Every time our phone rings every appliance with a fan in it starts playing tv/radio. I want a normal router asap. This has gone on since the line was installed in 2012. Call are routed both incoming and outgoing and I never know if I am really talking with the bank, etc, or not. The first month of service we were hacked from nigeria and australia! Went to bank to file against these and they were to call me back on monday. When they didn't call I called them and they said they talked with me and I said it was a mistake and to forget it. Same thing with paypal when I called to put my account on hold. I expect a call from at&t by friday or there will be legal charges against you. I am done with this. You are the most crooked company there has ever been. I cant wait till god's recompense against you. I will not shead a year for you.
Anyone who reads this please go to justia.com and read about their patents. Pure evil. Adding extra emf and so much more.
You have stolen my life at&t. Even the dog is sick. What goes aroud comes around.

i am tired of calling these two companies to solve the problem. they don't answer, disconnect, you wait for hours on the phone and when you talk to someone not more than 15 minutes, they disconnect in the middle of the call. reps now are aggressive some from far east which mostly do not know the ethics of our country. i can go on for hours.

i am done with AT&T/ direct TV. hope we get enough complaints we could start a civil law suit or something to stop their abuse.

My name is patricia Wilder I have AT&T for over 11 years. They have shut my cell phone off twice and charged me a phone bill last month that they cut my service off to and again this month! I have no understanding how I can be charged for two months that I didn't have service. My phone number is+[protected]. I want my phone back on but paying for months I had no service is wrong!

Today I came home to my service with AT&T being interrupted! I have been in touch with AT&T regarding s restoral credit of $35.00. I initially contacted customer care through chat in which I got nowhere so I disconnected chat, reached out through chat again in which I was told by the second chat rep that I would be receiving the credit of $35.00. I said ok but never saw this credit so I reached out to customer care via phone to ask and was told that my call needed to be escalated but rest assure that they were taking care of this. I then spoke with another rep to ask about my credit and also the credit regarding the big Texas outage that we had. When we initially had this outage I called AT&T to see what was going on and was quickly rushed off the phone but told that it was a Big outage but not to worry that I would be credited! This is the other credit that I was waiting on to pay my bill and was told by several reps that don't worry you'll be credited and I repeatedly asked that my service NOT be disconnected because if this and today it was so now I have to deal with this $35.00 restoral credit AGAIN!

I attempted to call AT&T customer service today but after being on hold and it being close to the billing department closing time I was hung up on and when I called back the department was closed!

I want a credit for my inconvenience in regards to the poor handling of my account! I have a job and making sure that AT&T does their job isn't mine. I'm disappointed once again with this company and how they handle things

Also AT&T did try calling me, they left a message to return their call but when I did they couldn't even tell me why they called which was wasted time during my work day.
