ATT Doesn't care about their customers
I have have a cell with them (Used to be Cingular) since 2003. When I would go through tough times they refused to help me with billing. I have other friends with other companies and they always work with them. I switched to another company recently and got a bill for $600. This included disconnection fees and late fees. That's fine I will pay it. However they refused to allow me to make payments and merely told me that I was going to be sent to collections on given date. That's not enough time to pay off the amount. So after being a customer for 7 yrs they want to give me the option to pay it all off in a couple days or be sent to collections. I'm glad I switched carriers because among other reasons I switched (like unknown items on my bills that they would refuse to ***, etc) they don't want to help me pay off my bill. I would never recommend AT&T to anyone.

Failure to repair in a timely manner
I run a small distribution and service business with 15 employees. We contract with AT&T to provide our phone and DSL service. At 8:30AM on Monday December 20th, I reported that half of our 8 phone lines were non-operational, and was told that I should expect a service technician before 5:00PM that day. When this didn't happen, I called and was told that due to the stormy weather we had been having, it could be Wednesday the 22nd before we had our problem resolved. I called on Thursday the 23rd when the technician again failed to show, and was told that the problemn would require a cable crew and might take until the following Wednesday the 29th. By Monday the 27th, we had lost another phone line, and had only 2 working phone lines to handle incoming calls. I called again on Wednesday afternoon when the technician again failed to show up, and was told to expect someone between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Thursday Dec. 30th. It is now mid-day on Dec. 31st and I have yet to hear from a technican to facilitate repairs. We know that we have lost business due to customers not being able to contact us by telephone. Frustrated with the customer service department, I had escalated the problem to the supervisor level as of Monday the 27th with equally unsatisfactory results. I am looking to switch my telephone service to one of the T1 providers in our area.

AT&T WORST Customer Service Ever
AT&T Technician came out to my house to install U-verse, couldn't install it took my phone service off and AT&T now wants to come back 3 weeks later to fix it. I have no phone services or DSL. I Spend 6 hours on personal cell phone trying to fix THEIR error and still haven't had any luck. Elderly person with medical conditions needs phone access for emergency but AT&T won't act on it; perhaps, they are expecting us to go to the nearby public phone. AT&T Supervisors acknowledged their wrong doing but are doing nothing productive about it. I emailed CEO with no response. I have lost day and half of work because of them...Customer service stated most associates are out on vacation...how is that my fault? Shame of them!I pay their bill every month and on time...shame on me! Ever since I got their service, the phone line has horrible static, they blame it on filters. I buy filters, they blame it on the modem. The change the modem and blame it on the "red key"??? DSL service drops at least two to three times per week, horrible customer service...I live in a metropolitan area of Los Angeles, this shouldn't be happening. AT&T has a grasp of the LA market no other providers service that area...I would give anything to switch to any one but them. I have Verizon in the office...THEY ARE FANTASTIC, I have never had an issue with them. AT&T doesn't care.

Repair service 611 and online stinks.
Phone went out on Sunday 8 pm no dial tone. I had to use my cell phone to call repair service as the Internet repair service was having hi volume and couldn't pull up records. What a joke.After holding 45 minutes I was politely disconnected. No way to get any help.I am a senior with health problems Had to borrow neighbors phone next morning. On hold 30 minutes YEA! finally got to schedule a repair for 9 days down the road.Now look I am a senior on oxygen due to all the anxiety I had a breathing attack.I need my land line for health reasons.I can't afford to pay 35 cents a minute for going over my minutes on my cell phone.This puts me up the creek without a paddle. Time Warner phone service looks better and better to me...Used all my minutes on hold to 611 This unacceptable service.

AT&T SIM card pay as you go
I was sold a pay as you go SIM card by AT&T which was sold as a $2 Unlimited Daily Talk & Text Plan , however charges/debits have been taken from my account from the first day, and 3 days later my balance depleted to half of the original amoutn I had loaded. When calling customer service I was informed that these were GPRS charges, coming from the fact that I was using a smartphone and although I had not signed up for a DATA plan, smartphones automatically make data calls, hence why I was charged, which was without my knowledge nor authorization, and most of all with no prior warning from At&t. THe customer service representative, told me that I should have been warned at the store, that these SIM cards are to be used with feature phones, not smartphones, as this problem happens a lot. At&t credited me only $2 as gesture, whereas my account was already debited $10 and debited rapidly. They then said I should contact the phone maker, and Samsung informed me that it was up to At&t to disable data/internet connections, not the phone manufacturer. At&t disabled the internet afterwards, but claimed that this might get undone without their control. THis is a false offer, which charges which took place without my awareness nor understanding, and I believe At&t is illegally charging customers.

AT&T Customer Service rivals Sprint
Worst Customer Service Experience Ever - I thought Sprint was bad. I just got dropped off with AT&T Customer Service - after 4 transfers! I had to explain to a CSR how a cancellation works. Any time you ask to speak with a supervisor - you get the same "They are in a meeting now". They still don't understand that I need a recording of my new number on the cancelled nunmber (portuing was not possible). Clearly executives care less about customers otherwise this would not happen. 4 Transfers because no one wanted to own the problem. Funny thing is they greet with...how can I make you a very satisfied customer? Cannot wait to get a cable company or Verizon FIOS to come to Frisco TX.

AT&T Cell Phone
I changed my service to at&t about two months ago, I received my first bill which was outragious!!!!! I could not believe all the charges, I understand they prorate but that should be told to the customers right off the back. I do agree with the other complaint's about at&t not giving you any kind of extension to pay the bill. The customer service *** big time, no kind of customer service skill what so ever. I have to say I will never recommend AT&T to none of my family or friends stay away from at&t........

ATT False advirtising, will not honor waranty
I purchased a Rugby by Samsung wireless phone in April 2010. It was advertised as military grade, durable. The ad show it being run over by a pick up and working, I have had my phone for 9 months, the internal screen is intermittently going white, I called ATT and they refuse to guarantee it or replace it. This is due to a chip in the hinge, it appears to be from a stress fracture possible from the design of the hinge. The hinge is solid and does not allow unusual movement. The screen going white is from a internal issue not associated to the minor case damage. I talked to a ATT manager William Cottone about this. He is offering me a rebuilt Rugby if I sign to a new 2 year contract. I could get a new phone with a upgrade contract for what they are offering me. I claim that the damage is due to design fault, and the problem with the phone is internal. These should be warranted, I believe that due to the ad they left a false impression of the quality and durability of the phone and should be recalled or mandated to accept any warranty claims due to the nature of the advertising. I feel cheated by ATT, I paid $130 extra to get a better stronger phone because of the ad and in store sales personnel. I have found that the quality does not meet the advertising, I feel that I have been cheated by ATT. I feel that due to advertising showing a phone that is near indestructible, they should be forced to honor any return or warranty claim, or be charged with false advertising. ATTshows this model of phone through shock, drop, dust and it getting run over by a f350 with 1 ton of asphalt in the bed. My phone has had only regular use and is falling apart, and the company wants me to sign on or pay more for this product. I believe the hinge failure is a design flaw as well.

Read other entries here about this scam, called and was treated very rudely when I informed them that I used the account number given concerning an alleged AT&T debt. I then contacted the FBI who then refered me to the postal inspector general since the alleged bill was sent by mail. Please report this scam to the USPS inspector general. Collectively we can imprison these thieves. Feel free to email me concerning this matter. AT&T and I had a good laugh at just how obvious this scam is. Ms.....of the FBI also was amused at such stupidity on Calvary's part.

Horrible customer service can not fix over charges
Purchased contract throught att store in the Weastfarms Mall in Connecticut for my tv and internet. Was told I had to go with Direct Tv which was fine because they did not have u-verse in my area. When I bought the Direct Tv package I was told if I get the NFL package I would receive free hd for life. I am billed every month $10.00 for HD and they can not seem to fix it. I also purchased internet, I told them I wanted high speed internet they said it would be $14.95 a month then they told me there was no high speed in my area. That was ok, so they said I had to go with basic internet and it would be cheaper $9.95 a month. My first bill was $47.00 and i paid it. But called to question the charge and they said that is normal there would be up coming months I would not have to pay anything. Next month received a bill for $29.95 and I paid it. Called again they told me I would get a credit never received a credit. Next month another bill for $29.95. I am into there basic Internet for almost $80.00 in two months and will not pay anymore. I have made five trips to the store, four phone calls, and have spoken to six sales people and four of the store managers with noting resolve in four months. What kind of business is this?

Impossible to talk with live person
I have been on hold for 45 minutes and still holding. Recording keeps coming on saying "Thank you for your patience". My patience has run out. I am being charged for a service I am not getting. I talked to two different people right at the beginning and they passed me off to the recording about being patient. Why can't we talk to a live person within a reasonable amount of time. The Patience recording says it will be answered in the order it was received. They must have a huge volume of calls. Maybe we all need to apply for a job with them to reduce these calls. Most of us speak American(English) Do they care about there customers.....???? apparently not Arthur Clark Leesburg, Georgia nyax

ATT wireless customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with.
ATT Wireless Service is absolutely horrible, and I am going to go out of my way to complain. I've placed an order via ATT Premier site after having been told 12 different things by 12 different ATT representatives. I finally place the order. ATT processes the order incorrectly. They activate one of the phones I ordered 3 days before I received the phone! I call in and spend 2 hours talking to 4 different people to resolve the issue. I get disconnected and they don't call back. I'm now back in the customer care cue. Absolutely horrible. I'll file a complaint; Consumers should do business with other carriers - not with ATT!

Even when I was a customer they refused to work with me with my bill. :x
Well, here is the deal. I worked for an AT&T call center for a long time, my job was billing so I know a lot about your situation.
First off, you are no longer a customer with their company, so no one is going to go out of their way to help you. Secondly, the fact that no one is setting a payment arrangement for you for a cancelled account is not by representatives choice, it is a SYSTEM thing. No one will be able to set an arrangement for a cancelled account, not even God himself. The system simply does not allow it.
Now, whoever gave you an alloted amount of time when your account will go to collections is high. That depends on your account payment history, tenure, etc.
You have at the minimum 30 days from the date of cancellation, but I have seen up to 3 months. Good luck!
