Does anyone happen to have contact information for someone in upper management? (a PM or email to me with the information is fine)
Here's the quick-n-dirty of it:
- Been a customer for 5-years, zero issues
- Moved from Baltimore to Jacksonville last year
- No problems at ALL until about 6-months ago
- Around February service went from full bars to 'searching/one bar'
- For a couple of months they opened a case and concluced that they did not renew a lease on a local tower
- For six months or so, I consistantly call in; and complain... investigate, etc.
- Finally received a 'supervisor'. I was told to use my WIFI for VOIP and to download Google Voice (really)
- Supervisor also claims that the termination fee is for the hardware; not the service.
- She explained that ATT pays 'retail' price for the phones (which I had to laugh at), and we are paying it back
So there's the nuts-and-bolts of it. If anyone can provide a 'real' management level contact I would be very grateful!

1. this is a peer to peer forum, so "bumping for attention" will not do anything
2. if you want assistance send a PM fo jamileh with as much detail as possible, she will pass it on to a member of here team
3. there is no promise of service 100 percent of the time by any cell carrier in the world, it cannot be done
4. lack of service is pretty much not a valid reason for terminating your contract with no etf
5. you have no method of know what ATT or any carrier pays for the devices, they don;t make money of the devices, they make it on the service
6. the ETF is for the penalty for ending the 2 year binding contract that you signed when you got the device at the greatly reduced price, if you want to be able to end a contract at any time with no penalty the pay full retail for the device and not the subsidized price. The terms and conditions, especially the ttermination penalities and how they are applied are specificly spelled out in the agreement and the addendeums
Send the PM to jamileh

I appreciate your response Wingrider; and will PM the mod.
However, I'm shocked that any consumer can say 'lack of service is not valid reaon for removing ETF fees'. Read over again what you sad and say it out loud.
In regards to 'not knowing what ATT pays'.... It's another statement that boggles my mind. Looking at your post count, you must have some intelligence to you. If you think that ATT (or any provider) pays retail for phones; you are highly misled.
Anyway, I do at least appreciate you taking the time in responding. Yesterday I opened a case with the FTC, FCC and BBB. Today, I'm contacting our corporate rep for ATT[Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].

don't be shocks, that isthe standard with all carriers, they do not promise 100 percent coverange and service 100 percent of the time, it is documented in the agreements that you signed.
I am not going into anyo of your comments on my intelligence, no need to respond to a insult. Simple statement unless you have 100 percent inside knowledge about what and carrier pays for any device you cannot make a facutal validated statement, you are just putting forth your own opinion that is just that yours.
Good luck in your battles, but you might want to sit down and actually read all the paperwork that you put you binding signature to that you probably ignored when you got your phone, here is a ling in case you don;t have tour original documentation
