Problem creating U-verse member ID.

When I transferred billing responsibility, I was told that the old U-verse member ID, call it [email scrubbed], would expire and I needed to create a new ID.

When completing registration online, I was told to create a new member ID, only to be told "Something went wrong, try again later."

After talking to a tech person for two hours, I was told that part of the problem was that I did not have access to the old ID account, and they would send me a temp password. OK.

A quick call to the "loyalty" department confirmed, I have to get e new ID.

Two week later, with access to the old ID account, still no luck. So another call. This time  after I  talked to tech for an hour, I was told they would call me back within the day. Nope.

So another call to tech. This time I was told they had to contact "Security" but couldn't find the contact info. They would contact the problem and fix it in 48 hours. Nope.

So today I called. I was  told that my ID is the old ID. I must aedmit that I would rather get anew ID with an att.net extension, but that seems to be of minor consideration. The main thing for me is to make sure the process is complete and there are are no problems lurking.

So am I supposed to keep the old Id or get a new one? If I get a new one how do I fix the problem in the process?

Hey Tolczyk. Thanks for reaching out about wanting to change your member ID, and we'd be happy to help you. 

 

If you're able to get into your account using the old ID then you'll be able to change your user ID

  1. Go to your myAT&T Profile and scroll to Sign-in info.
  2. Choose Edit for your User ID.
  3. Enter your new ID. If you enter an existing ID, we may offer to combine them.
  4. Check the box to Save your ID, if you see it.
  5. Save your changes.

Let us know if this helps.

You have not answered my question.

My question is simple:

Twice I have been told that  I will be getting a new Uverse member ID. 

Once I have been told that I keep the old Uverse member ID. 

Which is it?

Maybe this forum might work. I am trying to create a U-verse member ID so I can download the MacAfee security suite. 

  • I go to att.net/uverse
  •  I get the screen that says "let's find your account" and the correct account number is shown.
  • I click on continue
  • I then get the Enter Your Verification Code but tech support has advised me to "use your passcode instead"
  • I click on use your passcode and get the Verify Your Info screen. I put in the passcode
  • I get the You're All Set screen and the opportunity to create a uverse member ID. 
  • I click that link and...

Something isn't working right

Something went wrong on our end. Let’s try this again. Please sign back in.
  • Tech support has no idea what is going on. I've been on the phone for hours. Ideas anyone????

Thanks..Paul M
