Unable to Set Up User ID for Landline

I have had the same landline for 18 years. I never set up an ID for my account here online, but my last payment never made it in, and I want to set up my account to check my bill and so forth.

The system does not let me set up a User ID. It says that my account is "ineligible" for this service.

I have tried to call customer support. After a long wait, I spoke to someone and then was transferred to another division. I was on hold there for about 10 minutes when they hung up on me.

I understand that those of us w/old-fashioned landlines are probably not at the top of AT&T's priority list, but they're still getting money out of us every month, and I would hope that we would be treated better than this.

I just want a User ID so that I can view my bill/account online. That shouldn't be difficult in 2022.

Any help is appreciated. TIA.

Well! Looks like I will be continuing to have att phone service instead xfinity voice. Because of my sisters stubborness an uncooperation in allowing me to have a different phone number. I won't be able to create a new user id, because of att's website is corrupt. I tried emailing one of leadership team and the email button didn't work.

@BryanH60 Try the form posted in the initial response to my query instead of contacting an individual person.

Your talking about the customer care executive form. ATT removed the link, the page is no longer there. In order to communicate with the vp you need to call att customer service for them contact them. And I already have been down that route.

" I was able to get the problem resolved. I had several people call me when I submitted the form initially. Then, last week, I had someone walk me through setting up the ID. What made the difference for me was that she had the confirmation code. (Previously, when ATT would call me with the code, the automated message wouldn't give it to me. It would say, "The confirmation code is. Please use within...") So with her verbally giving me the code, I set up my account. "

And yet others can not, cutomer service type my account number and zipcode on there computer only to get an error. So I don't understant how you were able do that, when others could not.

@BryanH60 I don't know, either. The link to the form is, as you say, no longer active. I guess I got lucky. 🤷‍♀️ I am sorry you're still having to deal with this. I agree that the customer service is abysmal when there is no option but to wait on hold for an hour.

Well, ATT fixed the create a new user id page. I was able get to verification code page. The bad news is that I have already successfully re-setup voice with xfinity with a new landline phone number.
