ATT Torture - Cannot Upgrade - Over 7 hours of Misery
I have spent 7 hours and 13 minutes on the phone with 19 different AT&T Reps from customer care, web support, the chat, and premiere care. All I want to do is upgrade my 5 dumb phones that I have owned since Jun of 2013 to Samsung Galaxy S5 phones with zero cost on a 2 year contract.
3 Phones I upgraded on line - no problems.
2 phones only offered five different Apple IPhone 6 phones at significant cost.
NO ONE at AT&T has been able to figure out how to help.
I'm going to Sprint.

UPDATE NO SOLUTION!!
NOW UP TO OVER 9 HOURS, and 22 Reps. This is absolutely CRAZY!
I was TOLD I get 5 Samsung Galaxy S5's free on a two year plan, with a mobile share plan of 30GB at $130/mon.
NOW I AM TOLD BY THE 23RD AT&T REP THAT EACH PHONE IS ALSO $40 PER MONTH FOR AN ADDITIONAL $200????
AT&T MISLED ME, CHEATED, AND PROVIDES HORIFFIC CUSTOMER CARE

You are trying to buy a phone ATT no longer carries in sub sta tail quantity - leftovers.
The phone is 1 1/2 years old and if they run out, they run out.
Either pick another phone or shop elsewhere.
If want the Samsung S5 then pick up a couple on eBay for $250 each.

Hold the phone. You are going to pay $600 for 2 year contracts on 5 phones that sell retail for less than half?
You should have come here first. Your data plan means a $25 discount off line fee IF YOU ARE OUT OF CONTRACT. Even on ATT site the phone is $500. But you are going to pay $600

Cancel all the phone orders, you can do so, since you don't have them shipped yet.
Go any where else, and buy the S5 at retail.
Take the 5 phones to ATT for free SIM cards when they arrive.
Your line fee would then be only $15 on each phone, plus the $130 for data.

You are wrong. If I try to add a new line, there they are.

What do you mean add a line? Don't you already have ATT service?

You do not have it right. The data plan is $130/mon. Phones were free with a 2 year contract

You totally don't understand the Mobile share value plan. The phones have never been free.
You know the line fee you now pay for each dumb phone? Well the line fee for smartphones if you buy with a contract is $40
if you do not use the 2 year contract, your line fee is only $15

Someone before said my two of five phones could not get the Samsung for free because they were out of stock. If I try to add a new line, the phones are there.
