AT&T Stole half my data!

I bought the $300 year of service deal. Followed ALL instructions. When I tried to activate I got an error message. Web would NOT activate my phone. I called in for support. Took them 20 minutes but they figured it out and activated the phone.

THEN - I see I'm only getting 8GB of data instead of 16GB! 

I call back and they tell me because I activated over the phone I'm not eligible for 16GB. WHAT? I did NOTHING wrong. I tried to activate online! Their system was screwed up. This is totally unfaIr. Fraud even. 

What do I do to get my full allotment of data?

Did you get this resolved?  Like your situation, I signed up for the 16 gb $300 annual plan and I'm only seeing 8 gb available.

Sort of. And to all of you AT&T employees and apologists on here...here's what happened: I filed a BBB and FCC complaint. I was contacted by someone from "The President's Office" who told me she had investigated the matter and what happened is when I got the error and called in (THE CORRECT THING TO DO) the poorly trained/managed employees at the call center screwed up and opened a new account for me instead of modifying the account already opened for me when I signed up online. That's why I only have/had 8gb. This was 100% the fault of AT&T and acknowledged as such. They are still "working to make it right" and have promised to do so. Let's see. AT&T should be embarrassed that it takes FCC complaints to resolve issues like this. I spoke to many reps and one "senior" manager before resorting to the FCC/BBB complaint - you'd think a manager could figure this out. Guess not.

Hello @mhdude, we understand that you're experiencing concerns with your account as well, and we'd like to provide you with more information. 

 

Be advised, it can take up to two billing cycles for the GB data to update on your account. You won't be charged for any additional data after the 8GBs are used. 

 

Feel free to reach out to us after your second billing cycle to confirm if that information has been updated in your account. 

 

Thanks for reaching out to the AT&T Community Forums.
