HBOMax removed from Grandfathered plans

In early January, my HBOMax account stopped working after having it set up for years.

I chatted with support multiple times and was transferred to multiple people. 

At the end of the conversation, I was just told that ATT is removing HBOMax services from all their plans, including older plans.

It just seemed off that I was given this answer when all the ATT documentation still states that several older plans still have access.

Is anyone else experiencing the same?

I've got the same problem.  Had HBO Max included with my Unlimited Plus until 2 weeks ago.

A trouble ticket was issued last week and I haven't heard from AT&T since.

Yes, I also had a ticket opened during my first conversation, but I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks. That is when I reached out again and they gave me that answer.

I have the AT&T Unlimited PlusSM 

By the response of ATTHelp, I need to spend another couple of hours with support to get a different answer.

I'm having the same issue. I feel like there trying to take it away... I have not changed anything to get it removed.

Since HboMax is changing to Max, am I going to have access to Max? Or is it done completely

According to this (non-authoritative) article, you'll get to keep it.  It also says you should have gotten an e-mail telling you that.

Any resolution? I’m going through the same thing right now. 3 months trying to get reinstated so far.

I'm dealing with the same issue and have spent literally hours on the phone and in chats with zero resolution.  This feels very much like a bait and swtich and like AT&T is trying to get customers off of these plans.  In my case, I've had HBO for years...years.  Suddenly it disappears and I just get the run around despite making no authorized changes to my account.  Feels very dirty.

I’m still dealing with trying to get it fixed.
