Returned Phone has Not Been Received
I returned a phone to ATT back at the end of October. I used the USPS smartlabel that was provided in the box with the new phone, per the instructions provided by my CSR. I dropped off at Post Office without waiting for them to scan. I had no idea that ATT would not be able to track using their own generated label. Now ATT is saying the device was never received, refusing to dig deeper to find their own smart label information, and charging me $900 for the device I sent back to them. I have spent countless (over 5) hours on the phone with Customer Support, getting conflicting info, dealing with totally incompetent staff who finally would transfer me to an equally incompetent supervisor and I'm done. I'm ready to contact my attorney to fight the charges, transfer all three of my lines to Verizon, and say goodbye to ATT for good. After a decade of being a loyal customer. The last supervisor I spoke with criticized me for not taking a picture of the tracking information (how was I to know that ATT wouldn't have this information when they supplied the label?!) and accused me of lying about sending the device back. He told me to go to the Post Office, which I did-- twice. And twice I was told by USPS that they need the tracking information from the shipper (technically ATT) to look into it.
I'm stuck.
ATT, you are the absolute worst.

I have a phone that was replaced due to it being broken!?i have contacted AT&T at least 5 times, have talked to probably 10 people, have been other companies to call& have been told 3 times that a form would be sent to me so that I could return the phone! I was told I’m probably being billed for this & I want this matter taken care of! The phone was *** under my phone ***! All I need is a return label & assurance I have not and will not be paying anything for this phone! Thank you! Nickie ***

Same thing is happening to me. Been 3 weeks and AT&T is saying they don't have the phone yet. I'll give them until my bill is due. If this hasn't been resolved by then I'm gone. Here I thought they had turned the customer service corner from the past but I guess I was wrong.

after I showed them in person at an AT&T store all documentation that
showed I sent the phone back and that it was received on their end. There
was a time delay because their third party let the package sit at a
facility for weeks!!!
Stay on them. I logged over 16 hours in phone calls and disputes. It took
weeks and AT&T was terrible to work with. I was treated like a liar and
thief. Very little was done in reparation. I’ve toyed with leaving AT&T
many times, unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a major carrier that
treats their customers any better.

The same thing is happening to me. I am a single mother struggling to pay my current bills and with a $400 charge for a phone I returned months ago has left me in despair. The bill is not even due yet and they have taken the liberty to “suspend” my service. I am so disgusted and disappointed and will make it my life mission to take AT&T down. Between two months I have spent over 6 hours on the phone and to this day there is no record when I call of any of the issues I’ve been going through. I will let all my friends and family know never to join AT&T and spread this through social media like wild fire. I will not pay for a phone that I no longer have in my possession. This is disgusting and quite frankly it is FRAUDULENT!!!!!!! You will pay for this.
