Why can’t AT&T offer anymore COVID-19 help? Spectrum was much more helpful.
Even though the pandemic is nowhere near over, AT&T has ended the meager help that they provided. And I had to beg to get it. And in the end they wouldn’t help any further. Even after I told them I was having surgery next week and needed an extension at least through then. Heartless.
On the other hand, Spectrum wiped out three months of cable and internet service-$600-with one simple request for help. And another $200 was put on an installment plan.
I’ll be switching to them for my cellular service.

I agree the same thing is happening to me!!!! They will not help with anything. Your mortgage company helps your utility your light but you ask help for your cell phone and they do nothing

Other carriers extended assistance to june 20 or 30. So why should at&t do more when all it does is delay the big bill? Mortgages and utilities still have to get paid eventually. If they add up for 6 months? 10 months? Will you have the money then?
If the answer is no, you should have planned on your exit to get out of your at&t debt - you had 3 months.

At&t did exactly the same as other carriers. Per the FCC keep america connected agreement. You got 3 months of help.
All carriers agreed to not suspend Or charge late or overage fees for customers who requested more time (waivers) to pay till May 15, extended to june 30.
All this did was delay payment making 3 months due at once. If you can get a late arraignment now, it still has to be set up online Through myATT account.
I had this option as well, but didnt see the point In delaying the inevitable big bill.

At&t signed up for the Keep Americans Connected Pledge, gave all of their customers 3 months of extension (march 15 - June 30) for all lines of businesses and removed late fee charges in all accounts from february 15 to June 30. Almost all providers in US signed up, it could be complicated for you to make the payments at the moment and its understandable but as well for all businesses in the US its hard right now and who knows when the Pandemic will be over. At&t must pay their investors, providers or contractors, employees, taxes, etc. If theres no cashflow they can't make all this things. Some accounts qualify for more time of extension, some others don't based on multiple factors.
