CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE

Not sure if anyone from ATT monitors this forum, but if they do they should be ashamed of the lack of customer service I have received over the last month.  It all started when my phone and TV where shut off due to a miscommunication of ATT's part.  Getting them turned back on required over 3 hours on the phone with them and multiple departments getting it turned back on.   Then the next month's bill included re connection fees for their mistake.  Again about 2 hours on the phone and still no resolution on the over-payment despite being told that it would happen.     I finally cancelled the UVERSE and phone and kept the internet, but the next bill came with a fee for equipment turn in that was not even due at the time.  It seems as if, unless you are lucky enough to get the same person (I believe you have a better chance of winning the lottery), no one records anything on your account for follow up.  Everyone says they do but there never seems to be any recollection when i have to call back.  Next came a line failure on the internet.  I went through the troubleshooting procedures on another 2 hour phone call and it was determined that i would need a technician and that one would be at my hours between 4-8 PM on the next day.   At 8:30 PM another phone call produced the answer that the technician would not be able to make it, but I would be a priority the next day and would get a call 30 minutes beforehand when the tech was on the way.   10 AM on my priority day, I chatted with someone who told me that i was not even scheduled for a service call but he was sorry for my inconvenience and he would be glad to schedule me a tech for 2 days later.  What a runaround.   I am going to get back on the phone tonight and try to discuss my billling and service calls, but don't hold much hope for any resolution.   What a pity, that a company the size of ATT cannot get something as simple as good customer service down.  I AM APPALLED and would welcome someone with authority to call me and discuss.

Absolutely the worst customer service/tech support.

Today I called to figure out why I cannot set up an ATT e-mail (Yahoo) account on Outlook. First they say "you can't do that". Then I showed the agent where you can go to the Yahoo Plus e-mail but you have to pay $5 extra to get automatic forwarding. The agent still said that you could not auto forward. Then I asked her to verify the IMAP and SMTP settings for e-mail she basically said "yes, that's correct" but none of the options would work. She transferred me to a 2nd level "support" who said she did not have access to the e-mail settings that I just verified with the other agent, and she referred me to a phone number to Microsoft that is disconnected. What a total waste of time.

So you came here, created a new account and then searched for a topic that's over two years old (and doesn't really address your Outlook issue) just so you could add your story?

As this is a customer-to-customer forum and you may find a lot of us who agree with your impression of AT&T's "support", if you would like help with your issue please start a new thread of your own with as much detail as possible.

Closing this old thread.
