I HATE AT&T! DO NOT USE AT&T!

We recently bundled our services-Uverse Internet, Direct TV, and Wireless-We were told this would save us money. On our MyAT&T app, it showed our new bill as $519.00 when it sould have been no more than $250.00. Within a 30 day period, I had called AT&T over 10 times with different problems. I also spoke to 3 supervisors, all of whom assured me I would not have to worry about my bill anymore. Yeah, right. My most recent problem with the bill is that AT&T charged my debit card my total bill twice (I had to call after our autopay didin't work like I was assured it would when I spoke to a representative on a previous call). I called to inform them of the error and they refuned me the duplicate charge. Well, now my new bill says I owe for the past 2 months. An AT&T representative told me there records show all payments were refuned. I checked my bank's app and called my bank and was told, no, they only refuned you the one duplicate charge. So, AT&T did get my previous months payment. AT&T is a fraudulent company with no respect for their customers. I am only writing this note because I was just disconnected again while being transferred to the "department that could definitely fix my problems with the bill". And when no one called back (because AT&T taks a contact number in case you get disconnected, someone will call back) I called and was told by the automated service that the department was closed and I should call back durning buisness hours. My total time on the phone before being disconnected was 1 hour and 2 minutes. Like I said AT&T has terrible customer service. A mistake every once in a while I can understand, but when it's every few days and something is wrong, that is unacceptable. Not once has this comapny followed through with what they promised or attmpted to be accountable for their mistakes and poor service. So, tomorrow I will be back on the phone attempting to correct the trouble and mistakes AT&T has caused for my family. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Its' not worth your time, money, or frustration.

All cellular, cable no internet carriers bill a month ahead with 3-4 weeks to pay, so that you are always paying for the current months bill.   Because it takes almost a month before you get the first bill, it will include a partial first month and a full second months bill.  With activation and installment fees, the result is a bill close to double your normal bill.

 

look at the details on the bill, especially the dates and fees.  It may be confusing, but it should make sense now that you know what to look for.

I hear you. I am having terrible service with my cell phone. I have had Direct TV before when they were separate from ATT and they were just deceiving. DON'T choose ATT for your cell phone service. They will take your money and promise service that just doesn't work well. I really, really wish you the best.

Thats why all cell carriers have a 14 day cancelation policy.  It gives you a no fault window to change you mind 

 

I was concerned when I switched, so I just did one phone for a week.  Since I had no problem, I switched the rest over.  If service had been poor, I would have switched back.

No provider has service everywhere. If AT&T's service does not work well where you need it to, go to a provider that has service where you need it.

I have had ATT for years. I
think it was LA cellular before that and another carrier before that. Total it has been realistically 14+ years. I am not new to ATT . Their service has just gotten worse. There are many companies and services I have encountered over my lifetime. I realize things aren't always perfect, but the customer service one receives along with trying to make a customer happy
says a lot about a company.
ATT NEEDS A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT. In this day and age word of mouth is where a lot of people make decisions about what the buy and who they give their hard earned money too. Never will I refer ATT to anyone.

Dear Jbfoulks, I agree, I asked at AT&T Community today:

"Where is the Third Party NON-AT&T U Verse Wi-Fi Modem list"

and was inundated with AT&T people stating there is NO LIST to have your own equipment and I have no choice in the matter.

They gave no options and completely shut down my thread because according to them I was not "courteous" although the previous replies were discourteous, condescending and dismissive. 

As what happens with any controlling monopoly they censored me.

Something must be done, more consumers please contact the FCC regarding the many issues regarding the malfeisance by AT&T.

Also, they will state your inquiry is resolved, that YOU found a solution as THEIR decision which really ticked me off too!  Trying to make people think you found their "solution" adequate when in FACT you did not.
