AT&T has gotten so large that they could care less if even 10% of their clients gave them one star. Deceptive, scammers, poor service, poor everything. I've had pigeons help me more than an att rep. I get better internet in a third world country that with my att service. Sad for the people that MUST stay with this service.

Been w/o service for a week…. Technician shows up & notes he fixed my issue, but not once did he knock on my door to check with me. So now guess what, we have to do it all over again tomorrow. Save yourself the trouble and don't choose AT&T for service

At&t used to be great, but have gone straight downhill in customer service in the last few years. I've been put on hold for 30 minutes to be hung up on right before a supervisor came on the line, after 3 calls still no solution I'm expected to go without phone service for 3 to 5 business days while they credit my account and then supposed to call back and authorize another payment once I finally received funds ( money is tight only had enough to cover my bill to begin) but now because it will be late by then I have to pay a higher amount. My advice go with any company other than at&t because they are the worst.

Lying Scammers
August 28, 2022

From the moment I began my journey with AT & T switching from a company I had been with for over 30 years, things became apparent. The store people all have different information, none can actually tell you what your monthly bill will be. Customer service on the phone is less than helpful and I was told to switch to T-Mobile by one of these programmed individuals. No Help in any direction Billing is two months in advance and any change is cause for activation fees, this fee and that fee and other such fees. I am removing myself from this fiasco and it will coast me $1000. To pay off new phones before I can leave. Please do not switch to AT & T.

Called their retention dept to try to get a better deal to save money in these pandemic times and representative said they could save me $40 a month. I signed up along with a phone upgrade. Was all happy till I got the email of my new services, instead of $40 less my new monthly bill is going be $40 more! Tried calling to rectify, still on the phone with them for over an hour. Will cancel and switch to Verizon or T-Mobile. ATT doesn't care about their customers. Stay away worst customer service!

Confusion, lack of customer service and promises made and never kept. Send back all phones and paid off the one we still had and now the crooks want 1700. 00 to close a 300.00 account.
Use Tmobile or even Twigby stay away from ATT

They suck!
April 17, 2017

This is a crooked corporation that jacks up prices and provides terrible service. I get much better terms in my home country back in the good old European Union for just the fraction of the cost. I'm so happy I don't have to put up with those bastards anymore!

It recently took me 4 hours to switch my daughter from my plan to her own. Visited 3 stores in the Minneapolis area and talked to 3 reps on the phone. What a runaround. The most despicable was the Rosedale Mall store which flat our refused to help. I posted the below review on the site and it was rejected by ATT - they censor their customer ratings so all of them are 4 or 5 stars - what a pathetic fraud of a company.

"All we asked for was a new SIM card. They refused to help. Why - no commission - this store is all about how much they can fleece you for, forget about customer service. Steer clear. Better store one mile away where they were glad to help."

Ridiculous
April 2, 2020

I recently became a customer with this company. And within 2 months I've had enough. I am done this company. Their service sucks, internet is slow as $#*!, and rude $#*! employees. Nearly impossible to get customer service. And if you need an extra day to pay your bill. Hang it up. They want that 45 dollar reconnection fee. Then Another fee for calling them and sitting on hold for more than 30 min...$20 bucks. They act like we inconvenience them with their problems. I've never had a company be so rude. This is a joke. Scamming and ripping people off for a necessity should be illegal. I owe them about 1100 dollars for a plan I signed up for. They can kiss my $#*! and charge it to the game. I'd rather have straight talk.

I've had service issues with ATT through the years, but today takes the cake. I was notified via their engineering department, less than 16 hours before a scheduled install (a transfer of service from another address) that they would not be able to complete my install. To make matters worse they stated that the tentative time for repair of the issue was 3/17. Today is 2/17. How many people in 2023 can go potentially 30 days absent internet access. I at times work from home and like many my entire security suite, home automation suite and entertainment suite is connected via my internet connection. This is a new home requiring me to delay all of my other contractors because of the ridiculously late notice. When asked to escalate the call, I was told the immediate supervisor was out, as was the next level manager. Clearly my business is not of value.

AT&T used to be the best company out there. They are now the most expensive, least customer service oriented, most dropped calls, bills go up monthly, last bill went up 10% or more. No help, can't get through when you call, and they just don't care. Verizon and even T-Mobile are so much more interested in getting the consumer business. I am so fed up. Run, anyone is better.

Horrible customer service
September 20, 2023

Their customer support is quite frankly the worst I've ever dealt with specifically the fraud protection who try and get aggressive with you because you can't remember something right away this whole company needs to be dissolved

Poor
June 18, 2022

Tried to book a plan for an upcoming US vacation. Buying online doesn't work, their forms want a phone number but don't take international ones. Support said they can help but it'd be best to wait a week as the plan would activate immediately. Waited a week, contacted support again only to be informed that "Oh - out network had an update and your phone no longer works with AT&T. But you can buy a new one from us...". Yeah right.

Stay away from this company!

Bad connection
December 4, 2022

I'm a truck driver. I drive all over the US. It's really essential for me to have great service in every area.

I was with Verizon originaly but one of your workers at the store told me that you guys have better coverage.
I changed everyone on my business account over to At&t immediately. The person in McKinney store messed up a bunch of things in my account and they are unable to correct the issues.

The service is extremely poor. I send an email 2 days ago and it is still sending. As is indicated in the attached photograph.

Here is some advice don't listen to the AT&T agents because they lie through their teeth

Run the Other Way!
February 15, 2022

Horrid experience, starting with those very pushy guys standing at Sams. Many things he said were untrue, decided to send ordered, unopened phones right back after seeing all the bad reviews, and I have had untold awful hours on the phone ever since, after AT&T activated one of the unopened phones that was returned. (They have proof it was returned and "don't know how that happened") Each time they transfer you to another person, you have to tell the story over again. It has been a nightmare and I will never ever go with AT&T again.

Been going on 10 days and honestly I have no clue what is happening. How can a major company not be more proactive in fixing issues? I can't get a refund UNTIL the issue is fixed? I have no service! But lord do they push the sales pitch. "Care to learn about joining our wireless plan?"

We have had service with ATT for decades without any issues. Great service in Milwaukee, WI. Repeated failures in Madison, Wisconsin. They make 'expedited' appointments but, then, don't come or cancel. Appointment window 4-8 but told by 6:30, technicians may go home already. (Can't understand that concept). We have had no Broadband/Wifi, cable, or phone service since 11/28 and it is now 12/15. Very poor service and sorry's don't help us. Avoid ATT. It's been a nightmare for us.

Warning! Stay away from the middlemen like Walmart, Sam's Club and others. I was promised 2 free phones, which was a lie (it was a trade-in). I was also promised $40 monthly payments (lie). My first bill was $332 monthly for 2 phones, that were charged to my account after cancellation. Although they said that you have 14 to cancel (buyer's remorse), I received the bill 15 days after signing up, nullifying the 14 days cancellation for no charges. They were never willing to tell me how much I would be paying until then. Furthermore, the trade-in is a scam. I am warning anybody to stay away from AT&T. Also, the customer service phone lines are mostly of no help. There are no different departments (Support, Billing,etc.) to address your needs. They are situated in third world countries: South Africa, Philippine, Jamaica, and many other such countries. Buyers beware,

Trash
March 6, 2023

This is the worst carrier I've ever had to deal with.
Our phone bill keeps going up, the customer service talks in circles.
My job gives us a discount for AT&T, but I quote the representative told me the plan I have doesn't honor the discount.
Never bothered explain to me why or which one would.
I work hard for my income, and the last thing I want to do is to pay it out to a company as shady as AT&T.
And they expect everyone to be able to print things off from a computer.
Some of us are a generation that don't have that technology, they didn't care.
So with the ratings I see I'm not surprised...
Get rid of them before they cost you a bill you can't pay js

It drains you
July 21, 2022

Can you imagine a billion-dollar company stealing from the average American? You may think that's absurd, but it is actually truth! Take my case for example. We've been ATT customers since 2012. And not because their service is great, but for the simple reason that they were the only ones who had better coverage in our area. For the most part their service was good, with the occasional hiccups. I hated calling their customer service line, not so much because of their agents, but because it takes at least an hour before you can actually speak to a human. And then you get transferred from one agent to another and you have to re-tell your issue over and over again.
