If I could give ZERO stars, I would. We received a bill for $5,000 for long distances charges we didn’t make. Spoke to a rep on 12/13 and they opened a case to have charges removed.

    By far the worst customer service in the mobile phone industry. I don’t think there’s anything you can get from a person that would actually be followed through and not one big lie. It may look cheaper, but don’t do it. Trust me do not do it. You will regret it financially and emotionally.

      All the support techs have been very helpful with my problem. I can't find my phone. I placed a text at 2:15 today and haven't been able to find it in my house. I am 78 yrs old and it is very difficult for me to do chats and try to explain my problem. I know this phone is in the house. I have not left the house today. My granddaughter said it was in the house she has me on her my find. I understand there is a way to do an alert call from my husband's phone. I am waiting for the call from a tech specialist to walk us through this procedure. Thank you for helping me with this problem. I just need to find my phone.

      The staff at the Oleander store in Wilmington, NC are not only the best but an example of courtesy that is unmatched in many businesses that deal directly with the public. Particular praise goes to Lynn, whose patience, dedication and overall commitment is in a word wonderful! And an amazing follow-up was executed by the supervisor Lena. I can't say enough about Miss Lynn. These extraordinary sales persons are to be commended in the highest order.

      Welcome back to the “new” AT&T. Let’s start with service: poor communication, long wait times, and multiple transfers with more wait times. Let’s talk quality. We got the fiber internet bundle with cell service. Cell service still sucks where I live with 1 bar here at my house, and the internet is drops more than a yo-yo at a competition. We just got the new service and I am already looking to find a carrier willing to split the difference to get back out of this craptastic deal we got. It doesn’t matter how much money you save if you can’t use the products. It's amazing to me that the company that once monopolized the phone market is now one of the worst in the industry. They spend more on advertising than they do on providing a quality service. I can’t believe I let them talk me into coming back. It will never happen again.

      I have been a customer since 2020 and since have had multiple issues with service. On every vacation I have taken- my service went out. From Louisiana go to Arkansas no service. Spend hours of my vacation trying to get service. I continue to call over the years and told you all that if this doesn’t get fixed I will switch providers. That was my notice of cancellation. I wouldn’t be calling to fix the problem again because I don’t get paid to fix the service which I am paying for.

      I cancelled service on the 2nd and just was on the phone waiting for management. I waited over an hour to speak to Kevin ** to tell me I need to give 30 days notice and it doesn’t matter if I didn’t have service, that these are AT&T’s service agreements. Problem is- I didn’t have steady service. He was suppose to put in a form to have someone higher up call me because why should I pay for a service I couldn’t even use? Attached is just some of the phone calls but in Jan is when I was on my trip to Arkansas and didn’t have service. They can easily go back in their records and see all the calls within the last year.

      I've been an AT&T customer for nearly 10 years and recently discovered I was paying for both individual phone insurance and a multi-device insurance plan at the same time. When the multi-device plan was added, I assumed it replaced the individual insurance policies. Instead, I was billed for both. After reviewing my account and removing the overlapping coverage, my monthly bill dropped from approximately $375 to $275.

      What frustrates me most isn't the mistake—mistakes happen. It's the complete lack of accountability afterward. Despite being a loyal customer for a decade, AT&T refused to provide even a small courtesy credit while I wait for billing corrections to take effect. No meaningful review, no explanation, and no effort to make things right. If you're an AT&T customer, I strongly recommend reviewing every line item on your bill. It may save you far more money than you expect. After 10 years of loyalty, I expected better customer service and billing transparency.

      If I could give 0 star I would! Anybody wants to get your wireless phone switch to AT&T. Do your a favor, don't switch! You will terribly regret, and then you will see big bills ahead of you, and you have no chance to change. And you create yourself a big trouble! For instance, they said the phone bill is monthly is $147.00/mon. When you will see 1st month's bill, it is $448.00; 2nd month is $280.00. 3nd month also $240.00. Finally 4th month $147.00+tax... They said will give you returned phone rebate up to $800.00, mail the cash back to you within 1 month. But after you mail your phone back, you will never receive the $800.00. They will spread $800.00 credits to 36 months... Locked you 3 years.

      Even though they told you the term is month to month based. Do not listen to their sales representatives promised the charges. All the $ numbers they showed you are bunch of lies! And as soon as you get their bills, the real bill amount will be at least 5 times more $ than they told you. And all the terms totally different than their presentation.

      AT&T service in Preston Hollow has been unacceptable due to a prolonged outage, lack of responsiveness, and failure to provide appropriate field support despite repeated requests. The absence of resolution and escalation has raised serious concerns regarding service reliability and customer care standards.

      Review: Internet service has been unavailable for 9 days with no confirmed resolution timeline. AT&T has refused to dispatch a technician, attributing the issue to external damage without onsite verification. There has been no visible repair activity in the area to support claims of active work. Customer service responses have been inconsistent and non-actionable, with no meaningful escalation or recovery efforts. This matter has been formally reported to the FCC due to the lack of resolution and accountability. Overall, this reflects a significant deficiency in service accountability and customer support for a major telecommunications provider.

      The service to start is subpar, the customer service is horrendous! Multiple voicemails & terrible wait times. I got a phone to try it out & returned it within 1 week because of the service quality & we were supposed to be all good. They charged me $147 & I’m still arguing with them even though I brought it back within the guidelines. The big issue is you have to call another number to verify you want to stop the service…. But you can’t get through!! SCAM! Avoid. Use Verizon.

      To start, I had been a customer of T-Mobile for 6 years and LOVED T-Mobile. I only switched to AT&T because the Best Buy Sales Rep there offered me a deal I could not refuse. He guaranteed me (I asked for confirmation several times) that AT&T would provide me with a Samsung Z Fold 7 for no charge if I traded in my T-Mobile 23 Ultra. That was the first lie. Turns out he lied pretty much about everything he told me. I have spent countless hours and days trying to get help from various AT&T Customer Service Reps and was escalated up through several levels of management.

      Finally, I reached a manager named Consuela, ID **, who assured me she was helping me with every single problem I had incurred by all the bad, deceitful, downright fraudulent info I had been given. But turns out Consuela also was a liar. She promised to complete and finalize all the credits she promised me as soon as my trade-in was received....gave me her phone number to contact her....but I've called her number at least 20 times and I get no answer. I was only able to get a voicemail for her a couple of times, and left her lengthy messages that she did not respond to. AT&T is the worst company and misleading, fraudulent company I have EVER dealt with.

      I'm 4 months in trying to get honest legislate help from them and very few people have helped. On top of that, the cell phone has major issues which started just 2 or 3 weeks after getting it. Now, I'm being told by Samsung that they need my phone for 10-12 days to repair it! I don't know anyone that can be without their phone that long!

      If 0 out of 5 stars was an option they would absolutely deserve it. I'm not even a customer, but I've recently gone through the absolute most appalling experience with two long term customers of AT&T. Customer service is absolutely clueless and just constantly shifting responsibility off on the "technical support" line, which is just an excuse to send you through hours of confusing and unhelpful robotic phone "assistance". The cost for service compared to the service you receive is disgusting to say the least. This company should be subject to a lawsuit for misrepresentation, overcharging for failing services, and the inability to assist customers in any sufficiency.

      Customer service representatives obviously do not receive training to do their jobs effectively and the company takes no pride in their many decades of providing service. This money hungry company should change their slogan to draining wallets and bank accounts for mediocre service sense we stopped caring long ago. Not even being a customer, this has been the most awful eye opening experience about these major tech companies and their greed.

      I transferred two phone lines from Verizon to AT&T under the $800.00 plan per line. I sent the required bill in from my previous provider which reflected that I transferred two lines. I received the Visa Gift card for one line and not the other line. I reached out to AT&T by email and telephone on several occasions to resolve this issue but received no response. I finally spoke with someone at the reward center on 2 June 2026 and they stated that they never received the a submission for my second line. I was also told that because it was after 60 days I would not be able to receive the Visa for my second line.

      I told the representatives that I had email traffic, and they could also see notes in the system that I was expressing my concerns about not receiving the second Visa card well within the sixty day requirement. The AT&T personnel could clearly see that I met the requirements and my repeated attempts to resolve this. I ask if I could talk to a manager or a supervisor in order for them to review what happen, because this was clearly an issue with AT&T personnel looking at the sixty day requirement and not the customers attempt to resolve the issue within that sixty day timeline.

      I have worked in senior positions in the Federal Government and upper level management for 47 years, and this level of customer service from any organization, would be unacceptable but especially one like AT&T. I don't know who will read this review, but customer service at AT&T is not what it use to be. AI assistants would probably provide better service at AT&T then what I received. My name is Carl B.

      If I could I would put zero stars! After over 20 years of being an AT&T customer I am disgusted by the way I was treated on the phone. They insist you pay your bill through auto pay but prefer you do it through your bank account instead of your credit card. They then added money to my bill and took the money by stating they changed their grandfathered plan and is now charging extra per line. This wasn’t notified to me until after they took my money.

      When I called and questioned this, they said they notified me through a text but then proceeded to read me a number that’s a land line so I obviously did not get any notification. When I questioned this they said there is nothing they can do since the money was charged. I asked for a credit towards only next bill and that I would deal with next month being that I know about this now. They refused to help me insisting they can not give any refunds or credits anymore to their customers. So basically they can just take my money but not help in figuring out a way to make right with loyal customers.

      I have stuck by AT&T for many years and have had many issues with them but I have never felt more disgusted in the fact that they didn’t care at all about their customers and their answers were almost robotic. I spoke to a manager who just kept repeating “We do not give any more credits to customers and this is the new bill. Nothing is wrong with what we did.” I’m not asking for a lot. I’m asking to just make right and refund what extra you took from me this month and I will deal with it next month. But apparently AT&T think that they are better than every other company. I will definitely be looking into other phone services now and it’s a shame how they treat their loyal customers. I guess they really don’t care.
