Awful company
My complaint is for At&t landline. I moved to a new office and I told At&t about my move weeks before and made an appointment on a specific date to come and trasfer my business line to my new office. I told them that there is another line in that office and that they were going to transfer my 3 business lines to that same place. My appointment was in the morning that day buy no one showed up until around 7 pm. Then the At&t teck basicaly saw the line and instead adding the three lines from by business he said that its to late and I cant do all this work right now and just left. Now I called and they said they cant send any one out until next week. So now I have all my business lines cut off and my customers cannot reach me. I own a trucking company and I have over a hundred customers from all over the U.S. I am losing thousands of dollars every day for the last four days now. I call them every day and they finally said will send a teck out to turn on the main line and that was suppose to be yesterday. No One has showed up yet.

Holding My Money as "Pre-Authorized" Amount
I paid my bill on line, and when I looked at my on-line bank statement the next day, I see they are holding double the amount of the total bill - one entry is described as a "pre-authorized" amount. I called AT&T and after 45 mintues talking with 2 customer service and 1 accounting rep I was basically told this is a figment of my imagination - they aren't holding my money and only charged me once for the bill. The bank verified it, and so I filed a complaint with the BBB. Then I get bombarded with "anonymous" calls to my cell phone, from AT&T. I don't answer anonymous calls from anyone so they responded back to the BBB that they determined my complaint was unfounded, they didn't hold on to this money twice, and I wouldn't return their calls when they tried to call me and lie to me also. I sent the BBB printed copies of my bank statements, showing they held on to the money for 4 days with the complaint so I have proof. If I was 4 days late in paying my bill they'd shut down my services. Why companies are allowed to do this and call it "pre-authorized" amounts is beyond me, the gas stations do it too. They immediately charge your card for $75, even if you only get $20 in gas. They keep it until their system reconciles with your bank and you get charged the actual amount of merchandise you purchased. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General on AT&T. Why should they be allowed to attach my account for double what I authorize?

Overcharged
Since I already had AT&T phone and internet service, I canceled my cable service and switched to AT&T Uverse to take advantage of their U200 package for $99.00 per month plus a $100.00 rebate. I have received 2 "welcome" letters that say "Getting your reward is EASY! But none of the websites listed are accessible or have the wrong content... the only one that worked was lots of complaints for this very reason. When I called, their rep said they reactivated my (new)account, I got another welcome letter and instructions, none of which worked. Also, my bill amounted to $130.00. This seems like false advertising, don't you agree?

AT&T service switch scam
I am a day manager at a locally owned franchise. I was visited by two AT&T representatives who claimed they were investigating reports of over charged accounts in the area, and that all they needed was the business phone number and a manager's 'okay' to make the 'fixes'.
However, they were repeatedly told that I did not have the authority to make any changes to the store's accounts: Once by my coworker who greeted them, and then multiple times by me while they were trying to get information and coerce me into thinking otherwise. They even tried to get the phone numbers of the owner's other franchises out of me, apparently trying to switch them all at once.
Even once I contacted the owner and was told that she no longer had a contract with AT&T and there was no reason for them to be there, they still tried to push on, insisting that I was on some 'list' (although they never once referred to anyone by name, or even used a 'he' or 'she') and I just needed to speak with someone on their cell phone to sort things out.
I was disgusted that they tried to deceive me because they thought I wouldn't know any better, and I am astounded that they would continue trying scam the information needed to make the switch from someone who they knew had no authority to make that decision.
I will keep this in mind if I ever decide to switch my residential service or am in a position to choose a provider for a business; I do not like the thought of ever having to deal with this type of business practice again.

Ridiculous company
I placed an International phone call to France not knowing what the rates were (they don't provide you with them when you sign up with them). It turns out it was a huge mistake, since the bill turned out to be $223.48 for 37 mintues (or $6.04/min ). Are we still in 1950? Ridiculous and simply organized theft and monopoly.

Billing practices
There are two surcharges on the phone bill which support other peoples phone service. One is the Il. Relay Svc and Equipment Charge and the other is the Federal Universal Fee. I am Forced to pay these because I have phone service. It should be my choice if I want to donate to assist others with getting service. This billing practice should be stopped.

Fraudulent company
My business consist of 5 locations with internet in each location. I was sending e mails to my customers thru AT&T web mail, as this is the web mail I was given at the time from support, I asked them what is the situation in sending e mail to my customers who have purchased from me, and they indicated, there was no problem.
About a month ago a person by the name of Tom from the e mail abuse department contacted me, and we discussed the situation, and I informed him that I remove all the customers that do not want to be in my list and he looked at my web site, and made some suggestions which I adhered to.
Then the other day my internet was cut off, I was told to call a # 919 3198265 and they would deal with it.
There is a voice mail which says they will return the call in 24 hours, so I had to send my staff home and the next day I came in I still did not have internet.
So I sent them home again.
Eventualy 20 hours later a lady by the name of Vivian returned my call, and informed me I am abusing the emails, so I asked for recomendations, she had no suggestions. So I did my own research and I went to sighn up for GKG.NET and they where great in informing me, what my limits in e mailing my customers.
Meanwhile my manager decided in the Charleston to send e mails to her customers, promoting the stores web site. and her internet was cut of immediately, She called support and they said they need to call the same # 9193198265 after 22 hours they returned my call.
I asked Vivian at the abuse department why was she not warned, and spoken to, and she simply said I do not have to.
I wanted to talk to someone above her, and she simply said, I am the only person you can talk to and I will decide.
So the abuse department can do what ever they want, and they will restore internet when they feel like it.
Instead of helping the small business and directing them to other copany's like GKG, they would rather leave you without internet for 24 hours.
It would be great for someone at AT&T to be aware what is going on, they need to realize we are the customer.

Disgruntled AT&T Premier customer
July 15, 2009
Customer Service and Knowledge of Prodct
I have been an AT&T customer for about ten years now. I put in a pre-order for the new iPhone 3GS on the AT&T Premier website through my dad's corporate website. I understood would have a backlog. I didn't mind the backlog because that meant I would get the new phone without the hassle of going to the AT&T or Apple store. What I don't understand is the statement that was put on my order that I would receive the phone in 7-14 days when that is not even close to the truth.
I put my order in on June 15, 2009. The phone was not to be released until June 19, 2009. I called on June 25, 2009 to find out the order of the status. I just wanted to know if I could expect the phone in the next two months. I wanted to just get an idea of the backlog time. After being on hold for almost an hour, I spoke to a representative on the Premier line and they put me on hold to speak to a supervisor. I was on hold for over an hour and I gave up at that point. This was in the evening. I found out the next day that the line closes at 9PM or at least according to representative that I spoke to but there was no indication on the hold music or recording that representatives where no longer available after 9PM.
So the next day, June 26, 2009. I got on the phone after being on hold for about a half hour I spoke to the representative William. He told me that my order was "processed" on June 25, 2009. Now this made no sense to me since my order was put in on June 15th and the phone came out on June 19th. He got his supervisor on the phone immediately, Latasha Barnes. She told me that the 7-14 day statement that is made when you put your order in for the phone, is from the day the phone was released. According to her, I should expect my phone by July 3, 2009.
July 3, 2009 came and went and I really couldn't find time in my day to aggrevate myself and spend hours on the phone.
Finally on July 17, 2009 I made the dreaded call to AT&T Premier to find our the status of my phone. I immediately asked for Latasha Barnes the supervisor I spoke to on June 26th. He told me that he couldn't get to her because she's in a different office. I was shocked because I thought in 2009 there are company directories and office extensions. He did tell me that he could get me another supervisor so I was put on hold. AGAIN. After 45 minutes I picked up another phone and called the AT&T Premier line again. I got the representative Hooper Mills. He told me that he would take my number and have a supervisor call me. I am still waiting for that call. The other line I had on hold waiting for a supervisor went dead after an hour and half. So I called the AT&T Premier line again. This time I spone to Angela Alexander. I immediately told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor so I could get back in the queue. She said she had to look up my status order. She looked it up and told me that my order for the iPhone 3GS had been canceled!!!
So that's where I am right now. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation with AT&T Premier? I feel like a prisoner to them thright now after waiting a month for a phone I could have gotten weeks ago at a store.

U Verse Returned equipment
I have also experienced issue with AT&T, specifically/ U-verse/AT&T Customer Service / AT&T significant errors and their seeming inability to correct obvious problems.
Why I returned the U-verse equipment is another whole compliant. But in a nut shell: the scheduled installers didn’t show up and didn’t call (3 times) and then the quality of the product was unbearable to the point where we could no longer watch any TV due to the ‘freezing”. But I’m over that now, and happily back to another cable service.
My current complaint based on AT&T’s total incompetence that has impacted my credit rating. I returned the U-verse equipment as instructed, on time and in perfect condition. A couple months later I received the first bill for the equipment asking if I had overlooked it because it was past due. I called AT&T and their representative tells me that it was a mistake and don’t know why we got the invoice and that they would take care of it. A few weeks later I receive the next invoice and a dunning letter from AT&T. This time I called and they said that they could see the equipment was returned in good condition but they had no ability to correct the amounts owed because ‘another department’ was responsible for that: and oh yes, that department does not take phone calls from customer so I couldn’t talk to them. They wouldn’t even give me a name who I could address a letter.
They did remind me how high their customer service ratings were from JD POWERS (yeah right) and inferred I was alone in having any issue whatsoever with AT&T customer service and their total inability to help me.
Now I have a collection agency calling me and trying to collect the money. I can’t believe that they can just turn this over to a collection agency when their own employees have received the equipment and I have that in writing!!!
It is now impacting my credit rating!!. AT&T is totally incompetent and their customer service is shameful. It is almost like they are intentionally trying to harass and irate me. I would like to see this giant monopoly corporation be more responsible and accountable for their actions.
I’m cancelling my AT&T land line and warning everyone I know….
