Stop subscription
I would just like to stop my subscription, I was under the assumption that it was free, I have only downloaded 1 ringtone and have been charged for 2 months.

No action or concern on stolen phones
In February, 2008 my ATT/AT&T TILT phone was stolen. The HTC 8195 is pretty much the top of the line at ATT/AT&T with the IPHONE so the cost was above $400. Several weeks after buying it my phone was stolen- the perpetrator answered it several times the next day. This phone is serial number identified, has GPS etc but ATT washes their hands of it and actually facilitates the trafficking of these stolen phones. They refuse to insure these phones, have no program that they'll talk about to recover or catch those reactivating with a new SIM card and essentially laugh all the way to the bank. DO a search on ATT TILT on E-bay or Craigslist for a quick demo of what's going on. Racketeering? Yes Negligence? Yes Fraud? Perhaps... They certainly have the means and ability to do more, to do something, why don't they? Check with your provider to see if they use stolen phones as an income booster or take the interests of their customer into account...

Charges for lost cell phone
About a month ago, I lost my cell phone, and thought that I lost it in the house, well, to my surprise, a black woman had gotten a hold of it and was using it. The AT&T Company was billing us for the usage for the phone. After telling them for about 1000 times that the phone was not in my procession, they were still billing me!!! I asked them to track the number, but they wouldn’t. On a cell phone bill, you could always trace where a call came from. Well, they finally cut the phone off, but a few days after that, I tried the number, and somebody picked up, the same time the phone should’ve been OFF!!! I think that she knew somebody in the business, and had it turned on.

They lied to get contract
May 2008 - Purchase an air card from AT&T wireless.

May 2008 - Receive air card. Doesn't work. Call customer service, they can't figure it out. Went to local store. Turns out it just wasn't activated. Thanks for wasting my time (3 days) and gas with ignorance.

May 2008 - Told I can suspend my card and only pay $10/mo instead of the full $60/mo. Accept the contract under the guise that this is true, because I travel overseas quite a bit.

June 2008 - Suspend card, travel overseas.

August 2008 - Did not receive $100 rebate for air card. Turns out, you can't receive the rebate while the card is suspended. Why does that rule exist? That's ok, I'll unsuspend later when back in the states, then get the rebate (instead of paying the $60/mo to have it unsuspended). Trying to save money like everyone else.

Late August 2008: Check bill. Realize I did not get the $10/mo suspension deal. Still charged $60/mo. Call to find out the problem. Keep getting disconnected when transferred. So, try to e-mail from my AT&T account. Turns out, you can't just send an email, but you go through an entire ordeal of identifying the subject of the email, etc. When you are done, it does not let you email, it says that your problem will be solved better if you call. 2 hours later, I finally get through on the phone.

Same day, the call: They tell me that I cannot get a reduction in price for a suspension. Apparently, I was either blatantly lied to in May in order for me to accept the original contract, or the representative had no idea what he was talking about. Either way, it was what I was told. Yet, they will not refund me the money I was told I would save. So, I ask to cancel. Well, then they charge me $125 for early termination. Then, the lady insinuates that I accepted the contract and that just because I was told one thing, doesn't mean I'm not at fault. So, I cancelled anyway and wish to fight it.

Logical Point: I would not have purchased the product if I couldn't save money suspending it. I am only in the states 3 months out of the year. I was told that suspending it would drop the price to $10/mo, so I accepted the contract. Either through ignorance or malice, I was told something that was not true, and I have to pay for it. Plus, I don't get a rebate. Total money that I should not have paid, but have to anyway because a representative told me wrong info:

- $50 for one pay period

- $50 for another pay period

- $100 rebate

- $125 cancellation fee

Total: $325 that AT&T steals from me all because they told me one thing that wasn't true.

How do you fight this? I have no record of the original conversation. Guess the only way is to post this wherever I can.

Money scam
I have had the worst service with AT&T I moved here In January and ordered service from At&t; Every month my bill has been around $800.00 !!! When I call they always want to recredit and give credits but each month it's back the same and they never credit the right amount from bill . I have been on the phone for hours each time and they promise it's fixed and again the next month the same thing. When you ask for the CEO or the complant office they send you to Asia!!! The killer is I have the budget plan so my bill should be around $100.00

each month. When I stopped the wireless service they charged me for early discontinuation. What can we do!!

They also say I have all bills bundled and I stopped that and the wireless service months ago.. So why this month $772.00??!!

Bad service
My nextdoor neighbor has DSL from AT&T but AT&T refuses to hook me up to the same system. The system next door is 1/2 mile from the terminal box whereas my terminal box is 2-1/2 miles away. AT&T people have explained to me that my telephone service is compromised because my phone connection is too far of a distance to that terminal box. There are many, many breaks and repairs in those lines and AT&T staff have repeatedly asked AT&T to supply DSL to the rest of us in the community. I am disgusted with AT&T and do not go to a competitor because that new entity would use the existing AT&T line. I am unable to rent the mobile home on my property because no one wants dial-up for the Internet.

I would like nothing more than to never see the logo of AT&T again! I do have to have a land line though and am trapped by the poor service and attitudes of AT&T.

Slow check time
I was out of cable for 42 days. I had numerous techs., managers, and my local energy company out several times. I was stood up on several different accounts by techs. and dispatch to come out to my house to fix my problems. I was told that they could not fix the problem and that I needed to close my account. SO I DID. I got a call from att 1 week later and was told that the problem was fixed. So I asked what was the problem: some teenage boy found a TV by the dumpster and hooked it up. That was killing my signal. So, they led me on and told me that they would give me my package back at a much cheaper rate. I was paying $99 cable, $30 Internet, $50 for my phone. They took it down to $79 cable, $20 Internet, $40 phone. $40 dollar saving/ month, first month free and a discount of an extra $20 for the first six months. That was all fine and dandy. So I went for it. Just like any other person would. Well my problem is that I canceled my account with a bill for $127.00 and I was told that I would have a total of $420.00 credits. For being stood up, taking 4 days off work (through out) the 42 days and all other things horrible that at&t causes US. Well this was on 7/9/08. I was told that I would have a CHECK for $293 after my final bill was cut in 7-10 days. I called back on 7/21 to find out when my check would be available. They told me that the check would cut with the final bill...which would cut on my NEXT billing cycle (not 7-10 days) on 8/1/08. I asked why I was told it would be 7-10 days and they told me the CUST. SERV. REP. worded it wrong. I said fine and called back 8/1/08 and the check was still not posted. I asked what was taking so long and they said that it takes a few days to post to the account. Then I was told that it was not in fact a $293 check to be mailed to me. That it was a total of $293 in credits... MINUS the $127. so a check would be mailed for like $108. I was mad and asked to speak with a manager and was told one would have to call me in 24-48 hours to solve my problem. I called back a week later and asked to talk to a manager and was told one was not going to call because there was nothing that could be done. Their exact words were...WE GAVE YOU ENOUGH! A MANAGER IS NOT GOING TO GIVE ME $420. WHY WOULD THEY GIVE ME THAT MUCH FOR ME TO SIT AT HOME AND DO NOTHING WHILE A TECHNICIAN DID ALL THE WORK. I asked to speak with a manager to have that called reviewed and was told one would call me in 24-48 hours. I called back a week later w/ my attorney on the phone. (which was my sister). Need less to say I got the manager. I opened with why did I wait 2 weeks to talk to a manager that was to call me in 24-48 hours. She said that there was no note to call... either time! So I went through the whole story and asked for the tapes to be reviewed. She said my check was in "processing" and it would be here in 7-10 business days. It is now 8/29/08 and still no check. I really do have an attorney now, the tapes will be subpoenaed to our court date on 10/17. That is my night mare with at&t that has been going on for almost 4 months now.

SO DROP AT&T NOW> BEFORE YOU GET SCREWED!!!

Digital cable at its worst
Where do I start with At&t's completely bogus attempt at offering digital cable. Firstly it is not even offered by At&t it's a company called Dish net. So you spend half your time arguing and helping these to moronic companies communicate to each other. For example my At&t bill had one price and when i called the dish net the, had a completely differnt price. So I spent 6 hours going back and forth between these two companies to help them communicate to eachother. This is only half the story, I didn't even mention the 3rd party technician who don't even work for Dish net and the company dosn't even know who they are untill they do something wrong.

The end of the story. Don't be fouled by some stupid bundle advert from At&t, they don't know or even have cable tv services. Hey why don't you just stick to what you know At&t?

...currently still on hold.

Overcharged for phone services
Have been signed up for Lifeline landline phone rate as I make under $22, 000 as stated in AT&T's guidelines. Including tax and a request to not be listed in phonebook, rate was $7-something. I have never called long distance, never answered my phone unless waiting for a delivery, and never called anyone as I'm hearing impaired and prefer to e-mail. A few months ago started receiving monthly charges of $15.30. AT&T is supposed to be contactable by email but I tried over and over again to try to find out why I was being charged extra. No answer from them whatsoever. I was tired of going around and around with no luck so decided if I had to call them, I would cancel my phone service. But then again I went round and round for minutes because the automated phone answering service could not understand what I wanted. When I finally reached a live human I was told that this charge was for long distance charges. I told him I have never called long distance and did not understand why these charges were added on. I was mad at the runaround I got and the waste of time so said I wanted to cancel the phone service. First I asked if I could get a refund for these unordered charges but was refused. So - why was I charged long distance when I did not request it and was not charged this at first? Why is it so difficult to get hold of someone and get a reply by email when one has a problem or question that is not answerable in the FAQS? Why are the automated phone systems they have so primitive and such a waste of the customer's time? Over and over I had to re-enter my phone number, several times. This is an example of a huge company being very out of touch with a customer who has a question about their bill!
