Coverage is good but lacking in customer support. Got a deal on two iPhone 11's (Buy One & Get One Free) they didn't value the second device, so at the end of the day we had to pay them off. Thankfully T-Mobile was willing to buy out both phones (Over $1000) and give us two additional phones for half off. We are disappointed after being long time customers, but definitely not looking back.

Nightmare. My sister was invited to look into a deal at a store, and the representative blatantly lied to her and was charged well over the promised price, even before any agreements were made. On top of that the customer service has hung up, disconnected, ignored, and refused to help in anyway. They then got charged on services they didn't use, didn't even have phones yet. They had to cancel their card to stop the charges. AT&T has yet to help in any way. This is not only worthless customer service, it is fraud! I have never seen or experienced this level of ineptitude in a company. It is laughable, baffling, and embarrassing, that a company of such size, has such a high level of incompetence and useless customer service. I will never use or recommend this service to anyone.

Crappy phones! Incompetent technical support! Ridiculous troubleshooting protocols! My mom had a Doro AT&T phone for 2 years and it started failing. Understandable. I Bought a new Doro AT&T phone with new sim and it started locking up within days, several times, requiring a battery pull to reset. Finally call tech support and they spend hours wiping the phone, wiping the sim, then telling me to wait for days for a new AT&T sim or go to Target and buy a new AT&T sim. I go to Target and get a new AT&T sim. Call tech support back and it fails just the same. They say go to Target buy a TMobile sim. Supervisor PLEASE! He reads from the screen and says that is the protocol. Crazy! We have been using AT&T sim on the old phone, the new phone as well as having AT&T service with myself, my wife, and kids with no issues. I am driving all over town, buying new sim after new sim so they don't have to replace a 45 day old $50 phone. I haven't even paid the bill on the phone yet and cant get a replacement. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid! Imagine your 83 year old mom trying to get her phone to work.

AT&T general customer service through their 800 number is terrible. People are not well trained. The story is long, but last fall, family decided to move over from Verizon for the hope of better signals. AT&T had a promotion for $700 trade in on new iPhone with new service ported from another carrier. Attempted to do this online but needed to call customer service. It took over 2 hours to complete. The phones came inline but the directions on how to send pin the trade were WRONG. The result is I lost the $700. No trade allowance. Argued for weeks but no consideration at all. Shame on me I guess. If I could, I would pay the full cost and cancel service today. BTW, signal is better in some ways, worse in others. Have to try what works for you.

AT&T have been our cell phone provider since 2010. We especially like the international capabilities as we travel a lot out of the US. They could, however be a bit cheaper.

Don't think much of them, was a customer for 15 years, even before they became Verizon. Came time for a new phone and the only good deals were for NEW customers and adding a line. They don't value their old time loyal customers. Sorry I became a new customer of ATT.

AT&T has great connection in almost every area I've been too. The plans that they offer are a bit expensive and the data plans are if you're not already signed up under an unlimited plan. Customer service is great.

AT&T is a great cell service company. My only hesitation is their pricing in regard to international plans. For someone who loves to travel and is always abroad, their plans are extremely expensive and if I am paying large sums of money a month, I would expect better coverage and more data.

charge way to much when you only turn it on when you go out someplace-I am a senior and have a landline-used to use u-verse but got rid of that-want to get rid of this wireless to but owe on a phone so have to pay over 50$ a month for .6 gb of use plus $25 for the phone-ridiculous and they won't just charge for the phone if you switch, they keep the phone on until you are paid off-had this with 8 phones on it a few years ago and my family decided to switch to verizon and they said they would take care of the payoff of the phones because they needed to switch to their phone, didn't happen, cost me over $3000 due to AT&T wouldn't even ck it out and kept their phones live until I paid off the phones and was threatened every month with lawsuit even though I was paying the bill-I hate this company so beware.

I was called by AT&T a few months back and offered a free phone based on my years with the company. I thought this was a nice offer, the cost of $15 was added and then credited to my account every month. The total price was over $400 for the new phone. In investigating other service providers, I called AT&T to ask how I could use another provider at a lower rate and was told that I had to pay off the balance of the new phone. That connects me to AT&T for another three years if I could not pay off the phone in one lump sum. So, I either have to pay off the " free phone" or continue with AT&T. I was not told this during the initial phone call. I think this is totally wrong. All the parameters of the " free deal" should be explained at the onset.

After buying a phone from them a month later I called the call center over a question on my bill at which time I was informed that I qualified for a free phone just like the one I just bought and after many questions I finally agreed and was told all I had to pay was sales tax upfront so I did. A month later the bill comes and they are charging me for the phone. I called the call center and they said that they could see in the notes that I had been told that but that was incorrect , I didn’t qualify and now I owed for the phone because they couldn’t get around the BOGO rules my arguing with them went on for a time but needless to say I am no longer a customer and the day I went in to pay my bill I started talking to someone who couldn’t believe it because that’s what happened to them too . How is that even legal? I refuse to deal with a dishonest sneaky company

My bill is never the same! The service is ok and I don't have many dropped calls but the customer service isn't great. They lack empathy and the emotional intelligence to cater to a call or complaint. Customer who call are frustrated or confused or looking for clarification and instead of bouncing them person to person they need to do a better job of addressing issue and de-escalating.

I've been with AT&T for 48 years. Many years ago, it was your only choice so you didn't know if they were good or not. Now they have competition, and each year their ratings have gone down. Verizon is now the #1 choice of most. When I call AT&T, I spend hours trying to get answers to my concerns about my cell phone to no avail. The employees are not trained are not customer service relations employees. They are there to just answer the phone and hope they can make you happy. AT&T owns Asurion which is another issue! I've had to deal with Asurion over two phone situations and each time have to send back the first phone I received. You would think AT&T would have given me a new phone when my I-phone 6s exploded in our pickup. Scared me to death and luckily I wasn't talking on it at the time. It cost me $240 after insurance, cover for screen for both phones, and paying to have data on both phones downloaded. This is the second $240! They are unable to download your data to a wireless computer. I plan on checking to see if I can keep my phone number and switch to Verizon. I've had it!

I live in a very populated area outside of Baltimore MD. My wife and I pay over $300 a month for our AT&T service. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. There is no reason that for the money we pay each month that I cannot make a phone call anywhere in my house. No signal...ever. As I said, we live in a densely populated area. I Have to physically leave my house to get signal. It’s not just my house. The signal drops in various different places throughout the county/state. Do yourself a favor and go with any other company out there. I can only hope other service providers are even just a little bit better. Looking forward to trying Verizon and (hopefully) being able to make a call from the comfort of my home.

They have become more insulated from customers and good customer service. When they dropped my call...on their network...they did not try to contact me. When I was billed for something they were supposed to have canceled they told me it was my responsibility to contact them after they dropped my call on THEIR network. That tells me they could care about me, my phone service and good customer service. I pointed out they are more expensive, their service is often spotty and I have been with them for decades...that is what you get for staying with a Company.

They have store fronts that are fairly close by and most employees are pleasant, but I've been with the company many years and yet to have a consistent contact person. Every time I call or go in to try and lower my bill, the new service or contract sounds great, but I always end up spending more in the long run.

They are terrible. Extremely expensive, I pay 150+ for one line, and in the city I live in (Lake Worth, FL) there is never any service or data. It is a ghost town, and I have used their app "mark my spot" numerous times, in fact I have had several people use that app for almost a year now in the same location, and they claim it is always "fixed" but it never is. We have to drive a town over to play Pokemon Go. I will switch as soon as my $1,900 phone is paid off.

Internet and U-Verse installation when we moved was a nightmare. I also didn't get refunded for returning equipment for months. Most recently, AT&T changed the date of my auto pay for my wireless account, which means I'm now paying two weeks earlier in the month AND my phone rebate doesn't hit before my payment so this month my bill was about $30 more. They said I can keep the previous auto pay date if I change from a credit card to a debit card. Give me a break! I wish I could completely leave AT&T but that would cost even more money and would take a lot of work. We'll see - I still may do it.

I have been with Att since 2009. I have purchased two phones every year since then. I’ve never missed a payment. I’ve only had iPhones and in 2013 I added two iPads. When attnext began, I jumped onboard, and have always had good luck. Then the iPhone X debuted and I still had my 2 iPhone 7s so I upgraded early and paid the fees associated. Herein lies the rub; my iPhones x arrived with an old iOS but I had already upgraded my iPhones 7. Unbeknownst to me, this created a situation unfavorable for completing a final backup of my old phone, which would be photos videos and messages to go to my new phone. Several phone calls were placed to att letting them know of the problem, and I even considered giving up and returning the phone to the store. I went to Att in Woburn Ma and the front door of the store was locked. So I went in through the sevond entrance. The manager asked me why I was there and when I explained, he told me he didn’t think he could help. I questioned that having had returned phones exclusively in store. He told me he couldn’t find any phones to be returned under my account. Funny thing- he never took my name, number, or my device. I left, calling Att on my way- explaining that I tried to return the phone, but noticed that I still hadn’t completed back up. This was my third communication with Att- I explained that I was worried I was losing important data and the rep said don’t worry- it doesn’t matter if you’re a little late- but check that both iOS are the same. Three more tries and two more calls to att with assurances from reps and supervisors that my data was more important than a deadline and finally I got it all backed up. I called att and explained that I still didn’t want to be charged- they said you haven’t been charged, but you need to get the phone back- the rep made a note in my account and told me to go back to att speak to a manager at the store and that her note would recommend to him that he should accept the phone. He couldn’t. He did print a return label for me, so I went home called att, explained that, and promised to ship the next day. I offered to call back with s tracking number, and was told absolutely to do that. I did. I called back two weeks later when I was charged for the phone I no longer had. The rep said they will absolutely remove that charge when they process the return- it’s the holidays so it shouldn’t be a problem, but it might take a bit. Yesterday, I got a call from my mom, who will also be a former att customer soon and was told that a package had shipped to her house??? I opened the package, and there was my phone, with a sticker slapped on it, and a note- it said this phone is yours to keep. You missed the deadline for returns. Thanks for being a loyal att customer. I called and spoke with Juan: I stated that I was upset about the above and that I felt att deserved one last opportunity to make things right for a good customer. Juan said he could help, then said he could make it “real simple for” me - “you missed the deadline. It doesn’t matter why or who you spoke with. “ I asked for his supervisor, he said one moment, and I was connected with McKenzie- she was a rep in account cancellations. I asked again for a supervisor. M said she could help. When she couldn’t I asked for the supervisor again and she said no supervisor at 5pm est was available and that”this was the last word. “ I tweeted @AttCares at 7:33 last night anc they replied saying the would try to make things right and I’ve never heard another word. I am very disappointed.

This company has the worst customer service. I paid my bill online and chatted with one of their representatives online. The agent told me everything was fine but two days later my service was disconnected. The agent I spoke with added another payment to be due on the same day that I had already made a payment. I chatted again online and was told that my chat with the previous agent did not exist and they could not help me as the added scheduled payment was not made. I explained that if I intended to make two payments in one day, I would have paid both at one time. They refused to assist further and I am currently looking for another cell phone carrier that I can trust. I was with this company for over 8 years. Their customer service will be the cause of this company losing customers.

Given a QUOTE over phone, sign up, then bill is $30 more than quoted plan price. I called AT&T on December 10 to get a quote for 5 mobile lines. (I hope this call was recorded) I was QUOTED a price of $158 plus tax and no activation fees for the Unlimited Choice Plan for 5 lines with AutoPay discount and NYC Dept. of Education discount. The agent was courteous and professional. She put me on hold and asked her manager to verify the discounts. I double and triple checked the final price with her. $158 plus taxes and no activation fees. I agree then and there to sign up. I get the SIM cards in the mail and activated 5 phones today. I go online and see a price of $185 plus taxes! Also, $323 in activation fees!! I online chat with James, who was very nice. He puts me through to manager, Edessa. She was extremely rude and dismissive. I am never one to complain. I was QUOTED a price on the phone and then told no a week later. Edessa refused to honor the quote. She was discourteous and very unprofessional. How does a company give a quote then rescind? I will have to cancel my newly activated service due to this and poor customer service.

Several evenings ago, the service on my phone began to randomly go from full bars to zero then to "no service". For approximately 30 minutes, it did this every 30 seconds or so. After about 30 minutes of come and go service, it went to "no service" again and stayed that way for approximately 12 hours before service was finally restored. I was unable to get any help from ATT Cares and it took days for an actual person to message me back about the issue, which is obviously now resolved so that message was pointless.
