  • customer DISservice

    Mar 02 '09
    Pros: Service AREA is good
    Cons: EVERYTHING about customer service

    Summary: I've been with AT&T for over 10 years, before they were Cingular and then back to AT&T.  Never had any problems with customer service in the past.  Now, however, it's a whole different story.  When it was time for me to get another ... read more

  • WORST Customer service EVER!

    Jul 25 '08
    Pros: NOTHING. Oh wait they haven't resorted to outsourcing their CS to India
    Cons: Sucks Sucks Sucks...NEVER BUY FROM THIS BIG HUGE MAMMOTH OF A COMPANY.

    Summary: For the largest telecom in the USA AT&T is horrible. If you like... 1. Waiting on the phone for a representative to fix a problem that AT&T caused for over AN HOUR. 2. Being transferred a million times and then getting disconnected just to start ALL ... read more

  • 65 mins of my life on customer service on a Monday morning

    Oct 23 '06
    Pros: I don't know. I guess it worked when I had it.
    Cons: Customer service is horrible. Absolutely horrible.

    Summary: The office hours are ridiculous. Monday through Friday, 7-5pm? That’s when everyone goes to work! So, I have to purposefully wake up extra early and make time for this call. I was transferred five times, a sign that tells you they are so ... read more

  • The "Frankenstein" of customer service

    Oct 20 '05
    Pros: No problems as long as you don't have to deal with customer service.
    Cons: The worst, most awful customer service in the history of American businesses.

    Summary: I have seen BAD customer service in my time but AT&T customer service defies even description. I am working in Iraq and bought an AT&T Global PrePaid card to stay in touch with family and friends back home. I used it for the better part of a year with ... read more

    Pros: Family plan pricing
    Cons: Customer service is the worst; see 2/05 Consumer Reports

  • AT&T - Awful, Terrible &Torture

    Nov 15 '04
    Pros: haven't found one since I started with them
    Cons: They don't care.

    Summary: Briefly - they suck so bad there is no word in the English language for them As I write this I am in the middle of a lengthy battle that began in September (August, really, that is when I asked for a service). My son is in college, I have 5 phones ... read more

  • Nightmare of Harassment from AT&T

    Apr 30 '04
    Pros: Service is so bad, they make everyone else look good.
    Cons: Zero respect for customers, eternal waits onhold, confused and incompetent staff - cannot list all.

    Summary: AT&T gave me the most appalling customer service I've received from any company in the world. I had AT&T simply because they've always been my phone company and it was too much trouble to try anyone else. I had no problem with them until recently. I took ... read more

  • Dealing with the DEVILS!

    Mar 18 '04
    Pros: Coverage area
    Cons: Everything else, mostly CUSTOMER SERVICE

    Summary: We have been loyal customers for 12 years, before AT&T took over Cellular One, but no more!!! We have never had to contact customer service until last year. As long as they're taking your money and you have no problems, they're helpful. When you have a ... read more

  • How to lose a customer of fourteen-years

    Feb 03 '04
    Pros: out of all the cellular carriers available, AT&T is one of them
    Cons: if anything goes wrong with billing, you'll pay h*ll to get it fixed

    Summary: I dumped AT&T as my wireless carrier after a marathon of BS. I was a fourteen-year customer of CellularOne, which AT&T acquired in September '03. For five months, AT&T did nothing but screw me, and finally cost me a job interview. Long story short: ... read more

    Nov 10 '03
    Pros: Prices?
    Cons: EVERYTHING

    Summary: I ordered a phone online on 11/4, with the response that "Your order will ship in 3-5 days". They hit my debit card 2x for $1 each time. I got an email from them on 11/8 stating: "Thank you for choosing AT&T Wireless as your wireless communication ... read more
