I decided to review AT&T because today marks the 3 month anniversary of the last time I was actually able to log in to my AT&T account online. Since February 3, 2019, I have been in contact with AT&T digital support, tech support, loyalty support and the store location, by last count, for a total of 19 phone calls, 412ish minutes of my life. (I finally stopped counting).
Since I cannot see my bill online, nor pay my bill online as I used to, I went to the store location to try and get some assistance, as there was a discrepancy in the total bill amount that I received in an email. The female employee at the store, blond hair, quite tan, was not helpful in the least. After giving her my ID, PIN, etc, she says she cannot give me a copy of my bill, due to the other phone lines included in the bill, that I cannot see that information. Um, what??? The phone package that I pay for, the three phone lines that include myself and my parents, whose phone numbers I know...but I can't see the bill???? This is among the most ridiculous things I've heard lately. I can pay the bill in the store, but I can't see the bill???
This was the cherry on top of the sundae of subpar service. I have been a customer since September 2003, and guess what? I just got my parents to switch to a different cell phone carrier this week, and in another week or so,when I have had my new phone for 90 days, I will be switching as well, so that my cell phone can be paid off by the other company. AT&T's only response to all the login issues has been "Yes, this is a known problem, but we don't have a date as to when it will be fixed" and of course the always included "Thanks for being the best part of AT&T".
Well of course I'm the best part, I've never had a late payment, etc, but this business can't fix a "known" problem, and expects that I will just keep paying a bill I can't see? No questions asked?
And to find out, that even with my ridiculously low data plan of 3G that I was paying for, for three cell phone lines, I could be paying the same price for unlimited data at other companies. And AT&T's new automated phone system, that even if and when they do call a customer back, you are put on hold, and told by the automated voice "your call will be answered in the order in which it was received." YO WHAT!!! I didn't call you, AT&T called me and you still put a customer on hold???? Just awful.
So Happy Anniversary to me:( read more
