The hubby and I have been meaning to upgrade our phones for a while... and with the new iPhone 13 out, we decided it was finally time. A friend showed me his and the picture clarity was VERY impressive. I happened to see an ad stating that you could get (up to) $800 off if you trade in your old phone, so I called AT&T Mililani to inquire about details. Whoever I spoke to on the phone was informative and answered all my questions, so the hubby and I made an appointment to go in to change our current plan and to order new phones.
We were warmly greeted by Sheila who took great care of us. It was a loooong process - to order two phones and to change our current plan (which is over a decade old!) I was there for about 3.5 hours! I was switched over to a "First Responder" plan (and scored a FREE Apple watch!) and then a family plan (another 3 lines) was branched out under me. It was definitely a process - of course Sheila did ALLLLLLL of the work while I sat there waiting to answer questions or verify information. The hubby and I ended up trading in our 11 Pro Max to receive 13 Pro Max phones, I got the watch, we are saving money by switching plans, and we are getting more perks with the new plan! It was a long process but well worth it.
I reeeeeaally appreciate Sheila for explaining everything in detail to me. I ask A LOT of questions and am always hesitant to switch things because I'm concerned that something will mess up and we'll get stuck with something we don't want... or that things will get more expensive. Definitely NOT the case. Sheila asked me several times if I had questions and made sure I was comfortable with the changes that she was making. She took each process step by step (making a first responder account for me, family account, ordering watch, my phone, hubby's phone, etc)
At one point when she was in the back to get something, the manager came over to speak with me to ask how things were going and if I was satisfied with everything thus far - he knew it was taking quite a bit of time for everything. I believe his name is Ray. He was very kind as well - and I told him that the customer service was exceptional and that Sheila was definitely an asset to the company. I literally had nothing bad to say about her because she was on top of her game and so thorough and patient. He did mention along the lines of AT&T Mililani ranking the highest with customer service (I forgot which region) but I did respond and say "I can see why!" I received his business card (and Sheila's) in case I needed anything else.
I did visit a few more times after the initial visit (I had to turn in hubby's old phone, I had to switch my watch because I wanted a smaller size and different color - I'm indecisive!), and I had to turn in my old phone. Sheila helped all of those times and was patient, friendly, thorough, and fun to talk to! It didn't feel long and miserable while everything was being done... it was actually pleasant and enjoyable because Sheila is pleasant and enjoyable!
Sheila recommends to check out plans every 6 months because things are constantly changing and there could be a better plan available which can save you money... having our old plan for over a decade I can only imagine what we missed out on. I know better now, and I will keep up with checking out the plans more frequently from now on.
If you need a new phone/watch/tablet/plan etc... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to go to AT&T Mililani and ask for SHEILA! You will NOT regret it, she goes above and beyond and is extremely EXCEPTIONAL! Thank you so much Sheila! We appreciate you and all your help SO MUCH! read more
