I have paid for insurance on my phone.
Lets start with that.
My phone fell off the magnetic mechanism on my dashboard while I was making a left turn. I had my window open, so it slid across my dashboard, and went right out the window. The person behind me ran it over.
No worries right? I have been paying for insurance on this new phone for over 6 months.
Yet, when I put in a claim, they charged my account for every drop that they could.
I went to the AT&T store on Hennepin and Lake, in Minneapolis, and the first time they told me it would be replaced the same day. The next time I went to the store, they told me it would be replaced within 24 hours.
The third time I went to the store they told me it would be replaced the next day between the hours of 5-7.
Now I'm new to MPLS, so I need my phone for the temp agency to call me when they have work for me. Now I haven't been able to work at all.
I'm disabled too, and now my Disability benefits are at jeopardy, cuz I cant call them. That means my rent is at jeopardy too. AT&T just might make me homeless
A month later, I went back into the store, after paying all my past dues, for service I didn't receive, and they told me again that is would be delivered within 48 hours.
I still have no phone.
I just moved here to MPLS from Portland Or., and I have been able to find a steady job yet, so I rely on my phone so that the temp agency can get me work.
Still no phone!
Now the temp agency wont work with me any longer cuz I don't respond to my phone calls and I still have to find a way to pay my bills.
AT&T says it's not their fault, cuz their insurance policy goes through a second party.
Meanwhile AT&T still charges me for a phone I don't have and service I'm not getting, and insurance for a phone that's been ran over by a car.
So I warn you. Stay away from AT&T. They have strait up lied to me in my face now 4 times.
Here's the kicker, even though I have no phone, they have locked me into a 3 year policy. I have to continue to pay for a phone I don't have, service I'm not getting, or it will go against my credit rating.
Stay away from AT&T. Their adds are lies, their insurance is lies, and the store itself is full of lies.
They have a whole back room full of phones, but instead of making it right, they just lie and turn me towards more red tape.
I doubt I'll ever get a phone from them.
So now I'm just another chump being fucked over by a major corporation.
Stay away from AT&T!
