All of their plans are BAD VALUE TO THE CONSUMER. When I called to express concern, the sales rep laughed at me and told me I was crazy if I thought what I thought. He even went so far as to say that not one person has called in with the same concern and I'm the first and only person who feels that way. I told him thank you, hung up, called the Better Business Bureau, reported AT&T and then cancelled my account. I couldn't be happier being back at Verizon.

AND OPEN AN ACCOUNT UNDER HIS NAME WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION TO DO SO……WOW….I CANT BELIEVE THE WORLD WE LIVE ITHello everyone, I am so happy that I found a place where I can leave my info about at&t and their service. If I had my ways I would never get a service from them. "LET ME KNOW IF I TOPE ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIANCE....." here is my story. So, my parents can’t speak well English...so usually I would be the one giving 100 calls to att. So than, my parents decides to move to one apt to another. My brother called att to see if any are able to transfer the service to new place and if there is going to be any charge. Well they said they can transfer the service and they will be not charge. YA RITE LIKE THEY DO ANY FREE OF CHARGE. We believed them. BIG MISTAKE. They charged us for it big time. The transfer fee is more than installation fee. I called to see what in hell is going on. Well I was advice by them that they do not see a note from when my brother calls to verify such info. There for they can not do anything about it. And so I had to pay the money I was so mad, told him this is just wrong. I spend 3 hours with him arguing. I told me the only reason I have the danm land line is that I need the internet. Well at that time he told me that they have service call "Direct Loop"(I think). As long as I have an other product with att. Which is just the internet does not require a phone line and it’s also $25 a month. I was and I end yup paying the bill in full which I should have not. Well he set me up for the account, told it will be starting from this date. Well two weeks after that we got a letter in mail saying they don’t have that service available at are place there for they cant offer us that service. So that I was like ok fine F**k it...that month we got two bills in are mail. One for the $25 and one for the internet and phone line. I was like what the f**k is going on. Oh and byw the $25 account was opened under my brothers name and ssn, who ever called att to open an account with them.So than i called them again...i am like what the f**k your going one side u say we don’t have a such service and u go head and charge us for it. Well they are like well talk to are tech serv. people. I did that I was told that the $25 service was running to are place from sep 25. I was like than why in hell u send us letter saying we don’t have the service. They are like just pay this $25 and don’t worry about the other bill. BIG MISTAKE AGAIN...(spoke with 8 people 3 and half hours)Got two bills again from them one for $25 and one with late charges on it which they told me not to pay. I called again...got mad at the person I was speaking too...transfer me to manger (only mgnr I was able to speak to) told me not to pay the bill and will send a letter in mail which say I have no balance to do. I was like OK....I also did not tell me the $25 is under my brother who is not 18 nor did he call to open an account with you. Advice me to have him call and change the name on account and there will be no charge to do so. I had my brother call them. They say in order for them do change the name they have to cancel the account and open one under my mom. At that time this person informs my brother that the $25 service is not available at my place. "COME ON.....U THINK WE'RE SUTPID...JUST IN MIN THE SERVICE IS NOT THERE....: o......" well they end up give us a service with phone line and internet...which I did not want to it. The only thing we want it was name change. Since the nov. 18 my brother is trying to get the internet running. It has not happened. We're give a date when the internet should be working at are place. The date came my brother try to run the internet....GUESS WHAT...:O....IT DOES NOT WORK....BIG SUPRISE....MAN...so he called to there tech. people who does not care whose on acc. and whose calling...my brother told them the problem they told him it will be ruing next wed....the wed. came...it was not run.

You can actually cancel the order as long as it yasntt been shipped. What you couldve actually done was do the preorder then head to any other store to see if they have any iphone's in stock. If they did, you couldve purchased one at that point and cancel your order.Sorry you had such a bad experierience. as a sales rep for AT&T you were, apparantly, misinformed.

As far as him calling another store for you, do you know that all the stores compette with each other not only for sales but their livelyhood. Why didn't you take that 2G iPhone of yours and called apple yourself before you agreed to order it. What logical reason would you have to be pissed.
