My new Pixel phone died within 4 months of purchase. On top of it I have insurance. They put my data into AT&T's system which said on the screen that I was eligible for a replacement of my new defective device! The manager decided he didn't like me and told me to go through Google which HAS no working customer service number, or any other support for their devices. I'll need to go to another carrier to get a working phone so I can contact my attorney. read more

1/4/2026. Hubby brought me in to upgrade my phone. Amador was very professional and well spoken. His customer service felt very genuine and kind. Please give him praise for the great service he provides. read more

I had a very troubling experience with my iPhone trade-in at this location. Initially, the staff attempted to take my phone without providing any receipt or confirmation. After insisting, I finally received a document with my phone's info. A week later, AT&T customer service could not find my trade-in. I followed up multiple times, both by phone and in person, but got no help. When I returned to the store and indicated I was calling AT&T, the manager admitted he still had my phone--it had never been shipped. Only then did he return it to me. This experience felt deceptive and untrustworthy. I hope AT&T investigates this store. Customers deserve better. read more

I had an iPhone 6 that I bought in 2015 and it lasted me 6 years! There was nothing wrong with my phone except that it had no storage space left! It was 16GB haha and let's just say that after 6 years I kept on having to delete photos, videos, songs, messages and apps just to make room for new things. I told myself that I wouldn't upgrade to a new phone unless I absolutely had to in the event that my phone stopped working or it broke, but after some time I just felt that I was way overdue for an upgrade since my iPhone 6 looked like it was gonna last me many many more years haha I was mad at the Apple Store (Fashion Valley location) so I didn't want to support their store by giving them a sale, so I thought I'd try the AT&T and I'm glad that I went here instead. I called in advance to see if they had the iPhone 12 Pro Max in stock and luckily they did. I quickly drove over and was helped out by Mike. He was a chill dude and told me about a trade-in deal to knock $700 off the cost of my new phone. I usually don't like to pay in installments but $700 bucks is too great of a deal to pass up! The only annoying thing was there was an old creeper dude lurking inside the store who was bothering me so I wanted to get out of there fast. Also, since it's a smaller store you might have to wait long before getting serviced. Other than that, I'm glad I chose this place over the Apple Store. read more

I'm not an Att customer, but came here to help my Aunt for her upgrade and we got fabulous service from Amador. Time efficient and he helped every step. So polite and while with us still acknowledged people walking in and even said "bless you" when another person sneezed. Very attentive, polite and helpful. If you are looking to get anything at Att here, ask for Amador. read more

AT&T Store: 3952 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego. WARNING!!!! This store and its employees are TOXIC!!! I'm an existing i-phone customer who had a couple of function questions before upgrading to a newer phone. "BOB" told me this is a "SALES STORE, NOT A CUSTOMER SERVICE STORE." When I told him I was able to get general questions answered in the past, he told me, "YOU ARE DELUSIONAL." The store manager LATASHA MARIE heard the entire interaction and did nothing. When I asked for contact information for her general manager, she told me to leave the store. "BOB" shouted insults at me and mocked me as I walked out the door. It was a horrible experience. I will never do business with AT&T again. read more

went to this store location since I was in the area just wanted to ask questions and was only interested in a phone case but a gentleman name Amador help me out with every question I had to ask and actually hook me up with a great deal for me and my family. highly recommend giving this guy a raise read more

Standing at the front door at 10:05, store is suppose to open at 10. Pull on the door handle, door is locked- the employee looks my way and says nothing and continues to go about his business. I stand there for a few minutes to give him a chance, I ask through the door if they're suppose to be open at 10, he replies "when I'm done I'll open the door" Customer service- non existent read more

A few days ago Maya at this store helped me when I needed help transferring info from an old phone to a different phone and today I was lucky enough to get Michael's help..he stuck with me (an old woman and not a techy one!) and worked through every issue and question I had. He was kind, patient and truly helpful. His help and his demeanor were greatly appreciated....AND he saved me a LOT of money! read more

Got a new phone and didn't know how to set it up. Walked in, waited for just a couple of minutes, and got exactly the help I needed! The employee who helped me was named Esteban and he was friendly and super efficient. He helped me with what I needed. They had spacing guidelines on the floor, hand sanitizer right out in the middle of the store, the door was open. Esteban and all customers wore masks. All good!!! read more

What in thee ungodly f**k is going on at this AT&T store? Reported them to district manager / corporate today. I have visited this location 3x now, and seen their bullshit "Out to Lunch" or "Back in 30 min" sign twice. There's no time on this sign ... so they're definitely gone, or in the back doing who knows what, for probably hours. Meanwhile, I'm trying to drop off my trade-in phones so I don't get charged. Really wish I didn't buy phones & service from this HORRENDOUS location. They do not deserve anyone's business. Switched from Verizon to get cheaper service and new phones...and man I never got service like this from them. Noticed another person's review that included a photo of the Out of Lunch sign...from 2018. TWO YEARS later, and this store is still getting away with this. Making sure AT&T corporate knows exactly how I feel about this garbage pit of a store. read more

I went there with an issue that has been resolved but the only thing a "manager" could do was to direct me to customer service ( which i have spent hours with them already taking care of this issue) or his answer, there was nothing to else he could do. Managers are paid to find solutions. No wonder why I stick to Verizon. I pay more but they always take care of the issues when they came up. oh btw, we have been dealing with Att for 5 months now about this issue. Seriously get your s**** together read more

Extremely small & rude! They're short with their responses, watching tv as I'm talking and rudeeee. Eeeek go to the one in mission valley they're much friendlier read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I called this store this morning to confirm availability of a product and the store hours. I came over to the store at 12:45 to find a note on the door saying "out to lunch." I thought it was weird as they had just opened at 10 but decided to wait hoping they'd be back in half an hour. I moved my car to a parking spot right in front so I could head in when they re-opened. It is now after 2:00 and still no one is back. In the meantime four other customers have arrived and left. This is horrible and unacceptable customer service. Had a tentative time been left on the note (of when they may be back), that would have been slightly more acceptable. Now I'm leaving perturbed having lost over an hour of my day and without the new phone I was looking to buy. Manager response to this comment would be much appreciated. read more

AT&T Store - Mobile Phones Near Me - San Diego, California

Some of the worst customer experience I have ever encountered. When I walked in the employee was sitting at one of the tables... I didn't even realize he was an employee and he said to me "do you need something?" while still looking at his personal phone. After explaining all kinds of issues I had been having with my phone and how I had been advised from tech support to go into a store, he looked at my phone for about 10 seconds and did not give me a helpful answer, nor ever even stood up. He told me I should try resetting the whole thing but probably shouldn't do it in the store because they were closing soon. I looked at my phone and saw it was 4:51 PM. I said "oh do you close at 5?" And he said "no, 6." All in all he was extremely rude and not helpful at all, and I left with nothing fixed. read more

I went to Balboa store to get help on replacing phone issues. The young gentleman by the name Nathaniel help me complete switching phone network service problems. He is very professional and kind. Earlier on the same day I went to the at&t Clairemont Mesa store trying to get their help, 6 employees showed unprofessional and did not know what were they doing. read more

Neighbors please be where the AT&T on Balboa is not a corporate store.I walked in with a perfectly fine Samsung note 8 upgraded to the iPhone 12.During the process of transferring from one phone to another.They completely wiped out the Samsung to where it is now worth nothing.I received no help from Michael and was told oh well phones break sometime. I went to another AT&T store and was told they couldn't help me because that was not a corporate AT&T. In addition the credit card that I used has been closed due to the unusual activity 2 days after. Which is locked my Apple ID causing me quite a mess . Please beware .I am just devastated to have been taken advantage of so badly. read more

Went to upgrade my phone. Got dropped off at 3:45, to find the door locked with a hand-written sign saying "back at 4:10". The store closes at 6. This place doesn't have it together. Avoid. read more

I've been an ATT customer for many years and my experience yesterday at this store was extraordinary!!! Keyla was not only very personable but extremely knowledgeable as well. She helped me navigate the ins and outs of my plan. Offered me different options and she was patient with my numerous questions. After I made a decision she helped me get set up too! Great person to deal with! Thank you! read more

Esteban answered all questions helpful Friendly Awesome Customer Service .Thank you Att for employees like him with great Attitude

I just had a hell of a day trying to purchase the I14 pro. The store told me they had it in purple exactly what I wanted. When I got to the store the employee told me he's unable to do any returns, He told me he'd hold the phone for me but I had to go to the corporate store in Mission Valley to do the return. I went to that store, manager told me i could in fact return the phone at ANY At& T store. I then called the balboa store to let him know he said he didn't know how to do returns. Manager told me to have him call him if he needed help. Balboa employee told me he was busy and couldn't talk on the phone now. I returned to the store for him to process my return and buy the phone he promised to hold for me. I waited 40 minutes while he helped another person. When it came to my turn, he had me sit in the store for 20 minutes while he was in back. He then came out and said he did not have the phone he promised he did have. I am beyond pissed off. He not only wasted my day with running around for absolutely no reason at all. But wasted gas and had me sit around knowing he did not have what he told me he had. I am so frustrated. I want to return my IPhone 14. And get a IPhone Pro in purple. I bought my phone last Friday. Today is Monday. Is there any easier way to do this then deal with stores. The waiting times are to long and they wont tell you if they have what your looking for until your turn. Please help. read more

Purchased 13 days ago a phone screen protector from this store by pure-gear and today the screen popped up, I went back to store with receipt in hand and spoke with Francisco C. Well, he informed me he couldn't do anything about it and I asked why not if it was under warranty, he informed me that i didnt have the manufacture's package on which he through it in the garbage at the store when he installed the screen protector on my phone, he told me to take it up with pure-gear and just turned his back to me and walked away. I have had so many issues with this company's customer service and now this. Taking my money elsewhere. read more

Purchased an I watch that was needed before the end of the week. Shipment was supposed to be shipped in a timely matter and according to fedex it was not deliverable as no one was available at the store during business hours? I tried calling the store several times but nobody answered. Very upset with this att store and the lack of communication. They should just shut it down due to lack of service. Reported it to AT&T headquarters. read more

This place sucks. It's like the B team of an already much despised retailer formed here to make sure nothing gets done. I came here due to proximity to my house to ask about upgrading my phone, and they didn't actually help me except say...they won't help me? I asked why they can't help me out and they just said they don't have the phone, they won't order it for me, and they don't know anything about the trade in program. The only good thing was they referred me to someplace that actually could help me. I know part of the problem is that AT&T keeps their employees in the dark about a lot of things, such as shipment details and whatnot, which is super useless and not the employee's fault. I think it's just a terrible partnership of a company that needs to share more with their employees, and employees who need to at least pretend they don't hate being there. read more

Showed up @ 4:46.. door says closed @5.. everything locked up. Not to mention it's daylight savings.. ugh! Map times says store is open til 6 today.. sooo irritating!! read more

This is not so much a review of this store, but a review of AT&T as a whole. I was a loyal AT&T customer for 10 years, never missed a bill, never played the pity card with them, just an honest customer. Then one day I go into an AT&T store (not this one) and update my cell phone from a flip phone to a smart phone back in 2013. The sales people were helpful and made it sound like I was good to go. Then a week later and I am getting hit by a very expensive bill, something in the ball park of $220 bill for one month. Something about breaching my contract. I called AT&T, explained my situation and the lady on the phone said "too bad, we are going to stick it to you" in so many words. Needless to say, I quit AT&T and moved on to T-Mobile (a superior company with better prices). This is a warning to all AT&T customers, I would suggest leaving AT&T for good and move onto a better cell phone company. read more

I went to them for an iphone 4g which died within 9 days and they refused to give me a new iphone but agreed to substitue for another phone (I would have had no service and they didn't offer me the option to cancel my contract) so I took an HTC ONE which died another 29 days later. When I went back to them I wanted another Iphone. I hated using the HTC when every other piece of equipment in my house was for the iphone. So I said since I needed a replacement I wanted to go back to the iphone and they refused to help me in any what. So I left my phone in the store requesting they process a return and went to verizon and got my iphone and am really happy. I went home and filed a complaint with my credit card. 4 weeks go by and my credit card company kicks back the charge and says they need a receipt from the store that it was returned. The store won't process the phone and won't give me any paper work on the phone and told me that I should come in and pick up my broken phone and that's my only option. So I am out $309, have no phone, and no recourse according to ATT. Oh, and also got charged the early termination fee from ATT wireless for canceling my service contract so all together I'm out about $700 and have nothing to show. ATT has the authorized retailers like this one out there doing business in their name but won't help with resolving issues at the store level because they are not the same business. Don't use an "authorized retailer". Go to Clairemont Mesa Blvd store instead.They are an actual ATT store so if you have problems you don't have another entity that I'm having trouble finding any information on. This store read more

Go see, manager Chris! Totally customer service driven and professional. Saved tons of money and appreciate the knowledgeable help. We are Clairemont locals and it's nice to have such quality care right in our backyard! We will always come back! Keep up the good work! read more

Terrible customer service. The reps have no desire to help and is more than willing to just throw their hands up and be like well it's really more your problem than mine and guess you are just Shit out of luck. The one star review is not just for this store, it is for the overall atnt experience as well. Will never be use anything associated with atnt again in the future. I am glad the consistently declining atnt stocks reflect the terrible product and service they provide read more

Terrible customer service. I have never been so rudely treated. I walked in holding my cable box and they pointed out the door. I said "where do I go? No one answers at AT&T." They said UPS store as they stared at their phones while saying it. No nice tone. Just rude. read more

I canceled my AT&T Internet service on May 16, 2018. I also canceled my cell phone service with AT&T, because I had bad experiences with their service. I had Spectrum Internet service installed on that day. A couple of weeks later, I received a statement from AT&T with a balance due of $237.88. I've missed only one monthly payment, which was $40, due to the bad service. So, I called back on June 4, 2018 to speak to a representative whose name was Arlene CKW4CN9. After she took a look at my account for a few minutes, she said my total balance was actually $73.63. However, she said she cannot make any changes, and that I have to talk to another AT&T Department. Finally, I spoke with Franco FW141E from that Department to confirm that my balance was $73.63. So, I was waiting for the AT&T billing statement, which I intended to pay in full. A couple of weeks later, I received the AT&T billing statement showing a balance of $132.54. I again called AT&T on July 17, 2018. The representative I talked to was Angel RB165J. She said that I have a contract with AT&T. I told her that I've never had a contract with AT&T during that period time. Then she got angry and said that it was an oral agreement. All of this billing hassle I have had to put up with from AT&T lately is totally unnecessary and just wrong as a matter of principle. read more

Never go to this store unless you want to waste your time. Apparently they are tagged as a "fraudulent" store and the process takes significantly longer. We went in to simply add a phone line and an hour later still no new phone line so we left. Don't waste your time here and go to a real ATT store. read more

This location has the worst services. The woman would not give me her name. She would not provide the number to the district manager or any other provider that could offer any assistance on an apple iPhone. She clearly has no interest in solving any issue that requires more than a kindergarten education. Absolutely the most egregious effort and attitude. Close the store!!!! No one on the store and 5 people working. Disgraceful! read more

Great store, location and service. I went there to upgrade my iPhone. The service was great and they had amazing personalities. Chris And Nidia were amazing. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for great customer service regarding their phone needs... read more
