I purchased a new Apple phone from the AT&T store at the Triangle Mall three weeks back. It was…read moreevident from the onset, that I was not getting sound notifications that someone was trying to contact me. I went to the Apple store in NY city and they couldn't find the problem. I went into the store in Longview and finally got a person, named Imani. She didn't give the typical store response of "We don't provide service or tech support " she took me to her table and dug right in by trying different things. Very calm and patient. She finally found the problem and in five minutes I was walking out the door. What a marvelous lady she was. She needs and deserves a raise.

RANT: I've had it with AT&T…read more Never, Never again will I do business with these CROOKS! I saw them at a festival, and was told about the great discounts and deals they had, and how I could save $ by switching my wireless over to them. So I went home, printed up my last couple of bills from Xfinity, so I can compare. I was quoted $35 per line for the unlimited starter pack. Sounded great. But I did have to get a new device for one of the lines. Hey, no problem. They had a decent LG phone that would only be a $1 a month. So I took the bait. I got the first bill and it seemed high, but because of prorated billing period. I let that one slide and waited for my true second bill. Well I got by 2nd bill. And boy was I in for a shock. Here is the list of lies/issues. I was told $35 per month per line. Well because I had 2 lines instead of 4, I was being charged $80 per line. Now in the store I was told $35 per line period. I was NOT told I had to have 4 lines. Insurance. Well they slammed me with a $40 a month for 4 devices. I don't know why, when I only have 2 lines. Talking to the Loyalty department, they change it to $8.99 per line. I was also told I was already saving $10 per line per month, because of automatic payments, but was being charged $10 per line per month for not having paperless billing. I assumed that I was still getting paperless billing already. Now mind you to get the $35 per month per line you must have the following. 4 lines Automatic payments Paperless billing. Otherwise you're paying $10 more per device, per month for each of the last 2 Qualifiers. Next I was noticing that quite often my internet was super slow. They told me that since I was on the starter pack, That my my speed was throttled whenever the Network was busy. Guess where I live that is most of the time. Still after everything was said and done, I was still paying $60 to $70 a month for less than what I was getting with Xfinity. So I said screw it. Yesterday I went to the Xfinity store and tried to move everything back. Well I knew I was going to take a hit on the device I got from AT&T. Sure enough that was a $170 that I had to payoff. Than when I tried to unlock that phone, since I now OWN it outright. I'm being told that I can't unlock it until after it has been on an active line for 60 Days. I asked the loyalty department, you mean even though it is paid in full, unless it is assign to AT&T service, it is nothing more than a paperweight and useless to me, she said that is true. Next, when I started service with them, they had no problem prorating my first month. But when you cancel service, they do not. It doesn't matter if your on the first day or the last day of the billing period, you are paying for the entire month In my option I was Robbed!!! People, if you're ever considering AT&T, I advised against it. This lesson cost me hundreds of Dollars. I will never do business with a bunch of Crooks again. For your info, with Xfinity It is as follows. Unlimited everything 1 line $45 a month 2 lines $80 a month 3 lines $100 a month 4 lines $120 a month. No throttle becaus of busy network, only if you go over 20gig per line (which I never will). Superior coverage (Xfinity uses Verizon towers)
