CARBONDALE, PENNSYLVANIA -- Complainant: Anthony Cook Carbondale PA
Signed up with AT&T 04/10/2009
Account Number: (Must Be Requested)
This is a letter to anybody who wants to read it. It concerns AT&T customer care and how they mistreat and lie to customers.
Below is a quick view of a payment arrangement I have made end of February 2012:
The agreement made with AT& T via Phone Customer Care Service:
Had Made Payment arrangement as below:
Call to make first payment on March 2, 2012
Amount: 165.93
Call again on March 15, 2012 to make arrangement for:
Amount: 165.93
This is about what happened the first day of my payment agreement:
Called to make first payment on March 2, 2012. The recording, or course, had indicated that the account is blocked from check or credit card payments. Wow, really? AT&T customer care to the rescue. How is this possible when I'm on an arrangement already.
Here is what actually happened:
The end of October 2011 I paid 235.24 to AT&T via a credit card ending in 4706, has been closed recently also. This credit card belonged to my Mother. I have a bank account with her and I use this card to pay my phone bill on occasion. Without me knowing my mother later disputed the charge on her credit card, forgetting this was my phone bill and I had already paid her. Apparently, this dispute had backed out the 235.24 from AT&T in February 2012. Soon after I had made my first arrangement as above for 165.93. Wouldn't it be nice if AT&T would have made me aware of this mishap.
Discussed this issue with Customer Server personnel. They had indicated that a credit card payment from October was taken off my account on February 22, 2012 which I did not know at this time. Now they say my account is 140 days past due and they cannot make an arrangement. After discussing this further with a supervisor, I was told to pay the 235.24 that was backed out in October 2011 and then I could make an arrangement the next day after I make a cash payment. I promised to pay 235.24 the next day and would call the back to make further arrangement. Was promised by the customer service representative that they would not suspend my account unless this payment is not honored. We were all in agreement.
March 3, 2012 sometime in the afternoon my service was suspended. I called them immediately and asked why this happened when I was promised they would not shut off my service if the payment gets made. Keep in mind I work until 4 and had to make the bank to make this payment. The customer service representative had suggested that I pay the October 2011 return of 235.38 then they will un-suspend my service. Then I was told to call them back to make a new arrangement with them. All was fine at this point. We all agreed!
March 3, 2012 4:15pm Called AT&T to confirm that I was on my way to make the payment of the 235.24 as promised. This time I was told that was not enough to get my service back on. I have to pay $545.19 now because it's 140 days old. I have told them that I was promised by the customer service representative prior that I only had to pay Octobers bill then I can make a new arrangement and get my service back on. This customer service representative told me they cannot do that. Thus, I was lied to twice (2) by AT&T Customer Service. I requested a supervisor to talk to. Again I got the same line from the supervisor and no way were they going to budge. I threatened to go to another company and they really didn't even care. Very awful business practices. I requested to go over the supervisors head and again they gave me the same deal. I told the manager that what bothers me the most is that the customer service representatives can lie and get away with it. This manager would not work with me and she claimed that they cannot over ride this for me. Anything can be over ridden so I did not believe that for one minute. Another manager who really didn't care to help much less care that I threaten to closed my account and go to another company.
Perhaps AT&T is right to expect me to pay the 545.19 because it was not their fault this happen. However, as they can see it wasn't my fault either. Consequently, I had expected them to work with me and help me with an arrangement and not suspend my service. Moreover, there was no problem with me paying for the services, I like having the services and I certainly was not trying to rob them. Since this was a mistake by a third party, I expected them to work with me. I guess I expected too much and now I know the company's true colors. When it comes to customer care please don't ever rely on it because it's more like "customer don't care" and you usually get a foreigner on the line that gives you the same spiel every time. "I am sorry to hear you have a billing issue...", what a scam and lack of humanity in today's business. Whatever happened to "Operator may I help you?", a real human from your own country asking to help you. Call me old fashion but, at least you were a person then, not just a number to add to some CEO's bottom line.
Needless to say once my contract is up, I'll be moving to a different company. These large companies had forgotten about Customer Care. Loose one customer is not going to affect their pockets by much, so they really do not have any care of Customer Loyalty and there is no personal customer service that really cares if you stay or leave them. The bottom line is billions of dollars aligning the pockets of CEO executives and losing a couple accounts a day is the least of their worries. If each customer took away millions of dollars of their prized shares of stocks, I bet they be better at it and enhance their customer care service.
Shame on AT&T!
Your AT&T employees misrepresent and lie to its customers. I went into an actual AT&T store on the 17th of July 2013 and bought a mi-fi device which I had to pay $49 for and sign a 2-year contract. I asked the representative to sign me up for a 3 GB plan, and for some reason I noticed when I got home that I was signed up for 5 GB instead, I was also prorated to pay an extra 6 dollars or so on my next bill, because for some reason my billing cycle started on the 19th of June and not the 17th. While at the AT&T store, I was also very clearly told that I could at any time downgrade my service to any of the other plans from 10 Gigabites, to 3 Gigs, to 500, and finally down to 250 MB. Now 3 months later and the data being sucked up while I sleep, I decided to downgrade the Mi-Fi plan to 250 MB and get home internet service instead, while I would still pay the $14.99 a month for their lowest plan.
So I got my home internet from AT&T BTW, and I call their customer service on 21 of October 2013 (Monday) to try to save some money, while I try and do the right thing and fulfill my contract. I tried to cancel on the 19th right before my next billing cycle but they are closed on weekends. I called because I wanted to downgrade my service and use what data amount I thought was appropriate. Come to find out the information that I received at the AT&T office in Jackson, CA was wrong. The plan, which I was offered apparently is only available for tablets, not mi-fi the lady on the phone told me. When I told her that their company's representatives are misleading and not telling the truth, she told me to drive back to that Jackson, CA (which is almost 100 miles and talk to their manager, and tell them to train their employees better). So now I have to do the job that AT&T managers should be doing and I should pay $ and time for the mistakes their reps make. And there's nothing the customer representative could do, so I ask her to cancel my service then, because I wasn't going to pay $50 for a service that I wasn't going to use. She said she couldn't do that for me and then she transferred me again to someone who had the capability to cancel my service. SO I was put on hold for another 20 minutes and another customer relations expert answers the phone with no capability of doing anything to help me either, except he said he could change my plan and change it into a mobile device plan where I could pay $14.99 a month, but. "I would not be able to use my mi-fi device", meaning I would be paying $15 dollars until July 2015 for no services offered what's so ever. So I asked, whether I would be able to exchange my mi-fi device for a mobile device and still continue using their service while paying the proposed $14.99. He said no, your 14 day grace period has expired. I asked whether my cancellation fee could be waived and he said "unfortunately no" for 100th time. I swear their training consists of saying unfortunately in front of every word. So I stopped negotiating and said that I just want to cancel and am would not like to take advantage of his awesome offer of $14.99 because me paying that amount would amount to $315 by the time my contract expires vs. the $138 cancellation fee/penalty. How does that do anything to help me out? When they should have stood by their word and at least trained their staff properly. Then, Elkanah [snip] the customer relations expert also says that I would be charged for an extra month through Nov. 19 because I called 2 days after my billing cycle started. I asked him to prorate it and he said they can't do that, they have no such capability. Then I called him out o it and said that they charged me with a prorated amount in the beginning why, so don't tell me there's no such thing as prorating. So he said he'll look into it and only charge my for 2 days of this billing cycles, after he attempted to lie to me and say that they work on the weekend. I called on the weekend and the machine told me to call during the work day.
This is ridiculous, they just straight out lie to you to get their money from you. They lie to me to get me signed up, they lie to me to try to make me pay $15 a month for no service, they lie to me and say they can't prorate to get an extra $50 out of me and they lie to me, saying they can't stand up for their representatives lying to me and waiving my fee.
Then they call me a valued customer.
Please waive my cancellation fee, because I deserve to be told what I'm buying and signing up for. I deserve to be told the truth. I will continue writing people to try to get the customer service and services I was promised or you also should have to hold up your side of the contract. It's not one sided, you should also be responsible for your employees not telling the truth.
Thank you in advance,

Account #: 436114016801
EVERETT, WASHINGTON -- So I go into the store at 10am to return my phone and cancel my account. I lost the debit card I used for the purchase and reported it stolen. So the associate says come back at 3 so they can give me a cash refund. They had to wait till the tills had enough cash for the refund. So I leave and come back at 3 and see the same guy. He passes me over to the manager named Mitch. He states the same story again and says they still don't have enough cash to do it.
So the manager himself says he will text me when they get the cash. He even sent me a text saying so to me. So I leave and time passes. I decide to go in at 5 to see how it is coming a long. The manager starts to go through the tills to make sure they have enough. Then he stops and starts talking to the other manager Amanda. Then after a minute conversation with her he comes over and says they won't be able to do cash. Then says they will need to send a check that may take 30 days to get. Then he states that he called all the other store managers to see if they can do it but they weren't able to find a way. He all of a sudden changed what he said from the beginning.
So then I talk to AT&T over and over. I got some calls from some execs but they never returned my call once I called back. They said I need to deal with the store and that they will refund everything but the restock fee and that they will just credit the account for that. Which doesn't help me since I'm closing the account. Then I go to the store for the 5th time now and of course receive the worst service yet. Amanda the manager skips over me and helps 3 people behind me. Then I flag her down and she says she thought I was with someone else. I tell her I just want to cancel the account and just get away from AT&T. She then puts me on the phone with customer service and walks away. Then she goes on lunch and I'm sitting there with no one helping me in person and on hole for over 30 min. Then the lady I do talk to says she can't help me because I don't know my number and that I should know it. I replied I had the phone for such a short time and why does it matter if I don't know you don't tell me what I need to know. She then says she can't help. I told her they usually look it up by SSN can't you do that. She hesitates and says yes and I told her I want a manager. She puts me on hold for 20 min. I decide I am over AT&T. I walk up to the reps in the store and tell them sarcastically thanks for the wonderful service once again. I dropped there phone on the desk and just left.
They are a joke there. I talk more and more with AT&T customer service and some say I will get a full refund but then say they can't and its just a big cluster f&@$. I don't know if I will get my refund. I believe it when I talk to someone and then I go in person and they don't know what the hell I'm talking about. They have the worst customer service possible. Most of there reps don't know what I'm talking about until I basically explain it over like 30 times. Each phone call is at least an hour and I've waisted to much already.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- 02Sept2011 I agreed to change to U-verse w/AT&T....I was an existing customer that was already paying 14.95/internet. The promo was supposedly for $20 something+ for internet and $35 for phone. I explained to the salesperson that I waa already paying $14.95/internet and it served my purpose so it wouldn't make sense to increase my costs for internet. She agreed to five me the internet @ $14.95.
Okay, U-verse installed 30Sept2011 (believe me, I keep notes. I really don't see a difference in service except for the fact that it's now wireless....more equipment inside and outside of house...not a plus!! Making a long story short, I have been complaining for the life of my new service about being incorrectly billed....02March2011 the c/s representative adjusted my bill dating back to 1st billing cycle but she claimed that she was unable to give me the $14.95/internet because that promo had ended...WHAT? She could only give me the new promo for $19.95(AT&T tried me TWICE)
She claimed she had corrected everything. Months later still being billed incorrectly. Many calls to AT&T but funny thing, no c/s representative would ever let me talk to a manager....the manager always has to call me back. Needless to say no one ever calls back....oh, but they tell you a guaranteed call back within 24-48 hoursJun 27, 2012 I was told this per my notes and just yesterday I was told the manager would call back as soon as they got out of their meeting, another guarantee from c/s rep17Aug2012....quite naturally no one called back....I chose not to run errands waiting on a phone call that never came through.
Need I mention the customer service representative in billing named "Yolanda" with the smart a** mouth that told me "when they see an amount they expect it to be paid (phone call dtd 17Aug12) or another smart a** mouth c/s representative in the Retention Dept. named "Scott [snip]" that nastily told me the bills are correct and the manager could do nothing and that he (the manager) will tell me the same thing! Those two incompetent figurines would never work for my company.
After reaching the supposed manager Al [snip] out of Pensacola Fl...that was another waste of time....a pure sign of incompetence or should I say, COVERUP. He sees all the adjustments but still says that I have been billed correctly since the 1st billing cycle....yet when questioned why the different adjustments were made...well, he could never answer that. He claimed that the system never reflected $14.95/internet so when I asked him how is it he couldn't see it but the other had been able to see it.....no answer. What was he hiding?
The fact that yes, I have been billed incorrectly since day one of Uverse service? Did I menion that I even got my services shut down twice within a month.....even after paying the $70+ like I was informed..even though I knew I was not behind (incorrect billing as always). My 78 yr old mother has been going through the same thing with AT&T billing.......they don't discriminate....young, middle-aged, old....screw whomever you can, uh AT&T. The fight has just begun!!!!!!!!
Thank Goodness for FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INTERNET! MY story will be told to the world.....in the process of making a video for YOUTUBE with copies of my bills. If I can save one person from this hell then I've a job well done. I work for a company that is Top 5 when it comes to amount of employess...so my story will be heard and passed on and on and on.

Re: AT&T #
Dearest Asurion Insurance Company and Your Equally Aggravating Conspirator, AT&T:
I've had the unique pleasure of spending the last several days on what seemed like
a series of no less than two-hundred and fifty-thousand grueling phone conversations with your ace customer service team regarding my defective Blackberry 8700c. The experience was akin to the most excruciating torture imaginable. In hindsight, I'd prefer the luxury of water-boarding, splintery bamboo shoots being shoved up under my fingernails or high-voltage electrodes attached to my reproductive organs by overzealous, mega-caffeinated CIA goons vying for promotion. Quite frankly, what I had to endure, dispensed by the script-sticking zombies at both of your fine and upstanding firms would make the most hardened member of The Third Reich cry out for his Mama.
On the bright side, I sure do know the drill, backwards, forwards and sideways now. "Thank you for calling the new AT&T about your wireless service." Then comes something in Spanish like, "Donde esta el shampoo? Estas Susan en la casa? Primero numero dos." Then, of course you get a menu, to which you can respond by pressing the numbers 1 through 4 on the phone keypad, and then finally you get a real live android on the other end of the line. They ask you again for your Cell number, address, last four of your social, name, rank and serial number. But, before your grunts in the trenches could even utter the repetitive question log after passing me around your system like a drunken crack whore dwarf at a gang-bang porn shoot I would clearly, confidently and calmly, restate said data, much to their surprise. They thought I had ESP. That was fun. I was helpful. This, by the way was after three (count 'em three) trips to the AT&T store. The only heroes in this nightmare by the way were two Indian expats Jiwan and Nav at the AT&T bodega at Varick and Houston in NYC. They were the only people that went way out of their way to try to get to the bottom of my problem and actually help me. For the record, I wasn't even a customer of theirs. They were just being nice guys. And, I walked away with a fabulous chicken vindaloo recipe. All was not lost.
Back to the issue at hand: I have a defective Blackberry 8700c. Not defective as in I dropped it in the toilet while tripping my face off at the Phish concert in Central Park. Not defective from me flinging it out of my window on Exit 11 of the New Jersey Turnpike, doing 80 in a 55 and having it run over by a Smart Car with 18" rims. Not defective in that my chubby pal Louie tried to salt, pepper and eat the damn thing just defective, all by itself. Oh yes and only one month after the warranty expired. Ain't that a kick in the head?
Thus far, all a relative cakewalk as I'm sure you'll agree. It is at this particular juncture of my story that the real tyranny begins. AT&T refers me to the insurance department. I naively believe this is actually a division of AT&T. That's just ignorance though. I slap myself on the back of the head, Italian-style for being such a stunod. Turns out things are far worse it's Asurion, a division of CNA Insurance. (cue the silent movie villain piano music now)
AT&T tells me that all I have to do is call, make a quick claim and voila they'll send me a new replacement phone right away. Simple right? I mean what could possibly go wrong? I was so relieved. Did I mention that my livelihood is high-pressure sales in the financial sector? Without my Blackberry my sole connection to the universe, I'm little more than roadkill on the superhighway of life. A shell of a man. A mere shadow in the midst. Um, in other words totally screwed.
So, I called Asurion. It was a real treat to speak to the folks that I've been paying $4.99 a month to. Made it seem a little less like my hard-earned cash was being sucked into some useless black hole in another dimension. The kind gent on the other end of the line said the same thing. His speech, pretty much verbatim is like this, "Sure. We'll be happy to send a replacement phone to you, Sir. You may want to grab a pen and jot these items down. All I'll need is a notarized sworn affidavit and proof loss, a copy of your most recent AT&T wireless bill, a copy of your current driver's license, a valid proof of purchase, a photocopy of your sales receipt (the documents start flying by the sides of my head in various colors like at the end of '2001 A Space Odyssey' when Dave Bowman is zooming through time and space in the Astro-Pod) the electronic register receipt, the purchase receipt listing the ESN or IMEI and make model, the packing slip Are you getting all this, Sir? And or a photocopy of the numeric barcode from the side of the box which the phone came in." "Is that it?" I ask. "Oh and a skin graft from the underside of your left testicle. That will do it, Sir."
At this point it's Tuesday which means I have to beg my wife to dig through her files to find the myriad holy grail of documents that Asurion demands, then find a Notary. (and a licensed Physician as the last time I tried the skin graft procedure on myself for the NJDMV, I made a real mess of things. Here's a tip from your friend Tony a sharp, clean blade helps tremendously. Not my finest hour. Let's just leave it at that.)
It will take 2-4 days for Asurion to get my dossier of documents process them and ship me a replacement phone. That's a week I'm stuck with my defective Blackberry Or worse still, if it checks out completely, which it keeps threatening no phone at all!
To make a long story short (Entirely too late for that, I realize) you turkeys are holding me captive and I don't like it! This letter is going to the Better Business Bureau, The NY State Attorney General, to RIM, the manufacturer of Blackberry and to everyone I know on Facebook and Twitter. Heck, I'm all for sticking it to The Man as long as The Man is not frigging me!
Kindly resolve this now and reexamine your procedures and methods. Ugh. You have wasted my most precious resource time. Hours that I'll never be able to retrieve. They flew out the window of my 12th floor office and at this pace quite frankly, I'm ready to join them. I'm sure you behemoth conglomerates couldn't care less about my plight. You might want to keep in mind though that there is safety in numbers and with the technology at hand, mountains can be moved.
Harsh letter to follow.
Kind regards,
An Extremely Unsatisfied Customer
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- You would think that a company would want to make it easy for one of its customers to easily upgrade, but AT&T Wireless seems to believe otherwise.
Two years ago, once my phone contract ended, I switched to pay-as-you-go (PAYG) from monthly. For me, it was great b/c my bill went to $100 per/year (it had been $580; I'm not a heavy cell phone user). Today, I tried to upgrade to a newer PAYG phone but here's the problem: I just wanted to buy a new phone and switch my current number and account info over to the new phone. But the AT&T store tells me that I have to purchase my new phone on-line; the on-line AT&T folks tell me that I have to purchase that particular phone in the store. Not only that, but if you purchase the phone on line you can only get a new telephone number (can't keep your old one) and new SIM card and new account information. I'm scratching my head because it seems that they don't want to make it easy for you to upgrade.
Now, maybe this is due to some kind of second-class treatment for PAYG users. I have read studies that say that MOST consumers would save money by going to PAYG. There are still lots of people like me who want a mobile phone but we don't use it every day; heck, when I was on contract, I probably used my phone an average of 5-10 minutes per month. So, for all those years I was a great customer b/c I paid and didn't consumer ATT's resources. Now that I'm PAYG, it seems that basic services and conveniences aren't available.
One other point: cell phone plans and rules are, I guess, too complicated for a company's employees to accurately understand and convey. Sometimes, it seems that you can get a different answer for each person you ask a question ... but I digress.
Here is my chat log from my AT&T conversation:
Thank you for your patience! An AT&T sales representative will be with you shortly.
Chat InformationYou are now chatting with Holly, an AT&T sales representative.
Holly: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I assist you with placing your order today?
alan: I already have an AT&T phone, pay-as-you-go, with a $100 balance. I'm trying to purchase the Pantech c530 ... can I switch my current $100 over to the new Pantech? And can you do it or do I have to go into an AT&T store?
Holly: Unfortunately it can't be done online but if you visit an AT&T retail store to purchase the phone they can do that for you there!
alan: But I just visited a store today and they told me that I had to buy this particular phone on-line.
Holly: The phones online do require you to choose a new plan and come with a new SIM card and new phone number. The online checkout does not transfer an active AT&T number to a new AT&T phone. It's possible the person that you were speaking with was not aware of the procedure online. I apologize for that inconvenience.
alan: Okay, just to make sure I understand: if I want to get a new phone and still be pay-as-you-go, I have to get a new plan and new number and new SIM card? There is no way to keep my current number if I upgrade my phone and still maintain an PAYG plan? But if I went to a monthly plan, I could upgrade and keep my same number?
Holly: When you order online, you would need to choose a new phone and new plan. The checkout won't process an order of just a phone and it won't transfer an active AT&T number to a new AT&T plan unless you are upgrading a phone on a contract plan.
alan: Okay, but my phone is probably 4-5 years old ... so buying one of ATT's current line of phones is not considered an upgrade? I understand that processing an order won't transfer my current number -- but you seem to be saying that there is NO way of transferring my current number to a new phone.
Holly: You can transfer your current number to a new phone if you purchase the phone at an AT&T retail store, it just can't be done online.
Holly: The checkout will give you an error message.
alan: Okay, Holly, but at the AT&T store I was TOLD that I had to purchase this particular phone on-line? You say go to the store, the store says go on-line. What is a customer supposed to do??
Holly: The store may not understand the online procedure. I apologize for that.
Holly: They do not use the online system for ordering so they may not be aware that the checkout doesn't allow for just the purchase of the phone.
alan: Again, what is a customer supposed to do?? I'm certainly not going to buy another AT&T phone (new number etc) when it's imperative that I transfer my current number.
Holly: You can purchase the phone at an AT&T retail store if you like.
alan: I went to an AT&T retail store today, as I mentioned before. I was not at a Best Buy or some third-party store. I was at an AT&T store.
Holly: Yes, you may want to visit a different store. I am very sorry that happened but the checkout won't process an order of just a phone and it will give you an error message if you try to transfer the number. I apologize for the trouble.
alan: Okay, well, it seems to me that it'll probably make more sense to just port my number over to Verizon or T-Mobile. Thanks.
Holly: Did the store not have the phone you wanted in stock? We have had stores misdirect people online before in that case. You may want to call other stores in your area to see if they do have the phone. I would be happy to get you a list of those stores if you like.
alan: I can easily find other stores ... and, yes, they had the phone in stock ... but I feel that I've already spent more time that was necessary over something that shouldn't have been that complicated ... the next closest store to me was sold out of the phone ... so, right now, I'm not feeling like going out of my way and going to another store with the same misunderstanding (since, as you seem to suggest, certain of ATT's stores share this confusion).
Holly: Well I do apologize, you can purchase the phone at the retail stores, I would suggest calling in advance and speaking to the manager if you do decide to visit.
For years AT&T was my home phone service and later my cell. I paid for their line backer insurance all those years and one day my phones started acting up. I called AT&T and had the to check the lines and there was a problem with them. They set up a service appointment with me and no one showed up and no one called. I called them to find out what happened and big surprise...they had no record of the order for service. We set up another appointment. I can see this happening once, maybe twice...but FOUR TIMES !!! I have better things to do then sit around waiting for someone who is not going to show up. Needless to say I was in full rant mode when they heard from me again and they had the nerve to try to get me to go outside and open their box to check the wiring. Right away I knew they would send someone later to say it was tampered with and they were not responsible, not mention the fact that I would be doing their job for them.
That was exactly what I told them," your people get paid good money to do this job, I'm paying for the service and the insurance and I want someone here to fix the problem!". The next day my phone was disconnected. At first I thought they were sending someone to work on the lines, or maybe the phones just finally stopped working. I called my number from my cell and it had indeed been cut off. That couldn't be right, I paid the bill. I called AT&T and they claimed they never got my check, they didn't see anything about my having called several times about my phone lines or the four appointments where no one showed up, it showed that my service had been ABANDONED !!! I would have to sign up for new service. They did not want to come out their pocket to fix my lines. I would now have to pay for the repairs myself. So if you're paying for the insurance on your bill, they are stealing it from you.
I got rid of them and their lousy cell service, any time you can't call 911 from your cell for help or anyone else and you've already had dropped calls, garbled conversations or no service signal where you know you should have a signal, it's time to drop them. ( AT&T ) They don't have time to deal with you and your cell problems until its time to sign you up for another contract. Beware when that time is close, your cell will act up more and more and when you call in about the problem, they tell you it's time for an upgrade and tell you as a valued customer you qualify for a certain phone at half the price...but you have to sign another contract. There was nothing wrong with your cell, it was the provider of the service to that cell.
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- April of 2014 AT&T was replacing a defective phone by gifting me a new phone of another kind. At the time they were out of the one I wanted, so I paid the difference for the upgrade to 32GB. I was told that the phone was mine, but as I'm now cancelling my service contract I've found out that they connected the device to my contract and didn't make me aware of this- I was told the phone was mine, nothing about it being tied to a contract.
I called today to pay my early termination fee, which took me speaking to 2 CS reps and 2 supervisors before they would even take my money, as set up service with another carrier (1/2 the price for more of everything!) and they refuse to unlock my phone. All of the Customer Service reps I spoke with previously this week told me that once I paid it would be unlocked, but omitted the fact that there would be a ridiculous and completely inappropriate wait causing me to be without service.
I have now been told by a supervisor, Alex -Employee ID# B7S6G97, that he "Cannot have me on the line contradicting everything he says." after I stated they "are able to alleviate this, but clearly refuse to.", and then rushed me off the phone as though I was now a waste of his valuable time.
I will not have an unlock code until 5 days from now, preventing me from using my own phone. This is going to cost me as many days with the new carrier, not to mention the 3 days it took me fighting to get this far.
All but the last 2 reps I spoke with were, at least, professional. This is the only positive thing I can say about AT&T in my 2.5 years with their service.
My $255.00 early termination fee is paid, I owe them nothing and yet my phone, and therefore service, are hostage to AT&T and their asinine "policies"... this took 5.5 hours over the last 3 days of my time, and this is still unresolved.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- I must admit, after these first comments this review is going to get ugly. However, I will give AT&T credit on the fact that their initial installation in my home was fairly smooth, this includes the internet's performance, which is my main concern in this review. However, when I moved and had a change of address is when the problems began.
Starting off with the call to get my services switched to my new location the operator on the other end sent both, the direcTV installer and the internet installer to my last address.
Secondly, when the installer for my internet showed up they didn't use the correct modem, and for whatever reasons outside of my home, there was a problem with the wires so I had to wait an extra 3 days for a modem to be mailed to me in order for ME to install the modem. And I never got a smooth month of service since. I constantly have service interruptions, some have been for up to nearly and hour, others shorter. Many of their employees have been in my home to fix it, one tech switched the modem with a replacement, and the the disturbances came fewer and further between, but the fact that I'm paying for disturbances just doesn't sit well with me. They've told me they had people checking on the wiring outside before, but a customer can't really tell if that's being done or not.
Lastly their return policy for equipment is completely unreasonable. I have three pieces of equipment at my home and am more than willing to give this back to AT&T, however they don't send anyone out to take these things back, and will put $150 on your bill per piece of equipment. So I saw a bill that read 661.65 because of this. This 'give it to us, but we can't get it" policy is completely unfair to those that are disabled, or those that do not have the means to return the equipment to an AT&T Store, or a UPS Store.
I strongly recommend that if you need internet service not to go to AT&T for service. Based on my experience their customer service is so pleasant, ok, and apologetic is because their overall services are sub-par at best. Stick to Comcast, or I'll take a guess that a local cheaper place is better quality-wise. I could go on about their billing but if you need to know, I dare you to try them out. I know I'm sorry I did.
YAZOO CITY, MISSISSIPPI -- I've lived in thirteen different states and four countries and deal with a number of phone companies. Believe me when I say that AT&T is the worst! There is nothing good for me to say about AT&T Corp. in general or specifically with their telephone service or Internet service.
We've been a customer this time since July 2011 and from the outset it has been a nightmare. Worse yet, when you call no one can help you. Customer Service Reps are limited in their ability and their authority and supervisors are never available. They tell you a supervisor will get back to you but they never do. When they give you a phone number to call for assistance, mysteriously the phone number doesn't work. Online service is no better. We know as we've tried both.
Our problems with AT&T are ongoing. We live in Mississippi and whenever it rains, there is an awful buzzing on our telephone line in on both incoming and outgoing calls that gets so loud we can't hear anything but the buzzing. Though, we have reported over at least a half a dozen times, and repairmen come out to look at it, and know what the problem is, it has yet to be repaired.
Our newest problem is with billing. This past summer we called Customer Service to see why our monthly bill for phone and Internet keeps going up. We were given a new and reduced monthly package rate for both phone and internet to take effect October 2013 and run for twelve months. Funny though, how each month we receive a bill that doesn't reflect the new rate. Every month we have to call AT&T to get our bill reduced and no one can tell us why the new rate didn't take effect. We are subject to long hold times and have yet to get this resolved. Each time we called we hoped it was the last call, but it wasn't. Our last bill of January 2014 still didn't reflect the new rate.
In an act of desperation, we filed complaints with the State Utility Commission, the FCC, the TX AT&T Corp. Office and our federal government reps. Today, a contact in the Escalation Depart called us. Imagine, in order to get attention to our ongoing complaints we had to file a formal complaint. Nice, huh?
A word of advice: if you can go with another phone and internet provider other than with AT&T, go with the other option. We used AT&T for years in CA and Co for long distance service without issue.
However, as a local telephone and internet provider, they have a lot to learn about providing proper service and customer service. Our internet goes in and out and is not as fast and reliable as the service we had for four years with Qwest in MN. We once had Yahoo before AT&T acquired them and they were so much better.

Choosing the right CNC machine
With the number of options increasing and so many details to be considered, choosing the right CNC machine for your shop can be challenge. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Hobbyist-level CNC machines are all-in-one carving units that won't take up a huge amount of space in your shop. They feature a built-in motor/spindle into which the cutting bits are mounted, and they offer plug-and-play convenience. Just load the included software onto your computer, connect the CNC machine with the included USB cable, follow the instructions and start carving. Because of the smaller footprint of these machines, they work well for smaller-scale work.
Professional-level CNC machines are larger and, as a result, can accommodate larger workpieces. Along with increased power and capacity, these CNC machines have enhanced controls and include more sophisticated software. An external router (sold separately) is mounted in the machine to turn the cutter. (Some models require a Bosh Colt trim router, and some can accommodate larger routers with more power.)
Specialized CNC routing bits are available, and we offer the five most popular bits in a set.
So whether you're a hobbyist looking to make extraordinary carved gifts or a professional who needs to mass-produce detailed wood products, Rockler has the perfect model to fit your needs.

Texas heat: Aces to duel in Game 1 of ALCS
Verlander, Wilson look to start march to Fall Classic
"I think we have a good club, we'll represent ourselves well," Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "Texas has got a good club, but it's time to celebrate tonight and go get them on Saturday."
Texas qualified with a four-game knockout of Tampa Bay in the ALDS, keeping alive its hopes of becoming the first AL team without the interlocking NY on its uniforms to make successive World Series appearances since the 1992-93 Toronto Blue Jays. Valverde's game-ending punchout of Alex Rodriguez touched off a spirited celebration in the middle of the Yankee Stadium infield -- and in Middle America, with Detroit fans shaking a wavelength that rippled all the way to New York. Just like Detroit spent the summer rooting for the Tigers, the Tigers spent the summer rooting for Detroit. "We're pulling for one another," Tigers manager Jim Leyland noted in the middle of the ALDS. "Good atmosphere for the city. Makes people forget about their troubles with good times with sports. If you can make somebody happy -- that's what the song says -- make somebody happy. We're trying to make somebody happy." Texas sat around for a couple of days to learn whom it would play in the ALCS and, frankly, neither option was terribly appealing to Ron Washington's club. The Rangers dropped six of nine regular-season games with Detroit; the only team giving them a harder time was the Yankees -- 7-2 against the AL West champs. But the Rangers aren't awfully concerned."It really doesn't matter who we play," Rangers veteran Michael Young said the day his club clinched. "We're always up for anybody, and I think if you ask anyone in here, they'll tell you that no matter our opponent, we're always going to have guys come through for us and step up."
Getting the best-of-seven show on the road will be the teams' respective aces, left-hander C.J. Wilson for Texas and Justin Verlander, the Tigers' Triple Crown right-hander. Leyland had drawn some funny looks when declaring prior to Game 5 of the ALDS that Verlander would not be asked to help out of the bullpen -- unlike New York counterpart CC Sabathia, who indeed did work in relief in that game. But having Leyland stick to his judgment now unleashes Verlander on the Rangers on the typical four days' rest. The righty last pitched on Monday, in Game 3 of the ALDS. Wilson will be going on seven days' rest since he last pitched, although "rest" may not properly describe the left-hander's state. "Restless" is probably more fitting, considering Wilson is eager to rebound from being spanked for eight runs in five innings by the Rays in Game 1 of the ALDS. The eight runs -- six earned -- were the most he allowed since Aug. 5, 2005, when the Orioles got to the then-rookie for eight in his fifth Major League start. Washington was delaying a decision on how his rotation would set up behind Wilson to see who Texas was playing. Texas steps up as the next team to try to prove that, sometimes, good hitting can stop good pitching. It didn't work for the Yankees, who ranked second in AL scoring with 867 runs (only Boston had more, at 875) but managed to total only nine in the three losses to the Tigers. The Rangers scored only 12 fewer runs than the Yankees during the regular season, and will now try to solve Detroit's clutch, ice-blooded arms. Good luck, Yankees manager Joe Girardi appeared to be saying. "These guys have pitched all year long," Girardi said, referring to the Detroit staff. "You look at what they've done. They made some huge pitches when they had to. Whether it was [Game 5 starter Doug] Fister or any of their guys, they made big pitches when they had to." The only injury watch prior to the start of the series involved Delmon Young, Detroit's newest import-hero. A few innings after jacking his third ALDS home run against the Yankees, Young had to depart Game 5 with a tweak of his left oblique muscle. Leyland will monitor trainers' reports on the outfielder. His biggest immediate concern was that Young might have aggravated the injury when joining the Tigers' raucous clinching celebration in Yankee Stadium's visiting clubhouse. "The only thing I'm worried about Delmon right now," Leyland said, "is that he strains it more because he looks very happy jumping up and down in that clubhouse."The Tigers are happy to be heading to Arlington. The Rangers will be happy to welcome them, and to welcome a broadcast newcomer whose presence will highlight just how wacky, unpredictable and confounding the postseason can be.
Girardi, and his Yankees, are not in the ALCS. But Terry Francona, lately of the Boston Red Sox, is. Francona will be an analyst for FOX's game broadcasts.

I bought this camera for my daughter and she loves it! After some looking around overstock seemed to be the best price...not by much but still the cheapest.
This is a great little camera for the price for a SLR. The photos are clear and sharp, and the shutter is very fast. Got some excellent photos at a gymnastics meet - not blurry, caught the action in mid air. Very happy with this camera.
I bought this camera as a christmas gift to myself. As soon as I recieved it (3 weeks prior to christmas), I charged the battery and started taking pics. Since this was my first DSLR, I wanted to familiarize myself with it before christmas day. I am so happy and pleased with it. It is the best deal out there for this camera. I feel that with time, I too can create beautiful memories
This was a gift for my daughter. She really likes it.
overstock has cancelled the order twice and will not reveal the reason
Nice camera, though rather heavy but take great pics. Still learning the video setting use of the camera.
I love the camera!!! It is easy to use and the quality of the pictures are excellent. The price was the most competitive price I could find.
I agonized between this and a Nikon, I went Canon because people said its menues were more user friendly for the novice, I had to take a class to figure it out and still only use/know about a 1/4 of what it does, once I figure it out, I'm sure it will be over the top great. Comparing to my friend's Nikon photos, theirs look better but I wonder if that's the lense and not the camera. Also, you really need to read the manual or you'll think features don't work, they do, you just need to know exactly what you're doing. I am bummed that it doesn't have a wireless remote shutter release. For the money, it's a great camera but I do wish I would have spent a bit more on an Nikon, then again, the new pocket models are better, easier and have HD, my instructor said if you can get past the tiny size/buttons, they take better pictures than this Canon. My nephew's Fugi for $149 too OUTSTANDING HD video of me paragliding and didn't burn through nearly as much disk space as this Canon in regular mode.

I have been on the faculty of Memorial Sloan Kettering since 1989, and over the years I have treated thousands of people with common as well as rare gastrointestinal cancers. I have particular expertise in managing cancers of the colon and rectum, as well as rare tumors of the digestive tract such as carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and other digestive tract cancers such as liver, pancreas, stomach, and esophagus cancers. I also treat other neuroendocrine tumors such as adrenal cancers and pheochromocytomas.
Much of my career has also been dedicated to developing new drug therapies and treatment strategies for colorectal cancer, and I have tapped the vast resources of Memorial Sloan Kettering — from various clinical departments to the Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, the Sloan Kettering Institute, and The Rockefeller University — to create an integrated translational research program. As Chief of the Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology Service, I look forward to expanding this program even more in the years to come. I see enormous potential in using recent advances in the molecular analysis of tumors from individual patients to personalize and improve cancer treatment.
In addition to my role as Service Chief, I am Chair of the hospital's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and co-leader of the Colorectal Disease Management Team. I am also a Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Nationally, I serve on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Rectal and Anal Cancer Task Force and am co-leader of the Alliance NCI Cooperative Research Group efforts in colon and rectal cancers. I also serve on three National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines committees: colorectal cancers, neuroendocrine cancers, and unknown primary cancers.
Since 1990 I have authored or co-authored more than 150 peer-reviewed journal articles on the development of new treatments for colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers. I have also written numerous books, book chapters, monographs, and reviews on current and future treatment strategies for these diseases.
I am honored to have received various teaching and research awards over the years, as well as recognition for my work from such organizations as the American Cancer Society (Career Development Award) and Gilda's Club (Advancement of Cancer Medicine Award).

No hardware available? Go and buy it. I would be happy to buy one if I had skills and time to contribute, except that I already own the hardware but not the latter.
Phoronix: GPU Offloading PRIME May Get Improvements
A week ago we reported on open-source GPU offloading, which allowed multiple GPUs from different vendors that were backed by open-source graphics drivers to offload the 3D rendering work to a secondary GPU and then to pass the rendered result back to the primary GPU driving the display. This open-source work referred to as PRIME was based on NVIDIA's Optimus Technology. This work was done by David Airlie just as a proof of concept and he doesn't intend to get the work completed and shipped in the upstream packages, but is hoping to hand off this task to someone else...
No hardware available? Go and buy it. I would be happy to buy one if I had skills and time to contribute, except that I already own the hardware but not the latter.
I'd say a vendor should sponsor this, its a good thing that needs to be done.
And haxOr, not everyone has the spare cash to buy a notebook. Also, if you're working on something for a company you wouldn't be happy if the company said you should buy the thing by your own funds and no the seemingly endless company stack.
We are also looking for enthusiastic students to apply for mentorship. David Airlie has agreed to mentor someone with basic kernel and linux graphics knowledge to do this over the summer. That is why we are looking for hardware sponsorship. My role is solely to encourage this to happen by polling the community.
It isn't possible to ask for donations to buy the hardware in question?
We are looking for students with basic Linux kernel/graphics notions
interested in applying for the X.org Open Source PRIME multi-gpu
support Google Summer of Code 2010:
We are also looking for Linux users with Nvidia Optimus-enabled laptops
willing to provide debugging information for Open Source PRIME
multi-gpu support features being worked on. Please join the team and
send an email to the mailing list specifying your laptop model.
You can check the model, version and graphic card details of you laptop with this command:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
sudo dmidecode -s system-version
lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
Why not simply use a board with Intel onboard + dedicated gfx card with onboard not disabled in bios?
I was thinking the same.
I have a desktop system at home that has an onboard nvidia 6100 and a separate discrete card...
I don't know if my level of knowledge is high enough... but I'd be interested (even if google sponsorship is not in the cards).
I'm a moderately experienced C coder (3 years working on AIX), but I've done nothing in the kernel beyond compiling it, and have only the vaguest idea what happens inside xorg drivers.

The act of being so absolutely diu that you no longer are just diu, you are officialy a diusor. Used as a noun, the word means the opposite of l33tsor, and roxor. This word comes from the combination of cantonese and h4ck3r language. See Diu and roxor.
Dude, you're being lame, stop being sucha a diusor.

I was really impressed by the quality of content and the diversity of destinations covered. I've really enjoyed contributing to the site, and continue to use it personally as a resource for my travels.
It's great to see such a wide variety of posts from people of all ages and backgrounds. I've added things to my travel bucket list that I probably wouldn't have considered before. I've also contributed too!
They sent me on a trip to review a surf School in Australia & it was an amazing experience! I learned to surf while indulging in my love of writing. I will forever be grateful for giving me such an opportunity.
The moment I logged on to the site I was in love. I dig the whole idea and was more than happy to put together fun things to do in a city. They let me create whatever I want in whatever style I chose to.
It's a pleasure to be part of this site. It's so simple to share my own stories here! They sent me on a Cruise press trip too and my contributions here have also helped me to grow my own blog, so it's a win, win!
It's a very traveller friendly community. They asked me to write something about Seoul and readers seem to love it! To become one of the contributors is great and I really appreciate the opportunity.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system. It is a chronic condition that can be disabling.
There are several types of MS:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The immune system normally attacks viruses or bacteria that should not be in the body. With MS, a problem with the immune system causes it to attack healthy nerves. In particular, MS attacks the nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves of the eye. The exact cause of these immune problems is unknown.
The following may contribute to the development of MS:
MS is more common in women and in people aged 15-50 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of MS include:
Symptoms may range from mild to severe and may include:
Symptoms may worsen with:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
There is no cure for MS, you can manage the disease with medication, lifestyle changes, and counseling. Treatment will help relieve symptoms, prevent relapses, delay disability, and slow disease progression. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications can help slow progress, prevent new lesions, and manage symptoms.
Types of medications that can slow the progression of MS or prevent new lesions from developing include:
Corticosteroids may be given to reduce inflammation during active phases. This may lessen the effects of the immune system on the nerve fibers and shorten the length of relapses.
Types of medications to help manage symptoms can include:
Other therapies may help relieve some physical and emotional symptoms of MS. Each therapy has unique benefits and potential side effects which may interfere with other therapies you are using. Work with your medical team to help find therapies that work best for you. Supportive therapies include:
Some alternative therapies that have shown some benefits for some include:
Talk to your doctor before you try any alternative therapies.
Individual or group therapy will help you learn coping strategies for physical symptoms and emotional stress.
Some forms of MS have periods remissions that alternate with relapses. Take these steps to help you avoid relapses and worsening of symptoms:
There are no current guidelines to prevent MS.

Royals looking to keep surging in finale against O's
Guthrie faces former club for second time, with series win at stake
The past two days, the Royals have found themselves taking a page out of the 2012 Orioles' book.
Kansas City's 4-3 walk-off win over Baltimore on Wednesday night was the Royals' Major League-leading 36th one-run game this season. While they're only 19-17 in those contests, they've won eight of their last nine and 13 of 18 one-run affairs.
The Orioles know a thing or two about winning those close games, of course. Baltimore went 29-9 in one-run contests last year, the highest winning percentage in Major League history. But the O's have now lost two games in a row by the narrowest of margins, and they'll turn to their most consistent starter to help them get back on track Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez enters the series finale with a club-high eight straight quality starts. His production hasn't declined away from Baltimore, as he's 3-3 with a 2.93 ERA and seven quality starts in his nine road outings this year. The Orioles haven't rewarded his work, however, as they're just 3-6 in those nine games.
One of those three wins came last Saturday in Texas, where Gonzalez allowed one run on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings to pick up his second straight win.
"I started off a little slow and I've been building up during the whole year and that's what counts," Gonzalez said, "and hopefully, I can keep it going to keep our team in ballgames and win some more."
Gonzalez will square off with former Oriole Jeremy Guthrie, who played for Baltimore from 2007-11 and was their Opening Day starter in 2008-09 and '11. This will be his second time facing his former club, as Guthrie gave up two runs (one earned) on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a 6-2 victory at Camden Yards on May 9.
In his last start on Saturday, Guthrie yielded five runs, 10 hits and two walks but escaped with a 6-5 victory over the Tigers as the Royals beat up on Detroit ace Justin Verlander.
Guthrie's 6-2 record at home this year comes in spite of a 4.61 ERA over his nine starts at Kauffman Stadium.
Orioles: K-Rod another late-inning option
New reliever Francisco Rodriguez came to Baltimore with 10 saves and a 1.09 ERA in 25 appearances with Milwaukee this season. He's recorded double-digit saves in nine of the last 10 seasons, including a Major League record 62 with the Angels in 2008, so he's obviously an option for manager Buck Showalter in the final innings.
But how about throwing him into the ninth inning along with closer Jim Johnson? Showalter said he'd treat Rodriguez like Darren O'Day, Tommy Hunter, Brian Matusz, Troy Patton or Jairo Asencio in that regard: K-Rod will close "if it fits."
"I feel comfortable that we have a lot of people capable of doing it. He knows and our guys know what he's here for, and it's another good what if?" Showalter said. "You can't pitch every day, so there are days when a win presents itself and you need to have other weapons."
• The Orioles on Wednesday announced the signing of outfielder Dariel Alvarez to a Minor League contract, a deal first reported last week by MLB.com. Alvarez, 24, will be assigned to Class A Frederick after reporting to Sarasota, Fla.
Royals: Tough stretch almost over
Every manager, coach and player will say that there is no such thing as an "easy schedule" in the Majors, but there's no doubting that Kansas City is about to end a particularly rough patch on its calendar. Thursday's game will conclude the Royals' 20-game stretch in which they played five clubs who entered Wednesday night a combined 50 games over .500: the Orioles, Tigers, Indians, A's and Yankees.
After Thursday's series finale, the Royals will take on the White Sox, Twins and Mets on the road before coming home to once again face Minnesota. All three of those clubs rank fourth or fifth in their respective divisions.
• Left fielder Alex Gordon sat out Wednesday's game -- "Just a day off," manager Ned Yost said -- amid a 2-for-19 slump this homestand and a 12-for-57 skid in July.
Worth noting
• Before the Royals' walk-off win on Wednesday night, the Orioles were 46-4 this season when leading after seven innings.
• Miguel Tejada has hit in nine of his last 10 games, batting .292 (11-for-37) during that stretch.
