So incompetent I just cancelled it outright.
I tried to get AT&T to hook up phone service in my Mom's new assisted living facility. I am running right back to Time Warner Cable for her phone needs, and I left *them* in the first place because they completely dropped the ball on transferring her service. They had one job, show up on time and transfer the service. They failed oh-so-badly. AT&T was worse. Promises were made and deadlines passed. Every time I went to the phone for technical support I was asked for different credentials on the account. Again and again I called either to get my service hooked up or, comically, to get my old number ported over to AT&T. Each time the story was different on why that was not possible. I just wanted a phone hookup for my Mom. No internet, no cable, just a regular phone. You know, one of those things you talk into so someone else somewhere else can hear you. That old fashioned thing that AT&T used to do all the time. Remember those? My mom does. One time, and I have to laugh about this now, the nice lady in the support center took my information, and once she got it verified, she was ready to send me an email summary of the support call. WHAT SUPPORT?!? I JUST GOT ON THE PHONE! AAAAH! Another time, after more than *45 minutes* of working with the tech support person to get this *brand new service* hooked up, she asked me if I had a bill I could refer to. Really? You bill customers before even getting the service hooked up? You can do that? Who knew! The last straw was when I finally got confirmation from them that the service was _finally_ working, I went to the phone (which is functional, hooked up with a cable I verified works, into a jack that worked for the previous tenant) and, yep, you guessed it It didn't work. The phone's LCD screen said 'Check tel line'. I know better than to have one of their technicians come out and check the line. With the level of incompetence I have just endured, there is no telling *what* might happen. I'm gonna get mom two tin cans and a string. Where is AT&T Hiring their support staff nowadays? Unbelievable. Wish I could give 0 stars.
