I have theory and I love anomolies.
The theory is as follows. ATT employees do not notate the account in order that ATT does not have to honor what is said to its clients. A user must request to have someting notated and then request the customer service person repeat the notation to the account back to client.
I truly can not even begin to account for how many times I have been lied too by ATT. I have called in again and again only to hear something compeltely different or fall under the cowardice of " sorry I do not see that in notated in the account"
For example: Today. I called in wondering why my account was still being billed when it should have been placed on suspension while I am out of the country. Then just before I left the country. my phone was lost/stolen and I called in to have the EMEI discontinued.
Neither of these things took place. The answer by the "Senior Floor Supervisor" Ken Green was to the effect that " he doesn't see the notes so he can not account for this".
How is a customer service suppose to be upheld if the simpliest action is not taken place?
Futher. The only part that can disable a EMEI number is the insurance company? Why does a company like ATT sell phone if they are not able to cease communications on thier own system?
It seems a little stupid that a company who sell you a phone and phone service cannot stop the phone from being used. Rather the insurance company are the "group" that stops the phone service. Remember the insurance company are the people who are sending you a refurbished model of the same phone. Weither refurbished model works or not is also subjective.
But the point here is not the refurbished model or the insurance company. The point is the inattentiveness to what is said by the customer service representitive. A customer representitive who will disconnect the call if they do not know how to answer the question.
A $25 credit was offered. \/\/ T F ? I simply want what the ATT terms of service state for those who are travelling out the country.
1. I am out of the country.
I want a reduced suspension ( My bill goes to $10 a month while I am out of the country.)
To have my phone suspended and still pay the full cost is stupid.
And I am not paying for these peoples mistake. It is not my job to take notes about the
clients accounts that pay for a service for the company that I work for.
2. I want what is offered and stated to me to be notated and upheld.
I pay for a serivce ( you pay for a service) the least these people can do is their job.
I am tried of apologies, I am tired of being made to call repeatedly and spend 2 -4 hours trying to get one person who can "almost" do their job. This company customer service is a joke. the actual service is relatively good, but the employees in customer service are of the worst quality.
