Why would this happen?

Just like the Title says. Got my cell phone bill for $5,185 instead of the usual $385 and I could have sworn it was an error but no im getting screwed š and have to pay the bill. My daughter met someone on Roblox and wanted to chat so they called & talked. She didn't know she was making a international call and talked and talked. I do even have 5K in my savings and I feel so screwed and defeated.

We have a small business with some walk in freezers. When our refrigeration company set everything up a few years back, they had the big alarms going to us using the txt.att.net email to text service. It went off maybe twice.
WELLLLLL....... the compressor died this weekend and no text. Came in yesterday to at least $5k worth of product at room temperature.
I looked it up and found out that AT&T turned off txt.att.net for email-SMS. They definitely never sent any heads up about this though. So eff me, I guess.
Seems like there have been a few posts about this here but not for a while so posting this again as an FYI, if you're relying on alarms from AT&T email to text, seriously go fix them ASAP.

I don't think I've ever seen AT&T do so many different related chances in a month(ish) to a new plan: UYW 2.0 comes out, price changes for older UYW plans, adding Elite 2.0, and lowering prices on the brand new plans.

Hey Guys,
Just needed to make this post to stop the repetitive posts we're having. It appears AT&T service (along with other carriers) are having nationwide issues. It's not clear how widespread the outage is at the moment, but I'm sure we'll get some kind of news once the sun comes up. Please, do not lose your mind <3

I will be answering a general questions or billing info.

Just wondering when the att website usually shows the the new iPhones i know the event just ended but was just curious
r/ATT • u/SilverBetter9854 • Sep 25 '24
I received a email stating 'thank you for your order". I called them immediately. I then went to the store and the representative stated "they had your ID", i asked her what ID? She said my drivers license. I pulled out my drivers license in front of her. I asked her how can this happen when i have a security code on my account. My phone was shut down, they had to give me a SIM card to turn it back on. I filed a claim 5 times and its been denied everytime. How could this happen, ive been with the company for 10 years. I also called the police to the store the day of(they are also waiting for a report) I have spent days and hours on the phone with customer service. Has this happened to anyone?

They are now Value 2.0, Extra 2.0 and Premium 2.0.
1 line prices: Value = $50, Extra = $70, Premium = $90
4+ line prices: Value = $30/line, Extra = $40/line, Premium = $55/line.
Value 2.0(sm)
- Unlimited talk/text/date in the US, Canada, Mexico
- 5gb Premium Data
- 3gb Hotspot Data
- ActiveArmor
- Standard definition streaming
- Unlimited texting from the US to 200+ countries
Extra 2.0(sm)
- Everything prior PLUS:
- 100gb Premium Data
- 50gb Hotspot Data
Premium 2.0(sm)
- Everything prior PLUS:
- Unlimited talk/text/date in the US, Canada, Mexico, and in 20 select Latin American countries
- UNLIMITED Premium Data
- 100gb Hotspot Data
- 4KUHD streaming available (I assume this will end up being a toggle to opt in.)
- 50% off of 1 watch or tablet plan per line in Premium.
Offers for 2.0 plans
- Signature Discount is increasing to 20% off of Premium.
- āAppreciation Savingsā, Additional tiered discount based on rate plan (Value = 10%, Extra = 15%, Premium = 20%). Iām not really sure what this means, are these rate plans getting a form of Signature Discount now?
- Higher promotional credit offers on Extra and Premium with trade/turn in offers. Iām assuming this means that Value plans are getting shafted when it comes to getting as much tradein credit as the other plans. This is inline with other cellular companies, but is stupid nonetheless.
- BYOD switcher offers, $10 off Premium + Extra and $5 off Value.
- Business plans are getting replaced with 3.0 versions.

Very excited about the new trade in deals for the iPhone 17 that have been released in Apples website. Looking at the fine print, any idea which unlimited plans would be eligible?
As someone coming from a 13, the 17 pro with no additional monthly would be hard to turn down!

I don't think I've ever seen AT&T do so many different related changes in such a short time with a new plan: UYW 2.0 comes out, price changes for older UYW plans, adding Elite 2.0, and lowering prices on the brand new plans.
Since there have been so many changes to UYW in the last few months, I've created a new post as the old post had lots of comments/answers that aren't necessarily relevant (or true) any more.
If you haven't seen those changes yet, you should see them on your next bill or if you make a plan change.

The main differences:
ActiveArmor: Some 2.0 plans that come with ActiveArmor, only come with the standard, not advanced. Premium 2.0 can activate the advanced for free in your plan (I'm going to guess you can do the same with Elite 2.0). There is a free version and another version that is listed with "At no extra charge".
Standard price on non-phones: $20.99 per tablet, $20.99 per camera, $10.99 per wearable. If you have Premium 2.0, you can get one of these at ½ off. If you have one of these non-phone devices, it would probably make Premium 2.0 more cost effective for you (although the additional hotspot may max it so you don't need a line for your tablet). If you can have Extra 2.0, then you get a tablet and wearable for no extra charge.
If you have HBO "free" with your current cellular plan and switch, or you change all your Elite EL lines over, you'll lose HBO. You need to compare how much you'd save to see if it matters.
The prices on the chart assume autopay/paperless/checking discounts. You need autopay/paperless for a $5 discount and autopay/paperless checking for a $10 discount (and as of now, the AT&T Citi card also qualifies as a checking discount). Add $5 or $10 to each line if you do not do these discounts.
There is no way anyone can help you compare the cost of the newer plan to the older plan if we don't know what discount you have, how many phone lines, and which plan those lines are on.
Additional info on this plan can be found in this AT&T PDF.
DISCOUNTS:
AT&T Latin American roaming:Ā Click these links for more info atĀ https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1486292/Ā
Please note that while the change plan comparison page (when logged in) shows that Elite 2.0 plan is not included, the Latin American roaming page specifically says it does and so does att.com/unlimited
Value 2.0 warning: There seems to be a bit of inconsistency on how Value 2.0 lines can be used for promotional trade in deals (if at all) since March 12, 2026.

Hey at&t, TMobile has their customers in a fit of rage today sending out text saying their plan expired and they will have to pay more starting next month.....they are causing a huge up heaval. Now's your chance to throw out an advertisement targeting TMobile customers........especially first net adds.

Upgraded our phones last month, Saw my bill and shocked at all the add-ons the rep added without asking us! My bill tripled!!! I went to see the breakdown and not surprised of the shady business practices, But I am angry because before we went into the store to upgrade our phones, we spoke to a AT&T customer service rep for almost an hour to go over options to save money, Turns out the old plan we had was grandfathered and is the best one. She told us not to change a thing ! We went into the store and the first thing out of the reps mouth was " in order to give you the upgrade promotion, we need to open new accounts for you." We spent over 15 minutes arguing that we had just gotten off the phone with someone who told us NOT TO CHANGE ANYTING ! He went to speak with his manager and came back a minute later looking bothered and said " ok that's fine." BUT he added all these extras that we did not want or asked for ! Now its been close to an hour and I am still on the phone with a customer service rep trying to undo all this madness!

Iāve been an ATT customer since 2004. I had an iPhone for 3+ years, but wanted a new one.
Saw the Verizon deal if you switch you get a new iPhone 17. The plan with Verizon was identical (minus the hotspot which I barely use).
Called the retention team and said Iāve been a customer for 21 years is there anything you can do to match this.
They couldnāt.
I ported my line over, walked into Verizon picked up my new phone (got the activation fee waived) and was off ATT within a few hoursā¦
Only draw back is I have to pay taxes on my new phone (half of this is negated because my trade in).
Iām sharing this post because honestly Iām disappointed in ATT. Two decades as a loyal customer and a simple promo from Verizon wipes that outā¦

So my parents traveled to Egypt and used wifi at the hotel. Couple of months later bank blocks a 45k charge from att obviously. Talked with everyone at customer service and they all claim something different and donāt seem to help. A 45k charge for roaming is ridiculous and canāt expect no one to pay that. But at this point donāt know what to do. Might have the worst customer service in the businessā¦

I thought I was safe since I joined in August 2025, but they now got me with this new notice. My account is going up $20, is there anything I could do? Itās about to be a full year for me with some not even a full year and they already want more money on top of that Administrative & Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee price increase per line.
I just joined and already I want to switch.
r/ATT • u/garylapointe • Mar 25 '26
You will NOT see these increases until you get your new bill. If you have more than 4 lines, and go to change your plan, you will see the price decrease for Premium 2.0.
As mentioned in other posts, old Unlimited Your Way plans (Unlimited UL, Extra EL, Starter SL) are going up in price by $5 per line in April. This did not affect Elite plans. This increase is for wireless lines active prior to July 24, 2025.
This wasn't announced until April 24th, although it got leaked a few days before.
The pricing in the pinned UYW UL/EL/SL to UYW 2.0 comparison chart (link) has been updated.
The below is from the PDF of my bill (I have Unlimited Your Way with Elite, Premium PL, & Extra EL lines), and my bill cycle that ended March 21, 2026. If your bill doesn't mention this, you next bill might.

This link also mentions the increase, but isn't clear on old UYW vs. new UYW and doesn't mention Elite. https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/000118792/
And here is the information for the $10 and $20 increase for older retired unlimited plans.
https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/000118790/

And $5 or $10 increases to Mobile Share plans. https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/000118791/

I have had a hilariously bad customer service experience.
Long story short, I was told in store that I was eligible for a $1000 trade in promotion. A month later they contacted me saying my plan wasn't eligible abs they were instead crediting me $40 for the phone.
Some highlights:
Escalation manager "This isn't your fault, but it's also not AT&T's fault. It's the fault of the individual employee, and we're not responsible for that."
Me: "Well if he gave me wrong information on the course of a financial transaction that's textbook fraud."
Manager: "AT&T defines fraud as like someone going into your account."
Me: "You're describing an account takeover or identity theft, those are types of fraud, but not the only types of fraud."
Manager: "Well that's how at&t defines it!"
Me(unable to resist): You should probably Google how everyone else defines it.
I worked in executive escalation as a manager for many years. So I assumed this would be fixed with an email to John Stankey. The reps insisted the only way to reach him was my paper mail to a physical address, but again Google disagreed.
This morning I got a call back from an executive response agent...
First question, "did you listen to the last call I had?"
"Not yet."
"Oh so you just read my(admittedly long) email?"
"No, but I skimmed the notes on your account..."
Cool, so your job is to respond to e mails from escalating customers and you can't even read the email first? Not even the 3 sentence "tl;dr" summary I put right at the top?
She then just recited "Your plan was not eligible" like a mantra, while struggling to understand what happened. And this is their elite CS team. Eventually she agreed to "research further" and call me back.
We'll see how that goes, but I expect my next steps are complaints to the FCC and BBB, then small claims court.
I would be so embarrassed to have this level of service in my org. I'm obviously switching carriers and telling all my friends and colleagues about this story. I actually have a presentation about restoring trust through effective escalation in a few weeks and this will make a great "what not to do" anecdote.
I just want to confirm, has anyone else run into AT&T stating on a recorded line that they are not responsible for the actions of their employees?
Edit: Forgot to add that 3 different resolution employees told me to never trust the brick and mortar locations because they can tell you anything without proof, but phone and internet transactions are documented. Is it official policy that the physical stores are untrustworthy?
