Poor Customer Service

Recently I switched phone carriers from Verizon to AT&T.  When I went into the store to change carriers I was greeted promptly.  They were having problems with their system.  I was told they could not activate my number.  But my number was no longer on Verizon either.  I was told it would take about 5 days to activate my number.  Now I had no phone number, it was somewhere lost.  After about 4 hours, they gave me a loaner number.  They kept my sim card, which had all my contacts on it.  When I went in to complete the transaction I started 5 days earlier, my sim card was missing.  AT&T lost my 200 contacts, all they could say was sorry.  I was very displeased with them.  I was told that I would receive a credit on my bill.  I received my bill.  There was no credit, but there was a charge for an extra phone.  I still have not be able to resolve this matter.  My experience with AT&T as an external customer was displeasing.

Here are a few ways AT&T could of handled my situation better:
  • They should of not been careless with my sim card.
  • They should not of took so long to let me know that there was a problem with the system.
  • They should of followed up on making sure I had the appropriate credit on my account.
  • They should of noted that the phone number was on loan and not to be charged to the account.
I will stay with AT&T because I am under contract.  I hope the customer service will improve.
