I called AT&T on Tuesday evening with my father in the same room. But he let me conduct my business and helped only when needed. The purpose of this call was to inquire about cancelling my land line in an attempt to cut the cost of service for me and my neighbor across the hall. I spoke with someone named Marty who was very helpful and courteous. He actually was able to get me a reduced cost for both phones, so I ended up keeping the land line. Marty informed me that a technician was being dispatched and would come to my apartment yesterday to install the new service. This is exactly what happened. Martin was the technician (different person), and he did an excellent job with everything. He was very responsive to my needs as well.

About a year or so ago I was having trouble with my apartment phone, so I called AT&T customer service. I didn't actually speak to a human being, but the automated system which took my call was very helpful. I was given the option of using either the voice recognition feature or keying in my selections. I chose voice, and it worked out very well. I made the call after business hours so no live person could help me, but I was told this by the automated system. So the next morning I called back and spoke to a very friendly and patient representative who took down my information. After testing my land line and being unable to resolve the problem, she told me that a technician was being dispatched to my location. He called later that day to let me know he was on his way. He was very friendly and told me exactly what the problem was. The next day another technician came out and took care of the problem out back. Then I got a call a day later to ask me if things were fixed. The AT&T webmail service is also very accessible. Once I signed in a few days ago, I clicked on a link to de-activate automatic page refreshing.

While in the store waiting for service, a hearing impaired woman came in and very quickly an employee who knew sign language came up to assist her. I was impressed that the store had someone who could assist the customer.
