Requested cancellation is not processed properly
Hello, i did request ATT to cancel my entire account with two phone line on it, on Jan 25th and Support person said he will do one by one and confirmed he marked both the lines will be cancelled on 28th Jan 2023. Since ATT do not send confirmation email or provide confirmation number for the call we made, there was no way i could see what he did. Only on 30th Jan, i came to know he cancelled only one line and left another without cancellation. Now i called ATT again on 30th i was told it was missed during cancellation and i do not have anyother option other than get it cancelled at end of current cycle and i have to pay for the same. Now i am being tricked to pay additional bill. Does not sound fair.

At&t does send email confirmation to the email on file. Either your email on file is not current, or you didn't check your emails to see that you may or may not have gotten confirmation of cancellation. Each line does have to be done individually and confirmed.
Phone lines that you intend to port to another service provider should not be canceled. If you want to keep your phone number you have to port it out which cancel service. If you cancel before you port you will lose your phone number.

I do receive email on plan update or billing update, so my email address is correct in the file. When i cancelled att customer support said i will not receive email confirming the cancellation. I double checked my promotions and spam folder and i didn't receive any email

That wasn't right. And not to be trusted.
File a Better Business Bureau complaint online. The complaint is forwarded to AT&T upper management and someone will call you

@ATTHelp one of my problem of getting the line cancelled is solved, but the latest bill includes service fee for current month, which ideally should not have happened. Please look into it.

@RajeevSavarimalai
Just an FYI, your final month's bill is not prorated. So if you cancel even one day into a new bill cycle you are billed for the entire month.
It's SOP. Required by all providers

@formerlyknownas agree. But what happened was i did request to cancel two of my line before end of previous cycle and only one was cancelled in previous cycle and one line was let continue to next cycle. That was clearly a mistake done by the ATT customer retention team who perform cancellation. Since there was no communication on cancellation i learnt the mistake by ATT only after one day into the new billing cycle. Now just looking for credit for the mistake done by ATT.
