Next Up NEVER ADDED and AT&T wont fix it!!!

Signed up for AT&T almost a year ago and it has been NOTHING BUT HEADACHES. 

At the time I signed up - I wanted Next Up, I even agreed to have it added to my account. I then had to contact AT&T every month as there were issues with my bill but I never noticed that Next Up wasn't on there. 

Fast forward until my friend left my account to be on her own account - and it was at this moment that I noticed that Next Up wasn't added, which started this whole process of me spending hours of my time trying to get someone to listen/recitfiy the mistake that was made at the time I signed up for this god awful phone service.

The last phone call I had was with the "retention department" which basically I was transferred to as I wanted this mistake fixed or I am switching phones. This agents solution was to submit feedback to the president, which I did, last week, and have heard NOTHING. 

This is my absolute last resort before I just pay off my phone, switch to Verizon and sell this phone elsewhere because NOBODY wants to fix this mistake. 

I wonder if someone is ever going to read this or fix it or if it's going to be $800 out of my pocket to switch companies to fix their mistake.

Oh- did I mention I switched to AT&T with a paid off phone that I traded in???? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN!!!!!

Make it right, or lose a customer.

No one can add it to your account now. It was your responsibility to verify everything was correct immediately, not a year later.

Ohhhh so it's my job to make sure that the employees do what they are supposed to do? I was busy correcting the spelling of my name, my correct address, the actual bill (over or under) what they were supposed to be for months, that I must have over-looked this. It doesn't surprise me that a former employee would push the responsibility onto the customer instead of taking responsibility for doing their job correctly.

It is the consumers responsibility to make sure their account is correct……for any type of service, not just cellular 🙄 Why on earth would you think otherwise?

@Lockdowncraziness  is correct.   It's on us to make sure everything is in order.   People make mistakes.  

I once added an old phone on a new line on my Verizon account. The  person who added my new line put it under contract. I read through the paperwork before signing and immediately called this to his attention and Had It reversed.  

If I hadn't, I would have been under a two-year contract with a $350 early termination fee for a phone that I only needed for a couple of months.

Well unfortunately I missed this mistake they made when I found the countless other mistakes they made… and this mistake is going to cost me $800. So I’m frustrated is all.

Lol... How is this going to cost you $800? (Thats not how these deals work)

Next up charges you an extra fee of $90 so you can upgrade early.  You can pay off a phone anytime to upgrade.  You cannot trade in a phone if it's not paid off.  You can sell a phone once it's paid off.  Saving you the $90 and can upgrade anytime you want.  

Next up in a new money scheme to benefit the carrier, not you   

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Buy from the manufacturer.

Trade in with the manufacturer

They made mistakes so I didn't verify everything was correct doesn't seem like a great argument.

More like:

'... there were several mistakes but I'm not gonna check everything cause I trust them'.   NOT

   One error and I'm checking EVERYTHING.  To the dot on the 'i'  to crosses on each 't'

@formerlyknownas 

Thank you for breaking it down - $800 is what the payoff on my phone is without next up - I didn't realize it would be better to pay it off and then sell it was a better way.

But also - it's not that I didn't check everything, I missed it as an oversight. I'm not perfect either, but it (Edited per community guidelines) that they won't rectify their mistake.

It's fine- there have just been too many mistakes since I switched to AT&T. I'm gonna go to Verizon anyways.

I’m having this same issue. Only I wasn’t offered next up when I signed up… most times my service is terrible, which I’ve reached out about. And also, my WiFi isn’t working when I'm not connected to xfinity or something, although I have unlimited..and I’ve also brought that to their attention. I already dropped them as my home internet, &  I’m about to switch companies as well..
