Signing up for AT&T business service required over four hours and multiple manager escalations, and still resulted in the wrong phone being shipped. Core features including voicemail, calls, and Bluetooth remained broken for months with no resolution offered. Customer service representatives in offshore support centers routinely disconnect calls rather than resolve issues.

Phones that were never activated cannot be unlocked through AT&T's automated system. Store staff lack the permissions to override it, and phone support routes customers in circles without reaching a human agent who can resolve the issue.
