Long-term AT&T customers report a gap between sales-promised pricing and actual monthly bills, with services added or charges levied beyond what was agreed.

Telecom Sales Agents Make Unenforceable Pricing Promises That Billing Ignores
Carrier sales agents verbally promise pricing terms to close sales that are never reflected in actual billing, leaving customers with no documented proof or internal escalation path. The absence of a binding point-of-sale commitment record means disputes become the customer's burden to prove. Customers with pricing discrepancies have no lightweight audit trail to support claims.
