Customers switching to AT&T who need to merge accounts within the AT&T system face a 12+ hour ordeal across phone support and physical stores, with representatives unable or unwilling to complete the process. This onboarding failure for new customers who left other carriers is a severe structural breakdown in AT&T's account management systems. It creates immediate regret and churn risk for newly acquired customers.

A customer forced to switch to AT&T due to rural coverage gaps found the online activation portal non-functional, then spent 3.5 hours across three separate calls, including a rep with a broken headset, before finally getting the phone activated. The failure of the self-service activation flow pushes otherwise-avoidable volume onto phone support.
