Customers who complete phone trade-ins within AT&T's required window and have carrier-confirmed delivery receipts still receive penalty charges weeks later, with the carrier claiming non-receipt despite email and tracking evidence. Disputing the charge requires navigating multiple support tiers without resolution, as front-line agents cannot override automated billing decisions. This pattern—charging customers despite documented proof—represents a systemic trade-in dispute failure at scale.
