| reply to CSmaximum Re: [General] Ordering by phone and the internet
said by CSmaximum :Greetings to the good folks here at AT&T forum. So here's my situation. I am moving to a new apartment this month so I called AT&T to order a phone line and the DSL. The person I spoke to was shady from the get-go but I shrugged off and kept along with the ordering process. 1) She requested a deposit, which I have never been asked before. Is this normal? Ever had telephone service from AT&T before? Been a while since I ordered new telephone service, but I recall having to pay a deposit for new service (no payment history with the company).
Now I checked the AT&T website, I notice there is a free router or modem giveaway for the internet order. I even asked her if there was any promotion or special going on and she said no. WHAT THE HELL?? 2) The internet is not up yet. Can I do something about it? like call them and ask them I want to re-order it online or make it like I ordered online etc. ?? My initial order for DSL service was over a dial-up connection with Astragate. So it was an Internet order. Even without DSL service.
I am a poor-groom-getting married here. I need to save this money on the modem seriously.  Is there anything I can do?? Call back and plead ignorance. Tell them, nicely, that you would have placed the order online if you had known about the special deal. If one CSR won't help, say, "Goodbye", hang up, and try again. Or, maybe, somebody will post the number for retention. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
