Trying to cancel internet dial up

I have tried to cancel my dial up service -- ATT says I cannot do this online and to call a 800 number. but that number is not for my area so after being jumped around for over an hour I am asked to call back in 4 or 5 DAYS. WHAT?? four or five days? sounds like a stall tactic to me. So I call anyways to be on hold for 2 hours and then the phone disconnects from ATT's end!

 

nice, ATT, real nice.

 

So now either I cancel my auto payment or keep trying to cancel. Yuo know i this day and age no one should have to go to this lenght to cancel something.

I've had my att.net email address for over over 14 years now. Originally I actually had and used the "dial up" service, but with the evolution of the internet and my moving to a state not supported by AT&T, I switched to other internet access methods but kept using my att.net email address. AT&T started charging me $4.95, then $5.95, then $7.95, then $10.95, and now $12.95 per month just to keep my email addresses.  This same service is free from most other providers.  I suspect I'm getting billed because AT&T thinks I'm getting "dial up" service, which I do not.  Yesterday I spent over 6 hours being bounced from call center to call center trying to "cancel" my dial plan (per email received 2/26) to no avail. How can I cancel any "dial-up" feature or association from my account and just use my att.net email address as a free service, especially since I'm also getting advertising, which I do not want and cannot disable?

I received a call from Jeff Harmon from the Appeals & Escalation Team.    When I inquired about a refund retroactive to when AT&T changed their policy (i.e. keeping your AT&T email address and not paying for the dial-up service) sometime in November, 2012, Mr. Harmon offered a 3-month refund.  He also cited an internal memorandum which indicates AT&T' policy changed in 2011.  I made several calls to AT&T over the past 5 years and repeatedly told I had to keep paying for the dial-up service.  I NEVER received any notice from AT&T advising their policy changed.  Therefore I am seeking a refund retroactive to 2011 and Mr. Harmon's offer of a 3-month refund is unacceptable.

 

I am filing a complaint with AT&T's legal department.  You can find the form at this link (http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB72595&cv=820) or read the TERMS OF USE information.

Can some one tell me the process to cancel AT&T Dial-Up service? I like many others have gone through the many price changes just to keep email service. At this point $17.95 a month is too much for a service generally free elsewhere. I just want to stop it. Thanks

So, I've got the same issue.  Old dialup service that hasn't been used in YEARS.  What is the process to get this canceled?  Obviously none of the 800 customer service numbers know how to accomplish this simple task....or you sit on hold for hours.

Come on....can't be that hard to provide good customer service and keep us happy.

Please state what needs to be done to get this accomplished.

 

Note moderators..I've seen many ask for:

Full Name:

AT&T Account Number:

Name on Account:

Preferred Contact # or Email:

What type of service (Uverse, DSL, Landline, Wireless):

Description of Issues:

 

HOWEVER....as many users have stated, no account number is tied to my dial up service...I just get directly billed to my credit card.

Thanks

I, too, like all the rest have been paying years for a dial-up service I have not used in over a decade. I was told that with dial-up cancellation, I would lose all email and subaccounts. I have recently tried to deal with his issue over the phone but not one rep can find my account, yet I am billed month after month. Online, listed with myATT is my dial-up internet service. I can see my primary and subaccounts emails, but no account information, account number or billing statements are available. From the numerous posts above, others have had similar problems and been able to resolve these issues. It shouldn't be such a hassle. Hopefully, a supervisor will see this post and come to my rescue.
