  • Hey AT&T, for a client that pays $350+/month for service, you sure treat me like shit. #attsucks #
  • @tbridge: Even if they are not listening, it makes me feel better to call them out. Fuckers. #attsucks in reply to tbridge #
  • Our December payment is past due. AT&T can see I am traveling. How about an email telling me I am late. Been with you 10+ years. Nothing. #
  • Sent the bastards (AT&T) $800 for December AND January (forced pre-pay). You better turn these phones back on. We cannot work. #attsucks #

  • I lied, a little more on AT&T: @Aaron416 – their customer service does monitor Twitter, probably not on weekends. #attsucks #
  • @lderezinski @gtcaz: We added international data plans on both phones before we left, and have not received a lot of texts. #attsucks #
  • @jonto: Thanks for the link Jaime, I will read on the plane. Thought we had all bases covered, Heuer travels international a lot. #attsucks in reply to jonto #
  • @e5095: Agree with @jacobm – leaving AT&T, and possibly Apple soon. this is no way to treat a customer. #attsucks #
  • And with that, I am done. <steps off soap box> #attsucks #
  • @secretsushi: No carrier is perfect, but AT&T did not plan well & has not done much <visibly> to better coverage for iPhone users. #attsucks in reply to secretsushi #
