Ok, here is what I have been through today.
I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 32GB edition. The ONLY way to get this phone from AT&T is to order it online. No stores carry them in stock. I ordered this through Online Fulfilment (Premier) and had it billed using the AT&T Next program.
The issue I am having with this phone is that when I plug it in to charge, it will suddenly stop charging and will not charge (no matter how many charging cables and sources you try) until you reboot the phone.
I called AT&T Support, they told me to call Premier support, they told me to go to the store. The store told me I had to do it online. I could not find a way to do this online, so I called support again. They, again, told me I had to go through premier who, guess what, told me to go back to the store.
Now, the store is over a mile from where I work. I commute by bus, so having to make the round trip TWICE is a royal pain in the... ****...
The store TRIES to tell me I have to go through the premire line again, but this time I tell them no, they HAVE to do it in store.
Well, they do not carry these in stock in the store, so I have 2 options.
1.I can send it back and wait for a new one. This option is not acceptable as I NEED my phone for family as we have no other lines of communication than mobile phones! It can take up to a WEEK to process everything and get me a new phone.
2.I can pay FULL PRICE for a phone, have them ship it and then get a refund back when they get my old phone back.
Seriously, WHAT??
WHO THINKS OF THIS CRAP!! I have a phone that is FULLY UNDER WARRANTY, but the damn warranty is USELESS.
I have been a loyal AT&T Wireless Customer for almost a decade. I have 5 lines and a data device on my plan. I pay a crap-load of money to these people and get treated like DIRT. This needs to be fixed, and BADLY!!!
