They go in & "do sweeps on accounts to confirm the customer is being billed the maximum charges possible, if not, the 'computer' makes the adjustments(programmed by at&t staff) and the customer is obligated to pay the charges with or with or without the customers consent or notifications the changes have been put into place" that came from Matthew, the District Manager from the Ohio office on 07/08/2010. Brandon Haynes from level 4 intensive care called me, 2 weeks after a request, I was told he would call the same day of the request, & he was so rude, basically told me.."You signed a contract lady and you are stuck with it so suck it up and get used to it, we will do whatever we want and you will have to take it"...nice :)Hey Brandon...forget something???? Customers are why you are there!!!</p> AT&T always blames someone or something else for over billing.

Regarding the roaming charges ATT gets splits the charges by default so it is programmed in all their telco switches. It is lots of slush funds ATT makes from government agencies who do not check their bills all the time... more power to ATT.. it is above any local or state rulings..</p> AT&T uses third-party for billing purpose so they are one degree away from any direct blame.
