The inside track to contact AT&T execs. And what to do if they won’t listen…
Do you have a problem with AT&T? Maybe they are overbilling you, a salesperson misled you, or they won’t provide an AT&T refund they promised. Now you want the problem fixed.
You can start by trying to reach AT&T on their Main Customer Service line at (800) 331 – 0500 or through their online customer service here.
But if you’re looking for how to contact AT&T, you probably already tried those options, and are looking to contact a real person at AT&T who can actually do something about your problem.
Here are some customer service hacks you can use to contact AT&T at their corporate office and potentially reach a real person:
Representatives here deal with complaints that have been escalated from the lower levels of customer support. If you contact AT&T through Executive Customer Support, you might get them to listen. There can be less of a wait time, and the agents are specially trained to be helpful and expedite your issue.
At this direct line to AT&T’s corporate office you can ask to speak with senior AT&T executives like the CEO or General Counsel (AT&T’s top lawyer). While you won’t get through to a senior executive directly, BUT their assistant will usually transfer you to an escalated customer service process that will prove more proactive than the general customer service line.
(Take caution: some customers have reported hostile and aggressive responses from AT&T when they try this out, but if you are brave enough, go for it.)
When customer service can’t solve your problem, you can file a complaint against AT&T. For a lot of dissatisfied AT&T customers, the next step is to start a legal process.
If you want to sue AT&T and start a legal process, there are two ways:
Begin Small Claims Court proceedings by contacting AT&T at their legal address.
Sending a demand letter to contact AT&T at their legal address is an initial step in the Small Claims process. Instructions for following this process, and what to do after you contact AT&T, can be found here. It often gets customers what they want, but can take some navigation.
Demand Consumer Arbitration from AT&T under your AT&T contract.
Arbitration is a type of dispute resolution that lets you bring your dispute with AT&T to an independent arbitrator. (AT&T’s contract is written to avoid class action lawsuits in regular court).
To initiate arbitration, the first step is to contact AT&T at their legal address with a legal notice. Contacting AT&T to initiate arbitration can get them to act — some customers with severe complaints against companies like AT&T get compensation in the thousands of dollars.
Best of the Best. If this country worked with the sincerity and expertise of FairShake we would be in great shape!
They got more done in a few weeks than I did in over two years.

Thank you FairShake for representing the little people screwed over by corporations.
I was having problems with the company for months. That you could make it resolved in a few days is wonderful.
It's not right what Big Business can get away with if we let them. People need to know someone is out there to help!
