When you see an AT&T representative at your door, proceed with caution. Recently, AT&T sales personnel have been making rounds, enticing potential customers with seemingly unbeatable deals on their phone plans. However, many of these offers may come with strings attached that could make them less appealing than they initially appear. AT&T salespeople have been offering plans that claim to be cheaper than existing options. For example, one customer was offered a plan of four unlimited lines for just $115 a month, down from their current $130 monthly bill. This attractive pitch included the promise of multiple new iPhones, which the salesperson claimed would belong to the user after just 10 months.
However, a seasoned user in AT&T's online communities quickly debunked this claim, indicating that the real requirement involved a 36-month commitment instead—a significant extension from the salesman's assertion.

Additionally, skeptics have pointed out that the quoted monthly rates may not account for the inevitable taxes and hidden fees that come with any mobile plan. This watering down of AT&T's offers means they may not be as remarkable as initially advertised. Critics argue that the 10-month timeline is deliberately misleading, likely crafted to help salespeople secure their commission before the chargeback period begins. This recent shift in AT&T's sales approach seems to pressure employees to push unattractive plans onto consumers. Therefore, if and when an AT&T representative arrives at your doorstep, do your research and read the fine print before making any decisions.
