AT&T Номер телефона Bell South Internet

I've been having a lot of trouble with my hotspot lately, and since I pay extra for an active hotspot, I wanted to talk to someone in technical support at AT&T about it. As someone who works from home and is often on the move, I rely on my hotspot when I'm not home. Any deadtime means time I'm not getting paid, which is very serious to me. 

In the past, when I called AT&T, I was able to talk to someone without wasting too much time, so I was hoping for the same thing this time. It partially worked out because I did get to talk to a customer service agent. However, the system didn't cater to those who needed technical support, and my old number was apparently inactive, so I had to call a different number. 

The first number I tried was this one, but even though it led me to AT&T, apparently, it's an inactive number, which probably tells you something about how long I have been a customer. Instead, a prerecorded message said, "Thank you for calling AT&T customer service. The number you have called is no longer in service. If you would like to place an order or talk to someone about our services, please call 1-800-288-2020." I was a bit baffled, but I figured something changed on me and just called the new number. 

That number worked, and almost instantly, an automated assistant said, "Welcome to AT&T. What's the issue you are calling about?" I said, "Hotspot," and it responded, "I see the number you are calling from and used it to look at your account. Is that the account you are calling about?" I responded yes, and then it told me that I could go online to get information to troubleshoot my hotspot. It texted me a message about the information, but I had already looked at online support, and this wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to talk to someone. 

Luckily, following that statement, it said, "What would you like to do next?" This time, I just said, "Talk to technical support." It requested to learn more about my request, and I just repeated "technical support for hotspot," and it told me to hold while it processed my request. I had to listen to a few speeches while on hold, but once the music started, it was just a few seconds before Julian picked up. While he wasn't able to help me with technical support, he listened to what I had to say and transferred me to the right department. Overall, it was a bit of a long ride, but I got the information I needed out of it.
