What are the hours and when should I call?
AT&T U-Verse operates the call center for this 800-288-2020 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-7pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Monday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 632 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the AT&T U-Verse call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this AT&T U-Verse phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like AT&T U-Verse staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call AT&T U-Verse is Wednesday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 39% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 632 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 1588% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call AT&T U-Verse is Monday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that AT&T U-Verse staffs up on Monday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
After noticing that my AT&T U-Verse bill had increased by almost $10 since last year, I decided to call the company to see if they could explain the rise in costs. As a long-time AT&T customer, I usually receive email notices when there are changes to my bill, but I haven't seen one recently.
Upon calling, an automated system gave me the option to choose Spanish by pressing 8 or to stay on the line for English. I was also told that my call would be recorded. Following this, the system asked me why I was calling without offering a menu of options. I wasn't sure exactly what to say but said 'bill increase' to see where that would take me.
The system verified my identity by asking me to confirm the phone number associated with the account. I was placed on hold, allowing the system to access my bill and account. However, I needed to input a four-digit account passcode before proceeding and was placed on another hold. This time, the system said I would be directed to the right department after an estimated wait time of five minutes.
However, the wait was more than five minutes and probably closer to 10. I had considered calling back but didn't want to prolong the call. A representative came on the line and asked how I could be helped. I explained the price increases on my bill within the last year and wanted to find out what caused the rise in cost, adding that I hadn't received any notification of the increase. The rep pulled up my account, asking if I use the online account to make payments and view my bill. I replied yes, and he suggested I log in to my account so I could view the bill plus communications from AT&T.
While I was accessing my account online, the rep shared that internet charges for all AT&T customers increased due to rising expenses and costs across the board. He said this was occurring with all providers, adding that there wasn't much AT&T could do to change or halt the increases. He also showed me where on my bill AT&T placed a notification of the increase. I was able to find this after clicking a few different links, but I explained that I would've preferred an email notification. He understood and apologized for the lack of communication.
I wasn't too thrilled with the bill increase, so I shared with the rep that I may consider other providers offering better deals or lower rates. He tried to share a few bundles with me that could lower my internet cost, but I told him I wasn't interested in switching to AT&T mobile or cable. The call ended after about 20 minutes and helped answer my questions, though the wait time seemed excessive.

Some customer service teams, like that of AT&T U-Verse, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
