Getting Error while managing plan: User is not eligible to change or add U-verse service at this time

Hi @deriquez,

Let's get the help you needed. I understand your concern.

Tips to help you fix the issues.

1. Have multiple IDs for your accounts? Like one for wireless and another for AT&T Internet? Make sure to use the right ID with the right account.
2. Sign in with your user ID and password. Be sure to delete any IDs you’ve saved first.
3. Restart your device, then open the my AT&T app.
4. Delete the my AT&T app1 from your smartphone or tablet.
5. Download the latest myAT&T app:
   • Go to att.com/myattapp on your smartphone or tablet.
   • Or text my ATT to 556699 from your wireless device. We'll send you a link, so you can download the app.
   • Install the app, then open it and sign in.
6. Make sure you’re using the latest app version on your device. To learn more about your OS, go to Device Support. We supported these OS versions:

• iOS® 12.1 or later
• Android® 7.0 or later

Additionally:

1. Go to your myAT&T account overview.
2. If you have more than one account, choose the one you want to change. 
3. Select Change or manage my plan.
4. Follow the prompts to finish up.
   
   You can use got to U-verse TV plan to check for the different plans that we have.

Please get back to us if you have any other questions or queries.

I hope the above information helps!

Thank you,

Justin, AT&T Community Specialist.

None of these suggestions work.

I only have one AT&T. It is the primary account.
I freshly installed the MyAT&T App which I had never used before. Signed in and navigated to the area where I can change my TV plan. Once I click change plan it loads for a while then just kicks me back to the account overview screen.

I have tried multiple browsers on multiple computers to login to my AT&T account and change my TV Plan. On them all the account site runs very slowly and when I attempt to change my plan I always get the same error:

User is not eligible to change or add U-verse service at this time. Please try again later.

I received the same error today (2/20/2024) when trying to upgrade my package.  Did you find a resolution?  Thanks. Chris

@kavris8307 No. I have talked to chat support twice so far.

Once they just said it's a "global issue"  an to try again later. I gave it a few days and it still didn't work.

I tried a chat support a second time and was promised that the "backend  team" was working on it and it would be fixed in an hour. It still doesn't work for me.

I was looking into switching to a streaming cable alternative and this may just be the final nail in the coffin.

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with this issue @deriquez , but thank you for the update.  My situation is the opposite.  I transitioned to the basic line-up in the fall after baseball was over.  I was trying to increase my channel line-up because there are a few shows I miss.  A couple theories I thought.  Maybe there is an error because my statement was created and I have yet to pay that bill...outstanding  balance.  Then I thought maybe for  some reason my last change (in the fall) did not get completed fully in the system.  Sounds like no one knows where the error is originating.  :( Thanks again for the quick response. 

I get this same error trying to modify my U-verse TV package. It also will not allow me to change my TV Plan on the myATT app (iOS). I first encountered this issue about 3 weeks ago. Is there any plan to fix? I'd like to be able to compare TV packages to see if it's worth changing to a different package.

Same problem here - exact same error message - been getting it for a week.  Hmmm - could this be deliberate?  Trying to make it as difficult as possible to cancel or downgrade?  Naahh - they'd *never* do that would they?  ;-)

I called and processed my change with customer service over the phone without a problem.  I was adding channels though.  I had downgraded in October 2023 online without a problem and incurred this issue when trying to add channels back to my plan.

Channel 9910 should show options and pricing…

You can only upgrade using channel 9910, any downgrade of plan or options require calling 800-288-2020.

If have u450 includes HD channels, all other plans HD is a $10 per month option. Thus if downgrade U450 to U300 for savings will only have STANDARD channels (3 digit), if desire to keep HD channels (4 digit) need to add HD option.

Uverse IPTV was always STANDARD definition with $10 option. At one point in time they added ALL IN(cluded) price tier which in essence took the $10 option line charge and moved to the package price… example from years ago, U200 $89 with HD $10 total $99 on bill if new subscriber ordered U200 ALL IN the charge was $99 without seeing HD optional charge on bill… still paid extra for HD but did not see as separate charge. Any downgrade of service is downgrading to the STANDARD plan.
