Getting charged for Mobile Service before it's activated and the phone number hasn't been ported from AT&T

I was told to sign up for mobile service by the agent while calling to setup internet. I was told i would get $500 gift card for switching a carrier on the first line and $300 gift card for the second line after 24 hours I should receive an email.. waited nothing showed up and I let the time go by trying to contact the agent again was not successful... so a month went by no emails for the gift card... I didn't activate the SIM yet, i wanted to make sure I get what I was promised before I switch carrier from AT&T.  Now I checked my online billing account for mobile and I have current charges that not due yet but will be for $80.00 !!! What is this nonsense... first totally lied to get me signed up or didn't provide what was promised and now I have a $80.0 bill that will be charged for phone lines that has not been activated and the number is still under AT&T, not sure what am I paying for!

It has been a horrible experience with customer service... was told the $80.0 would be credited within 24 hours and here I am after 24 hours still nothing in my email.... when reaching out to customer service they have no idea about the 40 minute long call I had yesterday and keep telling me since I have SIM card I have to pay even though I didn't use the service and the phone numbers are with AT&T! Not sure what to do from here...I haven't activated the SIM waiting until the issue gets resolved, but looks like i might get charged for next month as well even though I am paying for AT&T for the same phone lines... this is ridiculous! I haven't even discussed with customer service what happened to the $500 and $300 gift cards that were promised!!!

I’m getting charged for the first month of internet, and I HAVEN’T EVEN ACTIVATED IT. Support is not very useful and most of the time, they make empty promises that they will take care of the deal, then assure you it’s done, and next thing you know, nothing was solved and you have to contact them again 3-4 times. It’s horrible and a waste of time, If it wasn’t because of the internet prices, I would have switched a long time ago.
