Directv account shows streaming service that was cancelled not new Satellite service.
I have been an Att customer for close to twenty years. Back in 2018 I tried the Directtv streaming service, but soon canceled it for Uverse. Six months ago I moved and Uverse wasn’t available, so I signed up for Directv satellite. The tech sat it all up. I didn’t have to log in or create an account. I had originally signed up using my cell phone number so I thought it was connected to my account. I had also sat up auto pay. Then I tried to purchase a movie using the app. Logging in using my cell phone number simply says I have no tv service and logging in with my email shows the old streaming service. I had the same results logging in on line. The first time I called customer service they couldn’t understand the issue. Tonight they told me they could see my satellite service on the account but I was using the wrong Id to log in. I told them the only ids I have are my cell phone number and email. They said they couldn’t give me the Id or even tell me how to get the id and I would have to speak to a different department. After another wait on hold, they told me they were the wrong department! They offered to pass me on to someone else, but I declined. I’m really confused. How many ids can we have and how can I get this fixed!

There was definitely some mixup while signing up. Since AT&T and DIRECTV are now separate companies (TPG owns 30%) that could explain your issue. You can try calling DIRECTV (number in my greeting below) and saying ‘sign-in help’ to the robot. If that agent doesn’t assist, you can ask for the retention/loyalty department and threaten to cancel. More experienced agents work for retention. (direct way to them is calling and saying ‘cancel’ to the robot)
If you intended on cancelling, since you’ve only had DIRECTV satellite for ~6 months, there is still a year and a half ($360=$20x18 months) left on the contract.
