Do you qualify for U-verse Voice Self Installation?
• Do you have existing U-verse TV or High Speed Internet service?
• Do you have a monitored home alarm?
If you have a monitored home alarm, you will need professional installation by an AT&T
Technician and are not eligible to use the Self Installation option.
Customers eligible for self installation who select this option will be shipped an installation kit to their
home address (shipping & handling charge applies). The installation kit will contain all of the necessary
equipment and access to our Online Interactive Assistant for easy, step-by-step instructions.
Installation Options
We offer two installation options to choose from depending on your home's layout.
Both options require the use of a battery backup-up unit which is supplied in the kit. Please refer
to the battery backup-up information on our website for additional details.

receive your installation due date when you place your order or check your U-verse Voice
