Place a Test Call
Place a test call from your connected home phone. Make sure to dial the
10-digit phone number, including area code.
For best results, place the cordless phone base at least twelve (12) inches from
the AT&T Wireless Internet device.
Important Phone Tips
• Voicemail is included with your service. Dial 1 to set up and access your voicemail.
If you choose to use an answering machine instead, set it to fewer than four (4) rings.
• To place phones throughout your home, use a cordless phone system with multiple
handsets. Wall jacks are not used with the AT&T Wireless Internet device.
• The second Phone port can be used to connect an additional phone or standalone
answering machine. It uses the same phone number as the first Phone port.
• Your AT&T Wireless Internet device does not support incoming/outgoing fax service
or home alarm systems.
• Your AT&T Wireless Internet device does not support rotary or pulse-dialing phones.
• Details on using voicemail and transferring a landline phone number can be found
on pages 11-12.
