Possible Solution
• Make sure there is AC power to the AT&T Wireless Internet
device. Do not connect to an AC outlet controlled by a
wall switch.
• Make sure your AT&T Wireless Internet device is powered on.
Slide the On/Off switch to the ON position. The Power
light should turn solid green.
• Make sure your cordless phone has power and is connected
properly to the AT&T Wireless Internet device.
• Move the AT&T Wireless Internet device to an area with
sufficient network signal (three [3] to four [4] bars).
• Like all wireless services, only the calling number is displayed
with Caller ID.
• Your home phone may support the display of names stored
in its contacts memory.
• Set your answering machine to pick up calls before four (4)
rings, so that it picks up before the network voicemail service.
• Alternatively, have network voicemail removed from your
account by calling AT&T Customer Care. Dial 611 from your
connected phone, or dial 1-800-331-0500 from any phone.
