If you did not provide an email address for email notifications when you purchased your AT&T Home
Base, you can do so at att.com/myatt. Once you have logged on to your account, go to Profile and enter
a valid email address. You will receive email notifications when you are approaching your data plan limit
or if you have exceeded your data plan limit. If you have a limited voice plan, you will also receive
notifications as you are approaching your voice plan limit or if you have exceeded your voice plan limit.
You can also use the AT&T Home Base Manager to check your data plan usage and view data usage
notifications. On any device that is connected to your AT&T Home Base, enter
http://att.wirelessinternet directly into your browser address field. Log in using "attadmin" (or your
customized login). To check your data usage and the days remaining in your billing cycle, go to Data
Used. To view data usage notifications, go to Messages. The "i" light on your AT&T Home Base will blink
green when you have a new notification.
Note: Actual billed usage can be higher than the estimated data usage displayed in the usage meter.
