Important Phone Tips
• Voicemail is included with your service. Dial "1" to set up and access.
If using an answering machine, set to fewer than 5 rings.
• To place phones throughout your home, use a cordless phone system
with multiple handsets. Wall jacks are not used with the AT&T Home Base.
• The "Phone 2" port can be used to connect an additional phone or
answering machine. It uses the same phone number as the "Phone 1" port.
• Your AT&T Home Base does not support incoming/outgoing fax service
or home alarm systems.
• Your AT&T Home Base does not support rotary or pulse-dialing phones.
Details on using voicemail and transferring a landline phone number can be
