Home Answering Machines

If you choose not to use the voicemail provided by your AT&T Home
Base, you can use your home answering machine by plugging it into
the "Phone 2" port on the back of your AT&T Home Base.
Then, set your answering machine to pick up calls in fewer than
five (5) rings. Alternately, you can call AT&T Customer Service at
1.866.975.0050 to turn off the network voicemail feature.
