Set up Voicemail and Additional Phones

Voicemail is included with your service. Dial “1” to set up and access. If you choose to use an answering machine instead, set it 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 Wireless Home Phone.

Useful Tips

• Transferring a phone number can take up to five (5) days. During that time, you can make calls immediately on your Wireless Home Phone base. However, you must keep a phone plugged into your wall jack to receive calls on your old service until your transfer completes. Check transfer status at www.att.com/port.

See page 12 for details on transferring a landline phone number.

• The “Phone 2” port can be used to connect an additional phone or stand-alone answering machine. It uses the same phone number as the “Phone 1” port.
