INSTRUCTIONS & INFO
- AT&T Wireless Home Phone works exclusively with the AT&T cellular network and DOES NOT use your home phone wall jacks. Your device should be located where you have a strong cellular signal from a cell tower, typically near a window or outside wall, and near an electrical wall outlet.
- Transferring a phone number can take about four days, so you should keep a phone plugged into your wall jack to receive calls on your old service (including 911) until your transfer completes. However, you can make calls immediately on your Wireless Home Phone device. Check transfer status at att.com/port.
- The following table describes what device status the LEDs indicate.
- The Wireless Home Phone device has a battery in the event of a power outage with talk time of approximately 4 hours depending on environmental factors.
