Useful Tips
• 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 “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.
• Your AT&T Wireless Home Phone device does not support
incoming or outgoing fax service.
• Your AT&T Wireless Home Phone device does not support
rotary or pulse-dialing phones.
