AT&T U-verse Voice, U-verse TV, and U-verse High-Speed Internet Suite
"AT&T U-verse Voice is one more way we're making all of our AT&T services work together for you and connecting you to your world," said Kevin Petersen, vice president and general manager for AT&T's consumer operations in Illinois and Wisconsin. "U-verse Voice uses the power of IP to enhance the calling experience. Just like U-verse TV has changed the way people watch television, U-verse Voice will change the way people use their home phone."
AT&T U-verse Voice Advanced Features
AT&T U-verse Voice has advanced features that go beyond traditional phone service including: a single, combined voice mailbox for AT&T U-verse Voice and AT&T wireless messages with U-verse Messaging, which can be accessed from any phone line or PC; U-verse Central, an online portal to manage call preferences and settings from any PC; an online voice mailbox to check, manage, and forward voice mail from the online portal; the ability to view call logs from your PC or TV screen; the ability to make a call from your PC or TV using Click to Call, which will initiate a call from your home phone to any number in your Call History with one click of a mouse or the U-verse TV remote control; an online Address Book; Locate Me, a feature that provides simultaneous ringing on up to four wireless or landline numbers so you never miss an important incoming call; and more.
AT&T U-verse Voice also includes traditional calling features such as call screening, call blocking, do not disturb, and privacy settings. All U-verse Voice customers will have 911 service; and, where available via the local 911 network, U-verse Voice customers will have enhanced 911 (E911) service.
