How It Works
The AT&T Home Base uses the AT&T cellular network to provide phone service to
your cordless and corded home phone(s) and Internet access to your computer
and Wi-Fi enabled devices. Place it anywhere in your home where you have a
strong wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home phone wall jack like
traditional home phone service.
The AT&T Home Base provides many calling services, such as voicemail, Caller
Number ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, and 3-way Calling for your home
phone(s). It also includes a back-up battery in case of a power outage.
Device Installation
Before You Begin
The AT&T Home Base 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 signal from a cell
tower, typically near a window or outside
wall. Signal strength may vary in different
parts of your home.
• Near an electrical wall outlet.
• In the general area where you’ll be using
your home phone, computer, or Wi-Fi enabled devices.
Select which phone and computer/Wi-Fi enabled device you will use with the
AT&T Home Base:
• A cordless phone system with multiple handsets should be used to place
phones throughout your home.
• If using an existing phone, unplug it from the wall jack.
• For Internet access, you may connect up to 10 devices via Wi-Fi and one
via Ethernet simultaneously.
