AT&T: Third Way Is ‘Road To Ruin’

AT&T: Third Way Is ‘Road To Ruin’
In reply comments submitted to the FCC Thursday, AT&T told the commission that its proposal to reclassify broadband transmissions as a telecommunications service subject to some Title II common carrier regs–FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s so-called “third way” proposal” — would be a “road to ruin” based on “incontrovertible” evidence in the public record.

What is the best business calling plan out there besides ATT. Is Voip better? Is vonage a good service to have?

I am trying to choose a better business calling plan because ATT is to expensive. Is Vonage ok? I would need a plan with two lines and a fax line. I dont make a lot of long distance calls. I would need to have it advertised.

Answer by hisChamp
I’ve had Vonage since January 2006 without any complaints or problems whatsoever. I have the unlimited .99 plan and love it. I can also send a fax by having the unlimited monthly plan very easily. They have excellent customer service too.

AT&T CallVantage Service VoIP Telephone Adapter

• Unlimited local and nationwide calls, including, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands; low monthly rate
• Caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling
• 250-number phone directory, 9 speed dials
• Talking voicemail-to-email call forwarding; 60-day call log
• Competitive international rates, web-based directory assistance, reverse lookup

Amazon.com Product Description AT&T CallVantage^sm Service from AT&T is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone service that utilizes the latest in Internet technology to deliver features that are beyond the means of traditional phone companies. With VoIP, calls are transmitted over the Internet, allowing you to communicate nationwide for a single monthly fee. You pay additional charges only for international calls, which are billed at competitive prices. (AT&T CallVantage Service treats calls to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada as domestic calls.) Plus, AT&T’s Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) provides high voice quality.

AT&T CallVantage Service offers easy 1-2-3 hardware setup: 1. Plug phone cord and computer cable into adapter. 2. Plug adapter into broadband modem. 3. Log onto Personal Call Manager and open your account.

AT&T CallVantage Service is easy to set up. To establish an account, just follow the instructions on the welcome letter, included in the box. Setting up the hardware is also very simple: just plug the telephone adapter into your existing phone and plug the other end into your cable or DSL modem. All DSL and cable modems with an Ethernet port and at least 90 Kbps upstream and downstream speed are supported, as well as both Windows computers and Macs.

In addition to the standard features you expect from your traditional phone company, like caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, and call forwarding, AT&T CallVantage Service provides a number of features made possible only by use of Internet Protocol technology. You can have voice mail forwarded to your e-mail inbox as an attachment, and then forward that attachment to relevant third parties. You can take your home area code with you when you travel, so your family or work can reach you without paying long-distance rates. And, with an elaborate variation of call forwarding known as “Locate Me,” you can maintain a list of places you’ll be visiting; when you’re out, AT&T CallVantage Service will ring them in sequence (or all at once) until it finds you.

Accessible either by phone or the Internet, the Phone Feature Manager provides access to a phone directory that can store up to 250 numbers, to call logs (incoming and outgoing for the last 60 days), and to many of your other phone settings. A reverse lookup feature lets you access the name and address information of an incoming caller, while the add-to-Phone Book feature lets you move any number from your call log to your Phone Book with the touch of a single button. A display-and-dial feature lets you easily call any number displayed in either your call log or Phone Book, and you can set up to nine speed dial entries. Taken together, that’s a lot for a phone service to do. With all the features that AT&T’s CallVantage Service makes possible, you can simplify and organize your communications like never before.

What’s in the Box
A telephone adapter for use with AT&T CallVantage Service, a 12-volt, 1-amp DC power adapter, a telephone line cord, an Ethernet cable, manuals, and service and promotional information

Terms and Conditions
Buying this item signifies your intention to sign up for AT&T CallVantage Service and to pay a monthly subscription fee. For details about how the Service works and for complete terms and conditions, visit www.att.com/amazon.

Voice phone service is out but DSL is working. AT&T can’t find problem. What now?

Our voice service went out suddenly with no symptoms. This is just normal, ordinary land-line service and not VOIP or Skype or any Internet calling service. It was fine yesterday, but this morning it was stone dead. DSL works just fine. This is a “shared” line with DSL and voice on the same number, and it has worked great for several years. Until this morning, anyway…

The service tech could not find a problem with the line, nor with our equipment inside the house. All the jacks are good. All of our phones are okay (not broken). We tried resetting all devices like fax machine, the answering machine, and all phones, the modem, the router… everything. No luck. We checked all inside wires for breaks or loose connections. All good. We checked the DSL filters, and tested with a new filter just in case a filter has crapped the bed. Still nothing. We tried to hook up a phone to the outside “drop box”, but the problem persisted even there– no dial tone, can’t receive calls, can’t place calls, etc. So the problem is not inside the house. I tried to ask my duplex-neighbor if his service is out, too, but he’s an arrogant jerk who won’t answer the door even though I know he’s home and awake. That’s just par for the course with this guy. None of my other neighbors that I could talk to have LL service (they use cellphones instead) so they are no help in determining whether it’s just our house that has issues, or if there’s a larger problem. Anyway…

When anyone tries to call us, they get a weird recording asking for the 10-digit phone number. When they enter our phone number, the recording says that the number is not recognized. According to the call center, this is a symptom of a line problem on AT&T’s end, yet the field techs can’t find a problem on the line either. However, our DSL service works just fine. They are on the same number. In fact, I can hook a voice phone to the DSL side and make calls, but there is DSL interference and we cannot hear much over the digital signals.

Before anyone asks the obvious– yes, the bill is paid. No, it wasn’t paid late. If that were the problem, we would not have DSL service.

So, AT&T can’t find a problem in or out of the house, and we have no voice phone service other than our cellphones. This is a real problem, considering that I have dozens of resumes and job applications floating around with my home number as a contact. Further, we have no direct 9-1-1 access. Calling 9-1-1 here from a cellphone is likely to get you to an operator in Oklahoma or Iowa, and we are in Texas. TG I have the “old fashioned long number” for emergency services!

So, what should we do now that AT&T cannot find a problem on their lines OR in our house? Going cell-only IS NOT an option for us, for several reasons.

If I connect a Cisco IP Phone 7940, to my home at&t landline (not IP) will it be able to make/ receive calls?

I have the IP phone, but I do not have voIP at home, I have the landline service through at&t.
