Starting tomorrow, AT&T Wireless Home Phone & Internet is available nationwide. Customers across the U.S. will be able to get Wireless Home Phone & Internet and enjoy more flexibility with their home phone and Internet service, all while keeping their budget in check.  

• How does it work? AT&T Wireless Home Phone & Internet allows customers to complete calls from their existing home phone handset using the AT&T wireless network—which covers more than 99% of all Americans— instead of a landline connection. This means that you have the option to keep your existing home phone number and handsets, and take your Wireless Home Phone & Internet device called “Home Base” with you on vacation, to a remote work location, second home, or any other location in the United States where there is an AT&T wireless connection. In addition, you get mobile Internet service (including access to 4G LTE where available) by connecting up to 10 Wi-Fi capable devices such as tablets, smartphones and laptops, all in one device.
• And the set-up is easy: Just locate an area within your home or office with a good cellular signal, plug your Wireless Home Phone & Internet device (Home Base) into an electrical outlet, connect your existing corded or cordless home phone equipment into the device – and you’re all set! 

Our nationwide expansion of Wireless Home Phone & Internet service is another way we’re working around-the-clock to provide more value. Wireless Home Phone & Internet customers can add their device for $30 a month to a Mobile Share Value plan with 10 gigabytes or more of shared data and get unlimited nationwide calling. Customers can also add World Connect Value for $5 a month and get penny-per-minute calling from the U.S. to Canada, Mexico and more than 35 other countries.

With Wireless Home Phone & Internet service, you can get the perks of 4G LTE mobile broadband access and more affordable home phone service, all in on device. With access to a wireless network that covers more than 99% of all Americans, for customers seeking great value and more flexibility, AT&T Wireless Home Phone & Internet service is a win-win.
