How It Works
AT&T Blender uses the AT&T cellular network to provide phone service to your
corded or cordless home phone(s) and Internet access to your computer and
Wi-Fi capable devices (if subscribed to a data plan). Place it anywhere in your
house where you have a strong wireless signal. It does not require the use of a
home phone wall jack like traditional home phone service.
AT&T Blender provides many calling services, such as voicemail, Caller ID, Call
Waiting, Call Forwarding, and 3-way Calling for your corded or cordless home
phone(s). It also includes a back-up battery in case of power outage.
Device Installation
Before You Begin
Blender works exclusively with the AT&T
cellular network and DOES NOT use your
home’s phone wall jacks.
Your device should be located:
• Where you have a strong cellular signal
from a cell tower, typically near a window
or outside wall.
• Near an electrical wall outlet.
• In the general area of your home where
you’ll be using your home phone,
computer or Wi-Fi capable devices.
Select which phone(s) or computer(s)/Wi-Fi capable device(s) you will use
with Blender:
• You may connect up to two phones.
• 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.
