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.
Getting Started
STEP 1: Set Up Your Device

password for security and remote access.
• Transferring a landline phone number can take ve (5) days or more.

plugged into your wall jack to receive calls until your transfer completes.
Check the status of your phone number transfer at att.com/port.
• Your Blender does not support incoming or outgoing fax service.
• Your Blender does not support rotary or pulse-dialing phones.

on your computer and the other end into the Ethernet port on the back of
the Blender device.
For WPS, press and hold the WPS button on the back of your Blender
device for 0.5 seconds. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the

Voicemail
Your Blender comes with standard wireless voicemail. Follow the steps below to
setup and use your voicemail.
Setup
Dial 1on any home phone connected to the Blender and wait four (4) seconds
to connect to your AT&T wireless voicemail. Simply follow the voice prompts to
complete setup. To enable remote voicemail retrieval and for added security be
sure to create a password during setup.
Confirm Network Connection
Go to att.net (or your favorite website) to confirm your Internet connection.
When your device is transmitting to and from the Internet, the Wi-Fi light will
flicker green.
CMessage Waiting
There are two indicators for a new message waiting: 1) the voicemail icon; and
2) an intermittent dial tone.
The voicemail icon on your Blender flashes when a voicemail message is
waiting. You will also hear an intermittent dial tone on any connected phone
handset before placing a call.
Retrieving Messages
To retrieve voice messages, dial 1on any home phone connected to the Blender
and wait four (4) seconds to connect to your AT&T wireless voicemail box. Simply
follow the voice prompts to listen to and manage your messages. (Alternately, you
may dial your 10-digit home phone number to access your voicemail box.)
Remote Retrieval
To retrieve voicemail messages from a phone not connected to the Blender, dial
the number associated with your Blender service. When voicemail picks up, press *.
You will then be prompted to enter your password. Simply follow the prompts to
listen to and manage your voicemail messages.
Transferring a Phone Number
Transferring a landline phone number to your Blender can take five (5) days or
more. Outgoing calls can be made immediately using your Blender, however
incoming calls will continue through your old service until the transfer is complete.
It is recommended that a phone be kept connected to your existing home wiring
or prior service to continue to receive incoming calls until the transfer is complete.
To check the status of your transfer, visit www.att.com/port.
Useful Tip
Go to the Blender Manager at http://att.blender on any connected device to
view messages from AT&T, check your data usage, and customize your Blender
device settings.
