AT&T with New VoIP Service in the Works
By Johanne Torres, TMCnet Contributing Editor
It seems like AT&T might be getting ready to launch a new VoIP calling service. Dubbed U-verse Voice, the service would be bundled into a triple-play package of services for its U-verse customers. These customers currently receive DSL access and digital television services.
Preliminary information about the service was only made available online to U-verse customers on their Yahoo! welcome Web page this week. According to the information posted on the page, in addition to lower cost calling, the service will also feature integrated caller ID which will appear on the television screen; and integrated home phone/Cingular ( News - Alert) Wireless messaging which will be accessible from any PC and telephone. The service's official launch date is yet to be known.
The VoIP Minute Watch will keep you posted on more information regarding this news, so stay tuned!
