  6. If you choose not to use voicemail, you can connect your home answering machine. Plug the Phone cable from your answering machine into the Phone 2 port on the back of the AT&T Wireless Internet. Set your answering machine to pick up calls in fewer than 4 rings.
    Note: The Phone 2 port uses the same phone number as the Phone 1 port. Alternately, you can call AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 to turn off the network voicemail feature.
