AT&T Marks One Year Anniversary of U-verse TV in South Florida with U-verse Services Available to More than 1 Million Florida Living Units.
Marking the one year anniversary of giving South Floridians real choice in television service with the 2008 launch of AT&T U-verseSM TV, AT&T* announced the availability of AT&T U-verse Voice in parts of Miami-Dade and Broward counties. AT&T also announced today that U-verse TV and Internet services are now available to more than one million living units across the state – just one year after launching in Florida.
AT&T U-verse Voice brings together your home phone, wireless, broadband and TV services – all on one bill – with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control.
“The expansion of our IP-based services further demonstrates AT&T’s strong commitment to roll out new technology to our state’s residents,” said Marshall Criser, lll, president, AT&T Florida. “Our deployment of U-verse Voice is an integral part of the major investment that AT&T has delivered in Florida as a result of progressive reform legislation that was supported by former Representative Trey Traviesa and state Senator Mike Bennett and signed into law by Governor Crist.”
AT&T U-verse Voice is a managed IP-based service that is delivered over AT&T’s fiber-rich network. This allows U-verse Voice customers to enjoy great sound quality and reliability, as well as unmatched calling features that combine with your AT&T U-verse TV, broadband and wireless services. Customers benefit from a single, combined voice mailbox for AT&T U-verse Voice and AT&T wireless messages; U-verse Central, an online portal to manage your call preferences and settings from any PC; an online voice mailbox; the ability to view your call logs from your PC or your recent incoming calls on your TV screen; the ability to initiate a call from your PC or TV using Click to Call; and more. All U-verse Voice customers have 911 service.
“AT&T U-verse Voice is one more way we’re making all of our services work together for you and connecting you to your world,” said Rich Guidotti, vice president and general manager, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets South Florida. “We are thrilled to offer this innovative service to our South Florida customers and make the AT&T U-verse experience better once again. Just like U-verse TV has changed the way people watch television, U-verse Voice will change the way people use their home phone.”
U-verse TV customers can choose from two flexible U-verse Voice calling plans. U-verse Voice Unlimited includes unlimited nationwide minutes to any location in the U.S., Canada or U.S. territories for $30 a month, and U-verse Voice 250 includes 250 Call Anywhere minutes to any location in the U.S. or U.S. territories for $25 a month.
A second phone line, which shares the primary line’s calling plan, can be added for $15 a month, and each plan features competitive international rates with no recurring monthly charge. Professional installation is included for new AT&T U-verse customers who order U-verse TV and Voice.
In the year since AT&T U-verse TV has been available in South Florida, the service has expanded significantly in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties and continually evolved. AT&T U-verse has introduced several enhancements to customers at no extra cost including:
The freedom to watch and playback recordings from a single DVR on any connected TV in the house with Total Home DVR . U-verse TV customers also recently received an exclusive new Total Home DVR feature that allows them to schedule and delete recordings from any U-verse receiver in the home.
Continuous additions to the U-verse TV High Definition (HD) channel lineup, which now offers more than 110 HD channels.
The ability to check the current weather conditions and forecasts in any U.S. city with Weather On Demand.
