What is the wireless part of Bundle97? The McDonalds wireless access hot spots in Georgia?
I went AT&T extreme 6 last week and was considering going DSL only since I have used Vonage VOIP >2 yrs. Terrific service with no charges for caller id etc.

I just chatted with an online ATT rep. and they told me this bundle and stand alone DSL does not yet exist? Is this true? |

Ok, i just got off the phone with them, and they said my area didnt qualify, but some other areas in GA do. She said that she wanted to check her own location out when she got off of work. |

I called them and they have to request it through some internal department and it takes up to 48 hours to process. They are going to call me when the process is complete. So it looks like my area qualifies!! Thanks!! |

I was able to upgrade to Xtreme 6.0 and lose the phone line without any hassles. And I'm saving about $25/mo!
Thanks for the info guys!!! |

Sweet! I just got placed on Bundle 97, and the courteous CSR even waived the $5 SAFA Line charge. She said my total bill would be $42.95 (DSL Extreme 6.0). 
She said she didn't have any record of a bundle 96, and that effective August 1st Bundle 97 no longer had a wireless requirement. Thanks to the OP and all that have contributed to this thread! |

I would imagine since we're both in the same county that you should qualify too. Try calling back tomorrow and see if someone else can fix you up with Bundle 97. |

About 2 hours later outgoing calls from my landline go to a "Your call cannot be completed as dialed" message, and incoming calls say "xxx-xxx-xxxx has been disconnected".  |

For most people, those recordings would be a disaster.
Glad it worked out for you.
Now, if you depend on your email for communication, do yourself a favor and find a free or very cheap alternative. I have been using 1and1.com, which is almost free, except for a minimal charge for my own domain.
It's loaded with features, and hasn't missed a beat since I signed up last November. I love my 6.0 FastAccess, but their email- that's another story.

I love my 6.0 FastAccess, but their email- that's another story. I signed up for at&t a few months ago, the only reason I even had the basic voice line was for DSL. It was probably used a total of 5 times since it was installed. I have my Viatalk VoIP and cell for voice communication. I was actually ecstatic when I heard the "this line has been disconnected" message.
As for the domain, I already have one, »dotnull.com (forgive the sparse content).  I'm hosted with DreamHost currently. I had 1&1 for a time, but needed some functionality that they didn't offer (namely, procmail). I do appreciate the suggestion though. |

Anyone know if these "disconnected" lines still allow emergency calls to 911? I want to know if I can still use my landline as an emergency backup with SAFA.
Also, will I be able to do an LNP of a line with DSL still on it? I read somewhere this might cause the LNP to fail. |

|  The line will have a dial tone, but no ability to call out or accept incoming calls. This line will still have a PHONE NUMBER, ableit, a non-voice one. If you try to port it, there is a good chance you will lose your service. ATT will most likley look at that as a disconnect. |

Customer service says I have to sign up for wireless. I tried bundle 96 and bundle 97. Any suggestions? |

Lawrenceville, GA | It is BUN97, until 1 AUG there was a requirement for wireless (cellular) service. Call back and ask again. It is a new product for them, so it takes awhile for everyone to understand it. |

Man, this is what I'm looking for ... then I thought: uh-oh, how is this going to play with my alarm system and my Dishnetwork. Both of them use the (filtered) POTS. VoIP for both? Anybody have experience using VoIP with your phone-line dependent devices?
