Jonathan, I know I have VOIP phone service. But choose to differentiate that from cell phone service. My question is will ATT let me have just voip without internet and without TV and not charge an arm and a leg.
I guess what I am asking is will I be able to have phone service from ATT and internet from Goggle and not have to pay more than I currently pay for both from ATT? Probably not. 😜 > On Sep 11, 2015, at 4:41 PM, Jonathan Fletcher <[email protected]> wrote: > > Harry, > > Uverse telephone is no more “landline” than a phone number through TWC would > be.
