Vonage with ATT Uverse

After searching the internet, calling several ATT & Vonage reps, I could not find a 100% straight answer if Vonage "works" in conjunction with ATT Uverse.

Well, I have ATT Uverse with the lowest (cheapest) internet connection you can get and the U-100 for TV (non-HD). I signed up for Vonage a week ago and my Vonage router came early via UPS and my line was also transferred over from my ATT land-line just like Vonage said.

I'm not in "any" way pushing Vonage, I just like good business, btw.

Anywho, for those who are interested and have ATT U-verse, here's what to do after you have received your Vonage stuff.

Follow the Vonage directions for the DSL, powering down the ATT Uverse, connecting the ethernet cord, etc.

*Note: (don't do what I did) after you plug in the Vonage adapter, you may get an Error code: 006. Don't unplug it. Wait for it to correct itself. It may take a few minutes or so but it should say something like, "Downloading updates". It will then re-start and you should be connected.

My only gripe is the set-up for this. My ATT Uverse router and Vonage thingy must be connected via ethernet cable. So everything is all bunched together. But I'll figure something out.

Hope the Vonage service is as good as I hear. And I would also like to add that ATT Uverse is really nifty too. Wink

have you considered getting a longer ethernet cable?
