Tulsa Customers Can Now Enjoy Next-Generation Integrated TV, Internet,
Wireless and Voice Services - All on One Bill
TULSA, Okla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tulsa-area residents now
have a new -- and better -- choice for their television and communications
services. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced the launch of the company's
integrated suite of AT&T U-verse(SM) services, including AT&T U-verse TV,
AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice.
AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T
wireless services -- all on one bill -- with unique features that provide a
new level of integration, convenience and control. AT&T U-verse TV, High
Speed Internet and Voice services are all delivered over AT&T's advanced
Internet Protocol (IP) network.
Customers can currently order AT&T U-verse services in parts of Tulsa,
Jenks and Owasso. AT&T will make U-verse services available to more homes
throughout the area on an ongoing basis.
"With the launch of AT&T U-verse TV, Tulsa customers are finally
getting a better choice in video entertainment services," said Ryan
Stafford, AT&T general manager for Oklahoma and Arkansas. "And we're taking
it even further by making your services work together and offering cool
features you can't get anywhere else."
Stafford credited Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor and other city and state
leaders for creating an environment that encourages investment in new
technology in Tulsa and Oklahoma.
"The presence of competition means better products and better prices
for Tulsans. It is not only providing us with another entertainment and
communications choice, it is also bringing more jobs to our city and more
high-tech investment with the launch of this new service," Taylor said.
"We're a city on the move. Being able to attract new investment, create new
jobs and deliver a new service to our residents is another sign we're
headed in the right direction."
A Better Television Choice With AT&T U-verse TV
AT&T is the only national service provider to offer a 100 percent
IP-based television (IPTV) service. IP technology helps make AT&T U-verse
TV one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today, with
advanced capabilities that customers don't get from other providers and
access to more than 40 High Definition (HD) channels.
Where available, local AT&T U-verse customers can enjoy numerous TV
benefits, including:
-- An attractive selection of TV packages. You can choose from a variety
of subscription options that feature up to 320 channels, including
digital music, local, movie and sports programming, as well as premium
Spanish-language and international packages. All packages include
HD-capable equipment, and most packages include an HD-capable digital
video recorder (DVR). (More receivers can be added for $5 each a
month.)
-- More HD channels than the major local cable providers, with an
extensive lineup of more than 40 HD channels. U-verse TV supports both
720p and 1080i formats. Access to HD service is $10 a month with any
U-verse TV package.
-- The ability to set your DVR from any location. With AT&T Yahoo! Web and
Mobile Remote Access to DVR, you can schedule recordings from any
Web-connected PC or compatible AT&T mobile phone (wireless service
charges apply) by using your AT&T High Speed Internet account.
-- The ability to record up to four programs at once using a DVR (up to
four standard definition programs or two HD and two standard definition
programs) -- another feature that is exclusive to AT&T U-verse TV.
-- AT&T Online Photos from Flickr, which allows you to simply and
conveniently browse the photos you've uploaded to flickr.com and watch
slide shows on your U-verse TV screen from the comfort of your couch.
-- AT&T U-bar, which brings customizable weather, stock, sports and
traffic information to the U-verse TV screen, without interrupting the
current program. AT&T High Speed Internet subscribers can personalize
the U-bar from the AT&T portal to display weather at specific
locations, your personal stock portfolio and scores for your favorite
sports teams.
-- YELLOWPAGES.COM TV, for fast and easy searches to find local businesses
and other information via your TV screen.
-- AT&T Yahoo! Games, so you can now play your favorite online games --
including Sudoku, Solitaire, JT's Blocks, Mah-jongg Tiles and Chess --
on the TV screen.
-- Built-in Picture-in-Picture, which lets you channel-surf on any
television without leaving the program you're watching.
-- Fast channel-changing, reducing the delay experienced with other
digital video services.
-- A growing Video On Demand (VOD) library with one-touch access to movies
and events.
-- Advanced search to find upcoming linear or VOD programs by using the
title or an actor's name.
-- Easy-to-use parental controls to block live or recorded programs or
on-demand videos by specific channel or ratings.
-- Specially designed U-verse receivers. All U-verse receivers are
HD-capable and include universal remote controls with backlit buttons
and one-touch access to VOD, recorded TV and other popular U-verse
features.
AT&T U-verse offers multiple combinations of TV, Internet and Voice
packages to customize your experience. U-verse TV offers five programming
packages -- U100, U200, the popular U300 and U400 packages, plus U-family,
a market-leading family-friendly programming option. Current AT&T U-verse
TV pricing starts at $44 a month, depending on the selected programming
package (taxes, fees and other monthly charges apply).
Professional installation is included for new U-verse TV customers, and
you also get a 30-day money-back guarantee. Customers who order a
qualifying programming package by phone through Sept. 20, 2008, are
eligible to choose a free month of the U200, U300 or U400 package or a $50
cash-back redemption by gift check. Customers who order a qualifying TV
package online will receive a free month of the TV package. Additional
cash-back offers are available to qualifying customers who bundle Internet
or AT&T U-verse Voice service.
Quad-Play Integration With AT&T U-verse Voice
U-verse Voice is a next-generation digital voice service that brings
more control and functionality to your home phone. Unlike many Voice over
IP (VoIP) providers that offer best-effort digital phone services over the
public Internet, 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 AT&T wireless services, including:
-- Combined AT&T U-verse Voice and AT&T wireless voice mail with U-verse
Messaging, which provides a single voice mailbox that can be accessed
from any phone line or PC.
-- U-verse Central, an online management portal that gives you the option
to easily and conveniently manage your call preferences, voice mail,
contacts, call history and more from any PC, in addition to the ability
to control call preferences from your home phone.
-- An online voice mailbox to check, manage and forward voice mail from
the online portal, much like an e-mail inbox.
-- Call History, which enables you to view your most recent incoming and
outgoing calls online or to view your most recent incoming calls on
your AT&T U-verse TV screen.
-- Click to Call, which will initiate a call from your home phone to any
number in your Call History with one click of a mouse or the U-verse TV
remote control.
-- An online Address Book that is accessible from any PC and allows you to
Click to Call from your home phone, to create and share contact groups
with other U-verse Voice customers or to set up distribution lists for
voice messages.
-- Locate Me, a feature that provides simultaneous ringing on up to four
wireless or landline numbers so you never miss an important incoming
call.
-- Traditional calling features, such as Call Screening, Call Blocking, Do
Not Disturb and privacy settings.
All U-verse Voice customers will have 911 service. Where available via
the local 911 network, U-verse Voice customers will have Enhanced 911
(E911) service.
U-verse TV customers can choose from two flexible U-verse Voice calling
plans. U-verse Voice Unlimited includes unlimited local and nationwide
minutes to any location in the U.S., Canada or U.S. territories for $40 a
month, and U-verse Voice 1000 includes 1,000 Call Anywhere minutes to any
location in the U.S. or U.S. territories for $30 a month. A second phone
line, which shares the primary line's calling plan, can be added for $20 a
month, and each plan features competitive international rates with no
recurring monthly charge.
AT&T's wireless customers who subscribe to an AT&T Unity(SM) plan can
call any AT&T U-verse Voice number from their mobile phone as part of the
nation's largest free calling community without using any wireless Anytime
Minutes.
AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet for Consumers and Small Businesses
AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet offers more bandwidth and faster

other device. Subscribers also receive virtually unlimited e-mail storage,
powerful anti-virus and anti-spam software and access to the nation's
largest Wi-Fi network with free unlimited connectivity at more than 17,000

mission to connect people with their world, everywhere they live and work,
