Using Analog Telephone Adapter on UVerse Voice

A couple of things first.  As U-verse voice is SIP to the AT&T Router at your premise and from there the router converts that to analog dial tone for use with most analog type phone sets.  This is the typical install.

It sounds like you have an external device that you would like to connect to the internet to allow your dial pulse devices to work over.  Currently AT&T does not offer a direct SIP connection in order for you to get your phone number.  It has to come from the jack on the back of the router.  Therefore any external SIP device you try to use will not allow you to connect and get your phone number.

An easier solution would be something like this: http://www.oldphoneworks.com/product.php?productid=19877&cat=0&page=1 or do a google search for "pulse to tone converter".

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to hook up my antique rotary dial phone.  THe dialgizmo that you reference is no longer made (none of the pulse to tone converters work with Uverse since it is very low voltage). I have found a VOIP Analog Telephone Adapter (converts pulse to tone) that connects to the backfeed phone line and outputs to the WAN port of the Residential gateway (uses the WAN to connect to the Voip provider). What I am trying to determine is can I use the ATA to connect to Att's Voip. To do this I would need to know how to configure the ATA to hook up to the ATT Voip.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

It will not work as it's a SIP device.  AT&T does not offer a direct connection (via internet) to their SIP server.

Here is one that will work and it's in stock: https://www.oldphoneworks.com/cart.php?keep_https=yes

It looks like the rotatone 2 may work. Thanks for pointing that out (the old version specifically said that it would not work with UVerse).

Hello.  I have my old 554 rotary dial phone connected through my at&t modem (Uverse digital voice). I have a Dial Gizmo pulse to tone converter in use but I haven't been able to make my rotary phone work.  I know that the phone works because I can hear a faint electrical hum.  Could you please help?

This topic is five and a half years old and the links provided were marked as a solution.  If you're using a different device and you're not getting dial tone just a "faint hum" than it's not working.  The dial tone to touch tone converter would only be for outgoing calls and wouldn't affect the ability to get dial tone or receive calls.  Unless you have the specific problem the original poster had and are using the device from the link provided I suggest you open your own topic and give details of what it is you're using, make and model number.  You can also see if it's the device or phone by plugging the phone directly into the modems phone port and see if you get dial tone. If you don't the phone is bad or miss wired. 

I found the device you're using it says it works with "almost" any rotary dial phone.
