Nationwide, the Dallas-based company is also launching U-verse Business Voice, its voice over IP service that gives customers voice capabilities via the Internet. The service will provide standard calling features plus services that will allow customers to managing calling features, call preferences and voicemail over the Internet.
In addition to Dallas, the upgrades are available to AT&T Business Fiber customers in Chicago, Miami, and San Francisco. More markets are expected to be announced in the near future, AT&T said in a released statement.
