What is the Lifeline program?
Lifeline is a program designed to increase the availability of telecommunications
services to low income subscribers by providing a credit to monthly recurring
local service for qualifying residential subscribers.
Is the phone line the same quality as my old line?
Yes. Our phone lines are top quality equal to the lines used by the major
carriers. In fact, we resell the BellSouth network, although we are
not affiliated with
BellSouth.
Can I keep my old phone number?
In most cases, if you still have a dial tone on your line you should
be able to keep your old phone number. We always try to keep your old
number as it's
usually the fastest way to connect your service. If for some reason we can't
your old number, you will get top quality phone service.
Do I have to have a dial
tone on my line?
No. Anyone can get phone service – dial tone, no dial tone – even
if you've never had phone service in your home before
I don't even have a phone
jack. Can you still help?
If you have no phone jacks or no working phone jacks in your home, you'll
need to hire a phone technician to install a jack or fix any wires
inside your home. We
only provide phone service. You can look in the yellow pages for several
companies that provide wiring.
Do I need to be home the day that
the service is scheduled to be turned
on?
Not usually. Our Order Department
will contact you if for any reason we need you to be at home. What area can I call with All American
Home Phone service?
All American Home Phone provides unlimited local calling. The range of
local calling will be different in every city and town. You will be
able to call
everywhere that your old phone company considered a local call which
is usually the town
you are in and many of the surrounding towns. In the first few pages
of every phone book is a list of what areas are local. If you are unsure
of what is
a local call, you may consult the phone book to be sure or call our
customer service
number for additional assistance.
Can I access the internet?
Yes. Our lines can be used for dial-up access to internet service providers
that are local or 800 number accessed.
Can I receive phone calls from
anyone, anywhere?
Yes. You can receive calls from anyone, anywhere as long as the call
is not collect.
Can I make long distance calls?
Yes. All American Home Phone provides 100 FREE long distance minutes
every month. You
can also upgrade to 500 minutes per month, or 2,000 minutes per month.
All American Home Phone long distance works anywhere in the 48 continental
United
States.
Or, you may use any prepaid long distance card.
Can I add features to my line later if I don't take them
now?
You may add features at any time. All you have to do is submit payment for the
features that you want to add plus a (state specific) service charge. The service
charge covers all features so if you add more than one feature you only pay one
service charge. Features and options are generally activated within 3-5 days
from payment.
How long does it take to get my phone turned on?
Your service with All American Home Phone is usually on within 3-5 business
days
or less from the time your service order payment is received.
Does it ever take
longer than 3-5 days?
Until your service order is put into the system we can not know the
activation date for certain. Sometimes it takes longer than 5 days.
This is most common
in cases where there has never been phone service or where there has been no
phone service in quite some time.
I'm going to be moving – can
I keep my number when I do?
You can usually keep your number when you move, provided you move within the
same local area and if it is within 30 days of disconnection of the service
at the old location. Remember, All American Home Phone service can go with
you in
most places in Louisiana.
Can I pay my monthly service at the same place I originally
signed up?
Yes, in most cases. Check with customer service before making your regular
payment to be sure that the location you sign up at is authorized for monthly
payments.
When will my next payment be due?
Your first regular monthly payment will be due 24 days from the date
your phone service is activated. So, if your phone is activated on
the 15th ,
your payments
will be due on the 9th. As long as you make your payment on or before your
due date, that date will never change.
Will I receive a notice in the mail?
You should receive a notice in the mail. We always send them, but we
can't guarantee its delivery. It's always best to make sure you post
your due date
on your calendar.
If you're unsure of your due date, or to get any basic information about
your account, call our Customer Service line (800-673-1529) any time, 24
hours a
day, 7 days a week.
Is there a grace period if I don't pay on time?
Unfortunately, we are required to pay our supplier (BellSouth) in advance
for your service also. So, we must have your payment on time, as well.
What
can't I do with this line?
You can't dial any number for which there would be a charge*. That includes
operator, directory assistance and any phone numbers beginning with a 1**
other than toll
free numbers.
