My company's surf control is blocking hosted photo sites but I transcribed the letter verbatim (except their IP Flexible Reach promotions);
"Due to a number of business reasons, including life cycle constraints in expanding ADL (AT&T Digital Link) and technology advancements in voice communications, AT&T has decided to grandfather ADL service nationwide for existing ADL customers effective June 1st 2015.
As a current AT&T customer with ADL Service, this decision means you may retain your existing ADL service(s) subject to the following changes:
Effective June 1st 2015, AT&T will no longer renew or auto-renew existing service agreements for ADL Service. Following the expiration your ADL Service agreement(s), you may continue ADL Service under month-to-month service arrangement at the prices, terms and conditions in effect on the last day of the ADL Agreement.
AT&T may change such prices, termsor conditions on 30-days' prior notice.
Effective June 1st 2015, New, Moves, Additions, and Change orders for ADL Service will no longer be accepted. After May 31st, 2015, new order requests for ADL service including but not limited tothe installation of new or additional ADL service or capacity expansion of existing trunk groups that include ADL service, moves to different facility or service address, or ADL service changes will not be accepted or provisioned. Only requests to port-out ADL telephone numbers and/or completely remove the ADL service will be allowed.
Any ADL service order requests for new services, additions, changes, or moves submitted prior to June 1st 2015 must have a Customer requested due date of June 30th 2015 or earlier. Any customer requests to modify the due date may result in the cancellation of the order without recourse.
Depending on your application and use of ADL service, it may be possible to replace ADL Service with AT&T IP Flexible Reach.
AT&T currently plans to discontinue ADL Service nationwide as of June 1st 2017. Since it takes time to change local service, we recommend you begin work with your AT&T Account Team immediately to consider alternative AT&T products and local service options for your business applications and plan accordingly in order to transition either to AT&T IP Flexible Reach or an alternate service arrangement before June 1st 2017.
When ADL Service is discontinued, in June 2017, the following calls or features will be impacted if alternative arrangements are not in place:
- Outbound calls made to toll-free numbers (originating toll-free) will not complete. To avoid this impact you must ensure you have adequate capacity on your other local service facilities, and instruct your customer premises equipment (CPE) vendorto re-route these calls over those local service facilities.
- Outbound calling party number will not be sent. If you have AT&T long distance (LD) ISDN PRI facilities, you may be able to send calling party number using your CPE. If you have LD non-ISDN facilities, you should consider whether converting to ISDN facilities and using your CPE to send calling party number is an option.
- ADL telephone numbers will be disconnected and inbound calls to those telephone numbers will not complete unless you change your local service and port you numbers prior to the ADL disconnect. In order to determine if you can retain your existing local phones numbers, you will need to work with AT&T (or another local service provider) to request a migration of these inbound numbers.
As a reminder: The removal of ADL Service from your AT&T long-distance facility will not affect the completion of your outgoing calls, but will affect the rates applicable to them. Outgoing local calls can still be routed over AT&T facilities; however, once ADL is removed, calls that were previously rated as "local" with ADL will be rated as "local toll" (intraLATA) calls and your business will be assessed the appropriate usage charges."
Sincerely, AT&T Business Services
