1. People that live in the same neighborhood (all are AT&T customers) can not call my number. There are told "No circuits available" after they dial my number.
2. People that try to call me are told,.."You must first dial #84 before dialing that number"
3. I have audio drop out on 2-3 phone calls per day. Some are long distance from Bay area, some are from cell phones, most are local calls from inside our gated community.
