Check the AT&T CPR website. All features should be listed there.

I've never looked at the Georgia guidebook before, but I can't say that
I've seen it in the Ohio guide book. It might not be available through
AT&T. It might also be an option for digital phone customers only.
These guidebooks are for regular POTS service only.

AT&T In Home Experts
In a historic win, AT&T In Home Expert (IHX) workers in Southfield,
Mich., overwhelmingly chose to join CWA with 84 percent of the
vote. IHX workers nationwide want to join CWA, but have met strong
resistance from AT&T at every step.

The Callcentric "press N to complete your call" works really well. I
have it on all of my VoIP lines.
Callcentric is quite cheap and flexible. It can terminate calls on a
hardware or software VoIP phone or forward them to POTS numbers.
