USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to AT&T from the notes offering will be approximately $1.49 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses. These proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment
of a portion of our outstanding long-term debt that will mature in this fiscal year.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth the capitalization of AT&T as of March 31, 2006 and as adjusted to reflect (a) our proposed
acquisition of BellSouth Corporation ("BLS") as described in our reports incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement,
including our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2006, and (b) the issuance of $1.5 billion of the notes, net of
the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, and the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of
Proceeds" above assuming that the net proceeds from the sale of the notes would be used to repay approximately $1.49 billion of
AT&T's outstanding long-term debt. AT&T's total capital consists of debt (long-term debt and debt maturing within one year) and
stockholders' equity. This table reflects certain unaudited consolidated financial information for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2006 that was included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on May 5, 2006.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following description of the general terms of the Floating Rate Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes should be read in conjunction
with the statements under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer" in the accompanying prospectus. If this summary differs in
any way from the "Summary Description of the Securities We May Issue" in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this
summary.
General
The notes will be issued under our indenture with The Bank of New York, acting as trustee, as described under "Description of
Debt Securities We May Offer" in the accompanying prospectus. The notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and
will rank pari passu with all other indebtedness issued under our indenture. The notes will constitute two separate series under the
indenture. We will issue our notes in fully registered form only and in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 thereafter.
We may issue definitive notes in the limited circumstances set forth in "-- Form and Title" below. If we issue definitive notes,
principal of and interest on our notes will be payable in the manner described below, the transfer of our notes will be registrable, and
our notes will be exchangeable for notes bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office of The Bank of New York, the paying
agent and registrar for our notes, currently located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. However, payment of interest,
other than interest at maturity, in the case of the notes, or upon redemption, in the case of the Fixed Rate Notes, may be made by
check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the interest as it appears on the security register at the close of business on the
regular record date corresponding to the relevant interest payment date. Notwithstanding this, (1) the depositary, as holder of our
notes, or (2) a holder of more than $5 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in definitive form can require the paying agent
to make payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity, in the case of the notes, or upon redemption, in the case of the Fixed
Rate Notes, by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account maintained by the holder in the United States, by sending
appropriate wire transfer instructions as long as the paying agent receives the instructions not less than ten days prior to the applicable
interest payment date. The principal and interest payable in U.S. dollars on a note at maturity, in the case of the notes, or upon
redemption, in the case of the Fixed Rate Notes, will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds against presentation of a
note at the office of the paying agent.
The Floating Rate Notes
The Floating Rate Notes will initially be limited to $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on May 15, 2008
(the "Floating Rate Maturity Date").
The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest from May 18, 2006 at a floating rate determined in the manner provided below,
payable on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year (each such day a "Floating Rate Interest Payment Date"),
commencing on August 15, 2006, to the persons in whose names the Floating Rate Notes were registered at the close of business on
the 15th day preceding the respective Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, subject to certain exceptions.
The per annum interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes (the "Floating Interest Rate") in effect for each day of a Floating Rate
Interest Period (as defined below) will be equal to the Applicable LIBOR Rate plus 9 basis points (.09%). The Floating Interest Rate
for each Floating Rate Interest Period for the Floating Rate Notes will be set on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of
each year and will be set for the initial Floating Rate Interest Period on May 18, 2006 (each such date, a "Floating Rate Interest Reset
Date") until the principal on the Floating Rate Notes is paid or made available for payment (the "Floating Rate Principal Payment
Date"). If any Floating Rate Interest Reset Date (other than the initial Floating Rate Interest Reset Date occurring on May 18, 2006)
and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date for the Floating Rate Notes would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day,
such Floating Rate Interest Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day,
unless the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating

Rate Interest Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business
Day.
"LIBOR Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New York or the City of London,
is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law to close. "Floating Rate Interest Period" shall
mean the period from and including a Floating Rate Interest Reset Date to but excluding the next succeeding Floating Rate Interest
Reset Date and, in the case of the last such period, from and including the Floating Rate Interest Reset Date immediately preceding
the Floating Rate Maturity Date or Floating Rate Principal Payment Date, as the case may be, to but not including such Floating Rate
Maturity Date or Floating Rate Principal Payment Date, as the case may be. If the Floating Rate Principal Payment Date or Floating
Rate Maturity Date is not a LIBOR Business Day, then the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall be paid on the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the Floating Rate Maturity
Date, Floating Rate Principal Payment Date or any day thereafter.
The "Applicable LIBOR Rate" shall mean the rate determined in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) On the second day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market
preceding each Floating Rate Interest Reset Date (each such date an "Interest Determination Date"), The Bank of New York (the
"Reference Agent"), as agent for AT&T, will determine the Applicable LIBOR Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in U.
S. dollars having a maturity of three months, which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such
Interest Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display page so designed on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers'
Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If the Applicable LIBOR Rate
on such Interest Determination Date does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750, the Applicable LIBOR Rate will be determined
as described in (ii) below.

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the Applicable LIBOR Rate does not appear on the Telerate
Page 3750 as specified in (i) above, the Applicable LIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in
U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Reference Agent (the "Reference
Banks") at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank
market having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1,000,000 that is
representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Reference Agent will request the principal London office
of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Applicable
LIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 5 one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of such quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, the Applicable LIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic
mean (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 5 one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Reference Agent
at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks, having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1,000,000
that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks in New York City
selected as aforesaid by the Reference Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant Floating Interest Rate for
the Floating Rate Interest Period commencing on the Floating Rate Interest Reset Date following such Interest Determination
Date will be the Floating Interest Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

Table of Contents
The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are outstanding (the "Daily Interest Amount") will be calculated
by dividing the Floating Interest Rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Floating
Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be calculated by
adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such Floating Rate Interest Period.
The Floating Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York
law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.
The Floating Interest Rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Period will be
determined by the Reference Agent. All calculations made by the Reference Agent shall in the absence of manifest error be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on AT&T and the holders of the Floating Rate Notes. So long as the Applicable LIBOR Rate
is required to be determined with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, there will at all times be a Reference Agent. In the event that any
then acting Reference Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Reference Agent shall fail duly to establish the
Applicable LIBOR Rate for any Floating Rate Interest Period, or that AT&T proposes to remove such Reference Agent, AT&T shall
appoint itself or another person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the
Reference Agent.
The Fixed Rate Notes
The Fixed Rate Notes will initially be limited to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will bear interest from May 18,
2006 at the rate of 6.800% per annum. We will pay interest on our Fixed Rate Notes in arrears on each May 15 and November 15,
commencing on November 15, 2006, to the persons in whose names our Fixed Rate Notes are registered at the close of business on
May 1 and November 1 preceding the respective interest payment date. The Fixed Rate Notes will mature on May 15, 2036.
For purposes of the Fixed Rate Notes, a business day means a day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New
York, is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law to close. Interest will accrue on the
Fixed Rate Notes assuming a 360-day year consisting of 12, 30-day months. If the date on which a payment of interest or principal on
the Fixed Rate Notes is scheduled to be paid is not a business day, then such interest or principal shall be paid on the next succeeding
business day and no additional interest shall accrue on the Fixed Rate Notes.
Optional Redemption of the Fixed Rate Notes
Our Fixed Rate Notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at our option, at any time, on at least 30 days', but not more than
60 days', prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of our Fixed Rate Notes. The redemption prices will be equal to
the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted to the redemption date, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points. In
the case of each of clauses (1) and (2), accrued interest will be payable to the redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity or interpolation (on a day count basis) of the interpolated Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment
Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed that
would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Notes.
