Advanced Dialing Options

In addition to the basic dialing options you set for a dial-up location, you can also select advanced dialing options if you wish to enable voice mail compatible dialing, or plan to connect using a calling card.

To select advanced dialing options for a dial-up location:

  1. On the AOL Desktop for Mac Sign In screen, click Connection: drop-down menu to open it, then click Setup Connection.
  2. Highlight the location you wish to edit, then click the Dialing Options tab.
  3. Click the Choose Common Options button.
  4. If you are using a calling card to dial, click the Dial my calling card prefix: box, to place a check mark in it, and enter the calling card number (for example: 1-800-calling card number).
  5. If you are using a calling card to dial, click the Dial my calling card suffix: box, to place a check mark in it, and enter the remaining dialing information (for example, your home telephone number + area code + pin number).
  6. Click the OK button.
  7. Click the OK button again to close the Dialup Setup window.
