Selecting Access Phone Numbers
When you create a new dial-up location and specify the area code and exchange from which you will be dialing, a list of access phone numbers displays in the Dialup Setup window. To connect to the Internet, you must choose which access phone numbers you would like AOL to dial. Whenever possible, you should only select access phone numbers that will not cause you to incur toll charges.
To select access phone numbers:
- On the AOL Desktop for Mac Sign In screen, click Connection: drop-down menu to open it, then click Setup Connection.
- Click the Edit Access Numbers button.
- Click the Area Code: drop-down menu to open it, choose your area code from the list, then click it.
- Click the boxes next to the access phone numbers you wish to use, to place check marks in them, then click the OK button.
- Click the OK button again to close the Dialup Setup window.
