ACCESS NUMBERS
| When you access the
Internet, your modem is actually placing a telephone call. Since you
are responsible for all telephone costs associated with your household's
use of the Internet, make sure you're using the number that's best
for you. With certain calling plans, distance is not the sole criterion
in determining cost. When in doubt, check with your local telephone
company to determine which Internet access number to use. |
| Many of
our new access numbers are in new exchanges (if you are calling the
number 202-555-1212, "555" is the exchange). These new exchanges
are frequently not yet listed in phone books. When you call your phone
company, make sure you ask them whether the town or city where our
access number is located is a local call for you ("Can I call
Washington, DC as a local call?"). Simply asking if the specific
area code and exchange of the access number is a local call ("Can
I call 202-555-xxxx as a local call?") may not provide you with
the information you need. |
| If your local phone
company doesn't recognize the exchange for one of our access numbers,
contact your ISP. |
