To use a calling card:

1.

From the Communications Preferences screen, select Network.

2.

Tap the Phone box.

3.

Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.

4.

Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.

NOTE

The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-

distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers
need to enter the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone
number in the Use calling card field.

TIP

It’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card

number to compensate for the cue delay.

5.

Tap OK.

6.

Tap Done.

Connecting to your service

After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing a connection
to your ISP or your company’s network (dial-in server) is easy.

NOTE

If you are connecting to an ISP, you need a third-party application, such as a

web browser or news reader, to take advantage of this connection. For information
about third-party applications that support TCP/IP, check the web site
