Adding telephone settings
When you select the Phone field, your handheld opens a dialog box in
which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your
ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable
Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.
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 put the calling card
number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use
calling card field.
To enter your server phone number:
1. Tap the Phone field.
2. Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server.
3. If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those
procedures. Otherwise, tap OK.
Entering a prefix
A prefix is a number that you dial before the telephone number to
access an outside line. For example, many offices require that you dial
“9” to dial a number outside the building.
To enter a prefix:
1. Tap the Dial Prefix check box to select it.
