Adding telephone settings
When you select the Phone field, your communicator 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 you use to reach your ISP or dial-in server.
3. If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those procedures. Otherwise, hold
Option and press Return to finish.
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.
2. Enter the prefix.
3. Hold Option and press Return to finish.
