# Using a Calling Card When Dialing

You may be able to save money by using your calling card to connect to the Internet if there are no access phone numbers near you, or if you are calling from a hotel or other establishment that would charge you for time spent using their phone line to connect to the Internet.

## To use a calling card:

1. On the AOL Desktop for Mac Sign In screen, click Connection: drop-down menu to open it, then click Setup Connection.
2. Click the Dialing Options tab.
3. Click the Choose Common Options button.
4. Click the Dial my calling card prefix: box, to place a check mark in it, then enter the calling card number (for example: 1-800-calling card number).
5. Click the Dial my calling card suffix: box, to place a check mark in it, then enter the remaining dialing information (for example, your home telephone number + area code + pin number).
6. Click the OK button.
7. Click the OK button again to close the Dialup Setup window.

Note:If there are fees for using your calling card, you will incur them accessing the Internet with AOL Desktop for Mac, even during a free trial period. Contact your calling card supplier for information regarding fees.
