# Adding Access Phone Numbers to a Location

After creating a dial-up location, you can add access phone numbers to it at any time.

## To add access phone numbers to a dial-Up location:

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 Edit Access Numbers button.
3. Click the Area Code: drop-down menu to open it, choose your area code from the list, then click it.
4. Click the boxes next to the access phone numbers you wish to use, to place check marks in them. If a number requires you to dial 1, click the Dial 1? box, to place a check mark in it, then click the OK button.
5. Click the OK button again to close the Dialup Setup window.

Note: AOL strongly recommends that you contact your local phone company to confirm that any access phone number(s) you have chosen for dial-up access to AOL will not cause toll or long-distance charges to appear on your phone bill. Simply because an access phone number has the same area code or city as your dial-up location does not necessarily mean that it is in your local calling area. The access phone number(s) that you have selected may not correspond to your local phone company's billing designations and need to be carefully selected. If you do not contact your local phone company, you may unnecessarily incur phone charges when dialing an AOL access phone number. Only your local phone company can provide this information.
