# Are There Charges for Using AOL Desktop for Mac?

There are no additional charges associated with using AOL Desktop for Mac except those incurred using a toll or long-distance access phone number, a calling card, or a surcharged access phone number. If you are connected to the Internet using a toll or long-distance number or surcharged access phone number, you will incur telephone charges until you disconnect from the Internet. Hourly charges may also apply.

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, it 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.
