# Dialing Options

## To make changes to, or access more dialing options for a dial-up location:

1. On the AOL Desktop for Mac Sign In screen, click the Connection: drop-down menu to open it, then click Setup Connection.
2. Click the Dialing Options tab, then click Choose Common Options.
3. Click the Dial *70 to disable call waiting. box, to either clear or place a check mark in it, to enable/disable call waiting.
4. Click the Dial 9 to reach an outside line. box, to either clear or place a check mark in it, to enable/disable dialing a number to reach an outside line.
5. Click the OK button.
6. In the Modem Script: box, verify that your particular type of modem is selected. If it is not, use the arrows to select your modem from the list, then click the OK button.

Notes:

- The dialing options you select are applied to all the access phone numbers you have chosen for the location.
- 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.
