Signing Up for WebTV

Signing up for the WebTV Network is an easy process that asks you to pro- vide your name, billing address, phone number, credit card information, and an Internet name (which acts as your e-mail address). When you complete the last sign-up page, you will be given the opportunity to correct mistakes. Once the information is correct, the WebTV Home Page will appear. You are ready to begin your Internet experience. If you have any difficulty signing up, please call 1-800-GOWEBTV.
