IBM WORKPADC3 manual Adding telephone settings, Entering a prefix

Adding telephone settings

When you select the Phone field, your companion opens a dialog box in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note: The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

To enter your server phone number:

1.Tap the Phone # field.

2.Enter the phone number you use to reach your ISP or dial-in server.

3.If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those procedures. Otherwise, tap OK.

Entering a prefix

A prefix is a number that you dial before the telephone number to access an outside line. For example, many offices require that you dial “9” to dial a number outside the building.
