Access phone numbers are the numbers your Set Top Box
dials to reach the AOLTV service. In many cases, there are
several different numbers in your local area from which to
choose. For some people, access phone numbers in more
than one area code might be local calls. Also, depending on
your location and calling plan, you may incur additional tele-
phone charges, even when calling a local number. Please
check with your phone company if you’re unsure whether
an access phone number is a local call.

What Speed Should You Choose?
Each access number is listed by the speed of the connec-
tion. The Set Top Box uses a built-in modem to connect at
speeds up to 56 Kbps, so 56000 or any lower number
works. Lower numbers indicate slower connections. For
the best performance, we recommend you choose access
phone numbers with the highest possible speed.

How Access Numbers Work
Each time you click an access phone number, it is added to
a list. When you sign on, the Set Top Box dials the first
number on this list. If it happens to be busy, the box will
dial the next number. If you have several numbers on the
list, you’re likely to get connected sooner.
