Access From Outside the Continental United States

If you are accessing America Online from Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada, you will not be able to use the automatic toll-free registration feature.  

But, don't despair: setting up is not difficult.  You need to first: 

- Read the Help file entitled "Setting Up Your Modem"
- Then, be ready to look for a local access number in one of the following three Help files: numbers for Alaska/Hawaii; Datapac numbers for Canada; or Tymnet numbers for Canada

After you've read those files:

-Select the button labeled "I'm dialing from Canada, Hawaii, or Alaska" which is several screens into the toll-free sign-on sequence.  This will automatically bring up the Help files.

-After you've reviewed the Help files, you'll next see the manual set up screen.  Make the changes described in the Help files and save them.
     
-Then, sign on.

PLEASE NOTE:
There is a telecommunications surcharge for access from outside the continental United States.  To verify the current prices, check the Members Online Guide in the What's New & Online Support area online.
