Using a calling card
The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when
dialing your ISP or Intranet server. Keep in mind that there is usually
a delay before you enter your calling card number. When you define
your calling card number, you need to add commas at the beginning
to compensate for this delay. Each comma delays transmission of your
calling card number for two seconds.
To use a calling card:
1. Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.
2. Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.
Note: It’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your
calling card number to compensate for the cue delay.
3. Tap OK.
Connecting to your service
After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing
a connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your
company’s network (dial-in server) is easy.
Note: If you are connecting to an ISP, you need a third-party
application, such as a web browser or news reader, to take
advantage of this connection. For information about third-
party applications that support TCP/IP, check the web site
http://www.palm.com.
To establish a connection:
Tap Connect to dial the current service and display the Service
Connection Progress messages.
Tip: To see expanded Service Connection Progress messages,
press the lower half of the Scroll button.
