To begin searching for local access numbers, enter the area code and phone number of the telephone line your modem uses. You can search for access numbers two ways - by area code or by state.
Search by area code (recommended)- From the Find Access Numbers for Connection area in the Connection Manager, select Find numbers by area code and prefix.
- Enter the area code and prefix. (Prefix-based searching is only available when your computer is connected to the Internet. If you are offline, you'll only be offered the area code box.)
- Select Next.
Search by state- Select the State option.
- Select a state from the drop-down menu.
- Select Next in the lower-right corner.
