To use a calling card for long-distance dialing

1.

Open Phone and Modem Options in Control Panel.

2.

On the Dialing Rules tab, click the location to modify, and then click Edit.

To create a new location, click New.

3.

On the Calling Card tab, click the calling card you want to use.

Note

To open a Control Panel item, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click the appropriate icon. 

If you use more than one calling card, you can create a different location for each one. Telephony features, such as Phone Dialer or the Send Fax wizard, normally let you change the location before dialing.

If you dial digits to access a long distance carrier (a long distance operator), you can use a calling card to specify the dialing sequence. When you create the calling card for a long distance carrier, create a unique location to go with it.
