DOCUMENT:Q124856 12-OCT-1999 [msnetwork] TITLE :Do Not Type "1" in Dialing Properties to Dial Long Distance PRODUCT :The Microsoft Network PROD/VER:WINDOWS:1.3,2.0,2.5 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbmsn ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft Network versions 1.3, 2.0, 2.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Dialing Properties is designed to automatically add a "1" before a telephone number that has an area code different from your own. You do not need to add the "1" manually. MORE INFORMATION ================ In Dialing Properties, you use the entries in the "How I dial from this location" (When Dialing From Here in Windows 98) box to specify a number for reaching an outside telephone line. For example, if your company requires that you dial a "9" to reach an outside telephone line, type "9" (without quotation marks) in both "To access outside line, first dial..." boxes. Do not type a "1" in either of these boxes. If you do not need to dial a number to reach an outside telephone line, leave these boxes empty.
