SBC Yahoo DSL question

mello

I've been noticing the new ads for the $26.95 DSL & I had a question for

anyone that already has this. Do they provide local numbers or a 1-800

number to hookup with dialup when your not at home?



For example, you take your powerbook to your parent's house or vacation

& they don't have wifi access, so you dial in and get online at 56k speeds. Does

anyone know if this is included or would you need a separate account for that?

I have SBC Yahoo and dial up was not included.

dial up is never standard with cheapo DSL, there should be a packege for like 10-25$ more per month that will get you double(ish) the speed and included dialup



You may also look into netzero and services of its like, they will fix you up for ~$10 per month

I have SBC-Yahoo DSL and they provide dozens (maybe hundreds) of local access numbers you can use when you travel.



I'm pretty sure it's included at no extra cost.



what is the area code that you think you might want to dial from?



I'll check and see if they have a local number in that area.



They don't have an 800 number.

Yes, they do. I use the service every time I'm at my friends house. They don't have internet access. :-(

I visit my cousin & he lives in Naples, FL & sometimes we will go to South Beach

for a long weekend.

I see a number for Naples, but not for South Beach.

It's possible there may be another local number in a neighboring city.



Here's a weblink where you can search for access numbers:
