Do I have to contact AOL if I dial up through BestWeb?
You should contact AOL because they give you a discount for connecting through another provider. Contact AOL for more information at 1-800-827-3338. Important Note: If your only reason for having AOL is to chat with friends, you might be interested in a product called the AOL Instant Messenger. The Instant Messenger is essentially the same thing as your AOL ‘buddy list’. It shows you which of your friends is online and allows you to chat with them. You don’t however need to have an AOL account to use this program, so in some cases it may be to your benefit to close your AOL account thereby saving yourself from having to pay for both your AOL and BestWeb account. For more information or to download the Instant Messenger, visit AOL’s homepage at www.aol.com. Configuring AOL to Connect through BestWeb • To begin, open up AOL as you normally would. • On the opening ‘Sign on’ screen click the ‘Setup’ button. • On the next screen called ‘America Online Setup’, click the ‘Expert Setup’ button
