If you are using an Apple Macintosh with PPP or Remote Access then please follow these instructions. This will allow you to use the 0800 number to access BT Internet during the Free Access Period.

1. Go into Apple Menu, Control Panels then PPP or Remote Access. (This will vary depending on the version of Mac OS you are using)

This will open a window as below:

2. Click on the File Menu and select Configurations:

3. Select Default (or the name you have given your BT Internet configuration) and select Duplicate.

4. Enter the name of the configuration as Free Dialler and press OK.

5. Select Free Dialler and click on Make Active:

6. Enter the phone number as appropriate:
Modem Users: 0800 731 7963
ISDN Users: 0800 731 7964
Enter your own primary e-mail name and password.

7. Close Remote Access or PPP. You will be asked to Save Changes to The Current Configuration. Click on Save.

You have now created an 0800 connection.

When you wish to connect to the 0800 access number you will have to activate the free dialler. To do this you have to go back into the Apple Menu, Control Panels and Remote Access (or PPP) as described above.

Click on the File Menu and Configurations again, and select Free Dialler Click on Make Active. This will then allow you to connect with the 0800 number.

An alternative to this is using the Control Strip which most newer Apple Macintosh systems come pre-installed with.

Simply click on the Telegraph symbol, select Free Dialler, then press Connect.
