If you have windows, you can also configure dial-up networking over the phone are print out the easy setup instructions for any provider.

Why is it important to connect to the Internet with a local access number?
You want to use local access numbers to avoid paying long distance charges. If an access number is in your local calling area, a modem will connect at a local call rate, just as if you were dialing the number via a phone.

How would I know for sure if an access number is local to me?
The only way to be absolutely certain that an ISP number is local to you is to contact your current local phone service provider. Give them the access number and they will tell you if that number is included in your local calling plan or not.
