Every so often you should check the access number you use to
dial into your ISP. If your area code splits and your modem
is set to the old area code it might be redirected to a long
distance number. This happened a few years back in Rochester,
NY causing huge phone bills.
Your ISP should have a list of access numbers, possibly on
their website. Be sure to choose one that is a local call
for you.
In Windows XP go to Start/Control Panel (in Category View go
to "Network & Internet Connections") then select "Internet
Options".
Click on the "Connections" tab then double left-click your
default internet connection. In the settings window click
"Properties" down by Dial-up settings (it's right next to
the User Name box).
Under "Phone Number" you'll see the current number. High-
light and type over to change.
