Can’t connect to the internet using modem because phone requires dial zero to access outside line.?

Posted on September 24th, 2009 by admin in access on line | 1 Comment »

My broadband is down at the moment and I want to access the internet at home. Unfortunately, my telephone needs zero to be dialed before I can access an outside line.

I tried putting zero before the telephone number of the prepaid ISP, but it did not work. I guess the zero does not bite because the modem dials so fast.

How do I fix this?

You need to set it to dial 0, pause, then dial the number. Some dailers have a setting to dial a number (usually 9) to get an outside line. This feature usually puts a pause it. If that still doesn’t work, most dialers will recognize a comma as a pause, simply put a comma or two after the zero in the number string.
