| International Access is your ticket to
connecting to AOL from anywhere in the world. With thousands of modems in hundreds of
foreign cities, you never have to be without your e-mail, Internet access, and other AOL
services. You may search for access numbers by country or city under Search For A Number
in the International Access area or view a listing of access numbers in the Globalnet
Number Database or the AOLnet Number Database. All
International Access numbers have an hourly surcharge. The surcharge varies from country
to country, so be sure to note the surcharge fee supplied with the access number before
you connect. The surcharges will appear in your regular AOL billing. Consult the Billing
area for more information on surcharges.
