Charge modem calls to your telephone credit card

95LX 100/200LX

To use your personal telephone credit card when dialing up another modem, use the following string:

ATDT0xxxxxxx$86607066668888

You put a zero at the beginning of the phone number you are calling. The x's are the phone number. The $ makes my modem wait for the AT&T bong sound before sending the credit card number (8660... in the above example). If you are not using AT&T than use a comma instead of the $.

The comma will make the modem wait for the time specified in the modem's S8 register. You will have to test this yourself. Dial and time how long it takes from the last dialed digit until the phone is ready for the credit card number. If it takes 12 seconds your dial string might look like this:

ATS8=12DT0xxxxxxx,86607055554444
