FrontierNet Access while Traveling
 

NOTE: No action on your part is required for DSL or home-only users. The FrontierNet roaming is intended for dial-up users with Windows (98, ME, XP, NT/2000) or Macintosh 8.1 and higher Operating Systems who utilize Frontier's dial-up access numbers while traveling.

Frontier will be replacing over 1,000 dial-up access numbers in metropolitan areas in April. The FrontierNet access numbers in the local Frontier telephone service areas will not be changing, only the traveling access numbers currently marked with an asterisk will be replaced. Visit http://www.frontiernet.net click on the “Dialup Access #s” located on the left hand side of the screen to determine if you are using a traveling access number.

Macintosh users skip the steps below and click here.
