I'm sure a few of you
Everythingians are
cheap and/or
poor like myself and take advantage of Net Zero's free
internet service. Do you long for the days when Net Zero provided you with
unlimited free internet access? Well, I figured out one way to avoid their newly imposed forty hours per month limit on their free service.
So, I'm sure all of you have tried
reinstalling and creating a new
account, but Net Zero has some sort of
Caller ID system that keeps track of the number of hours your
phone number logs regardless of what account you use. There is a way to avoid this
hurdle however. First, create a new account by reinstalling the
program. Then, if go to modify your calling options you will notice it has a check box that allows you to disable
call waiting, and it gives you a place to enter the number you'd dial to disable it (typically
*70). Instead of putting in that number put in
*67. This will block your number from being displayed on caller id machines at the numbers you call. Now whenever you dial your local number it will prefix it with *67.
Voila! Now you will just have to make a new account every time you go over forty hours.
