Westnet w/ GRIC Roaming Service
Westnet is providing a global roaming service which gives our Westnet
users the ability to dial into a local GRIC affiliated ISP almost anywhere
in the world.
The cost of this roaming service is:
* $3.00 a month for any month in which the service is used
* 4.75 cents a minute in the US
* 9.33 cents a minute internationally
All fees are added on to WestNet's monthly fees
Setting up your computer to use the GRIC service:
- Pick a phone number local to the place you are traveling to from the
Gric online phone book
- You will need to either change your dial-up settings to reflect the
location you are roaming to, or preferably create a new dial-up connection
for the roaming settings, so you do not need to change them back when you
return home. How to set up a dial-up connection varies by OS, please see
our Getting Started page
for help configuring a dial-up.
- Enter your userid as "username@westnet.com" . The
"@westnet.com" is important.
- Enter your Westnet password.
- Enter the phone number you found from the
Gric online phone book
Configuring your Mail settings:
