Sterling Nationwide Dialup - Search Tool

If you're a Sterling customer with a Nationwide Dialup Account, you will be given access to our network of nationwide local access numbers. The only charges you will incur with Sterling are your regular monthly service fees. However, if you don't choose an access number that's a toll-free call in your area, you may incur additional charges from your telephone company.

Caution:
A dial-up access number is a phone number used to connect to the Internet. This is not necessarily a toll-free call. When you access your Sterling account, the modem for your computer is making a telephone call. If the access number you are using to dial-in would normally be a toll-charge call when you make a regular phone call, then it is still a toll-charge call. When your modem dials it, you will incur the same toll charges from your telephone company.

Before you use any dial-up number for Internet access, we recommend that you contact your local telephone company to verify that the number in question would be a toll-free call for your area. You can reach your local operator by dialing "0". Let the operator know what number you're dialing from and what number you plan to use to connect to the Internet. The operator will verify whether or not the number is a toll-free call for you.

It only takes a few moments, and it could save you a lot of money.
Note: It is the customer's sole responsibility to verify this information. Sterling is not responsible for any charges you may incur.

All 800 access numbers require additional fees, just like a long-distance telephone call. If you use the Sterling 877 access numbers, your account will be billed 0.15/min ($9/hr) for each minute you are connected. This invoice will come from Sterling.

To find a local access number, enter data in the relevant fields and click the "search" button. Only enter the information you are interested in. For example: if you want all the local access numbers for a particular state, enter only the state and press search. If you would like to narrow that search to a particular area code, enter the state and area code and press search.
