Claranet Access Numbers
Here are the access numbers you need to complete step 3
Please note: If you are required to dial a specific number to obtain an outside line; for example you are in an office using a switchboard and the number to dial out is 9, then please add that number in front of the Claranet dial up access number. It would look something like this: 908451264000.
If you are calling from a withheld number (ex-directory), please add 1470 before the access number; e.g. 147008451264000
