Simply complete the Telephone Service Agreement (TSA) together with an ACN Independent Representative. The representative will send the Agreement to ACN.

| Can anybody become a subscription customer with ACN? |

If you subscribe to or are a current customer of a subscription service with a provider who is on the Telenor network you can become an ACN Subscription customer. ACN doesn’t offer new installations and we cannot transfer customers who, for example, are connected with Cable operators. If you are a customer of a Cable operator, you would first need to apply for a subscription service with Telenor and then transfer to ACN, by completing the Telephone Service Agreement (TSA).
