| How can I become an ACN customer? |
|
Simply complete the Telephone Service Agreement and Pre-Selection Request Form together with an ACN Independent Representative. The representative will send both the Agreement and Form to ACN.
|
| Can I apply for ACN's services if I do not know an Independent Representative? |
|
Yes, simply contact ACN's Customer Service department.
|
| Why doesn't ACN advertise its products and services? |
|
The network marketing approach ACN uses does not require the huge costs associated with traditional customer acquisition methods (telemarketing, media advertising, corporate sales force), so ACN is able to pass these cost savings to the end users.
|
| Do I need special telephone equipment to benefit from ACN’s Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) service? |
|
No, there is no inconvenience involved with ACN’s CPS service. You can use your existing telephone, although in most cases tone dialing is required to enable the call to be routed via ACN; calls are sent via a switchboard to the chosen service provider and in general switchboards rely on tone dialing to correctly forward traffic. It may be that tone dialing is not required to use ACN’s CPS service, however ACN cannot guarantee this. Should you not have tone dialing please contact TP S.A. for further information.
|
| How do I make telephone calls using ACN? |

Please refer to ACN's Service Availability Reference Sheet for more details.
