Notes:
If dialing our U.S. 1-800 number, enter 800 as
the area code, then 737-7530 as the telephone number. If
dialing one of our non-800 style numbers (see
list), use the calling format that works for the area
you are in. For example, if no area code is required when
dialing, you might only need XXX-XXXX as the number to dial.
Each country/state have their own calling formats. For more
information on calling patterns including access from Hotels,

Enter User name and Password exactly as you had
entered it during signup, then Next to continue.

name and Password are case sensitive so if you
used any capitalization, it will be required here.
Add "@bamnet"

Important: do not add ".com"
