| Effective April 2nd 2001, Verizon requires everyone in Massachusetts to use
10 digit dialing. This means that even for local calls, you MUST dial 978 and
the number (without a 1). To assist you in changing your Cove settings, we
have outlined how to update the most popular dialers. If
your dialer isn't shown here, or you require assistance changing the
access
number, please call our offices or e-mail help@cove.com.
