ATTENTION COLLEGE STUDENTS - KEEP IN TOUCH OVER SUMMER BREAK and SAVE MONEY USING THE WEB

(CPWire) BASKING RIDGE, N. J. -- The stress of finals is just a memory. Everything you own is packed and ready to go for the trip home. But, there's something missing - a way to keep in touch with your friends over the summer.

Why not use the `Net to keep in touch, just as you use it throughout the school year to keep informed? According to Student Monitor, LLC, the leading research service studying the college audience, 89 percent of you use the Internet, clocking an average of almost six hours per week online. And you visit sites primarily for information. Student Monitor reports that, regularly, half of the 10 Internet sites college students visit most often are news sources: ESPN, CNN, NY Times, MSNBC and Wall Street Journal. The student-targeted site you visit the most is JOBTRAK, and it made your top-ten list as well.

AT&T; has lots of Internet-based ways to help college students get the headlines from their friends over summer break without ''breaking the bank.'' Here`s how you can use the `Net to stay connected.

* Call your friends using AT&T;`s phone-to-phone Internet telephony service, AT&T; Connect `N Save(R), which offers a rate of 7.5 cents per minute for calls made from selected cities; elsewhere, the service offers a low calling card rate of 15 cents per minute. To sign up, go to www.connectnsave.att.com or call 1-800-345-0995, ext. 1043.

* Have virtual get-togethers over the `Net using AT&T;`s Click2Dial(SM) Conferencing, which lets you set up and manage a conference call with up to seven people for 15 cents per minute per person billed to your credit card. To use it, go to www.click2dial.att.com.

* Find a friend`s hometown address using AT&T;`s AnyWho (www.anywho.com) Web site without charge or by calling AT&T; 00 INFO(SM) service, which charges 99 cents for directory service for up to two local listings or two long distance lookups. With 00 INFO you don`t need to know the area code or exact city.

* Send email using AT&T; WorldNet(R) Service, which offers flexible pricing plans, including $21.95 for unlimited usage, and gives every subscriber six mailbox IDs to share with the family. Go to www.att.net to find out more.

With AT&T; and the Web, there`s no need to tell your college friends ''good bye'' for the summer. You can keep in touch, affordably, all summer long and get back together in the fall without missing a beat.

AT&T; SERVICES TO TRY THIS SUMMER

Internet telephony phone calls

AT&T; Connect `N Save Service lets you make long distance calls using Internet Protocol (IP) telephony over AT&T;`s private IP network. You don`t need a computer or any special equipment, just a Touch-Tone phone. And you won`t need to change your current long distance service or calling plan to begin saving today. Calls to U.S. locations are only 7.5 cents per minute when using the Connect `N Save local access numbers in the Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Miami, Phoenix, San Jose and San Francisco areas.

Anyone outside these cities can use a nationwide toll-free access number to make long distance calls anywhere in the U.S. for a low calling card rate of 15 cents per minute. And there are no fees or monthly minimums. Low international rates are available and vary by country.

To use AT&T; Connect `N Save Service, you prepay for a set amount of calling in units of $25, $50 or $100. When you make a call, the service automatically tells you how much time and money you have left in your Connect `N Save account. You can replenish your account at any time with a credit card, check or money order. You also can sign up for the auto-refresh option that automatically adds additional dollars to your account by charging your credit card when your account balance is low.

New customers who purchase $25 or more of calling time will receive 60 free minutes.

To sign up for the service, visit the web site at https://www.connectnsave.att.com or call 1-800-345-0995, extension 1043 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

Virtual get-togethers

AT&T; Click2Dial Conferencing service lets you use the Web to set up and manage a conference call with up to seven people without operator assistance. To use the service, go to www.click2dial.att.com, enter your phone number, the phone numbers of the people you want to call, and a credit card number. AT&T; Click2Dial Conferencing acts as a virtual operator and places all the calls for you on the AT&T; network. Only the host of the call needs to have Internet access and a separate phone line. The other participants only need a phone. Calls are 15 cents per minute per person and are billed to the host`s credit card.

Where`s that phone number?

AT&T;`s AnyWho directory lets you find phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, the correct spelling of a name, toll-free numbers, or even who`s living next door to you. Hard-to-spell last names are no problem either. You just select ''sounds like'' matching for the last-name field from the pull-down menu.

If you have a phone number and no name associated with it, you do a reverse lookup to find the owner. Just go to www.anywho.com and you`ll be able to search 90 million listings. There`s no charge to use the AnyWho directory.

If you`re not Web savvy, AT&T; customers can simply dial ''0-0'' (zero-zero) from their home phone to reach AT&T;`s ''00'' INFO National Directory Assistance Service. You`ll speak with a live, helpful agent not a computer who will work with you to locate the listing you`re looking for. What`s really nice about ''00'' INFO is you dont need to know the area code, city or even the correct spelling.
