Thank you, Thank you. With other people's suggestions, I totally could not succeed. Probably the page on their computer was different due to the fact we may have different carriers. I searched and did step by step what they suggested and still couldn't find the area to click on. Your explanation was something I Could Understand. Finally sucess. Thanks, again, Betty
