ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the
Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share of Prodigy Communications Corporation ("Prodigy"), a Delaware
corporation, and amends SBC's statement on Schedule 13D filed on November 29,
1999, as amended and restated by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 12, 2000 and as
amended and restated by Amendment No. 2 filed on June 13, 2000.

         The address of the principal executive office of Prodigy is: Prodigy
Communications Corporation, Building III, 6500 River Place Boulevard, Austin,
Texas 78730.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Item 4 is amended to include the following:

         (a)-(j) SBC and Prodigy have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as
of December 29, 2000, between Prodigy, as borrower, and SBC, as lender (the
"Credit Agreement").

         Except as otherwise provided in this Statement, capitalized terms that
are used but not otherwise defined in this Statement shall have the meaning
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, SBC has agreed to make revolving
loans to Prodigy from time to time, for general corporate purposes, in the
maximum aggregate principal amount of $110,000,000. The Credit Agreement will
terminate on the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the termination of the
Commitments (the maximum aggregate amount of loans available under the Credit
Agreement). The loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the one
month LIBOR plus 400 basis points and may be prepaid without penalty at any
time. The principal and accrued interest on all outstanding Loans are due upon
termination of the Credit Agreement. Prodigy's obligations under the Credit
Agreement rank at least pari passu in priority of payment with all of its other
unsecured debts.

         The obligations of SBC to make any loans under the Credit Agreement
is conditioned on SBC having, among other things, received the favorable
written opinion of Prodigy's counsel. SBC's obligations are also conditioned
upon SBC and Prodigy having entered into an amended Strategic and Marketing
Agreement and Prodigy having obtained the approval of the Prodigy Board of
Directors to enter into such amended Strategic and Marketing Agreement. If
such conditions have not been satisfied or waived prior to January 19, 2001,
the Commitments Agreement will terminate at such time.

                                       -4-
<PAGE>


         Until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and the principal and
interest on each Loan has been paid in full, Prodigy will not: (i) create,
incur, assume or permit to exist any lien on any property owned by Prodigy,
other than certain permitted liens, (ii) merge with or into any other person,
unless no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing as a result
thereof and Prodigy is the surviving corporation, or dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets, (iii) engage in transactions with its
affiliates on terms and conditions less favorable than could be obtained on an
arm's-length basis, and (iv) except under limited circumstances, enter into any
agreement or arrangement that (a) imposes any condition on or restricts
Prodigy's ability to create, incur or permit to exist any lien on its property
or assets, or (b) imposes any condition on or restricts any Subsidiary's ability
to pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to its capital stock
or guarantee indebtedness.

         The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith
and is specifically incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 4.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 is amended to include the following:

(a) SBC and SBC Sub continue to beneficially own 50,448,283 shares of Class A
Common Stock. However, due to issuances of shares of Class A Common Stock by
Prodigy, the 50,448,283 shares of Class A Common Stock currently represent
41.92% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (based on the number
of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in Prodigy's Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2000 and assuming that the 50,448,282
shares of Class A Common Stock into which SBC Sub could exchange its Units
and the one share of Class A Common Stock into which SBC Sub could convert
its Class B Common Stock are outstanding).

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS,  UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
         RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 6 is amended to include the following:

See "Item 4. Purpose of Transaction" for a description of the Credit Agreement
which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement and is
specifically incorporated herein by reference in answer to this Item 6.


ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Item 7 is amended to include the following:


         Exhibit L            Credit Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2000,
                              between Prodigy Communications Corporation, as
                              borrower, and SBC Communications Inc., as lender.
