Title: free dialup service?
Post by: Snake X on March 01, 2011, 07:54:12 pm
I might not be with this computer for much longer so I need to get someone's advice on where i can get free dialup service. I am NOT able to sign up for say.. netzero's plan because it requires so much info, just somewhere where I can just simply sign up and get online without much contact info required. Thank's.

If you are in the US, you can use a public library's internet.

Sometimes you can sneak away with a neighbor's wifi.  ;) You'd be amazed at how many people don't place keys.

Actually I believe dial-up is now canceled in many areas. My grandparents used to use dial-up until their ISP canceled the service. So they then had to upgrade to broadband. Also why don't you want to give out your info. ???

Don't you have any Internet connection at home already? Did your parents cut your internet or something?

That said, I can't help. I remember back in the days at Future Shop stores they had free AOL CDs that let you connect to dial-up, but you had to use their own browsers. Over here they still offer dial-up, but it costs $10 a month and I wouldn't be surprised if it was eventually cancelled.
