Internet on a Budget



Internet on a Budget

Explore the many low-cost and free alternatives to full-cost Internet services. We will cover dial-ups, email, windows and browser supplements, web space, web page tools and accessories, online file storage and photo sharing, electronic planners and newsletters, list serves and online communities, software run directly from the internet, and more.

All Services offered are assumed free, unless otherwise stated.

I. Dialups – Free Internet Providers One thing to always check out when considering a Free

Internet Provider is that they offer local phone access numbers. Having a free service is useless if one has to pay for long distance phone charges when using it.
