Wtd :- Cheapest Dial-Up Account

wackojackouk

My mum has just got her first PC and wants to get Internet Access.

She only wants it for emails and the occasional surf on the web so I thought perhaps a cheapie dial up option would be a good way to start before I convince her to go broadband.

Can anyone recommend a good supplier for dial up on a BT line.

Cheers

0845 dial up, no need to sign up just use the password and user name shown...even show you how to set it up

forgot to add....get her to use a yahoo/lycos/excite online email address, that way, when she decides to go broadband she won't lose her email and it can be accessed from anywhere in world

for £7 a month - she can get 60hrs of access a month from zazizam(https://www.zazizam.com) - she can use any exisiting email providers.... just need to use zazizam's outgoing mail server. zazizam also provide a webmail service, so she could check her email via that - though it is limited to their email addresses at the moment (which is understandable).

i use their broadband - so no complaints there

https://www.fast4.net £6-99 a month unlimited

The Pay As You Go options (0845 numbers) are fine if you don't do much (if any) surfing during the day. The numbers are something like 60p an hour evenings and weekends, £1.80 an hour during weekdays. I'd take the view that she's likely to get addicted and go for an £x a month service (0800 numbers) similar to those recommended by mrJ and alared (others will no doubt follow...).
