With more and more free dial-up services becoming available, it is almost pointless to pay a dial-up provider. There are hundreds of free ISP's out there. However, there are still millions of people paying $10-$20 a month for 56k dial-up access. The reason for this might be either they don't know what's out there, or they're not sure on how to go about picking and using a free dial-up provider.

We've tried out three Internet dial-ups to help you find one or two whose traits you can live with. The services vary in terms of the size of the banner bars.

Like their fee-based cousins, most free dial-ups start you off at portals sites whose offerings typically include e-mail, voicemail, calendar, chat services and the traditional news services. Most also offer local numbers.

Free Does Have a Cost

If free appeals to you, take these free dial-up providers out for a spin. At the end of 30-days, once you're completely satisfied, cancel your paid dial-up provider. Then, with the money you've saved, treat yourself to something real nice, like that big 19" monitor you've been eyeballing.
