Be aware that not all 1-800 numbers are free. You should sign up with a local provider only on a monthly basis. Do not commit to a service for a year. Prices and capabilities change continuously, and you as a consumer want to be able to take advantage of the services that are best for you. Billing is ordinarily handled with via credit card or bank draft.
Monthly billing is available but at an extra cost.
Your Internet provider will provide you with software to access the World Wide Web, email and other functions or show you how to download the software from the net. Once you have signed up with a local Internet provider your can then surf the net at your leisure. I feel the Internet is a real opportunity for everyone to explore. Jr. P.E.
