since I will be on a fixed income ( being well within retirement age
). Is there a free or nearly free way to just access email at home? I
can access the internet from the Library as needed, but you always
need access to your email"
So what are the options? Internet via Cellphone and give up land-line?
Ultra-cheap dial-up (does it exist) ?
He will have a Laptop so yes some of the time he can get WiFi when he
is at the Library or Mc Donald's.
But does anyone have a clever way to access just email at home for
someone on a fixed income?
I can think of two ideas:
Free email account with web access (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) and access it
thru the web browser at the library.
Cheap dialup. My parents have NetZero for $10/month for unlimited web &
email, and there are others. I think there used to be free ones if you
could put up with tons of ads.
