I am bringing my laptop next week at OKW

This may not work for everyone..

My dh has to travel frequently and needs to access email and Internet while out of state. He got very frustrated with the long distance issues until our local ISP came up with a fairly reasonably priced option. You call AT&T (or whoever is your phone provider) and purchase your own 800 number. It's far cheaper than you think, just a few dollars a month. The ISP then somehow took that number and "pointed" it at the ISP dialup number. (Don't ask me how this works 'cause I don't understand it). Now when DH dials the Internet form the road, it is really using our own 800 number. Works like a champ.

I think that the website for Sprint Prepaid Internet is:

http://www.sprintppi.com

I could be wrong though.

The AT&T prepaid internet service is for PC's only, it doesn't support Macs at this time, but here is the link and it includes 800 service to.

Here is a link to get a free trial and if you sign up before your trial minutes run out, you get another 300 minutes free

1) We have cable at home, but NetZero on the road.
2) As your main ISP, it is 1/2 the price of AOL.
3) As a travel ISP. IT IS FREE!

4) You get 10-hours free each month.
5) This is enough for Email while traveling.
6) They have access numbers all over.
7) You have to put up with a lot of ads for the free service.
8) But for the price, it is great.

While traveling, I use titancard.com for internet access. Benefits: no monthly fees, no prepaid commitment, billings are made on a per second basis ($.049/minute for all calls in USA/Canada), thousands of local access numbers, and easy to use. It is the best service I have utilized while on the road. Sign-up and give it a try.

Instead of paying .49 cents a minute, you can get unlimited dialup with national access numbers from access4less.net for $5.95 a month.
