Which One Should I Pick?

It depends. If you want to be able to access more than e-mail, you will need a full Internet account, which usually cost about $20.00 a month. You will need a computer with at a relatively recent version of a major operating system (such as Windows or Linux) and a MODEM.

A MODEM (which stands for modulator-demodulator) allows your computer to use the telephone line to call another computer - in this case, so it can connect to the Internet.

If you would like full Internet service, ask your ISP if your computer will be calling a local telephone number, as long distance charges may add to your monthly bill.

The cheapest and quickest way to get e-mail is through a web mail account like Hotmail.com.
