NetZero still has free dial-up Internet service (obviously pretty slow).
As I recall, there was a 10-month per quota cap. Searching for "free
dial-up Internet" finds lots of such services.


I looked into that last year, but although the page stating it are still
up, they no longer have free dialup. Clicking the link gets you to a
page stating, "Thank you for your interest in NetZero. The offer you
clicked on is no longer available. Please select one of our newest
offers providing excellent value", which shows broadband only service.

IIRC, it was a year two or so ago when they pulled it.


I just checked my free dialup NetZero account and I'm still listed as a
free user. But no, it appears new accounts can't get free accounts
anymore. But here is where you find the dialup numbers.
