How to get AOL's $4.95/month plan?

[dude8604]

My aunt had AOL's old $4.95/month plan with about 5 hours and a few dollars per extra hour. She cancelled it a while ago because she didn't have a computer. She hardly ever uses the Internet so it isn't worth $21.95/month for such low usage. Is there any way to get that plan back, or any comparable ones? I was thinking AOL would be the best for her because she already knows how to use it and it would be easier not to have to teach her something new. Any ideas? Thanks

that plan for old people is bad...every once in a while they can forget to turn off the itnernet or walk away and not come back for some time and bam 5 hours used up and internet bill is crazy since they charge some crazy ammount every hour beyond that.

I say jsut stick to something like access4less whcih is only $6 a month for unlimited and just get her used to a search engine and a few linked favorites to her sites. Thats what i did for an old lady and she was extrememly happy with just that cause it made her bills cheaper and life just as easy and not have to deal with aol ever.

Not worth the hassle imo, fix her up with access4less.net, they have a $6/mo plan and won't mail you 85,000 coasters

if you have sbc yahoo dsl, you can get free dial up

Or access-4-free. No charge up to 10 hours.

I also recommend access4less. When I had to use dialup a few months ago I was very satisfied with their service.

I used access4less before

Works great. Heard its rebadged At & T Wordnet (same access points)

Anyways, unlimited acces for $4.95. Never had a busy signal or disconnect.

You can use windows dial-up networking too, not their proprietary software,
so setting up a connection and dialing up is super easy.
