There used to be two companies (that I know of)
offering free internet service. They are referred
to as ISP (Internet Service Provider). One went
out of business or was bought out and the only one
that I know of now is netzero. There web page is
www.netzero.com. The catch is you have to
download their software and what it does is it
puts a banner ad on the top of your computer
screen. With a 15" monitor this could be annoying
but with a 19" you can kinda mentally block it
out. They have alot of local phone numbers (check
their web page), it all depends on where you live.
When I was using them their dialup number was the
same as the number for my pay service which was
18.95/mth. Unfortunately for some reason they no
longer provide access in my area so I'm back to
paying 18.95. That is actually high for an ISP
but since it is the only game it town it is either
pay or sit on the sidelines.

As for free email there are all kinds of places
offering free "internet email" but as others have
said, to read it you need an internet connection.
Yahoo and hotmail are a couple just to mention a few.
