AOL is free - tell your friends :)
A while ago AOL decided to charge separately for their dial-up service and allow free email accounts. This news doesn’t seem to have reached all AOL customers because I’m still finding people that are paying for AOL dial-up access thinking that it’s necessary to keep their email address. I understand their need to keep an AOL email address because they have business cards or advertisements printed with that address and can’t easily change it. The other night I asked a neighbor of mine if he was still paying AOL to keep his email address. He’s the third person I asked and the third person who is paying without the need. Our neighborhood has a contract with the cable company to get discounted cable TV, so most of us also have high speed cable internet service. If you’re paying AOL $15-$22 per month and paying for DSL or Cable internet, you can probably save yourself some money. Here’s AOL’s description of their free email accounts:
If you’re feeling grateful that I just saved you $180 per year, feel free to send some of it to me
