FREE 0845 DIALUP SERVICE

This is a free service. It is designed for anyone who wants to use a modem to connect up to the Internet in a 'pay as you go' fashion.

There is no catch here. Connection costs the price of a local call and access is on an 0845 number.

It is important to configure your email software to send mail. To prevent the proliferation of junk mail it is generally not permitted to send mail other than via the service you are connected with. Follow the settings in the table at the bottom.
