Yip you read correct it's not for me but a friend who never uses the computer and only wants to check emails etc.

So does anyone know any isp severs for dial up connections.

Something that is cheap

Thanks

What about a pay as you go mobile dongle?

Much faster and cost affective I would have thought.

3 do a pay monthly one for £7.87 a month also.
 
just done a quick search on google and there are quite a few but most offer 0844 or 0845 numbers so I would look at the price of calls to that number as it could be expensive and work out more expensive than a dongle in the long run
 
PAYG dongle would be the best I think though it's not as flexible as it used to be. It will be faster than dial up and probably just as cheap however.

Voda did one that was £3 a month and then £2 per 240MB. That was on a 30 day rolling contract I believe.
 
Just connect his phone direct to the pc? either use its credit, or use a month booster.

T-mobile booster is £5 for a month, £20 for 6 months.
 
now your going to laugh at this but he's only just bought a mobile i've no idea what make it is or anything like that. i don't even know if it has the internet.

He really is a little slow with technology.
 
As others have said you may as well get a 3G dongle or tether a phone.

If he insists on dial up then use one of them 08XX numbers if he's only going to use it for brief periods. No subscription and costs like 4p a minute during daytime.

Just get a super cheap broadband connection, something less than 10 a month.

However once they start getting used to the connection their usage is going to increase!

This. My step-grandad started off on 56k and knew NOTHING about the internet. I set him up with an e-mail address, then an amazon account, then an ebay account etc, now he's got virgin 20mb boradband and he's on it loads!

you can get Sky broadband for £5 a month with £11 line rental which I'm sure he already pays.
