Can anyone help?
My son works off shore in many different parts of the world, he is planning
on getting a laptop and is wondering how he can get e mail without the cost
of having to use a Mobile phone for the connection which would cost an arm
and a leg.
Does anyone know of a ISP provider that could be accessed from a variety of
phone numbers around the world at one cost?

His actual words were...... "I need a subscription to an ISP that will allow
me to be able to plug into a phone line in the Houston crew flat or the
Aberdeen crew flat or a crew flat in which ever other country I happen to be
in and connect to a local number for my dial up connection. "
All ideas gratefully received

Hate to say it but AOL do (spit)

No need to swear! Lots do these days. I managed to access my blueblunder email
account while I was abroad this year.

If all else fails, David, he should get a hotmail account (or similar) and access it
from wherever he can lig a connection. It's becoming quite ok to ask if you can just
access your mail from s/o else's connection. And there are plenty of internet cafes
around the world.
