There are a few ISP's that phone service is not required to have internet access.  Covad is one.\n\nBut you do need an existing phone jack to go DSL, if ytou decide to go Cable then no telco jack is needed as it comes in over your cable lines.

No, you cannot. Ofcourse you can find Wi-Fi on your way. But if you want a real, without any breaks, Try Verison Moblie Internet

Get a VOIP router! and then hook that up with your phone line's main console...which might be outside the house!

You need a modem equipted to do so (Zoom works) the most recent drivers and a good phone line.  You are better off with DSL or cable, then if the phone rings you can just answer it.

nope, that's dial-up for you. Ask them to convert it to an ADSL line, otherwise you are SOL.

if her phone is disconnected she will still need to get it reconnected for dial up to work, and my experiece with free IP's is that they fill  your computer full of bugs, cheap try something like Netscape.

You would have to pay.  Contact Sprint, Verison or other Cell phone company about their options, costs and coverage. (Free wireless service from homes along the route would never work)\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You can try many means of connection as Cable and Satellite as they pointed out. You can also use a Wireless Mobile Phone to browse the Internet, say thru GPRS or EDGE. Many smart phones and other phones allow the phone to act as a modem! So there you go! Or you can prefer to go Wi-Fi or WiMax in a area if there is coverage, like an internet hot-spot for example!

So do you have DSL, CABLE or DIAL UP? Cuz there ar emany companies who give you wireless cards where you can access internet on the go. IF you have BROADBAND then just get a wireless router and a wireless adaptor and configure it an dyou are done. For more info contact your computer manufacturer and to get a second opinion you can always contact your Internet Service Provider.

try DSL - it can be as fast as broadband cable and you only need an active phone line.  I'm currently on DSL and since we alreay use a phone here but don't have cable, it was the most practical thing to do.  In my apt, I have no landline but cable so THAT was the best thing for me to do :)  If you have Verizon phone, I would recommend their DSL.  Their support is good and they are actually very fair.  We ended up getting crappy DSL for a few months so we got 50% off.  My friend has ATT and his connection speed decreases after an hour.  Go with Verizon DSL if you can.

If your in an area with no WiFi or aren't able to use it. Your Nokia 3220 is a good substitute. Be sure you have unlimited internet access on your phone from your service provider or it could cost you.

what do u mean "without a phone line"?\nu can improve your reception by making sure there is is as less as possible between transmitter and receiver. u could buy a wifi booster like  http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48744&doy=21m11&C=SEO&U=strat15\n\nit will increase your reception of around 30% more....

Very simply get a wireless router and a broadband connection (i.e. DSL or Cable modem)

Get DSL it is just as fast and it uses a phone line, and plus no one has to come to your house to hook it up.  It also costs less than cable internet.

The best option for you is to sign up for  callwave's internet answering machince (http://www.callwave.com/landing/corp_wam.asp) .\n\nbut you have call waiting in your phone and have V92 modem, you might enjoy the feature called modem on hold. read detail about it here:(http://www.infopackets.com/channels/en/windows/gazette/2003/20030604_receive_phone_calls_while_using_dial_up_internet_connection_part_2.htm)\n\nA little more expensive option is to buy this software for $30 (http://www.internetsoftsolution.com/pages/download.htm ).\n\nI remember, Radioshack was selling something similar for around $40  and you should check that too. they install some hardware instead of software.\nHope it helps. the bottom line is that you can do it.

Unless you want to carry a satellite dish around with you, there is no way to "always" have the internet while travelling.  Here are your options:\n\nRegular modem - limited to 56Kbps - you must have a phone cable, access to a phone jack (some payphones have these, as do most airplane telephones), and have a dial-up access number for your ISP. \n\nWireless modem (or AirCard) - available from wireless phone companies, like Verizon.  Typically gives you 14.4-19.2 Kbps speeds.  You must be able to get a signal from your wireless carrier, and you must have a dial-up access number for your ISP.  You are not allowed to use wireless modems on board airplanes.  Some wireless companies (such as Verizon) have recently introduced wireless broadband-speed connections for a hefty monthly fee.  The coverage areas for their services is severely limited, however (usually to major metropolitan areas). \n\nWiFi - Gives you the ability to access WiFi "hot spots" which are provided by some retail businesses, airports, hotels, and coffee shops.  The speed depends on the type of internet connection the "hot spot" is using.  You typically must be within a few hundred feet of the business offering the "hot spot" and you usually must pay a seperate daily or monthly access fee to use their serivce.  T-Mobile (http://www.t-mobile.com) has a network of hotspots around the country, including at most Starbucks Coffee locations.\n\nHope this helps.
