Many free services are available on the Web, too many to cover on one page.
These services are often quite useful, especially for people who use the Internet very
heavily. Obtaining free Internet access is especially worthwhile; that
alone can save you about $250 per year, while still giving you an
Internet connection of reasonable quality. If you use a paid internet
service, and you rarely
use their customer service line, I highly recommend switching to a free
Internet service.
There are an incredible number of free offers available on the Internet.
Sometimes Web sites will offer freebies in order to rapidly increase membership.
Sometimes they want you to fill out a survey to get the freebie, so they
can know their customers better and market more products to them.
In some cases the Internet is such an efficient and inexpensive channel for
distribution, companies can use it to give out freebies at almost no
cost. Whatever the reason for the free gifts, they're there for
taking! This page lists some of the best "free stuff" offers we've
discovered. Surfing the Web for freebies is like a treasure hunt, there's
no telling what you'll find...
Get Free Web-Based EMail
A Web-based Email account is better than the Email account that an
internet service provider gives you. You can access your permanent
Web-based Email from anywhere, using any Internet service. If you ever
change your Internet provider, you won't have to change your Web-based Email
address. Web-based Email is especially useful if:
- You have family members who would like an Email address of their own.
- You have an Email account through your company, and would like a private
address too.
- You travel a lot, and you'd like Web-based Email
that you can access on the road.
Yahoo.com gives you
Email, an event calendar, address book and 15 Megabytes of file
storage. It's the "freemail" service that I always use. Yahoo is:
- Free, it's paid for by advertisers who show you a few ad banners
- Easy to use, you can get started with Email in minutes. If
you want to learn how to use the rest
of Yahoo, you can do that in about half an hour.
- Fast and reliable, unlike many other mail providers who are often jammed up.
- Spam-filtered, to sharply reduce the amount of spam you receive

 Mail.com can customize
your address, for example "you@lawyers.com", "you@doctor.com" and so forth.
If you sign up now, Mail.com will give you a $10 certificate, good at online

- NetIdentity.com has over 12,000
ways to customize your Email address, for example "donald@trump.com".
A NetIdentity.com address costs $9.95 per year, but it does come without the
advertising that supports almost all FreeMail sites.
- EmailAddresses.com
is the Godfather of all FreeMail sites, with descriptions of almost every
FreeMail site on the Internet. It also explains free
Email forwarding, fax, pager and foreign-language Email services.
- A fax service such as eFax.com
allows you to add fax-receiving and voice-mail
to any Email address. This cuts down on the "paper chase",
avoids bulky and expensive fax machines, and increases the privacy of your
fax messaging.
