Can you go on the internet for free??

Hello - I have a iMac G3 350 Mhz that I want to give to my mother, who lives on
a limited budget. My question is (and it's probably a lame question, but): Using
OS 9.2.2 and Netscape (which has free email), is it possible to plug in the phone line for dial-up, open up Netscape Communicator, and surf the internet?? I tried this today, after trying to set up the TCP?IP Control Panel correctly, but it didn't work. Does anybody know if one can do this?... I would like to install OS X on this computer, but I will first need to replace the internal drive, which is either 4 or 6 gigs..... Thank you very much.

If there is a free service out there as you explain, I am not aware of it.
If you are using Dial Up ...DSL...or Cable, you will need to get in touch with them.
I will give you an example.AOL sends out thousands of free CD's which enable users to download the said CD on there computer which allows them to have acsess to the Internet for so many Minutes FREE, The catch is you have to sign a contract for a year and you are stuck.
If you are going to get a service I suggest going with a higher speed connection, like DSL or Cable.. They will all charge so much a month.. The faster the connection the more money..
You mention Netscape, it is a browser, which enables you to read any data that is on any of the web sites you visit.
With OS 9 you will probably use one of several Browsers that are all free. Netscape... Internet Explorer.. Firefox
I would lean toward an Open Source such as Firefox..
If you are planning to upgrade the HD, I suggest you get more RAM, I think you will find 512 MEG of RAM is a good number for the 350.
I think you will also find it is cheaper to buy a used Mac than attempt a HD Change in the iMac.
So to sum this up you need more Ram whatever you decide to do. Then you need to shop around for an Internet Service Provider in your area, and please shop around, and if I were you I would try to stay clear of Dial up unless that is your only choice... Good Luck.. Don

    You don't need to have an iCloud account to redownload previously purchased music from the iTunes store.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.

  • Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4s and still use it with a wifi connection ?

    Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4 and then use the phone as normal

    I assume that you're asking if you can shut off cellular data (as no individual can shut off the Internet! )? Yes, you can turn off cellular data and use the phone features (except for MMS which requires cellular data) and access the Interenet via WiFi.
    Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off

  • I just got a iPhone 4 in the past month. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

    I was wondering that if I just recently bought a iPhone 4 from apple. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

    Yes.  I just did today.  However, the new price for the iPhone 4 is now $149.   So that is the credit that will be issued, meaning the 4S will cost you $50.

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • Can you Skype Mobile to Mobile for free?

    If you have an existing skype account you have used on your PC, can you set that same account up to use your mobile or do you have to have a separate account for your mobile?  I loaded the mobile app and signed in with my existing account, if I try to video call someone in my address book (iPhone user who has the app) it tells me I must have credits...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The user must be signed in on their device with the account that you are trying to contact in order to receive the call. I think you need to be running Skype on the iPhone in order to receive the call; on Skype for Windows Phone 8 Preview, the app can receive calls while it is not running.
    You cannot call landline or cell phone contacts from Skype (on any client) without having Skype credit. In the Skype for Windows Phone app, tap the "call" button in the application bar (the one that looks like a phone), and then tap "call Skype" to make a free Skype-to-Skype call.

  • How do I skip upgrading itunes? I used to have an option, now I can't get past the upgrade for free screen!

    I have been trying to access the itunes store for a week now but can not get past the screen to upgrade for free.  I do not want to upgrade, I tried but can not install the free upgrade because I am using 10.2.2.  I do not want to upgrade I just want to get to the itunes store... how do I get past this screen?  There used to be an option to skip the upgrade. 

    I have an iMac G5 with a pre-Intel processor.  My current OS is 10.4.1.  When I open my iTunes store function, I get an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 page that does not allow me the opportunity to refuse the recommended upgrade and I don't want it because my processor is not the Intel processor.  I can't get past this page to access the iTunes store.  I can't find iTunes 9.2.1 online to download, if that is the only solution.  I can't believe Apple is forcing me to purchase a new iMac in order to continue using iTunes on my current iMac.  I'd like a good answer and solution to this problem.

  • With the Ipad 3G do you have a monthly fee all the time or can you just buy the internet by the mopnth when you need it because I don't need 3g at home since I have WIFI but when I go camping is when I would need to purchase wifi.

    With the Ipad wifi 3g can you just purchase internet time as need by the month because I'm trying to avoid having another monthly fee, I only need 3g when we go camping which is like two weeks out of the year.

    With ATT, you can pay month by month.  They have a $15 (256 mb) and a $25 (2gb) per month fee.  You can activate and deactivate this service directly from you iPad.  Have fun!

  • How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

    How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

    According to:
    http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
    They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
    "Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
    Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

  • Can you download a payed up for free after paying for it once?

    I brough the itranslate - ultimate app from the app store on my iphone. I didn't get to back it up to my itunes after downlowding it as i turned my iphone off and the next day it was frozen and went through a big process but short story i got a working phone and restored back from backup i had but that didn't have the itranslate app as i hadn't got to do one with it yet. My question is I had payed for it so I should be entitled to it so if i went to download from the app store again would it download for free or charge me another $12 for an app i already payed for and have receipt from itunes saying i payed for it.

    ok it just confuses me because I open itunes and click on store then account and under purchase history it does not have itranslate - ultimate listed (which i'm thinking maybe because i didn't get to sync the app with itunes) but i have the email receipt, and I don't want to go and download to see and find out i'm charged another $12
