Free Internet Access Sites

Please remember that while most of these sites offer you free Internet access/service, YOU are responsible for any local OR long-distance telephone charges to access these services. Please be sure to check with your local phone company before dialing to be sure that a listed number is not long distance for you. And by offering this list of sites, I am not recommending any of these sites over another, especially since I have yet to find one that offers a LOCAL phone number for my family and my use since we don't live in a major big city!
