Using AOL Keyword "Billing" from inside AOL, the following are the only plans now offered:

AOL has several different price plans from which to choose. Click the name of the plan below to view additional information:

AOL Price Plans
1. $23.90 AOL w/Unlimited Dial-up
2. $14.95 AOL w/10 Dial-up Hours
3. $239.40 AOL Annual Plan w/Unlimited Dial-up
However, #2 (which used to be called "Bring Your Own Access") is often advertised via banner ads on various web sites, at only $9.95 a month (which is what I'm on). So it appears there is no more $4.95 for X hours anymore.

I've also used WalMart Connect at $9.95 per month, which is basically an AOL Lite version that uses the same dial-up network. But it can't be used to dial up Internationally like AOL members can. I liked it because of the great National coverage dial-up wise...using the same AOL phone numbers.

So that or someone like NetZero would be your best bet, I think. As AOL's probably out of the market for you now.

Just as a "just in case" for you...if you happen to be using SBC Yahoo DSL, they offer unlimited dial-up on their network, for no additional charge.

Or if you even know someone that uses them...you could ask those folks to set you up with one of the 7 authorized email accounts that are included with the DSL subscription...and just hitch-a-ride on their account with unlimited dial-up for you.

I think many SBC DSL folks don't even realize it's there and/or included and that they can add so many names and sign-ins to the account at no additional charge.
