"I like to use them to go online via dialup. We have the Verizon plan that costs 10 cents per min to use the phone with no connection fee so in my opinion it is not too expensive."

uva125, I have the Verizon service as well. Do you mean I could have been using it for Internet access all this time for .10/minute???? I did not know that I usually get my dial-up through aol....but I also have access to Earthlink dialup....
