Is regular phone service a must to get dial up internet service?

Question

I want to switch to dial up to save money

Answer 1

Yes, dial-up Internet uses the PSTN land-line telephone system to access dial-up Internet services at maximum of 56Kbps speed.

If you had Internet without PSTN phone service, that would be dry-loop/naked-DSL high-speed Internet over phone line... which is not the same as dial-up service.... that would be HighSpeed DSL.

And, yes there are some PC-VoIP services that will work over Dial-Up 56K Internet.  GoogleTalk works good over dial-up.  PcCall, InPhonex, and CallCentric Softphones will work on dial-up too...

Answer 2

yes!!

you cant use VoIP....but you can get just get a line without phone service....Verizon !!!

also with yahoo/AT&T....it all depends were you live!!

Answer 3

You can compare the Prices and Cash Backs from all the Internet Service Providers at once. You hope you will be able to find the best one for you.

I think you need to keep current ISP connection

or switch it to other ISP with Cash Back.

Due to speed, Dialup is not up-to-date way any longer

even though it might be cheaper than DSL.
