Which ISPs (other than AOL) can allow me to access my emails in the UK and abroad? I would like to have an account with one ISP that will let me connect to the internet and access emails from UK and Europe (Greece mainly). I am based in the UK. |

Hi Screba, Although you've received a lot of good comments about web based email, which is definitely a useful thing to have at times, I see you don't yet have the information you wanted about ISPs that will allow you to connect to the Internet from various countries. I'm assuming you're interested in worldwide internet access, not just email, so that you can connect to the 'net from wherever you might be with your laptop or mobile phone or PDA or whatever. If so, there are some companies other than AOL that do offer this type of worldwide access and service. Here's a webpage with information about a number of these services: http://www.internetservicelist.com/pages/c.asp?cid=11 This ISP has local access in over 150 countries, including the UK and Greece: http://www.iberpass.com/us/access-points.html In addition, here are links to several more sites with information about companies that provide comprehensive internet access for the areas you need. Their bases vary, and some have a monthly or yearly contract, some are prepaid, some are metered. However, all include local access numbers in the UK and Greece, as well as others worldwide: http://www.jetsetroam.net/ (UK Based) http://www.titancard.com/?ref=GC2A1 http://www.maglobe.com/home.htm http://www.roamintl.com/ http://myhosting.com/dialup/ http://www.connect.com.au/accessglobalroam.cfm I do hope these will give you enough choices for a single ISP that will let you connect while travelling. If not, or you need additional information, please ask for clarification before rating the answer, as I'm interested in helping you find what you need. Best wishes, Byrd |

While it isn't an "ISP" per se, I use hotmail - which can be accessed *anywhere*. www.hotmail.com websearcher-ga |

http://www.yahoo.com And equally, you can set up a web based email account on Yahoo, which will also allow you to (in most cases) pick your email up from other ISPs (joe@otherisp.com). You would need to be able to access the web through, for example, a Internet cafe, though for this to work. |

Many if not most ISP's that offer local dialup (or DSL, and cable) service offer "POP3" accounts that can be accessed over the internet from any online computer (and many cell phones). There are also many services that provide the "POP3" accounts without offering a connection, and then there are the Web Based services, that can be accessed from any online computer. So there are really thousands of them, in the UK you might try http://www.portland.co.uk for free POP3 Accounts, and even free webpage hosting. They even have free dialup access in parts of London. |

Demon Internet have a Web Mail facility which allows you to access your normal email from anywhere, provided you can get to a computer with a browser and web access. Michael2 |
