>>>>>>>Planning a trip to Cancun in October and just wondering if anyone has any ideas on the best way to retrieve email and do a little surfing. Currently, I am using Mindspring for internet access but they have no access numbers in Cancun. Any and all suggestions appreciated.

>>>Why don't you create a thread and ask someone who has an AOL account to check and see if there is a local access number in Cancun? If there is, set up an account with AOL and use that to get your email. I believe you get 100 hours free before you are charged a monthly fee. When you get back, cancel your membership.

>>Thanks for the reply. You think like I do. I've already sent an email to AOL regarding a local access number in Cancun. If they do, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I checked Compuserve, since I already have a membership to it, and they don't have a number in Cancun, but they do in other parts of Mexico.

Tim :
Compuserve charges $9.95 a month, but that is for just something like 20 hours. They have some very interesting support forums, but nothing you can't find elsewhere on the net if you really want to. There is an hourly surcharge for anything over the max.
