How does a USB Modem work?

Can I use it to access the internet?
Does it cost anything monthly?
Do I need a certain type of software to use the USB modem to access the internet?

This unit plugs into the computer, and the phone line plugs into it.
Yes, you can access the Internet over the phone line in “dial up” mode.
The Internet connection is always through an Internet Service Provider, or ISP.
Most charge either monthly or by the hours that you are connected. But a few offer free, but limited access. NetZero is one.

Most times there are disks with hardware that has the installation of software. Perhaps this one doesn’t need that, but may operate just with whatever is already on your computer.
