Just for e-mail purposes only, but you can check out Juno free e-mail.  I
believe,
http://www.juno.com

Like I said, this is for e-mail only but it is free as long as there is a
local access number.  It is limited in that you cannot receive
attachments and message sizes are limited, or used to be, to around 50k
if memory serves.  It is a very simple program to use.

In Tulsa, not far from here, there are several companies offering
unlimited internet access for around $13.00 per month, though I have not
tried any, it's long distance for me.  Most ISP's also offer limited
usage plans where you will get a certain number of hours for under $10
then charge by the hour after that.

Take care,
