How do you get AOL without a landline?

You can purchase a modem that works off the GSM network (mobile phone network). These modems are relatively inexpensive about £30 in the UK. All you need to do, is charge it up, add the SIM card and pair (link up) whatever device you want to use to access the internet. These devices create a wireless access point, so you don't need a landline. Once you pair up the device you want to use, then you now have access to the internet. The other way to have access to the internet, is by using a mobile phone that has internet tethering abilities. It's more or less the same process as above, except you don't use a separate GSM modem, the mobile phone becomes a GSM modem instead (this option saves the purchase of buying extra kit). Another option is to take a wifi enabled device and find a free wifi local hotspot. You can visit a local library, they normally provide access to the Internet and in the UK provide a computer as well, although access is not always free using this option. There is also satellite internet, which can be expensive.
