Your review has it wrong - zilladog email is free and my son loves it!
Hi - Just got my 7 year old his first email account, but was worried about SPAM for obvious reasons. Wanted a safe place he could go, and found it with zilladog.com's zillamail -- really simple to use, he figured it out right away. It's nothing fancy, but just right for kids. No fees; the parent just agrees to receive a monthly e-mailed newsletter that has ads in it. Also, the parent has to approve all e-mail buddies for your child before they can see the e-mails, so it's very secure and very simple. Thumbs up!

Very good for kids
I love the homepage idea of Zilladog.com. It has links to my kids favorite websites so they don't have to go searching the net. They also use the email service. We have never received spam or email from anyone not on the buddy list. Very good website, I recommend for all kids from ages 6 to 13.
