via/through/by

Hello

1. "I'll contact you through/via/by the internet/phone." Can I use all of them in such a case, i.e. through, via, by???

2. "It's a shallow and an easy way to make money." Are the articles correct in this sentence? Can I leave out "an" before "easy"?

thanks

To me, it's correct, but I'll capitalise the 'i'.

Hi

So there is no possibility to say "through the internet." I've seen many times "via the internet"

So I may write: It's a shallow and easy way to make money AND IT STILL MEANS THE SAME AS It's a shallow and AN easy way to make money.

take care

Hi,

So there is no possibility to say "through the internet." I've seen many times "via the internet" Yes, you can use these two words when you are speaking of the internet. But if you are talking abpout the phone, 'through' is wrong and 'via' is awkward. What I mean in my reply was that 'by' is the only one of the three that you can use both for the internet
