When using Mobile
« on: October 31, 2010, 08:53:31 pm »
Has anyone done the mobile offers, and do you know does it take the money or charge the money instantly or when does it charge the money ? I signed up for one not reading lol, and text stop back immediately is it still going to charge me or no ? Anyone know ?

Usually if you sign up for a mobile offer it will charge your bill 9.99 a month.  If you typed stop back....you should be fine from this point forward.  But yes, you will see the charge on your next cell bill.  Usually the 9.99

@Bigtalon - Just curious, how can you "accidentially" click on an offer and do it?  lol!  Anyways, it'll probably be on your next months/maybe this months charge but sometimes they'll credit your account back....depends...I'm not saying it WILL...it MAY
I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.

Unfortunately most of the time when you complete mobile offers you DO get charged a monthly fee, even if you text STOP back to the number.  This is because you have already been charged for one month, but they will not charge you for another if you reply STOP like it usually says to on the text.  Read the fine print beside the asterisks.  Which mobile offers have you done?  I can look at them and tell you if you will be charged.  For example, you will be credited $7.20 if you do the "Get Bonus American Idol Ringtones or Cool Text Services Now!" offer, and $7.20 is pretty much the most you can get for a mobile offer.  However, when you click on the offer and scroll down to the bottom of the page you see the following:

Minimum age restrictions apply. You must be 18 or older in order to participate in the following states: Florida. cdba1ddb31cc6ebaeba35cf02be124c4
Terms & Conditions for AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Alltel, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile and Cellular One customers: By entering the PIN code sent via text message to the cell phone number supplied by you on this page, you agree to Flycell's Terms of Use, Flycell's Privacy Policy and you acknowledge that you are subscribing to Flycell's ClubPack service at a cost of $9.99 per month, for which you will receive 10 credits every month. 15 additional credits will be deposited into your account for the first month of service only. Credits can be used to download ringtones (1 credit each), wallpapers (1 credit each), animations (1 credit each), themes (1 credit each), games (2-3 credits each), applications (2-3 credits each), SMS services such as Text Alerts and Mobile Match up (*Games and Mobile Match Up not available to Verizon Wireless customers). Credits expire at the end of each monthly billing period. Internet-enabled handsets are required. Message and Data Rates May Apply. Charges will appear on your wireless bill or will be deducted from your prepaid balance. Charges will continue until you cancel your subscription. The account holder must authorize all charges. To cancel your subscription text the word STOP to 69999. For help, text the word HELP to 69999. To learn more about Flycell's Terms & Conditions, visit our website at http://www.flycell.com/terms-of-use or call 1-800-580-0017.

You receive $7.20 for doing the offer, but are charged $9.99 to do it as well, so you are actually losing money ($2.79).
I try to stay away from mobile offers due to this!  I'm really sorry this happened to you, please read the fine print in the future so you don't end up getting charged again.   

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
Becca

I will be trying to stay away from all mobile offers.  I thought if I hit stop I wouldn't be charged....not so.  I learned just by replying STOP will trigger a $9.99 charge.  Fortunately, my cell phone provider was understanding and removed the charges after placing a couple phone calls to my carrier.  Oh well.
