Mobile Offers

[javadog597]

If I do the mobile offers for lets say ringtones when I complete the offer will I be charged at the end of the month on my cell phone bill? My brother got "free" ringtones after getting his phone 2 years ago and he got quite a few but at the end of the month he saw on the phone bill that he was charged for it even though the site said it was free I think it was because of some kind of data charge.

I don't have an answer, and I'm scared to find out. That's why I don't do mobile offers.

I am not sure. But if you have one of the contract plans, I think you will be charged at the end of the month. That's my guess.

Thats too bad I really wished I could do them without being charged. Ohhhh well.

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

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.
