My cell phone provider told me not to text STOP, just don't do anything and make sure you let your cell phone company know that you do not want 3rd party charges from text subscriptions.

On this other site I completed a offer than relized they charged my phone $9.99 and you have to cancell it if you don't want to be charged. But you have to keep it if you want the credit so I don't do those ones.

So what you are saying is that if I call my provider and say that I dont want to be charged I can do these offers without being charged? I have unlimited texting and was charged by the first one I did so if your right I'll try and call to ask them.

They can either cost you a fortune.
Read the fine print because it can turn into a total nightmare with dropping out of the offer.
