Cell Phone Number

[dankasper]

Hi Folks what is the deal with the offers that want your cell phone.. Do they charge you the 9.99 right away? or can you cancel before they do...

I wish someone would have answered you. I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure once you activate the service they will charge you. But I would like to know from someone who has completed it.

Not ignoring you.  I just don't do those so I can't answer.  I must be the only person on the face of the planet that still has limited minutes and texting.  I am not a big phone talker.

YES THEY DO charge you right away, I learned that the hard way!! Hope that helps.

sorry, but i do appreciate the input.

They charge you as soon as you enter your cell phone number. I speak from experience. I won't do a cell phone offer again.

I don't know about right away, but the charge will be on that months cell phone bill.  And you have to be careful, because some of them are "services" that will continue to charge you once a month if you don't cancel.   

Make sure that you ALWAYS read the fine print on these offers that ask you to input any information other than your opinion.

Yes they charge, thats the very reason I dont do them,,,,, anymore anyway.

I never did one of these, because I read the fine print and I realized that they charge the phone bill immediately. Also when I use my cell phone number for other offers I put it in as my home phone (which it is, because that's my primary phone I use at home), because otherwise if they know its a cell phone they give it out to companies that specialize in sending spam as text messages. I don't have a data plan, so I get charged for every text message I receive or send.

This is good info.  I've always wondered the same.  I will stay away from these type offers.

do you neeed to confirm something via your cell phone in order to get charged, like confirmation code.  I dont wanna sign up for something like this on accident.

They charge you instantly.

They charge you right away and it is very hard to cancel - may take months and then good luck on trying to get you money back,
