question of the week


Well i know that there are many sites that charge you from signing up for things like getting ring tones. This one website told me they were going to give me free ring tones and would show me the new ones that came out. But i did not have unlimited text so it was charging up my bill like crazy. Some things that you sign up for say like if you do not want to continue this service call or text a random number. You should be really careful when you sign up for some thing on the internet because it could really mess up your bill and charge you a whole lot without even knowing. Like a lot of the things you see on tv about true love and horoscopes don't tell you the first time that they are going to charge you 9.99 a month. If this happens to you then you should try to get it off of your phone as soon as possible because you would not want unwanted fees on your cell phone bill. You should call your phone service and tell them or ask them if there are any like hidden charges being charged on your account. One way you could avoid this type of problem is by checking the websites you are going to. And if they ask for your number to make sure they are not going to charge your bill with anything. Also to make sure if they are going to charge you that its not like a whole lot of money. The problem with this is when people sign up for things types of things they never know really how much they are being charged or they do not know that they are being charged at all. I do not know if this is illegal or not. It probably should be because you do not know what you are going to be charged with and you do not know what your signing up for really. it may say one thing but it could be something else. I think that having these types if things are wrong because people may just want a simple little thing but then they end up signing up for something else. And they end up getting charged a lot of money for something that should not be charging them that much for. It is hard to really say if this is illegal because its not really a crime going on. You sign up for the stuff but you should actually read the stuff you are signing up for. There is fine print and you should defiantly read everything because you never know what you are going to get. Its actually your fault if you sign up for something with out really reading what you are signing up for. So make sure that you read everything and make sure they are not going to charge you. If this happens to you then you should try to get it off of your phone as soon as possible because you would not want unwanted fees on your cell phone bill.
