I made the mistake of trying "Access4Free". I never used this service for one second, and yet they billed me $9.95!!! Their sales pitch is that it's free for the first 10 hrs/month, and if you go over, they can bill you - this is for their regular plan.

So, if you go over 10 hrs/mo, they need your credit card - I gave them the info to get access to the software, back on November 17, 2003. They also have the "Asscess4free plus" plan, which I did NOT apply for. That plan is $9.95/mo, for unlimited dial up.

I specifically did NOT apply for the "plus" plan, because I was trying this out for my girlfriend, and I did not think she would use this ISP. I downloaded their software, could NOT configure it to work, and never used their service for a second, let alone more than 10 hours!

Access4free admits that I never used their services, BUT they have this "policy", if you're a plus customer, they can bill you for never using
their services. Believe me, I would NOT have given them my credit card if I knew this. They also do NOT post this billing info anywhere on their site!!

I think this is an outright scam - mysteriously, you're a "plus" customer, and get charged. If they do this to 1000 people per month, for a year, they make $119, 400 for service they never provided! SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME!!!
